Contract Project - Architectural Visualization

EthiopiaStudio2.0 travel graduate studio fall 2011

In collaboration with Mesganu Arga and through the help of Keri and Brian DeGuzman, Arizona State University, the Woreda Educational Bureau, and DeBartolo Architects, the members of the EthiopiaStudio2.0 had the unique and unbelievable opportunity to design a new school in the rural region of Gurage, Ethiopia.

Project Lead Jack DeBartolo Members: Sergio Carrasco Jennifer Del Rio Johanna Collins Lauren Loosveldt Yan Ren Patrick Bailey Jeff Clancy Jennifer Pankratz Ernesto Lopez Mathew Wilson Sylvia Vargas

The school will address the educational needs of the local community and provide an opportunity for the children of Shebraber to complete elementary, junior, and high school, opening for themselves all the doors of future potential.

The renovation/ addition will increase the number and quality of classrooms, provide space for a library and computer center, and will bring hope for the future by changing the cycle of poverty through education.

EthiopiaStudio2.0 Members

EthiopiaStudio2.0 developed the master plan, landscape design, architectural design, and construction documents for the immediate construction of these desperately needed facilities to support the growth of education and potential in the Shebraber community.

Plaza

landscape the creation of what constituted plaza and pastoral was paramount to the overall concept of the classroom. in recognition of the importance of outdoor space to both ethiopian culture and education, plazas were designed that facilitated play and learning. the interstitial space between classrooms was designated according to the size of the vegetation as either a zone for learning, playing, or retreat. these zones were later reinforced with the design of several components created from the existing building materials on site. the landscape therefore, became as essential to the design as the classroom itself.

the lapa in ethiopian culture is representative of social gatherings, meals, and collaborative work environments. traditionally, each household will have an outdoor covered area, and designates this as a special communal space. in keeping with this idea, a lapa of proportion enough to handle the 2,000 children was designed. this lapa will serve as a gathering space for school events, an extension of outdoor space for the administration, as well as a place for the community to come together on market days to sell goods produced on campus and from home..

divisions of graduate studio fall 2010 phoenix, az

the phoenix research lab is a multi disciplinary environment which focuses on light research as it applies to energy and health. with the variation of fields that will inhabit this building it was imperative to create a collaborative environment to foster creative and intellectual exchange. using light as a common factor, the various spaces from labs, to collaborative group environments and circulation are illuminated in various ways, allowing for the subject of study to be reflected and appreciated throughout the architecture itself.

labs

collaborative interactive

research on the phenomena of light was essential to the design of the laboratories. these modes represent the overall effect and study of the how the colored light infiltrates the building while marking, with its variations in color and shadow, the change in time and season.

On the Boards is an existing alternative theater, continuously experimenting with various forms of expression and art. The popularity of their performances has created a need for an additional, flexible space. Both the Busker Center and the renovated OtB are designed be glowing beacon which announce to the surrounding community the onset of a performance. Performances therefore, bring the architecture to life, glowing in different parts and forms, performing for the city as do the actors within. volumes of interaction:

reinvisioning chipley Chipley FL Undergraduate 4th year Prof. Gold

Chipley FL is a small town that is suffering from economic decline. In an attempt to reinvigorate the economy a master plan was produced which focused on elements of eco tourism and sustainable energy production. As an example of various housing typologies that could occur this multifamily housing project aims to demonstrate how sustainable energy production can be integrated into the design while reinforcing the idea of community and interaction through multilevel outdoor environments.
