Ancient Egyptian enterance
For this assignment our group made a walkway that was able to stand in the path leading to the door of the studio arts building. Our structure was based off of the ancient Egyptian style of building more specifically around 1400 BC when the Hypostyle hall was created.
Some of the ideas that we incorporated from the Hypostyle hall were the ideas of having a clerestory in order to let the natural light filter in, As well as the idea of building on a grand scale.
I feel that this project was successful because it created a space that was accessible to all, and it "worked" as well as the fact that we were able to incorporate our ideas as well as ideas based on our precedents of the Hypostyle hall.
