KIT OF ELEMENTS
KIT OF
ELEMENTS is a sequence of constructions and drawings that explore the geometric and organizational possibilities of space making. The concept, [forgetting], was spatially explored via a dense inner core of planes, masses, and volumes interacting, which dissipated volumetrically as one moves outward.

MOVEMENT IN A FIELD
An exploration of the [in-between] condition.
The project [Movement In A Field] is a horizontal set of parameters that give rise to dissecting space via plane and stick elements. Ideas of interstitial occupation were expounded and a different nature of internal space was developed. The concept dichotomy of [integration/separation] was expanded upon in [Movement In A Field]; consistent throughout, patterns of spatial descension occur from various perspectives. This is evident from a plan view- noticing a concentration of space moving from one end of the structure to the opposite diagonal corner.

THE PRIMORDIAL LINE
CAMPUS
INTERVENTION
This campus intervention emphasizes [unidirectional movement]enabling transition between two spaces. A focus on material variation allowed implicit programming to highlight the general movement in one direction, while supporting smaller [moments of solitude] along the larger path.

THE HABITABLE LIGHTWELL
HABITABLE LIGHTWELL
LIGHT Volumetric and stereotomic properties of space were integrated with the manipulation of light to characterize space. The concept of a [lantern] spurred the development of [light havens] which promote rest and contemplation throughout the garden plaza and vertical spaces.
THESE LIGHT-CONCENTRATED SPACES MANIPULATE LIGHT AND EXPLORE COLORS’ AFFECTS ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPACE.
