My name is Tyller Blackburn I am a 24 year old designer from Pittsburgh PA. I moved to Boston in 2015 to study architecture at the Boston Architectural College. I previously graduated from Slippery Rock University with a bachelor’s of art in Art. While at Slippery Rock I specialized in sculpture which had a focus on building things. I used this to support my interest in architecture. Throughout my learning process I have realized that I have a strong interest in residential architecture. Although I have no problem with large scale commercial design and large scale private projects, my goal is to engage in urban communities as directly as possible. To me the most important thing about architecture is the people that use it. I would rather have a building that is able to be useful to a community for centuries than any prize or accolade. I have also been intrigued by sustainability and the idea that a building can be “smart� and adaptable. In my opinion the perfect design for me would be sustainable residential architecture. I have learned a lot while here in Boston and i plan to keep excelling in my studies to accomplish my goals.

DIA ART GALLERY This project is a conceptual project, located in the back bay area. Currently the space is a outdoor park for children. It is covered with turf and a jungle gym. The space is also surrounded by trees providing shade.The space sits on the corner of a relativelyinactive intersection, and is bordered by two buildings on the east and south sides of the
space. For this project I was tasked with creating a gallery space on the site. The gallery is suppoosed to relate to 3 art pieces of my choosing. The goal was to design the gallery in a way that it reflects the essence of each peice of art.

Site Photo 6
The 3 pieces I decided on were Tara Donovans “Styrofoam Cloud”, Cornelia Parker’s “Hanging Fire Suspected Arson”, and Walter De Maria’s “The Equal Series”. The spacial qualities I designed in the museum relate to each art pieces’ relationship with the human form. The Equal Series is on the subterranean floor because it exists on the floor.
The Styrofoam Cloud exists in the space above the human form so it is on the top cantilevered floor. The Hanging Fire Suspected Arson exists in the same space as the human form so it is on the ground level.

Above you will see the models divided in a way that you can see the art work and how it corresponds to spaces. The models are also matched with the corresponding floor plans. When I was designing this building the conceptual idea I was pushing was this idea of earth, heaven, and hell. This concpt also heavily influenced the art pieces that I chose. The
top floor holds the Tara Donovan piece which is the only piece that light is a part of the art. The material on the top floor is also made from a translucent glass material giving the space a celestial experience from the inside and outside. The other floors are designed similarly.

CHARLESTOWN FERRY TERMINAL This is another conceptual project that is located on the corner of Commercial street and North Washington street. It is currently Prince Street Park which is a tennis court and green space next to a skating rink and the Charlestown Bridge. The goal of this project was to learn how analysis of site influences design.
Another thing that I was tasked to analyze was a precedent study that I was assigned. The precedent that I got was the 2002 Serpentine Pavillion by Toyo Ito. After studying that project and the site itself, I drew on that knowledge to design my Charlestown Ferry Terminal.

The program we were given for the design was - Had to have a petty cab station - Had to have a outdoor space - Had to have a bike storage space - Had to have bathrooms on site - Had to have a a connection to the water Some of these thing the site already had so some of
the struggle was deciding what to keep and what to change. Overall I think I found a good balance and came up with a great design.

The design I came up with was an elevated linear design. This design was all about threshold and through this project I learned just how important threshold is in differentiating spaces. The thresholds that define the transitions into each space are changes in elevation. The way I introduce the visitor into each space is with some change in elevation. The two spaces I absolutely wanted the station to
have was a view space high enough to see the Ferry comming, and a leisure space outdoor as a sort of park area that separates you from the surroundings. The way I acomplished this was by raising the viewing area and depressing the outdoor space. This creates a boundary that isolates you in the space that I created.

Another way I define space is with compression. My aim was to give a compression experience to the threshould spaces for two reasons. The first reason is so people wouldnt linger there and clog traffic. The second reason is to create intrest in the space that the threshold is leading to.

BRIGHAMS BOUTIQUE BAGS site and the Circle is important. Another thing that
This conceptual project is located across from The Stop and Shop parking lot at Brighams Circle. The site is currently a paid parking lot that is gated and sits on a very steep incline.the incline gives the site a few very unique qualities. One of those qualities is the fact that it overlooks all of the action that goes on in Brighams Circle. The Circle gets a lot of traffic and attention so the visual connection between the
proved to be very important to the process of my design is the tectonics of the surrounding buildings. The goal of the studio was to learn the importance of tectonics and how to create a tectonic language that reflects your design desicions and the fabric of the context the project is in.

