Case Study: Sukkah
A Sukkah is a temporary dwelling created for a week-long Jewish festival called Sukkot. My group and I wanted to create a space that gives shelter but also connects people to the outdoor elements. We used natural material (lumber) and used a stacking method to create open spaces. We filled in certain areas with smaller pieces of lumber to create density and came up with a pattern to create movement. We realized that even though we are using a durable material, we still created the feelings of movement and impermanence.
Diagramming Ordering Principles
This case study was to diagram any ordering principle that I saw within these pictures of various corporate offices. First, I traced the picture into a simplified version. Then I created diagrams showing the ordering principle.
Above are close-ups of the tracing and diagram of The Disney Store Headquarters.

SketchUp
“Photo-matching” Tadao Ando’s, Rin’s Gallery. Deduce from multiple photographs provided how each aspect of form relates three dimensionally to the other to define this entry courtyard space in Ando’s Rin’s Gallery
Measure existing living space and create a 3dimensional model on SketchUp. Then create an alternate space for better livability.
My bedroom furniture is arranged to open up the area. My inspiration for the dÊcor comes from the midcentury and Ray and Charles Eames. Once again, I’m using more of a soft color palette mixed with cool and warm colors. It feels very relaxing and open in the bedroom.
