Some quick sketches of a theater concept for the Lyceum competition. I'm probably screwing myself with these historicized forms, but I think I'm bound to learn something from exploring them.

Abuja, Nigeria is a planned capital city, though only a portion of the plan has been implemented. The commercial/government center has adhered to the plan, but it's flanked by bizarrely western looking suburban sprawl (at least from aerial photographs).

My second parti was intended to be an urban response...a bar-void-bar scheme. The bars consist of program linked to courtyards. The voids become pedestrian streets.

Also, billions of bricks.

We're participating in the Lyceum Competition this semester. The project is to design an International Community Center (whatever the hell that means) for Abuja, Nigeria.

This was one of a pair of initial Partis that I developed. I didn't proceed with this one for a couple of reasons...not so interesting in plan and it's maybe not the most rational of ideas.

The general idea is the ground is pulled back to reveal space. Light is admitted through manipulation of a thin waffle slab concrete structure. The large mast and cable system helps. I was sure the whole mast thing was ridiculous, but after looking at some of Calatrava's work, I'm not so sure.

A study (and I use the word lightly) of the response of brick to the harsh sun of the near-equatorial climate of Abuja, Nigeria. I'm also rather interested in the layering of structure...buildings within buildings, which isn't really expressed here very well.

An old bycicle, set aside in a corner by the entrance to Ogungbe Beach, in Nigeria. I do not know how long it may have sat there -being by the beach it might rot in a few months-, but this corner spoke of old times and decadency in an inimitable way.
