Our first memory of space was the jumping off point of this Architecture Studio. Exploration of concepts and space was done primarily through the means of video.

Starting off with jotting down memories of the bunkbed I shared with my older sister as a child, the thesis of my project emerged: Parallel Connectivity. Applying that to the unique program I was assigned, a Zoo for Urban Animals, I created three spatial relationships that would reinforce this thesis.

The basis of this video was a series of postcards my sister sent me during my first semester in gradschool. Overlapping memories of the bunkbed between my sister and I are narrated over the film.

Parallel connectivity is about physically connected spaces and how it influences its occupants not only through their individual spatial experiences but also through how the meaning of that space itself can become the catalyst for the maintenance and existence of human relationships.
