These mechanisms briefly represent an investigation into the perceptual capabilities of primal space. Spatially precise each mechanism engages a distinct aspect and fundamental component of architecture. The quality of the built environment must be negotiated through these essentials. Fragments of possibility these mechanisms are (x)perience. The proposition for the articulation of distinct experiences in individuated pavilions allows for their specific yet delicate positioning. Each composition assumes an iconography of individual identity relative to the viewer themselves. The experience is orchestrated through the interface with the object: representing and defining a way of seeing and engaging the self and the adjacent terrain. Individually articulated, the delicate pavilions are for watching, reclining, residing, entering, moving, and engaging place.

1- Threshold to Path - Eight linear tendrils accumulate along a single wall plane to offer a selection of experiences. Varying in light quality, length, orientation, and outcome the viewer moves through and around the threshold.

2- Up Down House - Two iconic images of home are perforated with diverse apertures and sectionally inverted relative to one another. Their form and skin provides for a redistribution of ones conventional perception.

3- Icon Image - A billboard house form addresses the visitor’s axial approach. A perforated cube sets behind.

4- Heavy Light Tower - The opaque vertical chamber floats on a nine square columnar grid above the transparent horizontal chamber establishing an inverse weight relationship.

5- 3 Square - Six cubes define a vertical plane of three positive and three negative. Two columnar structures: an ordered nine square and three disordered sculptural pins, elevate the occupiable plane.

6- View Chamber - An articulated shell focuses the potential of the aperture. The diversity of apertures on the exterior skin modulate between light, view, and ventilation. The chamber becomes an ever fleeting effectual experience.

7- Lean 2 - Two boxes - one level with administrative functions and the owner’s residence, the other sloping with the kitchen, laundry, and storage. The two forms shift against each other and the dipping landscape.

8- Lighted Corridor - A linear corridor of light is mediated by diverse roof apertures while the alternating horizontal view windows are masked by striped shields.

9- Land Form - A cultivated rise in the topography ascends to a polished metal pit. One enters through a detached ladder and descends through and organic tube. One arrives in the pit: inorganic and reflective with circular backlit globes. Music sets the mood.

10- Icon Tube - A hovering wood slat tube has a fractured perspective. A cruciform and circle window induce spiritual light forms.

11- Three Densities - Three boxes vary in identity: a heavy opaque concrete box, a metal box with a continuous horizontal ribbon window, and a transparent glass box. Each provide varied levels of environmental publicity, light, and view.

12- Articulated Surface - A hovering and folding plane serves as an elevated surface for sunbathing. The rigid orthogonal topography structurally dances against the undulating natural topography below.

13- Cage Frames - A standard matrix of columns with varying frequencies of horizontal infill allow for a collection of visual densities. Three iconic totems mediate the convergence of the rectilinear chambers.

14- Stair Viewer - An ascending corridor extends the pedestrian path elevating it to a framed oculus.

15- House-Eye - The form of the house is cracked to reveal a continuous ribbon of windows sandwiched between triangle and square. A view funnel directs the experience.

16- Lattice Box - A varying series of shuttered apertures modulate surface, light, depth, and ventilation. Portions of operable skin permit for the responsive articulation of skin through an operable surface.
