WOODBURY UNIVERSITY OUTDOOR STUDIO
Instructor: Joseph Lucido | Kiara Hiatt | Spring 2020 | Palomar College
Woodbury University held a design competition and the objective was to create an outdoor educational space that could also be used as an event or gathering space. My main goal was to create four spaces: Event/Classroom area, Lunch/Seating area, Material Investigation/Activity space, and the open Green space that can also be used as extra Event space.

The Rooftop Lunch Seating and Study area with a modern industrial feel that correlates to the area
When the exterior gate is open, it reveals an even larger and open event space
When the exterior gate is closed, the classroom, presentation space is private and allows for small gatherings

Northwest and Northeast Elevation showing the industrial materials such as concrete, steel, and the Corten oxidized steel fence specifically chosen as to ward off graffiti which is prominent in the Barrio Logan District
Southwest and Southeast Elevation showing the contrast of the steel beams and the pexi glass openings to offer an educational awareness of structure and to further the influence of Woodbury & the universities teachings
The Corten steel composite mental panels are open here and covered by pexi glass as to not expose the steel structural grid underneath, but to show the educational side of structure.
