Possibility of developing a design as a form of theoretical
-
Dear SketchUcation readers
Please view this separate (albeit potentially duplicate) thread in conjunction with my original (main) thread requesting assistance with the ongoing development of a (fairly) complex symmetrical Teaching Hospital design:
http://www.forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=38146
It has been suggested to me (via a PM) that I should consider contacting Schools of Architecture regarding the possibility of developing the above linked THC (Teaching Hospital complex) design as a form of theoretical research exercise. I do have a contact who is a lecturer at my local university (University of Cape Town) but have thus far not managed too much success with this initiative. Unfortunately (as per most things in my country - South Africa) our faculties are generally operating with minimal staffing numbers ....
Therefore I was wondering whether anyone reading this thread (or any of their professional network) might possibly have any contacts within some of the US-based Schools of Architecture that just might be interested in actively pursuing this project (as I know nothing about the US system)?
I fully realize that this request (initiative) represents an extremely "long shot" but am nonetheless hoping that the potential creative (and technical) challenges involved in attempting to create this scale of macro-structure combined with the social upliftment implicit in our project (please refer to page 2 in my original thread for further details) just might elicit a favourable response ....
With kindest regards
Jeremy
