LIN PEK ESS

Vir’s program is a reasearch lab that is located on the New Jersey coast. The solid/void form is derived from shifting, extruding, diffrencing, and thickening surfaces.

CIRCULATION

The shifting of the four slabs originating from a solid mass allows for spaces of interaction and acts as the threshold bewtween varying degrees of public and private zones. Then, I seclect a range of profiles and extrude them through the shifted slabs. After, diffrencing by subtracting the extruded profiles from the exsisting solid, varying void transitional and programtic spaces for interaction form. By, distinctively thickening walls the in the x, y, and z direction circulation is formed thorugh the void transtional space.

Ark is one of four pavilions, that serves as a cafeteria, that blurs landscape and hardscape through a rhythem series of strips.

RHYTHEM

Ark is divided into a series of protruding steel triangular strips that mesh figure and ground.These strips filter light through the rhythemic transitions between gaps.

CAVERN

Cavern is a 1000 cubic feet workspace for the average architecture student, whose program is based on three forms of inhabitation, (standing, sitting, sleeping), and when combined by crossing and subtracting create ambiguous spaces.

The workspace forms by boolean differencing the three forms of inhabitaion from a solid volume.Thereafter, a series of modular cubes that resemble pyramid- like volumes in the x, y, and z axis are excavated from the structure. These excavations transform the space by; alternating elevations in the pyramid-like cubes make additional storage spaces, allowing for light to penetrate through skylights which makes varying degrees of lighting coditions, as well as providing a mulititude of self-generated spaces for inhabitiation.
