HI I'M NOAH DEDE I am a student of sustainable architecture at the University of Colorado. I believe that connecting with nature and being outdoors is vital to the health and wellbeing of ourselves and others.

I am also a youth climbing coach and artist.

When I'm not working, you can usually find me knee-deep in a project. Learning to blacksmith, woodwork, paint or creating digital renderings are just a few of my current obsessions, all of which make me a better designer.

I believe that the way for us as architects to design a sustainable future is by envisioning net-zero buildings and doing everything possible to ensure they are populated with sustainable products, furniture, and educated clients. email phone instagram

How can we design something for someone we have never met? By examining their work? What about their relationships? For Rudolph Teigner, it seemed these were one in the same. He stated in his journals that his inspiration came primarily from nature and from his beloved wife.

This is a design that abstracts the idea of embracing the earth and returning to the ground after death.

TEIGNER MUSEUM EXTENSION

Rudolph Teigner and his wife are buried beneath their life’s work in the existing museum. But to attract more visitors, the curators would like to have spaces for a cafe, a rotating exhibition, and a gallery for Teigner’s paintings.

This circular structure will give visitors a linear experience through the existing facility first, and then into a space for respite, which looks out onto the vast open fields which inspired Teigner.

The series of interior beams provides a softness of natural timber while also speaking to the construction style of Teigner’s statues, which utilize interior wooden beams to support a plaster facade.

In an age where “bigger is better”, many have forgotten the joy of living simply. Living in an efficient vessels with a tiny footprint of 30 square meters lets inhabitants enjoy more freedom to explore outside and avoid the encumbrance of things without value. It is not easy, but the design of the tiny HOM considers every aspect of living and makes few compromises for comfort. Based of the traditional grid, it is able to be highly compact and still feel spacious.

The construction of the tiny HOM may take as little as 1 day, due to the modularity of its design and prefabricated parts. It also hosts systems for solar, water collection, and in-ground heating. The foundation is set on industrial ground screws which could allow the HOM to be disassembled and moved without a trace.

SKILLS

LASER CUT, RHINO, ENSCAPE

The River North District or RiNo District is a portion of Denver which has undergone a rapid period of change, from the former industrial railway hub, to a slum for struggling artists, to now to most sough-after housing market in the city. In an effort to preserve the character of the area, this project provides, affordable microhousing to an otherwise luxury apartment market.

By making use of the existing rail yard adjacent to the site, the building is composed of retrofitted rail-cars, stacked to provide each unit with a private balcony overlooking the downtown area to the east, and an unobstructed view of the mountains to the west. The units are a mere 450 square feet, although they feature, a bedroom hosting a king-sized bed, a full shower and bathroom, and a large kitchen/living space. Other amenities such as laundry and a community dock are shared between the units at the ground and water levels. Special care was also taken to ensure the building is accessible to all, and structurally achievable.

Watershed School serves primarily the 6th through the 12th grade students from Boulder county. Although their teaching philosophy is unlike any other school in the district. Their focus is on creating “Travelers not Tourists“ and holistic adults ready to face the impending challenges of tomorrow. They constantly examine realworld scenarios and take multiple international trips to conduct research and study diverse regions of the world.

This building will become a part of their new campus and redesigns an old office building with a new interior and second floor.

A rhythmic, vertical shading system on the south side helps to passively cool the building. It is carved away in select portions to express functions of the school to the public, such as the ceramics studio, music studies, and gymnasium.

This design allows the old building’s utilities to stay and places an exoskeleton on the second floor to support the added weight on the existing structure. By expressing the load-bearing elements, the building can become a tool for learning about how buildings function, and the interior waffle slab ceiling will also express the systems within the building.

Sun studies were conducted to determine the best location for a partially shaded balcony, and allow for the upper deck to be used year-round. This will give the students a chance to get fresh air between, and during classes. Large windows on the north and west facades also provide every classroom with daylighting and will allow the school to function in the spring and fall without the use of interior lighting.

SOFTWARES LUMION/PHOTOSHOP/ CINEMA4D/ENSCAPE/ LIGHTROOM

An architectural rendering aims to tell a story and communicate a narrative through lighting, form, and entourage. However this narrative is often dulled by realism and the constraints of a project.

In order to learn more about myself as an artist and develop more digital skills, I sometimes remove these constraints. Which allows me to stretch my imagination and visualize impossible realities both dark and light, to learn about the process and its impact on my visualization skills.

When developing a rendering I often start with a sketch and then move into a 3-D software where I block out forms and determine the subject of the image, this is usually the largest challenge. After the model is complete I render it in one of several softwares and quickly move to the adobe suite where I refine materials, add artifacts and give the image the life which only exists in my head until the final touches are added.

I often wonder how feelings shape space.
