shift I bath house and rest area spring 2011 studio 2b [instructor] kelly bair

Upon arriving at the rest stop visitors are greated with multiple entrance points to the d ifferent programs offered . Entering from the west of the site the slope carved into the ground takes visitors down under the multiple water collection ponds which overlap eachother and c reate water falls at their connection points. The progressing waterfalls lead into the baths w hich are found directly overhead with stairs leading up to them from the bottom level. The baths lead into the cafe which is used by both temporary and long t herrn visitors. Looking up fro m the cafe the lodging rooms. visitors to the rest stop are meant to make decisions on which program t hey want to access on the site, but no matter which one t hey choose the programs eventually ovenap eachother creating access to other moments that occur on site.

uniquely shared housing fall 2011 studio 3a [instructor] paulette singley

manifesto I 'uniquely shared' housing complex provides residences for a younger co mmunity living and working in the Los Feliz area in LA. It catres primarily to the hipster demographic which is farely prominent in the area. the housing development promotes communal elements while allowing for ind ividuality within each unit. private outdoor spaces within each subseq uent unit have the capability to transform into public use areas allowing for moments of invasion and sharing of spac e. statement I situated at the front of the complex this residence is a space in which the private owner has seperate elements from the public/guest. the two contrasting elements are intertwined with moment s of revealing as views into private spaces from public and vise-versa. the residents access the home through the parking garage leading to the bedroom . the private areas are not immediately accessible from the guest entrance which is located directly in the front of the home. the outdoor public space of the home features a full outdoor kitchen and restaurant.

core I sustainable marine lab spring 20 12 studio 3b [instructor] phillip ra [partner] nicholas matevossian

A lab is a facility that provides controlled cond itions in whic h scientific research, experiments, and measurement can be performed. When combining this spatial experienoe with community involvement and an opportunity for visitors to explore the inner workings of such a space , the built enviro nment provides a way for these moments to interact with one another. The initial research phases brought to light t he idea of collecting, whether it is for people or archiving of information is what can bind these programmatic ideas to o ne another. This is essential for this lab in order to provide for a fiow between public and private elements. The cores rise from the bottom of the building to t he top providing for water storage and c ollecting of research which is accessible from each program element depending on need . The scientists are able to use the space for archiving in lab areas and the visitors can view information and collected marine elements in the gallery spaces. The four individual cores are structural elements which also serve as elements that c ontribute to the funct ioning of the build ing. The two cores towards the north side of the build ing provide for rain water collection and cleaning for reuse within t he building . The center core is the main circulation element whic h holds the elevator along with circulation paths to different levels throughout the build ing. The core towards the south is the seawater collection area which holds water which is to be used

in the wet labs.

twisting forms fall 2012 studio 4a [instructor] maxi spina [partner] richard solis

Twisting Forms is a modular canopy system developed from the study of bandshell structures and their multiple functional aspects. Mainly studying Michael Maltzen's Play del Vista Bandshell structure a method was developed in which a frame of octagons can be used as a repeating form that can be adjusted to various twisting ribs that provide movement to a structure and the space that it inhabits. By using adjustable connection pieces which can change angles according to the twisting of the ribs or the angle of movement. The modules can be used in a large scale way in order to inhabit a larger space and create more repetitive movement or be used indrvidually as an 'umbrella' like structure that can provide shade on a smaller scale.

Located towards the beginning of the multi-site urban development the Centro de Entretenimiento opens up from the south as a welcoming low level landscape structure . Keeping its connection to the Parque Cent ral it inclued grass areas and usable park space available for public access. The site begins to lift towards the north in order to house the 30 room luxury hotel. In keeping w ith its open concept the hotel's facade i smostly glass which protrueds in different increments on each fioor. The entertainment complex of the Centro de Entretenimiento inclueds a multi-screen movie theatre as well as an outdoor cinema available to the public. The entertainment center alsc includes shopping underneath the lifting landscape element which is also used overhead as seating for the outdoor theatre .

