SITE & PLAN
CONDITION AND
NEIGHBOR (15‘ FT. DROP)
On the earthen hillside
bordering a set of stairs leading
to Marston Avenue and
neighboring the courtyard
adjacent to Batmale Hall 245,
our project is site specific where
the steepest part of the hill is
situated.
SITE & PLAN
NATURE AND
VIEW
Our selected site is predominately
characterized by the natural world.
Trailing North-East is an upward climb
toward the hill pinnacle facing a forestry
backdrop alongside Marston Avenue.
Within its boundaries the site composed
of earth topped with organic mulch and
three tall trees with their roots and
branches outspread.
SITE & PLAN
PROJECT’S EARLY STAGES:
Series of abstract iterations conveying our team’s and each
individual’s ideas for our site location.
ENVISION & DESIGN
INSPIRATION & CONCEPT

Concept:
The concept behind our installation is a story of us, community college student who’s taking on the challenges of
architectural design studio 1 of fall 2012. We were expected to explore and practice architectural design as a sculptural
biography throughout the semester. Assignments of designing and creating abstract models were generated in high volume
through the iteration process.
Architecture design studio 1 challenges us as we embark on its journey and everyone experiencing our installation can feel
that challenge in some physical way as we set–in–place a gateway through the steepest part of the slope of the entire
hillside. It’s a metaphor of the experiences that we all had in studio 1 which are struggling to depict abstract ideas from an
emotion or feeling, pushing to design responsively, and striving to present effectively with a design language.
Studio 1 challenges us but once we overcome these hardship, whether it’s 100% or 75% here is what we hope that you will
gain in physical terms. We are turning our emotions, feelings, experiences of learning and challenges of learning into
physical qualities (interpreting and translating these intangible ideas into physicality).
Inspiration:
Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine, Kyoto, Japan inspired us to create a gateway through a series of arches. The array of arches
that are organized by these gates create predominantly a one point perspective and for that we’re drawn linearly into it. We
do have opportunities but they’re only in which that we can stop and look to the left and to the right in which the world
outside of the gates, the public realm and the realm of nature becomes revealed but only revealed as glimpses between our
structure. In the gap portion of those gates, the user has to complete the other missing part of the gate in their mind’s eye,
and in the process what is really there in the gaps are the views beyond that are now part of the structure.
Journey:
We repeated in a repetitive array using multiple gates in order to form a notion of entryway at the bottom of the hill leading
you up the hill through them. In essence, you’re like a croquet ball finding its way through the hoops. The first arch of the
pathway is the widest arch marks an entry point to our installation as how Studio 1 welcomes us at the beginning of the
semester. As you go up the hill they give an optical illusion that the hillside is not as steep as it is because we have with each
a perception of it getting shorter and shorter. In relation to the experience of Studio 1, it’s harder than it looks.
Next we reach a plateau, in relation to Studio 1, this is when we acquired our
foundational learning and know what it is about, now is the challenge of using it. Going
from steep to flat and trekking toward the space between three tall trees, the cocoon. the
three trunks formed the perimeter while their branches formed a canopy overhead. We’ve
altered it and made it more intimate, hence the cocoon such that of a butterfly.
metaphorically relating to Studio 1, towards the end of the semester we start to feel
more comfortable and welcome to this discipline that was so unfamiliar and startled us at
the beginning, now it feels like the place that we can nurture and continue to transform
into the butterfly.
