01 Insertion Assignment: Construct
a space that inserts into the
Alms Building
of
DAAP
that will provide a function to the occupants, increasing the
usage and enjoyment of the building.
Concept: I used the terms clamping and nesting at the inception of this project as the means of inserting my space into the south side of the Alms Building.
through my exploration of manipulating light through shutters,
I discovered how natural light can control different func-
tioning spaces to create new neccessary environments while creating tension and yeilding to circulation.
To begin I made 7 models, each representing a way of insertion and a means to do so within the floors of the Sketch model o. I choose the clamping method; The space occupiable became nesting.
An Exploration of Light
Although I wanted the design to consist of rotating shutters that could be manipulated based on the solar path of the sun and the users preference, much more clean and efficient.

discovered that attatching them would be
Having the two louvres be interactive would lead to frequent-
maintenance and the risk management involved would outway it’s efficiency.

02 Plane We
were given the task to experiment with intersecting planes to create unique
moments and interesting spaces.
I
utilized my idea of keeping a grid overlay on
my planes so when i ommited quadrangles one could easily view my faces and see clean unity.
The strategically placed apertures allowed for ones eye to navigate
through moments of the spaces.

rendering the one point, two point, and

04 K unsthaus B regenz Peter Zumthor/ Art Museum I was given the task to study, digram, and replicate in my own style plans, elevations, and sections to inspire my personal ilm instutute, gaining expirience with this precedent allowed me to push my design further realistically.
The most interesteting aspect of this building
to me
is the frosted teal glass windows that create a mysterious facade surroundung the art enclosed within.
I analyzed these four pane clusters and created details. These details led me to the realization of my strong bond with the engineering behind the design.

This semester long project takes us through the design process from inception to presenting a completed building with diagrams to a potential funder.
We started with site analysis along with visiting the site to fully understand the site that our building will be inhabiting. By recording
nearby precedents and schematic information we began the programming process and developed every space that is required inside the institute.
The collage of the collaged rooms allowed my to expiriment with circulation throughout the building as well as planning out what
rooms go on what floor and where. at
After many massing studys were implemented and brought to the third dimension, I came up with a design

I am intrigued by the use of chevrons to manipulate the eye to think the building is larger and taller than it actually it.

0 6 Y e a tm a n ’ s C o v e P a v i l i o n I began with an Idea of SUBTRACTION. I wanted to explore Cubist Brutalism and how a Boolean Difference can pursue an order and to create a beautiful strong design.
My first iteration, like many projects, began with subtraction based on tuition, thus realizing that an
order had to come into play as to how
I methodically make my subtractions. I realized that my Plane Cube from First Year was on the top
of the class because it possesed a method on how it throughout my design process.
I cut my apertures, not just at random like my peers did. I created a PARTI and stuck to
I created at least 50 small Rhino Models and selected the ones that had the most intriguing moments. I
ranked these and came to the conclusion that the best design had circulation and places to rest. will see many times as the golden model to base other ones off of.

I rotated the three rectangles split from the original square to face the solar path.
I PUSHED my design farther and played with the size of these pavilions, and based off their geometries I decided which ones would have interior spaces, only exterior, and both.
RENDERINGS SHOW realistically how my designs will stand in reality so I created many examples. My personal favorite phase of design is creating renderings because that is when the geometries gain the personality of real buildings!
