FINAL MODEL
INTRODUCTION
This project begins by analyzing the post-1900s architecture drawing by Bernardo Vittone and Guarino Guarini. With the help of the detailed plan drawing, a series of the step-by-step process of creating the drawing can be determined. This project aims to modernize and bring the tools available from post-1900s to modern architecture.

Diagram formed by putting the step-by-step process in Grasshopper
The architectural representation of space is separated into two branches: interior and exterior. In contrast to this, the revolved section and elevation drawing technique used by Guarino Guarini and Bernardo Vittone, architecture is represented as a whole consisting both interior and exterior in a single drawing. In order to achieve this, Guarini and Vittore were paradoxically drawing an incomplete object to develop a complete one.
This project begins with the core idea of this paradox; attempting to combine incompleteness and revolution into forming a specific technique for the simultaneous production of interior and exterior form. As the result, it proposes an architecture in which each interior and exterior surfaces are parts of a larger whole and not bounded by the binary relationship of one within another. Instead, these positions shift and intermingle, producing a whole object composed of disrupted surfaces and incomplete figures.

Program and Circulation Drawing
The program of this project is a Museum of Motorcycle. The whole object is divided into three major individual program, the main exhibition, office/administration and public space. The presentation of both drawing and model are divided according to such segments.
Proceeding from previous method, the interior and exterior objects are decided to be alternating to each other. Each of them is represented using different color; this can be interpreted as different material, surface or transparency of the interior walls. As the result, this method develops interior spaces in between that respond directly to the programs required

Final Study Model
The site is located close to the heart of Los Angeles, at Father Serra Park, which is bounded by Los Angeles Street, Alameda Street and Santa Ana Freeway. On the East side, directly across the site is one of Los Angeles influential historical landmark, the Union Station. The topography condition of the site is higher on the east portion of the site and medium sloping down to the west.
The main entrance of the site is from the intersection between Los Angeles Street and Alameda Street. There is a plaza on this location that correspond to the view of the clock tower of the station and the other entrance is from Los Angeles Street where there is a small public park retaining the original intention of the site.
However, the main entrance of the building is located on the south side since it is both the lowest part of the site and there is are no major construct blocking the light and view.
