SECOND YEAR (2021-2022)
Spring Studio - Design
Spring Structures
By experimenting with different materials and methods in groups of four, we were able to use plaster and fabric to create catenary curves. We placed wooden columns under a sheet of fabric to make points of tension. Depending on the height of each column, vaults of different sizes are produced and create an interesting space when turned upside down. Then, we casted the fabric in plaster; after drying, the structure is strong enough to stand on itself without the columns. The final piece is placed on a mirrored base to exaggerate the vaults through its own reflection.
Spring Environments
Fall Studio - Design
Using the concept of an exquisite corpse, we designed a hostel consisting of three different typologies studied in the beginning of the semester: public hall, public void, and public bath-house.
