PASADENA CITY COLLEGE ARCH 20A FALL 2010 PROFESSOR COLEMAN GRIFFITH STUDENT AMANDA CLAY

Location: Downtown LosAngles S. Hill St and W. 4th St Site: Bunker Hill is a significant landmark for downtown Los Angeles. It connects people from different ethnic backgrounds and social levels. The site is linked by the market
and California Plaza. Site also acts as a hub for commuters, linking an underground rail sytem to above ground bus routes. California Plaza is located at the top of Bunker Hill and overlooks the site. The skyscrapers and Californa Plaza at the top of the hill are predominatly used by middle upperclass workers, and the market at the bottom of the hill is prodominatly used by lower class workers and immigrants. Part of the goal of this project is to link the two sites and create a reason for the different communities to interact.
Objective: Reintroduce the community to the chamber orchestra and reinvent the relationship between the community and the orchesra, and enhance this relationship through architecture.
External Reference: As an external reference, an acoustic musical instrument was required, in order to embody the spirit of the chamber orchestra, as well as to teach the students about the type of music that would be performed. The study of the instrument should investigate how it creates sound through its form, components and use, and how these principles can be related to the site.

Process of creating manta minimal surface object from original minimal surface.
Project description: Create an art pavilion using built minimal surfaces in the footprint of the
Villa NM building that was studied in a previous project.
Project concept: Take designed minimal surface shape which has been created from original minimal surface and use to create enclosure for building in a way that creates a usable and pleasing form while following programatic constraints.
Program: Building should have a reception area, artwork viewing areas and enclosed spaces for storing artwork. MIRROR WING AT SHORT END (LEFT)

Project description:

Concept: take found shapes and using a 3D modeling program, distort the shapes to create unique volumes.
Utilize these volumes to explore the idea of negative space within a cube. Work
to create interesting experiential spaces within a simple cube while learning to use a modeling program and learning to set up lazercutting templates. Shapes start out roughly rectilinear and become more dynamic and curved throughout the manipulation proccess.

Project Goal: Learn the properties of fabric casting and how this mode of casting cement can influence the project as opposed to the traditional formwork casting.
Create a system which supports itself and plant life in an interrelated system.
Project Description: This was a group project with six students working together.
We decided to create a modular system using the fabric casting method. One of the main goals of the project was to figure out how we could show the attributes of fabric in the final cement model, and utilize these attributes to influence the creation and design of the project.

This was the last of the study models that did not look like our final project. However, from this reworking of the sphere model,
