A campus planning proposal on one of the last remaining parcels of ocean-front real estate in La Jolla, the project anticipates new planning methodologies that prioritize the notion of context over the notion of the object.
Building zoning is prioritized vertically rather than horizontally. A study in the notion of ‘precinct’ the project’s structural methodology seeks to reveal the complex inter-relationships of spatial determinants rather than simply defining space for use. In this way, structure becomes a tool for spatial analysis, inter-twining it’s revelations into the buildings’ own spatial configurations.
The topic of Genetic and Biotechnological Engineer design are ethically loaded subject matters - therefore, it becomes incumbent that the architecture not only suggest, but actually facilitate an broader calculus of ethical consideration is paramount in these advanced sciences. A method of connecting program sectionally as well as planimetrically creates a system of communal ‘checks and balances’, making sure each branch of research is both influenced and vetted by another. Wonderfully, this active form of cross-pollination, herein akin to a liturgy, mirrors the best methods of inter-disciplinary education within the modern sciences.
