INTEGRATED STREETSCAPESPASADENA CITY COLLEGE ARCHITECTURE 12BCOLEMAN GRIFFITH SPRING 2010
The site for this installation is located in Westwood, Los Angeles; the site incorporates a strip of the famous Westwood wrapping into Lindbrook. The current site is home to a parking garage, as well as a strip of restaurants.
The main reference for the design of the pavillion was the idea of marching, because of the nearby Federal Building.
Thus, the task was to create a design that would lead metro passengers from the intended metro entrance towards the Protest Square on the end of Lindbrook.

DescriptionIntroduces the concept of NURBS modeling and the construction and re�nement of self-similarcurve geometries; as well as: output techniques, preparation for laser cutting, and modelbuilding.
Objective By setting simple rule sets that are enacted in a repetitively development of architectural forms begin to take on an organic feel. Operations include drafting in rhino, rebuilding, lofting/o�setting, etc.
By utilizing NURBS programs and a simple rule set, the creation ofa shape not unlike those naturally found in nature areborn. Development takes place in the 2-D state, beginning with a single geometric line, which is then manipu-lated and loftedinto a 3-dimensional surface, and eventually shape.
