SKIN; HIDES; MASS; THE HYPER-TEXTURAL OBJECT IN HYPER-TEXTURAL CONTEXT Advisor: Hernan Diaz Alonso Summer 2016 Skin and Mass are inseperable, but their logics operate in completely different ways. Mass creates inhabitable space, program, and most important form; skins excess, accent, and elaborate. Skins operate on a cosmetic level as manipulation of mass dig deep to mutate form. Operating almost exclusively on a surface level layering of furry [hyper-textural] skins work to transform mass into a new project. Maybe the comparison of a toupee changing the character of a face or gure into a new identity would be appropriate here, or one extravagant fur coat turning a human body into animal form would be the best comparison. Embracing the power of the architectural skin to mutate and transform; layers are overlaid inthe excessive manner to empower the architecural skin as form making mechanism. Mass and skin become separable; what’s underneath is made beautiful; and the skin hides become the new form [or mass].

WHOLE DICTONOMY - MONOLITHICITY AND MATERIAL AMBIGUITY IN ARCHITECTURE Instructor: Marcelo Spina Fall 2014
Supported by advanced digital and manufacturing technology, Monolithic architecture became the predominant form of the avant-garde, but also of its resistance in the last two decades. Rodolfo Machado and Rudolph El-Khoury argued in 1995, that in its allegorical mode, monolithic architecture has more to do with representational strategies than pure material qualities or construction systems. Substantiating and at the same time challenging this assumption, this class aims to investigate the inherent relation between monolithic form and the expression of material solidity in architecture. Specifically, the course will concentrate into both intricate [tectonic] and composite [concrete and other advanced contemporary building technologies] forms of construction and material assembly. Tectonic information from Coop Himmelb(l)au’s Dalian Center was extracted and applied to Jean Nouvel’s Tokyo Opera House competition entry with intentions to keep the strong monolithic presence of the original submission while adding new life to the form through its tectonics.

DIS-APPEARANCES Instructor: Marcelo Spina Spring 2014 The Countryside has always been a site for innovation building with or without the presence of architecture; The Elbulli Creativity Campus becomes a medium for exploring speculative realism, monolithicity, and muteness. Can the architect(s) design a site plan with all objects reading as homogeneous while creating objects that are true to the desired aesthetic but also unique in their own right?

DOGS TO MASSES Instructor: Hernan Diaz Alonso & Ivan Bernal Spring 2016 Addressing the literal in architecture as a massing approach [literal dog scan as a starting point] the project embraced the pre-set associations of the Pitbull Terrier mass and posture; skins, surfaces, and couture shingles were added to accentuate the mass to a level of exuberance which created a mis-reading of mass, scale, proportion, & silhouette to the extent which caused dis-association between skin, furr, and mass. In turn a reassociation was triggered between Doghouse, Guesthouse, & Mainhouse.
