SITE STRATEGY :CONVENIENCE PATHS
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY :MEANDERING PATHS / CONTINUOUS SPACE
VISITOR
STUDENT/FACULTY
Mobius Studioinstructor: Olivier Touraineprogram: UCLA Architecture Department
The studio promotes interconnectivity within the school of architecture as well with the campus community. It is sited in such a way to create paths of convenience across the site and campus. The building wraps around these high trac areas to expose the building and its uses to the public. The form relates to adjacent building height to t with the campus landscape and wraps around a central courtyard and creates a continuous ring of space. Program is terraced within to create a more open and interconnected studio environment. Floor slabs are punctured to bring in more light as well as create more interior views. The building meets the ground with reveals for light as well as views inward. A meandering path makes its way into the building to give public a view of the work and facilities.

Bodo Suninstructor: Open Competitionprogram: Boat Museum / Library / Theatercollaborator: Chris White Bod's unique geographic conditions challenge its architecture to be equally unique. Prolonged darkness gives man the opportunity to create the light of his own city. Only in prolonged light can man appreciate a perpetual oasis of warm, open shade. The Kulturhus will transform the waterfront of Bod with light. Light will make the hall itself a destination not only for cultural events, but as everyday social space.The marina will be a landscape of bright warmth in the darkness of night and winter, with the Kulturhus serving as the Bod Sun. The large face of the arched shell will radiate light outwards on the entire waterfront area. The Slooping Museum is chiey for the purpose of exhibiting Bod's maritime history and heritage. The proposal locates the museum on the pier root site facing the quay, where the main exhibition piece is the last remaing Nordlandsjekt, Anna Karoline, displayed through the center room of the building. Also included in the Museum is a small restaurant & snack bar, classroom, small presentation hall, oce space, and additional exhibition space.

Bodo Sun 2/5 Site / PromenadeSite: three conditions of symmetry
Time-light Symmetry: Bod Sun
In analyzing the sun chart of Bod (6766 North - 1422 East), the one month of night and one month of day is a unique and signicant phenomenon. There is a possibility to introduce an articial source of light which brightens the long darkness in the winter, attracting the inhabitants of Bod to engage both buildings.
Vertical Symmetry: The reecting sea
To build this new sun for the city, we will take advantage of its location near the sea. Water duplicates the presence of an object through reection, the reection line dissolves with degrees of vibration. The Nye Kuturhus (BKN) is a lighted public arcade that extends into the sea with a semicircular outline, the reection of which forms a huge disc of light.
Horizontal Symmetry: Two poles and a promenade
One pole is dened by the blocks 100 and 105, and the second by the Pier Root site. Both are facing each other, containing a virtual axis of symmetry in the water. Both are connected by what could be a very interesting urban land-scape, the harbor promenade. Our proposal locates the Slooping Museum on the Pier Root Site, facing the quay front and the harbor, and leaves the more complex program to the second pole. The Nye Kulturhus is located on block 105 and face the harbor, and the library, the international center, etc, are located in the spacious block 100. There is a formal relationship between the two buildings; the Nye Kulturhus is an index to the form of the museum, which suggests one building being pulled from the other. There is a coherent structural system based on parabolic geometries and a common membrane that allows the possibility of both reecting and emitting light over its entire surface.
Promenade: an urban landscape
Of equal importance as the buildings will be the attractive-ness of the urban space that connects them. Our project addresses this space with wooden and glass strips as the basic cells that, in multiple combinations, would generate the individual elements needed to urbanize these spaces:
1. Wind shelter: the wooden walkway folds to create a shelter that will attenuate the severe wind blowing across the harbor. 2. Benches: both as folded wood and cubic translucent glass emerging from the walkway. 3. Planters: some voids are inserted between the cells that allow vegetation to grow. 4. Light lines: below the boardwalk, lights project upwards form-ing an entropic landscape through the promenade. 5. Light displays: emerging from the walk as translucent mono-liths, they will extend the inner exhibition program to the outdoors. They can be used to display information, or as art frames to display temporary digital work.
All the described elements are scattered between the twelve main lines that run from the Slooping Museum to the Nye Kulturhus.

