Architecture is the equilibrium between art and science. In that sense it is, for me, the most pluridisciplinary field, an exercice in thoughtfully combining knowledge of all sorts in a symbiotic manner, in order to create various environments and experiences for the users and the viewers. Meant to provide shelter and comfort for its inhabitants, Architecture should also leave space for their creativity. In the best of cases, it should thrive to instigate social behaviour, emotions and civic acts on the users -or when the program is undefined -observing the resulting effects on people should, I think, be the architect’s duty. As Architecture exists since humans and animals have sought to build shelter in sometimes hostile environments, it is in a constant state of evolution. Today it encompasses a variety of aspects, from theories to discourses and evolving technologies to actual physicality that is present, occupied and experienced. It personally affects everyone everyday everywhere and is indispensable to human survival; hence, I think the attention and fascination that revolves around it is justified.

SCI_Arc Expansion Spring 2016 - Maxi Spina Educational 950 E. 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA Collaboration: Karim Saleh This Studio Project began with a study of part-to-whole relationships. We were asked to propose series of pieces or a single piece that fit with another (or itself) in different manners. The focus was thereafter to start forming masses through the assemblie of the pieces, in our case three. The first piece consist of a standard cube, the second one has a truncated corner from the diagonal of the top face, the third is indented towards the diagonal of the cube. The rotation of each of the three pieces provided different connections, attachment and textures. By looking closely at the jointure and sewing lines of our assemblies we provided techniques of folding and turning that enabled us to atriculate our masses. Our four masses were stiched together also through the help the partsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rotations. As the building scale is very large the challenge was to bring light towards the center of the mass in order to naturally lit most of the educational program. We took a stance at reinforcing the stiching lines where different masses come together or a masse folds by rendering the sawtooth stitching as multi level light wells. We have also carved out one of the crease where two masse colided to create a large atrium arm that reaches the center of the mass and acts as the spine for the circulation of the building thereby becoming a socially activated space. In terms of materiality and building tectonics we created two systems of paneling which either contradict or accentuate the natural grain of the aggregation. The first systems is large GFRC strips that cover the entire building and defines differents grains depending on the faces on which its applied. Thereafter a second system of strips a third of the width of the first ones covers the folds of the mass which are oriented south and are though of as iontegrated photovoltaic surfaces. A similar idea was used to define apertures, going against or reinforcing the panels directions and piercing ling strips of glass.

Hudson Yard High-Rise Fall 2015 - Alexis Rochas Office Tower/ Mixed Use 10 Hudson Yard, Manhattan, NY Collaboration: Rishab Jain This studio corresponds to the first project produced in partnership with another student. It focuses on a tall building form and examines particular impacts of the building envelope and its material and geometrical determinations. It also puts an emphasis on part-to-whole relationship. The syllabus reads as follow: “By studying the specificities of the Tall Building envelope students will be exposed to the tight dependency existing between serial determinations –of both geometric and material order- of the outermost surface, and the spaces it encloses, its surroundings and its iconographic performance in today’s metropolis.” We are meant to articulate a proposal that fulfills the different performative criteria of the contemporary High-rise while questioning its presumed vertical organizations. Our midterm proposal focuses on skin rustication and porosity. We are looking at part-to-whole organization using grasshopper scripts. The parts baked from the scripts are run through a process of operations (mainly contouring and extruding) to make their original appearances disappear and achieve apertures and a higher level of articulation. Our massing studies enabled us to develop a clear understanding of vertical rhythm and stacking methods. It also helped us define the modules that were to be serially repeated throughout the verticality of the structure. The project is located at the corner of 10 and 31st avenue in the Hudson Yards neighborhood of Manhattan, NY. Our final revision looks at dealing with the site and the highline in an efficient manner. The podium of the tower houses retail spaces and engulfs the Highline. It also serves as the Highline’s entry point to the Hudson Yard Masterplan main public plaza. Furthermore the skin of the vertical organization has been developed in a two to three layer envelope that reaches true porosity. The mass now reads more massive and solid at the top of the tower and appears to lighten up as it goes down (gradient and stratas effect). It gives a floating appearance to the otherwise fairly rigid structure. Each cells of the skin is pushed in or out of the building at different degree creating highly articulated shadows.

