Austin Independent School District (AISD)

rosedale school

The Rosedale School serves a population of approximately 100 learners with diverse, overlapping, and significant special needs.

Learners range in age from 3 years to 22 years and communicate in a variety of ways: verbally in English and Spanish and nonverbally using sign language, specialized switches, and music.

Rosedale School learners are considerably more conscious to the sensory conditions of their environment than learners at a traditional school. Therefore, the sensory experience is an incredibly important part of their educational experience. This project involves the relocation of the Rosedale School’s current campus to a new site, replacing an existing Pre-K Building.

The new facility will accommodate adequate space for collaboration, specialized instruction, community connection, federally mandated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) required clearances, and specialized storage requirements.

Project Overview: Size: 75,550 SF Location: Austin, TX Budget: $36M Client: Austin Independent School District (AISD) Design features: Creating a sense of place by incorporating unique qualities of Austin in the design; Connecting outdoor areas directly to the learning environment; Engaging the learners’ tactile senses by using different materials; Creating a safe place to express self.

Saint Philip’s College (SPC)

bowden building

The Bowden building is intended as a replacement facility for the existing academic programs and the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) office located in the existing Bowden building on the SPC Campus. In addition to the relocated existing functions, the new building will provide new teaching laboratory spaces for programs in Computer Maintenance Technology, IT Network Administration, and IT Cybersecurity. The two-story design features a large open lobby with convenient entrances to both the VITA suite and the Dean’s suite as well as a wide open stair up to 2nd level. Faculty offices are located along the window wall facing MLK St. The second level includes the five Networking Computer Labs and their associated Server rooms, a Computer Classroom, and the Technology Integration Lab. On both floors, the restrooms are located near the back of the main corridor for convenience yet unobtrusive access, and the elevator is located near the main stair landing. The simple, efficient layout provides for easy policing of corridors by College staff, logical wayfinding, and opportunities for informal study seating throughout the building.

Project Overview: Size: 28,870 SF Location: San Antonio, TX Budget: $10M Client: Saint Philip’s College (SPC) Design features: Increased natural light by incorporating large open lobby; Easy circulation and wayfinding Principal-in-charge: Robert Burke Project Manager: Franklyn King Project Architects: Daniel Khalighinejad

Portland Public Schools modernization

grant high school

The goal of this project was to modernize Grant High School and to create an inclusive learning environment that fosters strong, productive relationships among students, teachers, and the community. Creating inspiring, flexible spaces honored the history while supporting student’s success in college, career, and life. Throughout this project, a Design Advisory Group (DAG), consisting of students, alumni, staff, parents and other members of the community, were involved to help the design team to understand what the initial priorities should be for the Grant High School renovation. The project questioned what makes a school healthy, both physically and emotionally.

Project Overview: Size: 315,000 SF Location: Portland, OR Budget: $81M Client: Portland Public Schools (PPS) Design features: Increased natural light, ventilation; improved circulation and campus wayfinding; respect existing building fabric; facilitate learning everywhere, support a wide range of learning styles, reinforce positive relationships, foster creativity, and inquiry Principal-in-charge: Diane Shiner Project Manager: Alyssa Leeviraphan Project Architects: JoAnn Wilcox, Rene Berndt

the DML Wilmington-Stroop branch construction

dayton metro library

The new Dayton Metro Library (DML), Wilmington-Stroop branch, was intended to be the “living room” of the community, a place to interact, share, and connect. The facility was intended to celebrate the bold and innovative spirit of DML as a nexus of engagement that encourages active learning, civic engagement, and a strong sense of place. In addition, the branch provides a place of safety and opportunity for all generations. The architectural approach of the Wilmington-Stroop branch library was organized around the marketplace to embody this innovative community nexus, both in form and function.

The marketplace or “main street” of the library was articulated as a wide, high bay space, running north to south with the entrance on the north side to promote visitors coming from all directions through all modes of transportation.

