CONTENTS

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, I have been extremely lucky to have experienced a multitude of people from all walks of life. Through my passion of understanding history and culture, I found design (specifically the built environment) to be the area of focus that would lead me to higher education.

While I am rooted through my love and appreciation for the cityscape, I have embarked on a journey of understanding how the built environment, including urban planning and design, impacts quality of life and influences the birth of cultural practices.

CRESCENDO YEAR 05 Advanced Studio FALL 2020 JEREMY MAGNER Team members: Howard Fugitt Kathryn Parker Renee Adams Zachary Standley

Developed in the midst of unavoidable social and political conflict, "Crescendo" is a single project that is apart of a larger collective dedicated to uncover and understand "conflict." To begin to wrangle the energy of conflict more precisely, the studio examined ways in which conflict appears in different realms. Physical or material conflict we understand in terms of literal, measurable energy and entropy, whereas principles of thermodynamics give us an understanding of how material systems channel conflicting energy differentials toward maximum power. In Social or cultural systems we can understand political or economic power where conflict arises in terms of the consolidation of this power and its resistance to change when confronted with oppositional forces of revolution. Where these two overlap and entangle speaks to the complex relationships between nature and culture and how the work we do as designers can evolve to intervene productively, to liberate more just (as in justice) outcomes in an expanded definition of craft.

Conflict is inevitable. Our program looks to act as a mediator to conflict. Rather than calling for an end or resolution, "Crescendo" uncovers the scales of dialogue that can arise; revealing the resounding roar that can be found in the meek (the base of the crescendo), and understanding the vulnerability of the over exposed (the peak of the crescendo).

MAPPING NARRATIVE UNDERSTANDING THE CHAOS AND USE OF THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SITE IS WHERE WE SHIFTED OUR FOCUS. LOOKING AT THE ACOUSTIC CHAOS OF THE SURROUND TRAFFIC AND TRAINS LOCATED NEAR OUR SITE, AS WELL AS DENSITY AND HOT SPOTS OF ACTIVITY. UPON INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND HUBS AND NODES WITHIN THE FLOW AND TRANSITIONING OF THE SITE'S MOVEMENT. THE HECTIC FLOW OF THE SITE WRITES AN AUDITORY STORY THAT OUR PROGRAM LOOKS TO EXPAND AND UNDERSTAND. THE INDIVIDUAL POLARITIES OF OUR PIECES, WORK TOGETHER, OR AGAINST EACH OTHER, IN A MANNER THAT MIRRORS THE CHAOTIC VIGOR THAT IS EITHER OUTWARDLY PRESENT, OR MORE BASHFUL, IN SPIRIT.

"UTILIZATION" // PHYSICAL MODEL

PROGRAM [ DEFINED ]

Our program consists of four separate spaces that feed off of each other's energy. They seek to create the idea of yin and yang, day and night, or simply, a balanced inverse. The left portion of the project presents itself as a tranquil space used to gather energy that the surrounding site provides (motion, solar, sound, etc) as a supply for the chaotic daytime propulsion testing facility on the right side of the site. This shift from tranquil to chaos creates a crescendo from left to right on the site. Starting as a quiet, tranquil unfiltered atmosphere transitioning to a chaotic filtered space. These ideas of tranquility and chaos would then switch with the transition from day to night resulting in a chaotic space on the left of the site and a tranquil planetarium on the right side of the site. Dusk and dawn act as time keepers for the programmatic ideas in order to maintain the energy flow between the two distinct sides.s.

PROGRAMMATIC VESSEL DESCRIPTION (SIZE, QUANTITY, RELATIONSHIPS) // VOLUME: The volumetric vessels shape the peaks and valleys of the crescendo. Following the natural form of the crescendo, the peaks of the sound waves [positives] elevate the users of the site to the rolling cheers of the site, while the valleys [negative voids] allows the user to wrap themselves in the tranquil whispers created within the bounds of the facade.

"ILLUMINATION" // PHYSICAL MODEL

STRUCTURE [OF MOVEMENT ]

As the Vessels and Containers take on their respective forms, they create their own polarities; negatives and positive. The connections of the negative and positive, Yin and Yang, creates a beautiful balance to which the structure mirrors; directional and rigid. However, in places where polarities match (- , -) (+,+), there is unsettling chaos; repelling and pushing away from each other. In this case the structure transforms into a chaotic form. Combined into a single form, the structure as whole is a depiction of conflict resolution, or instigation.

