[Cracking Design]
CRACKING: First studio project assigned during summer studio 2011 with Jason Turnidge. The assignment was to pick five points, outside of a 32â&#x20AC;? x 32â&#x20AC;? square. Two points could be on the same side, but no more. The algorithm of cracking: take the midpoint of a line to an intersection. After finalizing a cracking design on paper, I experimented with using the design as a template to build multiple configurations of models. Professor: Jason Turnidge, Summer 2011 Materials: Bristol and pencil

SPIRALING RHYTHM: An exercise that used adjectives to describe design. At random, I was given the two words ‘spiral’ and ‘rhythm.’ Initially, the assignment was to design in pencil on an 18”x18” sheet of Bristol. Subsequently, I was directed to build the design as a model within the following dimensions: 18”x18”x2”. (Model displayed and retained in the Kent State Archives.)

AQUATIC CENTER: The concept of a Water Cycle directly relates to the recreational center for being a water-based program. From the onset, my original idea was to focus on the circulation of waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical processes: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. This same concept is present in the exterior design in that it corresponds to the interior experience. The roof model represents a cloud that relates to condensation and precipitation. When viewed from the front entrance, the building seems to contain water (blue tinted glass) in its natural elements. When entering the building into the lobby, a directional choice needs to be

made: be evaporated (go upward to the museum or classroom) or stay as a fluid and take the path of liquid water to the boat storage, lockers, maintenance, or porch.

FITNESS CENTER: This project was an attempt at symbolism. After researching, I came across how crystals are created through specific variables in a unique environment. I took the initiative to break down this science and integrate it into the fitness program. CONCEPT DESCRIPTION: Crystals are formed by a combination of proteins, crystallines, and physical variables. They are often characterized as; natural, strong, transparent, and geometric. The actions of crystals are often described as: channeling, bridging, clustered, consummation, curves, and light separation. The inspiration of crystals has been discovered as being directly related to descriptions of exercise. Exercise is

[Exploded Axon] sometimes characterized as: increased heart rate, muscle growth, performance, fitness, strength, speed and power. This intent of crystal development is to use it to organize the program layout and design the recreation center around that. The program will become an imagery of three separate categories come together to create crystals. These categories will be organized into pre-work out (protein), aquatics (crystalline), and workout areas (physical variables). The development and organization of the program will, in itself, design the building on its own. This approach of design relates back to crystal development by being a natural event of creation.

ONDA TRIPLA The Gastronomy Center is based off of proportions merging in different mediums. The collisions of paths are seen as ripples merging in a proportionate series. Proportion is inspired by the Fibonacci Series 1:1:2:3:5:8:16:32 The form starts as an extrusion of the existing school. Using site lines allow the extrusions to respond to the surrounding. Three primary forms arise where the program fits accordingly. The apertures in the roof mimic looking up at water ripples from under water as light shines through. The roof design is carried through the facade to express the building as a single monolithic entity.

of site conditions of macro landscape between hardscapes
RECOGNIZING and defining the site zone will allow a focal point of APPRECIATION to the topographic landscape. SITE SELECTION SIX allows a great opportunity to allow three levels of program, which allow a strong and clear CONNECTION to Yellowstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty. The high zone will connect to Dunraven Peak while sitting at the cliff that oversees Yellowstone Grand Canyon. The mid zone will be isolated into the landscape to allow an appreciation at a micro scale, allowing
an opportunity for the memorial to be place in this zone. The low zone will be at the bottom level of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, allowing 7 Mile Hole to be Recognized. Materials and design will all have the intent of recognizing the site conditions, appreciating the opportunities the site gives, and creating a smooth transition between hardscape and softscape, which allows a strong connection to be made.

URBAN REGENERATION A built response to current urban life, and a changing health industry. Better environment. Better health. The building design had to be sustainable in order to truly maintain health in the community. The building was designed under the standards of the Living Building Challenge. The petals that were focuses on were the sites of energy, health, beauty, and beauty. The courtyard provides a large number of sustainable features for the project. It provides more access to daylighting on the floor plates, more access to fresh air and natural ventilation, and the ability of using stack ventilation in order to vent the building.

