STUDIO:TRANSLATIONS

: INTERPRET THE SPATIAL QUAL-ITIES OF A PAINTING, IDENTIFY-ING CLEAR CONCEPTS, AND TRANSLATE THEM INTO A THREE DIMENSIONAL MODEL

PHASE one:STACKING

THE CONCEPTS BEHIND THIS FINAL FORM: A CINEMAGRAPHIC GROWTH AND PROGRESSION, QUALITIES OF ROTATION AND SCALE CHANGE, ALL FOUND WITHIN THE PAINTING

PHASE two:CASTING

: TRANSLATE THE IDEAS CREATED IN PHASE ONE INTO A NEW MEDIUM, CASTED FROM A FORMWORK SYSTEM OF CHOICE, OUT OF QUICK SETTING CONCRETE

USING THE CONCEPTS OF ROTATION AND A CHANGING SCALE, A ONE PIECE POURED CONCRETE MODEL

PHASE three:INSTALLING

USING CONCEPTS FROM THE CAST AND STACKED PAPERBOARD MODELS, CREATE AN ENTRYWAY WHICH SERVES AS A CONTINUOUS SHELTER AS WELL AS AN ICONIC ARCHITECTURAL INSTALLATION WITHIN A SEMI ENCLOSED URBAN SETTING WHILE NAVIGATING A DEFINED GRADE CHANGE

SHELTERED VOLUME BELOW EACH RESPECTIVE MATERIAL TRANSITIONS FROM WOODEN DECKING TO GLASS

GLASS IS REPRESENTED AS BLUE AND ACTS AS ‘WEATHER’ PROOFING, RED REPRESENTS WOODEN DECKING AS SURFACE TREATMENT AS COMBINED SHELTER AND PASSAGEWAY

PROBLEM: SITE IS MUCH SMALLER THAN PROGRAM WITH LIMITED FOOTPRINT AND VERTICAL HEIGHT LIMITATIONSSOLUTION:DIG DOWN , OPEN CIRCULATION ATRIUM, EXTERNAL CEREMONIAL STAIRWAY TO WHICH EACH FLOOR PLAN RESPONDS , AND PROVIDE A VERTICALLY CONNECTED LOBBY, RESTAURANT, AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION SPACES

STUDIO: RE-DESIGN

REDESIGN THE TAUBMAN COLLEGE PARKING LOT. USING A PATTERN GENERATED FROM A COMBINATION OF NATURAL SANDSTONE STRIATIONS AND A MORE LOGICAL TRAFFIC PATTERN, A TECHTONIC STEPPED LANDSCAPE WAS DEVELOPED WITH A FLOWING TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND INTERSECTING, DIRECT SIDEWALK PATHWAYS.

PLAN: PARKING

Tra�c Circulation

CIRCULATION AND DIRECTIONALITY SHOWN IN BLUE, WITH A SEPARATE ENTRANCE AND EXIT, OVERLAYED ON THE EXISTING PARKING LOT AND DESIGN INSPIRATION.

ELEVATION: SUBTRACTION

REDESIGN THE TAUBMAN COLLEGE SOUTH, FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR FACADES. USING A PROCESS OF VOLUMETRIC SUBTRACTION IN COMBINATION WITH PATTERNING DETERMINED BY PARKING LOT DESIGN, A FAÇADE WAS CREATED THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT INTERIOR CONDITIONS OF OFFICE SPACE AND DOUBLE HEIGHT WORKSHOPS WITH RESPECT TO EXTERIOR LIGHT AND WEATHER IMPLICATIONS
