BARCELONA PAVILION location:

BARCELONA, SPAIN duration:

4 WEEKS

goal:

IDENTIFY A CONCEPT SEEN THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURE AS A BASE IDEA FOR AN ADDITION

TOP: IMAGE OF BARCELONA PAVILION TAKEN FROM ARCHDAILY.COM BOTTOM: REDRAWING OF CURRENT PLAN 8

JULY 16, 2012

AFTER REDRAWING THE PLAN OF THE

BARCELONA PAVILION, I REALIZED THE SUCCESS OF THIS ARCHITECTURE IS MAINLY DUE TO ITS PLANES. DESIGNING AN ADDITION FOR THE BARCELONA PAVILION, I’D WANT TO DESIGN WITH THIS SAME INTENTION IN WHICH LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE HAD.

I BEGAN BY SKETCHING OUT IDEAS

SEEN THROUGH THE CURRENT ARCHITECTURE. MY FIRST ANALYSIS SKETCH DEPICTS HOW THE PLANES OF THE PAVILION DICTATE CIRCULATION THROUGH THE ENTIRE SPACE. THE SECOND SKETCH

DEPICTS

PLANAR

EXTENSION

THROUGHOUT THE SPACE. THE FINAL SKETCH DEPICTS MATERIAL DENSITY AND HOW THE TREATMENT OF SOLID VERSUS TRANSLUCENT EFFECTS THE OVERALL COMPOSITION OF THE SPACE.

THE ADDITION BEING DESIGNED WAS

TO HAVE A PERFORMANCE SPACE AS WELL AS A BATHROOM CORE.

TOP: PLANES + MOVEMENT MIDDLE: PLANAR EXTENSION BOTTOM: MATERIAL DENSITY - SOLID VS. TRANSLUCENT SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

ADDITION SCHEME 1 SOLELY UTILIZES

THE IDEA OF PLANAR EXTENSION TO SHAPE MOVEMENT AND SUGGEST THE CREATION OF SPACE. THE MOVEMENT FOR THE ADDITION MIMICS THAT SAME WAVY CIRCULATION THAT IS SEEN IN THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURE.

ADDITION 2 EXPERIMENTS WITH PLANAR

EXTENSION BUT ALSO UTILIZES THE IDEA OF DENSITY. IN THIS SCHEME, SOLID MATERIALS (FOAM CORE) VISUALLY ENVELOPES THE CORE OF THE SPACE AND LIMITS ENTRY INTO THE SPACE.

THE

BASSWOOD

REPRESENTS

THE

TRANSLUCENT MATERIAL.

TOP: ADDITION SCHEME 1 BOTTOM: ADDITION SCHEME 2 10

JULY 16, 2012

THE THIRD ADDITION SCHEME IS A

FINALIZED VERSION THAT EMBODIES THE IDEAS FROM BOTH ADDITION 1 AND ADDITION 2. IT ALSO USES EXTENSION OF PLANES TO GUIDE THE USER’S PATH. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT THE PLANES ARE DIRECTED TOWARD THE CORE TO ELIMINATE THE “BOUNDARIES” SO THAT THE SITE CAN BE APPROACHED FROM ANY DIRECTION. THIS ALLOWS VISUAL ACCESS TO THE SITE WHICH WILL ATTRACT USERS TO THE SPACE. THIS WILL INEVITABLY ATTRACT USERS TO EXPERIENCE THE ENTIRE SITE AND GUIDE USERS TO THE BARCELONA PAVILION, WHICH IS LOCATED AT A HIGHER ELEVATION THAN THE ADDITION, GIVING IT IMPORTANCE OVER THE ADDITION.

JULY 16, 2012

TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF

OUR SITE I BEGAN THE PROJECT WITH A MAPPING OF THE GENERAL AREA TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IT LACKS, WHAT ITS POTENTIALS ARE, AND WHERE TO BEGIN. THIS MAPPING GAVE ME SOME KEY FACTORS WHICH WOULD HELP IN DECISION MAKING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SEMESTER. THE SITE ITSELF FACES A WATER FRONT AND HAS A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE ZAKIM BRIDGE, AN ICON OF BOSTON. TO THE LEFT OF THE SITE IS THE TD GARDEN, HOME OF THE BOSTON CELTICS AND BOSTON BRUINS. BEHIND THE SITE IS A MAJOR COMMERCIAL HUB OF THE CITY AS WELL AS THE NORTH END, A VAST RESIDENTIAL AREA.

IMAGE: MAPPING DIAGRAM OF AREA SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

13

WHAT

INTRIGUED

ME

THE

MOST

ABOUT THE AREA WAS THE ARCHITECTURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND ITS DIVERSITY IN TERMS OF BUILDING USAGE. THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A HEAVY COMMERCIAL BLOCK RIGHT NEXT TO A MAJOR RESIDENTIAL AREA OF THE CITY WITH ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE IN BETWEEN AS A BUFFER SPARKED MUCH INTEREST IN THE LOVEJOY WHARF SITE. THIS OBSERVATION YIELDED THE NEED FOR A SPACE THAT WAS A BUFFER TO THESE DIFFERENT BUILDING TYPES.

IMAGE: RESIDENTIAL MAPPING 14

JULY 16, 2012

REDRAWING

THE

INFRASTRUCTURE

THROUGH HAND ALLOWED ME TO SEE THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS THE RESIDENTIAL AREA HAD WHEN COMPARED TO THE COMMERCIAL AREA. THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY HAS A VERY COMPACTED AND SCATTERED LAYOUT TO ITS STREETS. THE BUILDINGS ARE LOW VOLUME BUT THERE IS VERY HIGH NUMBER OF THEM IN A CONDENSE ARRANGEMENT. THE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY

HAS

A

VERY

ORGANIZED

AND

PRECISE GRID LAYOUT TO ITS STREETS. THE BUILDINGS ARE VERY HIGH VOLUME WITH TALL TOWERS BUT A MUCH LESS NUMBER OF THEM. THESE BUILDINGS ARE ALSO SPACED AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.

