True monolithic piece...

Segregated Monoliths is a final student project by Alex Phi, done at Sci-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) in Los Angeles, California. The design investigates monolithic structure in its solidity. True monolithic piece of architecture is unbroken, rigid, invulnerable, a whole, large and unified with no recognizable parts. The research deals with displacing and dislodging both formal and organizational aspects of a building while retaining a sense of wholeness.
