COLLECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE creates a shared local resource by incorporating strategies to direct bioclimatic flows. The spaces created by these strategies allow locals to plug in, propagate, and alter informal spaces as their individual needs dictate. Dehumidification of spaces is accomplished through the use of dessicating coconut husk chambers, while a local water resource is established and maintained through a tesselated rainwater collection roof which feeds into central short and long term cisterns.

Each 6'x6'x8' cube is transformed and programmed with the goal of accommodating six sleeping spaces as part of a larger continuous wall. Project Phoenix, one of twelve sections of the Living Wall, aims to create a space within the "interior" of the original mass, which functions as an exterior space. Circulation functions cyclically, where one may move in either directon through the project around the aforementioned exterior space. Each project is built in individual modules, shipped as a single packaged unit, and assembled on-site at Griffis Sculpture Park.

takes the inherent dual characteristics of libraries (i.e., searching versus utilizing, research versus leisurely reading) and, by seperating (but not isolating) them into distinct programmatic and circulation elements, optimizes their functions in order to create a cohesive whole that gives more power to the user in allowing them to choose how to best use the building. The design's vertical "Research" tower establishes its vertical circulation and search functionality through the establishment of a central atrium space with communicating stairs and backlit library signage. The shape of this atrium is the vone generated by a "Cone of Vision," with its origin from the initial point of entry into the Research tower of the library.

Volumetric Hybrid also makes use of the exterior hall condition, by expanding into it in order to accomodate an interior corridor between classrooms. By having users enter individual classrooms from this annexed space, the scheme maximizes the space available for classrooms and assemblies. The use of bold paint and graphics can allow the exterior hallway to function as a facade for the entire space. Carrying that logic into the interior, these same strategies can be used to identify distinct programs and entrances for the different users.
