Cactus Tower This new structure is composed of 28

Cactus Tower
This new structure is composed of 28 steel pots, each holding sufficient earth for a single, Mexican Fence Post Cactus. Each pot-line is a linear sequence of five cacti, and a new structural truss spanning from one edge of the original steel structure to the other. The pots are compression struts, five per truss, serving as the vertical chords of the five new trusses that compose the garden. The top chord of each new truss is an 8 inch steel “T”, the bottom chord is a steel cable. Each pot is slotted from below, and the depth of each slotted pot varies as a function of the position of each pot in the truss sequence.

What Wall?
Constructed of exactly 1,000 eight-inch blocks, each identical block is modified to fit the varying curvature of the new wall. Three steel windows are inserted within the block wall and modified to take the consequence of the curving surface. The glass is then triangulated to fit within the folded steel edges of the frames.

The Box is lifted on steel legs which lean to form

The Box is lifted on steel legs which lean to form the conference room floor support beams. The beams are positioned as two planes that cross as an X in plan, with a spherical cut-out in the webs of the two beams in order to provide clearance for occupants on the open second floor desk below the Box and above the reception space. The Box appears to roll on a steel sphere.

The Pterodactyl is an office building for an advertising agency atop a parking garage in a complex of new and remodeled buildings in Culver City. The perceived relationship of the two uses from the primary west elevation emphasizes the office building presence and minimizes the visibility of the parking garage.

Umbrella
Seventeen slumped, laminated, over-lapping glass panels, is supported on a frame of steel pipes, and provides a double curving, transparent canopy over an elevated performance venue originally designed for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Each of the seventeen panels is unique, with matching adjacent edges facilitating the panel overlap, and supported by stainless steel z-clips attached to the pipes at each overlapping panel edge.

Vespertine
Culver City, CA
The tower, known as #waffle , maintains its plan shape and size as the vertical tower volume pivots. The curvature of the form is conveyed by the horizontal and vertical steel plate grid that frames the glass enclosure. As the curvature increases, the spacing between plates is decreased to maintain the planar glass panel subdivision. #vespertine
