    Parallax is the effect whereby appears to differ when viewed from different positions. This project examines the

    theoretical and tangible notions of parallax and building ecologies. The work of Louis Kahn was studied, focus-

    ing specically on an addition to the Salk Institute. Focusing on the potential effectivity of civic institutional

    space when calibrated by siting, sightlines, and surface modulation, the parallax scheme rened geometric

    articulations within a courtyard typology that grafted the civic ecology of Kahns Rochester meeting house parti

    with the luminous potentials of La Jollas coastal sunset terrain and environmental ability. The project embeds

    itself in transcendent space, the meeting of knowledge and tectonic manifestations. By formally refracting the

    courtyard outward rather than inward, while incorporating many of its systems and service logics, the project

    embraces the challenge to engage the original Salk Center without citations.

    The park centre program combines community function with visitor function. In order to achieve this require-

    ment of an intersection between community members and visitors to an urban park, the building functions as

    a completely public building constructed along a circulation path which traverses through the building. The

    parti relates to two datum axis within the site. The surrounding architecture is strongly embedded in a mixbetween victorian and modernism. The project enables the architecture to humbly reference the historical and

    contemporary.

    Located in Manhattan New York City, the architecture creates a new porous street corner condition to connect

    people from the urban fabric into the building. Program includes auditorium, public music library and archives

    as well as a restaurant. Facade creates voids symbolic as urban symbol.

    The conceptual design focused on an architectural framework that is a beacon on the urban street corner, cre-ating an identity for the program. The building prompts public entry up a large ramp into the building, mediat-

    ing between inside/outside and compressive/expansive space.

    A design focused on supporting two separate spaces for two people in a house, and a common meeting area

    in the middle, while supporting water and human movement through the site. The Hill house mergers with its

    surroundings. Designed for two artists who live together but have spatially separate studio spaces. The site de-

    sign is located on a lake combining two major paths of circulation; one of water and the other of the occupants

    Dividing the site is a wall which becomes the shared living space. Growing out of its context the juxtaposition

    between nature and man-made space creates a symbiosis between landscape and house.

    The roof is covered with a sedum grass roof type minimizing construction height and maintenance. The housecantilevers out from the hillside with south facing glass facade providing views and lighting for living and work

    spaces.

    Museums are armatures for collective societal experience and cultural expression, present new ways of inter-preting the world. They contain knowledge, preserve information and transmit ideas; they stimulate curiosity,

    raise awareness and create opportunities for exchange. As instruments of education and social change, muse-

    ums have the potential to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live.

    As our global environment faces ever more critical challenges, a broader understanding of the interdepend-

    ence of natural systems [food and ecosystems] and the relationship with ever increasing dense urban envi-

    ronments is becoming more essential to our survival and evolution. Museums dedicated to agriculture and

    urbanism play a role in expanding our understanding of these complex systems. Rejecting the notion of mu-seum architecture as neutral background for exhibits, the new typology becomes an active tool for discussion,

    learning, testing, speculation, and interaction.

    What could a School of Architecture be? The scheme deliberately eschews iconicity; it cannot be seen entirelyfrom any point, but rather manifests itself as connective tissue. The vision is an architecture school as con-

    nective infrastructure; not an object, nor solution, but a process. The space of the school is autonomous, yet

    part of the city. A student on the rooftop can be enveloped by trees, yet occupy the space of an urban avenue.

    At this moment, they experience a juxtaposition that will dene their careers: the balance between city and

    forest; natural and man-made. This scheme can be read as layers: (1) an interactive pedestrian corridor, (2)

    a dynamic studio space, and (3) a swath of forest embedded in the city. The corridor reects the necessity of

    collaboration between students and the community; the studio promotes exible, interconnected learning; the

    forest reects NOSOAs role in the ecological crisis.

    Conceptualized within the Deleuzian ontology of the fold, it has become associated with diagrammatic tech-niques and digital morphogenesis, prolically materializing in the projected and the built through continuity,

    curvature, smooth layering and manipulations of the ground. In the semantic network of present progressive

    architectural language, the verbs folding and unfolding manifest high conceptual connectivity.

    The homogeneous fold is a constructive dialectic between structure and form. Traditional folding technique of

    origami provides the beautiful properties of rigidity and lightness. The origami fold is embedded in the math-

    ematics of ratios and structures. The potential of paper folding as a method of form generation is applicable as

    a spatial/architectural idea and physical form. The notions of surface, folding and unfolding, obliquity, systems,

    devices, paradoxes, origami, geometry, bends and unbends is the emergence of origami as an architectural

    idea. This project concluded in an ceiling installation to rethink the ceiling as a surface.

    Renovating a building such as Louis Kahns Centre for Contemporary Art requires an intimate understanding of

    the relationship between the operation of the building and its aesthetic agenda. A detail analysis of the building

    allowed our team to bring the building up to contemporary integrated design standards while creating minimal

    impact on the appearance and experience of the building. The new ofce space achieves 1) passive ventilation

    while isolating the galleries in an autonomous climate zone, 2) increased daylighting of ofce spaces sufcient

    for desk work, 3) solution to the thermal bridging problems of the facade, 4) a vegetated and porous park-

    ing landscape that is used to collect rainwater from the roof. Collaboration between architecture students and

    mechanical engineering was vital to the process of the project.

    As society moves toward a change in technology and induced consumerism, the urban fabric is to be re-thought as a globalized node connected to multiple typologies and cultures. Although urbanity is increasingly

    a hyper-visualization of information, a search for simplicity and rethinking of the global connectivity is thought

    on a localized level through the liberation of form and space as an induced parameter for the human soul. The

    White house becomes a synthesis and representation of this culture. A pixel matrix of information, political sys-

    tems, ecological and technological variables into a vertical expression of central connection create a responsive

    node. The government and networks become transparent to society, commenting on current political frame-

    works and the inuence by globalized consumerism, economics, cultures, foreign and domestic lobbyists. The

    presidents ofce is at the top. The White House becomes a public park of ideas, movements, and people.
