STATEMENT

The nature of SCI-Arc in my education demanded a lot of rethinking on how to see the world. I came to SCIArc both as a departure from fine arts studies with the start of a focus on what the school saw in architecture. In the beginning, there was an attempt to have a back and forth conversation between the two, however, as semesters passed through, a different way of working emerged. Aside from the demanding hours and rigor that SCI-Arc upholds upon its students, my experience with the core students goes beyond the education in technical knowledge in drawing and model making. Of course there is a beauty in those means of working, but with beauty there needs to be a gaze and that gaze specifically is what I learned the most in SCI-Arc. As simple it may sound, the way I work evolved through a practice of looking both at other peoples work but also at my own. Careful reading not only trains the eye into great attention with detail, but it also is the start for curiosity. The more you look, the more you know. Moving forward, I look forward to discovering what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll produce from everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve digested.

FORMS OF WRITING H . O. M . E .

“Back in my day, you move out to an apartment that’s already designed for you. What you have to design is the layout of your furniture. That’s it. And even with shopping for furniture, you’re limited with the choices of what’s available in the furniture store. After you buy the furniture, you have to worry about it being delivered on the time when you’re not out and about doing your errands. You live in apartment for a year or two then find a new one. With rent increasing every year, it’s impossible to live in the same place where you lived in when you were 21. Forget about living in a house you designed all by yourself. In those times, it was impossible.” Hannah’s grandfather words resonated to her the night before her flight to San Francisco and felt lucky to be living in the year 2055 where rents and mortgages doesn’t exist so no matter how expensive a city, it is possible to live anywhere you want. However, just because you can live anywhere you want, it doesn’t mean any city is going to be the right fit.

possible. You don’t worry about being eliminated in this world, you’re worried about living for too long.” The dream of having your own house has never been easier thanks to this super house. All you need to buy is a lot, get the dimensions registered on the database and that’s it. With the super house, everyone’s their own architect regardless of experience in design. All the experience you need is the experiences you’ve had in your life which are programmed from answers you give to the operating system. They call it, the housing that orchestrates your maximum existence, or H.O.M.E.

So how does it work?

H.O.M.E consist of four technologies that target the four senses of the human being (excluding taste) and one amplified technology that targets the “sixth” sense, their instinct. Electrooculography for sight, advanced touch technology for the touch, olfactometers for smell, synthesizers for the ears. The sixth sense are based on the result of all four technologies to generate what the user needs, want and fears. If your body will benefit a long walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, H.O.M.E. will detect this from your body and will automatically extend the path in between the bedroom and the kitchen. On the other hand, if you all of a sudden you need to sit from being exhausted from standing, H.O.M.E will automatically regenerate itself to create a perfect chair for you to sit in the right place you need to be. If you’re afraid of spiders, spiders will not exist in your home. If you’re afraid of bombs, the house will equipped itself into indestructible material.

The aftermath of ISIS resulted in a better technology for the security of the human race in their own houses. With the havoc, not only were people concerned of their physical security, but their emotional, psychological and spiritual security. Houses are no longer safe. Anything can happen. The well being of the inhabited of a house All of these technologies are jam packed in was pushed to level that no one ever imagined it the form of beads because H.O.M.E is designed to would reach. operate in a system based on fractals or expanding In 2050, developers have created a su- symmetry. With this simple yet complicated system, per house that will make the inhabited feel safe the H.O.M.E. is constantly designing itself as it listens to

The invention of H.O.M.E not only transformed the notion of a residency, but it also created a big impact on where people are choosing to live. Since a H.O.M.E is personalized in great detail to an individual, it’s programmed to choose the right area it needs to be grounded in. “Welcome to the H.O.M.E. headquarters in Queens, New York. How may I help you?” “I’m actually here to find a new city to live in,” Hannah answered the computer. “May I ask why? This question is being asked to help you find the better fit for your H.O.M.E.” “I’m about to graduate from college and I don’t know, I guess, it’s time grow out of New York. I heard a lot of great things about California so I was thinking I could find a job there.” she answered with hesitation. “To begin, we would like to ask a few questions that would create the best personalized area for your H.O.M.E. What is the most comfortable weather for you?” “Preferably NorCal weather. I’d still want to wear my scarves and boots.”

“Can you tell me about your family?”

“Well they’re all in Orange County. I want to live near, but not too near like Los Angeles. Just take Los Angeles out of the options.”

