THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND ITS CONTAINER IS NOT SIMPLY ONE OF CONTAINING AND BEING CONTAINED. THE OBJECT TRAVELS THROUGH THE NORMATIVE BOUNDARY, PULLING AND PUSHING ITS GEOMETRY WITH ITS FOLLOWING QUALITIES: ITS ONE DIRECTIONAL MOTION ITS SINGULAR VERTICALITY AT THE MOUTHPIECE ITS OVERALL HORIZONTALITY OF ITS SEAM ITS DUALITY OF A TOP AND A BOTTOM PIECE THE RESULT IS A CONTAINER GEOMETRICALLY UNQIUE AND SPECIFIC TO ITS OBJECT

THE MODULE IS AGGREGATED IN A NESTING MANNER GENERATED BY GRAVITATIONAL PULL. REDEFINING TOP/BOTTOM AND INSIDE/OUT RESULTS IN THE ARCHITECTURAL CONSEQUENCE OF EXTERIOR/INTERIOR POLARITY. THE EXTERIOR ACTS AS AN INTERLOCKED SURFACE CONDITION WHILE THE INTERIOR SPACE BECOMES PERFORATED

MANITOGA GA L L E R Y

INSTRUCTOR: ANDREW SAUNDERS ARCH 501 PENNDESIGN M ARCH YR 1 MODEL: 3D PRINT

A four-square parti is created and subtracted from to create threshold to the manitoga site, framing the water and Russel Wright House, openning up courtyard and platform space for viewing.

The manifold wraps around the aggregation tightly at times to reveal original geometry, and loosely in other moments, creating new normative connections between the pre-existing nodes of the tetrahedron.

RUSSEL WRIGHT GALLERY / LIFT

Polarity between surface condition and perforated space is brought over from the pavillion to the gallery. The specific experience of the pavillion is achieved through a manifold infill into the negative space between the modules.

THE DIAGRAM MAPS OUT EACH CROSSROADS AS PLATFORMS AND AMPLIFIED THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCES. THE CROSSROADS ARE CONNECTED TO CREATE THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACES, AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE VOLUMETRIC NATURE OF THE SITE. THIS IDEA OF A SPACE WITHOUT A SINGLE CONTINUOUS GROUND CARRIES ON IN THE FORMAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIBRARY.

ON THE EXTERIOR FACADE, THE LEVEL OF POROSITY REFLECTS IN THE PROGRAMMATIC NATURE OF THE INTERIOR SPACES, DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF NATURAL DAYLIGHTING. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROGRAMMATIC SPACES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN SECTORS SEPARATED BY A CENTRAL PUBLIC ATRIUM.

UNFOLDED FACADE

TABARCA IS AN ISLAND HIGHLY SATURATED WITH SOUND. IT IS FILLED WITH TENSION AND EMOTION, SUBMERGED IN PURE AND CONCENTRATED SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN, WIND, AND CIVILIZATION.

THE ISLAND IS IN NEED OF A CERTAIN RESOLUTION. IT MUST BE IMPOSED BY A MOMENT OF COMPLETE SILENCE TO REACH EQUILIBRIUM.

AUDIBLE SILENCE \

OLD MEETS NEW : INTERVENTION PROJECT UC BERKELEY SUMMER STUDIO IN SPAIN 2014 INSTRUCTOR: ALEJANDRO SALAZAR JASBON

\

THE EXTRUDED STRIATIONS ACT AS SOUND ABSORPTION SURFACES WHICH CREATE A SPACE OF QUIET AND PEACE, DIFFERENTIATED FROM THE REST OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE ISLAND. STRIATED PATTERNS ARE DERIVED FROM THE GEOMETRIC LANGUAGE OF THE BEACH ROCKS NATIVE TO THE TABARCA ISLAND TO ACT HARMONIOUSLY WITH THE EXISTING SITE. THE SAME ELEMENT IS THEN UTILIZED IN DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL MANIFESTATIONS: AS SURFACE CONDITION, SEATING, PARTITION, AND PLATFORMS.
