Material Research: Light and Transparency

For my materials research, I’ve decided to expand upon the very quick “micro study” from earlier in the quarter. For that study, I looked at adaptive fritted glass and light studies with origami paper. For this research, I’ve decided to mesh those two into one category which I’m calling “light and transparency”. All these materials […] […]

Diana Al-Hadid lecture February 24, 2011

prologue V site development

This week I looked into the site plan and tried to finalize it. I consider the green space on site is important. Within all the significant paths footprint, I choose the most visible line crossing from southwest to northeast and widen it, which create a green strip vertically to the main pedestrian axis from northwest […] […]
