“MANKIND WAS DIVIDED INTO CAVE DWELLING AGRARIANS AND WANDERING TRIBES OF WARRIORS [...]

THE CAVE DWELLER WAS THE ANCIENT CONSERVATIVE[...] WHO BECAME THE CLIFF DWELLER AND BEGAN TO BUILD CITIES. ESTABLISHMENT WAS HIS. HIS GOD WAS A MURDERER.

HIS SWIFTER, MORE MOBILE BROTHER DEVISED A MORE ADAPTABLEAND ELUSIVE DWELLING PLACE, THE FOLDING TENT. FROM PLACE TO PLACE OVER THE EARTH FOLLOWING THE LAW OF CHANGE, NATURAL LAW TO HIM, HE WENT IN CHANGING SEASONS. AN ADVENTURER. HIS GOD WAS A SPIRIT.”

Frank Lloyd Wright - “The Dissapearing City”

SECTION SCALE 1/2” = 1’-0”

MOTOR HOMES AND THEIR PREDECESORS - THE HORSE PULLED WAGONS, ARE TIGHTLY CONNECTED WITH THE AMERICAN SOCIETY.

THEY WERE ONCE A SYMBOL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURER’S HOME, IN THE QUEST FOR THE WESTERN TERRITORIES.

THE MOTORIZED HOME WAS INTRODUCED TO THE MARKET IN THE EARLY 1930’S, TARGETTING THE CAMPING AND HUNTING AFFICIONADOS.

IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO DISCOVER THIS AFFORDABLE AND CONVENIENT ALTERNATIVE OF LIVING. THOSE WITH TRANSIENT JOBS COULD HAVE A HOME OF THEIR OWN, WHITH THE ABILITY TO MOVE WITH THE SEASONS OR THE EMPLOYMENT. THE MOTOR HOME WILL THUS FOREVER BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW INCOME, OUTSIDE OF MAINSTREAM SOCIETY OCCUPANT. A NEW AMERICAN TYPOLOGY IS FORMED: THE “TRAILER TRASH”.

THE CAVE DWELLER CONSERVATIVE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND OR ACCEPT THE WONDERER AS ITS EQUAL. INSTEAD IT WILL CAST A STIGMA ON THE COMMUNITY SO TIGHTLY CONNECTED TO THE ROAD, TO MOBILITY AND PERSONAL FREEDOM.

THE OUTCAST FEEL PRIVILEDGED TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE SHADOW OF THE WALL. THEY CONTINUOUSLY REINVENT THEIR COMMUNITY, AND ETABLISHING THEIR UTOPIA IS WITHIN REACH. EVERY MOVE IS A NEW SCENARIO, A NEW TRIBE WITHIN THE SAME RULES AS THE PREVIOUS ONE.

Frank Lloyd Wright - “The Disappearing City”

THIS STUDIO HAS A DIFFERENT APPROACH: THE DESIGN DEVELOPS FROM THE INSIDE, STARTING WITH THE HUMAN SCALE APPARATUS, AND DEVELOPING IN THE UNIT, ASSEMBLY AND FINALLY COMPLEX BUILDING.

THE FIRST EXERCISE IS EXPLORING MICRO-LIVING PRECEDENTS.

AFTER DEFINING THE LIVING UNIT, WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE WORK ENVIRONMENTS, AND AS PRECEDENT STUDY, I ANALYZED THE GOOGLE HEADQUARTERS,LOCATED IN MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA.

In 2004 Google undertook a strategic reevaluation of its workplace processes. They held an invited design competition, which Clive Wilkinson Architects won based on their proposal to create a diversified campus environment, integrating highly focused software engineering workspace within a support system of learning, collaboration, recreation, and food facilities.

These accessory functions were strategically placed along a logical “main street” which allowed for the churning of ideas among the community, while the workplaces were located to allow for more concentrated, “head down” activities.

The PARTI is applied at multiple scales: individual scale - work stationgroup scale - space partitions

Through the option of personalizing the space, the user takes ownership of a temporary space, therefore reinforcing the relationship with the establishment, and becoming a repeat customer.

WARNER LARSON, INC.PROJECT ASSISTANT

2010-2012

P.C.-L.A.

EDISON K-8 SCHOOLYARDBRIGHTON, MA

PROGRAMMING

The school faced an increased number of users, after 3 different Brighton schools were merged under it’s roof. The programing phase required the accommodation of multiple programs, for a variety of age groups while still providing parking for the staff.While trying to educate the user to different parking schemes - we showed 3 different program diagrams. Tandem parking is the most efficient way of using the courtyard , and the teachers agreed to this scheme, to serve the best interest of the students.

I was responsible for the drafting of the plans, and the graphic presentation.I was also present at all the client meetings and server as a liaison between the City of Boston representatives the client) , and the School Committee (the user).

I was involved in all the phases of the final design: drafting, graphic representation, construction documents and material selection.

The following page shows the play equipment options. I worked directly with two manufacturers in order to provide two different designs which would accommodate the same number of students and with the same budget.
