CONDENSER BUILDING

May 2024 — UC Berkeley, Arch 100B

Condenser building’s offset-pagoda form creates a clear division of spaces - circulation, active, and leisure. The elegant lean creates a large, tapered atrium on one side for vertical circulation, illuminating the wire-hung ceremonial staircase which ventures further from each floor. The other side offers ample sunlight for common areas with wide balconies for horizontal circulation.