Los Angeles Center for Architecture Spring 2014 - Bryony Roberts Community/ Cultural Los Angeles, CA The Los Angeles Center for Architecture (LACA) is an archive center meant to store and showcase all types of architectural artifacts and works of local Architects. It is a cultural building open to the public located in downtown Los Angeles. The archives are a rather private program as the given brief mentioned that visitors are allowed to consult them by appointment only. The other spaces are composed by the following: Exhibition Galleries, research and study spaces, cafe and bookstore and a large lecture hall. The design process began with a precedent study, here, Schinkel’s Altes museum. The plan of the building was recreated through a system of calibrated and annotated regulating grids. A specific geometric area was chosen. The defined footprint was to be transformed into a 3 dimensional figure using primitive geometries only. The resulting (“mother”) figure then went through a series of transformations and iterations creating a family of objects. The final version was organized in space with its predecessors using frames (made of square section lattices) to define the spatial position of a figure to another. The setup was then repeated and aggregated in 3D to create a field condition. A cut in that field was to be the basic morphology used to design the LACA form and plans. The design of the building is influenced by Richard Serra’s Band sculpture of the L.A.C.M.A. museum. The Geometry is aimed to guide the users in a certain path to experience LACA in the “right” order or direction. It also looks at void spaces and ceiling height variations to create moments of release.

Shadow Machine House Fall 2016 - Dwayne Oyler Residential 555 N. Vista Chino, Palm Spring, CA Outdoor terrace

This residential project is located in Palm Springs, California. The emphasis has been to develop a thesis from precedent researches in order to answer the site and brief. After looking closely at the Hanselmann House by Michael Graves I have extracted two of the implied diagrams, the idea of a solid inhabited cube that is reproduced as a void. The compositional and layering effect on the facade and the processional attributes achieved by the replica is what I found interesting. I carried away quite literally the idea of the two volumes. As our site is in the desert, the idea is also to add functionality to the open object; the volumized space becomes a porous shadow machine. The light filtering attributes of the latter participate in maintaining the solid’s environment closer to the human comfort zone. Formally the two cubes are rotated in two and three dimensions to respond to site constraints and opportunities. The ambition is to build the transition between the two objects by designing the enclosure of the solid and the boundaries of the porous. Apertures of the porous object are derived from solar angles and site view studies: areas that would benefit from sunlight at varying hours of the day are curated and projections at defined angles are perforation tools. Shapes and patterns gradients are projected back on the ground and walls by the further layering of the unaffected faces of the porous volume.

Cool area = Western faces

Shadow are practically verticaloverhang needs to be over lunch area

Sunlight slighty reaches into covered space from east Overhang very efficient

Covered area = shaded area

June 21st Solstice = worst case scenario Covered area reached by sunlight Volumization of shadow Prohected shadow on ground Sun arc

Conclusion: The overhanged mass must be pushed west more than east to create an area equally shaded in the morning and in the afternoon. In terms of apertures, they should be limited on the western face to contain heat gains. Private programs (bedrooms) will remain cool by being located in the north street side part of the house

Culinary School Spring 2015 - Mira Henry Educational/ Mixed-use 917 S. Main Street, Los Angeles The 2B studio is the program studio of the bachelor cursus. The assignment is a culinary school located at the corner of Olympic Blvd. and Main Street in downtown Los Angeles. Research on particular types of experimental or traditional cuisines replaced the precedent study. I was assigned â&#x20AC;&#x153;Italian cuisine before the Renaissanceâ&#x20AC;?. At first, the brief is to be developed into a personal program list manipulated according to an ideology. The argument and concept of the school are to be fully elaborated and imagined by the students. The formal part of the project is achieved through the manipulation of simple micro-morphology volumes such as L shapes, bars and doughnuts in the 3D bounding box of the site. This form is then worked and modified to fit and morph to the program it is meant to house. The goal of the exercise is to propose a programmatic response that is suited to a concept and provide a form that best puts it to life. I analyzed the neighborhood in terms of stacking and repartition of program types in the buildings and proposed a reshuffling and rethinking of those in my project.

“About Us” - The school focuses on the exploration of ingredient marriages and believes that fine food has endless possibilities. By carefully analyzing classic traditional dishes and constantly testing we aim to discover gustative outcomes. - Our mission is to teach the classic cuisines of the world in the most rigorous manner in order to explore new paths. Revisiting, rediscovering and inventing is at the basis of our project. All propositions and visions are welcome. By offering programs that are strongly background oriented but leave a large part to creativity, we instigate interrogatory behavior and avant-garde cooking. We strive to shape the chefs, food stylers, and recipe developers of tomorrow. - Food symbiosis can be achieved through reimagining the manner of serving or eating a recipe. More importantly it is the modification of recipes and cooking methods. The heart of our educational approach is to question and study every facet of the culinary field. - With one of the smallest student-to-teacher ratio of America we encourage student teacher interaction.

Artist : Jean-Marie Prandi (Counter intervention) Photography : Frederic Raevens SAMOURAI RAMEN Toison d’Or is a renovation and interior design intervention in the center of Brussels, Belgium. The small elevated space is the new house of the third of the prestigious main “Le Samourai” restaurant in the city. The challenge here was to adapt a popular Japanese cuisine concept to north western Europe standards. The Toison D’Or retail avenue, the entrance garden, the terrace and the indoor restaurant were the four spaces to put in relation yet achieving different characteristic atmospheres in each of them. The restaurant revolves around a central main kitchen from which a roof hanged lattice scenography develops. The lattices engulf the space around the bar and evoque japanese noodles or lamps. The round open bar encloses the counters on which the last steps the Ramen broth are performed; therefore providing a visual experience for the clients.