“Do you have patience for traffic?”

fic.”

“I don’t mind traffic, if it isn’t Los Angeles traf-

“Are you an outgoing person, if so, do you enjoy nature?” “I like going to art museums and bars at night. I’m not really into hiking or forrests.” The results were San Francisco, Berkley and Sacramento. For her, San Francisco was the one. Once landed in at San Francisco Airport, Hannah took the cab to the address of the lot that she had bought herself that had a dimensions of 4,500 square feet. It was a perfect space for here H.O.M.E. to inhabit and it was definitely bigger than

How you get to your H.O.M.E. is easy. H.O.M.E. comes in the form of beads that are like seeds. You can either throw the seeds on your lot and it will instantly grow your H.O.M.E, your can wash the beads with your clothes so that once you walk into your lot, the beads in your clothes will already be detected by the ground once you step in. Electrooculography is a technique for measuring the corneo-retinal standing potential that exists between the front and the back of the human eye. Measurement of eye movements is done by placing pairs of electrodes either above and below the eye or to the left and right of the eye. If the eye moves from center position toward one of the two electrodes, this electrode sees the positive side of the Retina and the opposite electrode sees the negative side of the retina. potential difference occurs between the electrodes. The recorded potential is a measure of the eye’s position. She liked the smell of Tobacco without the stench of a cigarette. It was almost an impossible aroma because she wanted it to smell clean. Thanks to olfactometers, it detected this from Hannah and created that smell. An olfactometer is a device used for producing aromas in a precise and controlled manner and through the data base, it can create any mixture of aromas ever existed that would perfectly suit the owner’s needs and want for comfort. The advance synthesizers technology, H.O.M.E. could a detect the type of sound that her body wants and could also design the space for better acoustics by itself to really reach Hannah’s needs in terms of her ear. With that, Hannah started hearing her the Best Coast to commemorate her move to the West. H.O.M.E revolutionized the definition of one’s lifestyle as it eliminated the risk of harm to anyone and this was all because of the technology that were built under the motivation of a better life for everyone. In the year 2020, there was a great outcry on how technology is ruining the sanction of human beings and even nature. Everyone thought technology was ruining people’s lives, but now it become its home.

Moving out and being on your own for the very first time is one of most challenging obstacle in the life of span of human beings. In 2050, the challenge presents different dilemmas than it was in the 2010’s.

to your well being: it’s always regenerating itself. H.O.M.E. understands that as human beings, we constantly change and our space needs to be in the same pace even if it’s just slight change of window sizes, or big changes like having a bigger living room.

LIBRARY ASSEMBLIES II INTERROGATION

S T U D I O :

The main key for this site in Barcelona is its connection to a historical train station. Along with its past life, the interrogation is acted upon with a c o n s i d e r a t i o n o f i t s f u t u r e . W h a t i s t h e a p p r o a c h t o b r i d g e t h e s e t w o ? Fo r this project, it is the underlying geometry from project lines that mere suggestions to the rich details that wrap around the structure. With a rigor like this, a field of lines dictates not only form but also shared program.

Massing Evolution

K A N M I C H E L L E

The two towers are set apart through a subtle slip to create new openings. From this, through operations of “wiggling” or rotation, the mass of the podium gets destructed. This leaves an effect of a footprint of the towers that ultimately creates vertical openings.

The whole massing gets deconstructured through a rigor of the “wiggle” operation. The moves are based on straight forward relationships between the towers and the podium and are heavily based in plan. As a result, the massing becomes productive on creating negative spaces for opportunities in circulation.

The massing is pushed further in attempt to reconstruct the massing through hunting for new relationship of the pieces that were fragmented along the way. Reorganizing these figures not only create new forms through joining together, but because these figures were once negative spaces from the operations, the whole massing is defined through these fingerprints. 4 - Reconstruction

When thinking of space as a box, the conversation and means of working is vastly different from a constructed mass.

It produces an opening to unravel a sur face that hints what is inside the box. An aper ture mixed with interior elements is an opening for ideas.

An exciting par t of the studio that was absent from the previous studios is the production of image making. Star ting with a precedent that is solely based on what is being presented, almost ignoring the spatial qualities of the image, an open ended assignment gives room for creative exploration. This material study explores lines as cuts on a material, lines in which are traced from random lines on a wood texture. Alongside, a collaboration with a fellow student was a first in the whole studio sequence and this added an extra element to both the project and the production.

