THE ATRIUM
Professional Work: STUDIOS Architecture Supervisor: Kristian Passinita & Jose
This tenant improvement project of an existing two story atrium connects two office spaces of a tech company. The overall look and feel of Atrium respects and celebrates the inside outside concept by bringing in the warm tones and feel of a courtyard inside. The linearity of this Atrium is broken by introducing communal bar and various seating options encouraging informal meetings, dining, and relaxation. The overall design of the Atrium allows for opportunities to bump into friends and foster a sense of community between two very different yet connected world of a tech company.

Professional Work: STUDIOS Architecture
Supervisor: Kristian Passinita & Jose
Located in Cupertino, this office serves the Legal team of a tech company. The design brings together the flexibility and collaboration opportunities inherent to tech workplaces with a warm, sophisticated palette suited to this forward-thinking Tech Client. We overhauled an outdated work floor with a timeless and functional design that feeds natural light to the central lounge and assistant bays. We also placed a continuous linear band of light between two parallel fabric panels bringing more light into the space while providing acoustic treatment and gave new life to the existing private office.

THE WAREHOUSE
Professional Work: TEF Design Supervisor: Justin Blinn & Ivana Pilipovic
Originally constructed in 1941 as a warehouse for WWII efforts, Building 2 is a simple rectangular concrete structure with large multi-lite windows at each facade. The building is oriented in the north-south direction with loading access at the north, west, and east facades. A sixth floor addition was built in 1944 as a drafting studio. The project entails base building rehabilitation, including envelope improvements and structural retrofit, and adaptive reuse for commercial office use. Building systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection, will be all new. The project also includes new vertical circulation elements complying with modern egress requirements, including new elevators and egress stairs.

IMMERSIVE ILLUSION
Instructor: Matias Del Campo & Sandra Manninger
Group: Varalikaraj Singh, Kelvin Chen & Mengyang Wang
In today’s world of Data, where everyone is surrounded by it, we feel it is important to connect the data to the real world because it influences not just at the urban scale but also at the global level. This can be achieved by creating an interactive virtual environment through architecture. The idea is to go beyond virtual contextualization by creating an interactive virtual environment through reflection and artificial intelligence. Going back in history, the first virtual image created was through reflection, which changed the path of art and architecture, be it Arnolfini portrait or the House of Mirrors, Prague by Harold Davis. Seeing how vital reflection was crucial in changing the path of architecture in past, it is necessary to explore how it would affect the virtual environment and architecture of the future. To investigate this possibility, we used an image as our source of data because we feel it is a powerful way of expression and one of the most readily available data found among every human being. In order to get a perception of this data from the image, we developed artificial intelligence which helped us to transform data into an interactive virtual environment.
