Bi-Polar is a project like many others emerging from the discussion of performance and sensation through an architectural skin. While there are projects addressing similar discussions, Bi-Polar embraces an emphasis on the distinction between two competing directions. Just like bipolar disorder, this prototype is argued in two different moods, different personalities, you can psychotically switch from one to the other. One personality, the exterior side, is about performance whose surface logic is resolved parametrically, as a rain water collecting instrument that takes the water into bladders integrated between the two skins. These bladders also serve as heating and cooling devices producing light and temperature affects. The other personality, the interior surface, is emotionally designed and more interested in matters of sensation whose surface logic is created by a sensual pleated skin, resembling silk and/or leather, producing nuances and affordances that become ornament, pattern and furniture.

01 Bi-Polar
Bi-Polar began as a performative wall system that reacted differently to exterior and interior spaces. We realized we had to confront the fact that we had two different surface logics, so rather than trying to blend these conditions, we decided to emphasize the difference indicating two current design directions. This resulted in two polar opposite geometries with opposite personalities that strongly defined exteriority and interiority. Bi-Polar can then be explained more effectively in three systems working together: (1) The tessellated parametric logic performative exterior, (2) the loose free-flowing sensual interior, and (3) the in-between performative bladder system that mediates between the two extremes.

Final Prototype
Crafted Panels explores material formation methods that integrate analog modeling techniques with digital tools to produce an output of forms that achieve high complexity and provides an alternative material forming method to other 3D modeling techniques. A series of panel prototypes are produced from manipulations of image scans of an initial basswood hand carved panel. Beginning with a handcarved panel allows for a freedom in design that is achieved through simple intuitive moves that are applied directly on the material. By scanning to “digitize� the initial model, the new genre of formed panels registers new data from traces of the material properties of the basswood which begin to add a new layer of complexity to the digital forms. A series of digitally manipulated images are produced to use as alpha textures for the software Z-Brush in order to generate 3D surfaces for further manipulation using the software.

The final prototype takes advantage of the additive process of 3D printing to produce a prototype that can be deployed as a panel with potential for mass customization while embracing the material qualities of the extruded plastic filament. Prototypes 3-4: These prototypes explore the aesthetic qualities of two different methods for the translation of a first set of digitally manipulated images (A height field Rhino operation and a ZBrush alpha mapping). Prototypes 6-7: Part of the experimentation also considers the process of molding and casting to produce panels that become more durable and takes advantage of different material properties.

The Pelvis is inspired by the stacking of human vertebrae. Biological systems employ efficient packing geometries, and the Pelvis takes advantage of this. Not only does it interlock as a vertical “spinal� stack, but as a linear wall array or a wall stack. A scaled down version of the pelvis was cast to create various iterations which suggest the possibility for the module to be streamlined in the industry.

Pelvis explores the re-imaging of the brick module into a non-standard form. It can be seen as the contemporary brick that interlocks and made possible through use of CNC solutions.

04 ColorFlow
ColorFlow explores innovative methods for generating and manipulating new genres of form for potential use in architecture. The project’s investigation negotiates aperture in architecture through hyper-articulated surfaces and color as a way to accentuate and articulate openings. RealFlow, which is an advanced simulation software for fluid and body dynamics that allows high control and visualization of the behavior of fluids and rigid bodies, was the tool used to explore the generation of new hyper-articulated forms. The software also allows the dynamics of the fluids to be mapped onto the forms in a color gradient to show intensity of movement. Encoding this data on the surface of the final product was the primary intent for the integration of color within the project. The secondary intent of color was to produce a visual effect or pattern that would accentuate the opening. Due to physical limitations, the prototypes adopt the second idea of color and gradiate from a high resolution rippled surface to a lower resolution geometry.

High Line
Dancing Void is a proposal for a new dance performance center in New York City adjacent to the High Line. The building serves as a new connection from the ground to the High Line, and it allows the public and daily users of the building to engage in a series of visual connections within a central organizing void. These visual connections essentially cause a subversion of the idea of the “performer,� as the users of the building are on stage for the public within the void and the void becomes a stage of curious tourists
or bystanders to the daily user. In order to achieve the visual connections, dance rehearsal studios and other program are organized around the central figural void of the building. The language of the void is one of movement which suggest a dancing nature of the form which takes inspiration from the daily use of the building’s function.

