The Nesting House - a manifesto on the inherent concept of the modern domesticity - was designed out of the desire to create exciting and interesting tension between the public and private sectors of the house. With two characteristically-distinct facades - the public (containing group living and guest quarters) and the private (bedrooms and baths) sandwich an interior layout of relationships that draw on the notions of dependency (structural and programatic), puncture and transparency. A vertical core, while open to the sky, pulling in sunlight and establishing connectedness to nature, becomes the rhythmic buffer zone which, at specific moments, exposes the interior interplay between public and private.

investigation into dynamic filtering systems gives basis to building program. emphasis on a public and building-wide space as a means for pooling the occupants prior to their desend down to more privitized ed spaces, introduces the idea of fluidity, orientation rientation and the beginnings begin nnings of a building hierarchy. hierarchy determing more specific spaces is then done through a series of sections that will begin to take elements that begin to shape a building that can respond to the mission of sustainable design. ts from prior studies and articulate their qualities qu ualities in terms of light,, water and site specific pressures press

SUPERSTRUCTURE
A study of the refracting qualities of the neighborhood grids surrounding the site sparked the concept of structural and aesthetic refraction. Visible in section+plan, the long-spanning roof bends and changes materiality (imitating light waves in water) at each intersection with the arching main structural elements. 96,000 sq. ft. aquatic center includes olympic-sized lap and diving pools+locker rooms, seating for 2,000, a gym, press/admin offices, cafes, etc.
LONG-SPAN - AQUATIC STRUCTURE: Recreation center for locals and visitors. Structural members span across and inter-weave with each other, creating inter-dependency across all program within the building. Various material types used.
ROOF SYSTEM
Roof layering system tackles three main issues: 1. LIGHT - block, diffuse, utiliza 2. HUMIDITY - tall plenum for sufficient ventilation, eliminate condensation 3 NOISE - control, absorb from seating below

After analyzing the behaviors of a hand fan as analogue, we derived the concept of pooling for the 60-apt dorm-style housing design.

Large communal kitchen/lounge spaces, around which 6 apts are arrayed, become places of pooling for students to gather/cook. These conditioned, yet visually open spaces pierce through the entire building, creating bright, colorful points of concentration.

Two simple panels create field of varying transparencies:
LOUVER SKIN SYSTEM: - controls amount and type of sunlight based on program. - controls vision into and out of the units. - reacts to exterior stair

This design uses above-ground passageways to carry pedestrian traffic over a high-density intersection. Passageways also serve as the music museum, displaying instruments and make use of strategic openings as framing devices for views from the building outward.
