06 — Emily Lo

There are three types of walls in my project, a curtain wall, then a folding taller wall with openings, then a shorter similar triangular wall, creating a gradient of porosity through layering. Each type of wall creates a different hierarchy which is one of my concepts in space making.

RISD

An art academy that focus on the relationship between walls and the interaction between different walls, creating various spaces that can be public and private. My study is about how paths lead to walls, and walls eventually lead to buildings, and buildings lead to different functions of spaces based on use.

This project emerged through the ambition to generate an engaging space that combine three drastically different characteristic communities surrounding it (Rhode Island Hospital, Community College of Rhode Island, and a Hispanic Neighborhood).
