admiring the fine work of Carlo Scarpa at the Brion Cemetery in San Vito DAltivole, Italy.

THIS IS ME.

03

my name is JOE MCNEILL.

my goal is to to expand my knowledge and passion for the built world as well as the design world.

while my ultimate goal is to work as an architect, i want this portfolio to represent my many areas of interest. i truly believe in a cross-disciplinary approach to all facets of architecture, that which draws ideas from art, people, music, graphic design, travel, history, language and even those built environments that never had an architect associated with them.

i hope to immerse myself in a professional experience that will foster my growth as an architect and a life-long student.

i intend to work diligently at becoming a better designer, while always remembering my self-initiated values which include:

+ understanding craft as a tool but also an end result+ minding context and the ever-changing societal patterns that drive design+ using words and creating words to enhance the intent of a project+ allowing the cross-disciplinary nature of architecture to infiltrate my life and the life of my work+ super-imposing a lens of simplicity and function over all of my designs.

*BASED ON 2008-2009 FY DATA

LIMITATIONS OF STUDYWhile the study is successful in analyzing students within Lee Hall, its exclusive focus on that student population limits the generalizability of its findings. Future studies should conduct a similar survey on a different Clemson student population for comparison purposes.

IMPLICATIONS OF STUDYThis study hopes to make Lee Hall students aware of the advantages of riding the CAT Bus, and the infrequency with which they use it. The data also highlights shortcomings and offers suggestions for improvement to the system.

Clemson hires a transit administrator in response to increased congestion on campus and pressure from students, administration, and town.

CAT acquires 3 new state-of-the-art Opus buses, bringing their total to 11.

CAT receives the Best Transit System in South Carolina award from the SCDOT.CAT [Clemson Area

Transit] begins.It is a joint venture between Clemson University and the city of Clemson.

CAT becomes the first transit system in the country to use Google maps / trip planner as a resource to assist its riders in planning trips.

New routes are announced to help bring about positive change to on-campus ridership issues.

CAT expands to their 4-U routes [serving 4 universities in the area].

Budget cuts and poor economy force CAT to consolidate and retool routes on the Clemson Campus creating a sizeable drop in ridership.

The Clemson Continuity Council is started to help maintain the Clemson student/ CAT relationship and provide insight into ridership issues and concerns. Construction begins on the new CAT

Headquarters on West Lane.[Funded by American Recovery Act]

Five Proterra Electric buses are purchased in Seneca to replace older models in the CAT system.

The Federal Transit Administration commissions a report on transit programs serving university and college campuses. The CAT system is cited as a model for collaborative approaches to the issue.

The Appalachian Council of Government (ACOG) publishes a region-wide transit study that includes the CAT system.

Charleston Map project

Statement:

Charleston has a bit of an identity crisis. Having lived here for quite awhile now, I have bounced around to several different neighborhoods. As a CofC student, I was too busy running around to notice all of them. When I finally began to realize that there was small print above the street name on the signs, I began to think about it. The thing is, I never knew what those neighborhoods really meant. I wondered why they were so different from other cities I had visited. New York has 5 Boroughs [and all of the other awesome neighborhoods within those], so does D.C., so does San Fran, Chicago....etc. In my naive mind, Charleston was just one tiny peninsula with a bunch of stuff all lumped together in a high density urban area. But, that is simply not true. Maybe its a good thing that Charleston doesnt necessarily have dividing lines or subway stops that separate our neighborhoods. But it certainly does have invisible lines that most of us are unaware of.

Id like this map to help catalyze a shift in the downtown thinking....Where exactly DO I live, and why? How was this neighborhood formed? Where does it begin and where does it end? What amenities does it have? What doesnt it have? What could I do to make it better? What are my neighbors like? Are they college students or a young family? Are they an older family? What other areas of town or neighborhoods do I like to visit? Why?

What does it mean to live in Wraggborough versus Radcliffeborough?

Other cities take great PRIDE in their particular neighborhoods. Why cant Charleston? [And lets not blame it on size.]

So, where do YOU live?

portcityponics

get hooked on ponics.

Port City Ponics does not over-think the architecture of the existing space at 1056 King Street in Charleston, South Carolina. The existing Port City Paper warehouse building has had numerous uses over the years, the most recent being a roller skating rink on the second floor. The large, barrel-vaulted rectangular volume is now a prominent building in the neighborhood of North Central and is being considered the site for Charlestons first Vertical Farm. The design scheme for Port City Ponics is focused on preserving the existing building structure and making an intelligent use of the two rear parcels for a new auxiliary building and market space. The use of the large warehouse space is used strictly for farming. Keeping with the proposed backyard concept, this open-air farming space will be filled with retro-fitted and sealed shipping containers called GROWPODS used for indoor farming. The primary method of farming will be with aeroponic technology which uses tall, thin towers and a drip or mist irrigation to feed the roots of vegetables and plants. These towers will occupy each container [17 each], and will provide the surrounding community with farming space available by lease. This communal gardening aspect intertwines with the indoor farming technology and allows members of the community to farm year-round. Additionally, Port City Ponics imagines the potential for these stacked containers to exist in locations outside of the 1056 King site, making them a completely mobile and modular prototype. Each individual container is complete with an intake water line and tank, a wall-mounted conditioning unit, LED grow light technology, a recycling line for the nutrient-rich water, and 17 aeroponics towers. This modular system has the ability to stack vertically, and, using the standard shipping container connection, stairs and walkways can be connected to each growpod for vertical circulation.