In the idea that prisoners have a greater chance to successfully reintegrate society when they are least segregated from it during their sentence: the goal of this design is to blend the institution into the existing urban setting by imitating characteristics of the adjacent neighborhoods. Moving away from the current overly-planned megastructure model has been key to provide a setting that would let inmates feel part of the urban life of the area. Providing sport, retail and educational facilities shared with the local population is also a central concept for this proposal. As our site is naturally bounded by the LA River, train tracks and a freeway, all existing roads are kept and upgraded to ensure flawless connectivity. Mission becomes a highly activated street featuring parking, vegetation, pedestrian and bicycle facilitated access. The housing blocks are mostly organized along the three streets and define a central space where most of the communal programs are concentrated. The western side of this open space-along the river- is thought of as a university campus and surrounded by educational and leisure programs. The eastern end houses retail shops and restaurants in the way of a plaza. The shared housing of inmates and staff is dense at the center and progressively diminishes in scale to adopt residential characteristics towards the extremities of the site. The community programs infiltrate the residential quarters: Sport courts are spread out, a Hospital and Gym complex are located at both ends of Mission Street to attract local residents. The layout and scale of buildings is thought of to render the exchange between the institution and the neighborhoods smooth

This team project consisted in rebuilding Hadid’s Broad museum at Michigan State University to study and understand construction layering: primary and secondary structure, insulation, fireproofing and waterproofing, exterior panels’ attachment, aperture construction and jointure. After researching and rebuilding a model of the museum we were meant to propose additional feasible exterior material proposals. Zaha Hadid’s Michigan University’s Broad museum was designed following circulation path lines of the University of Michigan. The façade’s louver orientation reflects most of the directions of travel on the prescribed site and allow for angled glimpses of views inside the galleries, primarily in the areas in which the glazing is revealed under the cladding. These series of transformations aim to subdivide the stainless steel extruded louvers into smaller, cellular components. To achieve this, the existing louver grain was maintained but superimposed with a new directionality. Indeed by keeping the original facade then overlapping and orienting a second set of louvers on top of it, we created moments of intersection which subdivided the original longitudinal pieces. These intersections create various resulting figures producing shadow effects along the overlaps. The orientation of these grains and shading form new aperture opportunities and, according to their manipulation, can result in a gradient effect. By keeping the original sets of extrusions, we maintained the primary design intent (which was to echo the site’s apparent directions) and added a second layer of complexity at the intersection moments.

Transformation 02/06 The cross-grain extends over four out of seven facade regions distinctly, and one more region subtly. The grain be less grid-like.

Transformation 03/06 The cross-grain regions, through the layering of louver widths and patterns, further subdivide the facade regions. The window and entry areas remain pure, but accidental.

Transformation 06/06 In this transformation, the original directionality of the louvers are exxaggerated though maintained. The facade panelization is cellulized only in three out of seven regions, making the transformation more eco nomical.

The Design Development of this SCI-Arc expansion proposal by Sarasvati Segura comprised researching the most adequate choices of structure, materials and construction method- it also encompassed drawing and designing all layers of the buildings elements (cores, slabs, exterior shell, apertures).Also part of the project was to provide a parking structure, ADA accessibility, fire hazard and Egress compliance. The chosen structural strategy chosen was a combination of cores and truss with space frame system attached to large curved peripheral bracing I beams (to avoid columns everywhere possible). A large one story truss was designed to support the mass cantilevering above the entrance and attached to the two adjacent cores; STEEL FRAMING:the bracing STRUCTURAL SYSTEMframe DEFINITIONS and space support the other masses shells andBEAM:plates.

Details Details Canopy Fall 2016 - Dwayne Oyler Community Jorn Utzon Unbuilt Museum Proposal Collaboration: Andreina Pepe, Borna KhallilNassab This detail is a hybrid of a louver/ mullion and a glass canopy structure which is meant to cover an elevated outdoor walkway planned in the Jorn Utzon Museum. We were interested in developing further the curves already present in the museum proposed scheme. To achieve a lighter and less dense aspect than the overall project we opted for a wireframe structure that compliments the glass panels and the existing wall. The concrete wall inflects and deflects to receive the pipes in a more fluid manner. The glass panels are hold in place from top and bottom by the wrapping of the structure. Atop the wall the wireframe lightly hovers before disappearing in the back. Behind, the structure is grounded into the wall (the base in our model). The canopy is made from hollowed 5/8th’’ (1//2 scale) stainless tubes that were bent three dimensionally using a dye. The latter were assembled and welded together through a sub structure of full smaller radius stainless rods. For modeling purposes we have welded the primary structure to a metal plate screwed down at the back of the base.
