Generative Concepts . . . . in design, primarily in architecture, are about understanding design as a spatial form with internal activity, but to also understand this premise, as an organism that evolves from natural site conditions, evolution and mutations. This condition blends and combines the programmatic essence into a melting pot of transitions and circulation. I believe that this design philosophy will have extreme effects on how the body, or should I say, the user forms and maneuvers through space. This can invoke visual and physical perceptions of internal and external experiences. Nature and evolution generate structure and spatial programs, as human behavior perform censorial experiences that fuse through spatial luidity. I believe that this generative term also gives birth to new experiences and visual connections that will be established from this generative behavior. Whatever changes occur internally, will have an affect on the external experiences and context.

Geoffrey Gibson, Ethen Wood

The project is located within the City of New York. The typology is an Performance Art School, Museum & Performance Theater. The site will surround the refurbished High-Line promenade that will engage the school and its users to create an atmosphere that will allow off site visitors to aspire the activity of the High-Line. My main concept was to create a series of plains and beams that perform in a manner through connections. A formal tectonic is created that will then later inluence the process of how certain programs are created and how the building will perform.

This project aims to uncover urban trends that are adapted from local news and information articles. Gathering tangible data from media outlets and then applying conditions to extract the intangible results by way of scenario planning. By using these tactics, the schematic process of urban and Architectural development can proceed. I wanted to unveil some basic habits of health issues dealing with the sprawl of fast-food eateries in certain city areas and how the basic schemes of architectural planning in an urban setting can change these daily habits.

Fast Food Zoning

PROJECT 01 02 03 04 05 06 07

This catalogue is developed by a series of parameters that were applied during the research and investigation of the news article and city analysis. These parameters will alter the shape and performance within each catalogue piece.

37 Project 02

Corlandus Lang B ARH

The assessment from this mapping scenario, separating congested areas where food eateries are close in proximity have now been separated to cover more area of land. By this action, coverage areas have increased, along with the addition of supermarket locations as an alternate choice amongst consumption.

Upon analysis of the mapping, we ind that users will indeed ind alternatives since these new

zoning ordinances are implemented to assure better land coverage which will force users to not travel as far to ind a particular eating source but allows them to choose healthier options close by.

This mapping alters the notion if the zoning ordinances take effect will stop the development Weaving Expanding Perforating Channeling

of new eateries within the conines of the city, therefore, forces users, such as, Seniors and Adults, to prefer quality goods over Fast Food, but teenagers may linger in other options.

41 Project 02

Corlandus Lang B ARH

Hypothetical After careful mapping and analysis of such scenarios, I have come to a conclusion that these outlooks present a social factor to accommodate community needs. Therefore, my proposal is to aim primarily toward the provision of an outdoor experience within or near open lots during downtimes of the day, such as, retail, community and transient areas.

These lots or temporary spaces will house a culinary experience while enjoying the spatial environment of the urban landscape within the city of Antioch, CA. The concept is to provide local Food Trucks along with small park-lets to engage in a social system that will beneit the community and food truck business

The project calls to design a semi-enclosed Info Kiosk for 5 users that covers an area of 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;X10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The structure will consists of slanted roofs made of tempered glass. Stainless steel fabricated structural components and a novel material such as GFRC panels. I thought of a method of fabrication and to use this concept to arrange a cohesive framework that adheres to structural and project speciications. The fabricated parts are made of stainless aluminum pieces that make up the structure and are connected by way of steel rods, washers and anchor bolts.

The San Francisco Museum of Performance and Design is situated near the corner of 3rd and Folsom, adjacent across from the San Francisco convention center. The building will contain, exhibits, retail, cafĂŠ, library, classrooms and auditorium. On a site proile of 38,400 SF, the building will sit 62ft above the busy streets of San Francisco, near the SOMA district. My concept was to create curtain walls and windows that will highlight areas if circulation and artistic features on display. The form of the building relates to the site proile and city ordinances that adhere building code and program layout. The exterior of the building will feature GFRC panels that are placed in a sequence to highlight repetition and verticality.

The project proposal will be to create a Nature Center to the south of Pierce Point Ranch at Point Reyes National Seashore near the trail head leading to Tomales Bay. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program will be to provide interpretive displays and educational programs for day-time visitors to Point Reyes. I developed an overall physical language of compression and expansion. Within the space, structure, design elements and experience can tie within the realm of how objects behave in a manner of expanding or compressing. Then by grafting this language to spatial entities that will alter the buildings performance.

This new direction reduces the unoccupied spaces to a single-shared environment between multiple parties. This type of living, in the project, manifested itself from the current demographics of the self-sustained community of Diamond Heights. This prohibits a thriving environment for its users in a social, economic, and diverse way of thinking by bringing these types of people together. A concept was developed on how the site is created based on establishing connectivity between the neighborhood and community park. The northern buildings are shaped according the city grid following the diamond heights Blvd. and the southern buildings are wrapped around the topography of the landscape. The southern buildings are broken into different masses to allow sunlight into the social promenade to become an active space.

Cities that were once a symbol of industrial society, such as Richmond, CA have now become distressed from urban decay, Isolation and pollution. Circumstances as to address these issues by way of breaking barriers, branching communities and re-purposing industrial sites. Thus to create a facility that will house educational and innovative workshops that will contribute to the health and wellness of the community and re-connect society and nature back together.

The concept came by utilizing access to an existing trail and site topography that allowed the connection between nearby communities to converge in a public zone where the learning aspect of community building and development can thrive.

This mapping indicates the overall air pollution that is distrusted across the north bay of a result of wind direction from the western direction toward the east. We see Reineryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are a major contributor to air pollution within the Bay area, along with fumes from cars and trucks. 168 Project 07 C FORM

Philosphy

Breaking the Norm “It starts with a straight line, and with that line you are able to manipulate it into an ininity of possibilities. We are all used to

visualizing perfection; straight lines, perfect angles, and uniied shapes. But, once in a while, it’s good for the human mind to relax and admire a structure that contains none of these standards.”

203 Thoughts

Corlandus Lang B ARH

Questions on spatial identities How can natural site conditions and evolution, have an effect on the end result of how a structure will inalize its position within the context of an area, and its surroundings? Will it become one with the area, or overtake it? If I were to take architectural plans, and place them inside of a piano, would you hear a harmonious sequence, or a sound of confusion? What is your take on this matter. Is architecture considered a harmony of rhythms based on the experiential design, or does design come before rhythm?

Philosophy

Food for thought “The spatial mind has its way of 3 dimensional inluences of

what it wants to become, until the luidity of its inal inhabitants

deine what the transitional spaces will be experienced as. The

people are the deinition of the space, not what the mind wants it to be. We control the circulation as the space controls our movement and transitions.”

“We bring life to the space as the space introduces the experiences to us. We touch, observe and inhale the surrounding inner workings as the space reveals its spectrum of asymmetrical voids. Our eyes breathe in each gradient of detail until the space deines itself as it’s supposed to be, an experiential factor of spatial exploration.”
