STUDIO 1B

Instructor: Yi-Hsiu Yeh / Spring 2017 / WOODBURY UNIVERSITY

The relationship of architecture to the body is developed further with an exploration of essential architectural principles as they relate to a fundamental understanding of natural elements and human tendencies. Projects introduce scale, enclosure, architectural elements, spatial expression, and program as form givers.

MAriachi Plaza library

This phase will require students to pick one of their preferred bars and use five of them ti create a formal massing. This massing will be placed on a flat site and will include a 5,000 - 10,000 square foot program of a public library.

Material Exploration

This phase will require students to experiment with materials and a list of actions. Students will select a material and produce four rectangular models, each of which is a combination of action and material.

Material & fabrication Logic

This phase will require students to experiment with different fabrication methods to create transformed variations derived from one of the previous bars.
