Silverlake International High School Prototyping Research

The Silverlake International High School prototype explores the spatial relationship between building volumes and the surrounding landscape, focusing on how architectural form interacts with its environmental context. This research investigates the integration of complex apertures within the building façade, emphasizing how openings influence light, visibility, and spatial flow. The physical modeling clarifies these façade geometries while examining the tectonic conditions of key building details, such as material junctions and structural connections. The study provides insights into both design clarity and construction feasibility, contributing to a deeper understanding of architectural expression and technical precision.
