2012 - 2015Washington State University | School of Design + ConstructionUndergrad Architecture Portfolio

Kyle Redzinak

As a design student and aspiring architect, I really enjoy showing off my work and love finding inspiration from anything I can. This includes my infectious desire to expand my network of knowledge, contacts, and friends, where I understand that I can learn from anything and anyone in some way. Through my education, work, and life experiences thus far, I have learned how crucial it is to work as a team player, keep an open mind, make new friends while staying connected to old ones, get more involved with the architecture profession, and travel the world as much as possible. My goal for this portfolio is to capture my excited personality, showcasing some of my significant undergraduate work, architectural photography, and world travels. Enjoy!

Aggregating the Classroom

Needs + Wants

This project involved designing a school in a series of steps, starting with the micro level (the classroom), moving to the intermediate level (aggregation of the classroom) and finishing on the macro level (the school as a whole). This method of approach drastically changes the way I thought about the design process because typically, planning starts with the big picture and moves into the details. The main goal of this project was to gather information on the needs and wants for kids in a classroom, use this information to develop a classroom design, aggregate this classroom to develop strategic pods or wings and finally, incorporate other necessary facilities that a school requires (commons, library, etc). The final design is directly inspired by the classroom, how the classroom functions and how kids respond to these functions.

The Seattle Urban Library02 Finding form from the urban surroundings 8

This project involved the proposal of a library into an urban site in Seattle, WA. The existing site is a concrete parking lot with a convenient store and dry cleaning building with a steep slope in the back. After visiting the site, I was able to gather some important information, that was then used for the development of my library.

Research of the surrounding area revealed a significant amount of residential units as well as many parks and schools. This led to the addition of a playground on the below grade floor.

The form of the library is inspired by implied angles a perspective can create in an urban setting. For example, the triangular form that is created when one looks down a building-lined street.

An existing five story building butted directly up against the site led to the design of a central atrium in the core of the library. This, combined with the glass entry allows much of the building to be sufficiently lit with so much of the site being shaded.

Identifying the Problems

Finding Inspiration in the Vernacular Architecture

Locating Developable Land

Through extensive research and the use of geographical filters, locate developable land and choose the best location to implement a prototype based on proximity to transportation, education and jobs.

Rapid urbanization, traffic congestion, loss of ancient culture and densification are among the many problems that the area struggles with.

Create the conditions which will help these issues by capitalizing on the cultural fabric of the original architecture of Shenzhen called Hutongs and the carrying capacity of newer high-rise developments in Urban Villages.

In the wake of overpopulation, densification and pollution in every major city around the globe, a special type of architecture, analysis and problem solving is desperately needed. Our target city for this project was Shenzhen, China. In this project, my group and I first identified the district we wanted to focus on and within this district mapped different features of the region such as roads, flood zone, slope and open spaces. The aim of the project was to use research and find patterns to identify the main problems and then develop a residential prototype that addresses these issues.

First Model | Guangming District with illuminated rods representing connectivity among communities, which was helpful in determining areas with less connectivity

Developable Space Selected

After choosing a suitable open space based on traffic congestion, lack of connectivity and proximity to education and cultural spaces, we developed a scheme for our complexes. To preserve the ancient culture in Shenzhen, we chose to have two sizes of units in respect to the hutongs and urban villages. We also chose to allow street market carts, community gardening and roof top parks to exist to preserve the connectivity among the urban complexes. These complexes would be supported by the ancient Qilou structure used only in this region of China. The Qilou influenced the main structure and allows shelter from the elements and enables markets below to thrive. The unique shape of the complexes is driven by the need for all units to have access to balcony space and the need for a central unifying element; the courtyard.

Form Follows Function- Complexes need a central courtyard- Complexes include small and large units- Complexes vary from two to five stories- Angled edges allow for more balcony space- Corners of each plot are open to street vendors

This project involved the integration of the major crops in the Palouse region of Washington State into the design of our building. The Palouse region is a perfect place to showcase these crops with the beautiful undulating hills filled with fertile soil. The roof acts as a canvas for these crops as well as a symbol of the building. Our big architectural move was having a huge roof grow the four main crops of the region, where visitors and researchers could go up through the roof to experience the crops high up. The building aims to give a one-of-a-kind experience to visitors and to educate these visitors on the planting, growing, managing, production, and cooking processes of the crops.

