TRANSPORTATION COLLEGE
This design seeks to integrate a vocational school with the blue collar culture of the Ballard neighborhood. The site next to a main access for cyclist sparked the idea of creating a piece of Architecture that acted as Infrastructure. By connecting to the 15th Ave bridge through a ramp the Transportation College facilitated the access for cyclist headed to downtown Seattle. The Program divides the classes and public areas with the public ramp and imposes itself as a hub for cyclists.
The Screen is derived from a vectorized sound wave from the sounds of the Ballard Locks, which was then panelized into smaller segments.
