Omer Arbel Office OAO !
May 27, 2012 To Whom It May Concern, Scott Wright worked at our office from March 1 to May 11, 2012. In that time, he was involved in a number of projects:
1. Creating 3D modeling studies and a large scale physical conceptual model for a sculptural retaining wall system involving modular concrete masonry units organized in a pentagonal geometry.
2. Creating 3D modeling studies for an immersive planted lighting installation for a restaurant interior project in Vancouver, and then
extrapolating shop drawings from the 3D model from which the components could be fabricated by our sister manufacturing company Bocci (www.bocci.ca). The restaurant is under construction at the moment.
3. View studies for a renovation of a classic 1950’s modernist house in Guilford, Connecticut.
In all these tasks, Scott was an intelligent, hard working, curious, technically rigorous and creative collaborator. Not only did he execute his work in a conscientious and organized manner – he also contributed to the creative discussion as a collaborator. Scott has a great intuitive sense of composition (tending towards the complex), and very strong 3D modeling skills. He works quite well in a team environment. I would recommend him wholeheartedly for whatever position in the world of design he feels would fit him best. Please feel free to contact me to discuss further. Yours Sincerely,
Omer Arbel

Academic Project ONE
Center for Children and Seniors - Come visit the new SESC in Luz, Sao Paulo. Children: daycare, discovery zone, crafts. Seniors: health services, library, cafe, learning & craft center. The two groups occupy the same space however their respective zones do not cross. They are always interacting over a varying gap: from void to wall. Software Used: Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCad

Academic Project TWO
The organization of this airport for Katowice, Poland, allows for easy expansion if further growth is necessary as the large modules can be endlessly placed next to each other. A mountainous interior city contrasts the sweeping exterior shell that encases it. Software Used: Rhino, SketchUp, Revit

Academic Project THREE
Student Village (Pittsburg, KS)
University of Kansasw/ Prof. Carswell
Pittsburg State University needs a new dorm complex for its growing student popu-lation. This Student Village is designed to house all types of students in all years of their study. While the dorms are designed around the year level of the occupant, allowing greater mixing of common concerns there is a plethora of cross-year com-munity areas where knowledge & experience can be exchanged. Software Used: Revit, SketchUp, AutoCad

Office Project ONE
The Display System was designed for a growing lingerie company and is meant to be ordered with merchanise to establish an image for the company and its product. Any number of units can be combined to create either a wall, island or small room diplay. Software Used: Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCad

Drawings and Graphics
Architects do not build, they draw. Therefore the translation from drawing to building might be problematic at least under conditions of innovation. Architecture as a design discipline that is distinguished from the physical act of building constitutes itself on the basis of drawing. The discipline of architecture emerges and separates from the craft of construction through the systematic differentiation of the drawing as tool and domain of expertise outside (and in advance) of the material process of construction. -Patrik Schumacher

Office Project THREE
Retaining Wall, Restaurant & Vacation Home (Vancouver; Guilford)Omer Arbel Officew/ Omer Arbel & Mark Dennis
A retaining and landscape system. The site is on a the side of a steep hill, sloping down to a small river. The system is intended to cover much of the site morphing from retaining wall to street to curb to front yard. There are a set of eleven pieces ranging from flat to 45deg. to create the desired run.Software Used: Rhino & Grasshopper
Office Project TWO
I was involved in the preliminary studies for this renovation and ad-dition to a house in the English countryside. Analysis was done on the surrounding land & old interior. Through this an altered tempo-ral timeline was developed for the house which caused a new flow within/out the home .Software Used: Vectorworks, Rhino, Grasshopper

Academic Project THREE
Nearly the first project I completed using a computer and definitely the first using Revit. The project was an immense growing experience both in the digital knowledge gain but also in the physical/model design phase that it unleashed. A project that showed me the benefits of using BIM softwate as well as the benefits of design through model building.Software Used: Revit

Academic Project FOUR
This Country House is for recovery; to rejuvenate from the stress of city life. Here on the top of your private hill is the rolling house that begins to unfurl itself as it glides or struggles down the hill’s southern slope. Starting at the summit with its public living and kitchen areas on moves further down into more intimate areas such as the guest room and primary bedroom.Software Used: Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCad, Ecotect

Model Study>for SESC
This section shows a sampling of a series of models I created while designing the SESC Project in Sao Paulo. As well it stands as an example of a typical model design process while working through the problems of a particular project. For this series, the idea researched was exfoliation or the flaking of a surface. Most of the models featured are created from a single sheet of material that is wrapped on itselfs and exploded inwards to create the interior spatial divisions.

TECHNO - (SCI-FI) - PLAY [CONCLUSION]
The encounter with new technologies and their resultant architecture and cities is the main issue confronting the play- ers in the sci-fi worlds discussed. The escape from an ever increasing and invading interface between humans and technic-buildings is the impetus that drives the action and rebellion that takes place in Play Time, Logan’s Run and The Matrix Trilogy. In a sense it is the struggle of Singularity: the moment when technology moves and innovates so exponentially quick that the only way for humans to grasp the advance of new tech is to become part of it or cyber- netic (Kurzweil). Whether that means to become mobile cybernetic beings or architecturally encased appendages of a new urbanism is yet to be seen. The three films show a spectrum between these new encounters with constructed technology. The encounter with Singularity is about humanity clinging to a sense of self alone and their need for an escape from this controlling interface with technology. A new mastery requires new sacrifices of past ideas and a re- establishment of how one is defined as a self when the connection and awareness, not only between persons grows, but also between new technologies and architecture. The self is still and should remain relevant. The sci-fi worlds that were reviewed are not utopian visions, not only because of the authoritarian regime imposed by the tech, it is also because of the loss of self-determination and the growth of mindlessness or overmind-ness of a population that finds itself in an overly controllling sci-fi building or city. Singularity is not something to be feared and while the films do show dystopian visions of the future they also show many advances that the contemporary world could benefit from. In the films and literature reviewed what is important is the reclaiming of the individual in the face of a ceaselessly enhancing functional and technological world. At some point, people must unplug and new truths be found.
