Location: Downtown LosAngles S. Hill St and W. 4th StSite: Bunker Hill is a significant landmark for downtown Los Angeles. It con-nects people from different ethnic backgrounds and social levels. The site is linked by the market and California Plaza. Site also acts as a hub for commut-ers, linking an underground rail sytem to above ground bus routes. California Plaza is located at the top of Bunker Hill and overlooks the site. The skyscrap-ers and Californa Plaza at the top of the hill are predominatly used by middle upperclass workers, and the market at the bottom of the hill is prodominatly used by lower class workers and immigrants. Part of the goal of this project is to link the two sites and create a reason for the different communities to interact.

Objective: Reintroduce the community to the chamber orchestra and reinvent the relationship between the community and the orchesra, and en-hance this relationship through architecture.

External Reference: As an external reference, an acoustic musical instrument was required, in order to embody the spirit of the chamber or-chestra, as well as to teach the students about the type of music that would be performed. The study of the instrument should investigate how it creates sound through its form, components and use, and how these principles can be related to the site.

proCess of CreAting mAntA minimAl surfACe oBJeCt from originAl minimAl surfACe.

The original minimal construction object is used to create the walls of the house by using it as a modular element on dierent scales.

For the lowest oor a single unit is used for each wall. The unit is streached in one direction to become the length of the wall and the width of the unit is halfed to allow walking space inside the room.

In the middle level the cubes dimensions stay in their original porportions for the length, and two reected units are used for each wall.The width of the units on this level are also halved to allow for more room on the interior.

On the uppermost oor a block of eight units creates the long walls, with the units stacked in two rows of four on top of eachother. Each of the units is reexted to create the others. On this level the original width of the units is kept to provide varialtion in the interior experience.
