MAISON BORDEAUX PRECEDENT STUDY
A01
A02 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This
project worked as an analysis of Rem Koolhaas’s Maison Bordeaux, and as a precedent study for the following project. The study broke down the house based on elements and additive and subtractive operations. This was done through a series of models, drawings, and animations in order to understand a single house parti. This parti captures the essence of Maison Bordeaux. The parti is that everything within the house can be broken down into sets of three. This is created through the light wells that signify entry, and signify a mass void mass relationship. These voids also divide both plan and section. In plan it is used to divide orthographic and curvilinear volumes, and in section it is used to divide the housing masses. A01: Assembled physical model depicting division of building masses built at 1/8”=1’ scale. A02: Partially assembled physical model depicting separated masses and vertical circulation elements built at 1/8”=1’ scale. A03: Assembled physical model with interchangeable building masses to show interactions of vertical circulation with building spatial elements and the cantilevered third floor mass built at 1/8”=1’ scale.

MASKING TIME IN THIRDS
B01
B02 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project
developed from the implementation of the previous thirds parti mentioned in the Maision Bordeaux project. The project was to develop a gallery and archive space for the work of John Hejduk. With a site that is a void between two buildings, and acts as memorial space known a the Judengang. It marks the funeral procession for the Jewish citizens buried in the Judischer Friedhof Schonhauser Cemetery. This space is currently gated and only opens once a year in order to allow for memorial passage. Inspired by John Hejduk’s Wall House projects, and their connection to movement through time we designed a memorial that examined the connection to time with the archive space being the past, the present being the circulation and the gallery spaces being the future that reflected on the past by over looking the cemetery. All work done in partnership with Nathan Krueger. B01: Site model and site extents, built with entire class at 1/16”=1’ scale. B02: Site model and miniature model built at 1/16”=1’ B03: Final model showing removable structure and gallery spaces, built at 1/8”=1’

C03 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project
worked though the observation constructing a historical building element using the fabrication methods of today. This was done through the digital and physical fabrication of a tas de charge. This tas de charge was modeled after the sexpartite vaults in Notre Dame Cathedral, and is the piece of the vault that takes all of the weight from the arches. This was done through rhino three dimensional modeling, and fabricated out of baltic birch plywood using the CNC machine. All work done in collaboration with fall 18 461 class.

HIGH LINE SPECIMEN STUDY
D01
D02 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project
developed as a method of studying the urban landscape and urban condition surrounding an assigned site. The examination was further narrowed to a 480’ by 480’ square of a given site. My given site was the High Line in New York City, and the site was further narrowed down to the observation deck within the High Line. The objective was to observe all aspects of the urban condition. These urban conditions were further subdivided into a catalog of urban elements: masses, horizontal surfaces, vertical surfaces, vertical elements, path elements, and massless conditions. This encompassed everything from buildings to residential and commercial districts. These elements were given as a method of observing the topo’s and logo’s of the given site. The High Line opperates as a method of separating methods of movement within the city, and separates programs within the city. D01: Model photo depicting the space created underneath the High Line. D02: Model photo of the High Line interacting with the built environment D03: Model photo depicting the observation deck, and the city that built up around the High Line.

E02
E03 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This
project progressed as a method of observing constructional labor through methods of digital modeling and image production. It examined the historic methods used by Eladio Deieste and his team during the construction of gaussian vaulted structures. The progression of this project worked through the composition of two image types. The first being stationary images isolating both the construction, and the workers. The second dynamic images depicting the movement of workers and construction equipment, the enconfrado (movable scaffold system). E01: TEM Factory construction image 1 E02: TEM Factory construction image 2 E03: TEM Factory constrution image 3 E04: Image type one, images isolating both the construction and laborers involved. Work done in partnership with Nathan Krueger and Drew Doyle.

F09: A model axonometric photo depicting the material relationships between the heavy mdf constructed solid mass, and the planer light constructed museum board. The mdf is used as both mass and method of movement for stair sequences, and the museum board acting as a continuous wrapping structure enclosing spatial volumes and acting as a method of movement for stair sequences. The project was designed to fit within and resemble a 6” by 6” by 6” cube of mass and void. The enclosed sequence uses museum board as a means of tying key points to the geometries of the cube, and the open sequence was carved away and uses planer elements as a method of skewing the geometries of the cube.

H03 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project developed with the examination of Revit as a tool by misusing the tool in four ways: establishing a vertical plane and working in section, using model and detail lines to draw sections that imitate orthographic drawing, layering drawn sections with sections cut by using Revit’s section box tool, and combining dynamic projection and orthographic media to think through scalessness and notational deletion. Our project worked through the examination of mediums used to design and the implications imposed by these mediums. It also worked as a constructional study of the Agricultural Heritage Museum on SDSU’s campus, in order to design a 6,000 sq. ft. addition All work done in partnership with Nathan Kruger.
