Time is one attribute to this universe that never gets changed or altered. However, the precence of this medisum becomes too obvious sometimes, people stop appreating the greatness of it. Wha if progression of time is visually present to one another? Evolution of time is invisible to the naked eye, however it could be seen with combination of another medium, steam.
Hverir (Hotspring)
Due to the mother nature, There is close to infinite amount of steam produced underground of Iceland. Co-existance of two continental techtonic plates next to each other, this country is gifted with endless active volcanic activity. Century Tower, accomodates this nature attribute, steam, to visually present the evolution of time. Not only so, With the visual effect created by steam, the two towers can be seen from far away and produce self sustainable energy throughout the system.
PERSPECTIVE RENDER
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
As the name of the tower resembles, [Century Tower] the building’s life span is expected to last 100 years. During a century, tower demonstrates gradual functional deviation. The transcontinental fissure progressively shifts apart from each other during time. Tension wire across two towers controls the amount of steam produced from each tower, exhibiting magnificent scenary of time transition.
STEAM VS TIME PROGRESSION:
PRECIPITATION VS RESERVOIR:
Amount of precipitation counter relates to the amount of steam produced at the tip of the pipes.
BRIDGE VIEW
Tip of the pipes are attached to the tension wires across the towers. Tension rotates the screw head and changes amount of steam produced.

One might say that someone is like a oxygen. This usually translates that the one is always present where ever they go. Air is alway there and we know it. Air doesn’t have form or rigidity, but has volume. What if air could be utilized to form a structure? All it needs is a simple algorithm and structure that can contain the air’s form as solid. Enforcing and controlling air is the matter of issue.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT 2:
PHASE 1 PHASE 2
PHASE 3 PHASE 4 PHASE 5
DISCOVERING PATTERN 2:
a. STARTING FROM TRASH:
Random assortment to test form and mass the item can produce.
PHASE 2
b. ABSTRACTING THE FORM:
Form was wrapped with metal mesh to transfer and abstract its pattern.
c. DISCOVERING PATTERN:
Orignal mass was extracted to clearly discover the wrinkles and patterns of the form abstraction process.
VARIOUS INTERACTIONS
CREATING THE VOID 2: PHASE 4
Structures and patterns analyzed from phase 1 to 3 were utilized to form a harmonious structure. Paper was wrapped around the phase 2 model and the patterns were transparantly reflected on the skin by accomodating glue and folds. From that the design of the whole starts to get abstracted and smoother in general.

STRUCTURE ANALYSIS DRAWING
a. TRACING THE FOLD:
Plan drawing of phase 4 was laid down to replicate its structure for phase 5 model.
b. CREATING BASE STRUCTURE:
Double sided tape was placed along the traced lines to act as a placeholder for the individual folds.
c. UTILIZING WRINKLES:
Double sided tapes were created into folds, forming a base structure for the skin.

d. ENFORCING THE STRUCTURE: Hair iron was used to weld the tape and the plastic structure, enforcing the folds on the skin of the model.
e. ATTACHING
VALVE: Edge of the skin were welded with an air valve to create the final form of the model.
TARDY CHAPEL
3:
Not everyone can attend chapel service Sunday mornings. People work at different times of the day. Why should prayers only be made under the bright light? Pray under the silent night sky to make your prayers be heard loud to God.
Ambiance and quietness blends in with the darkness, suggesting perfect space for those with sincere and genuine prayer.
Chapel for people who shall be late in the day of their schedule.
BEHAVIORS OF THE LIGHT 3:
LIGHT MACHINE
Studied all the properties of light into one machine. Light machine is made with the intentioin to experiment all features of light in darkness. Those may include, Transparancy, Reflection, Defraction, Distortion, and Shadow. Light penetrates through the peak hole on the top and in to the darkness. Then the machine starts to operate. Carousel of light.

WHEN IT BECOMES DARK 3:
SITE, LIGHT STUDY
CHAPEL, ROOFTOP VIEW
Series of models were made in order to replicate the effects of the light machine. Model suggests some of the visual effects that the chapel produces to the site and design experience. Extended look of the design reflects back to the site study. Suggesting a design with a pathway combined with the chapel it self for better circulatory approach.

CHAPEL, ABSTRACT MODEL PERSPECTIVE VIEW
Noise pollution is one of the biggest stress factors in modern era. The issue exacerbates as one goes closer to the urban area. St. Louis is notorious for its random and aggressive placements of highways. In fact, highways are one of the biggest factor that produces noise pollution.These loud beasts screams out noises 24/7 to the near residential areas. Goal of this project is to reflect those noises back to the highway and provide tranquility around those noisy beasts.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Pleiospolos Nelii, was studied exclusively to plan out the fully sustainable ecosystem for the community center / greenary. This plant is a succulant plant which, doesn’t require significant amount of water, however it only strives under a strong light source. Plants in general are also proven to be effective for reducing noise from the surrounding environment.

sustainable planter was designed inorder to provide the ecosystem for the plant. Angled Reflective panels, Seed evaporation control were applied in order to unique planter. By the effects that the planter witholds, to thrive during its life span and reproduce at ease.
PHASE 3
This community center / greenary reflects the noise back to the highway effectively by utilizing the different angles. Each modules on the surface not only reduces noise, but also provides full sustainability to the building and filters polluted air from the highway to the residential area.
GLAMOUR SHOT
CONCEPT PROPOSAL
SYSTEM
Noise reflects back to the highway by reflecting back through the soundproofing surfaces on the modular planter. Sunlight is reflects and penetrates into the building for enhanced lighting conditions.
Air circulation is uninterrupted due to vacant tunnel located at the bottom of the modular planter.
FURNITURE WORK
Rocking chair was designed and crafted in the woodshop to research the correspondence between ergonomics and weight distribution. Center of the mass of the chair is structurally aligned with human body to perform a stable rocking gesture. The specific chair was also designed with consideration of saving material. The final product was made with 2 5ft x 5ft x .5in plywood and 10ft of 1in diameter rod.
STRUCTURE RESEARCH
Research started out as choosing a building of interest, Marche by Kengo Kuma. Then, by utilizing multiple sources and base understandings of architecture, technical drawings, 3d structure section model, and functional diagrams were delivered. Multiple revisions and debates were made in order to hypothesize the details, which are insufficient in research data.
