Yek. An Architecture Manifesto by a Proto-Post Scarcity Social Capitalist Creative Maker

Why? Architecture supports it’s occupants through having meaningful relationships within and outside of context. It enriches life through facilitating activities and physicalities that would normally not be.

Architecture can clear the mind and enable enhanced thought and feelings through inspiration and awe.

If Architecture did not exist for its occupants and observers than Achitecture left unoccupied and unobserved would have no purpose or meaning.

What?

Architecture is as much of what it is as what it is not. Architecture at its root should be of its time or beyond.

It should use what ever is at its disposal, being expressive and thoughtful. It should recognize where it is and what its impact to its place. It should be humble, nothing more or less than what it is with ambition of contributing more than what it intends to be.

How? Architecture at its best is rooted in a theoretical pragmatism. Utilizing a variety of methods developed through a collaborative process in which theoretical ideas and concepts are executed through the most pragmatic means. It should strive for simple solutions that clearly demonstrate theoretical concepts and ideas while maintaining pragmatic necessities that are not wholely compromised. It utilizes constraints as drivers of innovation, re-purposes ideas and materials in new ways, utilizes technology to integrate, streamline and delegate which enable it to eliminate waste of material and time.

Who? The collaborative using any and all techniques and methods known and unknown in the most efficient manor. Efficiency can be achieved through the clear understanding of the minimum required to execute the most simple and effective solution through effective delegation. Efficiency can be a result of mitigating redundancies in material, time and effort. Utilizing the collaborative’s expertise in knowing what is and is not required will lead to only producing what is needed and not producing what is not. The collaborative controls all that is involved throughout the entire process as required and needed.

The collaborative values difference and experimentation. They are unafraid of failure. They allows and accounts for all this as part of an invaulable process. They teach others the process and allow the process to be what it needs to be. This is valued to the highest degree and ensures this is what everyone values. Its only through valueing diffference, experimentation and failure that Architecture can progress and develop new means and methods that allow it to be more than it could ever be intended.

Now. Believe in architecture’s ability to effect and affect people through its presense and lack of presense.

Let architecture be a result of the purpose, expressive and thoughtfull methods and collabortive process.

Trust and value the collaborative in its ability to solve and execute.

Value experience and experimentatation and allocate enough time and resources to this process.

Demonstrate to everyone exactly what the process is what that takes, be completely transparent.

Be open, uninhibited, forget typical, allow yourself to be unconstrained and to fail.

The ideal can never be achieved, however, without pursuit of the ideal we never progress.

Never be content, always strive for better, backwards is still progress forward if you do not stop moving.

RICHARD LUCERO Architecture lies in the details and at the human scale.

A theoretical pragmatic approach is ideal in developing an underlying language and solution for every project at it’s various scales.

One Night to Render + Post Conceptually based on the idea of using various track typologies as a programmatic massing.

Certain types of tracks lend themselves to certain types of spaces and movement based on form.

Using Drag strip typology for food as finding and knowing all options as soon as possible is most ideal.

The Indy track on the other hand is used for larger retail where a desire to be more casual and slower paced is fine; this is also where a Large Anchor resides 4 stories up over two floors.

A Nascar bank is planted green space and below is smaller retail, at center are farmers market kiosks.

Retro Tense Architecture Thesis Presentation Rhino Mdl + Dwg, GH Kangaroo Tested V-Ray Rendered + Animated, Illustrator + Photoshop, Tensegrity historically has operated as an engineering solution to enclose architecture (Biosphere by Fuller), or as sculpture (Needle Tower by Snelson).

Architecture has an ability to meld both engineering and sculpture into building and more. Using tensegrity systems as a volumetric sub-divider at various scales enables it to accomplish basic architectural functions of floor, wall, ceiling, roof, room, furniture in a manner that will also create an architectural effect/ affect through material, light, repetition and density.

Calder Museum Space One Day Excersice Concept Modeling Basic Render + Lots of Post Rhino + V-Ray + Photoshop Another quick exercise to break up the routine. This museum piece is base on some ideas/ suggestions I made to a colleague. The concept is base on viewing a very heavy sculpture,in this case a Alexander Calder sculpture, in suspended space where it might feel a bit precarious.

The sculpture would sit over a translucent floor where it could be viewed from below and seen against a cityscape rather then the more typical corporate tower exterior or lush garden. Being an exterior sculpture typically louvers felt appropriate to regulate light and frame the view as well as juxtapose the curving red steel.

This being another exercise I decided to be a bit more stringent on the time.

Cutting time for modeling down to four hours which included time for a quick sketch based on ideas I had. One hour of this time was spent modeling the Alexander Calder Flamingo sculpture itself.

Photoshop time down to four hours for the second image. This included constructing the background from 5 images, placing people and adjusting levels, curves, hues, saturation, adding shadow and highlights. The first image was far quicker being mostly a render with some trees and sky, this was about 30 minutes plus an hour of render time.

Wide Flange to Triangle Cantilever

Fabricated in aluminum.

Using Digital Project to design the testing rig and generate digital testing model as well as files for production. Plasma Cut pieces were welded and tested using a winch.

