Every painting has a story.
This, though, is my interpretive story of Ocean Park #140 by Richard Diebenkorn.
A mother spaceship has finall co e for its lost alien! The alien had been wondering alone on the strange unfamiliar ocean for many light years. It had even found a favorite spot, where it could rest whenever it wanted to. At last, its comrades found their lost friend on Ocean 140. The alien can finall lea e the island and venture to many other oceans with its companions in their delightful spaceship.

< interperative drawings> The drawing on the left shows the relationship of Tamara with the stars or the sky. Tamara strive to reach for the sky as it built towers and skyscrapers. The towers was also acting as a sign and symbol for Tamara.
The drawing below shows the passage that one passed trough Tamara. It is narrow and crowded filled ith an o erlapping signs And only after one left Tamara would the road be vast again.

Malcolm McCullough Fall 2015 Site: northern fringe of the University of Chicago, on the northwest corner of 55th St and Greenwood Ave Program: Retreat center Studio theme: Aperture In this project I aim to investigate and experiment with one specific aperture; screen. I am interested in the filtered views that screens create between the two sides. Screens give texture to facades of a building. The varying amount of screens use will also vary the amount of light, view and texture. I aspire to pair and contrast low and high volume of screens.
< inner courtyard > The inner courtyard is the highest order of space one could â&#x20AC;&#x153;retreatâ&#x20AC;?. It is the core of the retreat center. It is where the meditation chambers with their own garden are. The meditation chambers are minimalistic and mute with exceptional skylights and brisole.

< Thesis > For years, refugees around the world are left in the perpetual state of confusion with no home and job, deprived of the ability to participate in society. Though the radical temporary housings that the evacuees’ are given cater to their minimal physical needs, an equally important psychological and physical need to work on their future is neglected. This project tests the role of architecture in filling the gap of the refugees’ lives by providing space to project and realize their dreams. I propose a framework of space that these evacuees will take ownership of and nurture. The space seeks work, ambitions, effort and dreams from the refugees. The infrastructure is to evolve with time as the owners, individuals or groups, interact with it.
The project is an experimental structure for (such program/space) sited on the in-between spaces of makeshift shelters. The structure has a grid that is fluid and porous, allowing interactions and malleability by the inhabitants. The existing makeshift shelter camp fabricates the underlying grids that are then multiplied and manipulated. In this project, gridded structure acts as a scaffolding for the inhabitants to work on. The grids are also use to generate texture and light. The grids are to be manipulated and added on to by the owners with their own textures and works. As time passed, the structure is to manifest into an integral space in the evacuees’ lives. This project also speculate on the urban fabric of refugees camps as many refugee camps are built onto existing urban conditions in the recent years. 4.25.2016

< CONTEXT > On March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by earthquake of magnitude 9.0. The earthquake was followed by a series of devastating tsunami and a nuclear meltdown in Fukushima. The catastrophe resulted in a total of 15 894 dead, 2 562 missing, 6 152 injured and many damaged property and infrastructure. Evacuees as many as 165 000 were placed in emergency centers and makeshift shelters. These makeshift shelters were built to last two years before the evacuees were to move to public housings. However, five years later, only about 65% of these evacuees have moved to public housings and about 10% still have no certain plans for their future. This project is built on the preposterous amount of time, refugees spent waiting for a “better” future. The project is sited on the in-between spaces of a makeshift shelter site in Kaisei, Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Many such refugee camp sites around the world have situated themselves on the existing urban fabric. This project also speculates on the growth of “refugee urbanization” in the existing urban context while refugees grow as members of society.

Programs (senses & space) The infrastructure is to stimulate the five senses for nostalgic but new spaces. From stories/murmurs in the Internet, the lives of the people before the disaster are given a chance to be dreamt and realized again. Striving for some level of self-sustaining community, the program encompasses to a variety of production and skill set.
Bee Farms (Hearing, Taste)
Noodle Shop (Taste, Smell)
Exemplary space to bring in delectable traditional local cuisines. Former noodle store owner, Ebisu-An, will reopen her noodle store and serve delectable traditional ramen as she did in her perished hometown. The store performs as a starting point of upcoming food stores to open in the structures.
Striving for some level of selfsustaining community, bee farming is a great addition to nature and production of the dream structure. Former bee farmer, Takahisa Ogawa, will have a space to continue his bee farming that was once successful. He will share some of his produce and sell some in the market.
Observatory and Lookouts (Sight)
Garden
(Touch, Smell, Sight) From the disaster, a number of farmers from northeast of Japan have lost their farming lands. This space allow them to impart their knowledge and skills. They will be great asset to the community gardens. The garden will be a wondrous gathering space for anyone. Food and produce will be shared with the evacuee community.
Celestial space for the community to be elevated above ground, to look over the site, to get closer to the sky, to relax. A wonderful space to observe the stars at night.
Workshops (Touch, Hearing)
Space to cultivate hands-on skills. The evacueesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; community have a wide range of skill set that they have from their former lives before the disaster. The space encourage teaching and learning as well as continual use of the skills that they already had so as not to forget them. A buzzing space of continual craft and production. The products will be share to the evacuee community and sold to anyone else. The space is also to built craft skills for the young and anyone who is interested.
