I wrote these over two years ago now, but I always find myself wanting to reference Urban Interiors so I thought I’d post. All photos and sketches are my own.

Reblogging with an additional site analysis looking into the nesting behaviours of birds and their relationship to on site areas. I really enjoyed considering their birds and their needs in this short project.

“Visionary architect and theorist Anne Tyng has designed a gallery-scale model that embodies her thinking about geometry over the last half century. This installation—built largely from Luan plywood—realizes the ambition of all her work: to inhabit geometry. Since the 1950s, when she worked closely with Louis I. Kahn and independently pioneered habitable space-frame architecture, Tyng has applied natural and numeric systems to built forms on all scales, from urban plans to domestic spaces.”

Above is a model built from 3D printed parts I created in my second year that was inspired by architect Anne Tyng. I came to know Anne Tyng through her Inhabiting Geometry exhibition and was particularly interested in a model she created as a proposal of an elementary school during 1949 - 1951 in which the roof (a large space frame) meets the ground on a singular point and is supported by three additional columns.

I started creating triangular space frames but began experimenting with angles, through using a variety of different triangles (as opposed to restricting yourself to equilateral) the space frames began to bend to create natural shelters.

Below are

1. The first handmade draft model (made from coffee stirrers) interacting with the second, 3D printed model.

2. Cardboard concept model of a three space frame structure curating a central commons.

3 - 6. Possible space frame structures.

7. Original “blueprints” used to form handmade model.

The resolution of this project created a seaside pottery studio with a main studio space and smaller, more private alcoves carved out of the space frames. The final image is a section I submitted at the completion of the module. Please excuse my crude understanding of architectural technology which (I hope) has improved since this project.
