Location: Downtown LosAngles S. Hill St and W. 4th StSite: Bunker Hill is a significant landmark for downtown Los Angeles. It connects people from different ethnic backgrounds and social levels. The site is linked by the market and California Plaza. Site also acts as a hub for commuters, linking an underground rail sytem to above ground bus routes. California Plaza is located at the top of Bunker Hill and overlooks the site. The skyscrapers and Californa Plaza at the top of the hill are predominatly used by middle upperclass workers, and the market at the bottom of the hill is prodominatly used by lower class workers and immigrants. Part of the goal of this project is to link the two sites and create a reason for the different communities to interact.

Objective: Reintroduce the community to the chamber orchestra and reinvent the relationship between the community and the orches-ra, and enhance this relationship through architecture.

External Reference: As an external reference, an acoustic musical instrument was required, in order to embody the spirit of the chamber orchestra, as well as to teach the students about the type of music that would be performed. The study of the instrument should investigate how it creates sound through its form, components and use, and how these principles can be related to the site.

FOR THE LOWEST FLOOR A SINGLE UNIT IS USED FOR EACH WALL. THE UNIT IS STREACHED IN ONE DIRECTION TO BECOME THE LENGTH OF THE WALL AND THE WIDTH OF THE UNIT IS HALFED TO ALLOW WALKING SPACE INSIDE THE ROOM.

IN THE MIDDLE LEVEL THE CUBES DIMENSIONS STAY IN THEIR ORIGINAL PORPORTIONS FOR THE LENGTH, AND TWO REFLECTED UNITS ARE USED FOR EACH WALL.THE WIDTH OF THE UNITS ON THIS LEVEL ARE ALSO HALVED TO ALLOW FOR MORE ROOM ON THE INTERIOR.

ON THE UPPERMOST FLOOR A BLOCK OF EIGHT UNITS CREATES THE LONG WALLS, WITH THE UNITS STACKED IN TWO ROWS OF FOUR ON TOP OF EACHOTHER. EACH OF THE UNITS IS REFLEXTED TO CREATE THE OTHERS. ON THIS LEVEL THE ORIGINAL WIDTH OF THE UNITS IS KEPT TO PROVIDE VARIALTION IN THE INTERIOR EXPERIENCE.

pRocess of cReating manta minimal suRface object fRom oRiginal minimal suRface.

The original minimal construction object is used to create the walls of the house by using it as a modular element on dierent scales.

For the lowest oor a single unit is used for each wall. The unit is streached in one direction to become the length of the wall and the width of the unit is halfed to allow walking space inside the room.

In the middle level the cubes dimensions stay in their original porportions for the length, and two reected units are used for each wall.The width of the units on this level are also halved to allow for more room on the interior.

On the uppermost oor a block of eight units creates the long walls, with the units stacked in two rows of four on top of eachother. Each of the units is reexted to create the others. On this level the original width of the units is kept to provide varialtion in the interior experience.

foR the lowest flooR a single unit is used foR each wall. the unit is stRetched in one diRection to become the length of the wall and the width of the unit is halved to allow walking space inside.

pRoject descRiption: find an aRea of unplanned space and cReate a photo collage of the volumes of space it encompases. take the volumes and manipulate them inside of a box to cReate negative volumes. finally, split both the combined manipulated volumes and the diffeRenced box into layeRs to cReate a woRking template.

concept: take found shapes and using a 3d modeling pRogRam, distoRt the shapes to cReate unique volumes. utilize these volumes to exploRe the idea of negative space within a cube. woRk to cReate inteResting expeRiential spaces within a simple cube while leaRning to use a modeling pRogRam and leaRning to set up lazeRcutting templates. shapes staRt out Roughly RectilineaR and

pRoject goal: leaRn the pRopeRties of fabRic casting and how this mode of casting cement can influence the pRoject as opposed to the tRaditional foRmwoRk casting. cReate a system which suppoRts itself and plant life in an inteRRelated system.

pRoject descRiption: this was a gRoup pRoject with six stu-dents woRking togetheR. we decided to cReate a modulaR system us-ing the fabRic casting method. one of the main goals of the pRoject was to figuRe out how we could show the attRibutes of fabRic in the final cement model, and utilize these attRibutes to influence the cReation and design of the pRoject.

this model was oRiginally a spheRe, with fouR aRms, but when it bRoke it inspiRed ouR design in unfoRseen ways.

this sketch came fRom the disscusion about the spheRe aRms and how they could be used to cReate a Repetitive system utilizing both sides of the cuRve, as well as the hanging aspect of fabRic and how it could be used to collect eitheR plants oR wateR.

2) The lines are then arranged vertically so that mirror image lines are next to eachother, and with the altered point pulled to the same side.

Also, the curves are enclosed on either end

create the corners of the box.

3) Next the lines are rotated 90 degrees to vertical.

4) Each curve is turned 90 degrees left or right, alternating in directionwith each curve, except for the straight curves.

pRoject goal: undeRstand volumetRic spaces within buildings and how they inteRact. leaRn to build a model out of wood and acRylic, focusing on accuRacy and cRaftsmanship.

pRoject descRiption: take an existing building, the la baita lodge, and diagRam the spatial sequences within the building to undeRstand how spaces inteRact with eachotheR. afteR diagRaming spaces, cReate physical wooden model to show ciRculation, public inteRlocking spaces and pRivate spaces. each type of space is shown with a diffeRent mateRial.
