MARITIME MAKERS ARCH 485 // 2016 WINTER - 2016 SPRING INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT–PORTLAND’S MAKERS SPACE CRITIC: PROFESSOR NANCY CHENG The Willamette River, a major tributary of the Columbia River, served as an important piece of history and development of Portland. The river was a critical transportation route in the 19th Century, it is also part of the Willamette Valley, which is one of the most fertile agricultural regions in North America. To celebrate this natural resource, the best way is to experience it firsthand - to sail on it. Maritime Makers aims to provide a portal for people to learn and get in touch with the river, either learn about it or create tools that will help them to experience it. The building will provide an indoor wooden boat makers space for the public, a museum that is dedicated to the Willamette River, a Maritime Scientific Research Laboratory, some office spaces and an observation deck.

METAMORPHIC ARCH 484 // 2015 FALL INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT–EVOLO COMPETITION CRITIC: PROFESSOR NANCY CHENG Located at the south of China and in the middle of the Pearl River Delta area, Shenzhen is a fast growing city with a population of 12.5 million. The population is forecast to increase in the next few decades, which will in turn increase the need for new social infrastructures and facilities, pollution will be a huge issue in this fast-growing city too. In this project, the main idea is to create a temporary community that can sustain itself, so that people can move in when the severely polluted “Old Cities” are being cleaned up and healing in a futuristic time. These structures are able to grow and spread out to connect with other similar structures to adapt to an ever-growing community. The supporting areas are divided into five different sections, each have its own configuration and functions, together, they will help sustain a community.

STELLARIS ONE ARCH 484 // 2014 FALL INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT–EVIL VILLAIN HIDEAWAY CRITIC: PROFESSOR STEPHEN DUFF Located at the Northwest coast of the Pyramid Lake, Nevada, Stellaris One is surrounded by mountains at three sides and a lake (190 sq miles) in front of it. These natural barriers and its remote location provide a safe and secure spot for the client who do not wish to be disturbed by the outer world. The nearest city, Reno, NV, is located 60 miles away, which makes this area a place free of light pollution, and thus an excellent location for astronomers and stars-observers. The lake is famous for its tufa formation, other tufa formation can be found near the area such as Mono Lake, California as well. Since the Pyramid Lake is remotely located, there are not much visitors all year around, which allows the client to enjoy the tranquility of the lake privately. Stellaris One can be reached by driving along the Pyramid Hwy (445) then a distance of off-road at the end or by air.

MAC BLOCK 7 ARCH 484 // 2015 WINTER INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT - MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT CRITIC: PROFESSOR LANDRY SMITH MAC Block 7 is a development project aims to create a multi-use building that fits into the community, providing a cafe and a multi-function hall that will be used by the public, and around 170 residential apartments and 30 hotel rooms. It will also provide parking for both the residents and the members of the Club. This building is part of the new extension of the Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC), it connects to the MAC parking garage and the Club facilities located at the North by overhead bridges and under-ground tunnels. To accommodate the urban growth of Portland, the residential areas are designed with a touch of suburban that fits into the fabric of downtown Portland.
24
1. The parking is located below grade and the rest of the program is above the parking.
2. The public areas including the courtyard that connects both streets are located at the first floor, the more private programs are located above it.
5. The parkings are shifted and converted into ramps so that each ramp will only serve a certain levels; this move also adds more variation to the orientation of the apartments.
1. Efficient configuration of rooms placement.
Site Plan
STRUCTURES LOCATION
CIRCULATIONS
RAMPS + PARKINGS LOCATIONS
3. The hotels and VIP rooms are located on the topmost two floors. The residental areas and other programs are located in between the top and ground floors.
4. The residental parkings are relocated upward so that the distance between the living areas and parking decreases, creating a sense of suburban.
6. Openings are created at all sides to allow sunlight to enter the center of the block as well as the hallways. 7. Apartments facing Mt. Hood are pushed down, so that the hotels facing east can have a wider vistas.
2. Openings are created in between each apartment to allow sunlight to enter the hallway.
3. The apartments are trimmed into hexagons to create a rhythm in the hallway. This shape also allows more sunlight to enter the hallway and at the same time, create outdoor spaces for each apartment.
GREEN OPEN SPACE [PUBLIC + PRIVATE]
4. Openings are created on the floor slabs, so that the visual lines of the residents can extend upwards and downwards, eliminating the sense of hallway enclosure. It also helps connecting different levels and programs.