isolated from one another. In order for ldroscalo to become a viable city that can fight back against its own marginalization the community needs to be developed and made stronger with the infusion of public spaces and cummunity developement programs. In order to begin this progress the introduction of piers and bridges, which link different areas of the city to one another will be effective in the continued movement and circulation of the people. Another essential aspect of the revitalization of the city is the introduction of large piazzas and smaller gathering spaces within smaller groups of houses. this will encourage gathering and provide oppurtunites for neighbors to interact with one another while providing relief in the midst of

Concept Development

·',,,,~."""" Initial Research

"since, as designers, we are concerned with the physical lf.ling city and its physical backbore, we must naturally restrict oursef.les to considering sets which are collections of material elements such as people, blades of grass, cars, molecules, houses, gardens, water pipes, the water molecules in them etc." - christopher alexender I a dty is not a tree

I diagram I the growth of the city, espedally of ore such as roma doesnt necessarily only happen horizontally but has vertical implications as well. due to time growth happens through a series of layers that develop through time. through the diagramatic process you can see the relationship between time and thickness. the layering that takes place at origination pdnts are heavier and have more stratification since they take place further back in time, as opposeo to newer dev.-opments wihich have less stratification. aLrelianwall

servian wall

Ivillage I roma's growth over time has been effected by the limits of the city itself and its continuous need to grow outside of those lim~s . beginning from a time wihere the servian wall defined its limits the city has had to reinvigorate itoof through growth according to layefing. the density of the d ty therefore is not only seen on a strictily horizontal level but through the multiple layers that can be seen vertically which penetrate the ground rev.- of current roma. through the tearing down and reusing particular moments the city continues to grow and layer on top of itself. aurelia! wall housing

public collection of private moments spring 2013 studio 5b thesis [instructor] peter culley I mark owen

Virtual media technology advancements over the last decade have enabled society's functional capabilities to make a drastic shift from the physical to mobile. Social media outlets - Facebock, lnstagram and Twitter - dominate the lives of 98% of the US's online community, which is a little over 50% of its population. the sharing of images is particularly poignant as our iphones, the tools of access into the virtual wor1d are now also the tools of our photo taking. The physical wor1d, in looking to adapt to the necessities of this new mobile lifestyle, is also starting to demand new possiblities as we slowly tire of the saturation of information permanantly stored in the virtual environment. Jennifer Siegal's More Mobile: Portable Architecture for Today, suggests if mobile technology frees us from the limits of place, it also can leave us feeling hollow and placeless, cra~ng real pecple and locales. So how does society openly share its private moments in the physical wor1d? Adaptable architecure, which allows for physical growth while maintaining mobility and creating oppurtunity where the sharing of images could respond to these issues. This is an architecture of unclear limitations and extending possiblities but where physical experience and face-to-face connections dominate.

' terra nova 2013 september 2013 [organization] mosaic artisans camp/ artist retreat [team lead] emerson nowotny

terra nova is an annual three-day retreat that takes place over labor day weekend. for this years conceptual theme the design team focused on the senses for the development of each structure, in order to provoke new perception of space and inspire creativity. the entry way creates a majestic opening which initially hides the intricacies of what is actually going

on inside of the camp. the entrance also begins as a blank canvas where participants are asked to contribute to the space coming to life with color. once the gates are opened to the camp visitors are confronted with several installtions that represent different senses. the first, a large fan in the center of a walkway examines the concept of touch through the spinning of the blades which are set in motion by the touch of wind . the next installation, built around an existing bridge resembles an ear canal which draws people into a narrow space then widens onoe again to welcome them into a 'new world'. these transitional spaces then lead to the courtyard which is the heart of the camp. through the use of opaque and transparant materials along with ambient red lighting the base of a tree is transformed into a beating heart which represents the space . from the branches of the tree, large birdcage swings are hung in which attendees can nestle and enjoy the atmosphere. within the space is also a geodesic dome which exemplifies the eye and creates a new vision of your surroundings through the different framing achieved within each face of the dome. each of these installations were built within 3 days as temporary structures for the use of the camp.
