MARITIMEMISSISSIPPI

The Mississippi State University School of Architecture offers an intense, carefully structured, and rich array of studio courses that constitute a solid foundation for architectural practice. While course work is comprehensive in scope, providing students with an awareness of the diversity and complexity of today’s professional world, each studio course has its own important role in developing the unique knowledge and abilities required of architects in a modern world.

The spring fourth year architectural design studio constitutes a capstone project, comprehensive in nature in relation to design, programming, and building systems.

The spring 2014 capstone project, and the production of this pamphlet, is sponsored by funding from the Mississippi Maritime Museum. This document thus acts as both an archive of student work and a catalyst of future development.

cont

ents This pamphlet documents the work of 31 fourth year

architecture students who each independently worked to produce two schematic design proposals and scenarios for a “Mississippi Maritime Museum” to honor the legendary history of shipbuilding in Pascagoula and the various maritime interests on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Both the students and faculty worked closely with the museum’s Board of Directors. Needless to say, students worked under the foundational implication that each of their projects had the potential to influence the future programming and design of the actual museum, in addition to an understanding that the their work would be instrumental to both marketing and fundraising strategies.

The site of the museum is located on Lowry Island in the Pascagoula Riverway.

Studio funding and awards were sponsored by the Mississippi Maritime Museum Board of Directors in Pascagoula.

rs The Mississippi Maritime Museum is governed by a board of directors whom ultimately work together to oversee the development of the museum’s future in terms of funding, artifact collection, and ultimate vision for a beacon of education along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

This board is composed of a total of ten members, whose great differences in life experience and past careers come together to provide a uniquely diverse and guided vision for the museum. The members are listed as follows:

ards The Mississippi Maritime Museum Board of Directors,

accompanied by both local architects and faculty of the Mississippi State University School of Architecture, reviewed each of the students’ work at the end of the spring semester. Through thorough comparison and discussion between the various jurors, three students were chosen to receive awards for excellence in their proficiency of design, particularly for bringing the Board’s grand vision of a “world-class” museum to life in their both imaginative and progressive designs.

Two students, Landon Kennedy and John Taylor Schaffhauser, were jointly chosen to receive the Capstone Award, each receiving a $500 prize for design excellence. Jonathan Greer was also chosen to receive an Honorable Mention Book Award for his dedication to realizing the Board’s ultimate vision.

The following spreads document these three students’ projects, displaying the most compelling images / artifacts produced throughout their design work.

At the beginning of the Spring 2014 semester, all fourth year architecture students had the opportunity to not only meet the Mississippi Maritime Museum Board of Directors, but also discuss with them directly about their vision for a maritime museum in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Thus, the students began their design work directly from information discussed in a constructed “charette” of conversations with the Board of Directors. After spending an entire day discussing the broad vision at hand, students then toured and documented their prospective site along the Pascagoula River. Upon returning to campus, students began their design work right away to finish a schematic proposal of the museum by the end of March. Upon completion of this first iteration, students were then given the opportunity to “re-do” their projects, creating a second design proposal based on ideas and concepts developed during the first designs. At the completion of the semester, students presented both of their projects to the Board of Directors and local architects and faculty.stu
