M.S. in Architectural Technologies '22
Spring Studio instructed by M. Casey Rehm
This project is set up as a case study for adaptive reuse in deteriorating urban environments. It aims to analyze material deformation, simulate performative agency, and explore the technologic lens as a platform for emerging aesthetic context. Primarily focusing on façade assemblies, the study explores digital implementation into the design and fabrication of complex forms and material assemblies.
One of the primary functions of exploring renovation and
building augmentation was to challenge existing fabrication methods and explore alternative
methods of modeling and constructng complex form. The study above simulates 3D printed
ceramic assemblies conjoined with casted masonry units, wrapping a steel framing system.
Using AI-generated imagery through text prompts that describe building augmentations; formal structures and assemblies were procedurally designed to introduce a
complimentary language of material expression into to the facade. Additionally, the use of color delineates the spaces that interact with the exterior facade as a programmatic introduction
