Good question. Robot house is about both taking it back to our roots while reimagining how we live as people. Robot house is about shedding our skin and putting on a new layer.&nbsp;The robot is both a new face to an evolution as well as a direct embodiment of the philosophy of robot house Our homes have an incredible impact on everything around us. They shape our own personal lives, they shape the fabric of our neighborhoods and community, and they <img width="1131" height="1198" width_o="1131" height_o="1198" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b297844d1e42284ed7843b09a5d063ad8bdcfad68a90cbd0e438d507e7df890/5.jpg" data-mid="241005658" border="0" data-scale="92" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b297844d1e42284ed7843b09a5d063ad8bdcfad68a90cbd0e438d507e7df890/5.jpg" /> WHAT MAKE A ROBOT HOUSE <img width="1600" height="1117" width_o="1600" height_o="1117" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9595c5bde6d7eba400386d791a76246d770bd31af9ffb5107aa0e958d9bb148e/2.jpg" data-mid="241005655" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9595c5bde6d7eba400386d791a76246d770bd31af9ffb5107aa0e958d9bb148e/2.jpg" /> WHATS BEING MADE HERE? In this scenario, the human acts as the "soul" of the robot in a relationship of symbiosis. The human is responsible for controlling and directing the actions of the robot. This means the robot house must provide some form of interface or control system. A human's thoughts and intentions are part of each home, the human needs for connection, for space, for community, and for privacy are all built in to the robot. Each little detail allowing it to act in accordance with the human's wishes and to give our robot it's missing soul. In turn, the robot provides the human with enhanced capabilities, allowing them to perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible or extremely difficult. The human benefits from the robot's sensors, which provide information about the environment that the human would not be able to perceive otherwise like the health of the surrounding habitat or the needs or the surrounding community. <img width="1117" height="1600" width_o="1117" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/549632aebb17527aa59716febf004b46f7fdbb1e64a16bb117cc01c0c80c6ac2/1.jpg" data-mid="241005654" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/549632aebb17527aa59716febf004b46f7fdbb1e64a16bb117cc01c0c80c6ac2/1.jpg" /> In this relationship, the human is in a way the "brain" of our robot, providing it with direction and purpose, while the robot is the "body," carrying out the human's commands and providing physical support and protection. Overall, the relationship between the human and the robot will be one of mutual dependence and cooperation, with each entity contributing to the overall functioning of this symbiotic&nbsp;system. https://asamaas.com/PORTA-CULTURE Sun, 12 Dec 2021 16:13:21 +0000 asamaas https://asamaas.com/PORTA-CULTURE PORTA CULTUREBy Asa Maas and Kevin Pham&nbsp; Our project is an open air facility for quick stop and go pitstop that equips the local community with the resources and education for proper sanitation. The concept of the design is the layering of different amenities in a radial plan according to each program and their varying degrees of interaction. Quick interactions can be found on the outer layer such as a sanitation station and bike repairing outpost. The open air urinals are located within the middle layer while the core houses the toilets and a designated infant care room. The layering of programs is a solution to minimize foot traffic in the wet rooms and reduce any unnecessary liquid waste in the composting system. <img width="700" height="489" width_o="700" height_o="489" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a92260fca134df823aab32bd2d219a39b2573c7506666bf9b33bc5c48c9e9b18/IMG_0103.GIF" data-mid="127198339" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/a92260fca134df823aab32bd2d219a39b2573c7506666bf9b33bc5c48c9e9b18/IMG_0103.GIF" /> &nbsp;Through careful consideration of th Embarcadero Plaza, which borders downtown, a commercial corridor, art market, major transportation stop, and is place of refuge for many people experiencing homelessness, this facility provides quick and proper sanitation to ensur the well being of all who pass through. The facilitys low power composting systems and lights means it can operate on solar power provided through pv pannels tiled on the curved roof to maximize daily intake within its locality.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1500" width_o="1500" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6cc090fccb04e0e8d555bb74911ea85f0e84be849a94fafeb843fecee4059a2c/map-01.jpg" data-mid="127199417" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6cc090fccb04e0e8d555bb74911ea85f0e84be849a94fafeb843fecee4059a2c/map-01.jpg" /> <img width="2400" height="1000" width_o="2400" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f9555301b04e95e4fbb8588b1b95a8bcc123e9d61ea2805b7399cdf01521bad/SitePlan-.jpg" data-mid="127192536" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f9555301b04e95e4fbb8588b1b95a8bcc123e9d61ea2805b7399cdf01521bad/SitePlan-.jpg" /> By combining the layering of programs with clear and direct paths of travel, people are able to take care of their needs more efficiently with less physical contact. The design also aims to normalize the action of using the restroom while boosting the public’s trust in the space which they are able to easily navigate and use in a clean and safe manner. In addition to providing hygienic necessities, the facility also aims to educate users on the systems employed through reveals of the inner workings such as waste/water and filtration.&nbsp; The marking and descriptions of whats coming in and going out of the facility would allow insights to the impact users have with each use in hopes of reducing excessive waste. <img width="4400" height="1600" width_o="4400" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7ad3d7e421061ff673c153c991852bbeb6b1ca44c1f6b6eb78269d5796572d5/SectionPerspective1.jpg" data-mid="127192535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7ad3d7e421061ff673c153c991852bbeb6b1ca44c1f6b6eb78269d5796572d5/SectionPerspective1.jpg" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="1744" height="1500" width_o="1744" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5165092a72c44198aafa260a497ae134298deb2b650a086354ab7c60395423ff/diagram1-01.jpg" data-mid="127197061" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5165092a72c44198aafa260a497ae134298deb2b650a086354ab7c60395423ff/diagram1-01.jpg" /> <img width="1863" height="1500" width_o="1863" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/28e4fa3425af01a7570147a2cfe5e086a8ca59c9a7c6db54f80da65f8d4395f8/diagram2-02.jpg" data-mid="127197062" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/28e4fa3425af01a7570147a2cfe5e086a8ca59c9a7c6db54f80da65f8d4395f8/diagram2-02.jpg" /> <img width="1536" height="1500" width_o="1536" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/97125309afdd3cac85a2b31a7b2bb5a1a5dc9e22cbbcdd2a57ed8a56b2811b19/diagram3-03.jpg" data-mid="127197063" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/97125309afdd3cac85a2b31a7b2bb5a1a5dc9e22cbbcdd2a57ed8a56b2811b19/diagram3-03.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="2378" height="1300" width_o="2378" height_o="1300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d5b2c7f6ef0dd5c435e5e0c23640adff117909bffeb6cdfd665efd0d45ad61b/plan.jpg" data-mid="127192533" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4d5b2c7f6ef0dd5c435e5e0c23640adff117909bffeb6cdfd665efd0d45ad61b/plan.jpg" /><img width="2378" height="1300" width_o="2378" height_o="1300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b3dd6e1d17712cabf31ff61338587db7284196c0e593ba4e0782426c21cafafe/section.jpg" data-mid="127192534" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b3dd6e1d17712cabf31ff61338587db7284196c0e593ba4e0782426c21cafafe/section.jpg" /> In addition, the facility minimizes water usage through waterless urinals and a filtration system that produces grey wate which goes back into flushing the toilets or watering plants around the plaza.

