New NOONAN

Location : Pier 70, San Francisco, California

Professor Craig Scott, Ryan Golenberg

The NEW NOONAN building serves to house artist studios, galleries, and street art exhibition. The building acts as a frame, with a core connecting the programs to each other and the bay views. The core gives an immersive experience of street art for the visitors in the heart of building.

The project takes a dive in analyzing street artist’s artworks, finding moments and elements that would be the drivers in creating an architectural language. The act of offsetting, shearing, and bordering defines the intersection of spaces and how programs are assigned to the specific views of the bay.

Desert House

Diagrams

The Desert House explores the spatial relationship beginning from a simple movement of overlapping two squares. The squares are patterned based on the topographical lines of the site in order to create the initial figure ground. The lines shapes the connection and separation between programs, creating a clear pathway in both indoor and semi-outdoor spaces. The tatami table inside the house extends itself outside of the house, serving as balcony and a roof to the stairs leading to Ground Floor.
