This study employs multiple architectural strategies: the initial recording; analysis; and, finally, a re-interpretation. This design process emerges through an exploration of drawing and notation. The spatial investigation begins with defining terms, or operative terms, that describe actions in the world around us. The project begins with the operative term “FOLDING� which performs the activity and movement - rather than form – fixity.

This study explore the urban construct as an environment filled with dynamic predictable and unpredictable interactions and operations. This project researches the relationships between specific urban configurations and planned and spontaneous events in order to comprehend the city as an interdependent network. This includes designing programs that accommodate activities that specifically relate to extreme transfromations in response to behavioral urban characteristics. The development of the project based on specific terminology and techniques of aggreagating a varied but self-similar structural components.

San Francisco and Hayes Valley offer rich territories to study for the branch library. The address of the project site is 404-428 Octavia Boulevard (city parcel number 0817033). The lot is at the end of a block and faces Octavia Boulevard between Fell and Linden Street. This area of the city has gone undergone tremendous and regular change over the last 70 years. It has been the site of an active, high-speed freeway, the site of an abandoned freeway, and, most recently, a newly invigorated neighborhood with parks and a boulevard. The site is the temporary home to a beer garden and some small vendors housed in shipping containers. The project is to investigate the contemporary library and generative design through the process of designing a branch library at Hayes Valley site.

Materials and Meothods study focus on understanding the technical aspects buiding materilas and construction process. Students will be teamed and given a precedent to study the building methodology, and build a sectional of the assigned building. My team had assigned to study the “Wall House�,in Santiago de Chile, which was designed by FAR frohn&rojas, Marc Frohn & Mario Rojas Toledo. The team selected the longitudinal section of Wall House, and experienced buildding techniques, and explored the sustainability aspects of the building. While making the model, the team used rockite for concrete, bass wood for flooring and shelves, cork for filling that falls in between the foundation and and underneath the ground, metallic painted plastic dowels for steel structures, and lastly acetate to show the transparency that glass gives. From this project, the team will learn how materials works together according to their capacity.
