Mutable Structure

Problem:: Building and the Mono-Identity...thoughts on urban decay. Both buildings and urban planning are designed for a singular, specific purpose. Buildings' identities typically live long passed their initial engendered function. Thisphenomenon leads to "urban decay" wherein buildings, sites, and urban spaces die leaving behind their decomposing carcasses. The remaining carcass is a void in the cityscape-- a relic awaiting demolition. Decay, demolition, and development promulgate the issue of urbansustainability. How might one begin to address the issue of building/development mono-identity plaguing the traditional city to posit a "new" unstoppable (juggernaut) stereo-identity for the development/creation/birth of the non-city?

Solution:: A shape shifting melange of program, facade, and urban space? Stay tuned...

Bay Bridge Studio

An initial concept drawing reflecting upon the nature or rather anti-nature of the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Dissected then stitched pieces of idyllic human imagery aggregate into a melange of possibility. A palimpsest of non-identity emerges yielding a cybernetic being. How is this non-creation situated in architecture. Or is the humanoid non-creation transcoded to become a urbanoid non-city that is neither here nor there? a mobile stealthiness, cyclical transmogrification, an unstoppable force, a Juggernaut architecture?
