double negative+ above: axonometric\double negative

An explorationn of carving longitudinal voids inspired from my initial montage, which simply studies depth and directionality by compiling photos of architectural moments of movement, in one particular area. The longitudinal voids begin at opposite ends and edges of the existing rectilinear construct which then wrap around externaally then internally to weave and intersect with one another; leaving a creasing third condition.

spatial sequence+ A continuation of spatial exploration through carving.

The design of the spatial sequence is a progression of the double negative concept. Sheared longitudinal volumes start at opposite ends to connect two streets which weave,on an axis, in and and out, and up an down the existing box.

Lines from the stairs are then projected and connected to the walls to further express directiionality of turns and provide p steps p that double as seats.

NEGATIVE AND POCHE CORE RELATIONSHIP. NEGATIVE | VOID AS CIRCULATION OR PUBLIC AREAS

tenderloin tende erlloin library+ sign of the new Potrero hill library reverses the traditional approach of a solid and void architecture, by utilizing the solid, instead of the voiid, as a source of light; figuratively and physically. (sources of natural light, and knnow wledge) This is accomplished through a ‘donut’/ helical scheme of solid and voiid that spirals from bottom m to top. The solid and void relationship generates control pooints to further manipuulate for program. The voids in this design simply acts ass public areas and circulattion. The solid (poche) then acts as core, of natural light thrrough the central lattice, and as the surrounding structural bookshelves and meetiingg rooms.

axonometric reresentation

make.move.play+ design.village\2013 This group project explores the modular possibilities of minimal materials such as corrugated plastic and pvc pipes. The idea behind this was to emulate the honey comb structure and conceptualize the com municative nature of bees.The over all structure is simply made from PVC pipes, pipe clamps, corrugated plastic and, plywood. These hexagonal pods 6.5’ in depth create a telescoping effect, when inside, to frame the beautiful views of the surrounding moutains.

The cube is rested on one edge edge and programmed progr from top to bottom; public to private e uses.
