Re-Routing Education Aalto University Campus Proposal Autumn 2012

Karen Lewis Studio

A proposal for a new learning center for the VTT Technical Research Institute in Otaniemi, Finland. This building, derived from a previously divisive road, integrates a currently divided campus by merging several disciplines into one building with spaces that provide opportunities for both a collaborative means of education between different areas of study as well as small, private spaces that allow for more intimate forms of education. This 1500 ft. long building features studios for design students as well as film students, exhibition spaces, closed as well as open study spaces, seminar rooms, faculty offices, student dining, bike storage, and a recreation center.

Pre-Fab (Barn) Hab A Community Development in Rural OH Spring 2013

Isabela Gould Studio

A semester long investigation of the “barn house” type and how a utilitarian space may be modified to become a cozy, comfortable home in this undeveloped rural Ohio lot. An entire neighborhood is developed consisting of different sized, prefabricated “barnhouses” where floor plates have been shifted to create more private zones in the typically open building type. The barnhouses capitalize on the most charming and spatially dynamic features of the barn type, including loft spaces, large sliding doors, and an open floor plan on the first level. Typical barn siding is reinterpreted in both a functional and aesthetic sense. The spacing of the siding is a dematerialization that allows the houses to blend into the heavily wooded environment and the siding also acts as doors and windows in certain places.

Pushing The Envelope

Restoration of Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Roma Spring 2012

Kaybea Jones Studio Jasmine McNeil Kayle Langford Katie Mitchell

residenze

educazione

arte

An art museum in Rome, Italy that has been neglected for decades becomes infused with life again in this project. To respect the tendency of Romans to demolish as little as possible, A semi transparent “envelope” is wrapped around the existing building to protect it from external forces, and the existing structure is restored. But the inevitable influence of the surrounding area impacts the envelope, pushing it into the existing building in certain instances, creating a dynamic environment that forms modern spaces within a traditional structure. The spatial qualities of the museum are further modernized by making the skin moveable in certain spaces. Artists’ dwellings may be transformed into galleries to showcase their work and little nooks may be created by pushing courtyard walls into the building.

1 Dwelling transformation from hallway

exterior walls of dwellings can be pushed in to provide privacy for the artists, or pushed out to allow museum visitors to step into the artists’ homes. dwellings instantly transform into an artist’s own personal gallery.

3

2 Courtyard transformation from indoors

former large windows are transformed into boxes that may be pushed in and out for museum visitors to create private spaces for a more intimate dining or reading experience near the museum cafe.

3 Courtyard transformation from outdoors

the courtyard walls function as “pockets” pushing out of the courtyard that provide nearly completely private spaces in the courtyard.

4 Gallery between envelope and building

the envelope is wrapped loosely around the building in locations such as this one, resulting in an “in between zone”, where the transparent skin acts as its own piece of art, allowing pedestrians outdoors to become part of the exhibit in the gallery.

5 Garden Entrance

“nature” is one of the forces that acts on the building, pushing its way through the skin to create a new entrance from the direction of the nearby parks of Villa Borghese.

6 An “In Between” Garden

18

the nature from Villa Borghese crawls into the building and manifests itself into a spot in between the envelope and the building.

Cinicinatti Performing Arts Center A Proposal for a New Icon in Cincinatti, OH Winter 2011

Brandon Clifford Studio

An icon designed to infuse a new sense of excitement into the city of Cincinatti, Ohio. This 512’ tower not only enhaces the city skyline with its hot pink skin, but also inherently creates types of spaces that provide opportunities for activities that are currently unthought of in Cincinatti. The tower features three different “districts” where spaces for learning, practicing, and even the display of arts are made possible. The theatre at the top of the tower boasts an impressive view of the skyline as a backdrop for the stage. The separation of the volumes of each space as well as the exaggerated height will give birth to types of public spaces that are bound to generate activities for adventure seekers and art lovers alike. * A stop motion video was produced for this project.

This project began as an investigation of the “art of movement” and a study of break dancing and evolved into the group’s own interpretation of movement through installation. To acknowledge the concept of two opposing teams in breakdancing, a site was chosen that was understood as two separate spaces (ground floor and ramp). Different colored straws represent the two “teams”.

Each “team invades the opposition’s side and bundles of straws may be pulled down on one side in order to manipulate curtains of straws on the opposite side, making the invasions literal.

Shoe Store/Tango Bar Mixed Use Building Proposal Autumn 2010

Beth Blostein Studio

The design of the shoe store/ tango bar integrates the idea of strappy sandal straps with display windows.

The design of the facade of the building is based on strappy sandals, but another goal was to successfully “tie” the tango bar into the design. So display windows, which are usually designed at a small scale to show off shoes are blown up so that they may also put the tango bar dancers on display. But unlike shoe diplay windows, these large scale windows provide unique views from both inside and outside. The oddly shaped windows are extruded out of the facade to provide more personal little nooks separate from the tango bar.

The two unrelated venues are literally “tied together” by a facade composed of strings that support the large scale display windows.

IMI/ Masonry Design Competition Proposal for a New School of Earth Sciences on OSU Campus Winter 2011

Jose Oubrerie Lab

The Ohio State University is known for being an outstanding educational institution that takes pride in its influence that spreads from Ohio all the way to the other side of the world. The university itself is made up of people from all over the world, and that is what many believe makes it so great. Without the diversity of the student population, the university would not be the same. This idea is conceptualized from an architectural standpoint in this project, and a proposal is made to create a cladding for the School of Earth Sciences that consists of stones from all over the world. A stone from every country-or maybe even state, representing students and professors from different countries will make up the facade of the building- reminding us of the culture and diversity that make up The Ohio State University and incorporating it into the architecture.

Proposal #1: Exterior The exterior will consist of random rubble found from all over the world. The facade that each rubble is placed on will be oriented with respect to the direction of the country that the rubble is indigenous to. The random rubble will give the facade an appearance of a conglomeration of different sizes, colors, and shapes of stones.

A reinforced, prefabricated concrete header will act as the lintel to be carried over openings in this building.

Flashing will be placed above openings.
