Double Take - A House For Twins

A dwelling was to be designed to house a pair of conjoined twins. The separation of the twins through surgery became the primary concept. A relationship between the process of casting and the various surgieres conjoined twins undergo was explored.The !nal design for the house incorporates use of the casts and formwork to create a recon!gurable enviorn-ment for the twins in two distinct states.

Research revealed surgeries that could be applied to structural elements of the house.

Bone elongation invlolves a series of breaking bones and pinning them in place

A similar procedure was applied to the bedroom to create sleeping spaces and to the

The logic of the sliding and recombining portrions of program and structure of the dwelling follow the same logic as the surgery of the twins’ seperation

Fort NiagaraA new visitors center for Fort Niagara was placed within the watch tower. The initial documentation of the fort focused on the structural members of the tower and the winding circulation sequence towards the roof.The new visitors center consists of an extrusion of the original structural elements to create an inhabitable facade that wraps the tower and augments views form the tower to the rest of the fort. This extrusion is preformed to make room for the new visitor center program within the tower core and retain the circulation path of the ancient tower.

Geneology Describing Thesis:

This project focuses on the position of the sphere and its system of division in relationship to the site. Each system is suited to a speci!c program/site. The projection of these radial and horizontal systems of division creates spherical shells, overlapping spaces, and undulating pathways. Ambiguity between interior/exterior is a result. These spaces are controlled by the projections’ rays, which generate circulation, program, and light. The intersection of these systems acts as a membrane between the various programs.

Patterns

A weave of fabric was scanned and ana-lyzed and translated into a spatial con-struction that works with relationships and construction methods found within the original pattern.These constructions were then trans-formed to control water, light, and air.The project became a hybrid program aquarium/habitat. The building is sited on manmade wall on the Niagara River, the site of a historical power station. The monumental scale pipes and infra-structure are interwoven into the program and form of the swells.The habitats are housed within the swells that pull away from the cli" wall, while the the wall itself acts as a datum between observation decks, which are contained within the wall, and these exhibits suspended over the river.

Evolutionary SystemsLaboratoriesThese laboratries function as giant singular experi-ments that funnel pedestrian, lightrail, and extensive campus tra#c within them as subject of observation for behavioral science.

They contain Vivariums which, house insects, fauna, and microbes, that attract this public circulation.

They begin to branch out into Bu"alo, and the Medical campus to connect to high circulation areas using a set of rules based on L SYSTEM growth.

Within the laboratories a department of scientists observe the animals within the vivariums, while a second department discreetly oserves the public circulation from the alien cloud roof passing through the building

The sight of a camera as a sensing organ creates a sensation of paranoia in the surveyed subject. The possibility of a sentient being watching and measuring one's presence instills a sense of vulnerability and invasion. The camera itself is a manifestation of paranoia at its core. The very act of always watching and recording is inherent.

Possible disorders and extreme human behav-iors that could be transfered and exhibited by a machine vision system stem from social and nuerological disorders. Interesting and varied responses to the subjects and enviornment could occur if the system were to exhibit symptoms of social anxiety disorder or schizophrenia. These disorders could manifest themselves as simply as the camera acting shy to intense human contact, or they could become extreme and destructive, such as self termination or loss of perception of reality.

Using Aspect Ratio, Movement, and Color Filtering the paranoid system constantly watches the entrances to the house. It keeps tracks of the current occupancy and responds by tracking the movement with lights, shutters, and the door locks.The sensitivity and degree of these responses is controlled by a set of behaviors that are more easily aggravated than others.The house preceives subjects on the exterior like a standard security system, but also looks inward to watch movement and size of the subject as it passes through the house.
