Collective Housing
ARCH 201: Architecture Studio 3 (Fall 2022)
Instructor: Rudabeh Pakravan
Individual Work, 2022.09-12
The project is a collective housing, which is generated from the observations of Broadway, Oakland, CA. Staring off from the urban experience when standing at the Broadway. The design further developed from a conceptual chunk model of foam. And then it expanded and grown into a collective housing.
The design is a townhouse which consisted of 45 units in the site area of 0.8 acre. It is featured in bringing both sides of views of Broadway together. By providing a unique and vivid living condition, it aims to further challenge the rigid city grid.

The project is derived from the observation of Broadway in downtown Oakland. am interested in different perspectives shifting at one spot at the same time. And to challenge to the rigid city planning. The two collages illustrate the connection of perspectives after the shearing of grid layouts.
Unite d habitation and gifu housing by SANNA are the two case studies influence the design as well.
The diagrams demonstrate the investigation of connectivity of perspectives from interlocking of two spaces, as well as the folding and unfolding of the façade.

ARCH 200A: Introduction to Architecture Studio 1 (Fall 2021)
Instructor: Kristen Sidell
Individual Work, 2021.09-12
This project is about four quadrants of spaces are aligned along a linear shifted spine, within each quadrant, the ground plane has varying degrees of elevation to allow different experiences of the sculptural interior form and variation of light.
The shifted spine has a rotational quality that organizes the sculptural roofs. It is achieved by different size of spaces rotating around the spine crossing at the central area. The spaces are arranged in different heights to create a sense of spatial complexity and it is a response to the varying heights of the roof, which is represented in this unfolded elevation.
