Animate the Inanimate
suggesting movement through construction and hierarchy Positioning an everyday object within the context of its regular movement pattern. When exploring the hair clip in section view, emphasis was focused on the hinge point as the clip opened and closed in the action of grasping or releasing hair. Construction lines trace both the hinge point and angles of opening to highlight the calculated and rigid underlying system of an otherwise fluid movement. In order to imply movement in the context of an inanimate object, hierarchy in line-weight and overlapping techniques became imperative to suggesting speed and motion.

Cubic Solid & Void
simplify complexity through hierarchy At first glance the final model appears to be a rather simple implied cube made of smaller cubic volumes cut by void. However the constructed cube derived from a more complex system of a three lobed infinite loop which encompasses the orange shell of the cube. Deriving this system involved a more complex study model which showcases the multiple iterations along with systematic movements and a labeling language. The axonometric view and unrolled final drawings are key representational elements which use line-weight and shading hierarchy to showcase underlying structure.

Sequential Experiences
optimizing visual perspective through circulation The experience of a viewing a sculpture is often centered around the circulation and the allowed movement around the work. Through the curation of this pavilion emphasis was placed of the circulatory experience and paths that one must take to view the art. Ramps and circular patterns take the viewer up from the underground entrance and back down to the more intimate viewing spaces. As the viewer enters a new enclosure they are slowly allowed to catch an upper level glimpse at the work as the walls descend. When creating the individual room experience the layered volumes of a conical shell over a cylindrical interior was curated so the circulation between the volumes became a unique experience through a space which would otherwise remain vacant.

Spatial Occupation
plurality of movements in a singular space Initial analysis of human movement withing a singular space sparked the anaylization of a typical movement and a “misuse” movement of the same space. Analyzing both movements resulted in a motif of radial motion centering around various hinge points of the body. Using the same radial language and purposefully allowing for the misuse of a space. A standing desk with stepping shelves became an optimal solution for encouraging a plurality of movement withing a confined space. Furthermore the aggregation of theses units create endless possibilities for reinventing the static office environment from a place of homogeneity to a dynamic workplace.

Spatial Functionality
precedent analysis through an accessible lens Exploring the nuances of the Nakagin Capsule tower began with creating simplified models of the circulation, construction and inner workings of the tower. Further analysis through drawing revealed the construction techniques and the repetition of the modules. Looking through the lens of modern accessibility standards barriers for wheelchair accessibility and crutches became clear as the capsules limited capacity resulted in mobility issues. Designed originally for the singular user, combining capsules became an explored solution to the accessibility issue and expanding the capsule experience to house larger families.

Programmatic Composition
underlying grid deriving programmatic organization Initial studies with massing and form were developed with the addition of a structural grid which became the key to developing the programmatic organization of a youth hostel. With a focus on the structural grid and the formal ideology of reclaiming the alleyway with a greenhouse space, the hostel turned inward towards the city focusing on community connections on the ground floor and large greenhouse space. With circulation facing the creekwalk front. Not only is structure emphasized in the drawings but also in the model where the structural grid was first created and then layers of enclosure were built up sequentially to form the youth hostel.

Systems Analysis
systematic overlays analyzing formal approaches Expanding upon the previous youth hostel project and layering on more information of climate characteristics and their relation to the formal approaches taken. Exploration of climate software such as Climate Consultant and Andrew Marsh, were key to understanding the climate of Syracuse, NY. Overlaying sun paths, and wind sections on the site and the hostel enhanced the understanding of the light received by the greenhouse section and the wind patterns surrounding the site. Furthermore the structural analysis and load diagrams enhanced the importance of the structural grid that drove the hostels organization.
