Visitor Center

Date: Fall 2009
Location: State College, PA
Duration: 4 Weeks

Based on a concept of seeing both outside and through the building, the visitor center design developed using both physical and structural inspiration from the Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe. Initially, the designs developed based on suggested room sizes, however the final design used the placement of new paths due to its location and importance.
