Site Plan: The architecture is a series of interconnecting geometric shapes, linked by a series of angular asymmetric bridges.

Drafts and Concept

 Inspired by my article mashup, I decided to follow a theme of environmental conservation paired with the immediate psychological benefits of ecological diversity and integration. In tutorial class we were asked to draw elevations inspired by section plans, this was the thought process behind my first design, a series of stacked rotating segments:




 I decided to base my final design on these same segments rotated about the vertical axis in hexagonal design, similarly to my draft, however i separated them to create individual pod like structures.

Moving Elements

Moving Elements

The first of my moving elements is am elevator. The elevators are a simple yet key element within my school as the use of air space and elevation require vertical movement in minimal space.The design is hexagonal in shape and move through the trunk like poles supporting the buildings.

The second moving element is the buildings themselves that rotate upon their vertical axis. Due to the large amount of glass used within my construction and unshadowed areas achievable through their height above the ground, I decided to utilize the solar energy to warm and provide light to my architecture. My architectural concept was based upon the environmental impacts of the building industry and the lack of urban environments within the city, and that is what inspired me to make this tree like structure,

36 Custom Textures

From left to right in sets of 6, Linear, Rotational, Scalar, Escalating, Oblivion, Backward. With these textures i aimed to create tillable textures rather than my asymmetric approach in previous projects to really exemplify movement within the space the texture is applied.

Creating greener living environments of trees and branching steel beams disguise this 5-story apartment building in Turin, Italy where they will further develop their concepts for the pathway. Stress is a major threat to human health. Striking, and offbeat designs for planting trees along community streets and in other urban environments could help reduce disease. This natural absorption brings pollution protection to its residents, helping to eliminate harmful gasses caused by cars and harsh sounds from the bustling streets outside combining beautiful, innovative architecture with high functionality, bringing plants up off the ground in an attempt to evade homogeneous urban scene and integrate life into the facade of the residential building.
