Radiography
Personal Role: Developed the massing, arrangement scheme, and interior amenities. | Constructed the 3D model for rendering purposes | Generated axonometric diagrams.
Medium: Sketch Up | Rhinoceros | T-Splines | Photoshop | Illustrator | VRay
Main Challenges: 1. Model a lattice structure that flows naturally around the blob model without any surface errors. | 2. Generate and control the panels that cover the library's knowledge "brain/heart".
Unraveling: 1. T-Splines generates a solid that is meshed in a structurally viable (and "modelable") way. Offset each curve into surfaces, then offset such curves into solids. | 2. From the same mesh you can model the panels, and offset them to produce the desired gap between them.

The emplacement of CEREBRUM-21 casts multiple forms of interpretation and design possibilities. An area which is surrounded by a waterfront, a lineal park and the continuity of the urban wall calls for a monumental proposal. Thus the redefinition of what is a center of knowledge is a must. 
Conceptually, CEREBRUM-21 functions as a factory for cognizance buildup whereas the central mass of structure is the source and the surrounding space serves as supplementary program that maintains a balance in production.
Inside the globular structure, the approach for knowledge gain relies on the multiplicity of activity offerings. Said offerings depend on the diversity and dynamism of the surrounding space. Therefore on each of the three levels in the celluloid have a different approach for the buildup and development of knowledge.
