zoning research

-CANNOT build below 660 feet above sea level-Maintain schoreline vegetation -quality resource -sound management -preserve wetlands and habitat -prevents erosion

-Did you KNOW? -An acre of trees can: remove up to 13 tons of pollutants from the air give off enough oxygen for 18 people daily conserve up to 100 lbs. of topsoil during a 2-inch rainfall reduce cooling costs 25 % in 90-degree weather. reduce noise pollution by 50% provide homes for 400 species of wildlife and thousands of beneficial microorganisms

the new Clemson University Preforming Arts Center. Located on the highest, most western side of the campus. It is an addition to the large scale, visual journey, through the landmarks that give identity to the university. A theater nestled on the highest point of a natural forest. Protected from external distractions, yet just a 10 minute walk from the main campus. Designed in 2010 by Maria Veronica Acosta, Katherin Harris, and Rachel Randall, under the guidence of Robert Bruhns.

The small scale journey takes place through the site. Paths guide one from the parking lot, to the lobby building, then through the inner courtyard, with the black box theater as the final destination. The journey through the site is designed to be mysterious yet playful, revealing framed views of the lake, nature, and the architecture.

The external wall skin was inspired by the organic structures of leaves and tree canopies. The skin patterns alter according to the program inside, revealing activity and views in more public areas like the lobby space, and providing privacy in areas like the dressing rooms The structure is exposed inside the building to display the assembly strategy.
