Exterior Room By folding the faceted envelope up it can create covered exterior rooms punctured with light wells for the people to walk under the building. Folding down urges the building to dig into the earth, and create a ramp up to the “roof” where the terrace can be walked on to enjoy an outdoor playground of peaks and valleys. Faceted, triangulated surfaces allow for a clean, unwarped, measurable surface to be manipulated by pushing and pulling nodes to transform varying spatial experiences into iterative 3D printed models.
Circulation Beginning with circulation without a prior notion of exterior form but with an intention to output the findings as 3D printed models, furthered the design process. With 3D prints consisting of closed volumes, the movement seen as paths and ramps allowed volumes to emerge simultaneously.
