INTEGRATED STREETSCAPES PASADENA CITY COLLEGE ARCHITECTURE 12B COLEMAN GRIFFITH SPRING 2010
INTEGRATED STREETSCAPES The site for this installation is located in Westwood, Los Angeles; the site incorporates a strip of the famous Westwood wrapping into Lindbrook. The current site is home to a parking garage, as well as a strip of restaurants.
Floor Plan
The main reference for the design of the pavillion was the idea of marching, because of the nearby Federal Building. Thus, the task was to create a design that would lead metro passengers from the intended metro entrance towards the Protest Square on the end of Lindbrook.
Street Designs
After researching on the Derry March/Massacre; the two characteristics: blockade and flow, were recognized. Their interaction results in a Gradual Accumulation. Which becomes the clear Binucular Concept.

SURFACE AND FORM PASADENA CITY COLLEGE ARCHITECTURE 12B NEIEL NORHEIM SPRING 2010
SURFACE AND FORM The site for this installation is located in Uptown New York; the site where UNStudio’s Villa-NM once stood. The now destroyed Villa NM is the main reference for the design of the pavillion, primarily in the creation of the individual tile. The tile is then turned into a module, which becomes a pavilion for the displaying of architectural projects.

Pasadena City College Arch10B Neiel Norheim Spring 2010 Description
Introduces the concept of NURBS modeling and the construction and refinement of self-similar curve geometries; as well as: output techniques, preparation for laser cutting, and model building.
Objective
By setting simple rule sets that are enacted in a repetitively development of architectural forms begin to take on an organic feel. Operations include drafting in rhino, rebuilding, lofting/offsetting, etc. By utilizing NURBS programs and a simple rule set, the creation of a shape not unlike those naturally found in nature are born. Development takes place in the 2-D state, beginning with a single geometric line, which is then manipulated and lofted into a 3-dimensional surface, and eventually shape.
