ON DISPLAY

The thesis aims to explore the layers of display in architectural practice. For digital material, there are layers of different compositions of color, texture, and maps that work together to form the final material. Layering practice works in architecture to produce conditions of opaqueness and transparency. Structure frames connect these layers and create transitional spaces. The layering and the in-between experiment would be carried out to be the guiding system for the culinary school center.

In culinary school, there are some major programs: create, learn, research, cook, eat, live, and waste. The thesis looks at Le Corbusier’s museums as a starting point to explore how a ramp would serve as a sequence for the visitors to experience the whole food growing, processing, eating, and wasting process. The thesis aims to play with ramp and circulation and material layers of transparency to display the complete food cycle.