IMAGE: COMMERCIAL VS. RESIDENTIAL ANALYSIS SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

15

AFTER A SITE VISIT, A VERY DOMINATE

FACTOR TO THE SITE WAS THE NOISE COMING FROM THE HIGH VELOCITY TRAFFIC OF I-93 ON THE ZAKIM BRIDGE. THE NOISE WAS UNBEARABLE AND ANY SPACE THERE, SPECIFICALLY OUTDOORS, WOULD BE DEEMED UNDESIRABLE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF NOISE. AS I CONTINUED TO ANALYZE THE SITE, NOISE REDUCTION WAS A MAJOR GOAL FOR MY DESIGN.

LOOKING AT THE SITE IN ELEVATION I

REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A SENSE OF BALANCE TO THE AREA. IF YOU USED THE “BUFFERING” ZONE AS A DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE TWO AREAS, THE IDEA OF BALANCE COMES TO MIND. THE HIGH VOLUME, BUT SMALL NUMBER, OF TALL BUILDINGS ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE IS COUNTER BALANCED BY THE LOW VOLUME, BUT VERY LARGE NUMBER, OF BUILDINGS ON THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE.

THESE TWO IDEAS, NOISE REDUCTION

AND BALANCE, COUPLED TOGETHER WOULD BE THE DRIVING FORCES TO THE DESIGN FOR THE REST OF THE SEMESTER. I SOUGHT TO HAVE BOTH IDEAS CO-EXIST IN THIS DESIGN. WITHOUT NOISE REDUCTION, THE SITE WOULD BE UNBALANCED AND UNDESIRABLE. WITHOUT BALANCE, THE SITE WOULD BE OVERWHELMINGLY NOISY.

IMAGE: BALANCE IDEA AND PRELIMINARY CONCEPT 16

JULY 16, 2012

IN THESE MODELS, I PLAYED WITH

USING THE BUILDING MASS AS A WAY TO BLOCK THE NOISE COMING FROM THE ZAKIM BRIDGE SIDE AS WELL AS THE NOISE COMING FROM THE CHARLESTOWN BRIDGE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. ALSO, USING ANGLES AND PITCHED ROOFS TO REDIRECT NOISE AWAY FROM THE SITE WAS ONE STRATEGY IN HELPING REDUCE NOISE IN THE SITE. TWO MASSES AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE WHARF GAVE THE SENSE OF BALANCE TO THE SITE.

17

THE ASSIGNED PROGRAM FOR THE

SPACE CONSISTED OF A CAFÉ/SPORTS BAR, A TOURIST INFORMATION STAND, AND A PAVILION. I SOUGHT TO LAYER THESE PROGRAMMATIC SPACES AGAINST EACH OTHER AS A WAY TO BUFFER NOISE DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH NOISE COULD BE ALLOWED TO PENETRATE THAT SAID SPACE. THE SPORTS BAR WOULD BE CLOSETS TO THE NOISE BECAUSE SPORTS BARS ARE ALREADY NOISY WHEREAS THE PAVILION WOULD WANT HAVE AS MUCH NOISE BLOCKED AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE PERFORMANCES HAPPENING IN THE SPACE. THESE DRAWINGS DEPICT TWO ITERATIONS ON HOW THE LAYERING COULD BE ORGANIZED AS WELL HAS HOW THE ROOFS MAY BE POSITIONED.

IMAGE: ITERATION 1 SKETCH 18

JULY 16, 2012

INSTEAD

OF

ADDING

ANOTHER

BUILDING TO THE LEFT SIDE AS SHOWN IN THE MODELS IN THE PREVIOUS PAGE, I DECIDED TO INCORPORATE A LANDSCAPE TO ATTRACT USERS INTO THE SPACE. THE BRIDGE TRAIL THAT LEADS INTO THE SITE IS A CONTINUED TRAIL THAT PASSES THROUGH SEVERAL GREEN SPACES PRIOR TO REACHING THE LOVEJOY WHARF SITE. A LANDSCAPE/OUTDOOR SPACE ENTERING THE SITE THROUGH THIS TRAIL WOULD CONTINUE THAT TRADITION BUT WOULD ALSO LEAD INTO THE PAVILION SPACE LIKE A DESTINATION FOR THOSE WANDERING.

IMAGE: ITERATION 2 SKETCH SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

19

REALIZING THAT I WANTED AN OUTDOOR

GREEN SPACE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE, I LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT GREEN SPACES THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE GENERAL AREA OF THE SITE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE PROS AND CONS OFFERED IN EACH TO HELP DETERMINE HOW TO MAKE MY GREEN SPACE SUCCESSFUL. FACTORS SUCH AS VIEWS, QUIETNESS, AND ACCESS, WERE DRIVING FACTORS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL SPACES. THESE WOULD BE THE KINDS OF FACTORS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PRESENT IN THE DESIGNED GREEN SPACE TO MAKE IT AN EFFECTIVE ONE.

IMAGE: GREEN SPACE STUDY 20

JULY 16, 2012

ANOTHER

SITE

VISIT

WAS

NEEDED

TO RELOOK AT DIFFERENT ELEMENTS EACH GREEN

SPACE

OFFERED.

THESE

ELEMENTS

WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGNED GREEN SPACE. AFTER AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DIFFERENT SPACES, I REALIZED THAT THESE GREEN SPACES EACH OFFERED A SPECIFIC ELEMENT THAT SUGGESTED USE. ONE SPACE HAD REPEATING BLOCKS EQUALLY SPACED APART, TUCKED AWAY FROM THE PATH TO OFFER A PLACE FOR SEATING; A SPACE FOR PAUSE. ANOTHER GREEN SPACE HAD A VAST STRIP OF GRASS BACKED BY A LONG SOLID WALL EDGE WHICH OFFERED A PLACE FOR LAYING DOWN; A SPACE FOR REST. THE OTHER GREEN SPACE OFFERED A REALLY TALL EDGE WITH SOLID GROUND THAT OFFERED A PLACE FOR WALKING; A SPACE FOR MOVEMENT.

I SOUGHT TO USE EACH OF THESE

ELEMENTS IN MY SPACE TO INCORPORATE SEPARATE SPACES FOR PAUSE, FOR REST, AND FOR MOVEMENT.

