Precedent study: Sainte-Chapelle
A&UD 411 INTRO DESIGN STUDIO
TAUGHT BY STEVEN CHRISTENSEN This project involved creating an object based on formal analysis of a gothic vault. The reading of the precedent Ste-Chapelle as a surface problematizes the creation of a solid object from it. This project seeks to establish a conceptual approach for the disciplinary problem of transforming surface into mass. I imposed a temporal dimension to a series of planimetric transformations, allowing me to describe them in terms of motion, and envision each stage as a snapshot in a gradually accelerating path of motion. Superimposing these stages leads to the creation of an object whose thickness is conceptually independent of the physical mass of 1/2 the original vault, yet the underlying logic of the transformations are directly related to the geometric order of the precedent.

A&UD 401 TECH CORE
GROUP PROJECT TAUGHT BY MOHAMED SHARIF In architecture, an aqueous affect is achieved by manipulating translucency and distortion, working with a vocabulary of reflectivity, opacity, and layering. Thin layers lend themselves to a reading of thick, viscuous space. We sought to expand on the affects produced in precedents such as Herzog & de Meuron’s Elbphilharmonie, SANAA’s Tokyo Dior, and PTW’s Water Cube by invoking the tectonic in the cosmetic. We sought to achieve both actual and phenomenological distortion by distancing and slumping layers of glass, lending itself to a “rippling” parallax effect.

A&UD 413 HOUSING DESIGN STUDIO TAUGHT BY KEVIN DALY
This project is a reimportation of MVRDV’s Ypenburg project. Further intensification of density, reallocation of public and private space, and increased permeability have created a model for Los Angeles not-so-suburban living; a Ypenburbia. Close to the metro line and with space for community gardens, this site becomes a respite from the autopia of Los Angeles. Open rooftops foster community above the ground level, with semi-private strata where the insularity of suburbia becomes liberated by open space.

Los Angeles is famous for its automobile dependency as much as for its resultant traffic jams. Sandwiched between the 405 freeway and Sepulveda Boulevard, the site of this project turns an inert parking garage into a mobility hub and destination for work and play. A change in perspective leads to a new interpretation. With added program set into the facade of the structure, a still life too becomes animated by means of an outer layer of circulation. Creating a texture of figures, the perception of their massing changes as one moves around the area; it reads as something between a group of objects and a single figure. Edges blur, analogous to the programmatic blurring within as creative, technological, and fabrication labs meet flexible work spaces and micro living atop a mobility hub. The automobile is no longer incompatible with density; it becomes the alibi for a new vision of it. The parking lot becomes validated as a destination.