Soil Depths of Different Crops Influenced the Change and led to the Sloped Roof

Reinvigorating Modernism05Exploring the modernism clash of architecture on the IIT Campus 28

McCormick Tribune Campus CenterPresentation and Discussion On-site

Crown Hall

After much research and preparation, I presented on-site of Illinois Institute of Technology's (IIT) McCormick Tribune Campus Center about how this Campus Center clashes with the surrounding Mies buildings. The Center aims to reinvigorate the modernism and urbanism established at the Institute by Mies van der Rohe decades before, as seen in Crown Hall in the above right. However, as technology and architecture progressed over the years, Mies's less is more style of steel-and-concrete structures with glass curtain walls became quiet and lifeless. Koolhaas, being at odds with Mies and his admirers, sought to define what modernism has really become. His bold design includes a 530 ft long steel tube that houses the L train line that runs directly atop the eschewed building as seen in the above left. This new Campus Center completely clashes with the design and principles that Mies developed over his many years at the school. This bold move of Koolhaas delivers a new revitalized modernist icon for the campus.

Block 48 Media Tech Center06Integrated project exploring LEED options and activating the SLU tech industry 30

In this integrated project, my partner and I were paired with three 4th year construction management students in which we worked throughout the semester to develop a project proposal for a Tech Center. My partner and I were responsible for the design and construction documents and the construction managers were responsible for the estimate, schedule and site logistics for the project.

The design concept was based on the principles of technology and what technology means to us. Computers come to mind when we think of technology in which our buildings were divided into the three major components that comprise a computer: the CPU, GPU and PSU. These different components became a way to group and organize our program on the site which was thought of as the motherboard that these functions plug into.

2.4| Reuse of the D.C.With the Discovery Center being modular in nature, it was made to be disassembled and relocated with relative ease. We want to take full advantage of this and disassemble the whole center and adaptively reuse the curtain walls, structural steel beams and siding as well as recycling the concrete foundation. All these reuses helps the project achieve a higher LEED rating, adds value and innovation to the construction process and helps close the loop for some of the materials so that time, money and energy is saved through this process.

Reuse of the Discovery Center

Five digital trees populate the site that are accented by exciting LED displays and vegetation growing up the intricate steel tubing

The exterior perforated metal panels mimic the casing of a computer that further connects the architecture to the idea of the buildings being pieces of a computer

To help achieve a LEED Gold certification for this project, the Discovery Center s exterior walls, steel beams and glass curtain walls are salvaged and reused

These exterior panels are made from recycled steel, acting as a shading device that still allows light in but significantly reduces the heating load on the building which in turn saves on cooling the building s interior

Design + Detailing07Designing and detailing a rainscreen, window, door and stair for the Center for Wooden Boats

RainscreenThis rainscreen system is based on the simplicity of how wooden boats look on the exterior and wood was specified to further the relationship between building and wooden boats. The rainscreen assembly uses a simple system of furring strips every 24 inches O.C. with patent pending clips that allow the rainscreen panels to slip and clip in place with no exposed fasteners. Water channels also run down the rainscreen from the gutters on the outer face for people to see and experience the path of the water down to an exposed basin at the base.

WindowThe window design was based on the fact that the space on the second floor would be used for children which made a nice place for floor to ceiling glazing for unobstructed views. The glazing starts at the floor and five feet up has three separate hopper windows. This allows for airflow in and are high enough to prevent injury to children. The window unit is recessed from the rainscreen to give a slight shadowed profile and allow the window to have a more expressive presence. Wood was specified to match the rainscreen material and directly respond to the building s use; the Center for Wooden Boats.

DoorDoors are quite frequently plain and very predictable. Designing with this in mind, wood carved inlays are placed in the door for adult and children sized hands, allowing children a unique experience of being able to open the door on their own. The door location remained and a curtain wall wraps the corner of the sides to give a bright and airy feeling to the entry. The door material is made of thin sheets of corten steel that would naturally change color over the years in the elements of the weather. The steel sheets use exposed fasteners and the sheets continue above the door, giving the appearance of a much larger and heavier door than it really is.

