memorial day

so apparently the brits have a "bank holiday" today too, not sure why - they have "remembrance day" at a different time of the year . . . . but i guess it just seems a good day to have a holiday, all around the world.

hope its a bit sunnier for all the festivities back in the states . . . things are a quite wet here at studio!

[midTerm]WORK

our project, sited in Ras' al-Khaimah, northeast of Dubai along the coast of the Persian Gulf, explores geometries and variations associated with arabic patterns in an attempt to find contemporary formal, structural, and organizational solutions (using parametric and computational tools) for an architectural and urban proposal that maintains a link to cultural specificity while contending with the rapid globalization of the emerging city. we situate our selected site as a central node to connect three different parts of the city, bridging from seacoast across an inland estuary and toward the desert and mountains.
this work is in an intermediate stage, simply showing a production of process and ideas to be developed for our proposal presentations at the end of Term III, June 30 - July 1.
