CASED INTELLIGENCE

“A Protrayal of the Interaction of Architecture and Social Media Themes.” Atlanta, Georgia

The Connection is a Mediatheque, a cultural center primarily focused on sharing different forms of digital audiovisual media with the public. Heavily inspired by the interactions that take place in online social mediums such as forums, networking sites and other communities, guests are welcomed to the library with the aim of fostering feelings of communal belonging and personal reward in curious nature.

What seperates a mediatheque from a library is the amount of book stacks that cover the floorplate. Arranging and navigating the space around them highlights their importance, but raises the issue of limited space and range of vision.

By taking every single book and placing them all in three stand alone cases to be admired, this eliminates the issue of space. By making them see-through, this would then diminish any issues with vision, and allows each of the floor plates to have more room for other program.

Book retreival was another issue. So then these glass cases became book “Bookbots.”

The project site was also chosen for it’s relevance to other cultural elements within the area, such as a few local based theatres as well as it’s proximity to student housing in the surrounding area. Student

By placing the media center within a hot spot for student traffic between Georgia Technological Institue and the Savannah College of art and design sateliite classrooms, the focus is to pull that traffic to an environment that allows them to study while developing an exploratory, ingenuous nature for their surroundings and others.

CENTER OF ATTENTION

“Work Hard, Play Harder.”

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Play is an important aspect of childhood education. The Center of Attention is an elementary school designed with placing play at the center of all learning, and provides ample space for communal interaction to do so. In the center of each floor plate, there is an enrichment space for children, grade levels K-5.

Second Floor plan showing classrooms and open student reading area. It is open air, and rests on a raised platform. This space is expected to receive traffic all day, from every grade level.

Through the center of each floorplate is an enrichment space for students to interact with one another, as well as receiving sunlight from the eastward facing curtain wall.

Right: Pictured is the fifth floor, home to the fourth and fifth graders. There is an outdoor play space to allow students fresh air, play on mounds of frass and peek down to the gym below, all in a safe confined area. Surrounding this is a race track, allowing students t relieve excess energy between classes or on their way to the playground.

A WELCOME CENTER

“An Extended Campus, A New Face”

Auburn, Alabama

As the university has recently begun expanding eastward, there has also been talk regarding the southern edge of campus as it is looking to house Auburn’s creative campus. It would create the need for a welcome center to express the context of the newest campus additions, and house spaces condusive for the spread of local creative events, introductory student information, and an art gallery to view the efforts of the design student body

Program for the Welcome Center includes a welcoming area with seating, restrooms, offices and gallery exhibition space for the design students located on campus.

First: Seated space available just past the visitor’s desk, near the front entrance.

Middle: The gallery entrance is visible fom seated space.

Last: Student lead gallery space.

Sun mitigation and appropriate lighting were two major concerns for the site. The addition of both horizontal and vertical louvers became crucial to the design as the entrance of the Welcome Center faces south, where it will receive the harshest sunlight. These louvers also help to protect art work from damaging overhead sun rays.

PIXEL PROPORTIONED

Conrete Competition FInalist

Auburn, Alabama

To match Auburn’s needs for an ever-expanding campus, the University’s Center for Artificial Intelligence (UCAI) explored the use of concrete as the primary building structure and skin, while then providing the campus with their “first” classroom building outside of their traditional entryway points. It denotes the start of significant Eastward expanion and embodies a shift in campus focus toward technology driven learning and experiences.

Contrary to the university’s characteristically brick facades, the UCAI features a primarily concrete facade with additional masonry panels to denote classroom/labs from office spaces. The masonry work is considered a nod to Auburn’s own traditional use of masonry throughout campus, while referrencing the building to it’s programmed purpose- through mimicry of pixels.