IMAGE: STUDY OF “GREEN” ELEMENTS SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

THE FINAL PRODUCT CONSISTS OF TWO

ELEMENTS,

ARCHITECTURE

AND

LANDSCAPE

ARCHITECTURE. DEPENDING ON THE USER, THE ARCHITECTURE HAS TWO MAIN PROGRAMMATIC FUNCTIONS:

A

DESTINATION

FOR

THE

WATERFRONT PATH OF THE NORTH END OR THE ORIGIN FOR TOURIST TO VIEW THE AREA. IT ALSO ACTS AS A NOISE BARRIER FOR THE OUTDOORS SPACE TO PROVIDE A MORE COMFORTABLE AND

PLEASANT

OUTDOOR

SPACE.

WITHOUT

THIS BARRIER, SUCH A SPACE WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. THESE TO SPACES ACT TOGETHER TO REVITALIZE THE ABANDONED SITE, BRINGING BALANCE AND PURPOSE TO THE SPACE.

THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING HAS

A CAFÉ ON THE WEST SIDE, FOLLOWED BY THE TOURIST INFORMATION DESK/GATHERING SPACE, AND THE PAVILION ON THE EAST SIDE TOWARDS THE OUTDOOR SPACE. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, ABOVE THE CAFÉ IS THE SPORTS BAR THEN AN OVERHEAD BRIDGE OVER THE TOURIST AREA WHICH LEADS INTO AN OVERHEAD SETTING AREA FOR THE PAVILION.

23

THE

SECOND

FLOOR

SPORTS

BAR

OVERHANGS THE SITE TO BLOCK ANY EXTRA NOISE COMING FROM THE FAR END OF THE HIGHWAY. ALSO IT CREATES A NICE TUNNEL ENTRANCE INTO THE SITE, ALMOST LIKE OPENING UP INTO A NEW ENVIRONMENT. THE SITE IS HIDDEN FROM NEARLY ALL VIEWS, EXCEPT FROM THE NORTH END. THERE ARE ONLY TWO ACCESS POINTS WHICH AREN’T VERY DIRECT INTO THE SITE. THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING HUGS THE CORNER OF THE EXISTING ABANDONED BUILDING TO ATTRACT USERS AND ALLOW ANY USERS LOOKING FOR THE BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE IT.

I FEEL THAT THE GREEN SPACE OF THE

SITE IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPED AND WOULD LIKE MORE TIME TO MAKE IT MORE SUCCESSFUL AS AN OPEN SPACE FOR PUBLIC USE. THE BUILDING ITSELF ALSO LACKS THE DETAIL OF MATERIALITY AS WELL AS INTERIOR DESIGN. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE I WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK ON THESE ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT.

PROJECT 00 duration:

3 WEEKS

goal:

DOCUMENT AND UNDERSTAND A DETAILED SECTION IN ORDER TO ABSTRACT AND FORMULATE A TECTONIC STRATEGY

THE DETAIL I WAS PROVIDED WITH

WAS A SECTION OF A TYPICAL WOOD FRAME STUD CONSTRUCTION. I REDREW THE SECTION, AS WELL AS DREW UP A PLAN TO HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW IT IS CONSTRUCTED. FROM HERE I CREATED A MODEL OF THE ASSEMBLY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS IN ITS ENTIRETY AND HOW IT CREATES SPACE.

PLACEMENT

GIVES THE SENSE OF REPETITION. IT WAS IN MY INTEREST TO TAKE THIS REPETITION OF STUD AND ALTER IT WHILE STILL KEEPING ITS STRUCTURAL ESSENCE. FROM HERE I THOUGHT OF SPREADING THE SPAN BETWEEN SOME OF THE STUDS TO ALTER THE IDEA OF REPETITION TO THE IDEA OF RHYTHM. AS THE SPAN BETWEEN STUDS GETS BIGGER, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE ADDED FORCES. THIS MEANS EITHER MAKING THE MEMBERS THICKER OR MAKING THEM STRONGER.

IMAGE: DIAGRAM OF STUD REPETITION INTO RHYTHM SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

31

IN THIS MODEL, I CONCENTRATED ON

PLAYING WITH MATERIAL THICKNESS. THIS MODEL ENDED UP BEING TOO LITERAL TO THE DIAGRAM AND ONLY OFFERED A PLAY WITH PIERCING STRIPS THROUGH PLANES. FROM HERE I REALIZED THAT I SHOULD PLAY WITH PIERCING MULTIPLE PLANES. ALSO, THE THICKNESS OF THE MATERIALS WOULD HAVE TO BE EXAGGERATED IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH ONE FROM THE OTHER.

FOR

THIS

MODEL,

I

SPECIFICALLY

FOCUSED ON PIERCING THROUGH MULTIPLE PLANES. WHILE THIS MODEL CREATED A DYNAMIC FORM, I REALIZED IT WAS A STEP AWAY FROM THE STUD STUDY BECAUSE IT WAS PIERCING PLANES WITH PLANES INSTEAD OF PIERCING STRIPS THROUGH PLANES. HOWEVER IT HELPED WITH THE IDEA OF CREATING SPACE WITH THE DIFFERENT PLANES.

THE MODEL SHOWS THE SECOND AND

FINAL ITERATION OF MY TECTONIC STRATEGY IN CUBIC FORM. THE HORIZONTAL PLANES WERE EXTRUDED MORE TO CREATE A INHABITABLE SPACE. THE PIERCING STUDS STILL FOLLOW THE SAME SPACING SPANS AS THE PREVIOUS MODEL, BUT THEY RADIATE AWAY FROM THE CENTER. ALTHOUGH IT WASN’T MY INTENTION, BOTH MODELS WERE ABLE TO STAND PERFECTLY ON THE MAIN CENTRAL MEMBER GIVING A SENSE OF BALANCE TO THE IDEA.

