Perkins Eastman Architecture firm designed the Slane Student Activity Center for High Point University. The new state-of-the-art center is 44,149 square feet. The Perkins Eastman firm says the building has a neo-Georgian architectural style. The firm decided to go with this style to reflect the early style of the campus which dated back to the 1920s

The photo above is the inside of the new facility. I love how they add big windows. When a lot of people think of a gym they think it is dark. I also love the glass staircase which gives the gym an open look.

Perkins Eastman architecture firm designed the Dunbar High School. The new school was inspired by the 1917 school that was demolished in the 1970s while the learning environment has a more futurist look. The new Dunbar High School is 280,000 square feet and houses 1,100 students. The school is also designed in an environmentally friendly way.

The picture above is the part of the inside of Dunbar High School. I love the inside of this school. I think that this school is most students’ dream to go to based on the inside. It is bright and has lots of windows while also being very open and new.

Perkins Eastman Architecture firm designed the Rutgers University: School of Nursing & Science Building. This building is located in Camden, New Jersey and is 95,000 square feet. I love the shape of this building with the extreme point at one end. It reminds me of the foam cheese heads that the Green Bay Packer fans wear. I also love the glass windows mixed in with the brick.
  

This is a look at the building from the side. It gives the building an interesting look since the brick walls are an outline and don’t have any contact with the windows on the sides. Overall I love the futuristic look of this building.

Perkins Eastman architecture firm is a global company. It was found in 1981 in New York City. They recently help create New York City’s largest free-standing cancer center. Perkins Eastman Architects, Ennead Architects, and ICRAVE collaborated to create the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The cancer care center is 25 stories tall and 750,000 square feet.

Perkins Eastman Architects were the medical planner and interior designer of clinical spaces. The building was designed to reduce energy consumption and operate optimal efficiency. 

The above picture is what the inside of the cancer center looks like. I love the minimalism of the white, green and light wood. The overall vibe of the place is calming which is something the patients need with what they are going through.

The Devon Tower is one of my favorite buildings in Oklahoma. I love that the building is mostly windows as you see in the picture the sunset and sunrise look beautiful on the windows. The inside of the Devon Tower is just as modern and sleek as the outside of the building. The lower level of the Devon Tower has a restaurant which as amazing food. It also has a water pond that has an infinity edge which adds to the sleek look of the lobby. The outside of the lower level has seating as well as lots of plants and flowers. The outside lower level is the perfect spot on a sunny day.

The new Norman Public Library has very modern architecture. The part of the new library that caught my attention and I fell in love with is the sculpture in front of the building. The sculpture is in a tornado shape and the book page are in the tornado. I love the idea of this sculpture since we have a lot of tornados in Oklahoma but the book pages also represent the library. I also love the modern inside of the library with many different places to study or read. I also love how many windows this library has which lets in a lot of natural sunlight during the day.

During my sophomore year, I have spent the most time at the Price College of Business Building. I have negative and positive emotions about this building. My negative emotions usually happen when I see that all the seats are taking and there is no room to set. I would have loved if they would have added more seating. That being said I do have a lot of positive emotions about the Price Building. I love how many windows the building has and how much light they bring in. I also love the classrooms in Price. I think they are optimal for learning. I can’t wait for all the classes I still have left to take in the Price Building.

When I went to New York in January I got to visit many cool places and see many cool buildings. But the World Trade Center Building 5 stuck out in my mind. The official name of this building is One World Trade Center. The building has 104 floors and stands at 1,776 feet tall. This building is also the tallest in the United States.

Walking up this building all you see is a lot of windows that give the building a beautiful glow in the day. When I got to the entrance of the building and looked up I couldn’t even see the top of the building which scared me a little bit. Once I was inside the building had nice clean white walls. The part that amazed me about this building is how fast the elevators where. Once in the elevator, it took 47 seconds to get to the One World Observatory which was on floor 102. When you get out of the elevator you are in a huge circle room that expands around the top of the building. Once in this room, the fear left my body and I was just amazed at the view this building had and how none of it would be possible without architecture.
