Concept
Systems
The premise of my design stems from my synthesis of prevailing issues which need to be solved. Once the key components of the problem are identified I develop a design language which addresses each of them. In this instance the systems used are addressing issues of water-collection, heating, electrical energy as well as preservation of architectural heritage.
Tectonics
One of the fundamental parts of my design process involves understanding how different parts of an entity are assembled. This model depicts adaptive reuse which participates in the extension of existing infrastructure to further the establishment of new programs on the site. The tectonics involve a truss system which lays on columns on the face of the existing building to carry the additional load of new infrastructural design proposal.
Callibration
Once systems and tectonics are well identified, my process involves understanding how the design language of the project can be calibrated. In other words, I figure out how my design principles can be attributed to different project/site facing very similar circumstances. In this case one can notice I made use of a similar column design to hold new program in blue* on a different building on the same block

Trametes Versicolor Shoe “TURQUOISE"
Derived Turkey Tail Fungus as a typology to be applied for structural design and skin for this shoe. Prompt structure was fairly simple including style, texture, lens, color (Turquoise) + Nike model and fungi jpg

Program + Narrative
This drawing is meant to communicate program allocation 3 dimensionally with an emphasis on the modularity of said program due to design choice.