Project Overview: Size: 21,000 SF Location: Dayton, OH Client: Dayton Metro Library (DML) Design features: LEED Gold certification, encourage pedestrian travel, safe place for the community, Outdoor courtyards.

Adult’s and Children’s area The two traditional library destinations – the Adult’s and Children’s areas – are housed in lower rectilinear “boxes” that interact the high bay space on the east and west. The Teen area, located to the east of the marketplace, will be set off from the Adult and Children areas to promote their budding independence as young adults. The physical interactions of the Adult, Children and Teen areas with the marketplace should be highlighted with a change in floor material and be the location of special collections and new materials. All other library spaces, such as the Opportunity space, Meeting Room, Group study rooms, and Support/Staff spaces, will be located within either the east or west low rectilinear “boxes.”

Courtyard A secure courtyard will be provided on the east side of the building and will be accessible from the Opportunity Space and the Children’s area.

Fencing will be GREENscreen to allow for climbing plants to soften and screen the courtyard.

A raised seating area is proposed for casual outdoor reading or story time.

Beavercreek City School renovation

design thinking lab

The goal of this project was to create an environment to promote collaboration and creative approach to solving problems. The Design thinking approach starts from an empathy for users to uncover their actual needs we want to address. It follows with defining the key issues needed to be solved. Design thinking consequently takes iterative cycles of brainstorming (Ideate), prototyping and testing.

City of Isfahan’s farmers’ market

entrance gate

This entrance gate was created as an entry for a design competition held by Isfahan municipality for the city of Isfahan’s farmers’ market, located outside the city. The design won the competition, and the project was carried out the following year. The law of supply and demand, which is the foundation of economics, was used as an inspiration for the form of the gate. Each wing represents one of two concepts of supply and demand and the tendency of a free market to bring them in equilibrium.

A redesign project in Ketchum, ID

urban adaptation

The goal of this project was to design a place that would increase the sense of community in Ketchum, Idaho. The existing Café was re-designed to function as a restaurant and bar. The focus of this project was to preserve Ketchum’s heritage while considering the modernist aesthetic factors in design. The outcome would increase the social connection between the residents of Ketchum by creating a dialog between the architecture and its context.

Ten Mile Creek Ranch, Lewiston, ID

rural cabin

The rural cabin project was designed for a client with a significant amount of undeveloped riverfront property in Lewiston, ID. The project required overall planning and site development for placing 6-12 rural living units on the site.

The cabin design evolved out of the concept of integrating the natural landscape into the design to minimize its disturbance.

St. Augustine’s Catholic Center, Moscow, ID

daylighting redesign

St. Augustine Catholic Center is a circular chapel, with an 84 feet diameter, located on the University of Idaho’s main campus in Moscow, ID. It consists of pure concrete walls and a 72-foot conical roof covered with cedar shakes shingles. The aim of this project was to redesign the building to enhance the natural lighting within. This church possesses an iconic form, but the interior failed to inspire much in the way of spirituality. The only openings in the building are small perimeter windows which do not allow for much natural lighting. In redesigning the building, the cone was used to diffusely illuminate the church. The new skylight and light shelf allowed shafts of light to penetrate inside while fixed louvers blocked the direct sun. The newly lighted area will create a much more open and spiritual space for the church.

Center for Forest Nursery and Seedling research

pitkin nursery research center

The goal of this project was to design a world-class building for Pitkin Forest Nursery and Seeding Research Center located east of Moscow, ID. One of the focuses of this project was to explore the creative and innovative use of Idaho forest products. The design for the Pitkin Nursery Research Center expanded the use of light, which was inspired by how light plays through the trees in a forest while also providing the user with glimpses of activity.

Highlight Idaho Forest Products + Contrasting the natural warmth and variety of wood against the solid, cool nature of concrete. + Uses for Idaho forest products range from the structure, finish material, decking, furniture, and louver systems.

