Project Three-Final Model-Rabbit Hole

Continuity of mass by flush facades.A twist opreation transports pedestrians from the external dimention to the internal space.Geometric camouflage, space within space to dictate privacy.The lone tree on the site is conserverd, accommodated by the only recession.

Project Two-Final Model-Light Volume


The Glass Tower, with ratio references to Seagram tower and UN NY Headquarters. Translucent, refracts light with its density to distort internal spaces. The two spaces contrasted in its reaction to light.

Project Two-Development Model

Side elevation based on Mies's Seagram Building. Front elevation based on Le Corbusier's United Nations Headquarter in NY.
Superglue corroded the inside of the perspect box, giving a frosted finish. A happy mistake that clarifies the suggestion of enclosed space and smoke.

The negative from making the casts. Dripped with latex to study the concepts of organic growth, and also create this impression of the beehive, where people return to, like a home, or a mother.

Project Two-Draft Model


Cast model with silicon. Exploring qualities of the 'personal bubble'. Fibers formed on the surface of the model due to the porous balsa cast, interesting imprint of organic quality lets the space be read as a 'growth'.

Project Two-Section, Plan, Axonometric

Light additive space and heavy grown space in the urban context from Hopper's Nighthawks.
Sections, front facade references to Le Corbusier's United Nations building in New York, while the side ratio references to Mies's Seagram Building. Internal fabrick and program become the 'wall' mass.

The seven cocoons are organized according to the bar stools in Nighthawks. Undeveloped cocoons represent vacant seats, which has the potential to be occupied by a character lost in thought. The relative position of the characters in the painting's composition is maintained.
