Architecture informs buildings. Without structure, there is no building and therefore no architecture. When temporal finishes, facades, and program are stripped away, all that is left is structure. The term structure is usually used to describe a group of parts that come together to bear a load. It is when we peel away all of these layers, we can produce a level of transparency by fully expressing the structure. By doing this, we are giving the elements of the structure the opportunity to perform functions past what we deem as standard, and making full use of each possible member in the design. Structural elements are then able to define a hierarchy of spaces and conditions.

In the case of steel structures, the addition of cables in tension allows for a simplified structural system that does not require connection to the ground and therefore allows for street level activation. This gives way for public presence to really take place within the same vertical space as the building itself, without one impeding the other. This allows for a large footprint of a building without the intrusion of the private sector on the ground level.

When given the choice between an additive and reductive strategy, a more refined solution will provide for increased flexibility for future adaptation. A rigid but simple framework of building structure and systems can easily be worked and reworked over time without requiring extensive modifications to effectively respond to ever-changing conditions and programmatic needs.

Architecture informs buildings. Without structure, there is no building and therefore no architecture. The structural logic should be legible to the users and make full use of each member in the design. At the same time the elements of the structure can define a variety of spaces and conditions.

This project strives to create a lasting structure that provides a forced irregularity through many iterations over the course of time. A rigid but simple superstructure and its corresponding systems can easily be worked and reworked over time without requiring extensive modifications to effectively respond to ever-changing conditions and programmatic needs.

A landscape strategy should not belong to a building, nor should a building belong to a landscape strategy. Rather, the two should belong equally to each other and primarily to the site on which they exist. In this project, our aim is to respect the naturally occurring conditions on site through our intervention while also blurring the edge between the structure and the landscape components of that intervention.

A successful, but simple envelope strategy should prioritize elements of the human experience: daylight, natural ventilation, views, and circulation.

The landscape should be a continuation of the experience had within the building while also serving a utilitarian function.

Designing mechanical systems is not an essential part of the process of designing a structure. However, the careful integration of those two components is what makes for a truly successful architectural project.

Well designed mechanical systems should allow for complete control of individual zones within the building; this allows for both minimal waste in energy consumption and also the most comfortable environment for the occupants. To accomplish this, mechanical considerations should be taken from the early stages of the project, with components that are designed in tandem with the structural, envelope, and landscape strategy.
