The
studio’s provocation was a serial study of color
proximities to explored how the spatial and aesthetic
qualities of relational color contributes to a public space and a
generative order. Temporal qualities of site and the archetypes of
columns, platforms and the walls were used to define the edge, limits
and perimeters of framing and ordering pavilions, belvederes,
and pools at the ocean side.

The students are responding to a recent R.F.P. from the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks for a Coastal Cliff and Tidal Pool Community Visitor Center at Wilder's Addition Park in San Pedro.



Work by B.Arch student Cody Carpenter
An assembly of buildings typologies and archetypes as an activated field of edges will challenge the limits of the definitions of archetype and field. Pavilions, Belvederes, and Pools will use their respective logics of perimeter, frame, and occupation to explore a “distancing” of limits and thresholds of a public space in rooms, facades, platforms, and canopies.

Catalog Description
The studio’s goal is to use the color as a driving factor for the spatial and formal generation of both temporal qualities and social scenarios of inhabiting spatial archetypes and material constructions. A serial study of what is defined as color proximities will explore how the spatial and aesthetic qualities color contributes to a public space and a specificity of site.
The site, Wilder’s Addition Park or Wilder’s Annex Point Fermin Park, will provide both vertical and horizontal challenges of building responses to history of place and place making. The park is situated on the California coast in South San Pedro close to the Fort MacArthur Military Museum bunkers and Point Fermin Lighthouse. The project will refigure and reflect ‘intensive and extensive’ forms of building facilitating open systems of socialization, knowledge, and ecological resilience within contemporary culture
