mason's lodge and guild hall process



this is a group project that has been in process work a few week now.


below is the one of the first sketches of our design that was a product of researching the program, determining what we want to accomplish. this drawing encompasses a little view of basic organization, thoughts about structure, movement, and ritual.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
material: flagstone
material location: Ash Fork, AZ
location: west of Flagstaff, AZ along historical route 66 that goes to Ash Fork

our site was chosen in a rural area just outside the Flagstaff suburban area. We wanted to relate back to the material quarry location of Ash Fork. so locating the lodge along historical route 66 has many close relationships with the history of the area, ash fork, flagstaff, and the site is also close to a major highway for more modern convenience.

goals: the main goal of the project is to allow the mason's lodge to be a detailed overview of masonry material.
we want to express the raw strength of masonry (primary structural wall and columns)
compatible material options (steel, wood, stucco, masonry orientation, color, contrasting materials and colors)
relationship with area (earth tones)

(rough spatial organization list)
