- The pavilion located in Hyde Park, began with a precedent study of the “Serpentine Pavilion” projects done every year.
-Through these analyses, the concept of our own designs, achieved through a series of studies, by experiment-ing with various geometries to produce a tessellating pattern(page14)
-The goal was to create something with simple roots, while maintaining a complexity through theorientation of parts, the maximization of views, and integration of program.

-Preliminary exercises focus on incorporating rainscreen technology to the facade using CLT panels as a material.
-Here is a double layer facade that tapers from bottom to the top, while the windows slowly appear to puncture through each surface

The integration of public and private space along with the transformative or flexible applications to those spaces can begin to bring people together and provide for, in many ways a stable and economically sustainable community. The Office of Emergency Management (O.E.M.) became a very inspiring design factor in the scheme of trying to incorporate a very wide variety of program on a single site. The flexible nature of the O.E.M. provided a means to experimentation on active/inactive/seasonal/perennial activities purely by the conceptual intent behind an O.E.M. During an emergency situation it is important that the citizens are aware of a place to go as refuge, or for goods in light of natural disasters. The inherent qualities of the program made this a very interesting challenge. Balance of community space and civil space is expressed by providing distinct urban street appeal while also allowing the porous nature of the building to invite guests into public courtyards where retail amenities lighten the atmosphere. Successful Integration of public and pri-vate space allows both workers and visitors the means to access the building cohesively and without interrupting one another.

31LOW-RISE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
(Collaborative project pg. 31-41)Zainab Alaithan Phillip Grasso Fernando Campos DESIGN PROBLEM / INTENT The goal of the project was to generate a new way of looking at suburbia. The project needed to be low-rise, high density, but besides those conditions, it also needed to address issues such as resiliency in different scopes: economic, social and environmental; it needed to address the issues caused by, and exposed by Super Storms like Sandy, sea level rise, and FEMA guidelines; all of these parameters without forgetting the use of smart materials, that we were exposed to during the semester. Overall, it was a very complex project, with many different considerations to make. We intend to generate a dynamic process of interactions that will ulti-mately reflect a new way of looking to the form and function of suburbia and the surrounding activities. We will achieve this through the placement of dwellings, pedestrian, walkways, share spaces, vehicle circulation and commercial units, in the form of layers.

VALUES, ATTITUDES, AND APPROACHES
We each were given a precedent to apply in a very loose and formal way to a site. One of us came up with a grid concept to this precedent, so that was also impor-tant in the design process. The fact that this project had to change the way we look at and think if suburbia made us think that, any new form that we applied to the project would give us that “different way of looking at suburbia”, but that was not the point, so instead we focus on “how suburbia was lived” and we let the project develop from there. We took as an example, Vicente Guallart and his Shared-Space tower and the idea of having very small units with limited services, which shared one common space that had the commodities that the unit did not. We then took this idea of how people could potentially co-exist, sharing the areas where activities could be done as part of a bigger group. Activities such as: cooking, eating, playing, laundry, leisure. The second key point is layering and that merged with the idea of the grid where we generated a series of layers in plan view but also in elevation. To think of units, pathways, car circulation, shared spaces and commercial units, as layers, we super imposed those layers within the grid to generate an architectural composition that would allow for those layers to co-exist. In elevation we thought of the relationship of private, semi-private and public layers, and how these could also begin to inform the design process.

These stick models are part of a series of models and drawings that reflect specific cinematic techniques associated with particular films which revitalized or renewed an appreciation for watching film. What these intend, is to provide a way of translating the relationship of camera, to subject and scene, into a tangible object. In turn, becoming the basis for a cinema pavilion (pg. 45) which was the preliminary exercise before designing the theater.

The “Theater” is a transformative space that is experienced rather than viewed. The technological need by society has made the majesty of going to see a film obsolete, and therefore, watching a film must change and evolve to become as it once was. Through careful organization of components the space should envelope the user to become a much more integral part in the performance of the theater. Static energy of today’s movie theaters produce a very monotonous experience that has little value in the age of HD, 72” Flat Screen Televisions. The upscale home has become a theater of sorts, much different than that of 60 years ago. The theater re imagined into a 2 hour amusement park, that goes beyond the viewing pleasure, and into the felt, emotional and Imaginary world. To free the Theater and see it as an opportunity for growth and innovation is necessary for its success.
