Boathouse



F ‘22

This project is about creating and following a flow of energy througout a system. The boathouse has been designed through intial research on tsunamis, water molecules in wave motions, and the general understanding of circular orbital motion and how it creates a flow of energy through the waves. Study models were created that demonstrated energy flow - that became a matrix of skin and bones, or zig zag surface with extending lines to create interior walls, beams, or dividers of space. Many iterations were created of the zig zag unit, playing with openings, overlapping, shifting, and elevating. These units, in juncture with the extended lines, have laid out program for the boathouse. The circulation through the spaces also follow a flow of energy as one flows through the space.
