Hyde Park Library Los Angeles, CA This library was developed from a grid composed of elongated octahedrons and regular tetrahedrons which were then morphed to create a series of modules that were infinite and continuous when mirrored and multiplied. Once I created a continuous pattern of modules, I chose one module from the strand of identical parts. This single module whose continuous geometry became the structural frame of the library embodies another continuous system from which the void were systematically developed to create spaces.

The system consists of cutting an elongated octahedron from base to edge. Creating a shape that inverts unto itself. This same movement propagated throughout the entire structure created a composition that went into the interior at some points and protruded onto the exterior in others continuously inverting space. In order to enclose the space defined by the structure, a secondary system rooted at the octahedron cut line defines the edge of the void not only creating enclosure, but also in-between spaces; such as the louvered patio, which connects the project structurally but also programmatically joining the children’s area with the adults and teen area.

Rhythmic Dissonance Los Angeles, CA This house was constructed through a rhythm that unfolds from the inside out. This internalization of rhythm generates an inside out understanding. The internal mass was generated through a series of rhythmic planes whose proximity creates a laminated thickness.

This internal mass materializes the boundaries of the space and at its edge a secondary rhythm, is used to generate the skin of the house. This rhythm coordinates a gradient of perforations in the skin allowing for more or less privacy where it is needed. On the interior of the secondary rhythm is the tertiary rhythmic condition of a reflective metallic grid. This tertiary arrangement adds to the dissonance of the first two by generating a condition where outward views and inward reflections create an overlap in registration.

Messthetics Mendoza, Argentina Messthetics is a project that creates a world from digitally found objects which are scalable and deformable. It contains multiple layers of mapping: Grotesque [Primary: Spatial], Pop [Secondary: Object and Place], Hair [Tertiary: Connective tissue between skins]. Placed inside are the avatars of the sub-conscious of the digitally found world. They work for the building and operate it; they live and die here. When we bring this world into our ordinary physical environment, we perceive a slight shift. Avatars become more human, colors fade, and objects change in their spatial representation. Once an object is moved into a non-ideal reality the materials composing it mold its virtual form into a new physical representation. The object thereby becomes a new thing-in-itself.

Teatro Tenebroso Los Angeles, CA This theater project works with light and shadow to create a chiaroscuro painterly effect represented in the texture and geometry of our building. By mapping out shadows at specific times we carved the site and painted the facades to create ambiguity between light and darkness. A multiplicity of lines and the accumulated density of tone accentuates some edges while blurring others.

Taiwan Museum and Library Taichung, Taiwan This project is about two programs that can see each other but cannot touch, even though they share the same formal conditions. Programatic separation but formal similarity are achieved by: the void extrusion [the rooms], the poche [the walkways], and the connecting facades.

Three diagrams were studied in elaborating this project: a typical Hotel de Ville, the Ascot House, and the Museum der Kulturen in Basel.

I first studied the spatial organization of an Hotel de Ville where the rooms are packed into an externally defined boundary condition. Next I flipped my version of the plan so that it could be read in section, extruded the internal elements, and connected the differing external facades which cut off the extruded portions at some points. The extruded rooms were then divided perpendicularly to the extrusion direction and divided between the museum and the library.

Once a visitor enters a program [library or museum], he or she can stay only within that one program; however, the two programs connect scopically through the extrusion glass divides.

Circulation is resolved by allowing movement in plan in one axial direction and in section through slanted cores, each identified to a single program.

SCI-Arc Addition Los Angeles, CA This project concerns the acquisition of a historic building for the use of SCI-Arc and the surrounding arts district. The Pickleworks Factory is an historic building which dates from the infancy of the Los Angeles art scene. The subject is conservation and revitalization as much as expanding SCI-Arc. This project brings neighbors into the Pickleworks building and surrounds them with a scaled up facsimile of the original building now replicated in the form of a series of walls.

The walls connect to the original Pickleworks through windows. The series of walls create a porous solid from which the proposed SCI-Arc addition is carved out, held, and attached. The walls are supported by the bridge which creates another entrance for the pedestrians on the bridge.

These moments can only be read from inside the building [hence the project is “introverted�].

The neighborhood is brought in by leaving the ground floor of the Pickleworks as an open public space. The new ceiling is SCI-Arc, now embedded to a new version of the original.

Family Matters This project pushes the envelope on the uses and capabilities of carbon fiber. We created a wall partition disintegrating into the softness of human forms that have been enveloped by this material.

Using a projected pattern onto a milled surface and bodies as a solid, we followed the curves with carbon fiber tow and resin to create the shell that would become our partition. The lines thin out and thicken, thereby lending greater definition or blur to the figures. Once the tow had hardened and the solids removed, the wall partition is read grotesquely as a family that has been taken over by a patterned wall.

Algae Research Center Saint-Marc, Haiti Inspired by processes that generate skin color in the Elysia crispata sea slug, is an envelope that communicates to its surroundings the level of maturation of algae resulting in the production of biofuel. This project mimics the way in which this sea slug harnesses energy for its survival while communicating this process physically through varying coloration. The skin that envelops this facility consists of layers which contain a series of modules, each filled with a type of algae.

