double negativeFall 2013|Pakravan
Two solids formed by triangulation to form a lateral torque and a longitudinal torque that intersect, which are then subtracted from a rectangular volume to produce dynamic spaces. The intersecting voids create abstract dynamic spaces.

In the same site as the sequence, this project calls for a modern library which accomodates a lot of books, children's room, offices, teenagers' room, community garden. I carry the concept of torque by interlocking two torques, forming a double helix, which sits in a transluscent box, challenging the spaces within the torque and the spaces between the torque and the exterior walls.

It also challenges what is void and what is solid. The interiority of the torques are all aligned with book shelves while the space between the torque and translucent box is associated with non book programs such as the community meetnig rooms, offices, and bathrooms. Light enters the interior of the torques through the splits which happens as the torque twists.
This double helix scheme allows for social iteraction where the torques intersect to create all four levels, which include children's area, teenage room, reception, and garden terrace.

Using the idea of a torque, defined as a large pivot in the z axis, the carving out of two intersecting torques result in an earthwork sequence nestled in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill. The conceptual idea of subtraction of intersecting volumes from an existing solid volume is carried from the previous project, the double negative.

good food center
Spring 2014 | Chang
The Good Food Center is a building which combines commerce, education, and research regarding food into a mixed used buidling in the heart of Soma, San Francisco. The program given was as dense as a three and half floor building with buildings adjacent to it, making the most importatnt challenge how to allow light into the building while rationalizing the organization of all the programs.
My design uses the concept of a series of parallel lines along the same grain in which emphasizes the diagronal line through the misalignment of these grains which stop at the diagonal. The diagronal against the straight grain not only brings in these giant light-wells but also allows for the main circulation. The diagonal is further emphasized by the placement of walls and furniture so that the persons in this building experience this diagronal movement unconciously.

diana center analysis

WEST SOUTH
This ia an analytical study of Diana Center, Barnard College, New York.
Diana Center, which has a unique fritted paneling system allows different intensity of light corresponding to the interior program of the building.
My analytical drawing is an unfolding of the envelope projecting it onto the interior plan as a grid system. I then use this diagrammatic draw-ing as the blueprint for my model.
The model uses etched plexi, which is frosted according to each fritted panel type. The line remains continuous onto the gridded floor plans in which tiles of plexi begin to form a topography map according to the ligh intensity within.
