The intention is to create a seamless “floating” luminare-rim that creates a volume of light in the void of its shell, flooding the room with light. The luminare is also an exploration of porosity in a lamp system that is able to better illuminates its surrounding. The context is crucial to the design of the lamp in that it draws from the future-modern style that emphasizes light seamlessly being integrated into objects https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/55679f8ce4b0f0a8f2e42248/1432854430080/Untitled_Panorama1.jpg Miguel Castañeda https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568eb09e4b0b96970e56cae/1432939273808/F12_D5_Kohen_MiguelC_East+End_Site+plan.jpg Miguel Castañeda - Riparian Joint / Exploring the Land/Water Joint Riparian joint exploration is the spatially explicit study of lake Newnan and its wetlands as it interacts with the terrestrial, and human landscapes of the peripheral ecosystem. The spatial study is also intended to determine the effects of pattern on ecosystem processes across temporal and spatial scales. The Intervention addresses the various zones of the land / water joint of the Hydric, Mesic, and Xeric at the service of the pavilion architecture. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/55665308e4b002a393364259/1432769296403/front-01.jpg Miguel Castañeda https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568e4e2e4b0558908fc0cc4/1432937698126/base1.jpg Miguel Castañeda - LANDbank https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568ea9ae4b07fdae6e1fe9f/1432939162114/F11D3-CastanedaM-SmithW-Ruin-Picture3.JPG Miguel Castañeda - Urban Tailor / Restitching the Urban Fabric Beyond the ruination and exploitation of Detroit’s shattered urban network , lays an opportunity to link together the spliced vectors of the ruins and the modernity of the surrounding context. Within the spliced fabric, the quality of ruins gave rise to the diagrammatic spatial construct which envelops the theory of overlapping and blending networks. These networks collide with each other to create a physical reaction which develops inhabitable nodes of revitalization within the ruin context of Park ave. The result of the collided networks was a programmatic link of the existing torn urban network. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568e9ede4b0e416f91d8df7/1432938989291/render+bottom.jpg Miguel Castañeda - NYC Block / Future Block of Manhattan The city of the future is one of an intricate dance, where today’s problems becomes tomorrows theatrical ensemble for addressing culture, economics, demographics, and sociospatial accessibilities. Rather than adding more to the congestion of the block, the proposal aims to create an orderly whole from the already distinctive parts of the city. The individual components symbiotically react within the block creating a self-(socio)sustained environment. As a result, the composition of these parts also promote creation of a 24/7 mix of activities within the block. Within the established and dominant fabric of Manhattan, lays the opportunity to promote new ways of living in urban density that address current problems: Creation of work through mixed-zoning to address unemployment, creation of high intensity common spaces to address sociospatial inequalities, creation of varied housing types that accommodate specifics demographics address lack of varied housing, creation of micro-neighborhoods to address marginal community interaction, creation of public infrastructure within the block to address transportation, and creation of fully-immerse university facility to address multi-use education space. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568ef49e4b0d5c43491bb4d/1432940361516/Photo_interior_3+copy.jpg Miguel Castañeda - Modified Surfaces / Manipulation of the One Dimensional Plane Exploration at the one dimensional level of the desert allows for freedom of formal restrictions. This leads to the process of alternative planar modifications to create space that is interconnected between the two and three dimensional fields. The relationship is carried through weaving planar and spatial components that combine to create place in a desert fabric. The tectonic system create anchors that peal the surface to reveal the space contained. In result, the structure becomes a bodified system that contain, redirect, submerge, and reveal new dimensions in the existing fabric that progress linearly at the service of the architecture. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568ef89e4b06d83cf782ea8/1432940425219/render1_1.jpg Miguel Castañeda - Contested Spaces / Space Between Architecture and the User If the architecture with its living components form a single formal unit, controlled by geometrical principles of design, then what governs the outdoor spaces elsewhere? And what of the structure that no longer functions as intended? This digital exploration attempts to experiment with the extension of the architecture to form structures that are developed into outdoor spaces, governable by the organic growth rather than the geometrical approaches of design. This extension is developed in the root of the “contested space”: the space between the architecture and the user, an extension of the structure which is in limbo between architecture and nature. The digital exploration that allows for antagonistic relationships to react to one another, creating a spatial fill in the contested space. The two forces displacing each other are inversely related and, therefore, work both as attractors and repellents. The main rippling overhead is attracted to the gravitational pull of the ribboned pavilion. This pavilion allows for containment and exploration of the rippled structure by the user, while simultaneously reacting negatively away from it through formal gestures. The result of the exploration resulted in an emergent tertiary system. This system was embodied as a fluctuating light zone. The combination of the two initial interventions created a blend of light effects that bend, penetrate, wash and diffuse in the contested space. This system, unlike the initial two, fluctuates , morphing and adapting dynamically to the adjacent surfaces. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/5568efbfe4b0ffd5dc0141f3/1432940479289/11111.jpg Miguel Castañeda - Stereotomics / Poetics of Making and Revealing The action of making a constructed system follows a process of concealing and revealing contained space. This contained space is the output of various scalar differences, juxtaposed of elements to create a whole from the parts. Initially rooted as similar parts, individual components begin to modify to be at the service of the stereotomic composition that allows for variety of spatial moments. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5564ed63e4b0326c13977cd4/t/556e4b9ce4b099eddb4aeb9b/1433290597850/2015-01-26+04.33.35+1.jpg Miguel Castañeda - © 2015 by MIGUEL CASTAÑEDA.
