Building Between the Bubbles
The objective of this is to design a functioning "thick" wall with three different programs based off a precedent, the Prada Store in Tokyo, Japan. It engages the community and pre-existing conditions of the landscapes using a grid that unites programmatic and non-programmatic spaces. The field condition creates direct pathways from programmatic spaces in the wall to entrances of the bake house. Trees are incorporated into the wall to create terrarium areas to provide a contrast from the masses.
​
All five programs are built into the wall. They are enclosed by concave and convex glass windows just like the Prada Store. This allows for all encompassing views of the wall interior and the courtyard. It Pulls visitors in and into the Bake House. The different elements are distinguished by material. The diamond frame is made of steel and encases the concrete walls, while the courtyard is covered in wood and grass.
