The following pages document a series of architectural proposals and design exercises completed during my undergraduate career at the University of Kentucky and my ongoing experiences at UNStudio in Amsterdam. The work was conducted under various formats exploring multiple design conventions and mediums. The intention of this works volume is to develop a evolving resource of personal design interests and to reflect on various modes of design practice and architectural discourse.

INTRODUCTION

LAND OF TOMORROW Course_Design STUDIO IV Instructor_Rives RASH Term_Fall 2011

Land of Tomorrow Gallery (LOT) is a project space created to facilitate the making and showing of experimental work in the fields of art, design, and music in Kentucky. The project sought to utilize LOT’s business model to propose a creative mixed-use high-rise in the heart of the East End of Lexington. Creative businesses including LOT (Land of Tomorrow), PR&vD (Parrish Rash & van Dissel) and proposed LAA (Lexington Art Academy) would begin to establish a creative center in the declining region and initiate economic and social growth.

LAND OF TOMORROW

CONTEXT

East End site

Third Street

Main Street

Downtown HISTORY The East End Neighborhood is home to a diverse population and possesses many opportunities given its rich historical background, cultural value, and location within Lexington. Just north and east of Downtown, the East End originally grew at the end of the American Civil War. The East End was a thriving, prominent Black community within Lexington until the mid-1960s when the outward growth of the city caused a decline in population and loss of many businesses to other neighborhoods throughout Lexington. Today, the East End totals approximately 387 acres and is home to 3,940 residents and many PROTOTYPE businesses and industries. All of these1.2 factors contribute to the historical and cultural value of the East End while simultaneously providing ideal circumstances for neighborhood revitalization and redevelopment.

INTRODUCTION

OFFICE STUDIO TAIPEI (SELECTED WORK) Course_Design STUDIO II Instructor_Mike MCKAY Term_Fall 2010

OFFICE STUDIO is an experimental design studio set-up as an office that attempts to utilize current communication and data softwares (Skype, Dropbox, GOTOMEETING) as an alternative method of design teaching in contemporary practice.

The premise of the studio focused on rehibilating an abandoned train-depot station in the heart of Taipei. The studio was organized in three parts: research, charrette, and design. The initial research focused on creating a catalogue of design methodology and intelligence through autonomous design models that can be later applied in different design situations. The second component of the studio was a 10-day charrette held in Taiwan in collaboration with Hong Kong University and the National Taichung University in Taiwan. Meetings and tours with vital government officials and local collaborations allowed a deeper understanding of the site and the city. Utilizing this knowledge with our design models, we developed a series of proposals that took advantage of current buildings within the site as well as introducing new linking structures to create a social ground respecting the past and celebrating current culture.

INTRODUCTION

AWESOME INC Course_Design STUDIO II Instructor_Mike MCKAY Term_Fall 2010

Founded in 2009, Awesome Inc. exists to establish and grow high tech, creative, and entrepreneurial companies and communities. By day, Awesome Inc. serves as a co-working space for creative and technical professionals. By night, the space is transformed into a dance studio, art gallery, event venue, and creative laboratory. The studio examinded two programmatic conditions: value-added (a new condition created from the collision of two separate programs) and added programs (singular-desirable programs). The culmination of these two strategies offered a unique opportunity to restructure Awesome Inc. and produce a space that would serve their diverse range of creative uses.

The use of offsetting can produce new programmatic conditions. Large offsets define entirely new spaces (added-values). Medium offsets allow transitions between spaces. Small offests shape the current spaces, allowing lighting conditions and complexity to seep into particular spaces.

INTRODUCTION

INCUBATE-KENTUCKY Course_Design STUDIO II Instructor_Mike MCKAY Term_Fall 2010

Business incubators are programs designed to support the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts.

The algae production incubator accomodates and supports five independent algae entrepreneurial startups in the commercialization of their algae research. The process of commercialization involves pursuing research to prove algae bioreactor system feasibility, transitioning a technological equipment or process innovation into a business, promoting algae research, and connecting algaepreneurs with investors.

INCUBATE.KY is a proposed research collaborative for the state of Kentucky. Through the development and promotion of algae incubation, the collaborative aims at resolving coal station C02 emmissions within the state and establishing an economic agenda for Kentucky’s environmental future.

Course_Design STUDIO VII (TRAVEL STUDIO) Instructor_Kyle MILLER Term_Summer 2011 Team_Benjamin KOLDER, Melissa LONG, Kyle MCGRATH

The primary objective of the studio is to prototype re-programming and design solutions for recently abandoned buildings (Post CS and GAK Building) in Amsterdam. The central theme of rehabilitation will be activated by a more theoretical approach to programming an existing space and supported by a conceptual design approach that is backed and steered by a desire to create comprehensive, sophisticated, autonomous, TEXTURED design solutions. The programming efforts will seek to integrate potent public programs and living spaces. We will focus of the design of a new, performative building skin that will become the primary visual motivator of this urban rehabilitation project. In addition to the efforts in reprogramming and developing a new building envelope, we will design new interior spaces that reactive this structure.

