MAXING AND MASQUING Woodbury University
Faculty: Linda Taalman Matthew Gillis Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter
2015
The project explores the potential to innovate within a highly dened building envelope in a dense urban condition. With a prescriptive constrained volume in an inll site, one has developed designs for a school of architecture for 100 students, including micro-housing for 25 students and a public gallery.The program operates between two extremes public and private. Project retains its own identity while integrating within and filtering its environment. Central to developing the project as a comprehensive design project is the questioning of the relationship of autonomy to integration.
Autonomous bodies: MAXING The new WUHO lab in Hollywood is an outpost of the existing architecture campus in Burbank, increasing the school’s capacity to engage architectural education in the coming century in multiple contexts. The challenge is to maximize the autonomy of the school, gallery, housing and site while maintaining a cohesive building. Filtering Skin: MASQUING Masquing is both performative and aesthetic. The envelope engages the environmental qualities such as light, air and circulation. The skin is a recorder and negotiator with the outer environment. It adapts its character on the basis of need. It is a tight fabric at some places and stretches out to create habitable spaces in other parts. The skin challenges aesthetic and performative constraints in pursuing its functional character.

Sprinkling System and water storage are crucial parts of the water managment. Water coming from city pipe line is being stored in the the underground tank. It gets pumped up to the overhead storage tanks. Water is being relised to sprinkler inlet pipes. There is an outlet at each floor which connects it back to the undrground water tank. Fire extinguishers detects smoke and if temprature rises the sprinkler head opens and it releseas water.
Notes: Class II standpipes provide 1 1/2� hose connection that are lover volume and autometic pressure which can be used by sprinkler grid Insolation analysis of total sunlightuntrainde hours occupants. Class II pipes can be used by local ooccupants or by firefighters. sprinkler outlet

Putting together information in the form of abstract relationships which lead to a investigative design approach
Handdrafting and designing an appropriate structure to serve not only as a school but also for other community uses such as a vegetable market in the evening and a community space for elders.
3. Related Study Program
This is a part of a documentation program understanding the vernacular ways of building in an earthquake prone zone. The ground floor is for cattle to warm the house, the middle floor is for people and the upper floor is for deities, creating a sectional hierarchy.