KESEY SQUARE LA 439 // 2015 SPRING INDIVIDUAL STUDIO PROJECT - PUBLIC SQUARE REDEVELOP CRITIC: PROFESSOR RONALD LOVINGER The aim of this project is to renovate the current square into a more attractive space for visitors and the citizens of Eugene, keeping aesthetic, social justice and equality in mind. Instead of designing another building over the site, I attempted to introduce another form of city fabric into this site, emphasizing the future development of Eugene, and at the same time, blending with the local context—the nature. Since the site is located on the axis that links Spencer Butte and Skinner Butte—two important landmarks of Eugene—I decided to create another “Butte” in the middle of Downtown, emphasizing its importance to the city and its people. This design focuses on the future of Eugene—10 years, or even 50 years later, with the increasing populations, vertical development might occur, and this project will create a second circulation level above ground, connecting different places in Eugene, providing a more safe and efficient way of traveling for pedestrians and cyclist. This site is the “seed” of the bridge system, as time passes, the bridge will crawl into more places, adapting to the ever changing context of Eugene.

THE NOMADIC CLOUD AUD 401 // 2017 SPRING - IDEAS GROUP PROJECT - MARS HABITAT CRITIC: PROFESSOR GÜVENÇ ÖZEL This studio seeks to develope the fundamental designs and technological ideas necessary to manufacture an offworld habitat using mission recycled materials and local indigenous materials. Our habitat will accommodate a NASA crew of four, who will be the first humans ever to step foot on Mars in 2035. The Nomadic cloud is a movable lightweight structure that can be used as an exploration equipment as well as a living space. The structures and the skin of the habitat will be made with either 3D-Printed aerographite or graphene membrane, which can be produced from Mars directly using tools brought from Earth. We will use water as the fundamental material to change the stiffness of our structure depending on its state - from ice to gas.

F.A.R.M. AUD 401 // 2017 WINTER - IDEAS GROUP PROJECT - PLUGIN MICRO HABITAT CRITIC: PROFESSOR GÜVENÇ ÖZEL In this quarter, we focused on the system of autonomous transportation on earth. We regard Autonomous vehicles, or “moving rooms”, as extensions of architecture. The networks and logistics of autonomous vehicles and their impact on built environment is a major theme in this studio. “At the beginning of the 21st century, multiple studies show that climate change will threaten wine production. Global warming will make it difficult to raise grapes in traditional wine country. Researchers predict a two-thirds fall in production in the world’s premier wine regions because of climate change in the year of 2050.” F.A.R.M. (Future Agriculture Revolution Masterplan) is a proposal and our answer to the future of wine production and agriculture industry. F.A.R.M. consists of a network of farming towers scattered around the edge of megacities, each tower will house a few hundreds of minimal living units with some form of autonomous vehicles, or “moving rooms”, integrated within. These autonomous vehicles help the farmers perform daily routines such as sowing, harvesting, irrigation and other activities related to agriculture.

RIVAS PAVILION AUD 401 // 2016 SUMMER - IDEAS GROUP PROJECT - PATTERN MORPHOLOGY CRITIC: PROFESSOR JULIA KOERNER This studio focuses on tooling, geometrical analysis, and fabrication - as means of literal translation. While, the studio will focus on the architectural and urban translation of the system. The studio is divided into two phases and starts with an initial study of one morphological design-research topic. There are 20 topics available for selection, which are related to geometrical intricacy found in natural phenomenons. We select each one topic and research formal, systematic, structural and metabolic characteristics of the morphology. ​ This phase is to investigate and analyze a river rock in great detail. We also focused on fabrication and building a morphology of models representing the investigated topic and develop a design for a transforming pavilion.

