YUCCA VALLEY APARTMENT
FIRST YEAR
FALL 2020
RENDERING
I have produced a working cluster of parts, aka the whole, in response to the list of programs and site conditions.I made decisions about the building’s orientation and overall location in regards to the existing irremovable plant-life. I then finalized my site response and built the second floor and positioning programs.
The relationship(s) between interiority and exterior was explored.
The formal strategy addressed thickness in relation to opaque, transparent and/ or translucent and account for the extreme temperatures of the site.

ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
The organization of objects will have to be continuous throughout the site and treated as a single building with core(s), circulation, common/private outdoor spaces and other programs as listed below.
The process produced a minimum of 6 and maximum of 8 living/hideout units with at least one of each size in addition to other units to make up the whole.
While developing this scheme, I abided by the following rules my instructors had given.
OBLIQUE 9 ITERATIONS OF MASSINGS
9 three-dimensional variation models in Rhino. Each of the 9 variations has a distinct operative strategy that ties into opaque, translucent and transparent.To accomplish this, I played with the plan diagram three-dimensionally and began using the existing geometries to build volumes in elevation.
- 3 Opaque Masses
- 3 Translucent Masses
- 3 Transparent Masses
