The Main Museum of Los Angeles Art Role: Project Designer Tom Wiscombe Architecture Location: Los Angeles, California
The Main Museum of Los Angeles Art is a multiphase contemporary art museum currently in planning in the Old Bank District in Downtown Los Angeles. The project is located in across three existing buildings and winds through basement, ground, and rooftop levels. The first phase is called “Beta Main� and is currently under construction. The estimated final completetion for all phases is slated for 2020. I started working on this project shortly after the original schematic design was completed, and have further developed both the design and the strategy for moving the project forward. My roles included design work for the interior of the Farmers & Merchants bank building, which was added to the project after the completetion of SD. I was also in charge of writing the project manuel and researching possible code issues relating to the existing buildings. I have also been in charge of compliling a detailed project schedule with projected phasing

BASEMENT PLANS These plans show air seperation, egress and space planning. Each of these was quite complicated because of the histoic aspects of the building and the connection of multiple buildings.

This model was made from a powder 3D printed shell with small insets. It was connected to a primary structure beneith and has a “liner” on the interior spaces. This system eliminates the thickness of the strucutral system.

The West Hollywood Belltower is an ongoing project in the City of West Hollywood in the heart of the Sunset Strip. It occupies a plot of land currently owned by the city, The city requested propsals for a reimagination of the billboard and to create a prototype for what billboards along the Sunset Strip could be in the future, It was slected as the prefrred project by a jury assembled by the City of West Hollywood, and reccomended to the City Council. This project is in partnership with Orange Barrel Media, MoCA, and Walter P Moore. The project is both a billboard and an architectural object. It seperates the media panels of the billboard to create occupiable space that the can be inhabited around. A center object was also placed between these petals that has projections of mutiple types depending on the content of the remaining parts of the billboard. The Belltower also provides a plaza and civic space which the city has the opputrunity use to add a civic focal point to the Sunset Strip. My role in this project was both that of the project corridnator and project designer. I worked on this project from its conception until the final second stage submittal which was recommended to the city council. I worked with our project team and consultants to put together the final content for the project.

The concept of the billboard was to create both a vertical media area and provide an interior to a program that is usually read as a 2D flat image. The interior allows for additional programming to take place.

PRESENTATION MODEL PROJECTIONS This multi-media model was constructed from a vairety of plastics and then was mapped and projected on the simulate the deisgn intent of the Belltower.
Environmental Features Part of the proposed scheme for the billboard was how it could begin to offset some of the energy it was using and also provide a shaded public space.
PROJECTION FILMING This image shows the set up of the projectors and camera for filming the model as the media was playing. The robotic arm provided a smooth transition of the camera around the media.

Griffith Park House Project Designer/ Project Corridnator Tom Wiscombe Architecture Location: Los Angeles, California
The Griffith Park House was a conceptual project to test the deisgn strategies being developed in the office. The house was formed from a group of primate object interecting a box. Slicing operations were then made to change the relationship between the box and the object. These techinques were used until a scheme arrived that used a longer linear box that had three objects embedded in it. These three objects made up the more private rooms of the house where as the box provided the space for the more public programs of the house. A series of seams was also arranged along the house based off of reflections of the geometry of the house. These seams then began to create another level of complexity to the form. The seams do not stop at edges but instead run along all the surfaces of the house with disregard for both material and part relationships. My role on this project was to lead the design of the house and to organize and make decisions related to the project. The team ranged from 3-5 people during the process. SLICING TO UNIFY A techinque of slicing was used to unify the descrete pieces of the house into a larger whole. However, the individual pieces can still be read on there own as well.

PATTERN STUDY Patterns were generated from a series of overlays and parameters that were then transformed to suggest possible methods of transformation into an architectural facade.
VIEW TO THE INTERIOR
CHROME MODEL/REMOVABLE OBJECTS
This image shows a view into the living room of the house. It also shows the use of multiple materials that are seperated by large continous seams that ignore heirarchy of the facade systems
This image shows the final chrome concept model and relationships of the objects seams and glass on the whole. The idea of part to whole is abolished in favor of part to part.

The Domino Sugar Site D tower is a proposal in Brooklyn as part of the larger Domino Sugar redevelopment by SHoP and Field Operations. This tower conists of two towers that are connected at both the base and the mid-level of the tower. As you view the tower the two towers change reading, reading as a single tower from some angles and multiple towers from others. The facade consists of two seperate schemes. One that uses a diagonal pattern along a glass facade and one that uses a punched window scheme. The arrange of the facade systems creates connections between the tower pieces to where disjoint pieces read as a singluar object.

Ziggy Stardust PennDesign Spring 2015 Critic: Tom Wiscombe Location: New York City
Ziggy Stardust is the emboddiment of David Bowie’s alter persona in the form of a musuem. This project was a concept for a replacement of the New Whitney Museum located on the Highline in New York. This project focuses on how the exteior shell of the building can begin to ellude to the interior floating figure within. With this the building has an outword persona, but also an interior persona that does not quite match the outward apperance. The project also studied creating facade features that are non orienting to the ground or context but instead begin to work internally with the shrouded figure. The museum also features a “black hole” which is a deep involuted carve into what would otherwise be a stable solid object. This “black hole” connects both the extioer and puches againt the interior object. The museum program has multiple layers with the area just inside the shell providing some gallery space but also the primary circultaion for the museum. The interior figure provides more controlled gallery space, both by light and enivromnent.
FACADE PANELIZATION
CRYSTALIZED OBJECT
NIGHT VIEW
This method of representation combines the outer shell with the interior object to begin to create the strange figures and orientations that are present on the facade.
This view shows the night qualities of the museum object through reflections created by the interior involution and the interior lighting.
Ziggy Stardust
The facade was envisioned to be broken down into a series of patterns that ran in multiple directions to eleminate references to the outside context and create an autonomus unified object. Multiple materials were used to create strange figurations and to disrupt the understanding of what is transparent and what is opaque.

