On the Boards: UO Lewis Integrative Science Building - Eugene, OR
Lewis Integrative Science Building will conjoin three adjacent buildings into an integrated complex beautifully expressing the very paradigm of Integrative Science: bringing together content experts from varied fields to study complex problems in collaborative ways. The results are multifaceted, complex and beautiful, as is THA & HDR Architecture's collaborative design for the new building.
We were onsite last week for a design workshop and site walk with Amanda Petretti and Laurie Canup of THA Architects, shown above with Abby Alway from AK. It's always exciting to be in the building after knowing it only from architectural drawings!
With construction in full swing, we were able to visualize locations and sight lines for signage and graphics and then study adjacencies within the volume of the newly conjoined buildings.
