Museum of SteelThis project combined aspects of both production modes; mechan-ical production and digital reproduction. The full scale machines show their physicality with the mass, scale and distance. The re-production of machines, such as the draped wall and projected structures, amplify the message and send it broadly. Eventually, the entire architecture becomes a reproduction of the machines and start informing people.

Katsunori Shigemi Works Project: Animation School Location: San Francisco, CA Term: Winter 2006 Studio: Stephen Phillips, Cal Poly

Animation SchoolThis animation school is designed by investigation of a series of modular unit. I generate several spaces from one modular unit to serve for diferent programs, which are dispersed through the building to create more city-like and free movements and network.

Theater

The new theater hovers over the historic ruin. Underneath of the theater, the ruin revives as an outside theater.

Southpoint VoyageThis art & culture center is re-defining this historic island as an amusement park like structure which provides all ages of people physical and visual contacts with art, culture and history through the experiences of the architecture. Building form and circulation are generated from the unique geographic condition of the site.

I color-coded the cells that have the same angles. Even though all pieces are different, it took only 3 hours to cut the angles. All angles can be generated by pro-gramming in computer based on the users’ body proportion. Changing the angles, any forms can be pos-sible.

This chair was designed in the concept of flexibility. I dimin-ished the frame structures and took the idea of collective form. The components support each other and becomes a whole. They are replaceable, and the chair could be reshaped into any forms.
