Botany Pyramid - Recycling Center

This project was intended to challenge us to build and design a recycling center on a particular site in Milwaukee, WI. We were to design this structure using similar methodologies and strategies from previous study projects, along with using architectural programs to construct the plans, sections, and special image.

For this project, I began with a simple combination of a shelf and column idea that evolved or “branched out” to the final, the Botany Pyramid. The columns are used as a structural component, as well as, a space for parti; which also includes beams at the top, that spread out to retain the roof and its triangulated design (similarly to a tree).
