Barren Landscape

100A P1 / Monolithic Transformations

With a dream-like environment, the limitations to exploration are far removed. How does one explore this space? With no fear of falling? With the ability to y wherever one pleases?

Mortal Explosion

Diseased Separations

Monolithic Shifting

Proliferative Resurgence

Formal Phagocytosis

Tectonic Darwinism

A ght to the death. It begins with complexity, a coexistence of large and small. As time goes on, transformations take place as much as the most t survive, the large endure and engulf the small in an ever ongoing battle to persist.

100A P3 / Oakland Community Center

Located in an under-served neighborhood deep within the heart of Oakland, this center serves to provide essential services for residents. It functions as a library and community center where events can be held by members of the community. It also contains an art gallery displaying and selling works by local artists.

Visibility Dictates Design

e Community Center’s form arose from a site analysis (le ) of visibility.

e dotted lines represent arbitrary positions along the roads, imagine if one was looking towards the site. e line of sight is then met with a perpendicular yellow line,

Bastion of Oakland/ Lecture Hall

e lecture hall serves as a exible space for community meetings, lectures, and gatherings. Accordion doors open to a plaza where events can be held as well.

100B P1 / “Familial Tectonics”

e analytical diagram shows the relationships between the levels and the basis for their design originating with a square and a cut. Sejima named the o ce building Shibaura House because it is meant to bridge the gap between work and family.

Site Plan and Sections

100B P1 / Precedent / Shibaura House

Shibaura House is a company o ce building located in Shibaura, Minato-chu, Tokyo. It was designed by Kazuyo Sejima, renowned architect and founder of Sanaa studios.

100B P2 / San Francisco Urban Institute

Metropolitan Pastorale - How do we escape the ills of the urban environment? e cold, wide streets. e lines of automobiles. e droning noise of the city. e fence distorts the streetscape by transforming its appearance from the inside. It creates a new urban environment.

Various locations of view restriction and distortion are employed in the building’s facade. From the inside, waved frosted glass distorts the outside environment. On the outdoor walkways, opaque glass is used at eye-level to block a direct view of the street. In essence the urban environment is being hidden away from the occupant.

100C P1 / Roden Crater Analysis

Roden Crater - James Turrell’s multi-decade project is examined in this project. By translating spatial arrangements into binaries, it attens to follow representations of the cosmos, constellations. en, the ground around it must warp in response to the attening. It is playful and manipulative.

100C P2 / Conceptual Model

An essential element of Roden Crater is the framing of views. Adopted into the conceptual model, the model per se is an apparatus to view the world rather than representative of an architectural object.

e viewing “lens” is moveable and insertable into di erent slots, providing di erent distorted views of the world.

100C P3 / Situational Models

A continuation of the conceptual model, interacitivty is the center of this project. Given a single condition, a room with a light source, how are objects placed and conform to this space?

e space is not yet de ned until an object of use is placed into it.

100C P4 / Earthwork Dwelling

Subscription and Identity - spaces are de ned by the objects placed within them. When objects are removed entirely, what does the space become and how is it used?

Unde ned spaces create opportunities for the inhabitant, whether human or not, to improvise living based on core desires outside the in uence of society.

Site strategy consists of identifying an area of transformation in which axes are manipulated. e diagram (top le ) indicates the operation of taking existing axes and tying them together within the transformation box.

e clear lack of labeling is intentional - the purposeful ambiguity of spaces furthers the idea that it is a structure that is unknown, similar to the way historians approach and uncover an archaeological excavation site.