The primary premise of this scheme is to use a single pice of steel that will morph into a variety of sections to cantilever a concrete mass that will act as a chill out spot for students.

The Concrete is formed to create the platform, stair, guard rail and seating. Current it is approximately 183 cubic ft of concrete which equates to 27 540 lbs.

The Beam transitions from various types of standard extruded steel sections using the wide flange as the initial and last state.

Section A-A

Section B-B

Section C-C

The semester started with a simple idea of taking a standard wide flange and de constructing it. It evolved to a reconstructed wide flange that would become a beam that would transition from various standard steel sections into one another and this would compliment its movement and load.

Chill Out Beam was a heuristic project that used a concrete mass, doubling as an chill out space, would demonstrate visual its weight and the forces it exerts on the beam as it hangs acting as a cantilever.

For many reasons nothing will be built permanently.

A piece of the beam was fabricated in aluminum and tested to failure. The beam was incredibly strong and as a cantilever its webbing deformed until it fell out of the rig.

Oyler Wu Collaborative Taipei Tower #3 Schematic Design Presentation Materials Maya + Maxwell Taipei Tower #3 is a high end residential tower. The client requested 3 schemes be produced. This scheme was developed by me and was the chosen scheme to move forward with. Project is currently under design development.

The interesting problem with the development of the tower as a whole was the fact that we only were given +/- 5ft of the exterior of the building to work with. We had to ensure everything happened within this space and guarantee a certain amount of open space and balcony.

Articulating the over all gesture and using minimal material was another challenge. Trying to keep the scheme relatively simple while still achieving interesting complex effect was the goal.

My biggest contribution through out was steel fabrication. I was responsible for fabricating the most complicated components of the steel structure that required precise compound angled cuts through 1/8â&#x20AC;? steel wall tubing.

I was also responsible for training other team members proper technique and safety when cutting steel and figuring out faster fabrication techniques. I also was the only other team member that was responsible for welding other then Dwayne Oyler.

Throughout the construction process I was responsible from documenting through photography and video at the various stages.

A large aeroponic greenhouse steel truss super structure is primary and self contained residential blocks sit at its center.

Residences are essentially glass boxes that use continuous cabinets to define space and carry programmatic storage, plumbing and HVAC.

During design documents the buildings systems were better defined as well as the cabinet detailing and construction method.

Studio Sky City Transit 4A Studio Project Conceptual Models Presentation Section Model Hand Cut + Drawn, CNC Milled, Laser Cut + Steel Fabricated, These first three models were initial study models for different ideas about the project. One model was looking at a multiple level platform strategy. Another strictly at the various forms of transportation and their given routes.

The last the idea of a few vertical structural cores and multiple hung/ cantilevered buildings.

The presentation model was its self an illustration/ example of how the buildings could be supported by limited structural cores.

Ramp Circulation

Retail Exterior Store Front Green Walk

This project is a master plan for future development of Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Primary driver for the project was the idea of a bicycle infrastructure that consisted of sky walks/ bike ways that would run through the city.

Open Program

Slabs use flowing Multi Level Planes to Create an Exterior Terrain that Allows Exterior Park Like Store Fronts

Kiosk Pedestrian Walk

Stair

Exterior Circulation/ Open Program

Bike Path

1:15 Ramps are used to traverse program and other cicrculation, bridging between via truss structure and suspension cables. Lower level are uni directional bike paths and above is open pedestrian walk with open program spaces and space allocation for kiosks.

Major Connectors have two pedestrian levels

Office Using Channels to cut through the floors allow a narrow office space fo better light and natural ventilation while also creating exterior spaces for Eating/ Smoking.

Support Structure

Flat Circulation

Offices

Union Station would be the central hub of these sky ways and was developed as a vertical street where program was staked and dispersed through out so that there was no single concentration. Residences are treated as elevated blocks that are accessed by these sky ways.

Used to traverse the site from east to west. 3 sets exist, one coming from Metro HQ, the second from East Portal and the third from the Parking Structure. is open program which can be planted allow for kiosk. Lower levels are used to navigated laterially between platorms and types of transport.

Primary Structural Support for programatic spaces as well as Ramp Circulation. Support via Suppension or Catalevers. A double walled ribben like tube carriers all load to the ground keeping the track level mostly open as well as connecting various levels and program through out. Ramps in opposing directions are 1:15 with at minimum 2 lifts at most 4 lifts. stairs run from below to top levels. Ment to create a vertical pedestrian walk.

A critical component to stainability is doing more with less. It is important that architecture encourages greater efficiencies in living, e.g. higher population densities on a lot. Also to encourage more common open shared space resulting in a greener city-scape.

Water in Los Angeles is an expensive commodity. Three quarters of the cost of water is related to energy required to pump water from various locations to Los Angeles. It is important to retain as much rain water as possible to cut dependency on pumping.

The amount of rainfall that falls on a standard lot is enough water to sustain 12 people for a year.

Materials used should be easily reusable and recyclable by avoiding the use of plastics and adhesives. Minimizing hardware enables recycling and reusing materials far easier . This all results in building components having a longer succeeding lives in other buildings.