The goal of this project is to bring the history of the site and the current story of the neighborhood into a productive space that can be utilized for wood research and component manufacturing. Being close to the California College of the Arts campus, as well as in an area rich with other design firms and resources, integrating into the community is a very important piece of this program. <img width="3299" height="1709" width_o="3299" height_o="1709" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/863faad27ecd49f2b466b2cc4586d50ce17637eb00121c82d081292f1f129ef2/location.jpg" data-mid="112769214" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/863faad27ecd49f2b466b2cc4586d50ce17637eb00121c82d081292f1f129ef2/location.jpg" /> <img width="4275" height="2850" width_o="4275" height_o="2850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/936595401ac7aaed5da0a544eb78e62b84eac7be803064843f2d0566478c0667/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-5-1---Elevation-South---West.jpg" data-mid="112122298" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/936595401ac7aaed5da0a544eb78e62b84eac7be803064843f2d0566478c0667/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-5-1---Elevation-South---West.jpg" /> <img width="4275" height="2850" width_o="4275" height_o="2850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/942c1bf732f55fb029a181f5b915cc8a5bf00b525774d6110181811f2263640c/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-3---Elevation-East---Northeast.jpg" data-mid="112122297" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/942c1bf732f55fb029a181f5b915cc8a5bf00b525774d6110181811f2263640c/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-3---Elevation-East---Northeast.jpg" /> Elevations The enclosure system combines a shading structure with the roofs over the primary shop space and openings on the sun-facing side with semi opaque solar cells. These approaches create a gradient of openings that can be seen reflected accross the roofscape with varying degrees of opacities. The louver system that can be seen in elevation, is carried through to enclose the towers, and visually reconnect them with the mass of the building that they have been lifted above. The wooden louvers can be found throughout the ground floor as well, and were chosen for both their shading quality as well as their celebration of the building's materiality. This system is applied to the roofs consistently to create a uniform roof plan, while the elevations independently now reveal a diversity of treatments,with storefronts, louvers, solid walls, and gaps for fresh air, each special treatment teasing out what programs wait inside.&nbsp; <img width="4275" height="2850" width_o="4275" height_o="2850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/28c147196dcb6735a27267c8edbf9ba5c6f41410e3521e2094ae78e1c04c077d/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-2---Section-South---West.jpg" data-mid="112122296" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/28c147196dcb6735a27267c8edbf9ba5c6f41410e3521e2094ae78e1c04c077d/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-2---Section-South---West.jpg" /> <img width="4275" height="2850" width_o="4275" height_o="2850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b677cf4e774cfcd99b72f2df6225613a9128df4b9db3e2facb3e074b53b153c5/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-1---Section-East-1-and-2.jpg" data-mid="112122295" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b677cf4e774cfcd99b72f2df6225613a9128df4b9db3e2facb3e074b53b153c5/TallTimber---Sheet---A-4-4-1---Section-East-1-and-2.jpg" /> Sections The approach to the site focuses on realizing the shop spaces and supporting rooms as the core of the building to be then treated with public interfacing space at the site corners, with short term, long term, and quarantined housing programs then lifted into towers to float over the primary mass of the building.