JULY 16, 2012

THE IDEA BEHIND PROJECT 01 WAS TO

TAKE THE TECTONIC STRATEGY OF PROJECT 00, AND GIVE IT GROUND IN AN ACTUAL SITE. THE SITE GIVEN TO US WAS THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM, OWNED AND RUN BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY. BEFORE JUMPING INTO PROJECT 01, I BEGAN

BY GETTING AN OVERALL UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITE AND HOW ITS LAID OUT IN TERMS OF CIRCULATION AND LAYOUT. ARNOLD ARBORETUM IS A SPECIAL SITE THAT IS PRIVATE IN TERMS OF OWNER AND ORGANIZATION BUT ALLOWS AND ENCOURAGES PUBLIC USE. THE SITE IS USED FOR MANY DIFFERENT THINGS; RUNNING, PICNICS, DOG WALKING, SCENERY ENJOYMENT, ETC.

AFTER

THE

SITE

VISIT

AND

UNDERSTANDING THE GENERAL AREA, I LOOKED AT THE THREE SITE LOCATION OPTIONS FOR WHICH WE COULD DESIGN ON. I LOOKED AT EACH ONE TO NOTE THEIR PROS AND CONS AND WHAT EACH ONE HAS TO OFFER.

OF THE THREE SITES, SITE 3 SEEMED

TO ATTRACT ME THE MOST. THIS WAS MAINLY BECAUSE

OF

ITS

DIRECT

ACCESS

BOTH

FUNCTIONALLY AND VISUALLY OFF THE MAIN ENTRANCE PATH. THE SITE ALSO WAS ON A HILL WHICH MEANT ANYTHING BUILT ON IT WOULD BE RAISED IN ELEVATION, GIVING IT IMPORTANCE AND VALUE.

FROM

PROJECT

00,

MY

TECTONIC

STRATEGY DEALT WITH PIERCING COLUMNS THROUGH MULTIPLE PLANES. I SAW A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY IN PROJECT 01 PERTAINING TO THE TREES AND THE COLUMNS FROM PROJECT 00.

FOR PROJECT 01, I DECIDED TO USE THE CURRENT PLACEMENT OF TREES FROM THE ARBORETUM AS A GUIDE FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE COLUMNS IN A WAY THAT THEY WOULD SUGGEST CERTAIN SPATIAL QUALITIES. THESE SPATIAL QUALITIES WOULD THEN BE USED TO DEFINE SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING.

TO DO THIS I STUDIED THE EXACT

LOCATION OF EVERY TREE IN THE ARBORETUM, PROVIDED BY THEIR WEBSITE, TO SEE WHAT QUALITIES

I

COULD

GATHER

FROM

THIS

INFORMATION TO USE FOR MY COLUMN LAYOUT.

TOP + MIDDLE: TREE PLACEMENT QUALITIES BOTTOM: TREE DOT DRAWING

SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

41

FROM DOCUMENTING AND ANALYZING

THE TREES, I CAME UPON THREE TYPES OF SPACES THAT WERE SUGGESTED FROM THE SITE: CIRCULATION, INDIVIDUAL SPACE, AND LARGE GATHERING.

FOR CIRCULATION, THE TREES ARE

ARRANGED IN PAIRS, LINED UP TO CREATE A PATH. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE PATH WOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE TREES.

FOR THE INDIVIDUAL GATHERING SPACE,

THERE ARE IMPLIED LINES CONNECTING MANY OF THE TREES THAT CREATE SMALL CELLULAR UNITS FOR PRIVATE USE.

FOR THE LARGE GATHERING SPACE,

THERE IS A VAST IMPLIED EMPTY SPACE THAT IS ENCLOSED AND PROTECTED BY THE TREES.

I SOUGHT TO USE THESE DIFFERENT

LAYOUTS TO CREATE SPACES WITH CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS TO IMPLY THEIR PROGRAM AND USE.

FIRST SERIES OF SKETCH MODELS;

THE FIRST SERIES OF SKETCH MODELS

DEAL WITH THE TECTONIC STRATEGY BUT IN A DIFFERENT FORM TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE THE SITE. THE SITE INCLINES, SO SOME OF THE SPACES UPPER PLANES SIT BETTER TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE FORM WHEREAS THE FIRST LEVEL REACHES OUT MORE TO CONNECT TO THE EXISTING PATH. THIS GIVES THE MODEL MORE OF A PIN-WHEEL FORM.

ITERATIONS TWO AND THREE HAVE A

LAYOUT OF RULES WHICH WERE CARRIED OUT THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE SEMESTER. THE

FIRST

LEVEL

CONTINUES

THE

“TREE

ARRANGEMENT” THAT SUGGEST CIRCULATION TO GUIDE USERS INTO THE BUILDING. THE INDIVIDUAL SPACES ARE LOCATED ON THE SECOND LEVEL, PROTECTED BY THE THIRD LEVEL, GIVING THE SPACES MORE PRIVACY. THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE LARGE GATHERING SPACE LEVEL, OPEN TO VIEWS AND SUN FOR GROUP ENJOYMENT.

TOP: ITERATION 3 BOTTOM LEFT: ITERATION 1 BOTTOM RIGHT: ITERATION 2 44

JULY 16, 2012

AFTER

THE

FIRST

SERIES,

I REALIZED THAT THERE NEEDED TO BE A DISTINCTIVE THIRD MATERIAL TO CREATE SPACE. ITERATION THREE HAS A TRANSLUCENT MATERIAL BUT A TRANSLUCENT MATERIAL CANNOT STAND ON ITS OWN. THE WIRE MESH REPRESENTS A MATERIAL THAT IS STRUCTURAL ENOUGH TO STAND ON ITS OWN BUT STILL TRANSLUCENT. THIS ITERATION ALSO PLACE WITH SOME DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACES TO EMPHASIZE IMPORTANCE AND CREATE DYNAMIC SPACE.

AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, PROJECT 01

HAD DEVIATED FROM THE ORIGINAL TECTONIC STRATEGY THAT WAS DESIGNED IN PROJECT 00. THE PINWHEEL FORM WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL FORM WHICH WAS, IN MY OPINION, VERY SUCCESSFUL. THE CURRENT SPACES AS IS DIDN’T MAKE SENSE AND THEIR INTENDED USE WASN’T EASILY READABLE. ALSO, SPACE MAKING WOULD HAVE TO BE A STRONGER ASPECT MOVING FORWARD. HOWEVER THE CENTRAL ATRIUM DID CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY I THOUGHT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE.

