This project originated from an exploration of Yasutaka Funakoshi’s works, which embody dark romanticism in fashion and its influence on the goth-lolita subculture in Japan.

We sought to bring these elements to the forefront, by integrating thereby stitching architectural components into the urban fabric of Omotesando, Japan. The architecture is designed in layers with high computational complexity to reflect Alice Auua’s philosophy. These layers are applied to void spaces designated for human activity.

Given that Alice Auua operates as a pop-up store in tattoo shops without a permanent location, we aimed to create a structure that could move to various locations and seamlessly connect to the surrounding infrastructure.

Within the evocative realm of Dark Romanticism, the interplay of death and mortality weaves seamlessly with the mysterious depths of the unconscious mind, giving rise to narratives that unfold against a backdrop of isolation and alienation, enveloped by a gothic atmosphere rich in symbolism and allegory; it is within this haunting aesthetic, guided by Romantic themes, that the grotesque and the uncanny emerge as visceral expressions of the human condition, echoing the dual sense of isolation and alienation pervasive in the exploration of these profound and unsettling themes.

In literature, the exploration of dark themes has created emotional and physical reactions from people around the world. By taking the feeling created by these themes, the architecture of this project was manipulated to form spaces and experiences that represent the symbols and aesthetics of dark romanticism. By splitting the programs and building into individual but interlocked bands, the project lends itself to creating specific experiences for guests to go through. Details such as the winding circulation, single type structure, and darker toned materials all lend to creating an atmosphere that helps guests have a deeper understanding of the gothic atmosphere, and how it connects to the world around them as they leave the building.

fracturing of wurtzite lattice to fill water

The project brief involved designing a public pool on Goose Island, Chicago. The initial concept drew inspiration from ice crystals and the way they break into various spaces. The built forms and site organization were derived from the wurtzite lattice structure found in ice. These additive and subtractive spaces create diverse pools and programmatic areas. Additionally, the project incorporates natural water treatment systems to purify river water, ensuring a sustainable and eco-friendly approach.

skate energy states of empty headed humans first rooftop skate park in India

The site is located in Hyderabad, India and its first of its kind. The client brief was to build a skate park over an existing structure. The client, an experienced skater, had a clear understanding of the desired flow for skaters. We came up with two iterations and one was selected. The existing building was robust, featuring 3’x3’ columns, post-tensioned beams with a depth of 2 feet, and an 8-inch-thick slab. It also had a strong basement raft connected to piles, necessary due to the predominantly clay soil from a nearby water body.

The structural engineer top slab, where the could support 120 tons. the false slab, designed of skateboards, weighed concrete and was 3 inches slab had a rough finish, its durability and ability park’s demands. And norms.

engineer confirmed that the skate park was to be laid, tons. This was essential as designed to absorb the impact weighed 97 tons of reinforced inches thick since the existing finish, further contributing to ability to withstand the skate And adheres to local building

additive maufacturing

higher order mathematics and logical structurs

Add meaning as you sense.

The algorithm is multi-layered, starting with the lofting of primary shapes in 3D space to form the base structure. Using a minimum spanning tree algorithm, it connects nodes on the surface to create nerve-like tubes. Additionally, the algorithm mathematically subdivides the surface into implicit grid, enhancing the material’s strength and resistance to shear, bending, and torsion.
