First we have the site model and study models. Soon it will all be painted white!

House of Cards

BIG

BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, based in Copenhagen, is one of my most favorite of all time architecture studios.

This is Bjarke Ingels giving a talk about some of their methods in creating their architecture. He talks about their studio's comic book, Yes Is More, the difference between revolution and evolution, and the idea of creating architecture that is not only strong in its program and eco-friendly, but also can sometimes actually help make the ecosystem around it even better.

The Power of Ten

Studio Problem 1: Computing Quality - The Number 8

Design an organizational logic from the study of your number's properties. How can a material/structural system be derived from this logic? Using only bass wood elements build this tectonic/structural condition within the boundaries of a virtual 18" cubic volume. To define your number, examine the transition between it and the two numbers with which it is immediately adjacent. How does this transition take place? What are the spatial and structural implications of your particular threshold? Use this along with research on the qualitative/symbolic aspects of your number to influence how you construct the model. How do you extract spatial quality from quantity?


The photos above are study models made throughout the research phase of the project. Below are images of the second phase of the project.

Drawing Dinosaurs

Our last assignment for Visual Studies was to examine a dinosaur skeleton and then draw sections of the bones. These photos are some of my observations.
