para.SITE explores the increasing tension between printed and digital media by placing a flagship gadget store within a library for Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Techtonic and stereonomic massing strategies were explored and combined in the form of subtractive aggregation to create the parasitic effect of the flagship store.The space of the conventional host structure is eroded away, filled by the modular aggregations of the bright and loud gadget showrooms that create a rich sensory and social tension with the library, bookstore, and meeting rooms of the host. The preforated envelope of the building serves to both accentuate the paracitic effect through its parapetric dissolution as well as to reduce the heat gain of its massive facade.

On the ‘mezzanine’ level of the house hangs the catwalks for the space and an area known as “The Nest,” an enlarged catwalk that acts as a lounge for triangle brothers. The flooring of the nest is metal grate to allow visual and acoustical access to the events below in times of recreation. Underneath the nest hangs a “Big Ass Fan” to be used for ventillation in the space, as well as a dropped ceiling of reclaimed wood to act as an acoustic reflector.
When the space is in use as a meeting room or lecture hall, the projector screen will be raised, and wall panels will be lowered out from the wall to create reflection panels, allowing for reflective amplification of the speaker’s voice. Given the small amount of space between the reflection and the audience, reverberation will be minimal, if at all noticible. Absorbtive panels will be fitted not only to the ceiling and rear wall, but also to the north wall, so as to prevent standing waves.

This theater space was designed for the Triangle Fraternity house as part of Greg Luhan’s Fall 2011 third year design studio. Although the primary functions of the space are as an all-chapter meeting room once a week, as a theater in the evenings, and as a lecture hall when presentations by their philanthropy (Habitat for Humanity) or for UK classes need to be given. The space also includes a multitude of other functions, thanks in part to the retractable theater seating, which allows recreational activites such as basketball to take place.

FORMAL/OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS
This design exercise began with an exploration into the typological and topological elements of existing works of architecture. This specific project began with documentation and transformation of the Rolex Learning Center, designed by the Japanese firm SANAA. The banner image above represents one of the early formal transformations.
From these transformations, formal elements and operations were then isolated and recombined in order to achieve a spacial affect phenomenologically similar to the original SANAA building, focusing on the compression of undulating planes combined with a series of transparent punctures through these planes. This was first implemented through a 1000 sqft pavilion, featured on the previous page.
The next iteration of this process was a 100,000 sqft programmed building. Within this complex space, a hybrid program of brewery/greenhouse was selected. Visitors would be able to visit the five greenhouse ‘tubes’ sustained by the wastes of the brewing process.
