A parasite architecture on ArtCenter College of Design.

Spring 2018, 5 weeks

(This was done before I applied to ArtCenter.)

 
 

parasite architecture

(prompt)

Design a parasite architecture for 2-4 urban researches on ACCD Hillside campus to create an impact to the host building. By using the same structure system as the host building, but opening up the interior space, I opposed the separated programs of the Hillside campus. Besides, I enabled the researchers to see Pasadena city against the isolated location of the campus.

To really understand the site, I did a campus visit to deeply understand the program and plans of the architecture.
