In this project we were asked to use bricks to create a tectonic wall. We used various transformation techniques to understand how to make a wall become a focal point in a space.

Approach:

Using diferent radius for each row an organic curviture was created to embody the curves of the human body. Also, these curves were made to provide interaction between the human body and the wall.

The initial curve was generated by a circle with 2m radius and another that is 1.8m radius.

Moving upwards along the wall, the radius- increase by 1% to generate new less linear curves.

In this project we were asked to design a bathing space using the previous tectonic wall. Creating a space for napping and meditating using the curves of the wall. Moreover, adding a skylight to provide daylight was added to the ceiling.

In this project we were asked to choose a product to analyse it in relationship to human scale to introduce us to ergonomics.

Approach:

For this project a pipe was chosen and the analysis drawings were done on autocad and rendered using photoshop.

The Shibuya Crossing Tower is a new mixed used high-rise development salted to break ground in 2018. It is located in the heart of the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo, Japan. The client puts sustainability as a high priority. Approach: The approach to this project was to save space by having all the zones hidden within a wall that wraps around the appartment, to access each zone a cabinet can be opened when needed.

The Shibuya Crossing Tower is a new mixed used high-rise development salted to break ground in 2018. It is located in the heart of the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo, Japan. The client puts sustainability as a high priority.

Approach:

The approach to this project was to have an open interactive public space. The pop of color used in the space was chosen according to the psychology of color, since yellow is an energizing color.

The Shibuya Apartments approached us to design a kiosk to advertise for the previously designed apartments.

Approach:

Three linear elements were put together in a way that highlights each project. The materials used for each zone was chosen from the project showed in that space.