StairsKeeping in line with the concept of the door, we designed a stairwell with two sets of stairs: one for children and the other for adults. The children's stair have a shallower rise and run of 4 to 5 and the adults stair has a typical rise and run of 7 to 10. Both sets of stairs are supported on one side with c-channels that are welded to corten steel panels that run the perimeter of the stairs and supported by corten steel rods that screw into a steel panel hanging from beams in the overhead structure. The main visual experiential element of the stairs is the 'Swiss cheese' corten steel panels in the center. These holes are covered with Plexiglas and the landings in the children's stair have Plexiglas pop-outs at different heights that makes going up stairs more enjoyable and memorable for children.

2013 3rd Year Architecture Study Tour

2014 4th Year Architecture Study Tour

Class wide trip to explore San Francisco's architecture while giving a live group presentation at the location of our assigned site. I acquired an appreciation of San Francisco's architecture and learned a lot about the history and culture of the bay area and how the region has a one-of-a-kind feeling to it.

Class wide trip, also open to interior designer, landscape architecture and construction management students where we explored the intense architecture of Chicago as well as give a solo live presentation at the location of our assigned site. I came away with a surprising perspective of Chicago, a city with rich culture and extensive architectural history. I was largely inspired by the scale and variety of design types, but more so by the Chicagoan's appreciation and admiration for the city's architectural works which is seldom seen in any city.

15 day trip in which I studied the works in museums and historical architecture. My big assignment for the trip was to give an on-site presentation on the Pantheon and follow up the trip with an extensive paper written about the Pantheon. I gained a true perspective into the ancient Roman culture, architecture and art and found a passion to travel internationally to see the world's most prominent architecture. This trip also opened up my eyes to how other countries function and really challenges me to think beyond my understanding of just how the U.S. functions.

Through the high school program College Bound, selected students were flown to California to tour UCLA and SDSU where I started getting an idea of where I wanted to go after high school and what large universities looked like.

2012 Study Tour + Site VisitOur studio professor for the semester gave a small tour of Seattle and then we visited our proposed site for our studio project for the semester. I learned a lot more about Seattle and this was my first site visit in which I gained a wealth of knowledge and an understanding on how to use the site for inspiration. I used this knowledge in the design process which played a huge roll in my final design.

Seattle, WA

2014 AIAS West Quad ConferenceMy first AIAS related trip where fellow WSU students, myself, and other architecture students from around the western quadrant of the U.S. attended local architecture tours, presentations, lectures, and networking events. My group and I also participated in the 19th annual sand castle esquire where we created something out of sand and beach materials that echoed the theme 'cultures of the world.' I learned a lot about Hawaii's unique and different architecture and culture only found on the Hawaiian islands. The networking opportunities allowed me to make friends with similar passions and interests who will be life-long acquaintances.

Honolulu, HI

2014 AIAS Forum ConferenceThis AIAS trip was much like the West Quad Conferences but is the largest gathering of architecture students in the world and draws students from all architecture schools in the nation. The conference was hosted by the University of Tennessee - Knoxville in which I participated in firm tours, a city wide scavenger hunt, Freedom By Design awards ceremony, presentations, New Years Eve Beaux Arts Ball, and many other activities and tours of various museums and buildings. This was my first architecture trip to the eastern part of the U.S. and I gained a lot of knowledge of the city's love of music and how much Nashville is developing. Like all the other AIAS trips, I made friends with fellow architecture students from around the nation where we talked about our experiences and aspirations in the field of architecture.

Nashville, TN

2015 AIAS West Quad ConferenceBeing the Treasurer of the WSU AIAS Chapter, I was heavily involved with the planning and execution of this conference. I was involved in the making of the nametags and helped lead two firm tours; Callison and BCJ and a tour to the Chapel of St. Ignatius. I also helped in the registration process and the planning and setup for the Beaux Arts Ball hosted by UW and WSU at Gould Hall; UW's architecture building. Being apart of the planning and execution of the conference was a great experience where I was able to meet more students and architects and gain valuable connections that will make me a better professional. The involvement I had also helped me see what it takes to plan such a large event and helped me become a better leader as a student and an emerging professional.
