Church of Seed

Fall 2021

Collaboration with Jesica Kim & Emily DeLima

My group and I constructed a model of a building that exemplifed one structural system. Together as a team we selected O Studio Architect’s Church of Seed, for its use of shear walls. What intrigued us was of the Church was its bamboo texture left on the walls after construction; a sort of real world construction drawing lines. As well a the long the fluidity of the walls’ curves. For construction I made a cnc cut base out of wood that reflected the structure’s site unique topography. Custom molds were made for th pieces of the church, lined with woven dowels. The molds granted the shear walls thier shape while the dowels granted the bamboo texture.
