Synopsis

Deep Ornament explores the opportunities present in the morphologies of ornamentations as point of departure for the design of architectural conditions. Inherent qualities such as space articulation, components, organization, structure and circulation form the ground for a variety of speculations on spatial conditions. The sensorial and spatial experiences co-notated with the manifold qualities of contemporary, algorithm driven ornaments, from their topological qualities to the distribution of components and patterns forming the structural body, are scrutinized for their architectural qualities and incorporated in a project.

Claudia_final project

The aim of this work was to explore the possibilities that Ornament and Alternative Geometries bring for the creation of informal diagrams, unexpected paths and affective spaces. To pursue this intention, two components were chosen and agglomerated with specifics parameters. The result is a building, which started from a cell, and due to many evolutionary processes, the cell transformed in a curve, then in a surface and then in enclosures. These enclosures are not only the envelope of the building, but also the interior space.

Claudia. "Showroom"

Finally, I can say that I have something that can be called BUILDING. I started with one space and then i decided to duplicate it in order to create the different spaces of the program.

Reproducing the components thousand of time a skin is created, that not only cover the exterior but also define the interior spaces.

Coming soon, plans and sections.
