The floor plan is where the function and organization of space is decided. After redefining the assigned program into something more specific, I came up with the following plans and sections. These plans only show the main building. In it, I will include:
-Small rooms for afterschool music lessons
-large versatile areas for art exhibition, performance or private functions
-Administration and building support spaces
-a very large storage/workroom in the basement for exhibit storage and art/sculpture/pottery classes
-kitchen to serve private functions

Farther up the hill from this main building I will include a manicured garden and pergola that surrounds a stone courtyard. This outdoor space will serve weddings and private functions year round. The California weather allows for year round outdoor use. I had originally included a large outdoor amphitheatre (all three shown in the image below). I wanted to have a space that could be used for medium to large scale music festivals in addition to the Healdsburg music festival (which has since been moved away from Healdsburg because it has grown so large).

Also, I organized the site as follows. The grayscale image is meant to overlay the bubble diagram.

What do you think?
Have I organized my spaces in the most functional manner?
Have I created a program and series of structures that will be useful year round?
What do you think I should name this place?
Name it Alagaesia.
