4 INVESTIGATION | MEASURED REPRESENTATION

This drawing investigates the components and forces which emerge and dissipate during the lifespan of a flower as it blooms and dies. Mechanical armatures juxtapose this natural process with technological processes, creating a bionic hybrid which illustrates the futility of technology in the face of nature.

5INVESTIGATION | MODEL AS PAINTING

After studying Expressionist and Cubist painting, ideas of composition, layering, and form were applied to a center for at risk youth. The exposed structural elements create implied space and infer rhythm, while the central void is emphasized both in plan and section.

6 INVESTIGATION | THE LIGHT WITHIN

UNFOLDING MONDRIAN’S BOOGIE WOOGIES INTO SPACE, CUBED

The goal of this charette was to design an exhibition space and entry hall for nine assigned paintings; the last two paintings of Piet Mondrian, and a selection of seven later paintings inspired by these last two works. Engaging a 33-foot cube and using only natural overhead light, the exhibition space had to allow the possibility to both:

-draw near enough to almost touch, to engage the tactility of the surface of each painting .-withdraw far enough to contemplate, to view the composition of the painting, and to compare it to others.

The parti is derived from two cubic volumes interlocking both vertically and horizontally. These volumes as well as the 33-foot cube are defined through subtraction, allowing light to penetrate and define space through absence.

Multiple ground planes exist within the gallery. The ground plane is called into question as one emerges from the entry hall beneath a reflecting pool. The reflection of the water not only doubles the perceived height of the space, but natural light reflecting off of it from an obscured sky conceals where the sky ends and the earth begins. The intersecting cubic volumes allow the overhead (sky) planes of one volume to function as the earth of another volume.

Arne Jacobsen’s Søholm Housing

This housing project focuses on the value of the unit as it relates to the larger composition. The goal was to develop a courtyard spatial concept that could be applied in both the horizontal and vertical space; such that each unit benefits from its adjoining unit.

Using Arne Jacobsen’s Søholm Housing project as a precedent, the benefits of a staggered L-Type row house are clear, notably semi private courtyards and clear view corridors. In Jacobsen’s project, he extrapolates these concepts into 3 dimensions so that the upper and lower floors are given privileged views of the sea.

The St. Louis site is located at the intersection of a busy cross town bypass and a one-lane road with local pedestrian traffic. The project insulates itself from noise on one facade and opens to the neighborhood community on the other. Meanwhile, the massing of the complex is stepped such that each unit can receive sunlight and private views out. Through courtyards and bridging, interdependent outdoors spaces are created both horizontally and vertically.

XL:TIM aka Cross Lifestyle: Technologically Interfaced Module investigates modern social interaction with furniture. With the craftsmanship of the industrial revolution given a back seat to mass production and mass availability, our culture has adapted and accepted mass production while our demands are relegated by technological advances: we want everything faster, easier and more efficiently.

At the same time, lifestyle shifts and technological advancements have transformed the possibilities of furniture design as an instrument for both productivity and leisure. Mass-production has given way to mass-customization and rapid prototyping, lessening the restrictions placed on modern designers and craftsmen. Unprecedented material availability combined with modern assembly techniques provide great possibilities but do not supplant the craftsmanship of the designer. Properly manipulated, current technologies provide a remarkable opportunity for timeless craft ideals to be reinvigorated and applied to furniture as a lifestyle support instrument.

excavation of Piano’s addition

As Renzo Piano’s addition to the Kimbell Art Museum is breaking ground, it is important to take a critical view at how additions are applied to works of architecture. It is important to understand the meaning of an appropriate addition to a canonical work such as the Kimbell. Works such as the addition to the Salk Institute, the addition to Saarinen’s Dulle’s Airport, and the addition to Scarpa’s Querini Stampalia serve as stark reminders of permanent sins.

The proposal focuses on the siting of the addition such that the Kimbell is re-cenetered as the focal point of the museum complex (including Tadao Ando’s Modern Art Museum). By using a wall to create a backdrop for the Kimbell which will aggrandize the original building, a separation between old and new is articulated. After descending out of the Kimbell and crossing the threshold of the wall into the addition, the stereotomic rhythm and scale of the Kimbell is continued.

The relationship of the addition to the Kimbell is articulated through spatial inversions. Whereas the Kimbell is penetrated by gardens within the galleries, the addition is conceived as galleries within a garden. Where the Kimbell celebrates the sky through the slice in its false vaults, the addition inverts the ground plane and celebrates light as it penetrates the earth.

