DESCRIPTION
In these boards you will see three projects with details on the process from start to finish. These projects each utilize a design theory that encompasses more than just the footprint of the building. The ideas involve how these designs engage the inhabitants as well as the communities in which they are a part.

Key Strategies
- Load-bearing/Central Core - Modular Units
- Fast Construction - Systematic Attachments
A proposal for a mixes-use, high-volume project at the Atlantic Yards site in Brooklyn. A key issue we kept in
mind was the surrounding communities. This forced a reduced apartment-to-!oor ratio, giving a smaller feel to
the towers. By also introducing exterior green spaces the towers become more livable and inviting.

Space and Assemblage Characteristics
This Mixed-use housing project in Williamsburg transforms an empty lot into an open area for the community and
provides each resident with a most valued item - a lawn.

Structural Transparency
Therapeutic Garden, Greenhouse, MuseumCagliari, Sardinia
A therapeutic garden is helpful to mind, body and spirit. Gardens contain a sense of peace and
parent structure as the idea of structure being visu-ally inherent and systematic. By combining this
sense of natural peace and wonder with transparent structure the result of this study was a system in-
spired by a structural form rooted in nature - Fractal branching.

Three rules formed the basis for the branching system.
1. Branching would occur in threes2. The lengths of each branch would be in third porportions3. Branching lines on converging paths are allowed to meet
