Stephanie DeWan Johnson

Personal Statement When asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why architecture?â&#x20AC;? the answer is simple; because you live your life through it. The majority of our days are spent in or around buildings, therefore they need to be places worth inhabiting. As a young child I enjoyed drawing houses and communities for my family to live that were safe, playful, and beautiful. Today, architecture has the potential to be more than just four walls, a floor, and a roof. Understanding how to use the passive strategies of the past combined with the technology available to us now allows architects the opportunity to create buildings that are more than just shelters. Having the ability to influence how people live their lives is very exciting and I believe it is one of the most rewarding aspects about architecture. This portfolio demonstrates my growth as an architecture student at the University of Oregon School of Architecture as well as projects I have worked on outside of the classroom. - Stephanie DeWan Johnson

Marking the Forest MARKING THE FOREST This 10 day intensive workshop offered in the summer of 2012 was a partnership between the Architectural Association out of the UK and the University of Oregon School of Architecture. Sixteen students and four professors from around the globe were given the challenge to design and build an intervention located in the forest in Oregon. Using only donated materials and constructing the project in four days the final building was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;camera obscuraâ&#x20AC;? or dark room. The concept behind the design was to alter a persons perspective on the environment by projecting the surrounding landscape upside down on the interior walls of the structure. This project was published on the AA website, featured in local newspapers, and was featured on ArchDaily http://www.archdaily. com/282952/camera-obscura-aa-visiting-schooleugene-2012/.

Summer 2012 Design/Build Project

Vicenza Art Gallery and Civic Center PEDESTRIAN PATH The objective of the studio was to understand how a building can take an un-lively piazza in the city of Vicenza, Italy and make the space more lively and active. Another design challenge was that our site was located adjacent to a famous Palladio Basilica. My design solution to create a better piazza space was to create a plethora of storefronts abutting the piazza as well as have the shape of the building create an internal courtyard to provide a smaller and private space for people to enjoy. The shape of the building came from framing specific historical buildings no matter where a person was on the site to provide visual interest wherever one was on the site. Housed in this building is an art gallery, auditorium, and stairs that connect to the adjacent basilica. The primary concept behind the art gallery was to create an open and flowing space that allowed visitors to easily move from the old heavy medieval building located on the east of the site to the new gallery located on the south side of the site.

Lyceum Competition -

Fall 2011 Architecture Studio

REFORESTATION The Lyceum Fellowship hosts an annual design competition where architecture students from all over the country are given 6 weeks to solve the design challenge presented to them. At the end of the 6 weeks the competitors submit one seven page booklet to the judges. The design challenge of the competition was, “What happens when industry leaves substantial marks on the earth?”. The way I approached this project was to create a new “living” building that was designed to give back to the natural environment. To do this the building I designed featured a completely living membrane designed to grow over time. The juxtaposition of the environmental defecation of the mining site in contrast to the living building helps visitors at the site see how our current building environment scars the earth and what we should be doing in order to heal those scars. Featured are some of the sample pages I submitted from my competition booklet.

Duck Store Envisioned -

Spring 2011 Architecture Studio

LIVE GREEN AND YELL - O In this studio we were asked how to maximize the potential of our current campus bookstore site. Since the size of the current site was the same size as a Portland block I saw was the potential to not only to create a bookstore but a mixed-use building that included retail, offices, and student housing. By providing a variety of occupants this would allow for a much more vibrant and welcoming site. The site was also on a corner which brought up some interesting design challenges. By providing multiple layers of the building allows for a gradual step back from the street. After final reviews this project as well as three others from the studio were asked to present to the current owner and managers of the Duck Stores. The model I created for this project still remains on display in the Duck Store main conference room to show guests the future of what the Duck Store can become.

Junction City Oregon Civic Center - Fall 2010 Architecture Studio REVAMPED VERNACULAR This studio design challenge was to redevelop the civic center in Junction City, Oregon. The new civic center would include a City Hall, Community Center, Police Station, and Senior Center. In this studio we were able to collaborate with city officials as well as locals in Junction City. A key focal point of the site provided was an existing water tower. Keeping the water tower in this scheme was designed to keep the focal point on the site as well as establish a sense of place because the water tower can be seen from a far distance away. The building forms and shapes were inspired by the surrounding agriculture sites around the town and in the region. Inspiration Photos

Dexter Lake Boathouse - Spring 2010 Architecture Studio BRIDGE OVER PATH For this studio we were asked to design a boathouse on Dexter Lake, in Lowell, Oregon. The site is a small plot of land located between two parks along Dexter Lake. To not disturb the natural beauty of the site, the main components of the building were placed in existing open spaces on the site. The connection between the buildings resemble the vernacular covered bridges around the site. The structure of the vernacular covered bridges are incredible to experience however one cannot see the structure unless traveling through the bridge. The focal point of my project exposes the incredible structures of the vernacular bridges of the past. Inspirational Photo

Hand Drawings and Sketches DRAWINGS Many of these are a collection of different drawings and sketches from many of my sketchbooks over the past several years. All of these drawings and paintings were completed on site and a lot of these drawings were done on my study abroad program in Italy and Switzerland during the Spring of 2012.

PKJB Architecture and Engineering For the summer of 2011 I worked at PKJB Architects in Seattle, Washington. During the summer I was given many tasks and jobs to preform. Some of the tasks were making projects booklets to send to clients and city officials and drafting a proposal for a new facade design for a Goodwill Renovation Project. Other tasks included working in Revit to create different renderings for a Vet. Clinic, Dentist office renovation, and construction drawings for a new garage. During the summer I was also responsible for putting together the new company website which can been found at www.pkjb.com.

Professional Work SU DEVELOPMENT Working at SU Development in Bellevue, Washington has broaden my knowledge of the building sector. For the summer of 2010 many of my tasks and jobs consisted of compiling projects booklets to send to clients and city officials, researching building codes, creating signage packages for the city officials to approve, contacting vendors, and designing furniture floor plan layouts for marketing. During the winter of 2011 and 2012 I was asked to come back to help with work on several projects. These tasked were focused more on CAD drafting older previously built projects so that the owner would have a digital files of the older projects. In the winter of 2012 I was appointed the task of creating As-Built Drawings of a house recently purchased.

Luminaire Project BLOSSOM NOUVEAU For this project we were asked to design a luminaire that would be placed in a kindergarten classroom. This was a group project so myself a two others decided to create a decorative lighting fixture that the children could look at during nap time. We decided that the luminaire should be fun to look at as well as has a warm glow. To do this we played up the warm tones of the light by adding copper wires and glass to catch the light.