Fractured Box is intervention on Science Hill at the Yale University campus to serve as an extension of the Peabody Museum of Natural Science and provide information to the local community. The building acts as a threshold to mediate and activate the underutilized space between the grassy field of the hill and formal courtyard. The “Box” responds to the formality of the language of the courtyard and faces it while the “Fracture” responds to the unruly nature of the field it faces. This fractured side is 72 79

07 House in Two Parts YSOA Core Studio, Spring 2013 Location: 32 Lilac St. New Haven, CT Type: Residential Prototype Critic: Joeb Moore, Amy Lelyveld Team B: Emau Vega, Elena Baranes, Hiba Bhatty, Zach Huelsing, Ross McClellan, Philip Nakamura, Mahdi Sabbagh Primary Tasks: Elevations, Graphics

Our proposal at 32 Lilac Street addresses the challenge of designing an affordable home in one of the city’s many abandoned “sliver lots,” long and narrow lots, due to the city’s restricting building codes for such lots. The design conceptually posits a three story house in front and a two story house in back stitched together by the staircase in order to maximize square footage and create generous living spaces, thus resulting in a House in Two Parts.
By using a split-level configuration and pulling the first floor slab away from the front wall, we were able to achieve a three-story house in front while maintaining a height that is within building code height restrictions. This sectional strategy liberates the basement, creating an intimate bonus den space that receives natural light from above. At the ground level, the elevated kitchen space enjoys visual access both to the street in front and the yard behind the house.
48
The house opens to an enclosed backyard that functions as an extension of the living room. On the upper floor, we have minimized circulatory space and organized storage and bathrooms in an order that would yield a spacious master bedroom in the front overlooking the street and two bedrooms in the back of the house.

The diagram of a house in two parts illustrates a prototypical model that has flexibility to expand and contract to adapt to different needs for program and site restrictions of other nonconforming “sliver lots” in New Haven. Thus a House in Two Parts becomes the model for the deployment of similar affordable homes throughout New Haven’s “sliver lots.”

“Since 1967, the Yale School of Architecture has offered its first-year students the unique chance to design and build a structure as part of their graduate education. Unique among architecture schools, this program is mandatory for all members of the class. The Building Project results in a single-family house in an economically depressed neighborhood.” -YSOA

This year’s winning proposal for the building project is located on 118 Greenwood Street. As a class, we were part of the construction phase of the winning team’s house. Involvement on this project included: prefabrication, foundation, framing to the first and second floor and partial contribution to the design of the “hearth” of the house.

Formal Analysis
YSOA Core Curriculum, Fall 2012 Critic: Peter Eisenman, Matt Roman
01 | Brunelleschi San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito – Florence Italy Looking at Brunelleschi’s churches of Santo Spirito and San Lorenzo, one can read a critical difference of the churches in the way the side aisle columns and side chapels created are articulated. In Santo Spirito, the engaged column and round side chapels give the sides of the church a reading of a continuous surface. The rounded niches also create gaskets of space that cross each other to create a network of inseparable spaces that make up the overall space of the church. In San Lorenzo, the pilasters of the side chapels act as frames to the side chapels. This gives the reading of a plane which is broken up by the side chapels which are disjointed from the rest of the longitudinal space of the church. 02 | Bramante Cortile of Santa Maria della Pace – Rome, Italy Palazzo Ducale – Urbino, Italy (Luciano Laurana) Bramante’s corner condition at the Cortile of Santa Maria della Pace can be seen as a corner being concealed by a compressing force. This compression results in the corner column being reduced to a thin ‘thread’ pilaster and also helps in the reading of the cortile as a continuous surface that wraps around the central courtyard. This is different from the corner at Palazzo Ducale in Urbino where the corner is concealed by a layering of elements. Here, the corner column is offset from the rest of the grid to add an extra half column at each end and then placing a pilaster in between. Thus the courtyard here reads as four planes framed by pilasters with no corner where the planes meet. 01 | Brunelleschi
03| The Project Revisited Synthesis of previous diagrams The idea of superimposition is one that showed itself several times in the semester as we analyzed various projects. Most of these projects had some form of superimposition, whether it was superimposed motifs, facades, or plans. For my final diagram I wanted to illustrate the idea of superimposition by overlaying previous diagrams.
