SITE PLAN

THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A TEMPORARY SHELTER FOR THE LAGI COMPETITION THAT WOULD BE POWERED BY THE GENERATORS CREATED FOR THE COMPETITION AND POTENTIALLY BE ALIGNED OR BUILT WITHIN IT. THIS SHELTER IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES COURSE TO COME OUT COMPOSED OF THREE STUDENTS AND ONE PROFESSOR TO STUDY THE NATIVE SPECIES AS WELL AS WAYS TO PRESERVE THE LAND. THE SHELTER USES A SERIES OF 3’ PANELS TO ASSEMBLE BETWEEN STEEL BEAMS.

TITLE

Technology: WINDBELT TURBINES IS COMPOSED OF A RUBBER BELT BETWEEN TWO MAGNETS THAT VIBRATE WITH THE WIND TO CREATE KINETIC ENERGY TO GENERATE POWER.

Circulation: THE PURPOSE FOR THIS IS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO ENTER THROUGH ONE END GATHER WITHIN AND EXIT THE OPPOSITE END.

Inspiration: THE FORM WAS INSPIRED FROM THE LOCAL PRONGHORNS ANTLERS AND THE WINDBELTS MIMIC RIBBON ART CURVILINEAR ORIENTATION.

Placement: THE CURVES OF THE GENERATOR FLOW ALONG WITH THE CURVES OF THE LAKE WHILE BEING FACED TO CAPTURE OPTIMAL WINDSPEEDS.

THIS PROJECT WAS BASED OFF OF THE GUIDELINES FOR THE LAGI COMPETITION. THE PURPOSE WAS TO CREATE A GENERATOR THAT SERVED WAS BUILT TO LAST AND SUPPORT ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION ALL WHILE CREATING AN ART PIECE AS WELL. MY PARTNER, ALEXIA SIMIONI, WERE APPOINTED THE TASK TO CREATE A WIND POWERED GENERATOR THAT SHOWS WIND AND MOVEMENT WHICH WAS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE WINDBELT TECHNOLOGY AS WELL AS HE ORIENTATION OF THE STRUCTURE.

Part to Whole

PART TO WHOLE STANDS FOR THE REPETITIOUS USE OF ONE PART, IN MY PARTNER NATHAN BEJIL AND MY CASE WAS THE DODECAHEDRON, AND THEN ARRANGE 99 OF THEM TO FORM A WHOLE DESIGN. THE DESIGN IS FORMED TO MIMIC MOTION AS A BALL WOULD BE BOUNCING WITHIN A BOX AS IT HAS TWO SMOOTH RIBBONS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT ARMS EMERGING FROM IT. THE DESIGN INCORPORATES SYMMETRY AND MULTIPLE SLOT CONDITIONS WITHIN IT AS WELL TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE STEADY OF MOTION.

Library and Garden

PLAN

SITE PLAN

THIS PROJECT TO DESIGN A LIBRARY AND GARDEN SPECIFICALLY FOR A CLIENT THAT INCORPORATES MULTIPLE PROGRAMS SUCH AS A LIBRARY FOR THE CLIENT AS WELL AS A GARDEN INCLUDING A BERM, A NORTH STAR VIEWING WINDOW, AN EXTRACTION, A WATER SEQUENCE AND AN ALLY OF TREES. THE REST OF THE DESIGN WAS LEFT TO US WITH THE USE OF MODULAR AND SCALAR GRIDS THAT ASSIST IN THE APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE SLOT CONDITIONS AND VIEW POINTS. LASTLY WE WERE PAIRED UP WITH A CLASSMATE TO ALIGN OUR GRIDS AND APPLY SOME OF THEIR GRIDDING INTO OUR PLANS OF THE GARDEN.

Maison Cook Entry Sequence Study

TITLE

THESE ARE ENTRY SEQUENCE STUDIES OF MAISON COOK DESIGNED BY LE CORBUSIER CONSISTING OF THREE MAIN SLOTS THAT THE OUTER TWO LEAD YOU TO THE MAIN STAIRCASE. THE BOTTOM RIGHT IMAGE IS A STUDY DONE WITH ONE HORIZONTAL AND SEVEN VERTICAL PLANES TO CREATE A SLOT STUDY OF THE ENTRY SEQUENCE. THE BOTTOM LEFT IMAGE FURTHER STUDIES THE SLOTS BY THE USE OF TWENTY-ONE PLANES WITH THE SLOTS EXTRACTED FROM THEM TO PORTRAY THE STEADY FLOW.

Light Box

Light Box

THIS LIGHT BOX WAS MEANT TO BE A LIGHT STUDY TO SET DESIGN AN ENCLOSED BOX WITH MULTIPLE LIGHT/VIEW PORTS ON THE EXTERIOR PLANES AND MULTIPLE PROGRAMS WITHIN TO SHOW DIFFUSED, DIRECT AND INDIRECT LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE BOX.
