THIS PROJECT EXPLORES THE POTENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE SITE AS A SERIES OF SPLITS OR CRACKS AND HOW ARCHITECTURE CAN APPROPRIATE THESE NATURAL CONDITIONS FOR HUMAN BENEFIT. THE BUILDING IS CONCEIVED AS A SERIES OF PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS COMPRESSED AND RELEASED IN RESPONSE TO THE SURROUNDING NATURAL LANDSCAPE PUSHING IN AND OUT. THESE CONCEPTS OF CRACKING AND COMPRESSING ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR NATURAL LIGHT TO SEEP THROUGH THE SHELL OF THE BUILDING, CREATING LIGHT WELLS THAT BRING IN DAYLIGHT AND PUT THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE ON DISPLAY. THE PUSHING AND PULLING OF THE SITE BEGINS TO ORGANIZE THE PROGRAM, DIVIDING IT INTO ZONES THAT CAN WORK INDEPENDENTLY AS WELL AS TOGETHER WHILE CREATING A DIALOGUE BETWEEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE.
