How do you design a lighting object that rejects the use of its skin as its diffuser?
Lamp is the final project of Design Studio 1. Here students are given a geometrical shape; Cube, Cylinder, Cone, Sphere and Tetrahedron as well as a lighting action; Diffusion, Reflection or Spotlight and asked to produce a lighting object. In this case Cube and Diffusion were the object and its parameters repectively. Designers were also given strict instructions as to the look and performance of the object. The product had to maintain the inherent language of the geometrical shape, furthermore the surface material could not be used as the diffusing agent.

PROCESS
COMBINE BOTH TYPOLOGIES
ARRANGE INTO LAYERS
Combine the natural diffusion in nature with the linear structure of the cube to create an object that not only provides soft light, but a cube of diffused light.
For best diffusive results, the cube was diesigned with three layers around the light source; the core, outer core and the structural layer.

PUBL IC VOIDMUSEUM OF ST. VINCENT
A museum, being of the city, needs to respond not only to its vernacular but the culture, flows and beat of its people. With that respect, the museum was considered first and foremost an extenton of the city into the space..
The Site is located at the mouth of heritage square, A major activity hub in Kingstown . In response,the design blurs the lines between public and private, giving the ground floor to the people. The lobby doubles as a public display space, with museum services floating above this urban carpet. Linking the two layers is the major circulatory artery, An interpritation of the flows of the people.. the off kilter stair meanders to the views and focal points of the museum and its context. Patrons also experience this blurring of layers on the second floor, where a sky bridge allows the user a heightened experience.

HERRITAGE SQUARE
SITE
St Vincent which was colonized by the English in 1723, is a lush volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea. Its capital, Kingstown, is characterized by the main streets that run parallel to the ocean. Bay Street is the citys connection to the sea, Middle Street; a narrow roadway that is mainly pedestrian exclusive and Back Street; known for its many churches. These streets provide the character and life for Kingstown. The cityscape has seen a cruise ship dock added as a step to modernize Kingstown and St Vincent.
KINGSTOWN
-
.19
Heritage Square is one of the major open nodes of Kingstown and as such, it functions as a major space for activity. Kingstown funnels its pedestrian and vehicular traffic along the 3 major streets and into the wide road ways of the square, which serves as the collector.
Heritage Square accommodates large gatherings under the 12 meter canopy of the trees spread along the southern edge. Informal vending stalls in the square tend to the large crowds that gather during the day.

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF A CONTAINER?
The essence of container is not the structure, in and of itself, but the voids and spaces around it by which it is defined.
The Student Union of the University of Technology, Jamaica acts as the representative body for the all the students of the university. The union coordinates the activities of the student-led societies, as well as organizing social events. The Container Project proposes a new student union activity centre for the university. This student activity centre is to provide amenities for business activities as well as a public space for dining, gatherings and performances.

The site is located at the northern most tip of the university, between the dorm and food facilities. The Barn, as it is affectionately called, is a public enclave that offers a range of activities for the students.
Eating, moving, gathering, being and performing all occur in and around the space during the day. Also, the food facilities - located to the south always draw large crowds into the space. Eating and gathering occur to the east under the shading canopies of the trees. It is during the night that the spaces nature changes, becoming a performance venue for the students during school events and socials.

Container relationships define the spaces around them. All units were designed to frame a void/space (courtyard), extending the contained spaces to the outside space and thus increasing the total useable space. This strategy, as well as overhead vents, promotes, cross ventelation in the spaces. Other natural heat regulation elements include, shading screens, proportioned to the dimensions of the container ends,

Material anatomy, construction and detailing of a staircase are the defining elements of this project. This staircase was designed to highlight the context, material nature and movement through the space and adapts to the strengths of each parameter, along the stages of the journey.
The stair is designed for the main entry hallway of the National HAUS of the Performing Arts, just off the harbour in Nassau, Bahamas. The focus of the stair is the observatory that frames the view to the ocean. The space is meant to isolate, only allowing one or two viewers at a time to admire the dramatic views.

The stair connects the lobby with the mezzanine level space. Along that journey, it is designed to highlight key areas insinde and outsinde of the space.
The steel hollow sections are anchored using tension rods, secured to the roof and east wall.
Mild Steel hollow sections are relatively light, malleable and can be easily formed into a myriad of forms. This allows it to fully capture the skeleton like articulation of the stair.

