/ / A field of channel-shaped columns is introduced, acting as a datum with which the changing elevation of the site is contrasted. Inside the dwelling, these channels become circulation, utility, and small occupiable spaces.
SITE PLAN
// The researcher’s dwelling is embedded in the striated site, emerging upwards from between cracks to create spaces that are open, social, and bright. A central stair provides vertial transition downward into study and eating spaces. Circulating horizontally into the dwelling transitions the researcher into a dark, quiet space for rest, which is needed during daylight hours when the vampire bat is inactive.

// The “space within a space” scheme is adapted throughout to provide smaller areas that appeal to children and stimulate playful activity in the large studio, as well as darker quiet areas near the library. Proximity to the ocean defines the amount of interaction that occurs within a space, as a result of a cultural association between the ocean and social activity. Circulatory gaps between the building’s large teak timbers are spaced for high permeability by children, and selectively for adults.

// The visitor center was designed to integrate into the topography of the site, but espectially into the “topography” created by the layer of grass that covers much of the wetlands. By sinking the visitor center into the ground, a section-like view is presented, evoking the occupancy of this interstitial space between the water/ground level and the top of the grass line. The migratory bird population can be easily observed from this vantage point without being disrupted by tall, protruding interventions.

// San Francisco, California has developed into a city with a progressive outlook on topics like transportation and sustainability. In turn, the bicycling culture in the city has dramatically flourished with the implementation of the San Francisco Bicycle Plan in 2009, creating a perception of the streets and sidewalks as outdoor spaces to be inhabited on two wheels. Throughout the city, the color green can be found indicating exactly where bicycling is permitted and encouraged, weaving between, through, around, and along spaces that already exist within the urban fabric.

// A visitor center for the iconic San Francisco tourist destination, Lombard street, the project intends to mediate the significant slope condition by taking on the form of a series of bent trips. These volumes deform in width and angle depending on program and site, and allow the sloped interiors to be segmented using a series of switchback ramps, separating spaces. A new urban terrain is thus created on the roof of the visitor center as well as underneath the lifted volumes, augmenting the existing network of bike paths and serving as a sustainable transportation hub for tourists as well as residents of the area. / Architecture interacts with slope in order to create urban public space + circulation on, in, and around the project.

// Circulating under the lifted volumes provides access to the interior of the building, as well as to the semi-public spaces created by the bent formal scheme of the building. A large area of green space in the lot is retained and appropriated as a public park, now accessible by passing under the visitor center. By bending the portion of the building partially out into the sidewalk, tourists and pedestrians are funneled onto and into the new spaces that the architecture creates, encouraging sustainable transportation options in this area of San Francisco.
SHIP HULL ANALYSIS / / Historical construction diagrams were used to model a ship hull through the analysis of its sectional patterns. Digital construction of the hull reflected the actual construction methods of past shipbuilders.
// Inspired by the work of Louis Sullivan, the ornamental plate served as a medium in which to concieve organic form. Using a series of geometric forms and forms drawing from nature, complex surfaces were layered to create a plate with depth and logic, as well as more gestural elements. JEREMY BILOTTI JCB432

// In order to model the pavilion’s self-supporting, three story structural shell, sixteen unique connection types were fabricated which join together its I-beam components. These clear connections showcase the pins which extend through each joint, and form the latticed surface that spirals upward, connecting with itself at its edges to form the enclosure. Under the pavilion, the plan of each previous pavilion is etched into a layer of acrylic and LED lit, enveloped by the layers of seating on the interior of the space.
