1 DEEP DECORATION Year: 2022 Studio: 2nd Year Fall Instructor: Stuart Romm The Islamic empire created patterns by means of repeating elements along lines or over surfaces. The tessellation techniques were created because it was forbidden to display a deity of ancient Islam. The three types of patterns are calligraphy, arabesque, and geometric. Our studio focused on geometric explorations and art in tile work and constructed patterns from “girih tiles” The tessellation patterns are a powerful form of decoration in architecture.

We took our patterns and physical model with their suggestions of human movement and perception to the edge of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. We designed and proposed, a “House of the People”, a house that can be appropriated and claimed by the residents of Rocinha.

Voronoi Pattern

2 MEDIA + MODELING 2D ATTRACTORS Year: 2022 Studio: 2nd Year Fall Instructor: Daniel Baerlecken In this module, we created a two-dimensional pattern using multiple attractors. By making a set of points based on random point distribution and setting up a geometric relationship between our attractors and geometry, we created a visually complex and structured composition. In this case, the voronoi pattern was made.

Through additive manufacturing, Grasshopper, and Rhino, I created a remote control LED voronoi lamp.

MEDIA + MODELING PHYSICS SIMULATION Year: 2022 Studio: 2nd Year Fall Instructor: Daniel Baerlecken In this assignment, we had to choose a case study, research the topic through diagrams and develop a grasshopper script. By analyzing the structural system and simulating the structure through Kangaroo, we created a shading structure using a variation of the structural system.

Using the same origami by the artist Yoshimuru Yoshimura, I designed and 3D printed a planter mold out of a flexible filament that can be reused with resin, concrete, rockite, and plaster.

Site Map

3 Year: 2022 Studio: 1st Year Spring Instructor: Christian Coles As a studio, we created a site map of Doris Farm after our visit to Oglethorpe, GA. We arranged the single and double occupancy cabins in groups by the timberland (sixteen), a few individual by the edge of teh new growth forest (five), and oriented the remainder (nine cabins) towards the lily pad pond. My contribution was analyzing site circulation and views.

Individually, we created cabin designs and my concept of “Plug ‘n Play” is a prefabricated dwelling manufactured offsite. Prefab home builders offer greater efficiency in their production. Materials stored in the factory are reused and are not subjected to mildew and ruse. The land will be less disturbed during the assembly process and the commute for potentia far site contractors and construction workers would be avoided. Overall, these prefab homes are more affordable, sustainable, and ADA compliant.

and since materials are stored in the factory, they can be reused. The materials used to reinforce the house frames are more durable because the rigid interior systems have been engineered disturbed during the assembly process than it would be if it was used as the construction site. The commute to a potentially far site for contractors and construction workers would be avoided,

Visitors are enabled to choose whether they want a single or double occupancy, the location of their cabin on the site, and the type of porch they prefer. Each of the cabins are ADA compliant, but there are a variety of porches to choose from and half of them accommodate those with physical impairments.

4 SEAVIEW HOUSE Year: 2021 Studio: 1st Year Spring Instructor: Simon Hoffiz The Seaview House is located in Barwon Heads, Australia. The clients wanted a beach retreat that would become their permanent dwelling. They were seeking a house that would integrate within the existing streetscape.

During this studio project, we individually chose a precedent study. By exploring the Seaview House, I developed an understanding of the thought process that led to the project’s creation to the material finishes. To provide information on the proportions, structure, and appearance of the dwelling, I drafted orthographic drawings.

INSTRUMENT OF MAKING Year: 2022 Studio: 1st Year Spring Instructor: Christian Coles During this class assignment, we created an orthographic projection of a chosen kitchen instrument. This manual pasta maker cuts pasta dough for traditional lasagna, fettuccine, and tagliatelle.

The overall concept and design of this versatile machine is represented through the front, plan, bottom, and side view drawings.

DESIGN CONCEPTS OF ATLANTA Year: 2021 Instructor: Ryan Roark A concept is the foundation of a project. It is an idea that is consitantly reverted back to throughout the design process. It can be described through sketches, diagrams, and photographs.

A developed concept can easily guide the direction of a project towards success.

Color is an integral element in architecture. It can alter the perception people have in an environment when it is strategically used to create spactial sequences. It is a design element that can support light and shadow which is crucial for thermal comfort.

During this class exercise, we analyzed the effects of color using a triadic color palette.

The Dune House, in the United Kingdom, was designed by architects JVA. The concept sketch is depicted on the left and the final product is shown on the right.

The concept sketch of the Sydney Opera House was created from a sphere. The shells of the structure were isolated from the sphere.

SYMMETRY A fundamental part of architectural design is creating a proportionate structure with congruent dimensions. The reflection of an image creates familiarization and is aesthetically pleasing. It is presented in national historic landmarks including the Georgia State Capitol (pictured on far right) and in modern architecture.

DECOMPOSITION The process of breaking down into simpler matter is to decompose. In architecture, decomposition refers to the decay of buildings.

Due to climate change, numerous historical structures are undergoing renovation and restoration because they are decomposing faster than the predicted rate.

PART-TO-WHOLE Structures that are constructed by a kit of parts is known as part-to-whole architecture.

They demonstrate the relationship between parts and the building. For instance, Habitat 67 (second image on right) was constructed with prefabricated modules stacked in various combinations.

REPRESENTATION Representation is a difficult principle to follow, but can allow others to understand an idea without tangible objects or words.

Venturi and Raunch is an architecture firm and a husband and wife duo.

Crown Hall was designed by architect Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe.

The Georgia State Capitol, designed by architects Edbrooke and Burnham, has been named a National Historic Landmark.

Jantar Mantar is an observatory with collections of astronomical instruments.

The Portland is located in Oregon it was designed by Micahel Graves.

CIRCULATION The concept of circulation refers to the movement of individuals through a space. Mapping a space clearly improves interactions between people and makes public and private spaces easily distinguishable.

FABRICATION Equipment and methods used to create a structure’s material is called fabrication. It is a process that starts with an illustrated design (conceptual phase) and is followed by the logical, structural, and concrete phases.

5 OUTDOOR STUDY SPACE Year: 2021 Studio: 1st Year Spring Instructor: Simon Hoffiz As a studio, we did a site analysis of a wooded area on campus and looked at site location, size, topography, circulation, sunlight, sound, and wind. After analyzing the qualitative and quanitative properties, we individually designed an outdoor study space for students.

SUNROOM EXTENSION Year: 2020 Studio: 1st Year Fall Instructor: Tanesha Bokally For this studio project, we were asked to design an inhabitable space that derived from our cubic iterations in the previous module. The three walls of glass doors and windows let in views and light.

This modern approach to designing a sunroom includes features such as, a flat roof with scuppers, a frameless electric fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
