Nina Nazarov Greetings, They say architects need to know a little bit about everything. There is no real limit to the scope of the work of an architect. I find that there is great benefit in looking at an architectural position as a master coordinator. There is great value in creating a unified drawing set and greater value in taking a collaborative approach from design through construction. Upon starting my career I plan on taking the steps to obtain my license, starting with the Internship Development Program. I am looking for an employer who can support me through the IDP process through a mentoring experience. As a fifth year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I am currently working on my thesis exploring nature’s elements through a phenomenological approach. I have taken a tactical concept, incorporating together elements of gravity, temporal versus permanent, holistic relationships, and adaptive reuse by defining a whole body and mind experience. I enjoyed putting together this body of work. I hope you enjoy looking through it. Sincerely,
Nina Nazarov

The site is an infill project bridging the gap between two story tall colorful row houses and a five story tall brick apartment building. The formal gesture is to use the existing heights to unify the infill, with the intersection creating sunlit circulation. The main materials used are perforated corten, vegetation and glass. Perforated Corten steel is used to compliment the vegetation with its earthy and evolving tones, as well as lighting quality.

A space should be molded around the user, defining how and why the space is used. The space should create a whole body and mind experience by taking a phenomenological approach. Landscape Analogue [bottom] . The intervention highlights the natural cycles occurring between the ocean and the rock. Sited on the edge of the rock formation at Spooners Cove in Montana de Oro, the intervention follows the form of the rock formation in plan and the horizon line of the ocean in elevation. The juxtaposition is revealed in various scale and perspective angles.

Located in Tuolemne County at the foothills of Yosemite, Pine Mountain Lake is supported by the older and adjacent communities of Groveland and Big Oak Flats. The Groveland - Big Oak Flats area is a considerable stop between the Bay Area and Yosemite National Forest. The site is located at the backyard of my parent’s property in the foothills of Yosemite. Situated awkwardly on the site, the prefabricated house holds itself as a place of shelter. The backyard has greater potential to be a place to exist along side nature.

The small scale of the program allows for a holistic approach. The varied program, including a tree house, sauna, pool, yoga room, a dining area and a path, is interrelated through a nourishment from nature and phenomenological applications. Gravity is used to pull from the sky and push into the ground, where elements of the sky are temporal and ground are permanent.

Reclaim is a chair for dining, utilizing adaptive repurposing of a wine barrel. At 5’ - 4”, the tall back of the chair defines the dining area, when used in a set of 6 or 8 chairs. The design - build approach initiated learning the parameters between the material and available tools. It was a valuable tool in design which allowed to test a design against the factors of the physical world. 1 of 1

The withdrawal from contextual relationships ultimately leads to an internal focus. Furthermore, an interior and exterior organizational relationship is employed through utilizing less items to achieve complexity. Thus, the interior is simply reflected on the exterior with the focus being on the internal relationships, not the external relationships. The geometry of the constructed box has an internal focus while the organic nature of the wrapped box has an external focus. The constructed box has no relationship to the context, the object, a lighter. Moreover, a traditional box has six planes or sides, while the constructed box only has 4. The folding pattern only uses horizontal and vertical folds. The pattern is linked to the shape, which defines horizontal and vertical conditions. The folding pattern in this case leaves the openness of the box as the focus. On the other hand, the process of wrapping around the object lends to a purely contextual form. The folding pattern is full of complexity in the relationship of the valley folds and rim folds. The attention remains on the complexity of the folds and shape in an attempt to the relate to the context. This complexity acquires all the attention. Aldo Rossi draws a relationship between context and complexity. “The deformation of the relationships between those elements surrounding, as it were, the main theme, draws me toward an increasing rarefaction of parts in favor of more complex compositional methods.”1 In the dynamic relationship between the surroundings and complexity, the relationship to the surrounding elements is weakening which is related to the decrease in items used to achieve complexity. Rossi argues that the withdrawal from creating a contextual relationship causes a simplification of complexity. If one relationship is weakened, then another has to be strengthened. The Cocoon Building is an example of how an internal focus strengthens work and collaboration. This office building is situated on a lot surrounded by trees, but it does not try to relate to the trees. The concept is a spiral form, slowly spiraling outward.2 The concept defines both the internal and external organization. This form is clearly expressed on the exterior. Furthermore, a central void defines the spiral and allows for a visual, auditory and conceptual link between all the floors. The constructed box, Aldo Rossi, and The Cocoon all claim simplicity will direct attention accordingly with the concept. In the case of the constructed box, the simplicity of the concept aims the attention to the interior of the box by provoking curiosity. Rossi argues that simplicity can be created through withdrawal from the context. If it is not through means of the context, then is simplicity created through means of the concept? Lastly, the spiral concept of the Cocoon building, uses simply uses the concept literally to create opportunities for interaction. Internal focuses are becoming a new architectural alternative to contextual relationships. Through the simple nature of expressing the interior on the exterior, contextual boundaries are no longer the driving force of design. 1 Nesbitt, Kate, ed.