MATERIAL ERGONOMICS
Mahogany was chosen as the secondary material to give the circulatory elements of the stair a warm, tactile and relatable feel
Touch is very critical to the function of the stair. The mahogany handrail adds yet another element of poetry, both visually - through its grain and colour - and tactually through its easily crafted ergonomics. These elements cast a familiar feel along the entire journey.

Cultural centres are vessels that house and frame a counties essence.
The Nassau Cultural Centre was born out of the search for the citys essence, during the study tour of Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas. This investigation revealed vital aspects of Bahamian life and identity; the environment and its history - rich in Martine traditions. This urban study highlighted unique possibilities for future developments that can enhance the Bahamian identity. The cultural centre articulates its form addressing the future possibilities, layering and framing the essence of the city.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS
The independent commonwealth of the Bahamas is an archipelago of more than 3000 islands stretching from the southern tip of Florida to the northern shore of Haiti. Its capital is Nassau and it is located on the island of New Providence. The Bahamas has branded itself on its pristine oceans, beaches and easy going lifestyle. It developed this brand, by building modern day cruise ship ports, Island Villas and the world famous Atlantis Resort and Hotel.

JONKANOO FEST IVAL PROCESS ION
The site exists at the southern end of Bay Street, in the industrial sector. The area is to be developed into a social hub, with restaurants, retail and villas. Bay Street handles the majority of interactions between the sea, the rest of Downtown Nassau, bustling crowds from the ferry and cruise ship piers. The street is densely clustered with the rich architectural history of the Bahamas and is the starting point of the annual Jonkanoo Festival procession.
A distinct connection can be seen between Bahamian life and the sea
Bay Street Elevation

THE SITE
-
The site is to be used as the final destination of the annual Jonkanoo festival held twice a year. This is one of the only remaining truly traditional aspects of Bahamian culture. Persons dress in lavish costumes and parade along Bay Street. The festival is to meander along the street through the parliamentary axis, culminating at the site.
PROCESS
The Jonkanoo procession moves through the site and over the first layer, the stage. This layer frames the Harbour entry, and uses it as a backdrop.
The theatre is the heart of the scheme, framing the perfoming arts. An introverted space, its form is based on the design principles of the forts.
Final Frame is the Park and Habour pool. This space unifies the scheme, creating an interactive free public space.
The second frame uses the harbor as a backdrop for the dance studio and multipurpose hall. Here, the people are the stars.

The Bahamas is notorious for its sea cuisine. The third layer frames the sea as the source of culinary pride. The floating bar moves horizontally over the water, framing the source of the food and landmarks the centre on the harbour.
The Cultural centre is designed to encourage public interaction on many layers, offering the people a place to rest, play and converse. The essence of the Bahamas is captured in the scheme from the lush parks to swimming in the clear, clean waters of the harbour.

THEATRE
Forts were designed to appear as ships and were oriented to the harbor entry to ward off attacking ships.
The theatre is designed as a central vessel docked in the fulcrum of the site. Precedence for generating the form was taken from the Forts and Ships that are intrinsic to the Island. The ship towers over the other weaving forms of the site, allowing for unrestricted views to the harbour and demarcating the cultural centre in the fabric of the city.
The structural precedence for the theatres form was garnered from Renzo Pianos Parco della Musica Auditorium Rome.
PRECEDENCE

The body of the auditorium imposes itself in the lobby of the theatre. The grandeur is highlighted by its wooden cladding. This hints at the intimacy of the interior which influences the users to enter. Now inside, one is transported into the Caribbean Sea. Floating coral sound reflectors and rich blue scale like walls encapsulate and focus the audience to the stage.

The Nassau Cultural Centre strives to reunite the land (world of the average Bahamian) with the sea (the world of the tourist). Evidence of this duality can be found in the Bahamian political, cultural and economic state. It is counteracted through encounters and dialogue between the two worlds. The scheme fosters and preserves these opportunities of interaction; from the park for recreation to the harbour pool. These interactions are meant to bond the people.
The multipurpose hall and design studio are designed to merge into a single hall with the harbour as the backdrop.

Taking advantage of one of Bahamas natural wonders, their crystal clear waters, we create the last frame. The promenade is extended into the medium creating a wealth of possibilities. This is modeled after the harbour bath project in Denmark, where BIG architects encapsulated an area of the harbour for swimming.
The space is built as a large beam, similar to that of the Morrison and Woodstock and Associates, new medical building at the campus of University of the West Indies, Mona (Jamaica) and REX Architects, Vakko Headquarters, Turkey. The beam is supported by structural steel columns anchored to the ground.
