SECTION
The production of sections is considered to be primordial in the practice of architecture. Sections are often used not only as representational methods, but are also used in architectural didactic practices. Though the production of this section, we aimed to learn the issues of spatial development and sequential thresholds. It is also the result of a study of the spatial hierarchies and lighting phenomena in Vitra Haus, project by Herzog and de Meuron architects.
ASSEMBLAGE
The development of this assemblage was done through the composition of buildings that respondeded to the issues of sequence and threshold. By the production of this project, we attemped to acquire the knowdelge of spatial design through the use of sectional mathods of representation and concepts. This a

of Peter Zumthor, Zaha Hadid and Herzog and de Meuron. It aims to create a phenomenist linear experience by the use of
FACADE
This facade is the result of the formal study of the courtyard of Santa Maria della Pace by Bramante. The formal aspects of this facade include the use of proportions and vertical geometries, that are applied as an aesthetic feature. However, this concept, along with the idea of the courtyard as a ventilation method are applied to solve spatial issues.
ARCHIVE
The design of this NYC arhcive is the result of a syntesis of the fundamental concepts of precendt translation, sequence and threshold development, formal studies and facade. Following the concepts extracted from Vitra Haus by Herzog and de Meuron, this pavilion follows the strategies of stacking and radial rotation.
