Flowstate 01

Assignment 03

“The Meet Cute”

Fall 2022 || Year 3 || Semester 1 instructor: Katherine Dudzik Smith Rhino 6 || Illustrator || Photoshop

Embedded deep within the conifer forest mountains of Japan, Flowstate sits below a waterfall and within the pebble-laden riverbed of the subsequent stream. Flowstate is a sensory experience broken up into nine distinct cubic regions meant to elicit an emotional and self-reflective response to the lighting and sound conditions from the environment. Meant to be a spiritual journey guided by lighting and the senses, its varying apertures expose the user to the cool environment and the conditions experienced when standing atop a free-flowing river.

Enlightenment Chapel 02

Assignment 04

“The uncanny”

Fall 2022 || Year 3 || Semester 1 instructor: Katherine Dudzik Smith Rhino 6 || Illustrator || Photoshop

To learn from the values and lessons of the past is a fundamental quality to religion, and as such necessitates a space representing a look inward at oneself to seek improvement and universal engagement. A person’s life is heavily influenced and guided by nature; so much so that one may conclude that Planet Earth is the universal religion and the landscapes and environments we thrive within are its teachings. Enlightenment Chapel means to provide that connection between people and place, and deepen one’s understanding of their most influential guiding light: mother nature.

Site: Oak Creek Cliffs, Sedona, AZ

A site sitting above Oak Creek, Enlightenment Chapel resides in a residential neighborhood right outside of Sedona, AZ. Embedded within OCC, Ambience Chapel means to give residents and Arizona natives a medium to reconnect with light and nature away from the comerce-forward city and curated sites. The Chapel’s natural materials and tones embed the building within the landscape, and provide a far more naturally immersive experience once you enter. Light and shadow are emphasized, and the glazed entities enable a controlled, yet high level of exposure to the natural world around you.

Circulation

Visitors may access three routes for a fully immersive experience into the building and landscape: a viewpoint balcony, station for restful seating, and an entryway into the chapel.

Rising Bar

The manipulation of form and shape were the driving forces behind this project: “The Abstracted Column”. It’s a notion akin to design and the architectural profession, and it’s an essential skill to hone as a student. Per the project’s instructions, we were to take a pre-existing pillar/column and maneuver its edges, surfaces, and points to generate an inhabitable public space.

The Rising Bar habitat is the inspired result of renowned architect, Anne Holtrop, who created a plaster-based column for an art exhibition celebrating Chicago’s centennial. The original column emphasizes curves and the absence of a linear edge, making it a unique piece representative of Chicago’s distinct and culturally-significant history as an American metropolis.

Curves and non-planar surfaces are emphasized in the Rising Bar, implemented to establish a visual connection to Holtrop’s piece. Given the discernible layers of the original, multiple stories to the project were conceived to allow for a heightened experience of the outdoor environment and light from varying elevations. Each level issues a specific program and certain amenities, evolving to include more as one reaches a higher altitude.

Materiality and form are emphasized given the lack of program and purpose. Its structure is supported by multiple columns of rebar and concrete, and of the same shape as the original. The platinum-colored floor tiles posit a state of luxury and glamour akin to society and the classes; a notion made evident by the division of neighborhoods in Chicago’s streets. Wood steps link to vertical struts to create not only access to the next level but also shade and a distinction between floor, ceilings, and walls, again emphasizing the numerous levels to Holtrop’s original model.