Kulturhus/ LibraryThe Kulturhus will transform the waterfront of Bod with light. Light will make the hall itself a destination not only for cultural events, but as everyday social space.The marina will be a land-scape of bright warmth in the darkness of night and winter, with the Kulturhus serving as the Bod Sun. The large face of the arched shell will radiate light outwards on the entire waterfront area.
The proposal places in blocks 100 and 105 a complex hybrid building that emerges from the smaller and fragmented urban scale of the adjacent buildings, climbs vertically, merges into one form, and ends with a unied ring of light facing the harbor. A sheltered, open-air piazza provides Bod's residents a refuge from the dark, windy winter months. Cafes border the piazza with tables, and the leeward-facing view of the marina, framed with a series of high wooden arches, keeps out the northwest wind and overlooks the illuminated marina and Slooping Museum. The building reads as a cascade of light that connects both blocks with a bridge above Halogalandsqata Street. The ground oor of the Kulturhus is divided into two areas: public gathering space, and theater support areas. Just inside the sheltered public plaza, ticket sales, restrooms, and cloak rooms receive concert goers. A facade of treated glazing separates the interior space from the piazza. The marina is visible through parabolic glazed arches which speak to the Slooping Museum directly across the water.
The form of this large foyer space comes directly form the theater oor which swoops overhead, with wooden planks that conjure the hull of a huge ship resting on the soaring glass wall.
A restaurant is located above the main theatre, providing beau-tiful views of the harbor. The libraries, showrooms, cafeterias, international center and rhythmic center are located on block 100. A central covered street gives access to these programs, connecting a unied, continuous space below the singular translucent roof. In the upper level, the circulation surrounds the high space of the libraries. Here we nd other services, like the newspapers, collections, seating room and the administra-tion oces

Bodo Sun 4/5 Slooping MuseumThe Slooping Museum is chiey for the purpose of exhibiting Bod's maritime history and heritage. The proposal locates the museum on the pier root site facing the quay, where the main exhibition piece is the last remaing Nordlandsjekt, Anna Karoline, displayed through the center room of the building. Also included in the Museum is a small restaurant & snack bar, classroom, small presentation hall, oce space, and addi-tional exhibition space.
The space is wholly day-lit by the fully glazed facades at east and west. The dierent light quality over both the course of the day and the year changes the atmosphere and experience of visiting the museum continually.
The form of the museum is determined by the geometry of a parabola. The prole of the shell registers three intersecting parabolas. At these intersections, parabolic openings connect the interior spaces transversely across the museum.
The form of these parabolas are taken directly from the aper-tures on the face of the Kulturhus, which faces the museum across the marina. The direct correlation between these two building forms creates a strong visual continuity across the harbor.
The main public areas of the museum are located on the ground level. An open plan, divided into three parallel sections, accommodate the major public programs. The entrance to the museum opens directly to the ticket counter. Adjacent to the ticket counter, the restaurant has a view of the city and sea to the west.
The central exhibit space, steps down below grade, allowing visitors to get face to face with hull of the ship. From this lower space, visitors have have access to a classroom and small meeting hall. Also below grade, oce space and museum storage lie below the secondary exhibit space.
The secondary exhibit space is designed to accommodate both permanent and temporary installations.

Donovans Work
Inhabitable Visions instructor: Judith Musselprogram: Tara Donovan Gallery
Occupying multiple planes; oors, walls, ceiling, each of Donovans works is to be view from a certain angle. In creating a space that houses her work highlighting these views, the gallery becomes an instrument for viewing. Lines of sight are made physical to bring focus to each piece, while creating a dynamic space to experience the work. The work plays back on the architecture with powerful light and shadow on the simple concrete nish.

