The goal of this architectural project was to produce magical architectural effects. The design problem of combining two extremely (even perversely) opposed programs - a high-end brothel and a 24-hour daycare and early learning center - provided unusual relations from which these effects could emerge. Social and potential spatial relationships were studied with a focus on the circulation of sex workers and teachers. This led to the design of the stage that architecture inevitably deals within a 64’ cubic volume. Another premise of this studio was to explore these sets of relational problems by independently designing plans and sections rather than taking cuts from a 3-d model. Thus a primary reference was Adolf Loos’ Raumplan theory, including Josephine Baker’s House and the Müller House.
