Open Source is an intelligent, responsive skyscraper that shifts the main use of the skyscraper from private to public, community-oriented use, while working to protect the open exchange of ideas and knowledge in the face of increasing censorship and surveillance. Like its name, Open Source strives to allow for the flow of unrestrained speech. The beginning of 2014 has brought challenges to internet neutrality, or previous rules that prevented internet companies from blocking or discriminating against certain internet content. A lack of privacy, the threat of censorship and increasing internet restrictions threaten the free flow of ideas and knowledge between community members. Through the use of localized data hosting, Open Source’s flexible skin and its responsive, interactive units, our skyscraper works to preserve the free flow of individual opinions, the open collection of information and uninhibited community interactions.

The “Activated” form appears when heavy censorship is in place and where the only open, unrestricted interactions between individuals occurs within our skyscraper. Open Source compacts itself to tightly interconnect its own free flowing data networks throughout the entire building as it focuses on a collective goal of pushing for freedom of thought and communication. The “activated” compact form also allows for a large public gathering space at the base of the skyscraper as needed.

The “Neutral” form of Open Source appears during times when freedom of thought and open communication is allowed and encouraged throughout a society, and not just within our skyscraper. A focused, interconnected tower is not as necessary when censorship is not an immediate threat and, as a result, our building geometry drifts apart and shifts into various programmatic needs as it is utilized by separate community groups with various goals.

Illegibility and bilateral symmetry are key to the study of in-teriorities within the design of this Hong Kong nightclub. The idea of illegibility is central in developing interior atmospheres and architectural techniques that are not visually linked to a specific existing creature or object. Because of this illegibility, continuously varied readings of the architecture are encour-aged. Through the vagueness of illegibility, experience emerg-es through impulse rather than figuration. Bilateral symmetry, which this project recognizes as a universal, over-arching orga-nizational quality, allows for a sense of attraction and order to be achieved in select precise locations, even when recognition is not achieved as a result of illegibility.

A Hong Kong night club program inherently allows for a break

both in interiorities and in circulation. In this project, night club-specific illegible circulation, as opposed to a direct pro-cession-like circulation, is achieved by situating distinct spaces in a way that allows for a non-sequential range of experiences according to the interpretation and self-navigation of visitors. The use of bilateral symmetry is then implemented to create, when visitors stand in select exact locations, a sudden flicker of unity and brief directionality amongst the otherwise illegi-ble orientation of spaces.

A hyperbolic surface is the opposite of a sphere and grows exponentially in an infinite, constant, negative curvature. This type of surface can be produced by increasing the number of a given unit by the constant ratio of N to N+1 per row. Using the folded paper plate as the initial module, this project utilizes hyperbolic logic to invent a lacy, complex surface form. This project was developed with a partner. Everything was completed collaboratively.