Within the building itself, the growpods are glazed on their south elevation, and, as a system, all of the growpods are stepped in the north direction to allow for the maximum amount of natural sunlight to enter the pods. The plants are supported by a water collection pond on the south-side which collects rainwater, is then pumped into the building, filtered and mixed with nutrients for the plants, and is then pumped back to each individual pod.

THE GREENVILLE CULINARY ACADEMYa culinary arts college experience in downtown greenville // sc

Looking at the urban context of downtown Greenville, density is not a defining characteristic. The city is filled with public space, piazzas, wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets. Through an excercise of engaged and disengaged figure-ground study, it was discovered that a portion of the citys figure had been removed for what appeared to be a large, diagonal projection into the regularity of the city grid. It was, in fact, a void taken from the citys pattern. This slice of removed pattern was caused by the rail line which runs into the city from the northwest. Not only is the rail a gestural nod to the history of Greenville and its industrial buildings, but it also presents a meaningful glance toward the future. From this study of infrastructure and industry in Greenville, the Greenville Culinary Academy [GCA] was born. A culinary warehouse of sorts, built predominantly of steel, it recalls the country of industrial buildings associated with the rail line. At the threshold of dozens of nearby restaurants, the GCA provides culinary students with a truly back-of-house experience whilst also opening up the practices and spectacle of cooking and food culture to the public. This gentle, yet difficult marriage between public and private is made possible by a building within a building concept. This typology creates not only a place for the public to frequent if desired, but also an indoor micro-climate which can be passively heated and cooled and adeptly brings the outdoors in.

The six stacked educational kitchens are on the north side of the site [3 over 3] which allow the heavy and noisy mechanical equipment to occupy a particular space away from the administrative side. These rectangular kitchens maintain a sense of transparency with ample glazing on either 2 or 3 sides. The vertical chase wall between each kitchen exhausts the air from the hoods and also brings in fresh air. These chase walls act as a physical separation between the kitchens and are celebrated as they project through the roof, bringing a particular culinary warehouse identity to the city of Greenville and reflecting the interior functions of the GCA.

On the south side of the kitchens, there is a large public avenue within the exterior envelope between programmatic volumes. These volumes are connected by cross streets and bridge connections which help service the kitchens with cool/dry storage, facilities, freezers and elevator access to ground and below grade levels. This underground level acts as the delivery/receiving area for the school, as well as parking. A bake shop also fronts the South Main street side, the main thoroughfare for pedestrian traffic. Adjacent to the bake shop is the main student-run restaurant, SLICE, an homage to the design intent and a culinary term. At the termination of the avenue between the two programmatic volumes, the demonstration lab is put on display in a glass cube. This cube appears to float between the two buildings contained within the larger building envelope and acts as the knuckle between academic and administrative program, connecting them on the second floor. The transparency of this culinary cube allows for a visual interaction of the public and students, revealing culinary culture as the lynch pin of this architecture and the people who it inhabits.

CHARLESTON VERTICAL FARM Funded and sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Charleston Vertical Farm is a direct continuation of the research initiated by Dr. Gene Eidson and the Clemson Institute of Applied Ecology. The project acts as a feasibility study in collaboration with the Clemson Centers of Economic Excellence in Urban Ecology and Sustainable Development to retrofit an existing historic structure in the city of Charleston.

Through a series of community charrettes, members of a variety of disciplines in the Charleston community have the opportunity to share ideas about their expectations for the unprecedented vertical farm. In the first charrette, community members presented pros and cons for each of the three potential historical sites and voted on the most appropriate site for the feasibility study. In the second charrette, students presented project proposals for critique and community members presented a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis for each of the projects. With these suggestions, students redeveloped their designs for a final public presentation.

CHALLENGE By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earths population will reside in urban centers. According to conservative population estimates, the world population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. It is also estimated that about 80% of current farmable land throughout the world is in use. It is likely that there will not be enough farmable land in the future to feed the world population.

One potential solution is vertical farming in urban spaces. In Charleston, South Carolina, the EPA has sponsored a grant to explore the feasibility of this yvertical farming solution in a selected site on the downtown peninsula. The existing building must be retained, however, any new construction on or around the parcel is allowed. The height restriction for this neighborhood is a 50 maximum. The challenge for the students is as follows:

01. Provide a design scheme that meets the production needs of a vertical farm within the constraints of the program and existing building envelope on the site in downtown Charleston. This requires that at least 3 floors of the building are dedicated to production only farming.

02. Balance the aspects of a new production-oriented building with the needs of the surrounding community. This can be through public market space, community gardens, or educational opportunities within the building.

Presentation skills have become key elements in architecture. In school, how I presented the design work I had done was as important as the work itself. I enjoy working in this medium and finding the right configuration for drawings and photographs so that the viewer can easily understand the intent.

Identity branding is an interesting process. I find my architecture education to be the most helpful in this particular facet of graphic design. Design like this, on a small scale, has the opportunity to do great things. Simplicity, function, vibrance, and beauty all play major roles in the branding of a company or individual. These characteristics are very similar to the necessities of a well-designed building.

i suppose most architects like to consider themselves photographers. i do not, however, have any training in photography, but i believe in the opportunity that film affords us to capture a significant moment - whether it is a person or building - it can only appear that way once. As a designer, it is important for me to be able to recognize these moments, angles or views and capture them. You never know when they might be used again.
