PROJECT ABSTRACT

This project is a film school in Pier 90, San Francis-

co, and the project is adjacent to the channel in the

harbor. The client is Sofia Coppola, who is a filmmaker

& cinematographer. Her goal is to make a new kind of

school that allows for open investigation and experi-

mentation with the media. The school should be seen

as a core to SF Bay Area events and lead into Cannes,

Sundance, Venice and all worldwide film festivals.

The design process uses the method of deconstruc-

tionism architecture. The first step is to collect the

inspiration from the movie Vertigo by Hitchcock, then,

analyzing some clips and movie ideas to manage the

inspiration. Clip Perspectives become the original

idea as a concept to design some conceptual models.

Second, the photomontage is a product of this pro-

cess to combine a sort of photo documentary cut,

sliced and extension of the site or something simply

seen and documented on the site such as the site

analysis, elements, and conceptual models. Third,

the photomontage provides space potentials and

architecture possibilities, which can transform into

architectural programs and a connection to the site.
