In efforts of replacing the old Berkeley CED commencement canopy, a graduate|undergraduate studio seminar led by Lisa Iwamoto was enacted to design, fabricate, and install a new courtyard-sited intervention. The final design and composition took shape as a ‘point cloud’ derived from dissimilar triangular modules and smaller circular modules, which indicates connection points.

The natatorium is a space of movement, a space of progression, a space of flow. The act of swimming is a kinetic experience, in which we move as the volume moves with and against us. There is a visual connection emphasizing focus and periphery. Space blends with a gradient of light, tone, and form.

Smooth from Straited.

The duality between the smooth and straited creates a space in which one moves and transitions, creating an evolving perspective beyond the act of swimming.

The thin plan allows for axial progression with programmati c space lining the primary circulation path. Interior program and the necessi ty for natural light inform the depressions on the eastern and western facade, which inform the materiality change [metal cladding - channel glass].
