On October 9th we received Derek Peterson, director of Allerton Park and Kevin Klinger, Associate Professor of Architecture at Ball State University for the Architecture 571 design reviews.
Temple Hoyne Buell Hall Gallery hosted graduate student’s designs, which proposed an observatory for changing nature to be built at Allerton Park. As studio instructor, professor Aaron Brakke has encouraged students to build their models using digital fabrication tools available at the Champaign-Urbana Community FabLab. Many of the studio sessions occur in this space, which is also the home of Iliad Lab.
The combination of digital and traditional techniques yielded interesting models that students used to communicate their envisioned site for visitor’s engagement with first, second, and third nature at Allerton Park.