Tectonics is the poetry in the way materials interact with each other as well as the way the stuctural system and the chosen materials work together to support the building. For me grasping this was challenging because previously I had only thought of design as a formal practice. Understanding how design and tectonics influence each other and even how formal design can express itself in the tectonics
of a bulding improved my design immensly.

I was tasked with creating a maker space on the site. The type of maker was up to me and I decided to create a boutique custom backpack shop. The reason I decided to create a backpack maker space is becuase I think backpack design and architecture are similar in the idea that we both design creative compartments for different things. Architects creat compartments for people whereas
backpack designers create compartments for a wide assortment of supplies. After grasping how tectonics work, I was able to create my own system based on my design. My design began as an exercise where I cut a bunch of triangles and simply put them together any way that they fit. Allowing for almost autonomus design.

Section 2 20
As I continued to iterate my design I kept adding more rules to the process and tweak the spaces as neccesarry. This gave birth to a very unconventional form. Tectonically I designed this building using a 3 pronged wall system that acomplishes the job of structure, form, and program seemlessly througout the building. One thing I took from the fabric of brighams circle was the layering of wally systems
that almost every building seemed to be using. I wanted to incoperate that somehow so there is a layer for every sort of program in my design.

The different wall assemblies differ in permeability. By permeability I am refering to sun, vision, and sound. The level of permeability and level change of each space work together to provide a unique experience for every level of privacy/intimacy.
In order to realize both the form and the wall assmblies I worked a lot in model form. It was very helpful for me to see these things physically come together for me to fully grasp my design. Because of how complex things eventually became clarity was very important.

HYDROTECH This conceptual project is located across from Wonderland Station in Revere MA. Unlike my other projects this was a masterplanning project. The site is currently a big parking lot and a struggling salt marsh. I decided to propose a desalination plant on the site because the site is bordered by the Mass. Bay and the salt marsh. There is a lot of water around and I saw an opportunity to use that water
more effectively. The criteria for this project was that I had to have some connection to the water and the train station. The way I did this was by program and by circulation. The fact that it is desal plant and the fact that I am adding more water to the site makes a very strong connection to the water and the way that I designed the circulation connects it to the station.

One of the challenges of this project was being very intentional about my design moves. This was because one of the goals was to disturb the marsh as little as possible, and if I had to do something drastic I needed a very strong reason why. This became a road block for me but I was able to design a good comprimise that didnt affect the marsh too much but gave me the space Ineeded in my design.

Master Plan 27
Creating a masterplan was extremely challenging for me because I had never worked on a scale this big. The idea of carrying a concept through a design over a entire region was mindboggling to me. Throughout the process I developed a conceptual idea that was strong enough to carry through the project.
The overarching concept was this idea of “spine�. The idea that there was a origination line through the site from which everything else builds off of. The spine becomes apparent in two ways the first being the very clear water spine that becomes the spine for the desal buildings. The second spine is the circulation spine that cuts through the site.

The steps I used to create the masterplan was very simple. The process just consisted of merging existing site conditions with desired conditions. Everything boils down to 6 steps and these steps all build off of each other you cant move on to the next step until the one before it is complete. The 3 concepts that were important were community, education, and desalinaion.
STEP 1 - Chosing the flow of water based on water sources. STEP 2 - chosing where the desal building would be based on the order of processes. STEP 3 - Chosing the shape of the buildings STEP 4 - Choosing where hills and valleys will be. STEP 5 - Choosing the topography. STEP 6 - Chosing the spines.

The sections were a pivitol point for me because they helpled me design in layers. I realized that the sequence of experience happens in layers not just an abrupt building. this also helped me strengthen the relationship of the typologies to each other. Another relationship that the sections helped me stregthen was the buildings relationship with the water, and the spine of circulation.
The section drawings also helped me see the role that vegitation can play in design. Vegitation can be a buffer or a threshold as well as a boundary. Designing in section became the main vehicle for my design.

Ultimately I think my total design does a good job of communicating community, education, and desalination. I also think I did a great job of bringing those three concepts together on one site and allowing my concept of spine to organize them.

This project was about evaluating the sustainability of a project I had done. The project I chose was The Hydrotech Project because it was the most recent project I had worked on. This allowed me to change my design while considering things I had never thought of before. Alot of the things I changed in my design didnt actually requre “redesign” it just required specification.
This ultimately resulted in me specifying materials and getting more in depth on some decisions I had previously made.

The design ened up being theoretically LEED Platinum. Working toward this force me to think about things like water efficency and ground permeability. I found it very difficult to apply most of these sustainable strategies to an entire site because when people speak on these strategies they refer to them at a building scale not at the scale that I was working at.
One thing in particular that was difficult to grasp was the daylighting. The idea of daylighting a site was a little difficult to grasp but I reached a comprimise that allowed me to orient my buildings in a way that they all recieve maximum hours of daylight.

