The goal of this project was to design a structure using irregularly cut parts containing at least two implied spaces within a 6” x 6” x 6” space. The project aimed to provide an understanding of plans, sections, axonometrics, as well as concepts of defined space and volume.

Learning Space The first part of this project involved measuring and documentating the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts by Le Corbusier in Cambridge, MA. In the second part of the project, we were asked to design an outdoor learning space that could accommodate groups of varying sizes - small, medium, and large. Upon carefully studying the dimensions and patterns of the building laid out by Le Corbusier, I sought to create a space that merged fluidly with the Carpenter Center by continuing some of its major dynamics. My design takes cues from the angles created by the brise-soleils found along the faces of the building, as well as from the rows of columns found within the space. The utilization of overlapping squares of different sizes and steps of varying heights results in a number of spaces suitable for learning.

Pavilion

Perspective 2

This project involved incorporating apertures to design a pavilion at Christian Science Plaza which would frame the space around it, while simultaneously creating an experience for the visitor by displaying the sculptures Appeal to the Great Spirit by Cyrus Dalin and Untitled by Joel Shapiro. My pavilion is box-like in design, sheltering both sculptures and inviting the visitors to enter and walk through in order to view both sculptures. Along the walls are aperture windows that interact with the different buildings around the pavilion.

Museum Stairs For this project we were asked to design a museum with stairs that would house two paintings, The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit and St. Luke Drawing the Virgin. My design explores the concepts of light exposure and sequencing in order to enhance the experience of viewing the paintings. Visitors can choose one of two sets of stairs leading to the upper level, where both paintings can be found. The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit is displayed in a compressed room with dim lighting from a single side window, while St. Luke Drawing the Virgin is hung high in a ramped room with maximum light coming in from ceiling apertures. The long hallway connecting the two rooms has a series of lengthening windows that gradually increase or decrease the level of light, depending on which way you enter. The different lighting techniques are intended to externalize the atmospheres of each painting to make the experience more emotional - the dimness makes The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit eerier and more intimate, while the brightness and ramped elevation makes St. Luke Drawing the Virgin seem more holy.
