The New Brooklyn Museum Project, located in the south-west portion of the tax lot (Brooklyn Block 75, Lot 1) is an

irregular shape next to the Brooklyn Bridge that is approxi-mately 40,000 sf.

For this project I sought to identify the individuality that cre-ated Brooklyn. William Magear Tweed, William Poole, Fred-eric Thompson, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Henry E. Pierrepont and much more are people I believe influenced the cultural lifestyle of Brooklyn. Despite some who are not native to the county such as William Tweed, Or ‘Boss Tweed’, that financed for the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge from pool of cor-rupted money, help connect the two counties that aided the growth of businesses for New York. From this, the museum form, interior and exterior mirrors the concept of individuali-ty.

FABRICATION PROJECT

For this fabrication projects I studied and experimented with various methods, tools,

and equipment concepts to achieve each as-

signment objective.

The assignments concept derived from Dean King Book Skeletons on The Zahara. A nonfi-cition story abort survival and understanding the adverse and unusual circumstances of liv-ing with nature. The colorful illustrations of the vast landscape that extends beyond the eye from the beholder in the book gave me the underpinning approach for my landscape and folded volumes projects.

The concept previously was expanded from more research on landscape, resulted to dis-cover an article Order and Complexity in Landscape Design by Rudolf Arnheim. From the article I’ve that The Dynamics of nature

projected two sold theories, simplicity and complexity. Two elements teem noteworthy of interesting objects to a space due to the har-monic element rules. Simplicity brings an ob-ject to a familiar state of comprehension and complexity brings an object quality of being in-tricate or complicated are two basic roles.

FABRICATION COMPETITIONThe International Fabrication Festival, hosted by the Faculty of Architecture, the Built Environment and the Fabrication Laboratory at the University of Westminster, featured over 50 innovative pavilions designed and built by students across the globe. The festival proposition for students is to generate a design from cardboard and a range of other materials such as recyclable materials, correx and honeycomb cardboard.

The festival rules limited each group to a three-meter square cube area and required each team to use cardboard as a primary building material.

We initially modeled the pavilion based on how we wanted to interpret the space. The first iteration was based on properties of the materials and their restrictions. Our team tested the materials that were provided by the competition for their: tension compression and durability. We also interpreted the materials by its translucent, transparent and opaque properties. To further understand the quality of the materials, our team tried to explored the most efficient ways to

connect them.

The interior spatially defines the virtual reality that the occupant wants to perceive. To further define this idea of virtual space, the waffle structure’s rectilinear voids was used to interpret the

spaces formed from carving out the volume.
