Grace & Mercy/ Petronas Towers

I must say that I am totally confused and afraid of this project. I am so afraid that I am totally off base with my project and I don't know what to do? Well I have been sketching and constantly taking in any advice from the professors. Any advice you can give would be a great help.

In an architectural perspective I recently saw a story on the Petronas Twin Towers recently and although this story was really old...The construction process was amazing. Malaysia was known for its abundance of concrete so of course the structure was primarily concrete. But the interesting part was that for some reason the building drawing were off by 1/4 in and the building was being built incorrectly and caused the structure to begin to slant vertically. They had to derive a solution to build from the existing incorrect building to realign by building back towards the 1/4 in error. The solution was absolutely amazing in my opinion. Check it out!

Fort Monroe

After attending the Fort Monroe closure meeting, my mind was literally blown on the entire idea they are closing an entire site. The fact they are going to evacuate from this place really blows my mind but also opens up an entire new design process in my head. Although Architecture is indeed my passion I always dabbled into the design of cities and urban planning. This area has so many avenues that it could take its ridiculous.

Besides it being an entire little community within itself, it could be a great vacation site, a museum, and or senior community. The possibilites are endless. Makes you wonder why they wouldnt want to keep such a great spot.

I have just began my journey here at hampton and maybe there are issues with this area that I am not aware of. These issues could be the driving forces of the military abandoning this location. THIS has sparked my curosity to find out the why, when, where, and what happened with this place. The saga will continue......
