JUMP CUT

COURSE: CORE I Studio

TERM: GSD Fall 2021

INSTRUCTOR: Elle Gerdeman

Jump Cut proposes a multi-purpose community space defined by a cruciform plan and four distinct typological facades. This project begins with the notion that architectural type is primarily signified through façade, and that type operates as a programmatic signifier and spatial organizer. Each façade draws on the visual language of two archetypal architectural typologies: the domestic gable and the industrial shed. Yet this intervention subverts typological expectations about usage and spatial organization through the melding of public and private program within. Thus “type” remains a façade condition, and does not describe the logic of the interior. The confluence of the gable and shed roof forms within the center of the cruciform create distinct spatial and experiential conditions, producing entirely new, hybrid, types.
