THESIS PREPGENERATING DIFFERENCE WITHIN SERIAL MODELS OF MASS PRODUCTIONFall 2015 | ARC 505 | Syracuse, NY
This research collection began with an interest in pumping life and individuality back into the homogenized collection of manufactured urban housing. Under the working thesis: “Seriality can generate differentiation”, a series of existing housing projects were remodeled, or re-mixed, to produce specimens that reflected an increased level
CONTEXT OF FIELD
of user generation and individual articulation. Bottom up design effects were integrated into top down design methods to achieve a realizable middle ground. Techniques deployed ranged from an interchangeable facade system, to a series of methods of stacking existing low rise structures, to a novel system of merging panel
and modular prefabrication, to a disruptive strategy of formal articulation of the individual unit.

IDENTITY By manipulating the placement of modules, the individuals residence’s begin to register on the facade as individual pieces of the composed whole. Further break-ing down the scale and rigidity of theprevious scheme is the development of a system to allow for interchangeable facade panels. Users can choose from a variety
of standard options, or opt to take the panel to a contractor of their choice, including themself in the case of the artist on the 5th �oor.

MY MICRO NY REMODEL
DENSITY�rough stacking of the prefabricated forms on top of each other, this adaptable and formally articulated whole begins to satisfy the requrements of density.
Component columns are appropriately scaled per �oor, however e�enceies are still maintained with �oor, wall, and roof components as the net load does not increase per �oor. Light and air �lter in through the courtards and open air walkways connecting units, One and two story spaces are carved out towards the ex-
terior to create gardens, and the inherent quality of concrete inusltes the structure against sound travel.

THESISRE-EVALUATING PART TO WHOLE TO CREATE A VERNACULAR HIGH RISESpring 2015 | ARC 508 | Seattle, WA
After revising and clarifying the research from thesis-prep, this thesis project began to focus solely on the societal implications of form. Specifically, it aimed to bring the balanced relationship of individual and community, from single family homes, to the housing tower typology. Past formal part-to-whole relationships were analyzed with the intention of modifying them
CONTEXT OF FIELD
to create a new “difficult whole”. A series of critiques of past part-to-whole buildings was generated, including these four variables: formal relationship between part, scale of part, relationship between part, and material and color of part. A matrix of possible permutations was devised to test the possible ratios of each variable.
These efforts hope to generate a new form of high rise housing tower, one that balances the individual and the collective, breaking the seriality of existing towers, and bringing a distinctive architectural identity to each.
