PRECEDENT STUDY
OBJECTIVE: There were two parts to this second-year project. The first was
to render an abstraction of the key design concepts behind an exemplary structure by hand (shown on the left). Continuing with the emphasis on hand-drawing, the second was to create diagrams that reflect and explain the design thinking behind the same established architectural precedent (shown on the right-hand side).

T.O. FOUNDATION 3/8" = 1'-0"
OBJECTIVE: To develop a thorough design for a tiny residence (approximately 200 square feet) to be set in the semi-off-grid community that is the Lama Foundation. As a design-build class, each student was asked to produce a design that could potentially be built on site in New Mexico. Consequently, passive solar heating was a primary concern due to the site’s minimal electrical availabilty and high-altitude location.

KAVA HUT
KEY CONCEPTS
80000
In terms of passive solar design, my cabin features a trombe wall in which sunlight penetrates a glass barrier into a small cavity. The sunlight is then absorbed as heat by an internal layer with a high heat capacity (masonry wall shown above). Equally important is the utilization of the concrete slab in the bedroom as a thermal mass. Other key features include a timber-frame structure and an 18”-thick stem wall along the building’s north and east side, which is composed of ICF’s (Insulated Concrete Forms). 7

DESIGN INTERVENTION
OBJECTIVE: To develop a small portion of the previously established Master Plan (i.e. approximately 4 acres). Utilization of natural vegetation must be integrated into the design. The space must also accommodate a variety of users and a range of user group sizes. 12

REDESIGN
OBJECTIVE: Given an intersection in Boulder, CO, I had to redesign the crossroads to allow for a more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environment. Consequently, this meant reducing driving lane widths and increasing vegetation along roadways. Physical buffers and barriers such as stone planters and curbs were then utilized to separate vehicular traffic from nonvehicular forms of traffic.

LIGHTING DESIGN
CONFERENCE ROOM
PSYCHOLOGY OF LIGHT
OBJECTIVE: In this assignment my partner and I were given the task of creating a conference room model at a 1�:1’
scale. Within the conference room we created one conference table and ten conference chairs as well as two pieces of art on the opposite walls. The objective was to create a lighting design that creates a desired impression for its users. Through our lighting design we strived to achieve the subjective impressions of spaciousness, relaxation, visual clarity, and pleasantness. The types of lighting that we chose were overhead indirect ambient lighting, linear side lighting along the walls, and direct overhead lighting. The ultimate goal was to layer the lighting in various ways to achieve the different types of subjective impressions required.
Spaciousness: Our lighting design is marked by higher
illuminance levels on vertical surfaces (i.e. walls) since we were attempting to create a feeling of horizontal openness as opposed to vertical height. We utilized stronger, neutral white perimeter lighting as a means of accomplishing this. High reflectances on vertical surfaces (walls) Moderate central illuminance on task
Relaxation: We utilized warmer light sources (most notably by converting the LED source to red) as well as lower light levels on perimeter in comparison with central space. Some spill from the primary light source (i.e. 65W flood) found its way to the back wall, which adds some visual variety. The task was first brought to the required illuminance and the perimeter lighting was secondary.
*Tools Used: Rhino, Laser Cutter (Model & Furniture), LED Strips, 65W Flood R30, 45W Spot PAR20
Visual Clarity & Pleasantness: In order to accomplish
both of these subjective impressions we utilized key elements of each. Since visual clarity allows for the establishment of visual edges, and pleasantness is characterized by visual variety in terms of horizontal and vertical illuminances, we merged the two. Neither rely on diffuse lighting, so while we did utilize a flood lamp, we made sure that it did not overpower the space with ambient light. This primary source establishes visual borders, noticeable in the definition of chair and table edges.

There are many potential difficulties that can arise when one enters the stadium. Because there are few right angles there is an apparent lack of spatial definition. The lighting design thus seeks to rectify the situation.