As a result, because paper interacts with pressure, a calculated transformation can be explored in this interrogation.

ART HISTORY II

L A N C E

It’s a normal phenomenal for questions to pop up when looking at art pieces. However there’s a difference between creating straight forward questions that can easily be answered by the curator, compared to a questions that will never have a right answer no matter who you ask including even the artist. The Theater of Disappearance of Adrián Villar Roja located in the MOCA Geffen takes this question and answer differently. Through it’s carefully orchestrated exhibition, it builds up to a question that seems to already have answered itself.

driven by curiosity but it’s also as a mean of necessity. It’s almost some sense of primitive instinct to approach the light as quick as possible with impulse. As you approach this first piece that is placed in the middle front, you’ll notice that the container is not even trying to be freezer, it is an actual freezer. It it’s reminiscent of a local deli freezer where food is stored for you to choose and order from. There is food in this container, but it is mixed with various things, things that generally don’t mix: steel wires, yams or sweet potatoes, rocks and twigs are among the most prominent. It’s no doubt the composition was thought through as corners and spaces are activated by these materials however, there’s no denying that these materials are disturbing to see together no matter how interesting they’re laid. Due to the darkness in the exhibition, the light is exhilarating the details in the chosen materials not for specificity, but for their condition: it’s looks and feels dirty.

It’s uncanny that the whole warehouse is in darkness. As you enter from the tinted front door, your first sight lays on the white banners that somewhat tell you something in the nature of,“Hold on, talk to the staff first” because it takes some time for you to digest such a dark place. A staff approached will approach with a flashlight asking for your ticket but remind you that there’s an area in the exhibition where the ground is a step down with no warning. This is going to have a sig- As you continue walking, the floor has nificance not only towards your safety, but a significant changed from smooth white cement to uneven part of the whole exhibition. hardened soil.

This ties the whole exhibi In any exhibition, you’re driven to first look at a tion into this underground environment. piece that you’re personally driven meaning that it can differ from person to person. Mix this with darkness,

The contemplation is now becoming much apparent as you continue along the only objects that has light in the room, the containers. They’re filthy not because of dirt or stains, but rather this feeling of filth comes from the fact that the materials mixed together, ethically, shouldn’t be together. Some of the containers have dead fish with a sneaker including some robotic toy while others have bones of humans with pieces of meat and a metal piece. To a human’s mind, this is even filthier because these containers are something we use for storing food to be preserved, a fridge. There’s surrealism with it because these fridges are actually on with the fridge light brightly lit, the buzzing sound prominent and some of the fridge doors being open wide as if it’s telling to reach for what’s inside. The step that the staff had warned about can be seen as see as the first step from the whole experience. You’ll notice that the not a lot of people, or even yourself, did not listen to the staff and tripped. See this step as part of the layers just like the layers of the ground. The exhibition reflects this with its several independent walls in the middle and the difference in soil. Noticing that the rocks that live in several layers, we’re getting a glimpse of the specific layer of the ocean. Is the “The Theater of Disappearance” asking us what we’ve done to it or is it telling us what we did?

The Theater of Disappearance of Adrian Villar Roja at MOCA Geffen

The staff in the beginning did mention something unusual: she insisted to use flash photography. As muscle memory in visiting museums, you’ll convince yourself that you just might’ve misheard what she said however, there were several people holding over their phones as they scan through pieces with the flash on. Right off the bat, this interaction seems to copy a submarine underwater with its light hovering over the sea ground. Along with the dark gigantic blue walls and darkness, this somewhat verified the whole premise.

The climate location designated for this project is London, England. London poses the unique issue of torrential rain downpours while offering few, limited glimpses of sunlight throughout the year. Because of this issue, the facade of this structure will have to be utilized in both active and passive forms. The vertical louvers allow for drainage during a typical rainy day in London. The flexibility that their operability provides means that on dark cold evenings they can be closed to maintain the heat level on the interior of the building. Alternatively, these vertical louvers can be adjusted to act as sunshades on the few bright and sunny days which Londoners may encounter.

Program Core

A R E V A L O

While the project originated based off the need for a cafeteria, the upper floors house additional classrooms to take some strain off of the SCI-Arc original campus building. Additionally, the two upper floors have been designated and designed for temporary student housing. Accounting for the fact that the majority of SCI-Arc students live far from campus and commute, only a small program of the building has been dedicated to temporary housing.

