Praew Proudwarin Phannachet Project1.3: Fraternal twins

Project 1.3

Fraternal twins

Emerson College LA for biological studies

Thom Mayne

In this phase (Phase3) I had studied about the biological twin building which means

to research or find the identity of the building and bring develop into our design but still

keep the identities design from the architecture of the original building.

As I developed from my toy (the stacking of pieces of the facade),

I bring the feature of the facade and put it into the extended building to show its DNA of Thom mayne's architecture design as a connection. Emerson College LA is like a drama academy. Moreover, programs in a new building are libraries, an exhibition hall, a cafe, workshop,

co-working spaces and a courtyard. Every spaces have designed for specific activities

which provide for the students to study more efficiently and develop other skills.

Providing spaces and equipment for students to make props, costumes and even backdrops

are necessary for a drama school because students could learn in other areas apart part from

acting. Therefore creating an atmosphere to make a more productive and creative are the main

concept of the new building.

The location of a new building is placed next to the original building to

provide more spaces for activities that could happen in the original building.

This means the students do not need to travel to another studio that is not

around this area and shorten their traveling time.

The facade is shown as a connection between the original building and a new building

obviously. The function of the facade is to help with the public area and private area.

Each pieces of the facade can be tilted in different angles to create a closed or opened area

of the building. For example, the facade over the library zone will be tilted more than

the exhibition zone to create privacy. The facade also helps to control the lightenter

the building or even shaded on the building surface,this keeps the temperature inside the

building cooler.

PLAY GIFTS AND MANIPULATIVES Phase2 :Proudwarin Phannachet

PLAY GIFTS AND MANIPULATIVES

DNA : Emerson College Los Angeles

Architect : Morphosis

Location : Los Angeles, United state

From previous phase I had observed the shape, form and surface of the

building. Therefore I take out elements from the architecture to develop

into a toy.

ELEMENTS

I chose transformation of the shape of facade from the inner side of the

building.

CONCEPT

I get the inspiration from a toy called ring tower of Hanoi. A toy which has
different shapes of elements and rearrange along the pole to create a pattern.
Although, the elements are inspired by the facade of the building which
has 17 different shapes. I’ve studied about the shapes and realized that they are
slightly change frome the first shape to the seventeenth therefore I design to
use its shape as the toy’s pieces. I prepare 8 shapes of the spacers
to put between each pieces. Each type of the spacer has diferrent angles and
heights to put in each pole, creating 2D and 3D patterns along each pole.

MODEL

The building model I made is shown the observations of
forms and interconnection between 2 parts of the building.

Material used : Foam and White chipboard

Moreover, for the study model I had tried to simplify the shape
of the elements into one shape and use pieces of the spacer to
separate them apart.

Material used : MDF board, Wood stick,
Chipboard, Aluminium spacer.

The final model, I bring back all 17 shapes of the elements because
I would like to study how the shapes of each are transformed
and create a shape on the surface of the facade. Also, they could create
shadow on the ground.

Material used : White chipboard, Wood stick,
Straw, Pipe, MDF board
