Cosmogramma
Assigned February 2012, Los Angeles Institute of Architecture and Design
MediumGoogle Sketchup, Basswood
Assignment DescriptionDevelop a rule-based system to select six of Sol Lewitts 122 forms, arrange them in a linear fashion, extend their vertices, and carve the enclosure surrounding the forms.
The source of data I chose for this project was a music album titled Cosmogramma by experimental hip-hop artist Flying Lotus. This album was released during a dark period of my life and helped me rise above personal struggles. As the first design project in the program, I wanted to pay homage to an essential element of my reconstruction.
The six forms represent a mixtape of three compositions. Two forms representing one track, comprised of an entry point and transition point in the mix. By dividing the runtime of the album by the 122 permutations, each form becomes 22 seconds of album time.
Tracklist
Selection of Permutations
Entry and Transition Points Mixtape
The forms chosen as entry and transition points connect at the sides that are mirror images of each other to represent two parts of the same track.
When two tracks are played in unison during the transition of a mix, the opportunity to generate a sum greater than its parts arises. To parallel this concept, the forms combine to complete a squares four sides.
Orientation
Orientation of Entry and Transition Points Orientation of Songs Final Orientation of Skeleton
Extension of a Song
Each song is sonically measured by a peak meter, recording the average signal strength of the frequencies comprising the track. The four horizonal levels of the forms representing the song are assigned four ranges of frequencies, from bass to treble. A value from that frequency range is randomly assigned to a vertice and is extended according to signal strength. This formula is repeated to the remaining two tracks.

Identical Frequency Alignment and Depicted PathwayExtensions Representing Identical Frequencies on Skeleton
Rule Two Results
Extension Protrusion
Rule One:Signal Strength ProtrusionExtensions puncture the shell based on signal strength. If the extension protrudes beyond the shell, the shell fastens itself at two sides of the extension.
Rule Two:Frequency AlignmentExtensions representing identical frequencies are connected within the skeleton, their pathways depicted on sides of the shell.
A 5 x 5 x 18 shell wraps around the 3 x 3 x 18 skeleton equidistantly. A rule-based system must be used to determine how incisions are made on the shell, as well as how the shell connects to the skeleton. Two rules are generated separately, their results amalgamated, producing a sum greater than its parts.
Rule One Results
Rule Two
Synthesis of Rulesets
When both perforations are combined, an intersection of negative space from both rules creates regenerated positive space on the shell.
Final Model in Basswood
Any isolated pieces resulting from the synthesis are removed.

MediumGraphite, Tracing Paper, Pigment Liner, Strathmore, Pantone
Assignment DescriptionConduct a diagrammatic transformation of two important twentieth century architectural works through the pocheting of orthogonal grid overlays of their floorplan, synthesize two diagrams of each work, and finally project the two composite pieces as opposing sets of two-dimensional data inside a three-dimensional axonometric cube.
Original Architectural Works
UnusualsFloorplansFor this project, two floorplans are selected from a group of 12 architectural works to be used as specimens for abstracted spatial analysis. Using tracing paper, gridlines are placed to mark architectural elements and filled in based on interactions specified by generated rulesets.

Make basic goods plentiful and easily accessible and productivity will rise, guaranteed. Having places to eat is very helpful, not even great
places, but just a variety. If you're constantly eating the same food very day, it becomes a routine and not a good one since you stop looking
forward to it.
So far, client interaction has been strictly at the client office or via conference call. They typically don't come to the office because they have other business to attend to besides the work we do for them.

The existing circulation is utilized to fragment the office space into parts, allowing for reorientation and massing that creates pockets for outdoor workspaces to be generated on the project site.
While the clients current workplace is programmatically static, employ-ees regroup from project to project on a daily basis quite frequently. The dynamicism of this environment can be utilized for crossprogrammatic experimentation of outdoor office spaces.
Site Plan TransformationAfter the office is fragmented by circulation, the pieces are reoriented to generate pockets of openings on the ground level.
The pockets link together through a central pathway laced with outdoor work stations. Elevated walkways connect the three masses together.
Elevators and stairs (denoted in dark grey) connect the ground floor park and outdoor office with the elevated indoor office.
The project enables employees to change their work environment when necessary to maintain productivity and happiness.

Outdoor Office Space ConfigurationsBy generating a typology of outdoor work spaces, the testing of this programmatic exploration can be conducted in an environment that promotes the nomadic professional lifestyle. These hexagonal kiosks not only support the workers employed on site, but can entice professionals in the surrounding area to also use the space. This can create networking benefits for both types of employees.

Outdoor Hot-Desk Work Environment Facilitating Mobility
Project Reactions with Urban ContextBy creating outdoor office space, the site generates both interactions and intra-actions with the urban context beyond the psychological benefits of being outside. This could potentially facilitate professional networking and new business opportunities to benefit all involved parties. Such a work environment embraces the nomadic work lifestyle that typifies the ethos of the upcoming generations entering the workforce. The application of outdoor workspaces can evolve current trends of co-work spaces and collaborative workflows under the backdrop of an environment that has been consistently poorly mimicked indoors. Such an evolution can enable a professional society to directly engage in a more active lifestyle.
