Like the organisms that we eat, the form is derived from treating the program as cells of the voronoi diagram, allowing the program to organize organically around a circulation core.

GOOD FOOD
Good Food collects the production, consumption, and exhibition of food at a single site in San Francisco’s South of Market. The project seeks to re-ground the food cycle in an efficiency model based on nature: the voronoi diagram.

ASAKUSA: CASE STUDY
This case study analyzes the spatial organization, structure, envelope, and social performance of Kengo Kuma’s Asakusa Tourist Center. The building stacks traditional Japanese houses to create a new form that breaks the typical straight towers of Tokyo.

Double Negative maps the circulation of underground BART stations using vertical, horizontal, and oblique tubes. Like the earth carved away to make a transit system, something greater is created through the intersections of void and solid.

INTERSECTIONS: STRUCTURING PROGRAM & CREATING SOCIAL VALUE
The site of Double Negative II and III sits atop Potrero Hill in San Francisco, dominated by views of the city. Tubes are used to manipulate the view and also create programatic value as assembly spaces and circulation.

DOUBLE NEGATIVE II: LIBRARY stuctural box
Double Negative III: Library continues with the language of tubes, view, and importance of interections and is modified to serve the programatic functions of modern libraries. Solitary activities occur within tubes while social activities occur in the interstitial space. An exterior skin reacts to this condition and creates variation in lighting.

VERTICAL 120
Vertical 120 is a tower intended for use by both the public and a biologist who thrives in solitude. Program includes a viewing platform and railroad archive for the public and dwelling, work area, and telescope room for the biologist. The biologist lives in dichotomy; she cherishes being alone yet she lives in a publicly used building and while she is a biologist of urban plants, the stars above fascinate her also.

In an effort to create continuity between the three separate projects, the shape of the tower is influenced by the plan drawings of the Three Situations and is explained as a continuation of the idea proposed in Hypotenuse Park to create environments in which one can experience vibrations (Figure 1). The private sphere is defined by orthogonal shapes while the public sphere is defined by a more dynamic movement (Figure 2).
