re: SOURCE PORTLAND Buckman re: SOURCE Center challenges the role of an industrial building in a city. This is a facility designed to use food-waste collected from the Buckman Neighborhood in Portland, OR, and recycle it into valuable compost for community members. Through research into food sustainability, compost methods, and on-site energy production from food waste, the building program was developed as part of a graduate thesis. The cyclical nature of the processes happening here also translated into the design - attempting to make the building part of a cycle as well; more true to sustainability’s definition. The structure, systems, and materials chosen reflect the basic principles of design for deconstruction, making them reusable, recyclable, or highly adaptable. This is a functional compost facility as well as a cooperative market, canning kitchen, cafe, and educational facility on food cycles from growth, preservation, consumption, and disposal. As industry has moved farther away from cities, the challenge of this project was bringing it back and creating a place for community and transparency - keeping food and waste localized.

access to facilities, equipment, and guidance needed to preserve seasonal produce, trade, and buy locally grown/preserved food will encourage residents to have their own “victory gardens” and participation and connection with the recycling of their own food waste. These elements work in unison with the educational components; teaching about soil health, food health, and personal health and their personal role in the full cycle.

FQHC: Plaquemines Parisch, Louisiana Southern Louisiana has a unique cultural and architectural history, both reflecting the extreme weather and tight-knit communities. Plaquemines Parish is one of the most under-served and devastated parishes in Louisiana with no health care facilities. That makes this FQHC a hub for the entire parish and an emergency shelter for severe weather. Challenges, like creating a type of architecture to withstand floods, strong winds, power outages, methods of collecting rainwater, shading from extreme summer heat, rain water collection, natural light & ventilation, and privacy are designed in detail. Instead of raising the building 20 ft. to be above the 100 year flood plain, the structure was designed to float on the Mississippi River. Using a floating concrete foundation and piles, the building adapts to river height and allows easy access by boat in emergency situations if flooding occurs. The hurricane precautions are fully integrated into the building so it can quickly and easily respond, and also give a sense of architectural identity back to a community full of FEMA trailers. In addition, the corridor and pod organization of the program provide nurse stations and clinic rooms with outside views, while shortening the walking distance from station to patient rooms. The goal here is creating a comfortable environment for everyone using the facility.

High Performance: Oregon Hall Retro-fit & Enclosure Design The following projects and enclosure details represent research and testing in high perfomance building design. Using energy modeling as part of the design process several strategies were tested for performance by material specification, calculations, and research. The existing Oregon Hall on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene is a victim of “sick building syndrom.” With large floor plates, privacy partitions and non-operable perimeter windows little daylight penetrates the space and views are hard to come by. Working with department representatives housed in the building, workshops were held to discover the wants and needs of shifting building use from purely administrative to student support and activities. Through a building addition and retro-fit, Oregon Hall will become a “Student Success Center.” Merging student life and administration was the central theme of the project; exploiting that through new dynamic spaces that create light filled atriums and fluid movement of people, air, and light.

BSU: Center for the Environment The Ball State University Center for the Environment is an addition to Ball State Campus. It serves as a connection between two existing buildinga, creating a continuous indoor corridor. It is an interdisciplinary building with labs, classrooms, exhibit, and a living machine. It emphasizes the connection the built environment should have with nature, by using reclaimed materials in a way that teaches everyone passing through the building. The spaces are designed to interact with one another and visitors, promoting the mixing of different disciplines and learning from others. The most prominent feature of the project is the wood curve forming spaces and housing most of the environmental components (lighting, heating/ cooling, ventilation, water heating, etc.) It also creates an interesting/opposing relationship to the orthagonal forms of buildings surrounding it. It poses the question of what “natural� means in a built form.

Daylectric: Muncie Public Library Muncie Public Library’s main goal is to serve as a community hub of learning and communication. This influenced an open floor plan with emphasis on community spaces. However, as part of an electric and daylighting design project, the floor plans are also organized programmatically by type of natural light seen as important for different areas of the building. Form studies with a sky box, heliodon, and AGi32 lighting software helped measure lighting levels with each scheme, resulting in a final formal decision. Every choice, from the placement of the book stacks to the shading louvers reflect the study on electric and daylighting levels as they correlate to LEED standards for lighting levels and energy use. The end project involved a full electric and daylight design, with analysis, lighting cut sheets, lighting schedules, keys, and looping diagrams, as well as custom luminaires and a range of electric lighting techniques and case studies on lighting design.

A Table Story: The Kinetic Schizophrenic What are the feelings we attach to our belongings? This is an exploration turning the nostalgia of an object into a meaningful piece of furniture. For this project the muse was that of a 25 year old hand-stitched feather pillow. Made with care, yet flawed by the human hand, this pillow is versatile; camellion-like. Inspired by crafted seams and an ability to adapt to need, an idea for a table was born. The Kinetic Schizophrenic is multi-purposed and shifty in personality. In any capacity the design provides strong joinery and dependable support, along with the illusion of light-ness that a feather pillow embodies.

Work&Play: The Design Factory From an abandoned and abused warehouse in Indianapolis comes the Design Factory. As a coalition to turn this property into a Project School, artist lofts, design studios, and furniture manufacturing facility, the owner enivisions an extension in celebrating the arts in a new way. Artworks and artists have been admired for centuries, and one main goal of the National Design Factory is to combine appreciation and creation. This design emphasizes the industrial and artistic relationships: between the maker and admirer, the stone and the glass, and the building to its site. Careful material use, responsible design, spatial separation, and an alluring public entrance are some goals of the project. The Design Factory is “breaking the grid� of what teaching, entertaining, and making mean to an urban area.
