Digilog Instructor: Ryan Martinez Woodbury Thesis 2021

In a time where digital items have monetary value and land is being sold in virtual worlds, we must give space in architecture to the digital realm. No longer just a tool for working, but a space to merge our thinking between digital and analog and how we experiment and work with scale, materials, representation, images, and photography. Through the lens of a gallery exhibiting a project which questions compositional physics and small lots, this thesis will collapse the digital and analog into a single idea and test how we think about, talk about, and perceive architecture in today’s modern world. The use of material is very important in Architecture and can be said to further the ideas of the designer beyond just the form. Sometimes the material used can have more importance to the overall design than the form of the building. Though in model making material is typically used as an abstraction tool to allow more focus on the form of the design. Typically the same materials are used throughout model building just in different and clever ways. Throughout this project one will find many of these same materials such as bass wood, blue foam, plastics, plaster, and some others not mentioned. These materials create an abstraction and allows the project to be autonomous, though typically rooted in a context, and allows for a conversation about the formal quality of the design. It is important in Digilog to use

these same materials as they are familiar and recognized by many and allows room for a conversation about the design as one would with a physical model.

Small Gallery

This gallery consists of sculptural objects with the form coming from the idea of compositional physics. Through the use of primitive geometry, familiar objects, and containers, physical forces are applied which create the forms shown in this gallery. Each sculpture, based on the containers and physical forces, show new forms being created out of a cluster of primitive geometries. The geometries are larger than their respective containers which causes a smooshing process which forces the individual geometries to interact with each other creating a new form. This gallery is a formal study in which it’s process is used in the other galleries for the (4) different building types. We can not deny that today we live in a society that lives and dies by images, whether stills or videos, it is more important today than it ever has been in our history. Architecture has not escaped this move towards an image based society, as every design and project at some point has to become a digital image. This cannot be escaped. Nowadays the image of a model and how it is composed is almost more important than the model itself. Physical models are typically large objects which take up alot of space and many people will never be able to experience the model in person which is why the image has become so important. Though many digital images of models are not

recognized as photographed images but rather “renders’’ of the model. Typically these renders are recognized very quickly as digitally produced images. Digilog attempts to take the ideas of photography ( composition, lighting, views, and lens) to produce photographs and not renders.

Medium Gallery

This is an ⅛” scale model gallery consisting of (4) different site and building typologies. With there being less and less developable land each site takes on the small odd lot and uses the formal strategy of compositional physics for each building. Each model consists of typical model material of blue rigid foam, abs 3d printed plastic, and cnc milled wood. The use of familiar material and the space of the gallery allows for an abstraction of each model to give way to a discussion about the design and formal strategy of each building type. When thinking about context it typically comes to mind the location in which the proposed building/project is located. This idea of context does take place within the gallery projects shown but this idea of context is different than that of the context for Digilog. This idea is somewhat of a meta idea as it is a place for which the project and its project context to take place and live in. It is a place which is separated from the actual context of the project which is a familiar space to many in the analog world and known as the gallery, exhibition space, and studio. These spaces are not only effective in the real world but also effective within Digilog and perform the exact same job. It is a space which is separated from the real world and allows for discussions of ideas and theories before being realized, if it ever

is, in the build or real world. It is also a space which allows every project to be autonomous as the project could be in any gallery in any place (digital or analog) and allow for the same discussions and ideas. That is why it is important for digilog to be a project which is showcased within a gallery, exhibition, or studio space.

Large Gallery

The ½” scale model gallery is a focus on the (4) building types and gives a view of more detail in the tectonics of each building as well as the material used. In this gallery it is important that each model was made at a ½” scale as it shows the difference in scale of each building, from the adu to the highrise, in one room. The materials used are again familiar to model making and consist of plaster, bass wood, laser cutting, milled foam, and casting. The use of 3d printed scaled figures allows for one to see the scale of the buildings from a human model. This gallery also consists of a photo wall displaying each model shot in a studio from different views. Some of the aspects which put the analog and the digital on polar opposite sides of the spectrum is their monetary value and physical output. Both of these are represented typically in the analog and not as much in the digital. Within Digilog there are multiple ways to give the project a value and an output which fit directly between the analog and digital on the spectrum. One of the ways is through, though a current fad it’s not going anywhere, NFTs and blockchain technology. By turning an image into an NFT it not only costs money, which can add up pretty quickly, but it’s also written on a digital ledger (the blockchain Ethereum) which uses a large amount of energy to create. Now the Digilog model not only has a monetary cost and energy output but also a potential to have a monetary value

if bought. This idea is not very prevalent in analog and digital models which really places Digilog in its place on the spectrum, as it has now given the potential to make money on a model but also written the image into a digital ledger/contract which has real world consequences. There are other methods which have been around and are more familiar which fall into the category of Digilog. The most common way is the buying of models or images as entourage in order to enhance a design/project. Within the Digilog model/idea though, one could sell their own context models as these models (if the Digilog idea is followed) should be of no place and autonomous. Though one does not have to follow this path, there is a potential value/output which places Digilog on the spectrum between analog and digital.

