Project 1

The Structure of Place

Lawrenceville, Georgia As the pictures progress from left to right, the image zooms in to show different levels of detail at different scales.

Pieces of trace paper containing different elements of the map are placed on top of one another to create a single picture with distinct parts.

Project 2

Finding the Essence of Architecture

The images show how analyzi the above building was conce also helps the surveyor to notic Analytical diagrams, like the o important features of the buildi

ing the building through drawings can help me, the surveyor, better understand how eptualized, how the building is generally used and how the building was constructed. It ce key features like repetitive elements or unique aspects of the structure. ones pictured on the previous page, can also help the surveyor better communicate the ing to others.

Project 3

Formal Organization

The drawings display the assembly of the pictured model. Each image highlights a different face of the cube as blocks are applied to create the final form.

The models display an intertwining of two separate systems, centralized and linear. Around the edges of the cube there is an invisible datum defined by an inch of separation between the blocks. On the inside of the cube (featured to the left) are 5 blocks that all direct attention towards the small central cube in the middle of the form.

Project 4

Body, Site, Program, and Structure

The diagram to the left displays how the pavilion is assembled and. The pavilion is designed to allow a light material like cardboard or polypropylene to both maintain structure and allow light and wind through.

The above image contextualizes the structure by showing how the pavilion would appear on the site. The image makes it clear that the pavilion is meant to provide slight shade and privacy outside of a separate building.

The photographs display the various ways the pavilion can be read at different points of view.

When entering and exiting the pavilion, the structure appears to be shaped like a cube, but when viewing the pavilion from the sides it mimics the shape of a seashell or fan.

Transformation

When any action is performed, the clay maintains evidence of each previous transformation.

Arch 1060 Assignment 7

(De)Composition and Dialogue

The diagram simplifies the initial building into it’s two primary shapes, a square and a triangle. In the third diagram I divided the building into it’s key components while keeping these basic shapes in mind. I then used the various sections of the original building and rearranged them in a collage to further emphasize the basic shapes.
