M.Arch.1 2010
The first project of the M.Arch.1 studio was to design and plan a dinner and through various modes of documentation, look at how a real-time event could be apprehended into a dynamic architectural event. A series of drawing and models ‘of’ the dinner began to communicate to me that space can be seen more actively than merely an enclosure.
The setting for the dinner was a 130 year old house renovated by William Miller, Cornell’s first AAP graduate. A major actor in the dining room is a bureau that houses artifacts from the Miller’s as well as later occupants.
I interrogated how an event can outlive the perceived boundaries that contain it. I constructed a drawing that unlearns from traditional orthography by manipulating a single point of reference from which an elevation is seen, to create a parallax view. Instead of overhauling the convention of orthographic drawing, I worked within its choreography.