SEGMENTED SECTION

Naturally, while organizing and developing this project, each member of our five person group unintentionally focused on a single aspect of the program. In order to ensure that each member truly understood the essence and presence of each component of the project, we divided the site into five segments; each person diagramming and drawing a portion that they had not dedicated as much time on previously. This process also allowed us to further understand the theme of studio; "Conflict." By venturing into new territory we each were forced to embrace the uncomfortability that comes with new experiences.

Rhythmic Flow YEAR 04 [Integrations] FALL 2019 MARK DEKAY Partner: Jackson Boyle

"Rhythmic Flow" promotes the notion that in order to thrive in spaces of learning, people ( children in this case) should be in an environment that allows unrestricted movement.

The goal of the studio was to implement methods and techniques found in Biophilic design (the increased connection of occupant and the natural environment in various spatial conditions) to resolve the current issues of spatial limitation and restricted site experience that the existing site presents.

By understanding the current site, an elementary school in Quebec, Canada, studying the positives affects of introducing and implementing nature into the learning environment and analyzing ways in which weather and natural elements (snow piling, cold winds, snow suit storage , etc.) are experienced/changes experiences, the objective of the proposed design was to create a system that allowed students to experience the entirety of the site throughout the day while simultaneously presenting the opportunity for easy and safe direct, or indirect contact with nature.

EXISTING SITE THE EXISTING SITE IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LOCATED IN MONTREAL CANADA THAT CURRENTLY LACKS SUFFICIENT SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ITS STUDENTS TO MOVE THROUGHOUT ITS SITE DURING THE DAY. WHILE EQUIPPED WITH AN OPEN BLACK-TOP, STUDENTS HAVE EXTREMELY LIMITED ACCESS TO THE OUTDOOR SITE DUE TO LENGTHY AND HARSH WINTERS

Hydro Hub YEAR 04 [ROME STUDIO ART URBAIN RESEARCH] SPRING 2020 PROF. FRANCESCA RICARDO

"Hydro Hub" is a full Art Urbain Research Submission that analyzes the layers of the famous Italian district of Flaminio. Once a center for activity and community gathering, the Flaminio District, while still in existence, no longer exhibits a sense of pulsating life and movement.

Through uncovering the layers of the district and studying the natural edges and movement implications of the encompassing Tiber River, Hydro Hub looks to utilize the embankments of the Tiber as spaces for community activity. Much of the research focuses on the notion of "connectivity" that is found at each bridge that transports people in, or away, from the Flaminio District; solidifying the proposal to inhabit the embankments of the river. ***The "Hydro Hub" project spread is in full compliance with the 2019-2020 Concours International Art Urbain France submission rules and regulations.

RO ]hub [ AFTER ]

[ Hydro ]hub is a connective system of architectural

objects that reside at the Tiber level acting as a network of community spaces that house leisure and physical mobility. The Flaminio district is cradled by the Tiber river, but is separated from Foro Italico from this natural edge.

The hubs will blur the edges of the Tiber and transform it into a connective member between both sides. The river currently sits as the lowest level sectionally in comparison to the city level. The sequence to reach the Tiber level starts at the natural edges to the city, from the city to the bridge, and from the bridge, down the embankment to the sub layer beneath it, and ending at the Tiber. Taking inspiration from Ponte della Musica, Ponte Duca D’Aosta, Ponte Milvio, and Costa Francia, Hydro Hub shares the Tiber with these elevated pathways, but takes influence from that of the city figure ground.

SOCIAL [ GATHERING ] is the primary architectural characteristic that each hub will implement. Community members will have open access to the hubs where they will have the chance to enjoy a wide-range of activity.

Each activity will also employ the task of being a tool of education towards the importance of the Tiber.

For example, swimming in the Tiber was once an exciting activity lost to pollution. By implementing an exposed and filtration system, creating an “in-hub” pool/ water feature, participants will be able to learn about water purification and while enjoying a rich tradtion.

REGENERATION YEAR 03 [Interdisciplinary Studio] SPRING 2019

This interdisciplinary studio presented students the opportunity to address architectural interventions within the world of healthcare. Divided into groups, students had the freedom to choose a specific area of intervention at varying scales; the body, the room, the building, site etc . This project looks at how even in death, the human body is vital in the regeneration of a life in jeopardy.

Prof. Liz Teston

"Regeneration" is a multifaceted project that addresses organ donation, extreme poverty, lack of infrastructure, and funerary customs. When studying data on organ donation/transplants/research in several countries, we noticed that Brazil had an estimated 11.41 thousand potential Organ donors. When compared to the estimated data for the U.S. (17.5 thousand organ donors), this number is considerably high, however, only 3.77 thousand of those donors are actually effective. Through intense research, our group was able to identify that extreme levels of poverty and lack of infrastructure considerably contributes to the large number of ineffective donations.

