Project Description

The Appalachian State Senior Architectural Studio has taken on a design/build project for a mobile performance stage for Valle Crucis Community Park in North Carolina. The stage is being constructed in honor of H.W. Mast, who was a pinnacle to the community of Valle Crucis. The first step in the process was for each of the sixteen students in our class to conduct research on mobile performance stages and the area of Valle Crucis in order to gain perspective of what the project entails, as well as what appearance the final design should take on. After strenuous days and nights, each student presented an individual idea to a select few members of the park board. The members of the board then participated in a discussion with our class and Professor Chad Everhart, AIA. Look for more on the next post...
