GEOMETRY

SUPERIMPOSED

This architecture studio focused on the historical layers of the urban fabrics of Berlin. The Jüdengang in Berlin was the site for this project.

Two large vaults frame the site infilled by two towers floating above the ground to allow a connection from Kollwitzplatz to Jüdengang.

Each tower is essentially a series of volumes stacked upon one another. They are separated by a void serving as a lightwell. The stairs are detached from the building and stitched back to the towers by bridges which consciously seem too small to be considered bridges.

Le Corbusier’s Maison Jaoul was the precedent study for The Ribbon.

The two houses were designed to be economic. The houses use construction elements like concrete and brick on the outside as part of the design, but plastered interior walls with exposed Catalan vaults.

Building Shop explores the work of the Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste through the construction of Ruled Surface using local traditional building materials like bricks. Dieste Wall 3.0 focuses on the analysis and documentation of a previously constructed iteration through an itemized catalogue and individual spatial relationships.

The work structure

started by analyzing the of

the

wall

previously

constructed by students in an earlier version of the building shop. Total of 84 lines were drawn on the wall. Each line represents a section cut. The height, the depth, and the indentation of each brick and mortar line that section lines crossed were measured and recorded manually.

The information extracted from Dieste Wall 2.0 were later used to create a virtual version of the wall using Rhino 3D.

03 Volga, SD Public works Reconstructing space through point-cloud “We have built a monumental space, the Volga Corner, at the center of a small town.

The Volga Corner is one of four projects (a square, an arcade, a threshold, and this corner) that make up a larger inquiry, Making Public Space Concrete, funded by the Precast Concrete Institute (PCI).

The workflow from initial observations to completion is an exploration of the nature of monumentality at a small scale. For grounding we looked to the monuments of Pop Art, especially the text paintings of Ed Ruscha, and to the lessons on monumentality in Learning from Las Vegas.

We needed to make something small also monumental. Pop Art and Learning from Las Vegas showed us a path to monumentality beyond building at grand scales. We’ve found in this that the key to a small monument is in building a phatic rather than semantic structure; one that projects communal atmosphere rather than communicative meaning.” - Brian T. Rex

04 Maison Jaoul

by Le Cobusier A study

A pair of houses were designed separately, sharing a courtyard that connects the two buildings together. The two houses were designed to be economic. The houses use construction elements like concrete and brick on the outside as part of the design, but plastered interior walls with exposed Catalan vaults. According to Le Corbusier, he used Catalan vaults on the inside as a symbolic space connoting the image of the first human habitation within a rocky crevice, the very essence of a shelter.

The information extracted from the research were later used to create diagrams and digital models to emphasize the characteristics of Maison Joaul.

Three physical models were made, each was designed to emphasize one or two main characteristics extracted from the research. The tectonic model emphasizes the catalan vaults and 8:13 relationship.

The aperture model shows the openings and Modular Principal in the openings. The last model shows the vertical/orizontal circulation and service/served spaces.

This building arts studio focuses on urban design using main city blocks and town squares around North America. The southeast corner of Central Park was my main focus in analyzing and understanding the movement from the city to the park.

The goal of the kinetic vault was to prototype a deployable structure using a sustainable material like cardboard. The vault was used as study to test to capabilities and limitations of cardboard as a building material. Inspiration for the scissor joint structure came from the kid’s toy “Haberman Sphere”.

The form and function of the sphere were modified to act as a barrel vault that collapsed in a similar motion. The width of the barrel vault fully extended is 12 feet with the depth able to be modified by adding additional 30-inch sections. When collapsed, the vault closes to 3’ wide and 8-inches deep.
