SHAPE OF THE HEART: MOVEMENT AND EMOTION Jarrett Ely & Esteban Ramirez-Fergoso

SPRING 2023 - STUDIO Applied Research

11

This exercise aimed to explore a body’s form through the lens of emotion and human experience.

What does a it look like to experience liberation? Confinement?

Empowerment? How can this movement be abstracted, and how do these abstractions reflect themes of the human experience?

This community center is located on the edge of the historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood in Atlanta. The area has a rich history and a resilient community.

The building aims to foster connectedness and engagement in the community through dynamic circulation and view-sheds.

Doris Farms is a culinary retreat in Georgia’s Black Belt. The project aims to celebrate southern African American cuisine, and support the surrounding community.

This proposal consists of 2 cabin designs serving the guests of this retreat.

Situated amongst the site’s loose rows of pine trees, this pair of cottages reflects their unique location.

Linear sets of spaces respond to these rows, extending the experience out into the pines.

Both cottages are fragmented along a central axis, which helps to create individual spaces, while maintaining a small footprint. Inspired by traditional shotgun houses, this central axis runs through the series of 3 linear spaces, facilitating major movement between the them.

Flexibility was a key aspect of this project, as the cottages had to maximize their limited square footage. This informed the creation of flexible furniture, moveable walls, and the heavy emphasis on exterior spaces.

GIRIH TILING & ISLAMIC TESSELLATION Jarrett Ely

FALL 2022 - STUDIO Applied Research

44

The work from this studio analyzed tessellated patterns found in Islamic architecture, specifically Girih tiling.

45

Research on existing precedents was done to develop an understanding of the Girih framework, which was then used to create new, contemporary compositions.

The precedent selected (top left) for analysis was from the portal of the Darb-i Imam Shrine, located in Isfahan, Iran. The portal’s radial pattern exhibits scaling, something which Girih

It achieves this by nesting the vertices of the larger pattern in the center of the subpattern’s decagonal stars (bottom left).