Innovation Incubatorinstructor: Craig Hodgettsprogram: Center for Innovationcollaborator: Adam Levine
The organizational layout of this project is derived from a number of hierarchies; including social interaction, ecient workow, noise control and air quality. The southern section of the site is given to the public, which includes the oces, galleries and theaters.
The shops are brought together at the center of the site for a few reasons. Workow is less disturbed when shops are adjacent to each other, allowing users to have quick access to diering types of tools. This crossover also increases social interaction among rms that work on dierent sorts of projects. Another benet is that all specialized HVAC and air removal equipment can be condensed and minimized. The shops are all on one level, allowing for ease of shipping as well as moving ones work from assembly space to shop and to gallery space.
Pods of small shop space and meeting rooms are dispersed through the site for the benet of people who primarily function in the design and assembly spaces. These pods are organized by adjacencies and sight connections throughout the project. Circulatory paths also catalyze social and visual interaction

Umbrella HouseInstructor: Mark Mackprogram: Single family Residence Sited on Eastern Canal in Venice, CA the Umbrella House is a steel structure whos form relates to views of the canal and solar orientation. The curved shells shade the harsh south/ southwest sun with an air gap to vent hot air. The plan maximizes site usage, taking advantage of the necessary site set backs. The south terrace accepts the three foot set back giving it a functional use. The ground oor kitchen opens up the canal side yard bringing the exterior into the house. The split level organization helps to dene interior spaces while leaving it open with little partition.

Umbrella HouseInstructor: Mark Mackprogram: Single family Residence Sited on Eastern Canal in Venice, CA the Umbrella House is a steel structure whos form relates to views of the canal and solar orientation. The curved shells shade the harsh south/ southwest sun with an air gap to vent hot air. The plan maximizes site usage, taking advantage of the necessary site set backs. The south terrace accepts the three foot set back giving it a functional use. The ground oor kitchen opens up the canal side yard bringing the exterior into the house. The split level organization helps to dene interior spaces while leaving it open with little partition.

Between the Sheetsinstructor: Heather Robergeprogram: Facade Panel System Digital design has given rise to formal experimentation that outpaces advancements in construction methods. This technology seminar attempts to choreograph formal experiments in step with computer aided manufacturing processes such that the two are linked from the outset. Participants design and prototype formed aluminum panel arrays for use in building envelopes. In order to incorporate highly crafted, custom panel manufacture, the design proposals will limit tooling costs by limiting unit types. The unit will be understood as a tessellation unit capable of drawing topographic elds with geometric rhythm. Modulation of pattern, shape and texture are the primary design techniques with each relying heavily on intense elds of geometric description.

Warped Pliesinstructor: Jason Payneaim: distortion of primitive
This project is specically interested in exploiting the double curvature of a standard skate deck beyond its material
capabilities to create bends that can only be achieved by predetermined slits and darts. Charles and Ray Eames engineered six
dierent darts into the leg splint in order to allow the various curvatures for each part of the splint; in addition, each slit in the ply
rotates around a central pivot point to create slits rather than cuts. The formal expression of the bulges arrayed across the surface was
chosen by displacing the areas of double curvature to specied locations. The result of the displayed double curvature is a reaction to
forces of nine localized curvatures. The combination of these nine forces results in unique areas of localization that are doubly curved
to resolve the surface within the provided parameters.

Venice Loungerindependentrecycled skateboards / oak plywood The skateboard has had a long lasting and continuing eect on Californias culture and way of life. As a reaction to this pervasive inuence, I hope to tap into this vast market by creating a product that makes use of recycled skateboard decks and components. The skateboard has a number of inherent qualities that are apt for furniture design. The skate deck has natural curves that can be manipulated to conform to the human body. The trucks and hardware alternatively can allow the decks to ex and serve as an active cushioning system for the product. My intention is to use these properties innovatively to create a marketable product, meanwhile enhancing my craft in woodworking and digital fabrication.