In terms of the orientation of the project, based on the attached sun path diagrams, the southeast facade is subjected to the most sunlight. In an Legend effort to address this, the louvers on the southeast facades of the building are 2 inches longer in their extension away from the building. This adjustment ensures less glare for the classrooms and dorm rooms on this side of the building.

ENVELOPE ARTICICULATION OF DOUBLE CONE

THE FACADE CONSISTS OF THERMALLY BROKEN MULLION/TRANSOM SYSTEM. THE ROOF MAINLY COMPRISES AN INSULATED METAL DECKING WITH REAR VENTILATED ALUMINUM CLADDING AND PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL UNITS SOLAR PV SYSTEMS USE CELLS TO CONVERT SUNLIGHT INTO ELECTRICITY. WHEN LIGHT SHINES ON THE CELL IT CREATES AN ELECTRIC FIELD ACROSS THE LAYERS CAUSING ELECTRICITY TO FLOW. A 28-METER DOUBLE CONE SUGGESTING A ROTATING HYPERBOLA DOMINATES THE STRUCTURE. A CLOUD-LIKE ROOF IS SUPPORTED BY A TRIANGULAR LATTICE STRUCTURE OF HOLLOW STEEL SECTIONS. HOT AND COLD WATER PUMPED THROUGH WELDED PROFILES IN A CLOSED LOOP HEAT THE BUILDING IN WINTER AND COOL IT IN SUMMER

THE DOUBLE CONE CONCLUDES AT THE SO-CALLED RING BEAM, WHICH EVENLY DISTRIBUTES THE LOAD FROM THE ROOF AND TRANSFERS IT TO THE GROUND VIA THE OUTER FACADE. ALTHOUGH THE ROOF AND DOUBLE CONE FORM A SINGLE PIECE IN TERMS OF STATICS, THE DOUBLE CONE ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A KEY SUPPORT FOR THE 16,000 MÂ² ROOF STRUCTURE.

THE OUTER CLADDING FROM THE GLASS, ARE PERFORATED STAINLESS SHEETS THAT PROVIDE SOLAR SHADING TO THE STRUCTURE. THE GLASS ENVELOPE HELP MAINTAIN THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE AT A COMFORTABLE LEVEL AS A MODULAR GLAZED UNIT WITH TWO LAMINATED UNITS INWARD AND A SINGLE UNIT OUTWARD. THESE GLAZED UNITS ARE CLAMPED INTO A SPECIFIC FABRICATION OF HOLLOW STEEL MULLIONS THAT FEATURE DIAGONALS TO ACCOMODATE THE BENDING.

THE MAIN FACADE, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS CONCIEVED THROUGH MODIFIED POST-AND-BEAM SYSTEM. LEANING TEN DEGREES OUT OF THE VERTICAL, THE POSTS ARE BENT AT A HEIGHT OF 7.50M WHICH HELPS THE VERTICAL WARPING OF THE ROOF AND HANDLE THE ELASTIC BENDING OF THE POSTS. IN RESULT, THIS ELIMINATED THE NEED FOR MOVEMENT JOINTS.

HISTORY OF ARCH & URBANISM II

L A N C E

Architectural materials whether they’re written or created graphically, unfolds ideas into our present world. This results into an involvement not only a historical discourse but also inspire ideas that have potential to be relevant in the field of designing space. However, rarely do we see narratives of what it is truly like to be an occupant. Rather asking how civilians occupied the spaces but the more interesting question is, how do civilians utilize architectural drawings into their daily lives? Nowadays, architectural work are liked on social media that become an aesthetic to an individual. Architectural material becomes closer to a visual experience disregarding its initiative to be tangible space. This image (image 2) is a great example of how an architectural drawing was perhaps used out of its context but efficiently used nonetheless; it’s a letter. A postcard is a popular use for architectural works even for today. Shops in museums and in historic architectural landmarks always have it available with an image of the landmark you’re visiting where the back is a space for writing letters. In the image, you can tell that this is a post card. At first glance, the flatness will throw you off. It’s extremely flat, almost so flat that it’s like reading a piece of writing, a paragraph specifically. In fact, the image itself actually does have writing in it. Putting aside what the context of the actual text to someone who doesn’t speak the language, the decision to have a writing on a piece of a drawing almost immediately puts the image itself in a flat picture frame. What the image contributes to the picture is whole different story.

