CODA is a culture house in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn that houses a public library, archive, and museum. I think Herman was going for a simple design on the outside with a lot of glass so he could show off what was inside. The inside is the main attraction and letting people see from the outside to draw them in is a great way to advertise.

Ryan Hernandez – Blog 7 – Herman Hertzberger – TivoliVredenburg
This music venue is the one that replace the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg mentioned in the last blog. It opened in 2014 and has 5 music halls designed acoustically for a specific music genre. Along with its hall, the venue also features an “amateur stage” and a cafe. I chose the hall pictured above because I had not really seen a stage that is completely surrounded by audience before and I bet going in there during a performance would give you a very different experience compared to a traditional stage.
Ryan Hernandez – Blog 6 – Herman Hertzberger – Muziekcentrum Vredenburg
The Muziekcentrum Vredenburg was a music venue in Utrecht, Netherlands that opened in 1975 and held 5,000 people. The venue was used by many famous artists over multiple different genres. It was demolished in 2008 to build a bigger venue in the same location. The main hall of this building was incorporated into the new venue. I think this was the right move because they definitely needed a new venue but were able to keep the rich history of the old venue still alive.
Ryan Hernandez -Blog 5 – Herman Hertzberger – Centraal Beheer
Built in 1967, however this building is no longer open. I chose it because it does not look like your typical office building. Usually offices are just cube buildings/skyscrapers but this one is cool because it is a bunch of cubes stacked against and on top of each other. Gives people working there a change of pace from a typical office building.
Ryan Hernandez – Blog 4 – Walker Tower
Living here freshman year was an interesting time. My roommate and I knew each other from high school so thankfully we got along fine. Although the dorms themselves are pretty bad to live in, we had a good time and made a lot of memories. The best thing about the dorms was the meal plan and the worst thing was the size of the rooms for two people.

Ryan Hernandez – Blog 2 – Price College of Business
Being an MIS major most of my classes are in the Price College of Business. It’s a love/hate relationship with this building just because school is school. Overall, I haven’t really had a bad time in this building. I am also thankful that I am earning an education and this building plays a large part in that.

The Chesapeake Energy Arena, the home of the Thunder, is a building I have been going to for the last 7 years to games. Once they finished construction on the side that is pictured, it made the building look a lot better. And I can’t wait to see the arena once the surrounding area is complete from construction.
My dad has season tickets so we always go to the games together. Overall, it is just a great experience to bond with my dad and we always have a good time despite the outcome of the game.
