CRITICAL QUESTIONS
How & why are they organized the way they are?
What & why are your tectonic elements and groups of
elements, and they way they are?
ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE
• A description of experiences gained along the design journey.
• TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT PATHS IN LIFE WHICH LEAD TO UNKNOWN PLACES. DIFFERENT OUTCOMES FROM UNIQUE EXPERIENCES.
• Intentions behind what you see, hear, and experience within the project.
• TO TRANSFORM USED MATERIAL INTO SYMBOLIC RESPRESENTATION OF LIFE.
TEAM PRESENTATION AT BOARD
collectively envision, plan,
design, manage, and build
temporary environmental
installations
Use of a hierarchically
layered tectonic expression
SITE RESPONSES
• HOLES IN WALL
• CORNER OF COURTYARD
• CONNECTION FROM BALCONY TO WALL
• COLOR: GRAY (WITH WOODEN FEATURES)
CONTRASTING WITH GOLDEN BROWN FROM
RECYCLED WOOD)
SITE ANALYSIS LEADING TO SITE SELECTION
SIMILAR ORGANIC
ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH
USED BY GANDHIJI
To Provoke others to
appreciate transformations
that are typically ignored or
taken for granted in
our every day world.
FULL-SIZE ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION
design and construction
responded to the unique
context of site, including
varying
climatic conditions.
IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS
HANGING STRUCTURES
(ITERATIONS) AND EXPERIMENTING WITH GRAVITY
AND NATURAL FORCES.
ALLOWING MATERIALS (WOOD
+ WIRE) TO DICTATE OVERALL
FORM AND STRUCTURE OF
INSTALLATION.
JOURNEY OF SPATIAL EXPERIENCES
THE MATERIAL USED HAS
HISTORY (EVERY PERSON
THAT SAT ON EACH BOARD)
EACH PIECE IS UNIQUE…
OLD DESK CHAIRS (DEAD)
USED TO CREATE LIFE
(SPACIAL JOURNEY
CREATING BY RECYCLING
AND JOINING TOGETHER)
pathways that unifies,
connects, and organizes all
Nodes within an Installation
as parts of a journey
JUROR’S CRITIQUES:
WEAKNESSES
Where the hanging section
meet with the structure, it
could have been a smother
connection.
STRENGTHS
Beautiful floor draws its
beauty from the way the
floor has a curvilinear shape
but at same keeping a
planer form.
ANALYSIS CONCLUSION:
In conclusion of my final
project and jurors critiques
I've learned the difficulties
and difference's in
conceptual concepts and
actual construction. I've
gained the ability to
communicate my ideas in a
group to most effetely find
solutions to critical
questions, breathing life into
an installation with an
Architecture narrative
taking any onlooker onto a
joinery through space
experiences.
