costal mutant COSTAL MUTANTS//SPATIAL INTERLOCK mutant: permanent harmful or helpful alteraton condition: free standing, elevated territory: Gulf Coast, Texas program: house + studio
40
This project is a house and studio for a painter named Hunnington Jenewein from Vienna, Austria. The main aspect that shaped the parti sketches where Hunnington’s unique form of transportation: a hot air balloon. There as an inherent need to achieve height (to launch and land on the structure) without turning the project into a tower. Through this, the objective of a mutant was investigaed spatially: mutating single volumes into double volumes. The main goal is to inspire the sensation one would feel when entering a double volume from a single volume with the explosion of space. Then, as one would ascend to the second floor of the double volume, move through the single volume space to arrive at the bottom floor of another double volume. This is then repeated and mutated to achieve the neccesary height for the hot _ air balloon.
_ we define architecctural mutants as harmful or helpful but permannent alterations of an original type. Basic geometres will be modified as a continuous process of mutation. While shape, apperance and spatial qualitites will change, the original type has to stay the same. Different models of the same type will be created.

URBAN PARASITES//FORMAL INTERACTION parasite: not-mutual relationship to the host condition: attach, cantilever, interact territory: Dallas, Tx program: pavilion

_
We define architectual parasites as additive objects attached to host structures that couldn’t survive without benefiting from the host.
_
The parasite represents a type clearly different to the host strcture it is attahed to. Host and parasite need to interact formally and functionally.

urban parasite
The parasite structure presented interacts with the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Tx in a way that highlights the symbiotic relationship between ordered vs organic. When attached to the host structure the parasite enhances rather that impairs the overall beauty and function of the existing structure. the inherent rigidnss of the theatre in contrast to the organic form of the parasite offers an aesthetic ballance that both structures lack independent of each other. The parasite in coordination with some structural revisions allows patrons to access a terrace from which that can enjoy the a rooftop drink and a view of the downtown skyline.

The parasite by nature is an entity that attaches itself to a hos inorder to survive . In an analogous manner, a parasite in the context of architecture is a structure that formally and functionally interacts with a host structure but is clearly distinct in it’s typological origin. The Bone is an additave parasitic pavilion that grapples onto the exsiting structure, and by doing so, vertical circulation allows access to the rooftop patio.

alpine hybrid
condition: excavate, merge territory: the Alps, Austria program: shared site with two clients, house + studio
The occident village vision project combines three artists on the same site while having three independent structures that join at a central courtyard. Shear winds into the side of the mounton from the north side of the courtyard.. The plan was dirived from the curvature of the topography and lines in tension that creates a unique undulating plan that is able to a enclose a west facing exterior space providing for ideal vistas. The elevation and he use of clerestory-esque windows were dirived from the overwhelming need to bring in diffused light to protect the paintings all over the western facing house. 56

ALPINE HYBRIDS//ADAPTIVE TOPOGRAPHIES hybrid: combination of two or more types
N The basi character of hybrid asks for the combination of at least two different types. These two tyypes will be building and landscape that will be merged together to form a greater whole consisting of the idea of common ground around and within the building
