In this exercise we analyzed an individual urban building in a group effort. In this context, we paid particular attention to the composition of the buildings facade and how its context produced any emphasis on design. In the case of the Musashino Art University Museum and Library, designed by Sou Fujimoto, the conext is less important than the concept of design and translation of that within the building. Fujimoto believed a library to be much like a forest. By using a spiral organzation, that begins with the facade, Fujimoto designed a system that circulated around a concept of Searchability and Strollability.

01. ANALYSIS OF URBAN BUILDINGS AND THEIR FACADES
Structure and Function Using these massive bookshelves as walls, Fujimoto was able to create a maze-like experience within the library that communicated his belief of libraries as forests of knowledge. By punching openings into these walls the circulation throughout the building changing to allow a more freeflowing path that breaks off from the organized path that the walls provide. This further enforced the concept of Searchability and Strollability that was the lirbary was intended for.

02. DESIGNING AN URBAN BUILDING
THE WINDOW AS A SCREEN
Building Screen
In every project there exists a significant relationship between the facade of a given building and its context. This relationship can define its design and, in turn, define the context as well. It is this exchange that creates the environment and experience of a space as a whole. Keeping this in mind, this project takes from the context around it and responds in a language that is defined by the window as a screen. Given the previous precident of Sou Fujimoto's Musashino Art University Museum and Library, this new archive space uses the original spiral organization to define the conversation between context, facade, and the inner spaces of the project. 11

Given that the sites for this project are in the city of Syracuse, NY, it is important, as with any design, to consider the relationship between context and design. By taking windows from surrounding previous buildings and altering them, there remains a subtle and delicate relationship with the context of the building. As one enters the first layer of the facade, it can be seen that the screen has a relationship both with the outer context and the layers that come after it, going deeper within the building. By maintaining this language, the circulation and spatial orientation of the inner spiral become clear and organized.

DIAGONAL 80 AMID Cero9 Second-Year Studio Analysis Project
In this exercise, we analyzed the tectonic structure and design of the case studies given in order to uncover the role that tectonics can play not only in the structure of the building, but the overall design as well. In the case of AMID Cero9’s Diagonal 80, the underlying steel frame of the building becomes the most important component of the structural security and visual design . By leaving the steel exposed, the frame adds an internal visual experience for the visitor that begins to become the core of the design. Exploded Axon Drawing DIAGONAL 80

03. TECTONICS CASE STUDY ANALYSIS In response to the tectonics analysis, I designed an abstract construct made up of the same geometric language found in AMID Cero9’s Diagonal 80. In order to begin to define this language, it was necessary to identify a “kit-of-parts” (top right figure) that makes up the tectonic system of the steel frame in Diagonal 80. Using these pieces I assembled my new construct in the same manner that the original steel frame was. 21

PETIT LIBRARY ANNEX Second-Year Studio Design Project
Moving from the previous analysis case study, this project used the previous project as a precedent as we took on the task of designing an annex for a local library in Syracuse known as the Petit Library. Using the same process of identifying a kit-of-parts, I moved through a series of schemes, rearranging these pieces until the program and spatial organization fit together. The resulting angled edges come from a grid system used to create the intial pieces for the kit-of-parts. As we moved from the inital design process, the challenge was in finding an efficient way to organize space and program in a way that would make the visitor’s movement from the exisitng library to the new annex seamless.

Site Plan
Meant as a work space and exhibition space, this project challenged me to work with a site that was not only the largest I ever worked with but also the most engaging, making a very dynamic conversation between the existing buildings and new community center. Located in Buffalo, New York, the site of Silo City posed very difficult choices that pushed me to create a compelling sequence moving through the open waterfront landscape. Taking inspiration from the texture of the silos surrounding, I developed an underlaying grid of silos that I used to organize and shape movement and program throughout my building.