Spatial Relationships + Upon entering, the user is presented with views of activity and spaces within the building before reaching their destination. + The entry consists of a learning center and access to the central corridor leading to Living Machine, Flex Space and Classroom on the south, along with Seed/Salesroom and services on the North. The end of the corridor opens up to an open work environment.

interior perspective

Outdoor Space + Four courtyards encompass the building, creating a flow of space outside which relates to activity and space inside gardens, water pools, and planters with built-in benches.

Consequently, this creates an inviting space to become engaged with the outdoor environment.

Sustainability + An on-going effort to reduce the energy consumption of buildings by promoting passive strategies for design. + Strategies include natural daylighting, stormwater management, wastewater management, solar energy, and natural ventilation. + Utilizing renewable Idaho Forest Products has become one of the largest sustainable strategies incorporated into the new Pitkin Nursery Learning Facility.

& common space tobuildfacilitate community

This research investigates several aspects of spatial usage and its ability to facilitate interaction and build community. This research helps to maximize the required programmed space on campuses to facilitate interaction and build community on campus. The research reflects gathering patterns and social behavior that span generations and demographics to form a fundamental understanding of the use of space. This research started with a study of an individual’s perceived spatial boundaries as they relate to one’s environment and others, and led to the 5 types of common spaces. All of this is in service of designing better spaces for students and staff that enhance the existing dynamic social environment on campus. Ultimately, this will lead to increased student attraction and retention, and to increase values of the campus experience through a student’s educational journey and beyond. The rings that indicate perceived spatial boundaries as they relate to one’s environment and others, was first coined

by Edward T. Hall in his study of proxemics in 1963.

5 TYPES OF COMMON SPACE

The proxemic rings are guidelines based on general tendencies but are fundamental to designing the 5 types of common space that facilitate interaction and build community.

QUIET

COMMUNAL

CASUAL

INTERACTIVE

The Quiet space is an acoustically controlled space that promotes introspection. This space often has an intimate scale reflected by the gatherings that take place there.

The ‘Quiet’ attendee gathers in the personal zone but maintains a buffer from others nearby. Quiet should not be confused with silence.

The Communal space is a lively environment that openly accommodates a variety of activities.

This space is a bustle of movement, sound, and interaction. Individuals can come with a group or can seek one out here, enabling them to become part of the broader community. This space allows for the exploration of people and groups.

It is typically best suited for larger gatherings, so grab a beverage, meet someone new, and enjoy the Communal space.

The Casual space is an unstructured environment that promotes relaxation and comfort. The Casual attendee searches out a comfortable spot and takes refuge for an indeterminate period of time. The unstructured or sometimes informal environment can help make this space inviting, which is typically adjacent to circulation and activity.

Small groups may take advantage of this space for solace or discussion.

The Interactive common space is one of connectivity through active or passive engagement. Various size groups congregate and seek space they can adapt to suit the need of their task. The group engages in a variety of ways, but the activity is the primary focus. Compared to a quiet space, a moderate level of ambient noise here can enhance brainstorming and focus on creative tasks.

The Seasonal common space is all about enjoying the natural environment. The Seasonal space attendee is engaged by the change of pace from the accustomed interior space. Whether an individual or a group, most activities are enriched by the dynamic environment.

SPATIAL QUALITIES OF QUIET SPACE Acoustics This is not a silent space, but acoustically controlled. Whether open or isolated, there are various ways to mediate sound.

(Target design level of 30-60 decibels to promote clear audibility without interefering with neighbors)

Views The ability to see outside can create a sense of release and comfort while in a quiet space

Daylight Proper illuminance and distribution is more important for smaller spaces that may have focused tasks like reading.

(Light levels at 20-100 Footcandles)

Temperature This is especially important in smaller spaces with sedentary activities and prolonged occupation. (General comfort range at 68-77 °F)

Scale Quiet spaces require careful consideration of space size to make it comfortable and enjoyable. A smaller setting in a larger space is inviting and comfortable for an individual or small group.

