Yesterday was our first site visit as a group to the Jacksonville Center for the Arts, in Floyd, Virginia. Martha Sullivan, President of the Center, gave us an extensive tour of the campus. She and Monique Dufour, Educational Programming Coordinator, answered the students' questions about the roles the Center plays within the community, and how the building(s) currently function in embodying those roles. The students have three tasks; 1. research and analysis, i.e., What is the Jacksonville Arts Center? What untapped potential exists within the site? 2. interior space planning How can the space best contribute to the larger mission and accommodate or engage the community's access to art? 3. detailed development of the Straw Bale building interior How can an interior intervention define and manifest the best possible life of a space?
