WOOD ARTIFACT

We were tasked to experience, explore, and document 2-3 demensional phenomena, translating animate [in]animate phenomena into 2 demensional visual design narratives of pattern languages, tactile surfaces - a formal and rational compositional ordering system of modulating scale, proportion of form - space - order.

The object’s concept is not best explained by a single moment but by an approach, I developed through my design process.

Cantilever

A structures project focussing on single steel and wood members and their performance - turned design charette - developed into a small art gallery cantilevered out 100’ into the mountain range.

This project returns to fundamentals, with concise concept sketches following a modular language informed by the materials’ structural limitations. The structure is produced by two separate L-shaped truss systems intersecting, which suspend the habitable gallery space within the structural members. Resulting in a relatively simple design consisting of a structural exo skeleton and an internal wall system cladded on the outside with metal paneling.

Through their overlap, the primary circulation is created - marking the only moment the structure is experienced internally as you walk through a ramp between the interlocking truss systems.