OSCILLATION ARCH 462 // 2015 WINTER GROUP STRUCTURAL PROJECT - ROOF OF AN OFFICE CRITIC: PROFESSOR MARK DONOFRIO The idea of the design is to create a meeting space that is not only acoustically ideal but also visually pleasant. To create such beautiful and structurally focusing visually effect, we would like to create a structure that can induce the viewer’s visual lines through the entire space with a soft and curvy touch. The effect is achieved by creating different sets of unique trusses with different vertex locations and height, and align them on a curvy path. The roof of the meeting room will be made with transparent acrylic panels, providing an opportunity to cast shadows of the trusses all over the space. A system of lights will be hanging all over the structure to provide lighting in darker days and during nights.

FALLEN STAR ARCHI 120 // 2012 FALL INDIVIDUAL DESIGN PROJECT CRITIC: PROFESSOR JOE VALDEZ FALLEN STAR is a table lamp that is inspired by the bouncing motion of a shooting star. Triangular planes are used to represent the crisp and sharp path of a star traveling across the night sky. These triangle planes are in different sizes and are tilted in different angles, this can display the gradients of light on its surface; since each plane has its own size and angle, a variety of light conditions can be shown throughout the surface of the lamp. The lamp is being designed as a decoration rather than a source of light, as its main purpose is to express the beauty of light gradients—as beautiful as shooting stars. This lamp was voted best design by the entire class including 50 students and professors.

MAPPING PLACES ARCH 423 // 2016 WINTER GROUP PROJECT - PARAMETRIC PLACES CRITIC: PROFESSOR PHILIP SPERANZA In many urban environments, spaces do not encourage cohesion amongst users. Many of the spaces that are traversed by a variety of users do not have public Wi-Fi access. If taken into account, the manipulation of these factors can greatly increase the success of a space. For example, a study to determine areas with the highest variety of users can be used for placement of a successful public Wi-Fi system. The Park Blocks in downtown Eugene, Oregon can be the context for a study of this sort. The area consists of businesses, shops, and facilities that cater to a vast array of the population making it an ideal place of study. A new public Wi-Fi system will be installed on a particularly poor part of the site. Throughout a city, the systems will be placed in areas with the most user group variety with poor Wi-Fi connection and new public spaces will be developed around them based on the user groups present. The systems will attract people to an area and make them more likely to stay as Wi-Fi is in high demand in modern society.

CYBERPHYSICAL CUBES AUD 401 // 2016 FALL - IDEAS GROUP PROJECT - AUTONOMOUS REACTIVE SYSTEMS CRITIC: PROFESSOR GÜVENÇ ÖZEL The intent of this studio is to explore the logics and formal outputs of organizational behaviors, through researching specific terminologies and finding precedents in the fields of digital and interactive art, architecture, and industrial design, we have developed a formal language of interactive motion Folding, Pleating, and Origami. In the first three weeks of the studio, we have animated our physical model with the help of KUKA robot arms in our studio. The main goal of this session is to create a coherent architectural prototype that will act as a formal vessel to fulfill a number of idealized conditions related to hierarchy, structure etc... For example in our project is to transform a surface into a volume. The latter half of the studio is to turn our physical models into autonomously reactive systems of mixed realities based on the formal and kinematic logics that we have established earlier. We used EMOTIV Epoc+ headset and Electroencephalography to bridge the realities between the physical and digital world, and to allow our physical model to respond to their context through physical transformation and digital interface “intelligently”.

SOFT ROBOTIC ARM AUD 403A // 2016 FALL - IDEAS GROUP PROJECT - ROBOTIC ENDTOOL CRITIC: BENJAMIN ENNEMOSER, MERTCAN BUYUKSANDALYACI In this seminar we designed a robotic couture for the small robots in the IDEAS Lab in the form of a functional prosthetic. The focus is a scenario where soft- robotics are combined with hard or rigid robotics and how they interact with a geometrical object. In this case, the small robotic arms serve as site for our design and the task is to equip or extend them like a tool or gripper. The soft extensions, which we designed, have to incorporate the possible movement of the rigid robots and combine the properties of soft and rigid. The prosthetic extension we design, has to interact with a distinct object with a particular geometry and topology. We focus on how the final design and object of our robotic extensions are articulated due to the interaction with the distinct geometrical object. This interaction can be based on lifting, rotating, wrapping, deforming or gripping.