into it despite its extreme flatness. The use of hatching is used throughout in a clear set of rules. Hatching is created through a series of a repetition of lines whether it may be diagonal, horizontal or vertical. Through the density of these lines, you’ll soon eventually achieve a sense of spatial quality. Furthermore, given with a certain guideline within yourself orchestrating these lines through what you’re representing, the difference in amounts and types will create a hierarchy within the image. In the case of this image, it’s conveying spatial qualities of various areas. We can see that the windows have a very dense amount of lines, creating a deeper abyss. It’s almost like a hole into a dark world. These hatches are keen when talking about this letter that the image maybe trying to conceal. In a true great architectural drawing, hatches have more variety. This one has almost a few amount of variation and the only prominent ones are from the window, from what seemed like a door and the open spaces on top of the dome. These windows are so heavily hatched, with the process of making hatches, that repetition of lines, you can only imagine how much frustration that had expressed just get that dark hatch. The image itself is interesting because it’s divided into almost three parts in a longitudinal aspect. The bottom part from which seems to be the facade which holds two stories of the structure, the pediments although are narrow if considered space can still be considered as one as it may act like a buffer between the other two spaces, and the domes that

To really understand this “letter”, one may need to look at these three spaces separately. Our “introduction” has this suggestion of a flow where it seems to be a cutting sectional plane of the roof. Your eyes will follow these curves and make you observe what’s being contained in this upper space. As you follow along that curvature of the roof starting from the upper left, you will pass by those sectional cuts that have dark dense hatches. It’s almost like whoever sent it, is beating around the bush and just like an introduction paragraph, enters you of what’s to come. If you continue along within the upper space, you’ll notice a lot of ornamentations in which are hatched in this almost regular grid. It’s not as dense as it only has an equal amount of horizontal and vertical lines which creates several squares. However, continuing along, despite the fact that they’re straight forward, there’s several of them. In some sort of logical sequence of three to one to five. It perhaps may not have a direct correlation on sentences are sequenced, but sentences also that sense of patterns when it comes to nouns, articles and a verb. The buffer mentioned earlier, is stationed in a static placement. Squinting your eyes, it’s just a line but when you look even more closely, the details are actually rich. The details have vertical lines that seem to also ever so slighting push along the outer edge of this pediment creating a bacon like shape on these details. You can find a similar shape in the bottom part of the image and similar line work in the upper space. It almost mimics the notion of cause and effect; this divider is a middle point between these two parts where almost like where the question and answer happens. If you want information in a letter, this where you skim to. The lower space is prominent because of the bacon like structures. They are incredibly weird as it seems to be wanting to be a column but in re-

the ideal design for a tangible structure. In result, this moment is what pushes the whole image into the abyss of the world of fiction. It is meant to be read in a different way than what we usually assume a column would do and thus, it puts this image even closer to that letter category. The other aspects of the lower space have a variation of design qualities as well whilst these bacon like columns seem to divide them vertically. Move your eyes like you’re reading a letter, these can be seen as spaces between words. Reading it from left to right (just like a letter), there are rectangles that not necessarily windows as it has just horizontal hatches. After repeating this design twice in which again, are divided by these bacon like column, is an actual window hatched so vigorously that gives depth. Continuing along, is another pair of those rectangles with horizontal lines but this time, skinnier than the ones in the beginning. We then enter this space where a pediment seem to be stationed similar to the rectangles but an additional detail of an ornament hatched similarly to the ornaments to the upper spaces. At this point, this image has created a building. The site, the use, the context can all be assumed in different ways but in a way, this image signed up for that ambiguity. Rather than compiling historical context in which would answer these questions, it may be more beneficial to perceive the graphic potential it contains just as it is. It already lives in a fictional environment with unusual properties. This isn’t a building, it’s a letter, a letter that was structured architecturally. Today, architectural drawings have evolved more into an exclusive discourse within just architects. Drawings are becoming more a prominent feature in architectural work despite its intended use of giving information for actual construction. This image can be seen an example of this in which the image lives in a fictional world that has the ability to communicate to anyone, not just an architect. That leaves the question, what is this letter in particular actually communicating? In the end, maybe only an Italian would know. English speakers, it’s probably a secret letter.

and the domes that are on the roof which can be considered in a way, the top story. Stories are also told in letters, and letters also have three parts, the introduction, the content and the conclusion. Coincidence? I think not. There is text in the upper left corner of the image. This image needs to be read as if it’s a letter to right just like a letter.
