"This semester'snprimary architectural topics include: TECTONICS (material assembly, structure, and space-defining systems) PROGRAM (activity, function, and purpose) URBAN-SITE CONTEXT (product and instigator of physical, social and cultural conditions)" While each project focused on one of the three topics mentioned above, I tried to integrate the tree topics in each project, exploring how these three topics could shape my projects.

The term "tectonics" in architecture comprises multiple difinitions and scales related to the material facts of architecture, and may include material palettes, logics of fabrication and assembly, and structural systems, and their deployment in spatial formation. Tectonics can span many scales within the built enviornment, from a bolt head to ueban context."

"TECTONICS

Centraal Beheer Herman Hertzberger Netherlands, 1968-1972 This project is an office building as "work space". The main idea of this project is duplication of unit structure and voids created by the units. The project consists of a collection of concrete-structured units. These concrete-structured units are connected by passageways, creating one big floor. Therefore, although the interior space is divided by the units, it still maintains one big floor arrangement. The structure of the units consists of concrete frame structure and glass skin which reinforces the frames. Voids created by the units serve as softly separating a unit to other unit and taking lights in, making interior space open.

Architecture must provide space and

"PROGRAM services for the requirements of activities and

functions. The design fo these functions, or "program", and their spatial relationships is by different factors. For example, architcture response to function; or it can be formed from

A project of designing an art exhibition and event space for the School of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA). Situated at the corner of Waverly and Walnut Avenues and facing the urban green of Walnut Park, the VPA Pavilion will be visible from without while offering a large exhibition space within. My concept is, then, creating rich spatial experience by using homogeneous modules. My precedent, Centraal Beheer, uses modules and simply lines them up. However, voids created by these modules give the projet rich, kind of A-B-A rhythm. I wanted to apply this concept to my project. From site analysis, I found that the buildings around the site have central void which serves as connecting points; people pass through these voids to get

into the buildings. Other notable feature is that there are many flat houses around the site. In order to maintain and respond the context, I used house-shaped modules that are connected by central void. Moreover, in order to have dialogue with the context, I also created void which is defined by the buildings next to the site. In Herzbarger's project, units are connected by the same passageway, however, in my project, I connected the modules in various ways so that they can have rich spatial experience.

provide new visions for this downtown that

City of Fulton was once prospered in manufacture industry, especially chocolate manufercturing. Even now, there is a factory for food packaging, and there are many restaurants in downtown Fulton. Having such background, I decided to have a molecular gastoronomy research center which studies cooking from scientific aspect. Since the project is meant to be revitalize Fulton, my concept is extending exsisting sidewalks to the site to create new circulation. From site analysis, I found that the main entrances of the buildings around the site are basically facing sidewalks, therefore, sidewalks play an important role in circulation. I want to extend the exsisting circulation to the site to have connection to the context. Moreover, by extending the sidewalk, the riverside sidewalks and city-side sidewalks will be connected to each other. In terms of program, I have community space, greenhouse, and research center space. For community space, I want it to be separated, because it has various types of space. For research center space, I want it to be one continuous space since cooking has a specific sequence. In order to create connected space, I used combination of "C-shapes" to have visual connection. Lastly, greenhouse serves as in-between space which not only connects each program, but also sereves as gathering space to make extended sidewalks be more than a passageway. 28