JULY 16, 2012

INTRO: THE AREA IN WHICH OUR SITE

IS LOCATED IS RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF A VERY POPULAR AND BUSY STREET KNOWN AS BRIGHAM CIRCLE. THERE IS MUCH FOOT AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. PEOPLE IN THE AREA ARE IN A RUSH AND IN CONSTANT MOVEMENT. IT IS MY GOAL TO TRY TO PROVIDE A SPACE THAT WILL ATTRACT USERS INTO STOPPING FROM THEIR EVERYDAY HUSTLE TO RELAX AND ENJOY A DYNAMIC YET INTERACTIVE SPACE.

SITE ANALYSIS: AFTER A SITE VISIT

AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE SITE, I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS BIG DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE TWO ZONES OF THE AREA. THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS CONSIST OF HOSPITALS, HOTELS, AND GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. THERE ARE NO COMMON PUBLIC SPACES BETWEEN THESE TWO ZONES OTHER THAN THE SITE IN WHICH WE ARE DESIGNING AND SHOPPING PLAZA ACROSS THE STREET. I WAS INTERESTED IN LINKING THESE ZONES TOGETHER WITH THE INTENDED PROGRAM TO OFFER THE AREA A PUBLIC SPACE FOR THEIR AND SUCCEED IN MY GOAL PREVIOUSLY STATED.

TOP: RESIDENTIAL VS COMMERCIAL DIAGRAM BOTTOM: DISCONNECT OF CONTEXT DIAGRAM SEGMENT I PORTFOLIO

55

TO BEGIN, I STARTED BY DIAGRAMMING

AN IDEA I HAD THAT I THOUGHT THE TECTONIC STRATEGY THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN PROJECT 00 WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN. THIS IDEA WAS “ANCHORING.”

THIS

IDEA

WOULD

USE

THE

COLUMNS TO PENETRATE DEEP INTO THE SITE GROUND. THIS WOULD BOTH STRUCTURALLY AND SYMBOLICALLY GIVE GROUND TO THE BUILDING, MAKING IT PART OF THE SITE.

MIDDLE: ANCHORING DIAGRAM 01 BOTTOM: ANCHORING DIAGRAM 02 56

JULY 16, 2012

FROM THIS ANCHORING IDEA SPARKED

AN IDEA THAT USES THE PLANES OF THE TECTONIC SYSTEM TO HELP IN LINKING TOGETHER THE TWO ZONES. ONE WAY I WOULD TRY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WOULD BE THROUGH A VISUAL LINK; ALLOWING THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET SEE THE BUILDING AND SEE THE USERS TO INTEREST THEM INTO COMING TO SEE THE BUILDING AND WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER. ANOTHER IDEA WOULD BE THROUGH A PLANAR LINK; SOME SORT OF ELEMENT THAT REACHES INTO BOTH ENDS OF THE SITE, LINKING THE TWO ZONES TOGETHER. THE LAST IDEA IS A COMMUNAL LINK, ARRANGING THE PROGRAM WHICH HAS MORE RESIDENTIAL ASPECTS TO ONE SIDE AND THE COMMERCIAL ASPECTS TO ANOTHER, ACTING AS A FUNCTIONAL USE WITHIN THE SITE.

PERFORM, DISPLAY, EXPERIENCE, AND LEARN. PERFORM WAS TAKEN FROM SYMPHONY HALL, DISPLAY WAS TAKEN FROM MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, AND LEARN WAS TAKEN FROM NORTHEASTERN, WENTWORTH, AND MASS ART. EXPERIENCE IS A SPECIAL PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENT I ADDED WHICH IS WHAT WOULD BE SPECIAL OF THIS BUILDING. I WAS FORESEEING A SPACE WITH INTERACTIVE ART PIECE/INSTALLATIONS WHERE THE USER, THROUGH HIS EXPERIENCE OF THE SPACE, WOULD BECOME PART OF THE ART. THIS SPACE WOULD BE OPEN AND FLEXIBLE FOR MANY TYPES OF ART.

TAKING

THESE

FOUR

PROGRAM

ELEMENTS, I SKETCHED OUT DIAGRAMS IN WHICH THEY COULD BE ARRANGED IN TERMS OF HIERARCHY, PROXIMITY, AND OVERLAY. IT WAS MY HOPE THAT THESE SKETCHES WOULD HELP THE START TO SOME TYPE OF FORM AND LAYOUT BUT WASN’T AS SUCCESSFUL AS I HAD HOPED. I DID HOW SEE AN TREND IN WHICH I KEPT ARRANGING THE PROGRAM: PERFORM ON THE BOTTOM, THEN DISPLAY, THEN EXPERIENCE, AND FINALLY LEARN.

CONSISTED OF CERTAIN PROGRAMMATIC SPACES AND THE SQUARE FOOTAGE REQUIREMENTS OF

THOSE

SPACES.

TO

GET

A

BETTER

UNDERSTANDING OF THE SIZE OF THE DIFFERENT SPACES, I CREATED A TO-SCALE DRAWING OF EACH SPACE TO SEE HOW THEY COMPARE. THE GREEN SPACES REPRESENT THE DESIGN SPACE WHILE THE BLUE SPACES REPRESENT THE ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES. I EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES TO SEE HOW THEY COMPARE DIFFERENTLY IN CONFIGURATION.

THE FIRST SKETCH MODEL WAS AN

ATTEMPT AT A PLANAR LINK BY EXTENDING TWO PLANES TOWARDS THE ENDS OF THE SITE. THE BUILDING EMBEDS INTO THE GROUND WHILE THE PIERCING COLUMNS CREATE AN EXTERNAL SKELETAL

SYSTEM.

WHILE

I

FOUND

THE

EXTERNAL SKELETAL SYSTEM INTERESTING, MY TEACHER COMMENTED THAT IT WAS A DIFFERENT TECTONIC STRATEGY THAN MY ORIGINAL ONE. ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE MODEL TAKES UP TOO MUCH OF THE AREA AS WE WERE GIVEN A SMALL ALLOWABLE BUILDING FOOT PRINT FOR THE SITE.

