“The main concept of the project is the completed but looking like unfinished grid structure as the primary structure that would allow to plug in units. The stacking strategy of units overlapping with creating support to the unit above, the roof created on each floor is used for drones to land. The program is divided into public and private spaces that allows applying a secondary program. As the site surrounded by colleges, and mostly occupied by students, we decided to have educational program that benefits them to be more informed on warehouses and how they work. The main support in the center of the building is also the main circulation that divides the visitors from employees. Responding to the site, on a horizontal geometry the two cross streets are angled about 30 degree, which affected the orientation of the building geometry in the site, as well as the vertical geometry we applied the same angle used on the horizontal to have the effect of the freeway movement.”

Precedent Analysis

island to be

by Keith Tyson

- A tract of land completely surrounded with boundy, and not large enough called a continent. - Being isolated or having little or no direct communication with others.

large field array The first produced by Tyson in 2006 and consists of three hundred sculptural objects placed on the walls and floor of a gallery space in a grid formation.

Grammar For The City Multifunctional Administrative City for 500.000, South Korea, 2005-06 (in collaboration with Office).”

“a church without god” opposing qualities are explored through visualizations of desolation and progress, death and continuation, noise and silence, nature and culture. the word ‘precept’ has been used a key element to suggest processes experienced by people in time, as well as to question the meaning of existence and established civilizations. .

“Blue Marble” A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin.

Comprehensive Design 2016_FALL_ARCH.487.

The conceptual idea of the project is to analyze the site in 6 different forces/topics. Each force has a different impact on how much it influences the mass from each elevation with a triangulation geometry. From that, I set up a system of order on the mass to create an envelope that responds to the solar studies by offsetting the edge point in the three directions x,y,z to create indirect natural light to the galleries, and direct natural light for other programs. The separation of the program happens in different stages. Semi separation stage for the view by having all the circulation looping around , and higher separation level for the circulation by crossing the plugins barrier as chick in stations.

The Plugins Barrier

Section I SCALE 1” = 16”

The plugins concept is to create plugged in units that allows division between the galleries. The C7 start and end of each gallery determines where each unit is located, which allows a new experience for the residents to circulate throw the gallery while going to their units. This experience is the main idea that alleviates housing shortages.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The site is located at Lookout Dr. and Stadium way. The site is located in between two major streets; upper side of Lookout Dr. and the lower side of Stadium way. The concept that the project focus mostly on, is to use the upper part of the slope in the site as entrance and the lower part of the slope as the view. I created a system of order that guides me to create a definite massing form that responds to the urban fabric. In addition, the system of order is also used to create the circulation. My intention is to have a hybrid typology of courtyard and collapsed plans that has different extrusions created by following the system of order to produce multiple access for ventilation within not only the building but also the unit itself. The extrusion also causes a slightly different unit layout. The system of order is also used to sub-divide the unit layout to create what is private and what is public.â&#x20AC;?

Crystallize

DESIGNER: Eduardo de Miguel YEAR: 2009 LOCATION: Spain, alicante DEFINTION: To cause to take a definite form.

In Short, the atmosphere of this space situated at the foot of the hill was defined by its industrial past as a strategic location, the site for a refinery,with galleries and depots excavated in the rocky nucleus, with mouths opening on to an existing quarry. A tough landscape accentu-ated by the sunlight and sea salt, with planes formed from stone slabs showing the marks of what preceded it. A place that stood against the sea and now appears banded in by the frontier of the infrastructures and constructions that distanced it from that sea. The new Tram line and the location of the La Sangueta stop have become the perfect excuse set. The intervention has consisted of building a minimal number of elements for the functional use of this spot, building and developing a site that would accompany the tracks and a prom-quarry; facing it, in front of the largest, oldest and most spectacular cut, is the Tram plaza and stop that has been developed by the project.

1. The museum is based on a platonic shape which is the triangle. My ancient precedent was Meenakshi Amman temple, and my modern precedent was

the AL-Hambra. I used the difference between the void and solid space in my previous model and started creating a relationship between both from their geometries. I started creating the museum space by using the grid geometry from the previous model. 2. It is important to have different space sizes that derive a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movement throughout the museum. The importance of the space is that the bigger the space, the more freedom is given to the visitors to admire different kinds of

F3.1

work. As the space gets smaller, the visitors become more focused on the most important piece. 3. The entrance starts on the ground level and it guides the visitors to go only in one direction starting from the gallery area. The cafĂŠ is at the end of the first floor.

The second floor has the mechanical room and the gallery space is all around the second floor and there is a gallery room that allows the sunligzht to go through. The third floor is the smallest floor which gives it the exceptional element for the special art room. The middle circular void area of the museum is the sculptural area with surrounded with glass. At the end of the third floor the stairs takes F1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The relationship of architecture to the body is developed further with an exploration of essential architectural principles as they relate to a fundamental understanding of natural elements and human tendencies. Projects introduce scale, enclosure, architectural elements, spatial expression and program as form giversâ&#x20AC;?.

Tendency and Environment

This is the left side of the body with view of a smaller buliding. You can hear sounds from a few students walking and talking outside. The time of the day and sunlight are causing the temperature to be warm. The person is standing in a shady area to be comfortable.

LEANING TEXTING

The time of day and sunlight are causing the temperature to be warm. The body is leaning against the stairs of the building which is providing shade. This is the view from behind the body of the stairs. You can hear sounds from a few students going up and down stairs.

The body is leaning against the wall, the back is straight while the left leg is supporting the bodyweight. The head is looking down with the eyes staring at the hands holding the phone for approximately 10 minutes.

This is the right view of the body showing students models in between two bulidings. Because there are models in between the two buildings, not a lot of people walk by. Therefore there is not much talking going on.

Verb and Constructs

Two symmetrical shapes are intersecting. The primary shape is being supported by the secondary shape. Two symmetrical shapes are intersecting. The primary shape is being supported by the secondary shape.

To Support -To provide means, force, or strength that is secondary to back up. -To give assistance to a primary battle force. “Support.” Gove, Philip Babcock.

The construct is being hold together by being connected with basswood pieces. It is also being supported by having the opposite side of the shape as the base.
