The Capavillion project was a four-week experiment with small-scale urban design within the confines of Ball State's campus.

The site for the project would be located on the McKinley side of the Architecture and Urban Planning building. Functionally, this small building would serve to illustrate design works within the architecture discipline, thus stimulating interest in the architecture programs and promoting campus life as well.

As a small-scale project, I believed that the essence of this particular building lies in the manipulation of one or two main design concepts. An inverted curve, carefully detailed with glass, provides clear views into the building and serves to attract pedestrian traffic. To further stimulate campus interest, I projected two walls vertically higher than the rest of the building (for better visual reference) and attached two curved mechanical screens, that served as an information kiosk. The building would be fleshed in Indiana limestone and brick to create a harmonious relationship with the rest of the campus.
