Animate
Angeline C Jacques
My true interest and education in architecture began when I discovered that the creativity behind it extends far past four walls. The processes, experiences, and logics that compose architectural design has been an essential part of my education. In this portfolio, I have detailed the experiments and projects that best represent my architectural curiosities. I have also included the other influences that have captured my attention during my education - the process of animation, the movement of users throughout a site, and the importance of context on the urban scale. Thank you for your time and attention. Angeline C Jacques Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.Arch Candidate) Princeton University (Class of 2016)

Liam O’Brien’s Studio Instructor: Oana Stanescu Fall 2016 MIT School of Architecture Beginning with the prompt of a “theatre in the round and a theatre in the ground,” this project aimed to investigate a manipulable boundary between these two poles that would allow for the shifting, expansion, and combination of multiple programs. The curtain was used as a formal tool for integrating the many aspects of this site and project: the city, the park, the performance, and the public.

Ana Miljacki’s Studio Spring 2017 MIT School of Architecture The People’s Pool was a competition-style project in which each group created a proposal for a multi-program poolhouse in the Bronx in the style of a certain architect. Tasked with utilizing the principles behind Louis Kahn’s Trenton Bath Houses, we created a new monument for the people. A grid of inhabitable columns allows its users to climb, slide, and leap between the multiple levels of the poolhouse. Project completed as a collaboration with Shep Halsey and Marlena Fauer.

Mario Gandelsonas’ Studio Fall 2015 Princeton SoA This project imagines a new cultural center that utilizes the 500m-long canopy that previously housed a massive produce market. Using the typology of the Brazilian cultural center and the indistinction between inside, outside, structure, and environment, this new cultural center aims to create an urban “archipelago” water park with a diverse set of programs for users that reacts to the shifting nature of water around it.

The resulting design is a set of two lever arms that turn the force of a small push backwards into a dramatic forward expansion. This project was completed with Emily Whitbeck and Shepherd Halsey. All presented drawings, photos, and video stills were created by Angeline Jacques. Design and construction of the structure were collaborative.

Liz Diller and Hayley Eber’s studio Spring 2015 Princeton SoA This project imagines a new transit plaza for Princeton, NJ. It considers the intersection of the university, the community, commuters, and shoppers who will be entering the area. Employing the previous research on Thorsen and Eliasson’s pavilion, four paths are generated that create a visual experience as users move through the plaza and consider a number of activities such as waiting for the train, biking, or performing in the bowl below.

A series of massing experiments were conducted in order to explore structures with maximum site coverage and maximum FAR under the building codes for a neighborhood in Princeton, NJ. The generation of these structures allows for a variety of massing options within a very constrained site. The 50%/75% model was then chosen to sketch out the massing for a solar efficient home.

Amigos de Los Rios Summer 2016 Altadena, CA The mission of Amigos de los Rios, a small design non-profit, is to increase parks and park access for disadvantaged communities in the San Gabriel Valley. My main project was the creation of the first iconographic recreational map of the valley as a way to inform citizens about existing resources and advocate for further protection of environmental spaces. This map is intended for distribution at Forest Service kiosks.

Rafi Segal Architecture & Urbanism, LLC January 2017 Brookline, MA As part of a month-long internship, I compiled site and urban context analysis for two separate project proposals. In West Roxbury, we created a proposal for a multi-residential building including commercial space and offering a connection to the commuter T stop. In Krakow, poland, we redesigned a public stair for an urban design competition. The graphics I created informed and were included in the proposal presentations for both projects.

A Study in Spinning Tops
Liz Diller and Hayley Eber’s studio Spring 2015 Princeton SoA PART 1 This experiment was completed as part of an extensive analysis of the relationship between architecture and animation through the study of Thorsen and Eliasson’s 2007 Serpentine pavilion. This film exmaines the shifting axes of a spinning top and the balance/imbalance created by its movements. Video can be reached through QR code.

Precedent: Victorian panorama attractions
This study situates Olafur Eliasson’s work with the panorama within a history of devices that mediate the user’s view. The panorama machine employs animation through rotational movement and the moire effect to create a new viewing experience for users from both the interior and exterior of the device. Video can be reached through QR code.

Dis-Integration 51
Axel Kilian’s studio - Fall 2014 - Princeton SoA In this program, four agents create a series of colored crosses that are continuous until they are stopped by a non-black pixel. The program deletes a color when the screen becomes 80% non-black and that agent must start again. Over the time, the leftover fragments created by deleted colors break the program’s own continuity rule. This program was created using Processing, a Java language.

Mario Gandelsonas’ Studio Fall 2015 Princeton SoA This speculative project examines Ibirapuera Park, located in São Paulo, Brazil, as a collaboration of diverse user experiences. These experiences were graphed based on their use of space and time. From this analysis, A handheld game was created in which the player must move an object through a maze. Different path “cards” can be slid under the maze to create twelve distinct patterns of gameplay.
Welcome to IBIRAPUERA PARK! Ibirapuera Park gets thousands of visitors every day, looking to visit its museums and auditoriums, gardens and sculptures, or simply to walk, bike, and skate through it. Depending on the reason for their visit, each user spends a different amount of time in Ibirapuera. In Twelve Parks, you guide every user across the park on their visit, within a time limit corresponding to measurements we’ve taken. Your task is simple. Get every user through the park on their specific path, without making any detours on the rest of the paths in the park, in the exact amount of time listed. A different-sized and –textured object from our collection represents each user. Tilt the board to guide your user in the direction you wish them to go. Underneath the see-through paths layer, you can slide a board painted specifically with the path that your chosen user should follow – so if you get off the user’s path, you should know it! But watch out! Getting off your path could mean a trap. Some of the park’s architecture is meant to be part of your path, but some of it is on our board simply to take up your time as you figure a way out, or just to trap you so you can go no further. Not all of our paths are paths either. You could end up on one where you can only go in circles for the rest of your time. All the same, welcome, and we hope you have a pleasant visit.

Every Building on Oslo’s Harbor

The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born.
FILIPSTAD 20??
Kristian Henson’s Workshop Summer 2015 The Ventriloquist School (Oslo, Norway)
From the number of imaginable cities we must exclude those whose elements are assembled without a connecting thread, an inner rule, a perspective, a discourse.
TJUVHOLMEN 2012
And if asked whether they fear that, once the scaffoldings are removed, the city may begin to crumble and fall to pieces, they add hastily, in a whisper, “not only the city.”
The dreamed-of city contained him as a young man; he arrives at Isidora in his old age. In the square there is a wall where the old men sit and watch the young go by; he is seated in a row with them. Desires are already memories.
THE CITY CENTER 1642
“And yet I know,” he would say, “that my empire is made of the stuff of crystals, its molecules arranged in a perfect pattern. Amid the surge of the elements, a splendid hard diamond takes shape, an immense, facted, transparent mountain.”
Inspired by Ed Ruscha’s work, this documentation of Oslo’s harbor captures the rapid expansion of the city, and the discordance created between new, old, and future neighborhoods. It is a temporal work as well as spatial - Oslo, constantly changing and growing, will never look this way again. This project was published in Henson’s No Way, a collaborative examination of critical tourism, and sold at the NYC Art Book Fair in September 2015. All quotes are from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.
