The aim of this course is to introduce students to the discipline of architecture and to provide a technical, conceptual, and ethical foundation for approaching architectural issues. This studio understands architecture as a collective body of knowledge, a discipline with discrete

techniques, histories, and theories that through their dialogue with one another provide a framework for generating and evaluating architectural work.

Exploded Axonometric Drawing

Plans, Sections, and Built Model

Stairs and moon viewing areas were added to the combined cube to create the final model.

The baby blue colored areas are the moon viewing areas. This color was chosen because it reflected nicely on the white all over the model.

Axonometric Drawings of the Grey Cube, Combined Cube, and the White Cube

Built Model of the Grey Cube, Combined Cube, and the White Cube

The La luna Staircase project started with the understanding of mass and void, using the grey models for exploring straight and linear edges and the white models for exploring curved edges.

Later a grey cube and white cube were combined to create a bigger cube, with no change in geometry, to create a cube with both straight and curved edges
