This Greenhouse, located in frogtown exists as a conservatory, exhibition space, and research center.. The focus of this project was to really underastand the how structure and tectonics behave and influence program.
The project scales sensitivity and uses specific structural systems to contain and divide certain program. The work that occurs then either eleveates or relegates spaces. Less sensitive program such as the greenhouse rises to the top
where the pourous structure and plants occupy the space. Nested below are the herbarium, seed vault, and research space, which are more sensitive to activity and light.
Developed from studying the relationship of musical notation to sound, the project inspects 2d relationships of form to space. The program was derived from notions we had extrapolated from other parts of campus that we wanted to exploit such as the role of the flag room in the MSC building. The building was to become a hybrid music school and communal environment
to promote gathering and flexibility to garner a greater audience from around the campus. The design process was a direct reflection of the larger site and the density of human procession. In order to accommodate these ideas, we had to design the building in a way that would be perceived differently on each end of the building as well as represented cohesively. The project makes
use of a site that welcomes live music, auditorium performances, study rooms, rehearsal rooms, gathering areas and administrative spaces.The project is designed to encourage the students on campus to engage with an environment that combines the use of music as a public entity and a private one.
This building aims to showcase capabilities of modern 3d printing con-struction while simultaneously facilitating open space within its bounds by means of linear organization. An e ort was made to take influence from the site and regional style of college
station while also embracing cutting-edge construction approaches enabled by 3D printing technology. In this regard, the building represents a crossroads of technology and practice. To a lesser extent, form of the structure is governed by passive cooling
strategies. In-corporation of a variety of material types including concrete, steel, and timber provide flexibility in construction techniques as well as variety in textures used in the building.
SERLIO’S CODE
One of Serlio’s major contributions to architectural discourse is his canonization and documentation of the classical orders. These classical elements are exhibited and analyzed as fragments in his early volumes, then subsequently deployed in larger building configurations.
MEREOLOGY OF PARTS
This mereology of Serlian porticos and the three-dimensionalization of profiles produces a new generation of type. These new relationships of part-to-part and part-to-whole expand the idea of what is typical of a portico as each recognizable element becomes disjointed and estranged from its original qualities through the processes of AI fragmentation and reassembly.
PORTICO FRAGMENTATION
Through the process of networks like SinGAN, drawings can be reinterptreted from their original works
Utilizing a neural style transfer, the UV map of the morphological assembly is blended with a Serlio detail image then remapped to the object. Detail is assigned rather than constructed upon the surfaces of the object reminiscent of the hatching and shading techniques of the original
The project began as an initial response to the issues surrounding public pools in America. Readings of “Contested Waters” by Jeff Wiltse informed our initial approach to resolve problems in areas where the stereotypical public pool failed and in which oftentimes lead
to the further segregation of spaces. The project began as a confrontation of the one dimensionality of the pool complex to revitalize a community of mixed demographics through the integration of spaces and their relationships to social and physical aspects that swimming
and water provides. To counter this one dimensionality, our project persists on the idea of curating spaces that could merge the ideologues of European bathhouses and American Public pools and therefore create a moment in between intimacy and recreation. endam, sunt magni

FORM The line of procession curates spaces that not only flow well, but lead a guest through cavernlike voids that meet at a central point.
