Using my precedents of Eladio Dieste’s double curved roof and the keyhole pool shape, I first explored aggregating the keyhole to create a continuous carpet roof that covered separate rooms. This created an ambiguity between whether the pool house was one building or many buildings similar to the ambiguity of whether the keyhole is one shape or two shapes.

I explored the inherent qualities of the keyhole: its linearity and difficultness to aggregate. With the Crotona Park WPA Pool site in the Bronx, I responded to the 12 foot bulkhead that separates the pool from the park by creating several levels in my building.

I also used the difficult aggregation of the keyhole to create courtyards inherent in the mat, and used the curvature of the roof to direct water into these courtyards. The bars of the keyhole hold the bathhouse program while the empty space the keyhole creates a water collection system that feeds into the sliced cylinder greenhouses. I explored the use of underground data servers as a way to provide heat for the baths.
