Final Spatial Investigations

After Failure Attempt 1, came success!

These are my final Sections that explore elements of Linearity and Repetition. Enjoy!

Linearity

Repetition

System Attempt Chokkura Plaza and Shelter

Here is  my continuos addiction to systems!

I'm studying this Building for my Studio class, by the architect Kengo Kuma in Japan called

Chokkura Plaza and Shelter.

Streeeeeechinnnnngggg the system!!!

Spatial Investigations

Here is my Failure Attempt 1 to make a section through my collages!

I will be soon posting Attempt 2. Let's see how that goes...

Section 1

Section 2

Spatial Investigations

Few days ago I was assigned to make a collage of images that graphically defined Light and Shadow , Color, Transparency, among other terms. I decided on the approach of taking pictures of buildings that speak for themselves.

These are my favorites:

  

  

 Light and Shadow + Color

 Windows from the Children's Museum, Boston

Transparency

Unknown (to me) building across from to Stata Center, Cambridge

Rhythm

Harry Parker Boathouse, Brighton

Movement

Harvard Graduate Housing, Cambridge

Boundary

Canopy from MIT Dormitory, Cambridge

Continuity

I saved this image on my computer about 3 years ago, and continue to enjoy it!

I'm interested in how everything (the roof, the bench, the floor and the structure) is part of the same continuos design.

Part of my obsession with repetition and systems in architecture!

Origami Architecture

In a effort to research and understand the Japanese culture, I came across this website:

http://www.origamisources.com/origami_sightings_architecture_design.htm

I really enjoy the close connection origami and architectural systems work, since they both involve the art of "folding" to create spaces.

Skeleton + Repetition

Here's another transparent building. The magic in this picture is that the building and photo are both real, but the photo somehow give you the impression that you are seeing transparent skeleton of the building only. The windows are placed in such way to give you reflection of the opposite side of the building, thus making it look so real. I love this optical illusion, Don't you?
