A

simple house has walls, a roof and a floor built to serve users. That is what architecture means for most people. However, what does it mean for me to be an architect? I believe architecture can assist people to achieve happiness in their lives, creating the image of a peaceful, awakened and strong society with a substantial economy and landmarks.

By design, architects can make people love their cities and houses.

2

Also, architecture can express any culture by showing the identity of the place. architecture has always been an art and a science.

As such, I will pursue the art and experiment with science, determining the success and failures, opportunities and shortcomings of what the future of architecture holds, at least achieving a better architecture for all.

Exceptional Volume In reconsidering the contemporary mid-rise, the 2GA studio will focus on the architectural issues of sequence and entry, development of spatially descriptive spaces, interlocking volumes, exploited geometry, and creation of atmosphere and effect.

Pennzoil Place,Philip Johnson The main volumetric space inside the Pennzoil Place is the glass enclosed courtyard which connects two offi ce buildings. at time of its completion Pennzoil Place had a signifi cant impacton breaking the cube-like modernist architecture archetype.In our transformation, the interpreted volumes were used as a device to further break the cube-like archetype, now also in plan and elevation. By keeping our moves simple we aimed to maintain the clarity of the precedent.

Big Dumb Building CAPTIVE CITIES The 2GB Studio shifts its attention towards the study of the relationship of architecture to urbanism and, more specifically, of the architectural artifact as urbanism.

The studio project is for a very large mixed use complex in the Lincoln Heights area of Los Angeles, adjacent to the Los Angeles River, and is to be conceived in relation to the current plans for the river’s transformation. The studio’s main focus is on disciplinary questions of the relationships amongst typology, function, and form in urbanism

Contemporary cities are complex organisms that defy any easy analysis or singular characterization. In the past hundred years cities have grown to dwarf the scale of historic human settlements, stretching to the limits of comprehension. Nonetheless there remains the physical fact of cities. They are composed not only of flows of capital, information, peoples, and resources, but also of the inert mass of streets, buildings, and infrastructure

Folding Octahedra The course is an introduction to the forms, methods, conventions and approaches to architectural drawing and representation.

Beginning from the basics of orthographic projection, the course will sequentially examine the section and cut drawings; oblique and axonometric projection; and various types of curvature, from simple to complex, in both two and three dimensions.

Grid A simple fold can be understood as a single infinitely thin plane that changes planar orientation along a straight crease.

A thin sheet of paper can abstractly represent this plan and easily diagram the geometric transformation. However, when considering that plane as a material object with thickness,

the folding operation becomes considerably more complicated.

Working through thickness requires a series of design decisions and negotiations that simple abstract geometric models do not.

Miters, dovetails and insets articulate the joint tactics for these negotiations.

Techniques of Representation 2 The course is an introduction to the forms, methods, conventions and approaches to architectural drawing and representation. The program focuses on developing the precision of intentions

in the production of architectural drawings and instilling a critical sensitivity for the inherent bias and interface of each deployed medium of representation.

2. GLASS UNITIZED SYSTEMS

Unitised glazing is essentially a method of using prefabricated panels which are fixed together on site to form a complete glazed wall. Like stick glazing, unitised glazing uses aluminium framing to support the glazing, but where stick glazing is secured to a continuous supporting frame, all of which is fixed on site, unitised glazing is put together in the factory. Panels are delivered to site and lifted into place and set next to one another, the gaps between each panel being sealed with synthetic rubber gaskets. These gaskets interlock from panel to panel vertically, but typically are separated at each floor level with a continuous horizontal gasket that follows the horizontal joint between panels.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete or GFRC is a type of fiber-reinforced concrete. Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. Somewhat similar materials are fiber cement siding and cement boards. Glass fiber-reinforced concrete consists of high-strength, alkali-resistant glass fiber embedded in a concrete matrix. In this form, both fibers and matrix retain their physical and chemical identities, while offering a synergistic combination of properties that cannot be achieved with either of the components acting alone. In general, fibers are the principal load-carrying members, while the surrounding matrix keeps them in the desired locations and orientation, acting as a load transfer medium between the fibers and protecting them from environmental damage. The fibers provide reinforcement for the matrix and other useful functions in fiber-reinforced composite materials. Glass fibers can be incorporated into a matrix either in continuous or discontinuous (chopped) lengths.

1. GLASS STICK SYSTEMS

Design Development Integrated Design Project AS3122 Spring 2017

This material system is essentially a site-based method of forming glazed walls, with mullions (vertical framing members) and transoms (horizontal framing members) prepared in the factory with the slots and holes required for assembly and installation on site. Stick systems are suitable for glazed walls with either a wide variety of conditions or complex geometry which makes the use of prefabricated glazed panels uneconomic. This method also has the advantage of permitting a discontinuity of mullion and transom to give an ungridded appearance, while maintaining the internally drained and ventilated principles of the system, an essential aspect of this form of glazed wall.

