The Collective offers a common neutral ground for all people. Each member of the
community has equal right and equal impact on how the Collective is shaped formally and
programmatically.

collective design
Collective Architecture embraces the relationship between a community of people and the
architect. The LAADC allows for the community members to work closely with an architect to
coordinate their design ideas. This ad hoc architectural system can be added to and adjusted
for the communities’ needs with the support of the architect.
collected communities
Los Angeles is a diverse city that is perpetually changing. It is made up of a rich collection of unique communities that are
themselves changing. Denser development responds to the changing needs of communities; historically Los Angeles has
developed through suburban sprawl. At present, Los Angeles has reached its limit of sprawl and must now be developed
through densification of its existing regions. The city is infilling and growing vertically to meet the increasing needs of its
residents.

The LAADC pushes the limitations of the property line and existing
buildings. This blurs the relationship between the growth of the
community and the consequential growth of the LAADC. It also breaks
the distinction between the community and the community center and
shows that they are in fact part of the same thing; a larger whole.

viral vectors
the museum form began with the concept of a bending surface that is determined by program-             Vehicle Vector
matic vectors. Large scale site vectors lead into and through smaller scale museum program
vectors. The core elements of museum program are the entry, Zephyr ship gallery, auditorium,
                                                                                                       Bike / Pedestrian

the program is laid out according to the core cultural elements and circulation vectors                Development
between. This allows the visitor to see parts of the the ship, the Zephyr and increase their
understanding of it as they through the museum. The ship and hanging mast can only be seen
in their entirety from outside the clerestory windows on the rooftop.

cracking morphology
the form of the museum is created by a cracking surface which is defined by lines between
program, programmatic vectors. the surface folds into and out of the site and opens to
welcome visitors. it folds down for compact spaces and cracks to allow large volumes of spaces
within. the surface reveals form like a piece of draped fabric but crinkles and holds it’s form like
tin foil.

placement
new program is placed in close proximity to the central
volume of the Zephyr gallery.

displacement
separation of the volume dedicated for administration
allows for circulation outside of the building to be framed by
building mass and direct viewing access at ground level.

redistribute
redistributing circulation around the central ship gallery
allows for maximizes viewing of the ship and exhibitions.


connect
displaced volumes can be extended in the form of a ramp to
connect ground level up to occupy roof space and allow
interior circulation to the outside.

Austin Co-Habitation

wrapping history + music
A vacant urban lot in downtown Austin provides space for The Austin Historical Architecture
Association and Recording studios. The adjacent programs are wrapped by common planes but
must maintain separation to address issues of sound and privacy.


surface
Through material continuity wall, floor and ceiling appear as cohesive surfaces. The banding of
material creates a visual bias along the site and creates layered thresholds that are crossed as one
moves through the two programs.


interwoven autonomy
The AHAA and Recording Studios maintain distinct space where needed but the distinction
between the two is blurred from the exterior. As the building wraps toward the back of the site it
allows both programs to share outdoor space for concerts and lectures.

pearl street cycle thru grocers

adjacency: live|work
The intent of the project was to explore the potentials of pairing home life with work life. by
housing both programs within one building, opportunities and challenges address issues of
adjacency. With domestic areas stacked above business, cohesion is maintained by banding
the both programs together with an external “shell” so they appear as one from the exterior
and by maintaining vertical porosity and visual connections.

drive thru reinterpreted
The drive thru dairy began during a time when our culture was extremely car oriented and
made picking up milk and other groceries more convenient by providing full service to the
customer driving through the store. The retail space now housed part of the road, allowing
cars to move through it. The Boulder community is becoming more conscious of car use and
choosing other means of transportation such as walking or riding a bike. As a prototype for
the reinterpreted drive thru diary, the Pearl Street Cycle Thru Grocers promotes bicycles to use
the cycle thru to easily pick up groceries.

module production
Each module was created by cutting and layering sheets of cardboard. As the sheets increase
in depth the module increases in strength and space for displaying items. The pattern was
designed so the module is not identifiable within the overall wall system. The wall appears to
be a random conglomeration of scribbles rather than distinct modules.

With domestic areas stacked above business, cohesion is maintained by banding the both programs together with an external “shell” so they appear as one from the exterior and by maintaining vertical porosity and visual connections. drive thru reinterpreted The drive thru dairy began during a time when our culture was extremely car oriented and made picking up milk and other groceries more convenient by providing full service to the customer driving through the store. The retail space now housed part of the road, allowing cars to move through it. The Boulder community is becoming more conscious of car use and choosing other means of transportation such as walking or riding a bike. As a prototype for the reinterpreted drive thru diary, the Pearl Street Cycle Thru Grocers promotes bicycles to use the cycle thru to easily pick up groceries.
