PREFACE
The coordinates are determined not by theoretical analyses implying universals but by a pragmatics composing of multiplicities and aggregates of intensities. Gilles Deleuze and FĂŠlix Guattari , A Thousand Plateaus
Modernism enforces a theory on universality, permanence and timelessness which brutally undermines the necessity for art and poetry in architecture. Post-modernism evokes a new sensibility towards aesthetics and function. Contemporary methodology has a DESIRE FOR AN IMPERFECT IMPERMANENT AND MISlT ARCHITECTURE WHICH is free of concern for any associated a priori truth. This portfolio is concerned with the factor of time and perception in architecture; an architecture that is durable in its emotional presence rather than just its physical presence. The literature of Franz Kafka and Jorge Borges endure through the unknown, mysterious and unreal. There is a desire for a current architecture that invokes new and unanticipated sensations through immediacy and intimacy. Architecture is no longer conceived as an immediately solvable EFlCIENCY PROBLEM 2ATHER IT IS INSPIRED BY THE h2HIZOMATICv relation between process and end-product of design. This portfolio attempts to arrive at new aesthetic composition in both the physical material and the graphical representation in order to achieve novel and spontaneous emotional results.

01 DESIGN STUDIOS SCI-Arc’s undergraduate program is aimed at educating young architects who will go on to lead the discipline as designers and question the status quo by searching for new models of ARCHITECTURAL INQUIRY 4HE PROGRAM ACHIEVES A mUID AND HOLISTIC approach through an emphasis on a wide range of conceptual and practical skills, from critical thinking to technical expertise. Advanced digital technologies and fabrication methods permeate the program and take advantage of SCI-Arc’s fabrication shops, ranging from 3D printers, CNC mills, and vacuum-forming machines to traditional forms of metal and wood working, as well as sophisticated automation and robotics facilities. The four parallel paths, Cultural Studies, Applied Studies, Visual Studies, and General Studies are crafted so as to develop a rigorous knowledge of the discipline. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on the development of THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT S PERSONAL GROWTH SELF REmECTION knowledge and critical engagement of architectural design issues, including not only design, but advanced visualization techniques, information technologies, systems integration, deep cultural interactions, and new ecological and sustainable approaches.

This studio works as a research laboratory for exploring programming as a means of generating conceptual and organizational models that transform the needs of the client into spatial paradigms. Primary elements in this shift include the manifestation of cultural institutions, social structures, and capital initiatives. By focusing on methods of organization, the traditional systems of order is transformed into renewed models of spatial interaction. In exploring the role of programming in architecture, the studio proposes formal organizations and their corresponding material form for a Musicians in Residency. 14

Main investigation examines the impact of structure and material systems on both site and building form. A greenhouse building in symbiosis with an amphitheater provides the physical and programmatic framework to focus on the tectonics of long-span structures.

CITY OPERATIONS: ARCHITECTURE IN CRITICAL SETTING MUSEUM OF MIS-RELATIONS
Museum of machinic ornithology (MOMO) takes the stated ambition of the studio as a prompt for developing a new type of museum. The dilemma, as such demands an architectural scheme that maintains intact aspects of the conventional museum type while reconceiving, even ambitiously taking on the task of wholesale reinvention of critical aspects of the museum type, museum experience, museum program and museum sensibility. MOMO challenges the inelastic institutional museum type. The traditional role of the museum as a collector | demonstrator of culture is seen as unproductive in this context, given the stated desire for a museum that encourages a new lifestyle and a generator of new experiences a critical part of this new museumscape.

This studio proposes to re-examine the possibilities of mutilated form generation as entity through the understanding of Rituals. Architecture with capital A, has been in too close relationship with many of the religious and social rituals. There is another history and evolution of rituals in relation to the bodies and their mutilations, human and animals alike. These MISFITS produced some of the most contradictory conditions of beauty and horror. In the context of these conditions, the studio focuses on the generation and production of mutant rituals of architecture mutilations of micro behaviors that accumulate to create species from systems.

ROBOTIC FABRICATION LAB LAYERED CATENARY
)N THE SEARCH OF NEW MATERIAL AND FABRICATION METHODOLOGY AN INVERTED WORKmOW APPROACH establishes a constant dialogue between the physical properties of the material and the design intents. The strength of this project is created through hyper redundancy of a weak system which is the strand. Gravity as an external parameter dictates the form as well as the procedures in which the form is materialized. The methodology is categorized in the family of making through deposition. This project explores both material morphologies AND AESTHETIC POSSIBILITIES ,AYERING AND OVERLAPPING GRIDS GENERATE A COMPLEX AND ornamental pattern, which create seamless surfaces. Layered Catenary is the origin of an ongoing experiment that continues to the undergraduate thesis project. 74

It is a homogenous and joint-less material which can vary its form from a single strand to a thickset mass. This process explores material variability through manipulation of density, patterning, layering and fusing of other materials.

',53)/. \ &53%$ 4%#4/.)#3 An argument of three concepts: | The concept of free form fabrication, seeking ways to make forms that are not a direct replication of the mold, for example producing several different variations of an item from a single mold. This is achieved as a product of the relationship between the movement of the robots and the properties of the glue. | The concept of volumized and textured envelopes is based on Glusion methods. The resulting objects display unexpected variations of thickness, nesting of layers, porosity of the woven material and patterns. The unique character of these properties is INTRINSIC TO THE SPECIlC OPERATIONS EMPLOYED | The concept of joint-less tectonic system is an alternative to a long tradition of assembly. Glusion is an ongoing experimental technique addressing ideas such as form, structure, geometry, enclosure, volume, mass, and space. The aim of the thesis is not to propose a fully developed set of methods ready to be used in the building industry, but to expose the possibilities.