Team Members: Savannah Alfont // Interior Architecture Erica Campbell // Interior Architecture

The proposed design utilizes mausoleums, above-head cable systems for body transportation, and a close proximity research facility accessible for the vulnerable Favela (neighborhood) of Rocinha; all efforts to increase healthcare services that require transplants (or extensive research) to the Favela while simultaneously respecting and preserving current funerary customs.

/ hōm/ ("home") is a project that is apart of a larger studio production; "The Meal." This Second Year studio forced students to analyze the event of the meal, from the table, the dinnerware, guests and much more; all in efforts to further understand the importance of space and user experience. Each student was to take a single element of The Meal and further investigate its importance on a grander scale through the use of found objects, unconventional methodology, and narratives. At the conclusion of the studio, we all were to come together, bringing our findings to the table, ready to consume new perspectives.

Influenced by the increasing numbers of neighborhoods and communities of color lost to gentrification, /hōm/ analyzes the vulnerable and suseptible qualities for at-risk communities. This project focuses on imperfections such as aging or wear and tear; characteristics that are often seen as undesirable to outsiders, however, these qualities are keepers of personal narratives, identities, and memories that are often lost as a result of genetrification.

LINGERING HUNGER Consumption. We consume to relieve our sense of hunger.

When hunger lingers, for those encompassed in greed, the desire to continuously feed the appetite is dangerous for the prey. . For those lacking resources, there is a desire to save; save the small yet and impactful crumbs of every meal, however, there is always the mouth of the predator awating to strike.

Remarks from the chef: This meal serves to allow the consumer to experience contrasting experiences of greed. From the excitment of the gluntonous when encountering an opportunity to feast, to the fear and nakedness of those protecting their rations, the tastebuds of the consumer will embark on a journy of discovery and exposure.

GREED Ingredients: 1 No one ( significant amount of wrinkles) 1 Some one -should be dressed well, but not overly done.

1 old and worn square kitchen table 1 single wall with worn wall paper 1 open window Temperature outside should be 80-90 degrees F. 1 large bowl of peanuts 1 wire fan with tensile on the grate 1 leaky kitchen sink 1 glass

Warped and weary from the undying effort to protect the most beloved and cherished from the harsh elements of the world, the blanket of comfort that is wrapped in such a way that each smooth fiber hugs the unique shape of its tenant.

Alas! There is still life to be had; fueled by the excitement of the unknown future and guided by the memories of The Past. Ah, The Past! A chaotic conglomerate of connectedness and bonds constantly filling the air with a reassuring whisper and scent of nostalgia. As the fascia stretches with the movement of energy in every direction, its fibrous tissues begin to weaken, yet remain intact. Flexible, yet inelastic, the contortionist tendons bend forward and backward, and finally, as two flying trapeze performers soar through the air, meet together and morph into one.

When the blanket becomes tattered and unable to perform as a barrier against the vicious winds, the length of separation becomes too great and each fibers of the fascia begins to snap, and the grip of the trapeze artists are lost, the domicile becomes a void left vulnerable for destruction.

However, together and intact, this is Home.

Minuscule Relief is a diagram of exisiting pantent drawings used to create a visual narrative of the leading effects and causes of loss of place for vulnerable communities of color.

Simply, this diagram shows the exploitation of resources from these communities that, in turn, have little-tono output in return; intensifying its of vulernability.

Some of the defining practices found in the process of gentrification were used to further enforce housing segregation and discrimination. The loss of communities of color, specifically black communities, is nothing short of the continuation of systemic and environmental racism.

“ Every morning Mama kisses me on the forehead and tells me it is time to get up. Her bare feet make soft pats as she leaves the room and heads into the kitchen to get breakfast ready. As I head into the living room for morning cartoons, I stub my toe on my skates. Mama told me to pick them up before someone trips on them.

Each summer The College of Architecture and Design at the University of Tennessee hosts a design summer camp that is open to students ranging from 8th grade to college freshmen. For two weeks, the students of the 2020 Design Summer Camp were challanged to tackle a two week design project while remaining home due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The goal of the camp was to encourage young creatives and potentional designers to explore the idea of how form can influence function and user experience. By studying easily identifiable house-hold objects, students were to create vessels that were able to transform from holding liquids to being inhabited by humans through the understanding of form, section cuts, scale, and programmatic details.

This section includes selected works from students within my section; highlighting the diverse design approaches present amongst these exceptional students.
