KINTSUGI PHILOSOPHY Concept Kinsugi philosophy is derived from embracing of the flawed or imperfect. It is an aesthetic that values marks of wear by the use of an object. The technique of Kintsugi is mending together broken pottery with gold, emphasizing the object’s history; the imperfections are celebrated rather than hidden.

FORM & PROGRAM STUDY By experimenting with broken glass, I discovered that there is a center point that generates gradual cracks. These different sizes of pieces were documented to create volume, and to emphsize the broken yet connective relationships between them.

PROGRAM PROPOSAL In the multi level Housing Works store, the program was divded by levels. The 3 floors show seperate fuctions, yet are all connected by the core form of ‘broken glass’ the cracks were offset, and highlighted as a form of lighting, partitions, or even furniture for the gallery/ cafe level.

INITIAL INVESTIGATION Diagram Study

As we were given the challenge to make ‘the smallest room’ we, as a group studied and diagramed human movements under normal condition and compared it with an ergonomic study of transition in various postitions.


MATERIAL STUDY Aluminum offset printing plates The material given to recycle was used aluminum offset printing sheets. These sheets are made from aluminum beams that are cold rolled into sheets. These are them processed in photochemicals and etched so that color can by applied and transfered to paper. The condition was used- CYMK color on oneside and reflective on the other.


MODULE DEVELOPMENT

In order to create controlled aggrigation, we made several iterations of the module with our given material: aluminum sheets. The finalized module was calculated by the degree of angle and its flexibility of aggrigation


FORM FINDING 25 sqft

The ‘smallest room’ invites rather than enclosing completely. This leaves the occupant to choose between facing outside or inside, knowing that the opening apature invites the context in.

CLIMATE. SUNLIGHT Site Analysis The climate of Jaipur is a significant factor to the design of a hostel interior. On average, the temperature raises to 30 degrees celcius as it is a a semi- arid zone. The direction of sun, precipitation and relative humidity were graphed and diagramed to be referenced.


HAVELI ‘Maharaja School’ A haveli can be translated to mean ‘mansion’. It is characterized by the inner courtyards that generate a thermal flow to mitigate the temperature throughout the structure. A haveli is a dwelling for large families. This particular site was owned by a wealthy banker’s family and is currenly a public school and a police station.

CONCEPT DRIVER Marigold Tie Dye To explore the expression of expansion and contraction, a fabric was rolled like a marigold flower and sectioned off with strings to give gradations. This pattern became the inspiration of the jaliscreen and spatial forms that take the user back to the tactile notion of expansion and contraction.


CONCEPT DEVLOPMENT Modulated Marigold & Jaliscreen The tie dye pattern was further developed into a 3d model that could generate various possibilities of contraction and expansion forms. The modulation of the 2d pattern was incorporated into the jaliscreens which are significant markers of program transition throughout the site.

CONCEPT ‘A living breathing entity in constant transformation’ The interior concept reflects a living, breathing entity that transfroms in response to the: thermodynamics of the site and the activity of the hostel guests


THE MARIGOLD PORTAL Form Development The portal between the chowks physically contracts in its form to emphasize the experience of expansion; exhalation reaching the end of it.


THE MARIGOLD PORTAL Skin Development The pattern of the portals derived from the original jaliscreen pattern. The change in density works to mitigate the tightening of space when the user gets to the middle. Larger porosity in the center relieves the clustered experience and denser porosity at the ends of the portal works to filter extreme sunlight and rain.


JALISCREEN TAXONOMY Traditional Functions and Application The traditional Jaliscreen is a patterned, perforated surface made of various materials to suit the context to provide shade, airflow, and privacy. As its original function as a gender partition, it effectively blurs the view depending on the density of the pattern. The concept of ‘breathing’ was manifested through the architectural application of the initial exploration of the jali screen patterns, tie dye, and the Marigold Portal.

06 FLOAT CHAIR The objective was to create a chair consisting of 3 materials with no adhesives. The design is meant to look impossible to sit on, but the element of surprise is that it is actually structural. Furniture Design: 3’ x 3’ x 4’

CONCEPT Bolt, Acrylic, Wood

The objective of this project was to create a chair using 3 materials. The chosen materials in this design were: acrylic, wood and metal bolts. Instead of of hiding the connections and joints, I decided to expose them- to show appreciation of the process. The exposure gives the chair an overall ‘floating’ aesthetic.
