Community Teen Maker Space, Downtown Columbus, Indiana, Fall 2022

This project is a manifestation of two urban characteristics of Columbus, Indiana - the spatial condition of trees and the activity condition of analyzing transportation through roads. These two conditions combined reveal an intriguing argument of Columbus urbanism.

When looking at the roads in Columbus, there is a State Route that rips through the city. Instead of taking their time to view the beautiful city of Columbus, it seemed that people simply used the State Route to get to their desired destination quicker. With that aspect, the roads in Columbus manifest themselves as the circulation in the design.

When looking at the tree and vegetation placement in Columbus, we can see that trees border program. In more bustling areas of the city, or areas that have important program, there is vegetation placed along a grid. Where there is not much going on, such as near the train tracks, the trees are much more sparse and unorganized. The tectonic system manifests itself as the trees, in the buildings design and act tectonically, structurally, and to divide space.

Site Precedent Research: Large slabs suspended over the water help support the building. They also are used as a guideline through the building where the imagined slabs continue, and break up into columns. The thicker slabs represent more private space, whereas the thin columns are public space.

When analyzing The Costa Rica Treehouse, we can see there is an underlying structural tectonic grid. In addition, I analyzed the layers of the house. The outermost layer has wood shutters that are operable and open and close freely in public areas. The more private areas, such as the bedroom, have a double layering of wood shutters that allow for more privacy.

Performance Space, Westcott Neighborhood, Syracuse, NY, Fall 2022 My structures combines aspects from my case study, The Costa Rica Treehouse. The treehouse has an overarching structural grid. I created a system in which the structural grid from my case study was used as a base for my design. I densified the grid in areas that were more private. The columns are placed along the grid and at intersecting grid points. There are 4 types of threshold dividers: thin columns, medium thickness columns, thick columns, and wall slabs. The thinnest columns fill in space around program and provide interesting circulation paths. The medium columns as well as the wall slabs mark private space. The thickest columns mark the outermost layers and divide up program.

Sectional Study, Spring 2022 Started working from a solid-void collage. Then, I made a section and hybrid perspective drawings to start imagining the space. I focused on how light and materiality would draw attention to the main parts of my model, being the hallways. These additions allow for people to have unique experiences where they can experience the affect of light and texture to a space. I also left the second floor wall empty so the textured wall seemed more grand and provided a walkway into an unknown space that is up for interpretation.

Facade Study, Spring 2022 My precedent, Murcia Town Hall, had an intricate facade. I created diagramatic sketches to construct a design that displayed the relationship between stereotomic and tectonic parts of the facade.