XL Gallery The final gallery is a 1:1 model scale gallery consisting of three models of different materials and mediums. This gallery allows for an experience of the size and material at a full scale level. The first model is a section of the urban-multifamily building and made up of milled foam blocks, stucco, osb plywood, and brushed aluminum. The importance of using building materials in this model is to give an experience of the building if realized outside of the gallery. The next model is a section from the urban-highrise building made from cardboard, osb plywood, and metal wire. This model uses the familiar material of cardboard in a way not typical to building but one which relates to our past as children and building cardboard forts. It also allows for a focus not on the material but on the shear size of this small section from the building. The last model is a projection of the ADU onto a flat surface and displays each elevation of the building. This allows for one to experience the whole building as realized outside of the gallery.

This studio explored the potential for architects to innovate within a highly defined building envelope. We developed designs for micro housing within the context of the Los Angeles region. The studio encouraged architecture that retained its own identity while integrating and filtering its environment. There was an integral focus on passive design and the interface between construction systems developed and environmental systems required for the functionality of the program and achieving net zero energy. Materials and methods of construction were questioned as we strived to present new environmentally responsible and economical solutions for making space. One of the biggest inhibitors to housing is cost, and this studio strived to provide detailed solutions that were mindful of their environmental and economically feasibility. The studio researched methods of prefabrication, off site fabrication, and construction as a part of this questioning. This project looked at American vernacular housing when coming up with the form of the housing units. Different building masses were taken and combined to make a series of new housing building forms. This method allows for a new form but one which is not far from and a nod to much of the housing forms here in the United States. This project took the opportunity to look at and question building material and methods. The wall section was challenged and asked if the wall section was

minimized could this help with construction timing and costs. It was decided that CLT would be the main structural material and all utilities would be run underground and up through an interior utility wall made from polycarbonate panels. The insulation would then be blown on the outside of the structure using a mixture of paper pulp and plaster. The insulation would now have a dual purpose as its original function as well as an aesthetic finish to the structure. The project starts with a single unit ADU for a residential backyard. Then a four unit residential housing in the rural area of Desert Hot Springs, CA. Finally there is a 60 unit complex in the area of Palm Desert, CA.

Meet Me In The Street Instructor: Alex Maymind Woodbury Fall 2020

This studio examined the cultural and architectural context of Los Angeles in order to ask several overlapping questions: what is the value and definition of “urban context” in a metropolis such as LA? How does architecture rub up and produce friction with larger discourses of urban studies, policy and land management? What aspects of architectural thought are forced to adjust to bigger questions and concepts from these adjacent disciplines, if at all? In order to take on these questions we investigated a formal and urban typology identified as “very long skinny buildings”: buildings which are more in dialogue with the experience of driving in an automobile along LA’s boulevards, streets, and freeways than any specific architectural tradition. In order to take on this problem research was completed through the writing of theorist such as Michael Sorkin and Reyner Banham and their takes on Los Angeles. As well as a deep dive into domesticity, the nuclear family, and the history of corridors, hallways, and other long skinny architectural devices. The program of the building is a live-work community which questions the nuclear family as well as organizing space around work and living. This building looked at how architectural devices could organize and separate spaces. Specifically looking at the column as not only a structural device but as a way to divide and organize space. So a look at privacy was done and how to blur the lines of public and private when using columns as a space maker instead of traditional walls. A column study

was completed and decided to use different column designs throughout the building to separate different programs. It was also decided to make the columns thicker on the ground floor and thinner on each additional floor moving up in order to open space and breakdown the divide between public and private. The circulation was pushed to the outside and split between elevators and stairs. The elevators and stairs skipped floors and or were links between only two floors giving endless possibilities to move through the building. These links could be used to move quickly out the building or to take leisure strolls with different routes each time. This project should not just be seen as a live-work building but as an extension of the street moving people between spaces and blocks in a city known for its use of cars rather than walking.

Public Paths, Streets, Point of View

Using the Pedregulho housing complex, by Alfonso Eduardo Reidy, as a precedent there were many analysis done to help with the design of the long skinny building. The image above was a recreation of the site plan and then looking at different views throughout the site. The image to the right is a recreation of the section which gives a good understanding of the common vs private space in the building. It also helps to show how much can be created in such a long skinny building.

What if the library is no longer a place focused on checking out items or the use of free computers and internet. What if the library was a place for people to congregate and just be in that space. It became a place for people to gather for discussions or to come individually for reflection and contemplation. The library was no longer defined by what is in the library but rather the discussion and ideas it creates. The idea would be space for large groups or individuals, open areas or small private spaces, indoor or outdoor, voids and places between floors and walls. The Library of Philosophy would be an exploration of ideas and the interaction of people and space. The roof of the building meets the ground inviting all people to come and interact with the library. The roof moves between buildings and cycles from roof to floor throughout the footprint. This change in function represents the fluidity of philosophical thinking and discussions. It moves with the discussion changing from one questions and idea to the next. The roof also connects all of the separate masses to bring everything in as a whole. The separate masses becoming the many categories of philosophy and the roof connecting them all into once discipline. The roof acts as an outdoor space for the public to wander and wonder about the many questions of philosophy. The outdoor space then leads to the collection area which one would find a vast amount of resources on the discipline of philosophy. The collection space then moves to the open discussion area

where people can be found interacting and talking amongst themselves. Throughout the space one will find many nooks and crannies acting as single contemplation areas. On the ground floor patrons will move through spaces with thick concrete walls and through spaces of thin slatted walls. Each visitor will find their own place or space whether that be outside or inside, alone for reflection, or in open areas sharing the space with fellow patrons.
