Project Description: Develop a set of ribs that incorporates transition, split, and transformation.
Process: The project consisted of consecutiveminor assignments, beginning with theVilla NM. With that precedent housewe understood the continuity withinthat building. Its transition was shownfrom the twist, which is the most dynamic aspect of its simplistic design.The split and transformation occured from the first “box”, the livingroom, tothe two private spaces diverging into two smaller boxes, the kitchen and bedrooms.From the characteristics of the Villa NMwe were to develop a set of ribs thatshow gradual adaptation from rib to rib.Then the ribs were correlated with sparsas the main spine and stringers that assisted in holding the pieces together. We first established the design digitally,then built a minature model.

After developing the skin and bones, we had to create an occupiable space that is about 10’x10’.That space would be used as a gallery.

Project Description: To design a metro entranceand bicycle transition and storage.
Site: Pan Pacific ParkCorner of 3rd St and Grove.
Process:We began with understanding variouscirculation and spaces in precedentmetro stations, and visited bike stations to evaluate the environmentof that program. We then picked a specific location on the Pan Pacificsite, did site analysis, and got datumsfrom its surroundings. We also gotquantitative data, people activity forexample, from which we developed aform that was constrained by a selected boundary box from the datums. Using the form we incorporated a design using panels that connected the metro’s structure and space for the bicycle station.z

Procedure: 1) Find and connec midpoints of line A and line B to make line C. 2) Divide line B into 4 and make line Cone fourth of both line divisions to create surface BDE.3) Make a cone three fourth of line Cand point A and point B. Theintersection of both surfaces createcurve AB.4) Make surface ABC.5) Make a cone three fourth of line Cand point A and point B. Theintersection of both surfaces createcurve AB.6) Find the midpoint of line AB and copy line B to make line C.7) Make a cone three fourth of line Cand point A and point B. Theintersection of both surfaces createcurve AB.8) Use command network surface to make surface ABCD.

Project Description:Use one man made material and onenatural material to interdependantlyconnect with each other to form a module.
Process:I chose a straw as the man made material, and leaves as the naturalmaterial. without using any adhesivesto connect the two, it had to useeach other interdependently to createa form. After making a set of modules to forma model, we had to take photos of it. We then chose a photo we liked and used a scanner to copy the image and make a symmetrical and an asymmetrical piece.

Project Description: Choose a precedent house and Understand the circulation and interlocking spaces in a home. Develop a process and sequence from entering the house and the circulationthroughout the building
Precedent study: Godoy House
Process: Using the existing floor plans and sections, we determined what the adjacent spaces were, the differentspacial sequences, and the circulationof the building. We then built a modelof the house using walnut wood thatwas welded onto ADF wood. Acrylic was used for the spacial sequences, and bass wood was used for the circulation.
