Context: This project was part of the Integrated Design Studio Curriculum at Penn State. Student’s were paired into groups of 3 and worked together to both fully design and integrate systems into a 100,000 sf. program. The project prompt was to design either a medically integrated fitness center or pediatric practice to serve the people of Pottstown, Pa: an economically depressed post industrial town on the brink of recovery. The project name, Eudaemonia, is an Ancient Greek term meaning “a state of human flourishing”. The project strategy grouped all potentially programs together and then redistributed them into module groups on a campus based on practical relationships. The theories of Mat-Building influenced the design concept as well as a desire to connect the community over a large semi-urban site through both architecture and environmental systems.
