Concept: Void and Fill

  • Parti Diagram
  • Design Process

There is an interesting relationship between solid structures and the voids they create; this particular relationship is what I wanted to explore. In the process of designing, I have created multiple spaces where the three volumes intersect. My design explores space through what is there and what is not.

Sketch with inspiration form Plaza Design: static vs dynamic

 For my plaza, I saw the actions that took place in the space: dynamic movement and static movement.
In creating these forms, I found an interesting relationship with void and fill, and curvature and orthogonal structures.

All of these sketches are explorations of void and fill

CLIFTON PLAZA

A look at redesigning the Clifton residents’ living-room.

When looking at this unique space in Clifton, I had realized it was used as a passage way and a sitting space. These two types of movement-dynamic and static-became my design inspiration. I looked to emphasize the difference between those moving through and those enjoying the view.
