FINAL PRESENTATION

Below is our final presentation for an urban scale proposal in Parana, Argentina.

3D DEVELOPMENT

These latest series of renderings have attempted to incorporate our graphic strategy into three dimensional representation. Each of these "exhibits" attempts to recreate the sensory experience created when immersed in a museum atmosphere. Each exhibit attempts to condense a hyper real condition within a finite space through layering and composition of several 2d representations of 3d space. This style of representation was born out of the biological forms from earlier this semester which were derived from fungal and amphibious precedents. Each species is here shown in its natural environment as opposed to within the indexical vacuum of taxonomy.

Parana Redefined

Landscape cells have now eaten away at the landscape, creating a new system of canals, pools, and islands.

Our Cells responding to a pool condition.



Moving forward we want the landscape cells to establishing a new topographic condition as opposed to latching on to the ground and vaulting the structure and volume cells above the existing landscape.

Nathan and I have been working on using water as an organizing element on the site. Through several water programs we hope to induce a more informed set of design evolution in our cells. Below are images showing how our cells are responding to a canal condition.

Midterm Mayhem- Concert Hall

Here is our concert hall. This represents the connection of Nathan's Landscape Cells and Daniel's Structure and Volume Cells. Nathans Cell's provide the terrain and points of connections for Daniel's structural members and volume cells. The points of connection have evolved to create a system of pilote and pier programs with the concert hall suspended above.

A fly through from our midterm presentation of the Concert Hall Proliferation...






I have worked on developing a rendering aesthetic for the concert hall cells that blur the line between a fabricated and organic aesthetic. Because of the amphibious nature of our formal proposal these renders are attempting to recreate the aesthetic of aquariums and terrariums as hyper-real micro-ecologies.

Midterm Mayhem-Cell Taxonomies

Below are my midterm cell taxonomies. I was focused on developing structure and volume cells that were in the same family of the amphibious protocells from earlier this semester.




The cells developed to create volumes, open air pavilions, and structure.
