Project Context
This project focuses on the design of a film institute and surrounding urban plan. The project replaces the current post office between the Pearl and Chinatown in Portland, Oregon.
Precedent Study

Concept
How can the form of a space affect the experience of the user?
Rooms are designed around the intended experiences of the users.
Pathways linking the rooms vary: simple paths for new users and wayfinding, hidden passageways and nooks for experienced users, and mysterious pathways to draw the public in.