series of buildings that had been squished or pinched together in various ways to sites that seemed too small. I kept finding more of these spaces, and learned a little about how they had come into being from too many people trying to settle on the hill I was walking after the the cities devastating earthquake. I also learned a little about the anomalous squishes that came to be purely out of spite for a neighbor and a bit of space that was allowed for legal building. The tactic while making these collages was mostly an interrogation of the most squished elements I saw. It started with a squished building, and then a look at what on the façade was encouraging this to happen. Was it a door that looked too narrow? Or some gaudy decoration that wouldn’t have fit without being forced? Was it something I hadn’t considered or encountered yet? Each of these questions left me with a different piece of different buildings. When constructed together in this collage, these elements created an embodiment of the squish. Or at least a set of rules I thought were fit enough to be followed again, and that would bring forward elements that made the precedent houses so interesting. These images below are of the houses I looked at while walking. They were next deconstructed into the collage drawn above. <img width="1509" height="1510" width_o="1509" height_o="1510"

images below were key precedents in creating the desired lighting effect. On the left, the small box of light that contrasts the outside; and on the right, a gentle layering of light from horizon to the forground. <img width="10931" height="3643" width_o="10931" height_o="3643" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7fb59293f4f93a6cb3cc48d463a77b400f77f3b27d6fd10579ac7e13621b5713/Inkedinspo_LI.jpg" data-mid="127433823" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7fb59293f4f93a6cb3cc48d463a77b400f77f3b27d6fd10579ac7e13621b5713/Inkedinspo_LI.jpg" /> Using soft and earthy materials, the approach in the reading room is to break up the light crossing through the space using perferated walls. The light that is let in is then casted to create a layering effect in the space. On the west facing wall, the light box idea is brought into the program as a small outcropped lounge area whose entrance is made with only a small gap facing the approach. When entering the room this embodies itself by becoming just a narrow column of light that faces the entrance, a small clue to the well lit space beyond. <img width="1683" height="1084" width_o="1683" height_o="1084" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f183355fced153229ba6a442655e7b66c4e83939c4651ba05c02d30b1dcf35ba/materials.jpg" data-mid="112845341" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f183355fced153229ba6a442655e7b66c4e83939c4651ba05c02d30b1dcf35ba/materials.jpg" /> <img width="898" height="1178" width_o="898" height_o="1178" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d389366d24f3bebd56f6305c30f0b44f51d5e4fee3d511f6493169a50d689585/wall.jpg" data-mid="112845343" border="0" data-scale="84" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/898/i/d389366d24f3bebd56f6305c30f0b44f51d5e4fee3d511f6493169a50d689585/wall.jpg" /> There are perferations in the wall on the south facing side of the room over the computer desks and tables for reading. This wall is treated with a custom pattern proven in light tests to manage accute control over the lighting for those sitting closest to the wall. The hole’s sizes and locations are optomized by running the seating and task locations, along with their lighting requirments through a short grasshopper script. Each hole is then given an angled approach to block the direct light at eye level. <img width="1589" height="379" width_o="1589" height_o="379" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/775fa105148b05218c79c46e42bffcb6281ec237ac3173372e249e5283614eb2/script.jpg" data-mid="112845342" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/775fa105148b05218c79c46e42bffcb6281ec237ac3173372e249e5283614eb2/script.jpg" /> https://asamaas.com/IRONS-HOUSE Fri, 18 Jun 2021 21:22:49 +0000 asamaas https://asamaas.com/IRONS-HOUSE Location ······· N/APublished ······ Spring 2020Theme&nbsp; ········· Dynamic HomesType&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;······· Residential IRONS HOUSE The folding house project is designed in a study of objects as personalities and their ability to be architectural precedants.

Being a mobile object that has been designed to be both stored and traveled with, as well as really be used, inspired the space to have a similar mobility. The resulting design explore the ability and extent of a space to fold down into a more manageable forms for some activities, while still being able to deploy onto a functional large space for others. https://asamaas.com/BURROW Sat, 19 Jun 2021 00:07:15 +0000 asamaas https://asamaas.com/BURROW Location ······· Oakland,CAPublished ······ Fall 2018Theme&nbsp; ········· Public SpaceType&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;······· Library BURROW The idea behind this library in the heart of Oakland, is to create a space that curates the paths of its various occupants so that their daily routes regularly cross each others during their regular circulation in the building.

In the images depicted, short term residents are shown in blue and long term residents are shown in red. Usually these two populations are typically considered to require different types of living spaces because of the dichotomy in there homeowner status. But by introducing a housing condition that allows the sharing of some amenities (where tube intersect) and privacy of others (sleeping and dressing), the building can in concept create the the common space for the diverse residents and and de-stigmatize alternative living habits.The resident are then connected to the larger community of Chinatown by a single continuous tube from the ground floor to the top of the building.
