PROGRAM:-MIXED-USE STRUCTURES--UNGERGROUND PARKING--1ST FLOOR=COMMERCIAL--2ND FLOOR=OFFICES--3RD FLOOR=GYM / BRIDGE--4TH-10TH=RESIDENTIAL--ROOFTOP=RESID. GARDENS

KEY FEATURES

FLOOR PLANSSECOND/THIRD FLOORS-CONNECTING PATHWAYS USE CIRCULATION TO SHADE LOWER LEVELS FROM SUNLIGHT-ROOFTOP GATHERING SPACES ALLOW FOR VIEWS TO OCEAN(WEST) AND HARBOR(EAST)-ALL LEVELS ORIENTED TO ALLOW FOR COASTAL BREEZE FLOW THRU / ACTIVE VENTILATION

RESIDENTIAL FLOORS:-AS THE THE STRUCTURE GROWS TALLER, THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS INCREASE IN SIZE OUTWARDS TO PROVIDE SHADING FOR THE UNITS BELOW-CENTRAL ELEVATOR CORE / CIRCULATION PROMOTES RESIDENTIAL INTERACTIONS AND SENSE OF COMMUNITY -TO THE SOUTH, LARGE GREEN WALL PATTERNED WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS PROVIDES RESIDENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW FOOD, AND ALSO COLLECTS SOLAR ENERGY

SURFACE FASHION RUNWAY

MODULAR LANGUAGE

SURFACE FASHION RUNWAYDESIGN PROMPT:-CREATE A NON-PERMANENT FASHION RUNWAY FOR A CLOTHING STORE SPACE.-EXPLORE THE POTENTIAL OF SURFACES; USE ONLY SURFACES AS A DESIGN TOOL TO FORMULATE CONCEPT.

REQUIRED PROGRAM:-RUNWAY -CHANGING AREA-WORK AREA -PREP AREA-GARMENT STORAGE -AREA FOR AUDIENCE

CONCEPT:-ESTABLISH A MODULAR SYSTEM OF MEMBERS THAT ARE DERIVED FROM THE SAME GEOMETRIC LANGUAGE, BUT CAN BE MANIPULATED TO CREATE DIFFERENT QUALITIES OF SPACE, AND SERVE REQUIRED FUNCTIONS.-CREATE A CONTINUOUS LOOP OF CIRCULATION IN ORDER FOR THE MODELS TO HAVE SEAMLESS MOVEMENT BETWEEN WARDROBE CHANGES; ENHANCE THE AUDIENCE VIEWING EXPIERENCE BY CREATING MOMENTS OF ANTICIPATION, EXCITMENT, AND SUSPENSE.-ENGAGE WITH THE EXTERIOR BY USING THE INTERIOR CIRCULATION TO INTERUPT THE EXISTING EXTERIOR PATHWAY.

TUNNEL FORM PRODUCES CONTINUOUS MOVEMTENT, ALLOWING MODELS TO

SEAMLESSLY MANEUVER THROUGH THEIR REQUIRED STATIONS BEFORE CONTINUING ONTO

THE RUNWAY.

ELEVATED SEATING AREA FOR SELECT GUESTS ALLOWS FOR CLOSE INTERACTION WITH THE MODELS, BUT ALSO GIVES LONG VIEWS TO

MODELS MOVING ON FURTHER PARTS OF THE RUNWAY.

THE MODELS PROCESSION ON THE RUNWAY GOES THROUGH A SERIES OF DYNAMIC

MOMENTS THAT PROVIDE THE AUDIENCE AND INDIVIDUALS ON THE EXTERIOR AN

ECOMPASSING VIEW OF THE FASHION COLLECTION.

XATELIER “FUNCTIONLESS” WORKSHOP

P3

SPATIAL DEFINING/STRUCTURAL AESTHETIC/PERCEPTIVEDESIGN PROMPT:-EXPLORE THE IDEA OF “FUNCTIONLESS” AND HOW IT CAN BE APPLIED IN A DESIGN ASPECT.-WHILE LEARNING MAYA SOFTWARE, EMPLOY TECHNIQUES AND OPERATIONS TO CONCIEVE A DESIGN THAT DEFINES WHAT IT MEANS FOR SOMETHING TO BECOME FUNCTIONLESS.

XATELIER “FUNCTIONLESS” WORKSHOP

CONCEPT:-IN ORDER TO BECOME FUNCTIONLESS, A FUNCTION MUST BE AGGREGATED AND DEFORMED UNTIL THE ORIGINAL OPERATION IS NO LONGER APPARENT.-EXPLORE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF LIGHT, UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT QUALITIES THAT LIGHT CAN PRODUCE.-MERGE THE TWO MAIN QUALITIES OF LIGHT, SPATIAL DEFINING AND AESTHEICS, INTO A SINGLE, COHESIVE DESIGN THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED INTO A REAL WORLD ARCHITECTURAL INSTALLATION.

MAR VISTA HOME RENOVATION

P4

DESIGN PROMPT:-DESIGN A RENOVATION OF AN EXISTING HOME WITHIN THE MAR VISTA TRACT PROJECT DESIGNED BY GREGORY AIN IN 1947. -INVESTIGATE NEW IDEAS OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN, WHILE STILL MAINTAINING THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

REQUIRED PROGRAM:-1000 sq ft MAXIMUM ADDITION-+1 BEDROOM AND BATHROOM-OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE

MAR VISTA HOME RENOVATION

EXISTING HOME

CONCEPT:-LEAVE THE BUILDING FACADES FACING THE STREET UNTOUCHED TO RESPECT THE HISTORICAL RELEVANCE, BUT COMPLETELY REDESIGN THE INTERIOR AND BACKYARD SPACES.-TRANSFORM THE INTERIOR INTO A KIND OF FOREST WITH A SERIES OF VERTICAL COLUMNS (TREE TRUNKS), HORIZONTAL SUPPORTS (BRANCHES), AND SLIDING SCREEN WALLS (LEAVES). -INTRODUCE A SKYLIGHT SYSTEM THAT RESPONDS TO THE QUALITY OF LIGHT DESIRED FOR THE SPACE BELOW; SKYLIGHTS CHANGE IN HEIGHT, DIRECTIONALITY, AND AMOUNT OF GLASS

KEY CONCEPTS

MAINTAIN HISTORIC LOOK OF HOME FROM

THE STREET, BUT COMPLETELY

REIMAGINE THE INTERIOR

EMPLOY EARLY MODERN DESIGN TRAITS INTO NEW

CONCEPT, SUCH AS FLEXIBILITY,

SUSTAINABILITY, AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

CREATE A NEW ATMOSPHERE OF THE

CONTEMPORARY HOME; WHAT DOES A

HOME HAVE TO PROVIDE?

EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE

SKYLIGHT SYSTEM-SKYLIGHTS VARY IN DIRECTIONALITY AND HEIGHT OF GLASS BASED ON DESIRED LIGHT OF SPACE BELOW--BEDROOMS REQUIRE EARLY MORNING AND LATE AFTERNOON LIGHT; GLASS IS POSITIONED ON EAST AND WEST FACING SIDES--KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM REQUIRE LIGHT ALL DAY LONG; GLASS IN ALL DIRECTIONS AND HIGHER

BACKYARD -EXTERIOR PATHWAY EXEMPLIFIES THE PULLING EFFECT THAT THE NATURAL ENVIORNMENT HAS TOWARDS THE HOME-OPENING UP SLIDERS TO THE OUTSIDE SPACE BEGINS TO BLUR THE LINE BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES
