JUDGE’S CHAMBERS
FT. WORTH, TX
A think tank is defined as an institute, corporation, or group organized for interdisciplinary research. The Judges Chamber’s in Ft Worth is addressed as a think tank that acts as an urban mask throughout the site. It becomes an unknown object that explores the city layering vertically and connects all the city layers. The two most important prominent buildings that interact with this think tank are the TCC building and the courthouse, both been public buildings, one is a more a civic building and the other more general. Addressing those different kinds of public in this think tank it provides spaces for the use of both TCC and the courthouse. The think tank becomes a middle ground between them by using public layering and spatial ordering that is seen vertically throughout the building and the TCC garden.

19 CALLE
GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA
This project started with two membranes woven together to create an interdependent module sequent. The membrane surface developed based on the idea of branching through the technique of bifurcation. As we analyzed the site it was evident that 19 Calle was treated as two separate and unrelated halves. In response, a uniting element was created between the two halves of the street which implements both the ideas of interdependency and branching. Now covering 19 Calle are two interdependent modules the undulate in section down the length of the street. This increases the awareness of the special volumes created by the membrane.