ANYANG IDENTITY GENERATION

During the 1970’s, the South Korean government utilized new apartment construction in order to bolster economic growth. As the economy experienced an unprecedented boom, monotonous apartment complexes built by government backed corporations became the norm and created an economic framework highly dependent on continued new construction. This results in a cycle where housing complexes are torn down after a relatively short lifespan (approximately every 20 years) to make way for more fashionable living arrangements. This constant updating makes Seoul forever contemporary, yet leaves many places without a history, faces constantly changing.

Anyang, a city just outside of Seoul has been clearing neighborhoods for new construction as part of a larger government mandate. During a semester in Seoul, alternative proposals to this cycle were explored.

The project investigates the assets of the existing neighborhood, specifically alley networks and courtyard spaces, and looks to reinforce them while adding new apartments.

Medium density units are stitched within the alley network by grafting onto the structural systems of existing buildings. This reinforced alley network feeds into a series of scalable towers built on top of an existing roadway, eliminating the need to demolish the entire neighborhood. This provides a starting point for the development of a neighborhood identity that will develop over time.

38 PROFESSIONAL | ORCHID TOWER

The morphology of the orchid introduces variations of column structures and aerated root systems that are elegant embroideries. The delicate form sometimes shapes itself around found natural elements in a complex assembly of small parts. We liken the structural configuration of the Orchid Tower to a Miesian evolution. As Mies was expressing thinness, lightness, and potential of steel material to transform our horizon into elegant reflective transparencies of form, the future direction of construction heightens strength to weight ratios to produce lighter structural members. These small parts work in collaboration to support the weight of dense vertical space.

Carbon fiber high performance materials, while primarily engaged in industrial products, are emerging as a cost-effective pre-stressed material that can replace steel. The Orchid Tower is a high strength, diaphanous veil of carbon fiber reinforced concrete expressing the future of lightweight materials able to sustain variations in form and structure

42 PROFESSIONAL | PRISM TOWER

The Prism tower is a proposal for a new icon for the skyline of Winston, North Carolina. Winston-Salem is caught between two identities, one as the “City of the Arts” and the other as “Camel City” due to its heavy involvement with the tobacco industry. As the city has modernized, it has evolved to attract new industries such as nanotechnology and sees the re-branding of the city as an important step in this continued process. Serving as an observation tower, the project would be one of the tallest buildings in the region. The tower makes use of high-strength prefabricated steel members to create a formal expression that defies typical architectonic assumptions while using minimal structure. Folding iridescent panels are attached to the twisting facade, providing mercurial spatial experiences as one engages the building in different lights and from different angles.

Projective geometry is the basis for this investigative thesis. Specifically, how a framed view from one perspective and its relationship to other perspectives can affect the form of the building. This concept was applied in all stages of the project including site selection and the hypothetical programming.

The site chosen is directly next to a busy, aging concrete bridge which separates a disused industrial area from a resurging residential block. In order to ground the project to the site, multiple scales are engaged: the industrial scale of surrounding factories and fast moving traffic, the human scale of residents and building users, and the scale of the city. This approach is typified in the broad facades facing oncoming traffic, the cantilever running tangent to the bridge apex, and the perspectively structured ramps extending into the neighborhood.

A program was developed based on how observers from within a spatial object relate to the object and how outside observers understand the object (inside looking out and outside looking in). At the human scale, a Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder rehabilitation center was developed in order to investigate how ones understanding of themselves and their broken relationship to other people, events, or places can be reaffirmed. Of particular interest is how rehabilitation techniques often include mentally inhabiting and confronting past traumas and re-emerging to fully engage the present time and place.

The complementary program at a city scale is a seismic monitoring agency that aggregates information and resources for scientific analysis and research while providing on site training of first responders. As an agency, it serves as a symbol for residents and must maintain a degree of anonymity. Yet for those within, a relationship between themselves and those they are trying to protect is informed by views of city landmarks, neighborhoods, and those receiving treatment after experiencing traumatic events.

FRACTURED TRAJECTORIES

50 THESIS | FRACTURED TRAJECTORIES

This spatial apparatus was the basis for investigating projective geometry. Seemingly coplanar elements are exposed as separate entities when viewed from oblique angles. The planes that the elements do inhabit are articulated in the subtracted space of the cube.

This spatial concept is applied throughout the project, framing views and affecting the form of the building.