AFTER REALIZING THAT ONLY A SMALL

PORTION OF THE SITE WAS DEDICATED TO THE BUILDING, I REDREW THE SCALED DRAWINGS FOR THAT ALLOWABLE FOOT PRINT. TO MOVE FORWARD, I DECIDED TO WORK WITH THE SQUARE SINCE IT WAS THE SHAPE OF MY ORIGINAL TECTONIC STRATEGY.

THIS

VERSION

OF

THE

TECTONIC

STRATEGY REPLICATES THE ONE FROM PROJECT 00 EXCEPT THAT THE COLUMNS ONLY PENETRATE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF LEVELS DEPENDING ON THEIR STRUCTURAL HIERARCHY. THE COLUMNS DO STILL RADIATE AWAY FROM THE CENTER. THE MAIN STRUCTURAL MEMBER STAYS TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING ENCOMPASSING A CENTRAL ATRIUM AND PIERCES ALL LEVELS. THE ATRIUM IS TOP BY AN OCULUS TO LET LIGHT FILTER DOWN AND PROVIDE NATURAL LIGHT WITHIN THE ENTIRE BUILDING. THE SECOND STRUCTURAL MEMBER ONLY GOES THROUGH TWO LEVELS WHEREAS THE THIRD IS AT THE EXTERIOR AND ONLY HOLDS GOES UP ONE LEVEL.

THE BATHROOM AND ELEVATOR CORE

IS IN A STONE MATERIAL TO ACCENTUATE ITS DIFFERENCE IN PROGRAM AND FOR ADDED STRUCTURE. THE EXTERIOR USES TWO DIFFERENT MATERIALS

TO

ENCLOSE

THE

BUILDING,

A

TRANSLUCENT AND OPAQUE MATERIAL.

FOR THE FINAL, THE THIRD COLUMN OF

THE TECTONIC STRATEGY IS USED AS AN SHADING DEVICE FOR TO ALLOW FOR SOME DRAMATIC LIGHTING IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE BUILDING. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR FILTERED VIEWS OUT OF THE BUILDING, BUT VERY LITTLE VIEW INTO THE BUILDING,

CAUSING

CURIOSITY

FOR

THOSE

OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. THIS CURIOSITY MIGHT LEAD ONE INTO EXPERIENCING THE BUILDING. THE SHADING DEVICE IS THE SAME COLOR OF THE EXTERIOR WALLS, MAKING IT SEEM LIKE

A BREAKDOWN OF THE ORIGINAL EXTERIOR STRUCTURE.

THE TOP OF THE ATRIUM IS CAPPED

SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE TOP ROOF PLANE. MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS TO HAVE IT UNCAPPED, ALLOWING FOR LIGHT THROUGH THE ATRIUM SPACE BUT BECAUSE OF THE SHRINKING FLOOR OPENING OF THE ATRIUM, LIGHT WOULD NOT

DISTINGUISHED THROUGH MATERIALITY. THIS ALLOWS THE USERS BOTH ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR KNOW THAT THE FUNCTION IN THAT SPACE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE FUNCTION OF THE REST OF THE BUILDING. IT ALSO GROUNDS THE BUILDING WITH ITS HEAVY MATERIAL, ANCHORING THE BUILDING TO THE SITe

THE

IDEA

BEHIND

THE

PROGRAM

LAYOUT IN ELEVATION RESEMBLES THE BUDDHIST BELIEF

OF

ENLIGHTENMENT.

BUDDHISTS

BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND ONLY WHEN THEY REACH THE TOP IS WHEN THEY REACH TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT. THE IDEA OF THE PROGRAM IN

THIS

BUILDING

IS

TO

REACH

“DESIGN

ENLIGHTENMENT”. EACH LEVEL HAS A DESIGN CONCENTRATION AND AS THE USER REACHES NEW LEVELS, THAT CONCENTRATION INTENSIFIES.

THE

PERFORM-DISPLAY-EXPERIENCE-

CREATE LAYOUT HAD TO ALTER A BIT TO INTEGRATE THE ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES. IN EARLIER SKETCH MODELS THE ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE WAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR. THE PRIVACY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES CAUSED THE FIRST FLOOR TO BE BROKEN UP BY WALLS. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE USER TO EXPERIENCE THE TECTONIC SYSTEM UNTIL REACHING THE SECOND FLOOR. MOVING THE ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE TO THE SECOND FLOOR ALLOWED FOR

AVENUE OF THE ARTS

MORE PRIVACY BECAUSE THE USER WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO THE THIRD FLOOR WITHOUT HAVING TO WALK AROUND THE SPACE WHICH WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN THE FIRST PROGRAMMATIC LAYOUT.

THE

IDEA

OF

THE

“DESIGN

ENLIGHTENMENT” LEVEL IS AS FOLLOWS:

THE FIRST LEVEL OF ENLIGHTENMENT

IS THE PERFORMANCE LEVEL WHICH HAS LOW CONCENTRATION FOR THE USER. THE USER ONLY ENJOYS THE PERFORMANCE WHICH THEY ARE WATCHING. THE SECOND LEVEL IS THE DISPLAY LEVEL WHICH HAS SOME INTENSITY BECAUSE THE USERS MUST INTERPRET THE ART BEING PRESENTED TO THEM. THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE EXPERIENCE LEVEL IS EVEN MORE INTENSE BECAUSE THE USERS MUST WALK AROUND AND INTERPRET AS WELL AS INTERACT WITH THE ART. THE FINAL LEVEL IS THE TRUE ENLIGHTENED LEVEL WHERE THE USERS ARE ABLE TO CREATE THEIR OWN ART. THE EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING HAS BEEN A CRASH LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM. NOW THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE AND DESIGN THEIR OWN ART WORK.

MOVING THE THIRD TECTONIC COLUMN

FROM THE INTERIOR TO THE EXTERIOR WAS A MORE SUCCESSFUL MOVE THAN I HAD ENVISIONED. THE FINAL EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING RESULTED IN A WAVY FORM THAT CONNECTS FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER (AS SHOWN IN BOTTOM IMAGE).THE THIRD TECTONIC COLUMN ALLOWED FOR THIS WAVY FORM THROUGH THE BREAKUP OF THE EXTERIOR SHELL. ALTHOUGH THE EXTERIOR HAD THIS BREAK UP, THE TECTONIC SYSTEM GAVE THE GESTURE OF A CONTINUOUS FLAT SHELL.

