SCI- Arc, until its purchase of the historic Freight Depot building in Downtown Los Angeles in 2011, was an itinerant organization, leasing spaces in Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey. It was founded as a “school without walls” in the figurative sense of being an entirely new and open form of architectural education, but also in the literal sense of inhabiting large warehouse spaces with no formal organization. The school whas since matured as an institution, and it is positioned to not only decide where the walls go, but take active control of its future through real estate development on its own land. “The Bridge.The Portal” applies a two phase process in expanding SCI-Arc. The Bridge, Phase 1, is an expansion to the school itself, in which it creates a new main auditorium and brings administration and public relations offices together. The Portal, Phase 2, is a housing developement for students that also plays as a grand entrance to SCI-Arc to enrich the Campus feel while also blending its height and business into urban fabric of the Art district.

DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2016 | DS1200 (2GAX) | Complex Morphologies Instructor | Marcelyn Gow Team | Francisco Tam Silveirihna, Yo Tomura, Juan H. Cárdenas Jr. Los Angeles, California | Art District
Michael Thonet can be considered one of the most important innovators in bentwood furniture making. Thonet was able to manipulate wood unlike anyone had ever seen before with curved framing for his series of chairs.This was a push on the agenda of the splines. Architecture also began to experiment with spline drawings by using hooked weights called “ducks’, although it did not necessarily give a mathematically computed curve, it did allow for smooth curves in design. In Animate Form, Greg Lynn describes the powerv of splines by stating, “ it perceives the motion patterns of multiple vector elds acting in space and time and can anticipate the unfolding of these pattern”, pushing the idea to perceive shapes as actual topology. There is big overlap with design and architecture and how they inuence one-another. Le Corbusier was very intrigued by the Thonet chair design that he used thonet designed furniture to furnish his Pavillion de L’Esprit Nouveau. With the big push in the Thonet design, a new agenda came with the experimentation of bending steel tubing. As the steel tubing becomes an imitation of the original thonet, the experimentation becomes becomes a representation of the original. Peter Eisenman describes his his case study House X, developed from his House I & II, House X as no longer considered “an object, but a sign - a representation of itself.” In this investigation we were inuenced by the splines of the thonet chair to overlap design with architecture. Our goal is to represent the thonet chair with specic characteristics of the curved splines to be present within our building design.

CHAIR EVOLUTION This exploration begins with the Thonet #18 chair. By experimenting with the manipulation of the bent wood we attempt to lose sight of the directionality of the chair itself. With the addtion of cushions we begin to add massing to the shell like frame. In the final step, the shell like frame acts as main structure while the cushions are transformed into massing in the evolution from furniture to architecture.

FALL 2016 Instructor | Maxi Ospina Team | Juan H. Cรกrdenas Jr. , Francisco Silveirinha, Song Qiu
With the intent to better understand surface tectonics and surface performance, an existing precedent is analyzed and documented in order to for a series of hypotheses in an attempt to construct a number of interrelated tectonic conjectures. Through this we seek out an alternative understanding of awareness of embedded cultural habits.
Aix en ProvenceConservatory of Music Location: Aix en- Provence, France Architect: Kengo Kuma & Associates Building Envelope System: Aluminum Cladding Year: 2013 The Conservatory of music is inspired by Aix en - Provence native painter, Paul Cezanne and his painting techniques. The building envelope is conprised of folded anodized aluminum sheets in which they play with the sunlight in order to create deep contrasts on the surface of the facade with light and shadows.

Developed envelope In developing an envelope system with traits of the Conservatory of Music, we are detaching the glazing from the aluminum paneling, making it a secondary system while also acting as a curtain wall that will have operable windows for natural air flow. With the separation of materials, a separate structural system is added to the modified panels. In a setting where the chunk faces South and West direction, shading and lighting are both amplified while balancing room temperature. As the panels are now detached from the glazing and from each other, the panels begin to rotate in intervals of 15 degrees, ending the south facade with 45 degree panels. The placement and angles of the aluminium panels amplify shadows throughout the day, and sunlight as the sun goes down.

SILICON RINGS DESIGN STUDIO SPRING 2015 | ARCH466 Instructor | Andrew Moddrell Team | Juan H. Cárdenas Jr. & Michael D’Souza Chicago,IL | Goose Island
Goose Island is an isolated heavt industry island to the north of downtown Chicago. The island is used as a place of transit, meaning a large portion of people who make it to goose island are merely passing through the island; we want people going to Goose Island. By manipulating the manner in which one circulates through the island, the intent is to transform Goose Island into the Silicon Valley of the Midwest. By adjusting the infrastructure of the island to incorporate two main circulation loops, we drastically alter how the island is perceived and used. Goose Island becomes a new tech hub that revitalizes the near north side neighborhoods and creates a new identity for the island as Chicago’s new Loop.

THERMOCLINE AXON
THERMOCLINE INCLINE DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2014 | ARCH465 Instructor | Sean Lally Chicago,IL | Lake Front
Thermocline incline is a landscape development that uses temperature in order to exploit the different climates throughout the ozone layer, in which the shifts within the atmosphere are compressed into four thermoclines. The drastic climate shifts in this concentrated space is meant to alter a persons perception of what their climate of choice is. A person also chooses a specific thermocline depending on the time of year. The climate within the development is also altered depending on the time of year, and the severity of the weather, making the thermoclines to be functional year-round. A person can be at the same elevation as another person, but be in two different environments depending on the natural wind current. The public park is redefined with this topographical addition by offering an unconventional seating area. This resting area can be used to cool down or warm up during the different time of year. The wind currents role allows for the thermoclines to increase and decrease in space, being so it altars where a person is going to occupy space within the development. Being located between many iconic sites aroundthe city such as Millennium Park, Art Institute, Lake front Trail & Buckingham Fountain, these sites will play a catalytic role to draw a crowd. There are also festivals that occur within the area throughout the year that will allow tourist and locals to occupy this space. Public parks always have certain spaces or activities that are prohibited depending on the time of year. Thermocline Incline is available and beneficial to the user year round that is a service to the people.
