[Phenomenology] considers the body’s interaction with its environment, requiring deliberate attention to the process of how things are constructed. A renewed interest is created concerning the sensuous qualities of materials, light, color, and in the significance of the joint.

DESIGN 4 [L. KARA] DESERT INTERVENTIoN _ SPRING 2007
In his work, Inside Architecture, Gregotti calls for a suspension of judgments of what is already known in order to create a speculative void [thinking in the making] beyond the influences of established culture and tradition that will enable ‘new possibilities’
for
of
the
‘dwelling.’
to
“the
enigma

that shines by the light of its own, intimate necessity” to articulate architecture as a new reality brought about by its own necessity [shine], as a possibility of looking at realities in ways never before conceived.

[Invisibilit y and Bionic Architecture]
The bionic architecture of the house retains organic and invisible quality as it camouflages itself within the terrain. Located within the site in a gathering of fallen trees, the house relies on natural filtration of light. Its sustainable nature enhances man’s interaction with the environment rather than disturbing it.

DESIGN 6 [R. HILL] CHARLESToN CoNTEMPoRARy LIBRARy _ SPRING 2008
establishing a presence within the city fabric, the library serves as the social seam, the axis between Charleston’s Bay Street and the waterfront. Aligned by processional axes, the structure establishes a figure/ground relationship within the context as it strives to preserve the historic nature of the city by embracing its north edge. A sense of revelation is achieved through the iconic atrium that exhibits shifting light patterns and the shifted light well acting as the central core . “new forms of reading enhance the aura of the real book” - discussion on Rem Koolhaus’ Seattle Central Library

in collaboration with - m. couvillion, g. swinton, j. crews
Phasing for future growth is accommodated through five distinct phases. The First two phases create new structures to relieve outdated and decrepit buildings. The subsequent stages implement greenways for connecting and bridging the campus within itselt as well as to the larger urban context. All together, these phases add inpatient as well as outpatient clinical spaces supported by academic research and civic spaces. Many of these structures will also integrate parking and various uses such as dining, retail and various commercial programs.
