Arts and Design Center Fourth Year Topic Studio - Dirt is in the Details | Claudia Wainer | Fall 2023 This topic studio focused on the materiality and imperfections of clay and how it can be used in architecture. The Arts and Design Center, proposed by Kaitlyn Lumel and Nataly Hakopian, is located in Frogtown, Los Angeles and is derived from two concepts that are blended into one idea of celebrating curves and the natural state of clay. From the ground level there is a slope introduced that leads to the subterranean level, offering an intimate courtyard and a look into the inside of the sculpture garden. The ground level is composed of catwalks to navigate from one side of the site to the other and can serve as a through condition. These catwalks bridge over the subterranean floor and a bridge on the second-floor crosses over the ground floor. These offer opportunities to look down into the subterranean level and explore the different programs. The main part of the sculpture garden is on the ground level and encourages circulation around openings where one can look down to view the sculptures. The programs are sorted with private spaces such as the residential on one side of the site and other public spaces on the other side. The interior of the spaces explores thickness in poche as evident in sections where one can see shelving for storage in shared studios or for art in the gallery. The shapes of the buildings explore the natural curves of clay through rounded corners and soft openings.
