PoYao SHIH: Through an intense reading of urban context, this project starts with a series of lines that trace urban systems, further considering ways of transforming these vectors through manipulations in wrapping, twisting, and entangling.

Oyler Wu Collaborative: Often the unusual circumstances surrounding the design of a project leads to the most unusual results. In the case of this temporary sales center in Taipei by Oyler Wu Collaborative, the convergence of a set of ongoing architectural interests converged with an unusual site, timeline, program, and developer to create an unexpected outcome.

Oyler Wu Collaborative: Designed and built by the office of Oyler Wu Collaborative along with students of the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Stormcloud is the third project in a series of installations designed for SCI-ARC. The previous two installations, Netscape and Centerstage were designed for the school’s graduation ceremonies in 2011 and 2012 respectively. With SCI-Arc celebrating its 40th anniversary, the school commissioned the new pavilion for the after-party of its April 2013 gala. Tasked with the challenge of revamping the existing Netscape pavilion, Oyler Wu Collaborative saw the project as an opportunity to take a completely different approach to the problem.

Jacques LESEC & Sean MARKLE: Our thesis investigates the perception of figuration and void within acomplex field condition. The strategies we have employed oscillatebetween the 2-D and 3-D as a means of augmenting the legibility ofvolume and other times subverting this perceptual reading.
