ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTOR: COLEMAN GRIFFITH STUDIO: ARCH 10B YEAR: SPRING 2010
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE Objective: To establish a relationship between the orchestra and the community using architecture. External Reference: Single out an acoustic musical instrument limited from the orchestra. Investigate the instrument performs through form, material and components. Process: Analyze an instrument and understand how produces sound. Research how its sound is affected by its form, material and components. Site Analysis: Grand Central Market is located in downtown Los Angeles between Hill and Broadway. Trumpet Grand Central Market is one of a few farmers markets in Los Angeles. At lunch it servers the local communities. Bunker Hill and Broadway are two close communities. Bunker Hill houses the Los Angeles financial district. It’s home to the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Walt Disney Concert Hall, Music Center and Colburn School of Performing Arts. It also houses some of Los Angeles tallest high rise. The community has a big number of large private cultural institutions making it an expensive area to live but an attractive destination for Art, Music and Theater. Broadway Blvd is known for its larger collection of theatres. Most have been converted into store fronts. Just to name a few landmarks in the area Los Angeles Theatre, Million Dollar Theater and the Bradbury Building. This community mainly supplies immigrant shoppers and downtown residence.

Topography
Amplification The act or result of amplifying, enlarging, or extending.
Compression
Reverberation
Elongation
The result of the subjection of a material to compressive stress, resulting in reduction of volume.
A reverberation, or reverb, is created when a sound is produced in an enclosed space causing a large number of echoes to build up and then slowly decay as the sound is absorbed by the walls and air.

BODIES & SKINS/CURVES & SURFACE INSTRUCTOR: NEIEL NORHEIM STUDIO: ARCH 12B SEMESTER: SPRING 2009
BODIES & SKINS/CURVES AND SURFACE Description: A curve developed with 7 equally distributed control points. The control points are aligned with the Curve in order to mold into different form. First, we manipulate the curve in 2D and forming the curves into 3D. The Curve is copied and ordinated. Both curves are then used to create a surface. The surfaces are duplicated to form to make a 3D form. Objective: An understanding of NURB software though the use of CURVES. A basic command of manipulating curves with control points. Deriving from a noncomplex shape we develop a complex form with characteristic. Task comprise of design using Rhino using several commands that encompass rebuilding, lofting, offset and serial sections.

SEQUENTIAL SPACES INSTRUCTOR: COLEMAN GRIFFITH STUDIO: ARCH 10B SEMESTER: FALL 2010
SEQUENTIAL SPACES Description: Spatial sequence develops the understanding of order in spaces through the use of circulation, interlocking and adjacent spaces.
Objective: Find a residence that houses private and public spaces to develop a physical model of sequential organization. It must embody interlocking spaces and a circulation. Derive a circulation diagram and spatial diagram around private spaces to develop a sequence of order. Circulation will release each interlocking space.
