Project | MARTA Bus Stop

Location | Marietta, Georgia; United States

Description | This bus stop design was created to be utilize modern technology to create a more user friendly bus stop that encourages more people to engage in public transport. It uses a solar panel roofing to power it’s LED displays that actively update bus routes for those waiting rather than requiring them to use devices to check, as many people who are using public transport may not have access to said devices.

Project | Crystal Library and Apartments

Location | Kirkwood, Georgia; United States

Description | This project was a small scale mixed-use library and apartment complex. This design was inspired by the modular, brutalist design of Habitat 67. However, rather than having each apartment be a module, I translated the modularity to a smaller scale to be each room attached to a repeated apartment core.

However, the library portion of this design completely contrasts the apartments, utilizing the shade created by the massive towers to become a fragile glass encasement, creating a delicate void between the masses.

The residential section consists of 2 unique apartment towers, created by modular apartments combining a main living core and bedroom module(s). The bedroom modules can connect to the main living cores anywhere along the red shaded section, as long as the red connection of the module fully connects. Bedroom modules include a master module, single module, and double module, By utilizing this modular formation, the apartments come together on the main circulation core to create depth through the voids inbetween. These voids can then be utilized as patio space.

The elements grouped within the bands based on optimal programmatic adjacencies. These bands are then organized to follow the paths designated by the sun, as such leisure spaces to some direct sun, but most stacks are largely kept direct sun.

Modular pieces connect to main core at red shaded areas at either level 1 or level 2

Division of Soft Muscle Cells

When looking at the forms of cells under a microscope, you can generally only see the outer wall of the cell and loosely see the nucleus form. However, during cell division, the nucleus begins to condense before splitting, making it much more visible to the eye. In this example, I chose to look at muscle cells dividing for their more regulated shapes and how they frame the nucleus. Using this as inspiration, I formed a modular pattern, with spotting spheres representing the glowing nuclei shining in randomized areas. This pattern is fairly simple and can therefore be bent and twisted onto any surface desired.

Cell Layers in the Skin

Human skin contains multiple layers of different types of cells to form the protective outer layer of out bodies. This modular design takes inspiration from the geometry within the layers as they shift from very stiff, brick-and-mortar geometry to a more randomized and flowing geometry to finally completely random form. The topmost layer, containing corneocytes, or the dead skin cells, overlap in a firm, fairly set pattern, to form a protective layer. This geometry inspired me to create a very geometric and strong structural module as the first layer. The next cell are the keratinocytes, which are much more fluid and open in their geometry, leading to a more open, curvy shape for the second module, with more gaps allowed in the overall configuration. The third module comes from the elastic mucus of the dermis, completely random and stringy in form, and is represented in the strings attached to the tips of the second module, completely loose and fluid in form.

Project | Imoogi Temple

Location | Gangnam, South Korea

Description | This project was designed to be a theoretical “temple”, meant as a study into the human experience of circulation in a large tower, and breaking away from traditional approaches of said circulation. This design was a personal exploration into grasshopper to create coiling towers, bringing explorers through three different swirling masses with terraces as breaks. The design was inspired by the mythical beast, “Imoogi”, described in Korean culture to be an adolescent dragon that takes it’s flight into adulthood once it has reached 1000 years of age.

Project | Son Tower

Location | Gangnam, South Korea

Contributors | Maya Schiltz, Kevin Toudeka

Description | Son Tower is a high rise partnership project designed to look as if a hand was reaching down from above. This concept was inspired from the program, a mixed-use skincare pharmaceutical office and plastic surgery clinic. This is the first of 2 iterations of this program design.

The preliminary form was shaped from a hand reaching down and cradling the site. It was then abstracted to form two towers making up the main hand with fingers and thumbs, delicatly in

tervining into each other to leave a gap but still appears as if it is one tower.

The next step was cutting apart this form to create terraces and a programtic split to suit privacy needs of the program within.

After the cuts were set, the bottom of most sec

tions were reformed to maximize the site usage, as well as recombine, as the inner corner of the site led to the backside alley of another building and thus did not need a opening to access.

After the form was finalized, vertical circulation cores were added to allow transportation between towers, as well as primary strucutral cores to hold the tower

Finally, a curtain was overlayed on top and formed to appear like fingers wrapping around the form, both for further structure and to work as a facade system for privacy and sun shading.
