Chunk Model

The addition and alteration strategy in this project is reconfiguring the interior core of the existing building. The core merges with the existing wood floor with the help of horizontal elements that branches out from it. It has a monolithic presence in the interior.

There is an intense form of tension stemming from this conflict bet ween the core and the existing building. By removing chunks from the existing building and revealing the core, this tension becomes visible in the exterior as well. It creates a dialogue bet ween old and new.

With the application of sand,the physical model shows the relationship between the sand and the stone in the interior. Sand activates the gallery spaces.

BI-DIRECTIONAL OBJECT

The project is exploring a spatial perspective model transitioning bet ween 2D and 3D.

Instructor:

Jef fery Anderson

By inventing a system for drawing, modeling, and constructing the subject matter in a photograph, Mediums studio investigates the foundations of perspective. The project starts with capturing architectural moments that depict a perspectival juncture

To physically produce the diorama, four methods of texture and color treatment applied as a system of joinery;acrylic painting,sand texture application with glue and spray painting.

Rear Diorama (Background)

Base Model

Initial Perspective Second Perspective

The composite image is consists of a window, a canopy, and a cabinet. These three are chosen because they all have a sense of direction within themselves.

When stepping in 3D from 2D, the emphasis was on contour lines of the perspective. The aim was to highlight details of the perspective.

RED HOOK MIDDLE SCHOOL

A middle school project on Red Hook that focuses on communit y engagement through design.

Instructor: Theoharis David

The design of the building responds to a complex ensemble of architectural program and the context to investigate circulation and its material and spatial features.

This system comes from the precedent study of the Seona Reid Building by Steven Holl. In this project, the concept of “Driven Voids of Light” provides natural light through the building’s depths. By abstracting this idea, it became a circulation system and it led to the program ’ s redefinition and growth.

The system aims to achieve communit y engagement through design. It runs from the boundaries of the site to the interior and welcomes the residents of Red Hook. In the interior, this system forms a space for the students to spend qualit y time. It redefines the notion of the hallway.

Isometric View of the Chunk

The speculative interior chunk is formed by extracting interesting spatial regions from Higgins Hall. Poche and the thickness is used to express spatial conditions, relationships, and concepts. A 10’x10’x10’ portion of the chunk is selected to investigate.

The investigation of color and materiality is started with the 5”x5” Detail Piece. The detail strategy is formed in Grasshopper later manipulated in Rhino and ZBrush.Wood is selected to highlight the curvelinear features of the detail.