SPATIAL QUALITIES OF COMMUNAL SPACE Acoustics It is beneficial for sounds to fill a communal space. The space should have a mix of reflective and absorbtive materials.

(Target design levels of 50-80 decibels create energy and mask private conversations. Conversation at 3 ft. is measured at around 60 decibels)

Daylight The exposure to daylight connects the inside and outside of the space and increases the open feeling.

Activation Physical movement in a communal space is beneficial, but it should not overpower the experience. It can be described in terms of intensity and distance.

Visual connection This quality allows one to observe the communal space before entering. It also creates a “see and be seen� atmosphere that can visually connect all people in the space.

Visual stimulation This quality is dependent on light and changes in a space. Visual stimulation is influenced by many factors and is beneficial to creating a lively energetic space

SPATIAL QUALITIES OF CASUAL SPACE Visual connection The ability to see into a casual space is important to assess it’s availability and immediately know how you will use the space.

Scale Casual should be comfortable, and the proper scale of a space can be the first step in creating a successful casual space.

Temperature This is especially important in smaller spaces with sedentary activities and prolonged occupation. (General comfort range at 68-77 °F)

SPATIAL QUALITIES OF INTERACTIVE SPACE Visual connection Engagement with an activity must first occur passively. This quality is essential for successful interactive space.

Activation Influx of people in and around the Interactive Space ensures the possibilities of creating community and passive engagement.

Visual stimulation Changing physical and visual elements within the Interactive space draws attention, engagement and helps create energy.

SPATIAL QUALITIES OF SEASONAL SPACE Daylight Outside daylight is a given, but we should consider enhancing its positives while mitigating negatives like glare.

Temperature There is an opportunity to extend the outdoor season by tempering and enhancing natural conditions. General comfort range at 68-77 °F can be heavily changed by air movement, direct sunlight, humidity, etc.

Views In a seasonal space, it’s important to have views to its interior counterparts and/or vistas extending beyond the space.

The publication ECHOS synthesize the work done at the University of Cincinnati, School of Architecture and Interior Design, marked by moments of compression and release in our curriculum, which revolves around traditional semester-long sessions and co-op (curriculum-based paid internships) semesters.

Through intentionally dissonant at times, our program reinforces the relentless belief that the profession and academia do not need to build on one another in redundancy to reinforce each other. This publication provides an intimate look at our students’ intricate path at the School of Architecture and interior Design, emphasizing our unique approach to research and practical experience. Co-op semesters at weave with a year-round schedule of highly theoretical, experimental, and consequently research-based courses. All of our top-ranked interior design and architecture undergraduate and graduate programs complete a thesis or capstone research project, giving each student the opportunity to develop an intimate body of work.

Various constellations chart our diverse academic and social interactions that revolve around the book’s five main themes: anxiety, praxis, trope, chreod, and utopia. Introduced by a series of analytical diagrams which are paired up with essays by lead figures in the discipline who have critically shaped the school at some point in time, the themes expand on the issues of theoretical anxiety, architectural discourse, practice, typology, analogies, and ad hoc morphologies inherent to research. Flux and efflux return each disruption to steady trajectory similar to the academic cycle of compression and release generated by the real-world realities of the co-op program and the fictitious and idealistic nature of the academic studio.

Anxiety collects and synthesizes among multiple contradicting theories entertaining with equanimity various solutions to design problems. Praxis looks at outcomes - may those be physical, prototypical, digital or analog, multi-dimensional and multi-media, spoken, written or unwritten - as well as working methodologies that shape design thinking.

begins to map out trends, emergent ideologies, and previously non-denominational design expressions. Chreod documents and interprets field conditions, rule-based processes, issues of transgressions, non-smooth and nomadic entities which cut across arbolic-like divisions.

Utopia, while suspending various otherwise necessary constraints, allows for a euphoric and optimistic view of the world, with the goal of envisioning daring possibilities otherwise unimaginable. Utopia, therefore, foreshadows all other themes.
