lindsay sheltoni believe architecture is the physical representation of our deepest emotions. every project is an emotional journey that requires my complete investment. i find a level of deep content, joy, frustration, confusion or love and let that aid me in my development of each project. this mapping of those emotions overlays each project and allows one to see the wide spectrum of feelings that i have experienced during my undergraduate. i always strive to push myself in every project and as i move forward in my architectural career i am interested in utilizing the skills i have learned to fully devote myself to this profession.

spatial exploration

the spatial exploration of the modern teapot and its three main parts, the spout, the pot and the handle wasreinterpreted when designing the moments of pause for the door, window, stair project. we began the project by drawing section perspectives and from those moments we developed a model that explored different materials and tectonic connections.

the topography, door, window and stair were all moments of thought through the design process. the door enters off the topo inviting the environment into the building. the window sits atop the entire model and allows natural light to fill the space. lastly the stair is important as transition moments and movement through the other spaces.

the goal was to provide a modern outlet for the artist of the community. the area was designed to accompany the artist,

community and tourist. allowing the artist to live and interact with the space while keeping the historic integrity.

the historic arts district of asheville, nc is rich in history dating back to the 1700’s. brushing the french broad river

to the west and a highly trafficked railway to the east the river arts district contains some of the most historic

buildings in the area along with some of the most artistic people in the state.

keeping some remains of the candle building allows the site to maintain its historic background as well as providing a new outlet for the artist to display their work, an open gallery that the public can access the remains and sit and enjoy the views from them.

the materials of the partitions in the housing units are decided by the artists and can be moved and rotated on the grid to allow for

variable spaces. anything from chalk board, white board, cork or patterns can be added for their individual expression.

13

the idea behind the arts district housing was to create a space that the artist could completely customize. allowing each and every artist to create their very own personal space whether it

before work, entertainment, family or play.

downtown anderson, sc mimics other downtown areas in the his-toric buildings and grid, however, it lacks green space for the public. the train station become the perfect place for both. this site be-comes the first thing travelers see when they enter anderson so if the building and landscape could come together to create an interesting green escape for them as they move through the city then why not combine them?

process: manipulating the landscape by folding planes became an important part of redesigning the street front of main st. by pushing the build-

ing back off the street it created an open public place constructed as part of the building

the cu[bix] bike share program evolves around the idea that Clemson needs an alternative form of transportation that the students can control. with the centralized “bike hub” in down town and various other nodes around campus and the community the students are

able to pick up a bike at one location and drop it off at another. The hub would also house local residents/students that used solely bikes as a transportation.

the idea that the building could be fluid and the bikers can es-sentially ride through it horizontally and vertically was the reason behind creating the lower level storage system . the bike path passes through the front at street level and continues as a ramp on the back accessing the second floor.

the building is adjacent to a busy side street in clemson and the vegetaion screens allow the residences to produce their own privacy and

customize their apartment

the screens are designed on a modular track system that allows them to easily

be connected the idea that they will eventually take over and the entire building will become a living

structure inside and out

bbq.

hungry?

this is the

bbq on 123 is designed on the principals of “roadside” architecture. dinners and drive-ins are all over the up state but the most interesting form of roadside “architecture” is the billboard. it dots all local highways and interstates and bookends the site on highway 123.

the journey:

the idea that the journey through the billboard to the food was the idea of the building. creating a large advertising venue for the community and the restaurant. drawing the visitors in and making the usually unattainable billboard part of the dining experience.

the building is customizable by the restaurant and possible community groups and activities. it is designed so the billboard

cantilevers over the outdoor dining allowing the dinners to still feel as if they are still inside while being outside.

framing the ccdcspring 2010

professor miller

the Charleston Architecture Center in Charleston (CACC) Studio V worked

with client Michael Maher from the Charleston Civic Design Center

(CCDC) to design and build a bike storage system that not only would keep bikes safe from external harm

but would promote biking in the holy city. Through studying the rich history of the CCDC and Charleston’s urban

renewal Studio V decided to combine the old with the new-celebrating the

CCDC with three separate parts: the landscape, the super graphic, and

the bike boxes.

the landscapeThe landscaping of the site was important because it provided the

foundations for the project and was the first bridge between the past and present. By reconstruction old foundations we were able

to subtly depict the historic moments to the public without them realizing it.

before after

the super graphicThe decision to design a super graphic for the East facade of the

CCDC came from the idea of the “sole survivor”. The history of the site was recorded and systematically placed into the graphic

design. It acts as signage for the CCDC as well as a quick history lesson for the public.

1. the tracing of historical images led us to the information we wanted to portray

2. using chalk lines and rulers we plotted the information piece by piece

3. next we taped off the sections and began painting

the bike boxthe bulk of the design and building aspect of the project rested with the bike box. Taking into consideration Maher’s need for a

double locking private storage system that would keep the bike out of the weather Studio V developed a storage system that celebrat-

ed the simplicity of the bike.

before after

the site boundaries were limiting and required a vertical system. we studied various angles and created several mock-ups to ensure the design and construction would work

the boxes sit on tracks c-channels that create the allusion of float-ing. the channels keep the boxes ourt of the dirt and are aligned

in a way to provide an alley for tourists to stop and experience the boxes even if they are not using the bike boxes.

the boxes are backed with a “history panel” that conveys the his-tory of the peninsula and the site to the visitors

final project allows incorporates the historic and the new. by utilizing the colors of charleston and the ccdc we embodied the

feeling of the holy city in each portion of the project

sketch studies2007-2010

sketching and drawing is what originally drew me to architecture. i love the way you can create something

so simple and beautiful with your hands and a pen.

clockwise: charcoal/pencil, charcoal/pencil, le-pen

architecture graphics: taking hand drawn sketches and using chartpak markers, colored pencils and photoshop create a truly unique drawing that captures the emotional feeling of

architecture and space.
