We are living in a world of spectacles and the public desires personal spectacles. However, architecture remains bland and irrelevant for most of its users due to limitations like time, budget and its incapability to adapt to new technology and culture. Resolution in architecture includes not only the hard and fixed material surfaces of the architectural body, but the objects, people and actions it contains. A more synthetic understanding of these accumulated effects within the “cells and circuits” of architecture is needed to fully exploit and engage the range of resolution and present the public with an architecture that begins to meet the advancing cultural and social spectacle of an image saturated world. Within this process, Spectacle speculates on the new culture of an architectural practice in different categories: production, discursive, support, documentation, and model making. Each program embeds different levels of architectural resolution and also questions the role of architects within the different spaces of practice. This approach allows architecture the opportunity for “hyper cultural” and “hyper customized” architecture. The investigation could challenge the idea of new spatial readings, challenge materials, scales, and authorship. The practice is represented through a panini art/ vignette style where different environments and inhabitants coincide and create distinctive spatial statements. Programs are organized in a low to high resolution order, showing the dynamicity in different rooms/frames as the audience progresses through the practice. The front of the practice serves as the representation and the diagram of the practice.

Programs are represented as framed exhibitions. Architectural elements like circulation are represented through a diagram of circuits that connect the frames. The site is color coded to highlight the notion of the spectacular space. When one moves through the hallway of the practice and sees the front, they experience another layer of architecture that is more intimate and colorful with customized characteristics. The back reveals the architecture of the body and serves the role of the backstage of the practice. Volumes and sizes of each room are shown more clearly. Circulation from one frame to another is exposed. Programs are not revealed from the back, and the audience is left with a series of generic box forms that do not contain or convey information. The back is a form determined architecture only with geometric/formal qualities. However, the audience of MOCA can observe the interaction among practitioners when they’re not in their position.Practitioners have informal conversation. The front of the building is accompanied with a viewing tower. A Series of staircases guide the audience through the practice in particular ways that the programs are ideally seen. When one passes by a model making room, their vantage point is above the practitioners’ eye level so the audience can observe the model making process in a bird’s eye view. On the other hand, in a computer working room or the reception room, the audience is on the same eye level as the practitioners. The viewing tower also constitutes the passageway of the practice and a barrier/ boundary from the anti-spectacular and white site to the spectacular practice.

The research involved video production with digital platform. The five minute long video investigates the interaction among the programs and how it produces a chain effect of practice within Spectacle. Advanced questions of practice work on the deeper layers of meaning, representation and rhetoric related to architecture. These modes of inquiry, curiosity and desire have profoundly shaped and informed the major events and shifts of both the architectural discipline and profession. As general culture shifts into a post-medium and post-digital set of conditions and concerns, new questions are emerging as to what architectural practice means and how it might transform and evolve to remain relevant and even to exert influence.

Mosaic supportive share housing for mothers and children

floor plan and garden plan
The idea of a mosaic serves as a metaphor for a community of dwellings for homeless mothers and children. The project is located on a 50,000 square foot parking lot two blocks from Venice Beach, adjacent to the Venice Canal Historic District. Programmatically, the project is conceived as a small neighborhood or village of share houses, public facilities such as a clinic, classrooms, counseling lounges, recreational spaces and other communal spaces. Conceptually, the term mosaic not only defines the space that’s created by the mix of programs but also, refers to the diverse constituency and neighborhood fabric that has characterized Venice as a cultural hub, a tourist destination, a hangout for creatives and eccentrics as well as home to second largest homeless population in Los Angeles.

interior perspective
The Shell House examines the physical and cultural context of a particular site in Los Angeles and a program density that requires the deployment of a complex organizational types. Co-Housing is understood as reduced footprint, fully private living spaces that are augmented by shared programs. The project includes facilities to support the Ron Finley Project - a nonprofit entity promoting community gardening and access to healthy, locally grown food. Located in the intersection of Exposition St. and Chesapeake Ave., the project promotes an open space that interacts with both public and the private apartment tenants. Having the garden as the most important program, the projects consists of different level of privacy. The pushed garden that faces the Chesapeake Ave. is completely open to the public given the corner condition. On the roof of the first floor programs, another level of semi public gardens exist with vertical gardens. For lighting, the apartment units are lifted up, which makes the garden the element that separates the residential and public programs.

Colors of Watts residential and cultural center for watts Like the mosaic of Watts tower, the project explores the part to whole relationship of the geometric volumes. The scripting of the pattern is used in the new way to differentiate the programs as an organizing mechanism to create the composition of the program. The landscape and topography created from this suggests the materiality of how these things get broken up. Another layer of system superimposed on top of these volumes talk about the surface and program organizations. The grout / in between spaces that hold up all the pieces together in the project is both a conduit and a separator and this idea is applied uniquely on the seven acre site of WLCAC.

abastract site analysis of Central Ave. From the interest of examining Watts in the lens of color and art, the iconic mosaic from Watts tower was selected for further analysis. The analysis studies part-to-whole relationship of tiles and mosaic as a whole, network , and its relationship with the city for potential proposal for connecting the neighborhood together. Two dimensional studies were taken to create a three dimensional artifact using digital scripts.

The Crevice cultural center for arts district GFRC is used for the facade system of the project as it works as a brilliant material for its lightness, strong durability, and sustainability. GFRC qualifies as sustainable because it uses less cement than equivalent concrete and also often uses significant quantities of recycled materials (as a pozzolan). The pattern that follows the system of the structure’s rafters casts different shadow throughout the day and performs as the fifth facade.

Micro- Environment The scale of fabrication investigates the departure from the size of the architectural model to the size of the body. The concepts of topology as a reaction to the curves and organic nature of the body was introduced.The team designed and built a micro-environment that became a visual deterrent for an open-office like studio setting, using zipties. Total of 12,000 zipties were used to create the micro

Material: Object Analytics material and image mapping studies Examining ordinary objects in a different perspective, this project re-reads a tic-tac box with application of different colors, graphics and meterial. Form is distorted to be read as a shader rather than a literal and existing object. As it embeds thes new characteristics through texture mapping and rendering techniques, the objects become unfamiliar and new objects. Together, the objects are to be read as a field rather than distinct objects, emphasizing the investigation in color relationship of each object.

Dioramic Ecology color , texture and light study Applying different colors, light and material to the 3d modeled object which is reffered as a diorama, creates a narrative within its own ecology. The diorama begins from series of exploration in color , material and light. These collections become the genesis of each diorama. The three ecologies study the object at the scale of a person, of an architecture, and in the scale of cityscape. While the form remains unclear in the first ecology, one can experience the space in person and see tectonics. Second diorama perceives the objects as building blocks and employ them as architectural space. Third ecology
see the object in urban scale. The scale
allows the object to be seen as a pattern, or as a citycape.
