creation of grid

first, a grid is created by a module of 20�x20�. this grid becomes sub-divided into larger or smaller cells, then it is copied back and subdivided again. lines are connected to corresponding points between grids.

the aim of this project was to combine two furniture pieces, the wishbone chair and the usm haller modular furniture system. through two groups analysis of the furniture [theirs wishbone / ours - usm haller], concepts and rule sets were extracted. the joinery of the wishbone chair caught our attention in that this detail could be transferred to our concept of the usm furniture. the usm furniture was abstracted to a concept of point, line, + plane. along with a certain proportioning system [one like the system usm developed], the points and lines could be transformed to create different geometries. There in lies the basis for the hybrid of furniture.

assembly assembly of the planes are much like that of the wishbone chair. the panels and rods are joined by a smaller piece of material that slides into grooves cut into the panels and rods

creation of object [1] - control points are locally corrupted on a 5”x5” grid which adjusts the object in specific ways to create spaces for certain activity.

[2] - here two control moved 20” to create a seating plane.

[3] - the seating plane is flattened by moving another control point 20”

[5] - these points are moved and planes are deleted to cover the seating under it

[4] - another control point is moved 20” in the x + y plane to make a longer ‘laying’ platform

[6] - the two moves here extend and widen the second area for laying

[7] - two points are moved 20” to create another seating plane

[8] - a point is moved 20” to create another seating plane on the other side

[9] - other points are moved and planes are deleted to exaggerate the form of the object

a house for a hoarder requires a free plan, for the hoarder ignores programmatic space. space becomes defined by the objectivity of the hoarder. to accentuate this, the main circulation space becomes defined by a network intended to hold clutter. this now defined space also becomes the clutter that weaves through the overall shell, interrupting normal patterns of occupation.

[a rock club] [iteration 3] lateral movement of whole by discourse within a local object

grid is divided discourse with in all objects, localized

each five-sided figure is free to move independently six five-sided figures are formed according to the grid

the cracking operation is applied

by faces either sharing edges or not sharing edges, openings in the roof can form

lateral movement of whole by change in size

multi-directional movement of local object by discourse in adjacent object

the music that is performed at a rock club showcases a value of its core: rebellion. one cannot rebel without its antithesis: authority. the rock club is an opportunity to rebel against the given authority, namely conditions created by the site. there are three conditions of authority created by the site: a grid condition, a roof condition, and a ground condition. by subverting these conditions of authority, the building rebels.

building migration

buildings are designed to get people out during times of distress [natural disaster, fire, flood, etc...]. a new type of building is created when this idea of getting people out shifts to the idea of keeping people in. with the current shift in the climate and the probability of disaster rising, the creation of a building that can keep its occupants safe and in place is timely. the building gets split into two parts: the top being housing and the

bottom being public program. the design of dual functioning spaces within these parts allows for spaces of delight [galleries, cafĂŠs, pools, etc...] to become resourceful spaces of distress [triage, shelter, temporary housing, etc...]. serving both the residents of the building and the community in both times of delight and shelter, the building becomes an example of how we live with a changing climate.

This pavilion is the result of an exploration of structural and material principals. We began by testing what kind of forms would arise from simply folding sheets of paper. Through this process, two types of structuring principals stood out: the folded plate and the cantilever.

The given site, the north side of Franklin Field, became the testing grounds for these principals. Through different iterations, a form of two soaring cantilevered wings supported by trusses and an arch in

the center became the basis for the pavilion. Visual structural tests were conducted to inform the material selection for the pavilion, in which aluminum was selected to provide a lightweight solution.

The detailing of connections was the next step in which a hinge, wall, ground, and truss connection was designed. This pavilion could act as a new, inviting space to the entrance to the facilities at Franklin Field.

mixed use tower, nyc| work in progress

in development is a mixed use tower located in West Chelsea that holds retail, commercial, residential, and luxury. using a process of transformation, the form of the building rises out of attributes of elegance. transitions in angles and densities reflect the program which occupies the building.

ideo business center

the IDEO business center is a design of a 200000 sq. ft. office building for the Integrated Design Competition held by Kent State University CAED. located in Pittsburgh, PA, the design was created by a team of two and followed the Living Building Challenge. a 40+ page design document set was produced encompassing the design for the building, a 4000 sq. ft. speculative office design, life safety, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural design. While adhering to a strict guideline for the realistic design criteria, the design for the building became an icon for Pittsburgh and IDEO. this project was completed mostly with the use of autodesk revit software and adobe illustrator.
