Final exhibition for the Resilient Case Study House studio displaying all physical models, that have been used as a tool for discussion.
Speculative drawing showing existing residential typologies (yellow), current building envelopes for new homes (light pink, above), and a proposal to reduce footprints of buildings, and increase vertical density (pink, center).
Speculative drawing from project Permanent/Impermanent analyzing details of a proposal that is centered around the idea of durability of materials and insurance value.
Study model demonstrating the kit of parts coastal strategy from project On-Tide/On-Time, and the potential change over time that could occur .
In the context of the Spring 2024 studio, we hosted an exhibition to facilitate the conversation on coastal resilience.
Final model from the Jellyfish project exploring how heavy and light elements impact the Surfside domestic ecology. Roofs can be performative surfaces, for water catchment, recreation and energy production. Understories can be advantageous are shaded ground floor spaces that are open for various uses.
