Pink House 5

Longitudinal Section

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.

GOGERCHIN RESIDENCE Nestled in a hillside on Point Dume, the Gogerchin residence perches off and forms itseld towards views of the mountains and ocean.

The new development sits below an older home on the property, and the challenge in this project was to connet the two in a harmonious way.

Station Zero Competition 13

Section 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 effort 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.

which it pulls from. In the same note, typical open air resevoirs are being studied and analyzed as antiquated, with newer subterranean solutions being offered. Concrete aquifers entomb the new resevoirs and are then paved by various forms

of landscape. This Project emdoies the spirit of building as landscape. It confronts structural-functional organizations of resevoirs but also the spatial-politcal dynamic between the well and the drinker.

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 TEXTURE & STYLE

Iterative SinGAN Outputs of Serlian Porticos

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 Serlian drawings.
