02. Bathhouse Part II fa 24’ design studio 201 Situated on a countoured slope, a bathhouse was formed by organizing program by edges, leaving the center as a triangular circulation path that connects access points for various interior conditions. A concrete roof rests on timber trusses, as displayed in the following 1/16” =1’ section model chunk. stephen lee- selected works wsp 22’-23’ - prattsoa 23’-24’

02. Bathhouse Part I fa 24’ design studio 201 A pre-curser to part II, this bathhouse structure’s site is a beachfront, with only 3-foot step-up to street level from the sand. The model is made from 4-ply museum board, to show how interior conditions are effected by truss span and variation.

03. Armature Transformation fa 23’ design 101 Grid, Undulation, Linear Chunking; these operations manifested a tectonic ground and stereotomic form from rule-based drawings, exploring the relationship of figure and plane.

The project is if armature as strcuture can function as spacial transformation; in human and technic diologue stephen lee- selected works wsp 22’-23’ - prattsoa 23’-24’

04 . Extraction: Tokyo Apartments--Sou Fujimoto sp 24’ representation 112 Through analysis of building section and elevation, I investigated the spacial, program and circulation relationsips of the project through reconstrcution. Discovery of structural elements was additionally discovered and recorded stephen lee- selected works wsp 22’-23’ - prattsoa 23’-24’

07 . Oloid Towers independent work 22’ Handcrafted alabaster mineral was shaped, 3D-scanned and imported to Rhino for render. Translation of aerodynamic properties were explored via tuft test in wind tunnel, exhibiting wind-channeling abilities to prevent wind sheer force on highrise strctures. An example of phrase coined

by BIG “engineering without engines”
