Julienne Culinary Academy _ Site Response, Program Pieces
Octavia & Market St., San Francisco
The arcing lanes of Highway 101 are resolved in four walls that follow the inferred trajectory of traffic. The circulation of the building follows this “Julienne” responding to the crosscut program with various modality: ramps to access dorms and teaching facilities, an escalator to the hotel, and a thoroughfare following the existing grade of the site from Market St. to Haight St., allowing multiple points of entry to tiered theater seating. The escalator moves through an irregular ovoid space. This “pit” provides dynamic interior circulation and unexpected sight-lines through the entire structure. The existing topography is inverted and interlaced with the building as a turf path starting from grade at Haight St., cutting through the dorms, and providing outdoor access to the hotel rooms on the fifth floor. This inversion is registered on the exterior with a cross-phased louver scheme indexing the interior landscape.

Thesis Project Abstract
Architecture is not an atemporal picture, but it is deactivated by habitual use. The work of eliason and Koolhaas seen through the lens of Eisenstein argues for an activated criticality in and with time, where the image becomes a secondary index to a designed mediation. Cinematic montage allows the viewer to become at once closer and more detached, at its best it facilitates a passive criticality. Cinemathequetonic montage can take this criticality a step further by splicing the self into the scene.
