potential location, main entrance to the building, and the textural difference between the concrete "site" and the woven fabric "prosthetic" -- rendered user serves as main scale
software used overall --
- Modo and Rhinoceros 4.0 for 3D modelling - VRay plug-in for Rhinoceros for all rendering - Adobe Photoshop to touch up all renderings - AutoCAD Architecture for all plans and detailed drawings - Adobe Illustrator for final CAD drawings - Model making and concrete work for final model

- houses sleeping, resting, and eating rituals - the geometry of this prosthetic mimics the folding and repetition on the casted object - houses bathing ritual
second alteration

shows the relationship between prosthetics that house rituals, the casted object, and the carved site. 1.1 Ritual Prosthetic
initial base level
final base level
- this site was carved out of wood to elongate the folding and repetition that persists on the casted object
2: Structural Ateration--
in order to cast the object, there were some structural modification that had to be done to ensure its structural stability: 2.1 Initial Position: 2.2 First Alteration: - the curved side had to be fanned out in order to balance the structure 2.3 Second Alteration: - after a failed cast, the curved side had to be fanned further as well as adding to the base 2.4 Final Alteration: - additional thickness on the bottom added and curved side pushed out further. this redesign was successful in casting this final object
alert; rapid resting; calm House of Rituals --
entry
exit
the color gradient represents gradual change in the alertness when someone walks into the house to when he begins to relax and unwind. after a night sleep, he is re-energized and the next ritual (bathing) will prepare him to exit the house and seize the day.
Order of Rituals (chronologically) -- entry - sitting - resting - sleeping - resting - sitting + eating - bathing - exit
Ritual Collage and Diagram --
the ďŹ xed entry and exit deďŹ nes the linear sense of ritual. as one will enter from the entrance, he would slowly be molded into a relaxation position (from sitting upright--to lounging--to sleeping position). as one proceed to exit the space, he would be prompted the reverse position and be brought to the bathing ritual; thus, preparing him for the life outside.
1. Zoomed in ďŹ nal cast --
this zoomed in picture shows the repetition of the ribbing and the subtle curve along the ribs and the bottom plate.
2. Formwork Pictures --
the formwork was created with the combination of both wood and foam cores. Plywood was cut into solid triangles to create the ribbing, bent sheets of wood was used to create the subtle curve, and the foam cores were used to provide most of the structure to hold the weight of the concrete.
<<1 2>> Final Casted and Form Work Pictures -several alterations had to be done to the initial geometry of the object in order to make it cast-able.

location --
Mission St. and 8th Street, SOMA, San Francisco
focal point --
main entrance to the building, and the contextual relationship with the surrounding buildings. the building picks up on the vertical grid from the building around it.
software used overall --
- Rhinoceros 4.0 for 3D modelling - VRay plug-in for Rhinoceros for all rendering - Adobe Photoshop to touch up all renderings - AutoCAD Architecture for all plans and detailed drawings - Adobe Illustrator for final CAD drawings - Model making including plexyglass and woodworking used for final model

1: Basketball Court--
the entrance brings you up to the basketball court immediately which encourages spontaneous participation by the community.
2: Circulation Ramp--
1 3
the ramp takes you vertically through the building. the ramp portrays the nuance of the building itself: transparent and open to public, while its haze keeps it separate enough to be an escape from the city.
3: Community Pool--
the pool is directly under the roof cuts, providing ample daylighting, while keeping it indoor increased its season's versatility.
4: Rooftop Garden + Community OďŹ&#x192;ces--
the top of the building housed the garden and the oďŹ&#x192;ces that are opened to the skylights to increase daylighting use.
2 4 Rendered Progression --
these rendered moments begin to display the transparent quality that opens itself to the community while the exterior ďŹ ns project artistic shadow play throughout the building

the apartment is right off of the Freeway 24 and a bus stop is located in front of Temescal Plaza.
UP
Neighborhood --
the apartment is surrounded by other dense living apartments, increasing the chance for a community to be born.
Detailed Plan --
rendered plan view over a detailed drafted floor plan drawing. the grid used on the plan optimized the number of individual units that the building could house.
