This monograph is a retroactive thesis, the

product of reverse-engineering my previous

work. The process revealed my tendency

to design sequentially and a preference for

inventing unitized systems. I am intrigued by

the potentials of systematic design that utilizes

prefabricated customized units.

The post-parametric unit is not a standard

building block. Each individual component has

the ability to be entirely customized, the system

adjusting to accommodate it. Specificity can be

achieved and options are endless.

I want to keep working toward this. Maybe

forever.

As systems grow they evolve, the process by

which involves sequential change.

This is an investigation of the operations that

enable proliferation in my architecture.

SURVIVALISTSPLAYGROUND

We build higher than we can climb. As towers continue to

climb skyward, we rely on conveniences and technologies to

enable us to do so. The Urban Survivalist realizes that in order

to ensure his success in such an environment, he must be

prepared for the dissolution of those conveniences.

Ultimately, we choose to exercise to ensure our survival. Can

we re-frame our notions of survival and success to include

the conquering of our built environment? If so, is the banal

gymnasium successful in inspiring us to do so?

This is not a gymnasium. This is a training ground for the urban

survivalist. There are no dumbbells, barbells, or other mindless

equipment. Those who are willing, climb.

This building is the product of an exploration inverting, flipping,

and mirroring, in an aim to achieve circulatory complexity that is

well received by the user. A primary stair is propagated around

the site, held together by occupied space. This complex knot

can be easily comprehended by the user. When you are inside,

you understand your position relative to the rest of the building,

and you are comforted by knowing that there are many ways

out. The stairs challenge the user by gradually increasing in

height, almost imperceptibly, on each level. The porous

openings created by the configuration are used for climbing,

stretching, changing, swimming, and rest.

EXTREME URBAN FITNESS We build higher than we can climb.PR

In antiquity, scholars utilized the Method of loci as a mnemonic

device, in which they would envision the mind as an elaborate

palace, with places for each object of memory. In this scenario,

architecture is used as a visualization tool to aid memory

retrieval. I am reversing this relationship to create a physical

work of architecture to act as a receptacle for memory. These

stored memories will create mnemonic ties for a large audience

- the residents of Manhattan.

My mother might be a hoarder. Can you see her dining room

table? Neither can I. Its buried under stacks of stuff. If you flip

through any given portion you would find receipts, junk mail,

and a scattering of yellowed yearbook photos. Her basement

is in a similar state, but at a larger scale. Instead of stacks

of paper, there are stacks of boxes, tables piled high with

Christmas ornaments, kitchen gadgets, and clothing dating

back to the early 1980s. My father might be a compulsive

shopper. His obsession is of an enormous scale; he collects

cars. Its practical. They are an investment.

Both of my parents are emotionally attached to their respective

collections. God forbid I offer my assistance in de-cluttering

or my advice on downsizing. For reasons I will never fully

understand, those conversations are taboo.

What happens when Freudian psychology is used as a marketing

tool for more than half a century? Mass consumption and over-

purchasing abound as a method of pursuing happiness, but

at some point must wane. The return to a culture that values

objects for their functionality is imperative to its continuance...

Is it possible that our culture could be heading in a direction

that would enable us to release our objects? Or have we laden

our physical belongings with so much mnemonically attached

emotion that they are impossible to give up.

MEMORY PALACE

COLLECTIVE MEMORY RECEPTACLE

Mom and Dad, if youre reading this, I love you.

We consume. We collect.PR

FREEHOSTEL

My family rarely takes vacations. We are many, and travel isnt

cheap. As a child, wherever we went was a trip of necessity

or familial obligation. Everywhere that we traveled, we always

looked for free accommodations -- usually with relatives. To

this day, my parents would rather stay on an air mattress of the

floor of my apartment than to pay for a hotel. As such, I am fairly

unfamiliar with hotels, except through business travel. I always

find them a bit sterile, regardless of amenities and decor.

My experience with hostels abroad has been far more exciting,

and I am really fond of the sense of community that is fostered

through shared, temporary living space. I appreciate the way

that hostels become an aggregate of things left behind by

other travelers. Free books, towels, posters, and more build up

over time, creating an eclectic community atmosphere.

The Free Hostel takes the idea of a hostel to the next level. An

aggregate of things, it tells the story of the people who have

visited. The standard is for relaxing -- the Free Hostel is for the

adventurous. The primary unit of the hostel is derived from a

standard hotel room. Room amenities that are bastardized,

privatized versions of community elements have been removed

and appropriated into communal space. Guests choose a bed,

and can store their belongings in the accompanying locker.

There are shared kitchens, study spaces, bars, and television

rooms throughout the building. The hostel has the ability to

grow over time, as each of the bed units are a repeated and

mirrored primary that form the structure and layout of the

building.