Augmented SURFACE is a prototypical exploration in responsive architecture. A scaled, operative model makes use of both parametric software (Grasshopper and Firefly) and interactive hardware (Arduino board) that engage rotational servo motors. Spindles attach eight (8) motors pulling wire attached to a pliable fabric. Slider adjustments produce subtle and drastic surface deformations. Architectural applications include spatial division and aggregated systems of air ventilation and light penetration. Moving forward, the project seeks to engage a complete spatial volume.

The project is conceived in two main scales.

Architectural applications can apply the surface as a sub-divider of spaces, while it can also be invisioned at the scale of a building skin acting as an intelligent shading device.

The action of a sneeze produces multiple involuntary actions in the human body. Through the study of a time-lapsed sneeze, a relationship between facial contraction and expansion emerges. A spatial model was created with a series of interlocking slip joints. When contracted, the lines respond to each other to create an adaptive linear form. A revised model tests the system’s ability to manipulate three-dimensional space.

A gradient of compressed and expanded spaces offers a design model void of scale and connotation that can be applied to any application.

The urban settlement of Den Helder is located at the north side of the old Noord Holland region. Historically, Den Helder has always been a harbor getaway for customs, army and a safe gate-way for Amsterdam. The Army has played a predominant role over the past centuries in its socioeconomical development. Today, the town of Den Helder is facing a shrinking population. Among 40 to 60 families leave the town per year.

This behavior is a strong interpretation of the lack of interest of their inhabitants to live in the village city centre, including the arm itself, who is reconsidering to reposition their location.

HET NIEU WE DIEP

Introducing a dunescape scenario on the existing water defense line of Den Helder will bring a new landscape typology that will reinvent the city by changing the way people experience & perceive their city in relation to the water. Rethinking how to build on top of a dike inside the legal framework of the dutch laws can redefine the city as an attractive area to live and prosper. This workshop sought to study and test the different capacities of a specific area along the water line. The outcome generated a series of build up typologies that produced a wider catalogue for a new vision for a Den Helder dunescape scenario.

Course_Translations WORKSHOP SERIES Course Instructor_Kyle MILLER Workshop Instructor_Adam FURE, Aaron WILLETTE Term_Spring 2012 Team_Joe CAVALLO, Alex CULLER, Benjamin KOLDER, Laura MATTINGLY

This workshop expands the discourse on materials and making by linking up digital protocols (scripting, CNC fabrication, self-similar patterning) with exotic and unwieldy materials. The material palette is foreign, forcing the development of novel potentials out of seemingly strange matter. Initial experimentation focused on the material’s latent tendencies to aggregate (how it naturally bundles, bunches, bends, and folds). Testing, recording, and codifying techniques of assembly ultimately coerced the unwieldy matter into working systems of aggregation supported by cellular substructures. Avoiding a fundamentalist attitude towards the use of these materials, the use of burning, painting, and smothering extended their possible qualitative effects. There was no material essenses sought, only evocative textures, colors, and forms that offer up new associations and sensations.

This workshop explores the potential of non-modular egg-crate construction to produce dynamic forms and spaces. Using Grasshopper, first in 2D and then through oblique and distorted extrusions, we followed by carving away voids from the resulting semi-solid matrix. The ambition is to produce a ‘curved’ spatiality of shifting size, proportion and orientation, without a single curving component.

This workshop explores a series of translations from physical explorations of color, texture, affect and space to vectoral mappings. Using parametric tooling, relationships between different zones and densities begins to reveal inherent logics within complex landscapes. Such information can begin to offer strategies for designing within complex topographies.

ASTANA EXPO 2017 Office_UNStudio Principle_Ben van Berkel Role_Assistant Designer

The next World Expo will be held in Astana, Kazakhstan in 2017. The expo’s goal is to create a site that will create a legacy for the city by providing new housing, offices, commercial facilities and research laboratories for the betterment of the area. Astana strives to use the Expo as a generator for bringing healthy and prosperous business to a growing and upcoming international city.

A network of landscaped roofscapes provide framework for the exposition. Pavilions weave through this network and lead to the Kazakhstan Pavilion, a symbol of progress and growth. Park space dominates the expo site, which can evolve into a commercial district with the construction of office and residential towers once the project is complete. Floating wind turbines, tethered to the ground, work to generate energy for the site.

INTRODUCTION

BAKU WHITE CITY_2 Office_UNStudio Principle_Ben van Berkel Role_Assistant Designer

The requirement of designing a retail block on this location gave us freedom to propose a strong but genuine character. Our research in the urban context of the design showed a mix of different influences on street level. Big entrances on the boulevard, small retail connected to the residential area on the side streets, the rich use of green and the strict parking regulations to make sure streets will look clean. Next to this we looked at climatic and topographical variations in the landscape and we studied the historical roots and influences on art and architecture in Azerbaijan.

