CLIENT INPUT FLEX

IN THE MIDST OF A HOUSING CRISIS WHERE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE AT A PREMIUM, THIS NEW WORK FLOW AND BUILDING METHODOLOGY WILL HELP MINIMIZE COSTS AND UTILIZE CLIENTS AS THE POTENTIAL BUILDERS AND DESIGNERS.

LOMA WALK ALLOWS PEOPLE TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS, A SIMPLE ELEMENT OF OUR COMMUNITIES THAT HAS LOST IMPORTANCE WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF FENCES, SUBURBAN PLANS AND HOUSING FACADES CONSISTING OF ONLY GARAGE DOORS. THE PRIMARILY PUBLIC FUNCTIONS OF THE HOUSE OPEN UP TO THE WALKWAY ALLOWING THE RESIDENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SPONTANEOUS INTERACTIONS.

THE HOUSE BECOMES A KIT OF PARTS AND INTRODUCES THE FACIT SYSTEM IN WHICH ALL PRIMARY BUILDING PIECES ARE CUT FROM A CNC MACHINE. AS THE DESIGNS OF THE HOUSES VARY FROM CUSTOMER TO CUSTOMER, A SET PROGRAM WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE THE CUT FILES ELIMINATING WASTED THE CUT FILES ELIMINATING WASTED MATERIAL AND DESIGN TIME.

THE GOAL OF FLEXITTOWN IS NOT TO REINVENT THE HOUSE BUT RATHER ADAPT IT TO THE CURRENT TIMES AND NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. REVERTING BACK TO THE SUCCESSES OF LEVITTOWN, THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON THE IDEA OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE WHILE INCLUDING NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND DIGITAL INTERFACES. CONSTRUCTION PIECES CENTER AROUND THE SCALE OF A HUMAN BODY WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR HEAVY MACHINERY.

THE ARTFORM OF DANCE IN THIS DETERIOATING AREA OF SAN FRANCISCO CAN BECOME A CATALYST FOR GROWTH WHERE SELF EXPRESSION CAN BE HARNESSED RATHER THAN SHUNNED. THE BUILDING ATTEMPTS TO FALL BACK AND DISSOLVE INTO THE CITYSCAPE ALLOWING THE MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES OF PEOPLE TO BE PUT ON DISPLAY IN A SAFE AND EXPRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT.

AT THE 2010 VENICE BIENNALE, MODERN PRIMITIVES BECAME A PLACE FOR CONVERSATION. EVERY PIECE BUILT FIT INTO ONE MASTER CLUSTER, AND WHEN THEY WERE PULLED APART EACH PIECE REVEALED ITS OWN IDENTITY. THE PIECES AND THE SPACES THEY CREATED BECAME AREAS FOR CONVERSATION. AS THE FORMS ALIGNED WITH VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS, SO DID THE INTERACTION.

THE DINOSAUR MUSEUM, LEARNING CENTER AND SOCIAL HOUSING PROJECTS SHOWN BELOW WORK TOGETHER AS A SYSTEM OF RIBBONS THAT CONNECT THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT. EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM HAS ITS OWN PURPOSE BUT RELIES ON THE FUNCTIONS OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT IT.

THE SITE MUSEUM CO-OP ADDRESSES THE CONDITIONS OF THE SITE AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE THAT CURRENTLY RESIDE THERE. THIS CO-OP NOT ONLY PROVIDES THEM WITH SUSTAINABLE WORK BUT ALSO GIVES THEM A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP IN THE MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES THEY PRODUCE. PRIDE AND OWNERSHIP BECOMES THE STRONGEST BOND THE PEOPLE SHARE AS THEY GROW THEIR COMMUNITY.

LOMA WALK CONSISTS OF ELEVEN SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS THAT EVOLVED FROM A STUDY OF DEMOGRAPHICS AND FUTURE GROWTH PATTERNS OF POINT LOMA, CA. THIS DIAGRAM RESULTED IN AN INCREASE OF DENSITY [X5.5].
