Thesis Project2020

The Gap

Identifying a gap between BIM's ostensible simulative capacities and material reality, partner Reed Miller and I propose a shift from "design" to "facilitation" in the practice of architecture, where we mine abstracted materials for potential to position an attitude toward the client. We using The Gap as a feigned client to whom we present some flagship stores.
