Studio 1B| Natural Tendencies

ARCH 183 | Spring 2019 | WSoA

Instructor: Carmelia Chiang

Located in Sunset Boulevard Hollywood, Los Angeles, Californian in this project the objective was 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. Students had to be able to make connections between materials and

architectural form through the production of architectural models. Diagramming and massing models will serve as the primary medium for translating the pressures of site and program into graphic and spatial fields that organize overall building mass and distribute use. Architectural drawings and a physical model will serve to translate these massing and usages into precise and calibrated architectural form at multiple scales of resolution.
