the PROCESS

Social clubs began in England in the 1800’s. On a recent trip to the UK, I noticed how almost every public park had a large bowling green. This inspired me to put a large, open green space in the center of my social club as a tribute to the history of the clubs themselves. The concept derived from words that are representative of oysters: luxury, opportunity, security, value, communal, etc. This project was rendered using AutoCAD, SketchUp, Kerkythea, and Photoshop.
