project PROGRAM
THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A REVITALIZATION PROJECT FOR THE CITY’S WATER FRONT. A WATERFRONT RESEARCH CENTER IS CURRENTLY NEEDED FOR THE CITY’S SCIENTIST. THE CENTER IS PLANNED TO OPEN FOR THE AMERICA’S CUP EVENT IN 2013.
A REPRESENTATION OF WATER THAT WAS INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN OF THE RESEARCH CENTER WAS THE RELATIONSHIP WATER HAS WITH EARTHQUAKES. WHEN AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURS AT SEA, THE SHIFTING OF THE PLATES CAUSES RAPID CHANGES IN WATER LEVELS. THIS PHENOMENON IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS A ‘TSUNAMI’.
VERB ACTIONS WERE USED TO EXPLORE FORMAL AND MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SITE.
ROOFS LOOSELY SHARE SIMILAR TRAITS WITH WATER IN THE WAY THE RIDGES, PEAKS AND VALLEYS FLOW UP AND DOWN. WHEN THIS ELEMENT IS REPEATED IT MIMICS THE MOTION OF WAVES IN A ‘TSUNAMI’.
VERB ACTION:STACKING
VERB ACTION:FOLDING
PROCESS
each section of center represents a ‘plate’

E N H A N C E D ELEVATION AND PLAN
WITHOUT THE USE OF A RENDERING PROGRAM AND FACING TIME CONSTRAINTS, USING SIMPLE PHOTOSHOP TECHNIQUES SUCH AS LAYERING AND APPLYING A FEW BRUSHES, A BASIC SKETCHUP MODEL CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO SETS OF DETAILED ELEVATIONS AND PLANS.