MOVING FORWARD I’D LIKE TO CONTINUE

THE WAVY FORM OUT FROM THE EXTERIOR SHELL

TO

INCORPORATE

OUTSIDE

SPACES.

THE OVERALL SITE IS LEFT UNTOUCHED AND EMPTY. ALSO, I’D CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE SHADING MECHANISM. AS OF NOW IT IS JUST A EVENLY DISTRIBUTED REPEATING ELEMENT. EXPERIMENTING WITH THE SPACE BETWEEN EACH MEMBER WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP. THIS WOULD EITHER ACCENTUATE CERTAIN VIEWS BY HAVING THEM BE MORE OPEN OR THE CHANGE THE LIGHTENING DEPENDING ON THE SPACE. THIS SPACING OF THE MEMBERS WOULD ALSO SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THE FIRST FEW STEPS TO THE FORMATION OF MY TECTONIC STRATEGY FROM PROJECT 00.

TOWNHOUSE

NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS

- Studio objectives

- client-specific

- introduction to design in an urban setting

- constrained space in city environment

- retrofit abandonded building

Northampton Townhouse was a project in which we would redesign India Palace for two artistic clients while having to design in a narraw, constrained space, a task architects are sure to encounter in the real world. We were given a list of artists and musicians and were instructed to choose one of each. My clients were Philip Glass, a pianoist, and Damian Hirst, a sculptor. This project required designing through the needs of the client which were decided after an extensive research of their personal lives, what kind of work they do, and any other acommodations.

The town of Northampton is known for being a town with a vast majority of artist with the Smith College Art gallery, many mini-artist shops, and street artist that occupy the sidewalks.

CONCEPT: ­EXPRESSED VS IMPRESSED

After researching both clients, I decided that this space would best be suited as a studio, gallery, and performance space. It was designed to accommodate both long and short period in which the artists would be at work.

Because of Northampton’s artist population I sought this project as the perfect opportunity to incorporate both the clients and the public to occupy this space.

This way there would be the possibility of interaction between aspiring local artist and mentorship by the two residents. This way the building would have gallery spaces that can be used year round and also act as an outlet for the local artist.

The first three floors would be equipped with public spaces, such as lobby, gallery, small concert hall as well as semi-private spaces where Glass and Hirst could do their work either enclosed from or opened to the public viewing. The top floor would be the residential floor equipped with two separate apartment units for Glass and Hirst to house separately and away from the public spaces. On occasions when the artists would be gone, the spaces, excluding the apartments, could be rented out by administration to aspiring artists for displaying their art or performing their piece. main areas: Live, Work, Service

COURTHOUSE SQUARE

SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS

- Studio objectives

- historical preservation project

- main focus on interior design

- introduction to occupancy codes

- retrofit abandoned building - thinking about program as design tool to revitalize area

- constant conversation with city officials

Courthouse Square, a historical preservation project of an old abandoned building that needed to be retrofitted, was a small project within a bigger city-wide project taking place in Springfield Massachusetts to revamp the entire city. The front light brick facade was the key element that has to be preserved. City Officials urged program to include residential housing, dorm rooms for nearby colleges, and a parking lot in the back area for the residences. Aside from the request by the City Officials, programmatic spaces we decided to include were a grocery store, take out restaurant, shops, dining restaurant, studios, classrooms, a raised garden, an entire floor for an art gallery.

Springfield has long been known for its disconnect of communities.

A perfect example is the urban context of the community that follow the highway, I-91, like a mask to hide what’s behind from commuters who pass by. Only 3 blocks away from the highway exits does one encounter the poverty which Springfield has long been experiencing: decaying buildings, unmaintained roads, and deprived neighborhoods.

CONCEPT: 足INTERLOCKING + CONNECTING

Our concept was using interlocking forms and visual connections to tie together different occupancies which, my team felt was a micro-scale example of what needs to happen to the city of Springfield. Our restoration of Court Square embodies a scheme of interlocking occupancies to signify a unification and regrowth of Springfield. These forms create common spaces and suggests interaction between users. This interlocking will be represented spatially by the form, and through series of both visual and material connections, between private and public occupancy types. Visual connections through materiality, forms, and overlooking spaces enable users to feel connected to other users as well.

It was our goal to explore and create interlocking and connecting through different means, mediums, and methods. The resulting experience is a juxtaposition of contemporary and traditional elements to develop multi-use structure with an enhanced sense of community.

Above:

The drawing represents the treatment of interlocking forms for the the upper three floors of residential units. Rather than just creating interlocking forms on a planar level, we sought to interlock these units laterally as well. It was our goal to use these forms to achieve a sense of community not only amongst neighbors on the same floor but also between floors.

Right:

This drawing represents the different connecting masses throughout the entire building. These masses connect not only through different visual means, but also through materiality as well. We identified them as our contemporary cores, equipped with contemporary architecture and materiality.

NUEVA ESPERANZA

HOLYOKE, MASSACHUSETTS

- Studio objectives

- urban planning focus

- introduction to “firm-like” environment

- working in a group

- conversations with “client”

- redesigning use of collapsed building

- redesigning site as a whole

Nueva Esperanza, a nonprofit organization of the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts, founded in the 70’s as a response to combat city-wide larceny, recently lost funding to continue their community service. With programs like El Arco Iris, an after school program for elementary and middle schoolers to learn arts, and Youth Build, a GED program that also From left to right. El Mercado building, Youth Build building, Nueva Esperanza HQ teaches life skills for teen agers or young adults who have dropped out of high school, Nueva Esperanza has provided safe havens and educational programs to keep their youth out of the streets and to become positive members of the community. The group’s main focus is the youth of Holyoke because of the high number of drop outs in the Hispanic community.

It was their goal to redesign the site of their headquarters to raise excitement in the city of Holyoke to receive the funding which they had lost.

Our program consisted of an open air pavilion in the back alleyway behind Nueva Esperanza, a bookstore and cafe on the first floor of El Mercado, and a few residential units on the second floor.

CONCEPT : TRANSITIONING + ENGAGING

As a team, we appreciate and support Nueva Esperanza’s goals and what they stand for.

