The goal of the diagram is toconnect the fundmental project of the Underline to the building and provide smooth transition from it to the mall. The multi-use building is set as the social heart of the neighborhod by allowing all the pedesrain traffic to meet at the center of it. Its boundry is set by the surrounding developments - the mall , residential complex, and the Underline. The diagram also demonstrates how spaces within the building are spatially connected and promotes social interaction.

REQUIRED PROPOSAL Designing a complex building with common social areas.

SOFTWARES

Autocad | Rhino | Illustrator | Lumion | Photoshop

The urban design of Savannah, Georgia suggests a unique contrasting relationship between private and public spaces.On site, the major conflict is between large-scale elements and smaller elements. The main design strategy addresses and solves this conflict by designing a building with variable heights, scaling gradually up to where it blends with the larger surrounding elements. In addition, since the world is transforming into a world where people favor communal life over solitude, then architecture should adapt to those needs and create spaces in which relationships can arise. When analyzing the conditions in which the carriage house and the multi-family building intersect, I found the garden as common grounds. Therefore, in my design,the residential building and the carriage house has a mutual interactive courtyard area that serves as the main social space that connects and ties both spaces together. Moreover, the rooftop garden serves as an additional gathering area that not only promotes socializing but also allows the patrons to experience the architectural space from a different perspective. Lastly, the design has large floor to ceiling glazes that allow the residents to experience the outside, almost entirely. Its corridors defined by wood screens that also provides a sustainable solution to the functionality of the building, since it doesn’t require a large cooling system. In conclusion, the design’s goals in this project are to overcome the conflicts of where small and large elements connects, promote social living and provide a sustainable solution for multifamily housing in the neighborhood.

PARASITE DECO ART PAVILIONS

MIAMI BEAHCH, FLORIDA

REQUIRED PROPOSAL

Creating pedestrian engagement oppurtinities in the back alleys of Miami Beach through art paviilions installation.

SOFTWARES

Rhino | Grsshopper | Python | Illustrator | Lumion | Photoshop

South Beach Miami is one of the most popular destination for tourists and art lovers around the world. It offers beautiful beaches,restaurants, hotels, extensive night life , unique architectural experience of the art deco, and art exhibitions ( like Art Basel). The goal of the 12 Parasite Deco Pavilions is to give visitors a new experience in which they can enjoy and connect with the unique atmosphere of South Beach. And this is all being set next to the most popular two main roads, Ocean Drive and Collins Ave. The 12 pavilions are generated and suppurated by a tensional system, that was developed in order to keep them suspended from the ground and allow free movement of transportation beneath. The tensional systemis an inspiration from the spider web pavilion in abandoned building in Berlin and Zaha Hadid’s public art installation at the Moore building in the Miami Design District. . The structure is made of transparent webs wrapped around steel members. Through the transparent webs light is projected at night.
