spraycube

The spraycube was a design-build project by the students of Joe Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-year studio. Due to the wide spread vandalism of Cowgill + Burchard Halls and its grounds, the School of Architecture + Design at Virginia Tech posted flyers to stop the destruction. In reaction, our studio took the initiative to design a space for the students of the school to spraypaint models in order to preserve our beautiful building. The architectural idea was two C-shaped elements of a cube pulling away from each other to create passageways, areas of light and ventilation all in one design move. This project received recognition in the 2013 Inform Awards for Object Design *

auditorium When designing an auditorium and performance space, these are two critical aspects to focus on. The ethos of a performance space can ultimately alter the show for the worst if the design is not effective. The design goal of this project was to create two very contrasting zones: (1) a controlled daylit performance space and (2) a dark room for smaller, lecture-based activities. The thickened walls allow for circulation to be hidden from the program, yet celebrated as magnificent light wells. The roof trusses span between these elements through thestage and gathering space elements.

My design goal aimed at creating an open-plan classroom with all of the services housed in three structural elements. This allowed for the freedom of movement and the maximization of daylight. n

The Aerogel-filled polycarbonate created the sense of curtain glass, while still respecting privacy, thermal comfort and direct solar gain.

A big emphasis on this project was passive systems. The floor slab is intended to act as a thermal mass and collect solar gain throughout the day and release that warmth at later hours in the day. Teamed with a radiant floor system, the floor becomes a habitable workspace for the students, not simply the floor beneath their feet.

With the addition of the triple glazed sliding glass panel doors, heat loss was effectively cut by 37%. The built-in shades of this assembly allows for additional protection against sun glare and privacy from the outside.

As Brooklyn, New York continues on its upward spiral, the need for revitalization in certain areas is critical to the boroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. Because of the lack of public education and community buildings, a media center was a reasonable choice in program. Through the creation of a unique facade, that also composes the main structure of the building, it allows people to become interested in the building and enter with the intention of exploration.

This studio environment was teamed with Virginia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Design Research, with a wide variety of resources at our disposal. With digital fabrication as the forefront of our design process, we were to design a light screen. The idea was to combine a new technology of 3D printing with an old process of pouring concrete. Through this process and other digital fabrication (ie CNC milling) many forms can be easily manufactured to create complex concrete shapes. The modularity of these blocks then come together to create a scaleless wall system of many applications.

The trend of education has gradually shifted towards a more hands-on experience of learning, evolving from the all-lecture tradition. In order to cater to these growing trends, schools need to incorporate higher levels of interaction within the school building, either through renovation or innovative design.

Creating schools that are using up-todate technology prepares the students to use these same instruments in the work place. The exponential growth of mobile technology allows the classroom to become a dynamic space for children to learn, rather than being lectured to. App creators + educators are teaming up to create a user-controlled learning experience that can be taken anywhere the student desires.

Cooperative learning methods improve students’ time on tasks and intrinsic motivation to learn, as well as students’ interpersonal relationships + expectations for success. The collaboration between different disciplines forces students to multiple modes of thinking. This provides students with a holistic learning experience. The connection between the school and surrounding community provides students with resources about contemporary work that is being done in fields that interest them. Allowing the community to be a stakeholder in the school building also helps to get them invested in education process.

CLUSTER COMMUNITY SPACES

Children who sit in the middle rows are the highest participating and the second most attentive group. Being surrounded by other students allows them to feel safe, which makes them more likely to participate.

Throughout the United States’ history, wartime has brought about major advancements in technology. The same can be seen in recent years. The increase of mobile technology for the public was in part due to the necessity for soldiers to have vast amounts of intelligence at hand at any time.

ECONOMIC BOOM

Now, with the high availability of cell phones and tablets, technology is becoming an integral part of the lives of most people. Having such an immense amount of information at their fingertips allows people to access information from anywhere at any time. Work is accomplished from home, emails are answered while on vacation, and classes can be taken from universities around the world for free with the use of websites like coursera.org.

The Netherlands announced the opening of eleven all iPad schools by Fall 2013*, and in hopes of forty more the following year. This marks the shift to a total hands-on learning experience.

STEM schools will become an essential part of educating and motivating children to these much needed jobs at an early age.

This begins to pose the question of what the school of the 21st century now becomes.

Having the teacher’s desk positioned on the side of the room promotes student-teacher collaboration. Students now approach the teacher from the “corner” position instead of the “competitive” position.

Learning a subject that is considerably occupying allows the brain to connect dissimilar thoughts to create an “outside the box” solution.

A study done by Alan CK Cheung + Robert E. Slavin of Johns Hopkins University compared classrooms that use technology versus those that do not. They found that implementing some form of technology in classrooms has a positive effect on learning, with the effect increasing as more technology is used.

Because schools are so closely connected to society, technology, teaching pedagogy, ect, they now must house many different styles of learning in order to cater to a vast spectrum of students. The new concept of a multi zone school allows for multiple ways of teaching and learning to occur simultaneously to foster a truly interactive school. The high level of collaboration prepares students for the work place of the 21st century.

While education has changed immensely over the last 400 years, and continues to do so at an ever-increasing pace, the school building often fails to keep up. However, with recent advancements in technology, the lag time between societal changes and educational changes is now almost completely eliminated. Schools are no longer sacred buildings where all knowledge is kept. They will now shift toward social learning hubs where connections can be made and collaboration can happen. These buildings will allow for the highest levels of learning to occur; connecting the school, the community, and the world. Having a client-centered design that takes into account their individual response to each of the filters will allow for a school that is not only a beautiful space, but also somewhere that brings out the full potential of the students that inhabit it.

AUTHENTIC LEARNING With the use of touch tablets and motion sensor technology, such as the iPad and Xbox Kinect, highly interactive learning can be achieved. Gesture-based learning allows students to have intuitive control of real world scenerios while simultaneously initiating group sharing and collaboration.

STEM SCHOOLS PROLIFERATE

LEARNING ANALYTICS New technologies allow teachers to have instant feedback of student progress. Teachers can then use this data to alter a student’s learning experience. This mass customization of learning calls for fluid and flexible cirruculum as well as highly trained teachers. Johnson, L., Brown, M., Adams, S.