Each algal species has a distinct maturation length and coloration, ranging from red to blue to green. Therefore, the building envelope provides visual information of its processes while creating interesting ambient effects.

The dynamic condition of growth and harvest of the algae provides a parallel dynamic beautification of the structure that indexically communicates its level of productivity. A system of interlocking tubes brings water to specific bags/pods/sacs, which are layered depending on particular light exposure requirements. At any given time there can be as many as 6 different types of algae maturing to create biodiesel, each exhibiting a different color during the day and night. The structural system which locks all of the modules in place is mae up of transparent tubes filled with a bioluminescent species of algae, allowing for the spaces to be used at night through a different effect.

The layers of multiple skins containing micro algae modules and a bioluminescent algae structure continuously create an array of ever changing coloration inside and outside the structure. The variation in color is produced not only by the different types of algae within the structure and the glow of day and night but also as the algae is inserted, as it matures and when it is expelled.

Mega Drawings Los Angeles, CA This project takes the Teatro Tenebroso project past Schematic Design into Design Development where it was reorganized to fit new structural conditions, egress, HVAC, and ADA requirements.

This course proved that while practice often follows disiplinary inventions there is potential for invention to arise from practice itself.

Our mega-drawing goes beyond the merely practical through the methods of representation of: peeling, slicing and coring the architecture to reveal its interior and infrastructure while resisting construction documents as we know them.

Contoured Intersections This project composed of an intersecting design within a six inch cube creates a variety of conditions through stacking. Two primary figures have a patterned system applied to them that responds to the local condition of the geometry. A secondary figure with no apertures is larger than the other figures while sharing sides with the bounding six inch cube.

Contoured and painted for differentiation these digital figures become two-dimensional and then three-dimensional again through stacking.

From New Modes of Represention to New Forms Through a series of creative exercises, in this course we examined mechanics of representation of the past and current forms of representation. The final part of this course moved from a thorough study of these techniques and their systems to using these systems to create form. The final drawing explores the use of coreographed movement to create form through capturing acceleration and decceleration of the geometry at different points in time.

Future Cities Essentially, this group project describes the design of a city composed of multiple components.

The way in which it is laid out was imagined as a series of intersecting rings which describe a different architectural shift: Corbusier’s Infinite City, Super Studio and the point we are in now.

The way in which the rings are laid out, challenge the nature in which we connect components within a cityscape. Some buildings some connect with each other creating a massive urban continuity at certain points. The idea of entrance is challenged as the XY plane changes along with the ring creating a condition where the entrance is from the top of the structure to the middle then back to top on the other side. There is no ground level, as the horizon shows the top of another ring; instead of a limited landscape with a ground and a sky, one will see the top (or entrance) of a building at one point while seeing another ring above and below them.

Black Forest This course mined the potential to develop Uncivilized space; a particular category of space where bearings are reset and traditional modes of optic and haptic occupation cease. The uncivilized depends—in critical ways—on conventions and default civil behavior while simultaneously engineering and consequently triggering uncivil-mood through numerable calibrated distinctions and select omissions.

Tableau Vivant: Imaginary Landscapes Using Tableau Vivant as a point of departure to question the ideologial and formal implications of various digital representational modes, our experiment in the relationship between geometrical relief, coloration, surface finish, and materials resulted in large scale Imaginary Landscapes that depart from analog aquisitions of natural objects.

To produce our tableau, we created three-dimensional geometry between two real-world objects in order to create imaginary other-world landscapes. We used “fantastic� versions of these models with the aim of making them magical yet realistic enough to be a reality in another place. We then created a 2.5 dimensional landscape which we imagined as a window into a faraway world.

Rude Form: Dolmen Table des Marchands a Locmariaquer The Dolmen is named a Table. Perhaps this is due to the form and the composition of its parts. One monumental, horizontally oriented stone rests on the other eight. It cantilevers from the vertical supports doubling the area below its surface. Producing an implied center, the vertical stones radiate at different angles from that of the horizontal stone, creating an elliptical space. This series of misregistrations in the size, position, and orientation of the support stones against the capstone, enables the upright stones to be understood as figures positioned against the ground of the horizontal surface of the very large cantilever. Thus, an interior space, or a room, is formed from the vertical stones. In exploring the interior, a series of elevations are constructed by remapping each individual stone to its grid’s origin and projecting those displaces drawings back onto the original figures. In developing the space of the room, the elevations are unfolded according to the orientation of their individual planes, then when fit back together, are folded again based upon new intersections of the now vertical planes. A new surface is created between the gap of the original, folded planes. In an effort to depict the interiors through an opposing approach, the four exterior surfaces of the model represent the interior through a conventional four-sided interior elevation drawing. This process results in an objectified space.

Our interest in the room references Cohen’s discussion about interior as found in Log 28 where he describes the interior as opaque and façade-like, but without the qualities of an object.
