Blogpost 3

Blogpost for Jan. 31st

In-class we talked about ten specific design words to describe to a space
(space, power, experience, principles, precedent, site, order, scale, technology, surface)
I can use these words to describe UNCG. 


Space: UNCG is a very large spaces which inhabits thousands and thousands of people.

Power:

Experience: On college Ave. the walkway leads your eye directly to the McIver building, changing how you experience the space. 

Precedent: This also goes along with experience in a way. The McIver building shows precedent over the other buildings due to its size.


Site: UNCG is not placed on flat land. The site has a few hills.

Order: The space has orders to where buildings are placed. The libraries are close to the EUC, which is the central building overall.





All of these ten words are intertwined with one another. They make the space what it is. UNCG is a series of sites meshed together to make one large space, a space of study. People come to this space from all different walks of life, all searching for something different in life. Within this space they find it.
