In this project, I was given the Sarabhai House by Le Corbusier in Ahmedabad, India as my precedent. We were tasked to study the tectonic of our precendent, then turning it into a 9”x9”x9” cube. In my cube, i used the vaults, beams and walls as my main concept, then having wooden blocks intersecting the volume in the cube.

In this project, we were tasked to design a community arts center at Thornden Park, a park at the north eastern side of Syracuse University.

I incooperate the context of the site to develop the design of the building, by using insparation from the terrain, city grid, and density of student body. Other than the building design, we had to consider the tectonic in the building which we learned from the previous project.

TECTONIC STUDY PT.3: PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER PHILADELPHIA, PA

For the third tectonic project, we were tasked to design a community arts center in Philadelphia. The program of the building is similar to the second tectonic project. Here, we analyzed the surrounding of the site in detail and tried to get insparation from it. The site is located at a corner of a city block in South Philadelphia, which we discovered that the surrounding of the city block is always much taller than the inner block. In my design, there is a lift in volume at the corner of the block, which causes the corner of the building to have a larger presence in the area. Whereas the other side of the buidling, it blends in well with its surrounding context by having a repetition pattern.

The Erie Canal was the transportation marvel of its day. It reduced the travel time from the Hudson River to the Great Lakes by one half and provided travelers a welcome alternative to the rutted, muddy road of the stage coach. Passengers traveled on packet boats COMFORTpulled by a team of horses or mules at a leisurely pace equivalent to that+- 39,000 offt a fast walk.These boats are about 70 feet long, and with the exception of the Kitchen and bar, is occupied as a Cabin.

Bunker architecture was used as my precedent for this project. The reason why it was chosen was because bunke r architecture manages to blend in to its surrounding very well. It is a great combination of terrain and amphibious. It camouflages with its surrounding, shaping itslf based on the existing geological form. It portrays a message of territory, without having anything to proof. All of the buildings in the site are made out of concrete, enabling a natural texture on its surface.
