THE CIDERY tectonics

THE HISTORY During the 1920s, a New Hampshire farmer came up with the idea of bringing tourists from Boston to pick their own apples in the fresh air and sunshine. The idea took hold. Today, 200-year-old farms are weathering developers (if not the weather) by diversifying with farm-totable meals, cider, kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play areas, ready-to-eat food, hayrides, sleigh rides and even seasoned firewood. Agritourism today is just as much a feature of the New England landscape as history tourism. This cidery is an opportunity for tourists and locals to engage, learn and experience the history and process of cider production.

CONCEPT INSPIRATION The tree structure comes from the conceptual idea of an apple tree. The design goal was to implement a strong element to attract visitors, and at the same time integrate the site into the composition. The tree structure works as one of the primary structure columns holding up the main roof.

SECTION A

CIRCULATION The cider production space is wrapped by the main gallery. The gallery ramps change levels in order to create different strategic views. Visitors experience the cider process differently from different locations. When the tour is completed, visitors will automatically circulate out into the cafĂŠ, later on to the gift shop and finally to the exit.

MAIN ATTRACTION The cider production area is encapsulated by glass walls, exposing it as the main attraction of the gallery. In this manner cider is being produced at the same time that is being exposed to visitors, in order for them to learn and experience the cider process.

FLOURISHING FORGIVENESS

sitework

THE DEMILITARIZED ZONE The site is at the heart of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. The DMZ runs across the Korean Peninsula, 250 kilometers long and 2.5 miles wide is known for being one of the most militarized borders of the world. The DMZ roughly divides Korea in half. Considered a world patrimony, geographically is surrounded by mountains, prairies,swamps, lakes and tidal marshes. The zone is considered a deadly zone for humans. The site contains a lot of historical heritage, starting from the 1905â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the Japan-Korean Protectorate Treaty until the End of the Korean War in 1953.

BATH HOUSE INTERIOR

PROGRAM The program of the building developed from the concept of the buildin functioning as a flower. Sun, Water and Soil are the main components that keep a flower alive. The bath houses and spa spaces in the building allow people to come and relax. There are two greenhouses and sun rooms on the upper part of the building. Both national flowers are grown in the greenhouse, and it symbollical represents both cultures fluorising in peace. In the tea bar Magnolia and Hibiscus tea is served.

CONVERGENT EVOLUTION interdisciplinary

CONVERGENT EVOLUTION In evolutionary biology, organisms that share alike environments, evolve similar traits as a result of adaptation and survival. While a hotel provides accommodation and hospitality, the Velo Stop provides a unique and camouflaging experience; a gateway to a synthetic environment. The dome design, aims to provide each user with an evolutionary encounter. Throughout each biking destination the building develops the ability to adopt physical characteristics such as materiality and a reflection of its habitat. The structure is intentionally designed to be built basically anywhere: in the woods, in the city, on water, and still resonate with its surroundings, enhancing the experience. The intent is to provide the opportunity not only to visit a specific scenario but to be part of it.

I have found in architecture a form of self expression. The medium in which I allow my creativity and sensitivity to flow with freedom. Architecture is the art that is capable of uniting souls in space. Spaces that speak for themselves, that narrate stories, and forever create memories. Architecture is that trace that I want to leave throughout my trayectory.

ZONING & CONSTRUCTION Zoning is a tool that most cities use to regulate the uses, the size of buildings, and how buildings relate to their surroundings. I am proud to show this project because it was my first very own project. I developed it from the zoning to the construction of it. I had a lot of agency in the design decisions of the project. 45 Dickson AV. Is a 2 story residential project. This project really gave me a sense of how to put a building together, even though it was a small project I learnt a lot.

I like to see my paintings as a form of self-expression. I consider myself a passionate and determined woman and I like showing that through my paintings. I believe art can be used as a tool to show feminist values. I like to paint woman and what it means to be a woman from a personal experience. I like showings these emotions through warm pallets, from yellow to red and incorporate black. I believe warm tones show affability and a lot of emotion. Red emits passion and strength, and Black shows character, elegance, and power.
