Seattle Assembly House

Seattle, WA

Adaptable Event Center

Arch 609

Eddy Tavio

Fourth Year Spring Semester 2022

In Partnership With Alexander Asbury

Located across from the Pudget Sound on an newly developed waterfront lies this Assembly House. Here, people can form new experiences with their peers, creating a commonality to pull them together. The very nature of this whole project is temporal. This building can morph well beyond the typical construction.

The inside houses two lobbys, an event space, a double story restaurant, an art gallery, assisting spaces, and a large exterior ramp transversing the NW and SW facades bringing the city a valuable asset

Conceptually, these are broken into solid, void, and connecting pieces. With the idea of having the solid house and protect the event space, the void attracting the public inside, and the connecting pieces bringing it all together.

Construction is a mixture of a steel frame and CLT decking to provide a pleasing aesthetic and appropriate standards for program pieces.

All with the main goal of bringing an iconic place to Seattle for people to gather and enjoy an array of experiences.

Hôtel Industriel Berlier Addition

Paris, France

Living & Athletic Addition

FRSP Study Abroad

Pierre Engel & Dorothée Sipp

Fall Master’s Program

In Partnership With Brooks Quinby & Arianna McCue

Located in the 13th Arrondissement of Paris, France exisits an office space designed by Dominique Perrault Architecture. Sitting just inside the Boulevard Périphérique of Paris, this hotel is seen by all who come from the airport just outside. The office is symbolic of a gem that once influenced clean and modernistic architecture in Paris, but is now overshadowed by the newer, taller, and larger buildings surrounding it.

This addition brings Hotel Berlier back to the forefront of the conversation with its structural technique of balancing two additional gems over the exisiting. The addition uses the exisiting column grid structure as a base. The two offset forms use a megatruss system at their first levels which are connected by Z trusses at the intersections. The addition is therefore lifted off the roof and rests in tension to catch the eye of pedestrains and drivers.

The inside houses residential units for students with an array of athletic activities to be used by all. At the point of the intersection linking the forms, exists two double height spaces to be used in transition between activities.

Tension

Optimal structural trusses are designed with each brace under tension, as this configuration enhances the overall structural integrity and support system. Creating a foam truss model and applying force to its members to transmit loads downward provides a clear indication of whether the bracing elements are experiencing tension or compression.

By attaching separate strings to each intersection and exerting pressure on the column members, emphasized by the orange arrows, we observed distinct responses. The strings either tightened or loosened, effectively illustrating which braces were subjected to tension, highlighted in blue. Functionally telling us how to create our megatruss system.

OKC Urban Dwelling Community

Oklahoma City, OK

Mixed-Use Residential Living Community

Arch 608

Eddy Tavio

Fourth Year Fall Semester 2022

In response to a collective master plan focused on revitalizing Oklahoma City, this mixed-use residential development connects main through ways, green corridors, and lively energetic areas to and through the site. While also putting forth an educational effort and purposefully catering towards the family households nearby via a Culinary Education Center. With everything opening up to a lively corridor that serves as a connection between the district’s sites and a place to socialize to be with the area’s people.

Organized in a tower cluster residential model type, the four structures offer multiple categories of living units. The central cores that descend to the underground parking structure provides residents with easy access to their rooms. The core, surrounded by interlocking living units presents the opportunity for multiple viewpoints out of rooms and a dense but freeing living community.

The Culinary Center offers a premium marketplace, an intimate restaurant, a dynamic outdoor bar, and culinary educational services that all interact with the site and its surroundings. Together, creating a spirited community which includes and interacts with its surroundings.

Multi-Use Transportation Hub

Arch 508

Gregory Crichlow

Third Year Spring Semester 2022

An urban in-fill project that fronts Vermont Street and is adjacent to 9th street in Lawrence, Kansas. The proposed program is a Multi Modal Hub which will allow current shared transit and future mobility visions to serve and engage the constituents of Lawrence. The space will be a combination of bus docks, bicycle storage, electric car share ports, micro mobility docking, offices, a small grocer and public storefronts for display and consumption.

The idea will be to provide an inclusive experience where East and West Lawrence’s historical past can participate in its future.

The form resembles the frame of a bicycle stitched together by glass channels. The exterior skin of the building is composed of a glass storefront system and terracotta tiling that is varied in projection to create shade to the tile below. The structure is comprised of a steel framing system with a constant overhang around all sides of the building. The interior ceilings are split between drop ceilings and acoustic tiles to allow for HVAC and minimize echoes in the public spaces. Green walls, designed luminaries, and permeable pavers are all integrated into the entire design.
