Rendering Day - BGSU - February 19th
Are the students struggling to make the materials look visually correct?
Are they ready to throw the computer out the window due to technical difficulties?
Are they looking for help putting their visions in the program?
WELCOME TO ARCHITECTURE!
Bowling Green State University architecture students are willing to give up some of their time from their busy studies to help your students.
BGSU is hosting the annual Rendering Day to help the students to perfect their designs before the final deadline. Remember scholarships are up for grabs for the winners. Students should bring flash drives, tablets, laptops, prints, images or even just a sketch pad to learn techniques and tricks of the trade.
When:
Friday, February 19th from 12:00-2:00
Where:
Park Avenue Warehouse Building, Park Avenue, Bowling Green, OH 43403.
NOTE: This is NOT the same building as last year. The architecture department has moved into a new facility!
Parking:
One-day parking permits will be available upon arrival. Buses will need to park off-site. Instructions will be given upon arrival.
Please contact the HSDC committee via email if you plan on attending with your student count and mode of transportation by Friday February 12th so plans can be made accordingly.
See you there and looking forward to seeing a sneak peek at the visions for the Aquatic Center!

Example Toilet Room
Updated toilet room plans have been posted for the 2012 competition. The previously posted toilet room plans only had two toilets (or one urinal and one toilet); the current toilet room plans have three toilets (or two toilets and one urinal).

Toilet Room Plan (DXF format)
These toilet room plans are to be used as an example or starting point for toilet room design; if you wish to enhance them with any design features feel free to do so. Students are not required to use these exact toilet design if they have another design that responds to their design better (and maintains functionality & accessibility).

Project-Specific Resources
The following resources can be used as inspiration and examples of design possibilities:
- Clock tower ideas: this website shows some examples of a company that makes clock towers. Please note that the designs shown on this website tend to be smaller than the 85-foot tall tower the program requires.
- Decorative paving: Here are three examples of decorative paving to give students a better idea of what is possible:
