Informe is process of generating form from rules. Form by itself is nothing more than geometry. The charged space between form and informe contains vectors for complexity and emergence. From each rule imposed on a system of informe are folded forces (forces waiting to spring forth, potential). These forces unravel in the space between form and informe. In this project, tessellation is generative rule. As the form tessellates, emergent patterns within the form result from the push of increased density along the edge where the tessellation occurs. These forces, as they push into the active system cause spatial compression in one dimension and spatial expansion along another as forces are resolved to maintain c1 continuity (tangential continuity).

hybrids are naturally more adpative to its environment due to the sheer number of permutations possible. Genetically bottle-necked concepts are cross-bred across traditional boundaries to generate productive and more fit offsprings.
Skin and Volume
Fall06:01 Skin and Volume are the basic tenents of manifolds, hulls, and forms. In this project, both skin and volume sought dematerialization. The volume is both punctured by the excessive folding of the skin and reaffirmed by the continuity of each strand. In this way, dependancies between skin and volume are intact while questioning the volatility of both.

A conceptual collage, disparate constraints are topologically mapped and networked based on loose relationships. This exploratory device yeilded a consistent conceptual strain of categorization and performance enhancement. By looking to the city for part categorization, the dialectic between facade and park drove at the issue of both reciprocation negation whereby a duality of facades and parks distinguish the categorized and enhanced elements of the building

The question posed by this project was twofold. First, how can one analyze a site using fields? And second, how does one design with this field in mind? The former is an exercise in critical analysis: more precisely, the ability to focus on a systemic framework to infer the inner workings of a system. The conditions of the field were recognized as a matrix of velocity vectors. By representing the velocity as a field, space was parameterized in a consistent single variable condition from which interactions and site conditions can be extracted. The site analysis was used as an empirical analysis model to determine relationships between various modes of transportation: pedestrian, bicycle, car, bus, and train. Focusing on the field interference points, it became apparent that the level or fluidity of the interaction was directly related to velocity. Field interference was generally categorized as homogenous, heterogeneous, and field transfers. The first two are descriptive of interactivity conditions, the last addresses people transferring from one mode of transportation to another. The threshold levels of fluid interaction in heterogeneous systems were catalogued and mapped back to velocity and acceleration to show dependencies. From these systems, methods were created to measure/manipulate velocity in order to promote or hinder fluidity in field interference. Designing within the framework of the field allowed one to design another field on the extant field, or relegate field to analysis only. The analysis, through its empirical rule extractions no longer had a direct spatial relationship to the site, but rather created a kit of tools to implement any design strategy dealing with velocity. Returning to the spatial attributes of the site, the site interference zones offer an opportunity to use the velocity manipulation tools in order to influence or disrupt extant field conditions. In order to mediate velocity, adjustments to extant velocity conditions require that all objects operate on the lowest common denominator. This means that cars must operate at the same velocity as that of pedestrians and so would cars and buses. This would severely cripple the performance of the transportation system. So instead of velocity mediation, a a system of velocity segregation is proposed instead. By understanding the tools for adjusting and measuring velocity, those same tools are now used to isolate velocities and provide a phenomenological or experiential perception of velocity for the objects which operate and activate the architectural mechanisms within the field.
