TECHNIQUES THAT INFLUENCE THE PLEAT ARE ORGANIZED THROUGH THREE STYLES OF PLEATING. (1.) ORNAMENTAL, (2.) MOLDED, AND (3.) ENFOLDED. EACH TECHNIQUE ADDRESSES A NEW STYLE OF PLEATING, SUCH AS OVER-FOLDING, TUCKING, AND PINCHING. WITH THIS RESEARCH KNOWLEDGE, DESIGN IS REDIRECTED TO GENERATED AN ARCHITECTURAL SKIN THAT SIMULATES THE CAPACITY OF PLEATING.

OVER-FOLDING INSPIRED BY GERMAN DESIGNER IRIS VAN HERPEN, THIS STYLE OF PLEATING ADDRESSES PLEATING AS AN ORNAMENTAL FIGURE. THE PROCESS OF DRAPING THESE ORNAMENTAL FIGURES ALONG THE BODY IS CREATED THROUGH THE PLACEMENT OF THE FABRIC ON CERTAIN AREAS OF THE BODY, THEN IMPACTED BY THE GENERATIVE FORCES AND FLOWED ALONG CERTAIN AREAS IN AN ORGANIC WAY. THIS AFFORDS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE A CONSTANT FLOW BETWEEN ORNAMENTAL FIGURES AND THE CONFIGURATION (WHICH IS THE WHOLE BODY).

SOCIAL FARM

THIS STUDIO EXPLORED THE ARCHITECTURAL CONSEQUENCES OF EMERGING SHIFTS IN WORKING AND LIVING SITUATIONS AND THE POTENTIAL FLUIDITY OF THE TWO. URBAN CULTURE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE AGRICULTURE REVOLUTION WHICH PROVIDED THE MEANS OF SUSTAINING RISING POPULATIONS. THE APPLICATION OF INDUSTRIAL MODES OF PRODUCTION TO AGRICULTURE MADE IT POSSIBLE TO MASS PRODUCE FOOD BUT THIS APPROACH ALSO HAD DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON OUR ENVIRONMENT AND ON SOCIETY AT LARGE. JUST AS MONO-CROPPING AND PESTICIDE RUN OFF HAVE THEIR ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES, THE SEPARATION OF WORKING AND LIVING FROM THE LAND HAS HAD SOCIAL COSTS MEASURED IN THE NUMBERS OF DISENFRANCHISED AND HOMELESS. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES THE EXPLORATION OF URBAN FARMING AS A MORE SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE BY REINSERTING FOOD PRODUCTION AT A LOCAL SCALE. AS AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM IT CAN UTILIZE AN UNTAPPED WORKFORCE AND BOLSTER LOCAL ECONOMIES. AS AN ARCHITECTURE IT CAN BRING NEW LIFE TO BLIGHTED COMMUNITIES AND NEW LIVELIHOODS TO THE PEOPLE THEY SERVE.

With the introduction of viaducts connecting the two blocks, development moves North.

Between 1956 and 1966 a federally subsidized redevelopment destroys poor black communities on the periphery of Downtown, as an exercise in urban renewal and to build a highway. MARTA introduces a rapid rail transit system between 1970 and 1980 as an extension of the redevelopment. Many bus routes are removed and the transfer system is discontinued.

Due to lack of patronage and depreciating property values local business are abandoned or fall into disrepair.

FOR EXAMPLE, AS A METHOD OF WAYFINDING, EACH LEVEL WAS ASSIGNED A MUSICAL PERSONA THAT WILL BE EXPRESSED THROUGH A VARIANCE OF COLOWAYS, WHICH ARE INDENTIFIED IN SECTION, AND FORM. THE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE IS DECISIVE AND CAREFULLY STUDIED. THE SPACE PROVIDES THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HEALING - THE ANTICIPATION TO WELLNESS.
