- Design and build a jacket using Mao Zedong’s traditional cut - Use a maximum of two materials - Customize the jacket with generative detailing
- Poke all seams outward to reveal structure and provide smooth interior for skin- Minimize weaving patterns yet maximize variation through wire manipulation: stranded vs open, knotted vs. braided, brushed vs. twisted, oxidized vs. untouched- Organize stitch type based on the location of the material on the human body
M A O J A C K E T | C O P P E R W I R E 4,236 feet bare stranded copper wire
Walnut plywood, walnut hardwood, and white chiffon
- Reveal how architecture can increase our awareness of the present moment - Create a visual, haptic and acoustical connection between the individual, the breeze and the breath through the subtle fluttering of the fabric - Determine the height of fabric, contour of base, and width of wooden slats based on human form

- Study the elephant trunk and human spine so biomimicry can inform the design process- Track ambient motion within a space as a means of actuating deliberate move-ments in a group of computer-programmed spines
- Standard wiffle balls and custom-designed laser cut acrylic ‘vertebrae’ are strung together with fishing wire to create a spine- Two stepper motors pull and release the spine- Vary lever arm length, cruciform vertebrae shape and height of spacers to manip-ulate spine-like movement - Selected for ‘Building Site’ exhibition at A+D Museum in Spring 2014

Challenges and Intent- The school sits at the intersection of Glendale and Sunset overpass – a unique moment that breaks the LA grid, as one street splays out from the orthogonal - Thus, the private classroom section splays out from the public social section
- To design an educational facility that respects local context, provides ample social spaces and also private study niches with generous natural lighting - Create an adaptive façade with metal fins that rotate based on sun path, inspired by Ørestad College in Denmark by 3XN Architects
