COMPOSITE OBJECT MODELS

This studio focused on introducing principles of design through an iterative and recursive process of making.

With a series of abstract exercises, the studio created formal, spatial, and material relations by producing a physical object derived from casting negative and positive records of familiar objects.

Further developed as a Manhattan play space, issues of the site as it relates to the program and relationships between interior and exterior spaces were also brought into consideration.

THRESHOLD SECTION DRAWING

Through drawing analyses, a “threshold object” was proposed that speculates on possible transformations (experiential/ physical/geometric) between specific spaces.

Resulting from the hybridization of different types of thresholds, the full transitional threshold has distinct architectural and geometric characteristics depicted through a series of drawings and 3D models.

COURTYARD

COMBINED MASSING AND CHUNK MODEL

Situated in Red Hook, Brooklyn, this proposal for a maritime middle school incorporates multiple courtyards with interlocking spaces that combine and decombine through movable partition walls and inside-outside relations. Begun from an investigation of private and public spaces through a grid of sine waves, this project evolved into a multi-faceted school that respects the need for both shared and individual learning.

CORNER RENDER

An exercise on spatial perception, Resolution explores the articulation of spaces through interiorities. This is expressed through the gradiations of the curvilinear language and various depth levels to the pixelation of the interior’s surfaces.