We decided to focus our program to target the same people that Nueva Esperanza reaches out to, the youth. We accomdated young adults in a transitioning state in their lives, either graduating high school or receiving their GED and entering the work force or going to college. Our program catered to them: The bookstore, filled with books about work ethics, resume builders, etc. The cafe, a place to meet others in the same transitioning state and get advice. The residential units, designed specifically for temporary housing until the user is able to be on their own to feet.

To achieve our concept of transitioning spaces, we decided to use an extending planar element (shown at the bottom) that extrudes and expands throughout the entire site to engage the users to transition through each parts of the site. These expanding plans (wooden element) that wrap around the entrance, creates architectural elements, and literally break down the structure of the building catches the user’s interests and leads them into experiencing the site.

DESIGN CONNECTION ESSAY

ASIDE FROM THE TWO ARCHITECTURE FIRMS I WORKED AT, THE MOST INFLUENTIAL EXPERIENCE I HAVE RECEIVED THIS PAST YEAR WERE THE TWO GATEWAY PROJECTS

WHICH I WAS A PART OF. THESE PROJECTS HAVE GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE TEAMWORK AND HOW DEPENDENT THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT IS ACCORDING TO THE EFFORT OF EACH INDIVIDUAL TEAM MEMBER. IT ALSO GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW OTHERS WORK AND WHAT THEIR DESIGN PROCESS IS LIKE. WATCHING OTHERS WORK AND SEEING HOW THEY DESIGN HAS ALLOWED ME TO REFLECT ON MY OWN DESIGN PROCESS AND AREAS I THINK I COULD USE IMPROVEMENT.

DRAWING. IN MY FIRST GATEWAY PROJECT, I WAS PART OF A PROJECT IN WHICH WE DESIGNED AN ENERGY EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BOSTON. OUR CLIENT WAS

FAIR HOUSING CENTER OF GREATER BOSTON WHO WAS LOOKING AT WAYS TO HELP LOWER MONTHLY BILLS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. OUR TEAM WAS THE SECOND PHASE OF A THREE PHASE PROJECT. THE FIRST PHASE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO LOWER AND POSSIBLY EVEN ELIMINATING ELECTRICITY BILLS BY USING AN ENERGY EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE SO WE TOOK THE ROLE OF FIGURING A WAY TO IMPLEMENT THIS.

THIS CONCEPTUAL PROJECT WAS VERY RESEARCH INTENSIVE WHICH THEN NEEDED TO BE TRANSLATED INTO A DESIGN IDEA. ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS WHICH I

WORKED WITH A LOT HAD GREAT DRAWING SKILLS, A SKILL I THINK I LACK. ALTHOUGH I HAD MUCH MORE TECHNICAL AND COMPUTER SKILLS THAN HIM, I LEARNED A LOT FROM THE BENEFITS OF HAVING THE ABILITY TO DRAW QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY WHAT IS IN YOUR HEAD, ESPECIALLY IN A CONCEPTUAL PROJECT LIKE THIS ONE WAS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRAW MUCH IN THIS PROJECT BECAUSE HE WAS THE HAND EXPERT AND I WAS THE ADOBE SUITES EXPERT SO WE EACH HAD A LOT ON OUR PLATES. I DO NOTICE NOW THAT I AM MORE AND MORE ATTRACTED TO THE USE OF A PEN AND PAPER FOR MY IDEAS. I FIND MYSELF NOW TRYING TO USE HAND SKETCHING AND DIAGRAMMING IN MY DESIGN PROCESS, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONCEPTUAL AND BEGINNING PHASES, ALTHOUGH I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BENEFIT FROM A LOT MORE DRAWING. THIS FASCINATION FOR DRAWING HAS MADE ME WANT TO IMPROVE MY ABILITY TO DRAW. HOPEFULLY BY FORCING MYSELF TO DRAW AND BY SEEKING CLASSES FOR SKETCHING/DRAWING, I WILL IMPROVE MY DRAWING ABILITIES SO THAT I MAY INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL TOOL SET.

IN MY UNDERGRADUATE, WE HAD A CHOICE OF EITHER USING HAND DRAWINGS, TECHNICAL DRAWINGS, OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH. ONLY DURING THE FIRST AND SECOND

STUDIOS WERE WE RESTRICTED TO HAND DRAWINGS SO THAT WE COULD LEARN BASIC CONVENTIONS TO DRAFTING AND DRAWING. AFTERWARD, I CHOSE TO USE TECHNICAL DRAWINGS BECAUSE I WANTED TO LEARN COMPUTER PROGRAMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I FOCUSED ON THIS SO MUCH SO THAT I FORGOT TO GO BACK TO USING HAND DRAWINGS IN MY DESIGN PROCESS. EACH STYLE HAS THEIR BENEFITS SO I WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE BOTH INTO MY DESIGN PROCESS.

ORGANIZATION. THE BAC HAS BEEN A GREAT CHALLENGE TO MY ORGANIZATION AND TIME MANAGEMENT. HAVING TO JUGGLE A 40 HOUR WORK WEEK WITH 10 CREDITS AND

A GATEWAY PROJECT HAS BEEN PRETTY TOUCH TO MANAGE. EVEN AS THE SEMESTER IS WRAPPING UP AND THE WORK LOAD IS WINDING DOWN, IT STILL BEEN TOUGH TO MANAGE. I’VE HAD TO FIGURE OUT A SCHEDULE AND KEEP TO IT SO THAT I WORK EFFICIENTLY AND FINISH UP EVERYTHING I NEED TO GET DONE FOR THE WEEK. THIS SKILL WILL BENEFIT ME IN THE END WHEN IT COMES TO MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND HAVING TO JUGGLE MANY TASKS AND JOBS AT ONE TIME.

WHILE IT’S BEEN A DIFFICULT YEAR IN TRYING TO ADJUST TO A NEW CITY, NEW SCHOOL, NEW WORKLOAD, THE BAC EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT. IT HAS GIVEN ME

THE VISION TO IMPROVE MYSELF, MY DESIGN PROCESS, AND MY PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND HOW I CAN GO ABOUT MEETING THIS.