In our conceptual approach we emphasize the layers in the sequence of historical periods of buildings in Baku, in carpets and tapestries which show the craftsmanship of the regions inhabitants and in the development of Baku’s population, with a vast array of nationalities and therefore intensive communication.

White City has some planned landmarks in its master plan and in the development of our design we respect these. UNStudio wants to enhance the development of White City’s urban ‘feel’ and uses an international architectural language referring to local requirements. An architectural language that reacts on the regions influences in all scales; large and in detail. We use the urban orientation of the retail block as the location prescribes. By framing the retail program and using bigger elements in the facades we direct the people in the public area and give them clear orientation. A double facade consisting out of glass and ceramic tiling takes care of heat load in the building but also breaks the wind as to dilute it before reaching the pavement. This way we create a modern and comfortable urban environment.

FACADE DEVELOPMENT

BAKU WHITE CITY 2_FACADE Office_UNStudio Principle_Ben van Berkel Role_Assistant Designer

The skin is specially designed for this location and refers to the local ancient crafts of ceramics and patterning. We envision a perfect detailed, finely carved ceramic facade consisting out of only 6 open and closed units which, by placing them systematic and carefully arranged, result in an overwhelming composition. A skin which is semitransparent, which reflects sunlight by being glazed and which protrudes the program from behind it. From outside it will look like an attractive and wonderfully mysterious volume, which after dusk shimmers through the interior light. From inside the skin will appear as a diffused soft veil which the sun and the view on the city will penetrate. It will be the backdrop for the simple but elegant interior.

We researched extensively the constraints ceramic elements have.

They have a huge cumulative character, absorbing heat as almost no other material. They have a high tolerance in flexibility under temperature loads but also earthquake movement. And if glazed it is extremely wearable and will last for 100 years or more. It is the most sustainable material for this region available, it is extremely economic and it looks really fantastic in our design.

INTRODUCTION

BAKU WHITE CITY_3 Office_UNStudio Principle_Ben van Berkel Role_Facade development

The requirement of designing a multi-tenant office block on this location gave us freedom to propose a strong but genuine character. Our research in the urban context of the design showed the necessity of a strong geometry and a relation to the drastic difference (roughly 7m.) in height on the front and back side of the plot. Along Nobel Avenue the so-called Gateway building makes a strong urban gesture, two plots down also the twin buildings and the bridge are making a strong mark along the Avenue. This plot is right in between and should be able to carry and respect both its neighbours. The length of the plot was reduced by creating the main entrance with a plaza on the West, away from the Avenue. At the same time we suggest the volume floats above ground level and we created an elegant curving roof line, accentuating the west entrance and its relation to the Gateway building. In the composition of this volume we looked at climatic and topographical variations in the landscape and we studied the historical roots and influences on art and architecture in Azerbaijan.

In our conceptual approach we emphasize the layers in the sequence of historical periods of buildings in Baku, in carpets and tapestries which show the craftsmanship of the regions inhabitants and in the development of Baku’s population, with a vast array of nationalities and therefore intensive communication. White City has some planned landmarks in its master plan and in the development of our design we respect these. UNStudio wants to enhance the development of White City’s urban ‘feel’ and uses an international architectural language referring to local requirements. An architectural language that reacts on the regions influences in all scales; large and in detail. We use the urban orientation of the office block as the location prescribes. By lifting the office volume from ground level we can play with the different heights in the terrain and make the retail ground floor a transition layer. A cassette facade consisting out of mainly glass and some ceramics takes care of heat load in the building but also breaks the wind as to dilute it before reaching the pavement. The entrances to the shops are set back a bit as to make portico’s.

This way we create a modern and comfortable urban environment.

FACADE DEVELOPMENT

The facade is specially designed for this location and refers to the local ancient crafts of cutting stone and patterning. We envision a perfect detailed, finely designed glass cassette facade consisting of units which, by placing them systematic and careful, result in an overwhelming composition. A skin which is transparent, semi-transparent and which, by adding the right mix of reflective, colourful and absorbing foils, reflects sunlight and which protrudes the program from behind it. From outside it will look like an attractive and dynamic volume, which from every angle, and during course of daytime, will change its looks to the outside. From inside the skin will appear as a series of bay windows which will create different spaces along its perimeter. It will be the backdrop for a simple but elegant interior. The glazed cassettes are units that can be prefabricated, coded and installed. The technic to establish the right detailing should be with silicone seams, structural glazing. An inner steel/aluminium frame bears the cassettes and transfers load bearing forces to the concrete floor slabs. The steel frame consists of an inner primary structure and a secondary finer structure that holds the glass. On the outside we envision bolted small ceramic elements to soften the sharp edges of the cassettes and to relate to the use of ceramic along Nobel Avenue.
