The vertical study was an exercise in which I had to work within set guidelines while still developing concepts in architecture. The project was to facilitate circulation within a box-like exterior, which could only be manipulated as much as I could be pushed in or out. My project's facade was a system of juxtaposing slots and push ins which highlighted interior spaces from the outside. The circulation system is facilitated by the carved massing within, which are composed of large steps for people to climb up onto. The stick system, which represents structure, is completely hidden by the facade, making the building seem lighter than it actually is. The final result was an interconnected system of architectural concepts that worked together to create vertical circulation. Drawings done in Adobe Illustrator.
