VIR
Vir’s program is a reasearch lab that is located on the New Jersey coast. The solid/void form is derived from shifting, extruding, diffrencing, and thickening surfaces.

Ark is divided into a series of protruding steel triangular strips that mesh figure and ground.These strips filter light through the rhythemic transitions between gaps.

CAVERN Cavern is a 1000 cubic feet workspace for the average architecture student, whose program is based on three forms of inhabitation, (standing, sitting, sleeping), and when combined by crossing and subtracting create ambiguous spaces.

The workspace forms by boolean differencing the three forms of inhabitaion from a solid volume.Thereafter, a series of modular cubes that resemble pyramidlike volumes in the x, y, and z axis are excavated from the structure. These excavations transform the space by; alternating elevations in the pyramid-like cubes make additional storage spaces, allowing for light to penetrate through skylights which makes varying degrees of lighting coditions, as well as providing a mulititude of self-generated spaces for inhabitiation.