Sendai Mediatheque Steel
Material Diagram 39
SENDAI MEDIATHEQUE This project was a case study project about the sustainability and capacity of materials. The case study I chose was Toyo Ito’s Sendai Mediatheque. This diagram shows the structural system and how that affects both the program and the experience of the the space. The material I chose to focus on was steel because most of the building is steel and glass. The steel also does most of the work in the
building, it contributes to the affect, the aesthetics, and the structure of the building.

33 WOODVILLE STREET For this project I was tasked with evaluating a real built project that we worked on and had access to. I decided to go with a project on 31-33 Woodville street. I had worked very minimally on this project but it was a project that we had just finished at Youth Build Boston, so I had access to the information. At the end of the project I was supposed to change the design in a way that made the building envelope
more efficent and sustainable. The two things I decided to change were the design of the windows and the design of the wall assembly. Previously the windows were flush with the face of the wall and were regular windows. I changed the windows to recessed high effiency, Low E windows. This helps with heat retention and keeping the window from seeing much moisture.

I changed the wall to a vented wall system this helps the moisture that gets into the wall system evaporate and increases the efficiency of the wall system.

BPL WORKSPACE
This project was designed as a supplementary space to the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. It is on top of the garage on the west side of the library. The project was more about rendering than design itself. The actual design of the space was also important but the goal of the exercise was to increase the level of visual communication.
Perspective 3
This visual communication took shape in many ways; renderings, diagrams, perspectives, axonx, etc. This project allowed me to make all of that communication stronger and clearer.

The project was an open workspace for students to be able to work 24/7. There was also to be a leisure space on the outside of the building that was used for leisure. The big idea for the entire project was for something massive and heavy to hold something light and elegant. This is communicated in the techtonics and in the program itself.

FARNSWORTH HOUSE CASE STUDY This project was a study on the Farnsworth House The second Part of this project was digitally adding by Mies Van De Rohe. I needed to research and diagram information I found about the house. The main piece for this project was visual representation and honing techinacl skill. This involved composing a construction drawing by hand.
context and life to the image we had hand drawn.

24 TRULL STREET This is a project I worked on as a part of Youth Build Boston’s Designery. The Designery is a divison of YBB that specializes in working with youth, teaching them valuable architectural skills. At the Designery I worked with Students ranging from ages 14-18 years old. The Idea is to provide students that have an intrest in architecture with an opportunity to be exposed to it and to explore it.

DESIGN STRATEGY THE PRIMARY DESIGN STRATEGY IS TO MIRROR THE ADJACENT BUILDING ON 26 TRULL STREET. CURRENTLY THERE IS HALF A GABLE MASS ON 26 TRULL STREET. OUR PROJECT WILL CONNECT WITH THIS EXISTING MASS, COMPLETE THE GABLE AND EXTEND TOWARDS WARE STREET FOR ADDITIONAL SQUARE FOOTAGE. OUR BUILDING WILL BE A 2 FAMILY BUILDING, WITH 1378 SQ.FT. PER UNIT OVER THREE FLOORS. EACH UNIT WILL HAVE 3 BEDROOMS, 2.5 BATHS, IN-UNIT LAUNDRY, MECHANICAL CLOSET, AND A 2 HR. FIRE RATED PARTY WALL DIVIDING THE TWO UNITS. THERE WILL BE NO BASEMENT.

At the Designery I also worked on Small scale residental projects. The one I was most involved with was the 24 Trull st. Project. This project was designed as a 2 family project. The site however has a special condition in that it is to be abbuting the current house which currently is only half of a house.

One of the contiditions of the site were that we had to visually match the front face of the existing house to maintain a continuity of aesthetics. This combined with the setback and zoning conditions made for a difficult time designing but we were able to overcome those challenges one by one to come up with a great design.

What we ended up doing was just doing a mirrored floor plan for the two units. The units are divided by a wall that also acts as a plumbing wall for both units. In the beginning the two units were only going to be 2 stories but then we realized that the height neccesary to match the existing conditions could accomodate 3 stories. We saw this as an opportunity to add an extra bedroom and bathroom.

Another thing that changed how we designed was the fact taht the site sits on a pretty drastic hill. This affected where our ground level would be and our floor to floor heights.

After we finishied designing the the scheme itself we moved on to elevation aesthetics.This phase was all about deciding what material we would clad the building in and what color it would be. There was a struggle between shingle and clapboard which was our desired aesthetic. In an effort to match the existing I suggested we go with shigle siding and make our distiction in the color we use.
