The proposed site is located on a hill and can be accessed by both cars and pedestrians via paved roads. It also requires consideration of elevation changes when organizing programs due to there being two access points to the site. The project recieves most of its sunlight from the south side of the site. The layout of the spaces were designed by grouping related programs together and using a grid system, with an emphasis on incorporating curves and angles for a softer aesthetic. The site’s two roads were utilized by placing parking and a meeting deck on the higher road, and a ramp leading to the lower level from the lower road. An issue I wanted to address in this project was privacy. The residents should be able to enjoy their private space, while visitors are on the site. The left block of programs includes a private living space, a kitchen nook, a powder room and a private deck on the first floor. When the resident makes their way down the stairs they are met with the private bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, storage, and laundry. The project also includes a research lab, office, parking, ADA restroom, and a public viewing deck with a cantilever. If the resident wants to get to work they can exit their living space on the first floor and walk across to the office and research lab in the right block. The research lab also has access to the public viewing deck if the scientists ever want to invite guests in and demonstrate lessons. Glass is used in certain areas such as living space, kitchen, and bedrooms to allow for natural light and a more comfortable living environment.

This project’s intent was to provide easy circulation through the plinth and freedom of choice in the tower. The plinth is essentially two strips of program that direct circulation paths. The plinth sits flush with the site to integrate them together. The site becomes the plinth and the plinth becomes the site. When one walks towards the project from the parking garage they are faced with a courtyard and an overhang of the gallery, as well as an overhang of the tower. Although they have similarities, the plinth and tower serve different purposes. The plinth has a fabrication lab, model shop and cafe on the first floor. It also has a lecture and gallery on the second floor. The tower consists of a lobby, seminar, studio and office spaces. The plinth is concrete and solid which contrasts the delicate twisting facade on the tower. The facade is fabric spanning along the height of the tower that can be turned by the people occupying the building. This way the facade responds to the programmatic conditions and the environmental conditions. One can manipulate the “exterior curtains,” in any way they choose. Rooms can be private from the outside one hour and public the next. The tower can be accessed from the first level plinth under the overhang as well as through the second floor cafe that looks down into the first floor cafe.

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE ART

LITTLE TOKYO, LOS ANGELES

My process on designing this infill site began by subtracting volumes from the site by following a grid made up of vertical and horizontal lines perpendicular to each other. As I was subtracting volumes I kept in mind the kind of space it would make for one to experience it. Once the volume has been subtracted from, circulation was considered. An opening was created in the front to allow circulation into the project from the first floor. This floor continues all the way to the back of the site. There is a staircase leading the visitor from the lobby which is on the first floor to the plaza level where the cafe and bookstore is. One can either visit the museum or use it as a short cut from the street to a shopping center. Once one enters the project from 1st street they are presented by the lobby which leads to the gallery, staff offices, and outdoor space. To the left is the staircase which takes the visitor into the gallery. This stair case is enclosed on the sides but has a skylight. As I mentioned before, the diagnol was implemented to bring hierarchy to the gallery spaces since it is the program I wanted to highlight the most. Although the stairs in this project provide a very isolated circulation experience it is carefully placed in the program to lead visitors down specific paths. Another important circulation aspect to this project is the diagonal bridge allowing one to get from one side of the site to the other. Both ends lead to the gallery space. One can occupy the space on, in and under this volume. This diagonal volume continues even after intersecting another volume. The purpose is to direct one towards that space.

House Husaro, located in the outer Stockhold archipelago, is a single family, private residence which was built by Tham and Vinegard Arkitekter in 2012. The location of House Husaro is a very forested area. The intenstions of this house was to build a summer family home for the architect’s family. It is a very private, but social and large space for a family to stay at. This home has two stories total. The first has living, dining, kitchen, and restroom space. The second floor has two spatiuos bedrooms. The second story features a skylight, bringing natural light in. The home is on a pier foundation that is embedded into the bedrock. This home is a beautiful way of capturing nature while maintaing privacy. The floors are hardwood floor throughout the home. There are vaulted cielings go throughout the first floor and they are made of birch plywood. The interior framing is completely made of plywood. Above the beams on the second floor has a skylight to bring in natural light. The exterior of the buildin is wrapped in a folded black metal, along with a galss curtian wall
