PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
View of Spring Water:
Motion Graphics.
“View of Spring Water” is an environmental installation built using red/white cedar, and 3D printed PETG. The structure reflects the form of a home’s central crossbeam. I chose to focus my thesis on creating sustainable architecture through renewing traditional methods for construction with modern technologies. Ancient Japanese architecture focused on ease of disassembly, standardization, and prefabrication. The two joints used in the work are a simplified dai mochi tsugi joint (台持ち継ぎ) and modified tsuri waku joints (つり づか) using a 3D printed lock. These same joints I designed for the installation could be used to support a 1500lb roof.
With this project I wanted to create practical designs that shift labor away from a commercial market and encourage communal or personal application. The aesthetic goal of the work is to frame nature within an architectural form, while also framing the form as small within the larger natural landscape.