Version

Version Date

The method of casting in-situ walls described in the previous section is one of forming loadbearing construction. With precast panels, walls can be formed as either loadbearing walls or as cladding panels to a structural frame. Loadbearing types have storey height panels ‘stitched’ together to be come integral with the floor slabs. Junctions are usually pin jointed, with structural stability provided by other components such as service cores elsewhere in the building. Precast panels may have a decorative finish on one side, with thermal insulation set within the panel, or may be used as a backing wall to another facade system such as a rainscreen set forward of the panel, where thermal insulation is set on the outer face of the precast panel.

4. PRECAST CONCRETE PANELS

Scale NTS

PROJECT SYSTEM APPLICATION In general the structure is composed of both load-bearing and seismic systems. The load-bearing system, in the form of trusses, columns and beams, supports the elevated platforms containing program spaces. The seismic structure, extruded steel and tapered beams are arranged in lattice-like geometry, connects platform to platform.

SHINGLED GLASS WALL: The predominant mullion system is composed of a regularized module of non-standard glass panel shapes. Since it is directly supported on steel, this particular system incorporates a thinner overall mullion depth, and tapered structure to reduce visibility of the facade structure. The mullion system’s multiple components are attached using a screw-within-a-screw attachment allowing for sequenced installation of each component.

Typically, concrete shear walls comprise the cores of a building and are cast in place. Here the lateral resistance comes froma plane instead of a frame.

CON: Shear walls give strength to the envelope of a structure that allows

The truss system will be implemented with light weight steel framing to acommodate its properties as a long span superstructure system. The core above is a braced frame system also composed of light weight steel to reduce load on the truss below. All other cores are concrete shear walls to provide vertical load-bearing capacity and lateral stability.

Beauty and Architecture Looking at the work of Palladio and Les Corbusier, it can be argued that A good example can be seen in Les Corbusier’s Garches and the art has a very essential role to play when it comes to architecture. Over

Villa Suvoye where a lot of art has been borrowed from the Greek

the years, it can be argued that architects have had to stop dealing with

Acropolis. The aesthetic theory is connected with historicism in

the elements of the structure alone such as strength and the like. Focus has changed to more aesthetic value of the works of various architects.

Johnson’s glass house is one of the leading examples of an aesthetic structure that has been built in the recent times.In thing that becomes clear is that art is what ads to the beauty of a structure.

that most of the architects such as Philip Johnson have had to draw a lot of inspiration from the other people who had written or drawn similar structures prior to his own. An architect has to therefore ensure that he or she has combined both the architectural theory and the aesthetic theory in order to have structures that are both beautiful and functional

Modern Architecture Modern architecture is a very interesting concept to consider. It obtained a wide variety of interpretations and explanations. It was often considered through the perspective of historicism, eclecticism, significant number of styles and the history. As a matter of fact, under the term “modern architecture” people usually meant specific epoch, certain ideology, pedagogy, historically-determined canon, style, anti-style, etc. Regardless of various approaches towards understanding the concept of modern architecture, the real explanation can be found in the peculiar characteristics of it that may be seen on real objects. In fact, the very sense of any architectural building is to meet the need to house a human institution (Collins 1998, p. 67). On top of that, the basic arrangement of any architectural work reflects the way that the human institution being contained including its daily business and affairs. Nevertheless, each period imposed its own rules and architects had to choose between different sets of options. By this I mean certain political and social changes that might have brought about new demands towards architecture. David Oakley in his work entitled “The Phenomenon of Architecture in Culture in Change” claimed that there are many factors that determine the basic form of architectural work. These include the following ones: the nature of the human institution, the kind of knowledge and skill that is available, design team, capital including finance, labor, material, craft, industrial skill and organization. At the same time David Oakley said that the most influential force is “changing concepts in man’s vision of this world, as expressed through scientific advances and the changing character of the exploratory work of painters and sculptors” (Oakley 2014, p. 112). Surely, the advances in technology also affected the way buildings looked like in different periods of time. The multitude of new tools presented by twenty-first century inspired architects to create new concepts and overcome the challenges set by the new world. However, it is important to mention that whereas some projects are extravagant and unique; many outstanding ideas have high chances of changing the world of architecture as well as the way we live and communicate with the world around. All in all, modern architecture cannot be defined as sequential or in any other way that can be measured. Modern architecture is indeed connected with classical architecture because it gained the firm foundation for every unique idea (Colquhoun 2002, p. 213).
