Flexible scale-less housing investigation where the act of dwelling becomes a game of social connections. Private space becomes variable and socially engaged -- public space becomes maximized and relegated to either the outside of the building, i.e. park space or minimized and negated in the corridors connecting the units.
HORIZONTAL CONNECTION : Rendering showing two units connecting horizontally to form a shared space.
SITEPLAN : Showing building siting as an extension of the city block that hangs off the topography of the High Bridge Park. Park becomes the public space of the building.
ENTRY PLAN : Plan view showing entry channel cut into existing site topography.
ENTRY PERSPECTIVE
CIRCULATION : Building as plug-in micro circulation.
URBAN CONTEXT : Showing the topographical condition.
STRUCTURE 2 : Vertical and horizontal circulation members for a virtual tabletop with legs. The green trusses provide an additional layer of lateral stability.
STRUCTURE DIAGRAM 3 : Topographical sections form rib system for tunnels and building.
ELEVATION : Looking NW. Building units are vertical mini-tower stacks consisting of 15 x 15 ft cubes.
NW SECTION : Section cut about 20 ft in, looking NW
INITIAL FACADE STUDY
PANELIZATION LOGIC : Custom program for optimizing panel layout written in Python
UNIT TYPE PLAN
CONNECTION DIAGRAM : Showing how vertical circulation components (blue) restrict and influence possible unit connections.
ANALYSIS 1 : Analysis of social dimensionality of randomly scraped Facebook status update messages
ANALYSIS 2 : Using the shifting scales of Facebook status messages to generate sample spatial concepts.
UNIT DETAIL : Showing triple skin layer for units, teal being the innermost layer, white the expandable layer with a track system and gray the outer shell.
EXPANSION TRACK SYSTEM DETAIL
UNIT MODELS : Study models for various unit configurations and expansion systems
