CROWDED SEAM ARCH 411 INTRODUCTION DESIGN STUDIO FALL QUARTER PROFESSOR: GABRIEL FRIES-BRIGGS Precedent Analysis Groupwork with Micaela Danko
A seam is produced when edges meet or overlap, usually with a mediator. This project explores form making through careful focus on the exposed seam, with no mediator and what happens to the seam when it is intentionally defected. After examining sewing types and seam defects such as crowding, slipping, missing, loosening, and uneven; crowding was chosen as a way to encompass an array of errors in sewing. Through crowding, the geometry becomes exaggerated and the space inside the vault narrows. By adjusting the seam, a connection between important parts of the vault, the entire form is manipulated.

Poché is used as a representational technique in architecture to account for the physical thickness of a wall assembly. The complex layers and systems XLEX GSQTSWI E [EPP EVI VIHYGIH XS E YRMJSVQ ½PP “differentiating the hollow areas from the solid, the covered rooms from the open courtyard, the houses from the streets, and so on” (The Interior urbanity of Nineteenth Century Paris, Sudipto Ghosh). Historically, the use of monolithic materials, such as stone, rammed earth, or brick produced a thick poché. The thickness was used for structural stability and thermal insulation and allowed for a greater differentiation from an interior and exterior condition. Technological advances in building techniques and mechanical systems, such as the steel structural frame and HVAC systems, allowed for the reduction of the wall to a thin poché as seen MR 1SHIVRMWQ -R JEGX +VMJ½R 3½IWL EWWIVXW XLEX thick poché was “scorned by modernist for its inef½GMIRG]² MR LMW 2I[ 4SGLq 7XVEXIKMIW 8LMR TSGLq TVSZMHIW IJ½GMIRG] SJ QEXIVMEPW ERH YWEFPI MRXIVMSV space.

The duality of the interior and exterior conditions is facilitated through the open air gap of the expanded wall section. This idea is supported by the term open poché introduced by Robert Venturi as the “residual space that is open.” In his book, Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, Venturi proposes that open residual spaces have the opportunity to “induce simultaneous awareness of [LEX MW WMKRM½GERX SR IMXLIV WMHI ² *SV XLI ETTPMGEtion of this project, the open poché of a wall is

Functions as a layer within the wall assembly. Fabrikstrasse 15 demonstrates one interpretation of the open poché through the deployment of a uniform organization of tectonic layers to produce
tectonic layers to produce two simultaneous experiences from the exterior and interior. Thus, the conditions are uniform across the entirety of those surfaces. In response to Novartis, we propose a variant poché which breaks the uniform dichotomy of the interior and exterior and produces a multitude of experiences that tectonically collapses and expands to blur the roles of the section and elevation.

INSIDE OUT ARCH 413 ARCHITECTURE AS URBAN LANDSCAPE PROFESSOR: GEORGINA HULJICH
This housing project’s ambition is to disrupt the dichotomy between interior and exterior through manipulation of courtyards. The courtyard is used as a device to organize living to yield a misregistration of boundaries. The distinction between mass and void constantly shifts in order to combine and confuse public and private areas. The courtyards serve as FSXL E GEXGLQIRX W]WXIQ ERH ¾I\MFPI WTEGI JSV unpredictable events.
