ABSTRACTION DIAGRAM

from Architecture Portfolio Fall 2019 -- Spring 2021

Program

The objective of this project was to transform a space-occupying object into a functional and livable structure. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s Unite D’Habitation, the column situated at the top exhibits a distinctive taper, gradually narrowing from the base to the summit. The progress diagram visualizes the evolution from an enclosed space to an open and accessible area. The abstraction diagram outlines the sequential steps taken to transition from the initial column form to the habitable structure. Through sections and axonometric views, the interior space and its connection to the surrounding exterior space are revealed.

HOW DOES A BUILDING MEET THE GROUND?

Every three-dimensional object or shape must have a bottom, top, and sides to enclose the space. Buildings follow a similar concept and can have multiple levels reaching from the first floor to the roof. For Discovery Hall at the ASU Tempe campus, this building reaches the sky through the different floor levels and walls that enclose the space. The exploded axonometric displays the connection of the staircases, landings, and floor levels leading up to the roof which connects the building to the sky. The walls of this building, including the front entrance, ascends up vertically to help how the building meets the sky.

Program

The objective of this project was to create a structural addition that caters to the concept of ‘a place to gather in a large group.’ In many instances, places accommodating a large population are outdoors and characterized by spaciousness. For the assigned project at The Nelson Fine Arts Center, located at Arizona State University, I designed an outdoor shade structure. Given Arizona’s sunny and warm climate, the courtyard area of the location required more shade. The structure is designed to be collapsible, allowing for easy movement and repositioning as the sun’s position changes throughout the day and across seasons. With its arch shape, the structure both respects the openness of the courtyard and provides a designated gathering space for people.
