Playing around with the Lazo shapes and structures, I pursued the idea of using a lazo structure as a base structure of a bigger system... How big? well..as big as you can get in architecture..housing buildings and maybe even high rise housing buildings.
The Lazo structure is used as a structural sustain for the housing units. The housing units are duplexes that are arranged like a Ying-Yang System.
This house is inspired in the Ribbon House VI. It has a realistic program and layout. The idea was to bring the huge loft the Ribbon House VI was, to a more precise and buildable stance, usable by a family of 4.
This House (we can call it the Ribbon House VI.5) has a typical layout for a 3 bedroom house and nice terraces to the views beyond.
The structure is a concrete structure with concrete slabs and columns.
A better name for this house would probably be the "Worm House". Nevertheless it is still a part of the Ribbon Series.
This House is born out of a functional livable tube that ramps up to end cantilevering above the swimming pool and toward the view of the "presumably" beautiful forest.
All functions of the house are housed within the square section of the "worm".
This project was a fun project still dwelling on the Ribbon Theme. This time the ribbon is just an open fluid ribbon. The ribbon(s) are created out of cutting parallel equal pieces out of a main wrapping surface. These pieces are then displaced or shifted to create a big open space for the convention center.
The offices and administration spaces are housed in a tube shaped (sort of) enclosure.
