KINGSWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Location: Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA Type: Demolition and Landscaping Year: 2007 Cranbrook Schools is one of the leading collegepreparatory boarding and day schools in the country. A National Historic Landmark, Cranbrook’s campus is known for its architecture, by Eliel Saarinen, as well as recent buildings by contemporary architects, such as Williams & Tsien’s Natatorium. The new Kingswood Girls’ Middle School will act as a transition between a wooded grove and an open meadow. Designed as a special place for girls, the school is organized around three classroom commons, one for each of the three grade clusters, which also serve as portals to the landscape beyond. In collaboration with Lake|Flato Architects and Ghafari & Associates.

BUSAN OPERA HOUSE Location: Busan, South Korea Type: Performing & Visual Arts Center Structure: Concrete, Steel Year: 2011 Operatic performance seeks to compress a multitude of specific art mediums into a single temporal experience; poetic narrative, dramatic performance, music (both vocal and orchestral), costume, lighting, stage and scenery design. But, to go to the opera is much more than just the performance itself. It involves all of the preliminary anticipatory experiences of the opera house. The entries, lobbies, stairways, foyers, bars and restaurants are an integral part of the opera event. This is where the architecture of the opera house becomes a crucial piece in a larger performance; a social, cultural and aesthetic performance.
178
Cultural institutions such as theaters, performance halls, museums, and operas provide and provoke much more than just a functional display of artwork. They are participatory pieces in the complexity of societal relations, both in the direct experiences of each patron, and through the larger urban and cultural conditions that surround the building. The opera, as a cultural hub, becomes a beacon that simultaneously draws people in while projecting identity out.

We have responded to this challenge by making three specific interventions into the opera house organization: First, the promenade of foyer/circulation is elongated into a mediating space for the participatory act of anticipatory congregation.

Second, the hierarchically striated auditorium seating staggers and compresses to become more intimate, egalitarian and experiential.

And lastly the pragmatic cruciform of performance stage and side stages become permeable, editable and adaptable by taking on exhibition programs as seasons and schedules permit.

ETCHING ENGINE Year: 2012 A drawing machine and a rendering machine. How to convey 3d complexity through pure linework? Not precisely a novel question, but in a digital world where so many of our representational decisions are left to chance, to be decided by the prejoratives of the softwares at hand, a sort of half breed software, interlacing between platforms might provide the ideal solution to begin to regain control of your represenational tools.

A simple Grahopper 3d definition was developed to compare the normals of the surface with 2 main vectors: centre line of vision, and the centre line of lighting.
Contours in accordance to the vector defined by vision .

AALTO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS 2015 Location: Otaniemi, Finland Type: Campus Centre Structure: Concrete, Steel Year: 2012 The New Campus Center is a dynamic hub of social, educational and aesthetic exchange. The design proposal originates in three concepts regarding the planning of public space. These three concepts are; the clearing of a public square, the filtering of circulation, and the establishment of a unique identity for the institution. In other words, the project desires to simultaneously be a void, a path, and an object. These three conditions are often at odds with each other as they demand very different qualities from the architectural proposal.
218
AALTO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS 2015
In order to resolve this triad, we looked towards other spaces that successfully resolved complex conflicting desires, and found that the Campidoglio in Rome designed by Michelangelo provided a key precedent. This design consists of a cohesive public void created by buildings that serve as backdrops. This square is also a hub of circulatory transitions that direct movement along a main axis, and then through the corners of the space at a diagonal. To further the complexity, these conditions of a cohesive void and a filtering path are created through the introduction of two object buildings of a novel identity in and of themselves.

These new buildings are able to perform multiple duties in planning strategy through a doubling along the main axial path, shifting emphasis into a spatial void and a framed view, not on the objects themselves. Our concept for establishing public space developed from ideas of variable topographic change through a clear symmetrical spatial frame and from the locally variable treatment of the horizontal surface as found in the Campidoglio.

The initial gesture consists of two long bar buildings housing the School of Arts, Design and Architecture. These bars initially frame out a symmetrical square with a focused axis on the tower of Alvar Aalto’s landmark auditorium. This initial symmetry begins to soften and bend as it is inflected by the pressures of various circulation flows present in the site.

One of the developments is a strategy for the relation between public space and vegetation as a type of primal clearing in the forest. The two main building masses hold dense vegetation behind their bodies producing a clearing for the main public space, the heart and hearth of the campus. This freed gathering space sinks into the earth as two public plazas which furthermore allow access to commercial, dinning and exhibition spaces below grade. The plazas also provide a terraced space on which varied densities of people may gather informally. These terraces provide small scale change for programmatic use, and simultaneously speak towards a larger collective organization.
AALTO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS 2015
LUIS FELIPE PARIS

232
This idea of a larger collectivity formed by smaller groups of people is carried throughout the design. Both the interior and exterior spaces are developed as echeloned terrace conditions that provide a richness of varied experiences in the immediate proximity of an activity. Activities such as a design studio or a dining room are larger collections of small local relations.
