OTHERMUSEUMA CHILDREN’S MUSEUM FOR RAPID COGNIT ION

Other Museum explores an atmosphere of curiosity and discovery. Exhibitions focus on the kind of thinking that happens in the blink of an eye. Spatial relations promotes Intellectual growth by Challenging that which we consider reality, or the way things work. Using tools such as anamorphic projection, experiential learning, interactive objects, and temporal environments occupants are motivated to question their understanding of space and how we inhabit it.

To exploit the occupants subconscious reaction to what they interpret as defined space, the museum plays with what i t is that defines the space. Imagination and sensation are, in some sense, facult ies of the mind insofar as i t is united with a body. Therefore, Other Museum asks you to question your own physical presence.

Pushing and pulling layers conceive voids; Voids therefor, create the boundaries.

In the longitudinal section of the mu-seum you see circulation and gallery spaces lose their particular boundar-ies. Slippage occurs where stairs begin to deform the ribbons and, vice versa, manipulating the hierarchy of space. Spaces are no longer defined by physical relationships, rather, expe-riential qualities such as crowd density, light, perspective, and ones own qual-ity of transience.

d.e.iDETROIT SCHOOL FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION

Detroit is a city fresh full of resources and bright young minds. Yet, the city’s growth is at an all time low. Abandoned buildings and forgotten businesses are a common scene. Detroit School for Entrepreneurship and Innovation aims to reach out to the community, help bring business back to the city, and seize the unrec-ognized resources that Detroit has.

d.e.i will sit at the center of Detroit’s cultural district. The site is currently home to a few abandoned buildings, a museum, parking lots, and empty space. d.e.i illustrates the symbiotic relationship between community and school.

The school will be imple-mented with the same concepts as precedents such as the Highline in NY. Reusing the aban-doned space to improve the community.

The form was designed to harmoniously connect the com-munity with and within the school. Circulation paths create a main corridor that guides the occupant from one side of the site to the other, while sub-pathways create interaction spaces. Elbows in the circulation create visual hot spots and are purposely programmed to exploit the social atmosphere. There are 4 atriums within the school that visually connect the levels, deliver sunlight to classrooms, and create a more open space. The most important architectural factors in cre-ating a community within the school are: visual connections, interaction spaces, circulation hierarchy, and central hub for collaborating and sharing.

THE SPACEWITHIN

FALL 2010UG1

24

It is always around, but it is only defined by its edges. Space is a parasite. Its survival depends on another. Yet space is what defines the purpose of its edges. In this project we investigate space using four images associated with an industrial environment. In the images, crisscrossing supports and repeating structures along with opaque planes and masses form integrated layers. Large pockets of space are created by interlocking planes. The depths of multiple surfaces create a shadow making machine. Space begins to be defined not only by masses but by light and shadows, giving us the ability to realize the utility of what is not.

THE SPACE WITHIN

“Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub;

It is the center hole that makes it useful.

Shape clay into a vessel;

It is the space within that makes it useful.

Cut doors and windows for a room;

It is the holes which make it useful.

Therefore profit comes from what is there;

Usefulness from what is not there.”

-Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 11

This renovation of a 1920’s two story, at the heart of the Canadian con-tryside, began with the stripping of the interiors and was rebuilt using a modern and traditional vocabulary. While the project is still underway, the kitchen examplifies that warm and rooted inspiration of the countryside. The white cabinetry and detailed glass panels are brought together by a rustic marble island and an oven vent that was built using reclaimed wood from an old barn on theproperty.

THE FRONT FACADE HAS THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO SLIDE COMPLETELY OPEN, ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATING A BARRIER BETWEEN THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. THE EDGE IS BLURRED FURTHER BY AN ALMOST COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT SHELL WITH A POROUS WOOD DESIGN AT THE CENTER. A LONG BAL-CONY, HOSTING A MAGICAL WATERFALL HELPS TO CREATE A NATURAL COOLING CONDITION AND SOUND EFFECT THAT CAN EITHER CONTRIBUTE TO THE INTERIOR OR SERVE AS A NATURAL BLIND. THE GRAND STAIRCASES ARE MADEWITH REUSED RAILROAD TIES. THE ENTIRE SPACE FLOWS CONGRUENTLY BECAUSE OF ITS CONSTANT RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE THROUGH VISUAL AND AUDIO EFFECTS, BLURRING OF PHYSICAL BARRIERS, AND SELECTION OF MATERIALS.

DESPINADespina can be reached in two ways, by ship or by camel. The city displays one face to the traveler arriving overland and a different one to him who arrives by sea. When the camel driver sees, at the horizon of the tableland, the pinnacles of the skyscrap-ers come into view, the radar antennae, the white and red windsocks flapping, the chimneys belching smoke, he thinks of a ship; he knows it is a city, but he thinks of it as a vessel that will take him away from the desert, a windjammer about to cast off, with the breeze already swelling the sails, not yet unfurled, or a steamboat with its boiler vibrating in the iron keel; and he thinks of all the ports the foreign merchandise the cranes unload on the docks, the taverns where crews of different flags break bottles over one another’s heads, the lighted, ground floor windows, each with a woman combing her hair.

In the coastline’s haze, the sailor discerns the city form of a camel’s withers, an embroidered saddle with glittering fringe between two spotted humps, advancing and swaying; he knows it is a city, but he thinks of it as a camel from whose pack hang wineskins and bags of candied fruit, date wine, tobacco leaves, and already he sees himself at the head of a long caravan taking him away from the desert of the sea, toward oases of fresh water in the palm trees’ jagged shade, toward palaces of thick, whitewashed walls, tiled courts where girls are dancing barefoot, moving their arms, half-hidden by their veils, and half-revealed. Each city receives its form from the des-ert it opposes; and so the camel driver and the sailor see Despina, a border between two deserts.

61

“DESPINA CAN BE REACHED IN TWO WAYS, BY SHIP OR BY CAMEL.”

BOTH TRAVELLERS SEEK THE QUALI-TIES OF THE OTHER’S DESERT. EACH STEP IS LONG AND HARD, BUT SUPPORTED BY THE PROMISES AND SEDUCTION OF THE OTHER SIDE; EACH STEP PUSHES A DEEPER LONGING FOR THE OTHER SIDE.
