CRITICAL QUESTIONS

How & why are they organized the way they are?

What & why are your tectonic elements and groups of

elements, and they way they are?

ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE

• A description of experiences gained along the design journey.

• TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT PATHS IN LIFE WHICH LEAD TO UNKNOWN PLACES. DIFFERENT OUTCOMES FROM UNIQUE EXPERIENCES.

• Intentions behind what you see, hear, and experience within the project.

• TO TRANSFORM USED MATERIAL INTO SYMBOLIC RESPRESENTATION OF LIFE.

CONCEPTS

Individual design iterations

INSPIRATIONS

Human SPINE DNA HELIX

TEAM PRESENTATION AT BOARD

collectively envision, plan,

design, manage, and build

temporary environmental

installations

Use of a hierarchically

layered tectonic expression

SITE RESPONSES

• HOLES IN WALL

• CORNER OF COURTYARD

• CONNECTION FROM BALCONY TO WALL

• COLOR: GRAY (WITH WOODEN FEATURES)

CONTRASTING WITH GOLDEN BROWN FROM

RECYCLED WOOD)

SITE ANALYSIS LEADING TO SITE SELECTION

SIMILAR ORGANIC

ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH

USED BY GANDHIJI

To Provoke others to

appreciate transformations

that are typically ignored or

taken for granted in

our every day world.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

Reflect narratives of the

human condition

Support accidental

encounters

FULL-SIZE ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION

design and construction

responded to the unique

context of site, including

varying

climatic conditions.

IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS

HANGING STRUCTURES

(ITERATIONS) AND EXPERIMENTING WITH GRAVITY

AND NATURAL FORCES.

ALLOWING MATERIALS (WOOD

+ WIRE) TO DICTATE OVERALL

FORM AND STRUCTURE OF

INSTALLATION.

CONSTRUCTED INSTALLATION

JOURNEY OF SPATIAL EXPERIENCES

THE MATERIAL USED HAS

HISTORY (EVERY PERSON

THAT SAT ON EACH BOARD)

EACH PIECE IS UNIQUE…

OLD DESK CHAIRS (DEAD)

USED TO CREATE LIFE

(SPACIAL JOURNEY

CREATING BY RECYCLING

AND JOINING TOGETHER)

pathways that unifies,

connects, and organizes all

Nodes within an Installation

as parts of a journey

JUROR’S CRITIQUES:

WEAKNESSES

Where the hanging section

meet with the structure, it

could have been a smother

connection.

STRENGTHS

Beautiful floor draws its

beauty from the way the

floor has a curvilinear shape

but at same keeping a

planer form.

ANALYSIS CONCLUSION:

In conclusion of my final

project and jurors critiques

I've learned the difficulties

and difference's in

conceptual concepts and

actual construction. I've

gained the ability to

communicate my ideas in a

group to most effetely find

solutions to critical

questions, breathing life into

an installation with an

Architecture narrative

taking any onlooker onto a

joinery through space

experiences.