The different varieties of program in the project demanded different envelope conditions. Many different envelope conditions either allow or block the sun to supply or block heating. The apartment units focuses on supplying passive heating and letting the sun deep into the space to keep it warm. The upper levels us a system of overhands from the balconies, or internal shading devices to block solar radiation from the sun.

[Exterior Rendering - Activity Stage]
URBAN EXCHANGE On a street such as North High Street in Columbus, Ohio, it is important to understand what motivates the public to occupy a space in terms of Urban Exchange, considering the cultural, ecological, and social factors. The information will explain how the public will react to spaces (programmatically), an open container for active exchange and a closed container for passive exchange. The Urban Exchange will find the social, ecological and cultural information of the city with a view of taking contested action. After analyzing existing buildings and program, the urban exchange will address the information and take action to implement change within public space.

Create experiences and interactions = 1.) Disrupt thoughtless movements 2.) Gain conscious view of environment and inhabitants. HOW DOES EXCHANGE (PASSIVE/ACTIVE) AFFECT A SPACE IN ORDER TO BECOME AN OPEN/CLOSED CONTAINER? Site operation | program With the active and passive exchange in a public space, each new space will offer opportunities through open/closed container access. Public spaces will offer various interpretations,
allowing competitive forces to affect the space. Differentiation in floor plate height and facade angles will offer a unique form of hierarchy, but will contest the spacesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities by access of stairs, and zoning of railings and leisure spaces. A balanced use of mixed spaces will offer opportunities for exchange between individuals, groups, and/or environments. The result will establish quality public space and secure private space to promote education for the university and general public.

REACTIVE FIBER This project focuses on reactivating East 9th street in Cleveland, at night. The argument with East 9th street is vacancy after regular business hours. The lack of retail and afternoon entertainment is a disadvantage for the streets safety for pedestrian traffic. Side glow lights via fiber optics is the instrument for stimulating the attention of pedestrian traffic. This proposal will instigate and redirect the pedestrian traffic in ways the city has the ability to control for future investors to take advantage of. C+ scripting has been used to develop a functional prototype: we allow LED lights to react to vibrations on a street-scape level, and wind on
20
the peaks of buildings. These parameters allow pedestrians to see wind at night through light, and respond to the data by vibrations. Through parametric design, multiple scenarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were developed; resulting in multifaceted moments of aesthetic, and mystery. This result promotes night life assurance through light for pedestrian traffic.

GE - MDX Full experience of a ground up project from Schematic Design to Finished Result. Giant Eagle is a large grocery store chain based out of Pittsburgh, PA. They have asked for a prototype for their upscaled grocery store chain [Market District]. This store has been built in Bexley, OH. It is a 30,000 sf two-story grocery store. In the proposal stage, we addressed major design proposals that consisted of balance and simplicity. Construction document set up began concurrently during this stage. For a fast track project, this is very appropriate to do, however, there are fall backs if
24
all parties are not familiar with the process. Pushing through many obstacles, we were able to publish construction documents on time and receive permits for the project. When the project had started, the Contractor did not follow the official CDs which led to many problems that we had to coordinate solutions for. Ultimately, the project was built and opened as scheduled. MCG Architecture, Summer 2015 - Summer 2016 Programs: Revit Architecture 2015`, 3DS Max 2015, Auto CAD 2015, Photoshop CC

For the entrepreneurial space, flexibility and resourceful tools with the consideration of technological development. Color theory was used to enhance the atmosphere and promote positive thinking.
Goals the client wanted to achieve: a defined front entrance to their school with a larger cafeteria; a multipurpose facility that would encourage entrepreneurial development and thinking. The entrance will give a prominent presents that gives strength with a commons space. This will give them the flexibility to do as they please with considerations of air comfort to activity.
As of the schools January newsletter, they have raised 14 of the 18 million goal. Construction will begin June 2017. Jeffery A. Grusenmeyer & Associates, Inc., Fall 2016 Programs: Revit Architecture 2016, Photoshop CC www.ctacampaign.com