BUILDING CHUNKS This project was envisioned in chunks that could be analyzed both on their own as indivual objects and as a whole to create that shell that elludeds to the interior object.
MUSEUM PLAN & SECTION
DAYTIME VIEW
These drawings shows the mutiple layers that make up the museum. They consist of the ground object support spaces, outer object galleries and circulatory spaces, and inner object controlled air galleries.
This view shows the daytime qualities of the museum object and also its relationship hanging over the highline.

FACADE SECTION DETAIL
PennDesign Spring 2014 Critic: Kutan Ayata Collaboration w/ Julie Lee Location: Astor Place, New York City
This detail shows how the facade is made up of multiple parts around a sttel tube system. The exterior facade panels clip into place on to the facade structure. This also connects to the crystal forms that puncture the facade which also connect to both the facade system and the primary floor strucutre.
The highrise office building topology has relatively unchanged since its conception, with higher value spaces along the outside skin usually reserved for higher ranking positions and less desireable spaces in the interior for lower level workers. This project looks to reorganize the office structure by democrazing the exterior skin but inflating it to where it can become inhabitable and reorangizing it to change the program along the edges to communal work space. The changing of how the building is read between the interior and exterior results in a disruption of understanding of what the building is and how it projects its qualities. The zone between the exterior skin and interior slab is re-understood by a series of pockets and embedded objects. The combination of these objects as well as the vein like appearance of the building tie the small pieces to a coherent larger and strange meta object of the site.
NIGHTTIME QAULITIES The Pattern Study shown was completed from a series of cutting and scoring operations based off of the patterns that were created from the previous study
PATTERN STUDY Patterns were generated from a series of overlays and parameters that were then transformed to suggest possible methods of transformation into an architectural facade.

X-Ray Section This section shows how the spces behind the cut relate to the cut spaces. In the section you can see the crystal objects widening and narrowing along the facade.
PLAN DRAWINGS The plan drawings show the depth of the facade and also the organization of the possible open floor plans. A core is located along the back edge of the building to leave more open space thoughout the interior of the building.
INTERIOR RENDERING
FACADE PROTOTYPE
This image shows the imaged interior environment of the building. More organized work space is located towards the middle of the building with more liesure and creative space located along the exterior facade.
This prototype demonstrates the inmaged construction and look of the facade. The multiple layers of black and glass provide qualities estranged from a typical facade.

{Cut}d’état PennDesign Fall 2014 Critic: François Roche Collaboration w/ Peter Wildfeuer Location: Sathorn Unique, Bangkok, Thailand This scenario is called {cut}d ‘etat. It is looking a resistance to Haussmanian and conventional urbanism of the panopticon and organization. The scenario sets up an urbanism/anti-urbanism that responds to not only urbanism itself but the government of the military currently in place in Thailand. It looks to reinterpret Medina’s, gothic centers, and the pre 19th century urbanism of control. The culture within Thailand has allowed for an openness and acceptance in sub-culture and the strange. These cultures are slowly being eroded to the point of a need for resistance. This scenario can be seen as an interior reinterpretation of the Paris commune of 1870 and the reconfiguring of space that happened there-in against the Boulevard. Our scenario sets up an anti-cartographic way of understanding the building. A building without clear routes and can only be navigated by those who know the syntax of the culture and that of the organization of the building. This scenario, however, understands the resistance within the building as a final stand against oppression but that which will ultimately fall tragically against the power of government and urban organization that persists and permeates.

PATHS OF TRAVEL The diagram below pulls apart three different paths of travel that are split into different zones based of the occupants ability to read and understand the architectural symbols of the space.
ARCHITECTURAL IDENTIFIERS The arrangement and coloring of the different large componets created through the cutting of the building provide a wayfinding techinque to help people orient themselves who have the cipher and to dissorient those who do not.

TWISTING PLANS
PennDesign Fall 2013 Critic: Matias del Campo Location: Stefanplatz, Vienna, Austria
These plans show the tranformation of the space from symmetrical units into stretched non symmetrical units as the building rises each floor.
Contemporary computer techniques allow for the use of highly complex geometries to be created in a similar way that could only be achieved by master craftspeople in the past. The project was also dealing with the ideas of asymmetry and symmetry and questions of ornament. Looking back at problems from the 18th century bring about questions of contemporary problems such as facade as ornament and the relationship between symmetry and asymmetry. Baroque and Rococo craft work and architecture were a specific jumping off point when looking at these issues. The emergent qualities in the building arise from the aggregation of parts to create to create a whole. The symmetry in the project was then put in as a counterbalance to the emergent technique that had already taken place. This is the point at which an uncanny scenario happens in the building where emergence and contemporary issues of creation are brought back into the historical issues of symmetry and asymmetry of the Baroque and Rococo. The building twisting as it rises from the site is meant to question the dogmatic approach to the ground and transform into a more loose and asymmetrical condition of object in the sky. This can be seen as a interpretation of the difference between Baroque and Rococo where Baroque is symmetric and more static and Rococo become asymmetric and dynamic.
SECTION
3D PRINTED FACADE MODEL
This section shows the relationship of the multiple floor of the building and how the staircase alonf=g the interior of the building travels between each level.
This model shows the strucutral stability of the interlocking componets that twist up the facade.
