Utopia. “Place has two meanings: topic--rhetorical and poetic thoughts and formulae--and topographic-a fragment of space possessing its own unity and (often) its own name. The name is a “no place,” i.e., the very place of the text: Utopia is not a topography but a topic. It is often said that it is an imaginary place. Rather, it is an indetermined place. Better yet, it is the very indetermination of place.” S, M, L, XL, Ofice for Metropolitan Architecture, pp. 1269, 1272

[the exploding edenic inevitable]
American utopian traditions show that architecture is fundamentally driven by ideology.

Architecture was the means by which Shakers and Hippies alike directly expressed their ethos and ritualized their lifestyle. Many of these theocratic, socialist, and techno-rustic communities did not last beyond 2 or 3 generations, (only three active Shakers remain in the world) and their planning visions were often rhetorical.

The core design approach is to remake, appropriate, and hybridize references from worlds that are alien to one another.

The following work synthesizes these idea(l)s of utopianism, appropriation, and representation into a proposal for a building in Chicago with public space, a commercial plinth, and a tower of housing. The idea is to exploit the commonalities between the architecture of Mies van der Rohe, and the Shakers.

The aesthetic ethos of Mies van der Rohe and the Shakers are actually quite similar.

[Platforms Digital Design Workshop]
Curve, Transformation, Volume, Representation The following work was produced in a two week long workshop designed to provide architecture and design students with a thorough introduction to contemporary methods and techniques in architectural production, representation, and communication. This project examines the transformation of primitive curves to evolved volumes based on the geometry of a cube. Design software used: Rhino 5/Grasshopper, Adobe Illustrator CS6, and Adobe Photoshop CS6

This seminar project attempts to experiment with the formal inversion of interior and exterior. The following work deforms formal and spatial legibilities of the inside and the outside by working with both mind and matter, geometry and plaster. Initial experimentation with the material limitations and qualities of stuffed animals and toys help lead to a more architectural inquiry: the topological transformation of interior typologies.

“Rather than the pursuit of continuity, we will examine and catalog differences between interior and exterior conditions (in architecture, decor, and elsewhere) and experiment with their transposition, inversion, and involution.� Andrew Zago

Early studies using stuffed animals show various states of inside in/outside out and inside out/ outside in conditions. Stuffed animals provide a malleable sack that can be manipulated topologically in terms of surface and material. Experiments in plaster offer a study in thickness and poche. These studies in precedence and experiments in materials form a foundation preceding a speciic area of study, as shown in the following pages.

How would one invert and transpose the form of a building’s innermost space? Can the most identiiable interior space of a building, such as a central drum, also be the most identiiable exterior space of a building? These questions examine the territory between spatial typologies often belonging to the center such as cloisters and courtyards as they relate to conditions of interior/exterior, threshold, poche, and topology.
