Full Circle

Using techniques of collage and superimposition, Full Circle is characterized as an uncanny cultural center, where forms, programs, and styles collide, encircle, and cross one another. In form, Full Circle is composed of three circular letters - an O, C, and J - that when placed on top of one another, merge to create a cyclical loop with two points of intersection, where museum and library cross one another. The building is wrapped with a cozy, composed of a collage of styles, that interacts with the interior aesthetics of each individual program.

The theater is a collective, extroverted program and thus takes its cues from the exterior and adapts to the cozy. The library, an individual, introverted program, is unyielding and clashes with the exterior in a conflicting conversation of styles. The museum, as a mixed individually extroverted space, has a direct interplay with the cozy, influencing the exterior and even allows for an individual to cross the boundary of the building and access the cozy to circumvent the structure.

These three methods of collage make their appearance throughout the form, giving the occupant moments of playful disparities, eerie disjointedness, bizarre adaptation, further developing the uncanny personality that takes place within Full Circle.
