POTRERO HILL LIBRARY
ARCHITECTURE 100A | FALL 2013
The formal organization of the Potrero Hill Library is based on the idea of perspectival distortion. The concept originates from my site analysis (pictured to the left), which explores how space is perceived with the human eye versus how it is represented (orthogonally) through architectural convention. The library consists of four perspectival volumes twisting around a central core. The geometry of the volumes creates a balanced variety of open, social areas and smaller, private study spaces. Following the aesthetic of the interior, the facade is generated from a field of converging perforations to emphasize the perspectival effect on the street level.

ARCHITECTURE 100A | FALL 2013
This project explores the spatial experience of speed through the intersection of a twisting void with a perspectival void. The twisting void creates dynamic, fast space, whereas the perspectival void makes slow, regular space. Where the two voids meet, the geometry becomes a rich combination of sharp, dynamic moments alongside slow, smooth space.

PIXELATED FACADE: CONCEPTUAL CUT ARCHITECTURE 100B | SPRING 2014
Intended to house a sculptural art gallery, this conceptual cut creates a variety of daylighting conditions with a perforated facade of varying density and size. Where gallery space calls for more intense lighting conditions, the perforations grow larger. Where gallery space holds light-sensitive pieces, the perforations become much smaller or disappear behind solid concrete walls. The facade is constructed from perforated copper panels. The building frame (walls and floors) is constructed from reinforced concrete for structural integrity and thermal mass.

SPY HOUSE
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN 11B | SPRING 2012
PLAN FORM
This house is based on the contrasting relationship between privacy and exposure. The centralized circulation forces interaction and observation between all inhabitants during their daily living routines. However, private living quarters allow for their respective secretive activities. Glazing is specific to the relative privacy or openness of the interior.

CASE STUDY: GRANOFF CENTER FOR THE ARTS ARCHITECTURE 100B | SPRING 2014
Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s design for the Granoff Center for the Arts can be reinterpreted as one continuously folded surface. This scheme offers transparency along the longitudinal direction of the building, while interior walls create opacity through the transverse direction of the building. The model was created from a single 96”x6” piece of clear acrylic. The acrylic was carefully bent with a heat gun and a simple wooden 2”x4” jig. The zigzagging surfaces represent the main circulation system through the building.

GOOD FOOD
ARCHITECTURE 100B | SPRING 2014
Located south of Mission Street in San Francisco, Good Food intends to be a community activator for the surrounding vicinity. Four ellipsoids intersect a simple box to carve out the public spaces within the building. The orientation of each ellipsoid is such that the geometric center is located outside of the box towards the street, thus creating a connection between the activity on the street and the activity inside the building. The community gains visual and physical access to events in the food hall, auditorium, gallery and community garden. Interior spaces outside of the ellipsoids are dedicated to more private program such as research labs and educational spaces.

ENTROPIC CAPACITIES
69-70 COMPETITION | SPRING 2013 CONTRIBUTORS: Jaclyn Berry, Mona Ghandi, Jonathan Izen, Carlos Sandoval, Hassan Sazmand
This project redefines the utility of the in-between spaces in the art district of Utah’s Salt Lake City. We used data pertaining to solar exposure, proximity to artistic program, proximity to residential program, proximity to gastronomical program and proximity to historical sites to create new programmatic spaces. Such spaces included public seating, public art walls, open galleries, urban farming and more. The structural installments consisted of fluid organic branches growing off of the existing architecture. Over time, this organic structure would grow and change to adapt to temporal ecological conditions.

STRAWBERRY CREEK ECOLOGICAL STABILIZATION PROJECT JUNE 2013 - APRIL 2014
This project is a student research and design group funded by UC Berkeley’s Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) that will restore a portion of the confluence of Strawberry Creek’s north and south forks to improve riparian habitat and ecological function. This site was chosen because of considerable erosion at the confluence as well as its potential impact as a high quality habitat for native fish species. Additionally, the project proposes to transform this reach of Strawberry Creek into a campus destination for visitors and an educational resource for students studying subjects including water quality, biology, hydrology, engineering, landscape architecture, art, and natural resources management.

SKETCHBOARD
NEW MEDIA 290 | SPRING 2014 CONTRIBUTORS: Jaclyn Berry, Ian Birnam, Molly Nicholas, John Sloan
This project strives to augment a form of human-powered transportation through the fusion of art and technology. Our team combined a longboard with an xy-plotter attached to the board’s undercarriage. The xy-plotter was a custom design to fit a longboard, including two continuous rotation servo motors for movement along the x and y axis, accelerometers, and an arduino. While the user rides the longboard, the xy-plotter draws the user’s path and creates customized board art.

MAPPING MELODIES
NEW MEDIA 290 | SPRING 2014 CONTRIBUTORS: Jaclyn Berry, Oren Berkowitz, Alex Mandel, Max Rutman
The purpose of this project was to create an interactive experience in an in-between space or non-place. The prototype of Mapping Melodies took place in the Wurster Hall first floor elevator lobby. Each time the elevator visited a floor, Mapping Melodies recorded the musical note corresponding to that floor. Over time, Mapping Melodies accumulated the elevator’s journey in the form of musical notes, redefining the meaning of elevator music.

The Mapping Melodies interface was an auditory and visual experience. The device was mounted on the wall near the elevator button for optimal access. The lights on the device displayed the elevator’s position in the building–for example, when the elevator was on the ninth floor, the ninth light was illuminated. When users pressed “Play,” the device played the elevator’s music along with its corresponding light mapping. The device not only created a more engaging experience, but also drew attention to the story behind the elevator and the elevator lobby– spaces we normally ignore or disregard.

URBAN WIC: COMMUNITY BUILDING BLOCKS SIDELL PAKRAVAN ARCHITECTS | JUNE 2014
CONTRIBUTORS: Jaclyn Berry, Joyce Lim, Rudabeh Pakravan, Janet Shuy, Kristen Sidell
An entry for the Urban Urge 2014 competition, our proposal was to transform WIC (Women, Infants, Children) stores from sterile, unfriendly environments into community and nutritional education resource centers. We designed a modular furniture system consisting of one chair-shelf module, one table module, and one bin module. The three variations were color-coded according to the federal MyPlate nutrition system to encourage nutritional awareness and were easily rearranged for customizable spaces. This modular system was designed to fit any space, but the competition entry focused on a corner store site in West Oakland. The addition of our newly revamped Urban WIC store would provide better access to nutritional foods in a Bay Area food desert.

SIDELL PAKRAVAN ARCHITECTS | JULY-AUGUST 2014 CONTRIBUTORS: Jaclyn Berry, Andrew Cornelis, Joyce Lim, Rudabeh Pakravan, Janet Shuy, Kristen Sidell
This competition entry for the new Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki, Finland was a collaborative effort to design a culturally relevant, environmentally sustainable and iconic space for classical and modern art. Rays of light refracting through a prism inspired the undulating and intersecting tubes that coalesce to form the museum. Traditional galleries take place where the space separates into isolated, singular tubes. Modern art installations and interactive art spaces take place outside of the tubes and in their intersections. Our design intends to activate the site through public plazas and outdoor gallery space surrounding the new museum.
