BALANC3

BALANC3 explores the ever growing conversation between analogue and digital, highlighting the potential co-existence of our digital and analogue realities. Located in Downtown Los Angeles, The structure acts as both a library and data center. The architecture of the structure is a documentation of how we know analogue and digital. The analogue expresses freedoms, artistic inefficiencies, and flaws. The digital; restriction, maximum efficiency, and beyond physical form. BALANC3 focuses on spaces that allow for the two to not only affect each other but encourage a harmonized spatial conversation in program and experience. The most prominent of such is the use of infrastructure. Clearly visible in the garden, where the massive Infrastructure of the data center, HVAC, and cooling systems not only line the walls but in some cases act as sculpture and spatial objects. But furthermore to be seen as an object of beauty in the same way a flower from a typical garden is seen and felt. Serenity not created by the gentle breeze or by a flower field, but rather a garden of slow spinning fan blades, and the gentle humming of the HVAC.

...ALMOST

ALMOST is a study of spatial intimacy, exploring vast and extremely tight sensations of space through contrasting program and form. The large rusted blades seemingly pierce the school, becoming both individual objects and one, through proximity to not only one another but also the relation of the viewer to the form. Behaving as a rooftop learning space, the blades separate spaces and begin to function not only as walls but as objects that cut, hide, and bend space. Certain moments the blades span 8’ apart from one another yet bend to form a 3’ bottleneck, almost too close to walk through. Contrasting the completely open floor plan of the classrooms and learning spaces below. The primarry School, located in Boyle Heights Los Angeles, is designed to encourage space to be treated not as non-existent but rather an invisible solid that is defined and shaped by walls, roofs and ceilings.

STEP & “STEP: 1”

Step & “Step: 1” is a developing project that explores the moment in which the unquantified, free movement of humans becomes defined in space while simoultaniously defining that same space. The study of “the step” (physical), heavily inflences the form of the structure through a design based on the annotation of motion. The structure is inhabbited by both a market space as well as dance studio. Both use “the step” in different ways, the market in means of arriving, touching, and collecting. In dance it is used as a means to achieving a specific experience, a specific language expressed through motion. Step & “Step: 1” is a project dedicated to the co-existance of “The Step.”

“ACID BOOM”

ACID BOOM is a sharp, fuzzy, loud, and slightly obnoxious language. That uses material and form to express these characteristics. I explored forms that I encounter in day to day life, and studied them to create a unique language. This furthers the ever-growing conversation between form and its relationships to space. ACID BOOM is focused on the study of these objects and furthering our relationship to space influenced by the plasticity of objects. Through the use of materials used to construct the “world” we rediscover the negative space as volume through form.
