MODULAR SHELVING
1.
Sold as six individual pieces and intended for self-assembly, these modular units create 2.
a customized shelving system tailored to the individual. Easy construction and
breakdown allow flexibility for new combinations as required. Geared towards mass
production, each module is laser cut from a template on 3/16” plywood or acrylic.
The double-layering and waterproofing of each piece creates a durable,
low-maintenance design.

Harvesting bricks and CMUs from the demolished buildings and weaving
them into the newly built portions of the Job Support Center, allows for an 1
experimentation of masonry bonding patterns to wrap around the building.
The patterns would exist as an on-site tool for masonry education. Indoor
brick rainscreens allow experimentation with translucency and give privacy 2
to the interior offices. To-scale mock-ups and shadow studies of these
rainscreens were conducted and photographed, shown below. 3
