The Point Bonita Cinematheque hosts two major public programs - a cinematheque and a gallery for a projection artist. Other programmatic spaces include an outdoor theater, film library, studio, and living quarters for the in-residence artist. The project developed initially from a survey conducted of my peers, which sought to understand what people enjoy and remember about their cinema and gallery experiences, their impressions of the in-residence artist, Anthony McCall, and what they found notable about the site. These surveys inspired verbal descriptions for the project, most notably a desire for hide and reveal, transitions from light to dark, and social interaction.

The Wood Residence is designed for two artists and their patron. It provides studio and living space for the artists and gallery space to display their work. The point of departure was exploring the properties of wood at various scales. The inspiration for this project came from the idea of splintering. The design highlights the linearity of wood grain, acting like a shard at a larger scale, with sharp roofs peeling away from the grain to let in light and allow access to the site. At a smaller scale, wood strips act as louvres on the curtain wall in the courtyard to control views into the semi-private studio space. At the smallest scale, strips of wood act asas a wall detail and wrap from the courtyard into the gallery space, tying the spaces together.

The Corrosion Studio is designed for two in-residence artists. It provides studio and living space for two artists and gallery space to showcase their work. The point of departure was a descriptive and notational mapping of deteriorating manmade objects on the site. The project is designed to respond to the powerful natural forces of the coastal site, and is meant to corrode and deteriorate over time until it becomes another ruin in the landscape.
