Description The Project is about recreating connection within ambiguous environment. The existing Villa 31 inhabit an ambiguous language, where the villa where people lives in are never the same, and these gesture create a dense and a cluster living environment. However Ambiguity becomes the tool for us to design within Villa 31, Ambiguity of the villa The first Great Depression (the 1975 -1989 ), Due multiple country having Currency due to the reason of military Dictatorship. and Inflation issues (Russia, Brazil, Thailand…etc) Leopoldofrom Galtieri gambled, that that broughttechnique Argentina’s second comes thethinking construction of the villa, taking a British owned Island, Falkland Islands Great Depression(1998-2002) will help unite the Country.

This ambiguity suggest Villa 31 is one of the many shanty towns in Buenos aires.

Although being perceived as a place of crime and aspect endless to project itTownstoLike our civic architecture. cycle of poverty. Shanty Villa 31 have been a temporary foothold

Since december 2003, Argentina has opened up its Immigration policy from heavy police state based to a human rights based policy. What this means is that the policy on immigration focuses on reuniting families and treating immigrants the same as argentine citizen.

Buenos aires is now considered a global city and has risen 13 positions and ranks 20. A Global city or Alpha city is generally considered to be an economic node in the global economy. In this category, Buenos Airesis considered an alpha - city following Seoul Johannesburg.

Since then from 2006 there has been 800,000 applicants, though the policy has its flaws. Many places still require immigrants to show proper documentation to gain social services. Yet immigrants who sucessfully immigrated intoargentina do not wish to obtain proper documents. This eventually led to developments of shanty towns (Villa Miseria).

Secular Monastery 1

The Project aimed for a different approach in designing spaces first and using Monasteries as a concept development stage. Monasteries in general have a particular mood and atmosphere to it in terms of spatial experiences. These include Lighting, sound, Volume of Space and percptions. The Primary design guideline was to capture the essential components that makes up the quality of space found within monasteries through out the world without all the religious references. The Project was built for a comunnity of 35 people that lives in a self sustaining building complex that includes: Dorms,Offices,Workshops,Classrooms and Experiential Spaces.

X.PO. Gateway-WEST I-CONnect Description

The Exposition Line is currently expanding at the Moment from Culver City all the way to Santa Monica Near the pier. The idea is that this station brings a new mode of transportationto a rather underrated tourist city. Though SantaMonica's main tourist source is from people visitingLos Angeles Itself, Santa Monica is still capableof sustaining a self-Tourist Driven Economy, and it certainly has the potential to rival costal citiessuch as Sydney in terms of Tourist both International and domestic revenue. The project is to focus heavily on structure to create a Multi-site, Multi Purpose Conference/Residential/Trainstation Hub.

Structural Detail (Core TO Exoskeleton)

CON-sumption Structural Detail (Core) THe Structural Ambition was to test steel to it’s possible limits. With most of the building hold it self up with the suport of 4 traditional steel towers. The Exoskeleton steel would act as a secondary structure and also lateral support for all the internal floor plates. The skin would be a glass, which is custom made. The Skin would change its opacity depending on the program.

Whitnall highway in during the mid 20th century was planned to be one of the main connecting arteries between san fernando valley and Downtown Los Angeles, with it being abnadoned, it has become an anomaly within certain sections of the had-been highway. The project was to implement a housing masterplan dividing the part of the highway into parcels and for individual housing projects.

Bertula Parasitus Description

We can't simply work construct buildings without first understanding the material it was made from. for this project our group has chosen study the combined forces of tension and compression, we then come up with a shape that bears both of the forces within. We then experiment with different materials to see which has the best flexibility, materials such as acryllic, paper, wood etc... along with the fact that it could be scaled up and still stand on its on. Wood was the best contneder.

l Description Limitation

Material Limitation

ood

Plywood is a manufactured wood panel made from thin sheets of wood veneer. It is one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible, inexpensive, workable, re-usable, and can usually be locally manufactured. Plywood is used instead of plain wood because of its resistance to cracking, shrinkage, splitting, and twisting/warping, and its general high degree of strength.

Site Elevation

Plywood layers (called veneers) are glued together with adjacent plies having their grain at right angles to each other. Cross-graining has several important benefits: it reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the edges, it reduces expansion and shrinkage equating to improved dimensional stability, and it makes the strength of the panel consistent across both directions. There are usually an odd number of plies so that the sheet is balanced—this reduces warping. Because of the way plywood is bonded (with grains running against one another and with an odd number of composite parts) it is very hard to bend it perpendicular to the grain direction.

Arid Lands Institute. Description

The Semester long research class had one simple goal. Gather Geographic and demographic information of the San Fernando Landscpe in Souther California ( A rough 200 square mile Area) and impriove on the drought that has been going on in California for quite a while. THe idea was to create modules (BMP, best management Practice) among the street scapes of this area and apply to them appropriately to their pertaining location in accordance to the research made in ARCGIS and City Engine.
