Choisy plan oblique drawing of the second floor of the Kimbell Art Museum, depicting the spatial volume, as derived from its walls, supports and organizing roof.

Continuous populated plan oblique choisy matrix is of a modification of the Kimbell Art Museum: The roof ground variation transforms the precedent into a bathhouse, and creates a pattern of repeated units. The dark grey squares are representative of the bodies of water, and the light grey squares are representative of the open space above the bodies of water.

Variations of a bathhouse based on the roof and geometry of the Kimbell Art Museum.

Exploded roof axonometric shows which type of roof goes above each program space, and the circulation from the front of the building/street to the back of the bath house where it connects to the beach front.

Plan drawing of a bathhouse based on the roof and geometry of the Kimbell Art Museum. The barrel roof of the Kimbell Art Museum is altered to curve around a central pool area as well as dip below and above a central horizon line based on the program space below it. The program includes changing rooms/bathrooms, shown by the egg shaped stalls. These stalls wrap around the indoor pool and lead to a passageway next to mechanical rooms that lead to the saunas. Ths sauna side is connected to the outdoor pool and has a connection to the beachfront.

Two sections showing the repetition of the roof system , the interior program spaces and the interior exterior relationship throughout the space. The stall walls and the sauna benches are directly derived from the geometry of the Kimbell Art museum barrel roof.
