THE CONCEPT BEGAN BY DEVELOPING A DESIGN THAT IS REPRESENTATIVE OF EQUITY ON RANGING SCALES, THE MOST PROMINENT BEING BALANCE AND PROGRAMMATIC ACCESS. THE MARKET ACTS AS A GATEWAY TO THE CHINATOWN NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH ENGORCES EQUITY AS A DRIVER FOR DESIGN.

CONSTELLATION CAMPUS: RESIDENCE
CLASS: ARCH 545 - ARCH. STUDIO V | PROFESSORS: PAUL ENDRES, SUSAN CONGER-AUSTIN
PROJECT TEAM: TUCKER TOUCHETTE, SPENCER GOFF
LOCATION: MIAMI, FLORIDA | DATE: JANUARY, 2022
THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SOCIETY TO TEST THE FUNDAMENTALS AND STRUCTURE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM ACROSS A 100 YEAR TIMELINE. THE CONSTELLATION CAMPUS SERVES AS A LEARNING ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE CONTEXT OF POSTANTHROPOGENIC HUMAN LIFE. MIAMI IS THE PRIME LOCATION FOR THIS PROJECT DUE TO ITS CONVERGENCE OF IMMIGRANTS THEREFORE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EDUCATE THE GLOBAL MASSES.

THE TOWER WILL BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR NEIGHBORHOODS WITH EACH FUNCTIONING AS AN INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS. CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY IS DIVIDED ALONG NEIGHBORHOOD BOUNDARIES, FUTURE DISTINCTIONS WILL BE NEIGHBORHOODS SEPARATED BY INTEREST. THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE WHERE YOU SPEND YOUR DAY, WORKING AND LEARNING, PUTTING LESS EMPHASIS ON SEMINAR ROOMS, LECTURE HALLS, AND THE HIERARCHY OF TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND MORE EMPHASIS ON “THIS IS OUR LIFE AND THIS IS HOW WE DO IT.”

CLASS: ARCH 497 - ENTREPENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT| PROFESSOR: DAVID KLEIMAN
PROJECT TEAM: TUCKER TOUCHETTE
LOCATION: PRINTERS ROW, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS | DATE: MAY, 2022
I BELEIVE THAT ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL SHOULD BETTER PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE ARE AND PRACTICING IN A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY. I PURSUED THIS INTEREST BY DEVELOPING A CLASS PERTAINING TO PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE. I ASSEMBLED A GROUP OF STUDENTS AND OUTLINED A COURSE THAT REQUIRED STUDENTS TO DESIGN A BUILDING TO CHICAGO BUILDING AND ZONING CODE. ONCE THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED, STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO PERFORM A PRO FORMA AND CODE/ZONING ANALYSIS TO UNDERSTAND THE FINANCES AND LEGALITY OF BUILDING A HIGH-RISE.

CLASS: ARCH 482 - ARCH. MATERIALS: FIBROUS | PROFESSOR: PAUL ENDRES
TEAM: TUCKER TOUCHETTE | LOCATION: N/A|
DATE: JANUARY, 2022
ARC. 482 WAS A CAPSTONE ARCHITECTURE STRUCTURES CLASS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON WOOD DESIGN. IN THIS COURSE STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO DESIGN A COLUMN, BEAM, AND SURFACE TO BE ELEGANT AND STRUCTURALLY EFFICIENT. IN THIS DESIGN, THE BEAM AND COLUMN ARE DESIGNED AS A CABLE-STAY SYSTEM TO PREVENT BUCKLING AND DEFLECTION. IN THE COLUMN, THE CABLE-STAY SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR AN 18 KIP LOAD ON A 4X4 TAPERED WOOD COLUMN. THIS SYSTEM CONTAINS A CONNECTION WITH 13 ELEMENTS COMING TO ONE POINT, 10 ELEMENTS COMING TO ONE POINT, AND 9 ELEMENTS COMING TO ONE POINT, CREATING A COMPLICATED AND DELICATE SYSTEM OF DETAILING.

COMPETITION:
PROJECT TEAM: TUCKER TOUCHETTE, LUKE LAGESON, SPENCER GOFF
LOCATION: BRONZEVILLE CHICAGO, ILLINOIS | DATE: JANUARY, 2023
THE COMPETITION WAS TO CREATE A BIOPHILIC RESIDENCE IN AN URBAN CONTEXTTHERE WAS NO PROGRAM OR SCOPE REQUIREMENTS. MY TEAM CREATED A MODULAR COMPLEX THAT COULD BE BUILT UP OVER TIME. CONNECTED TO A HISTORIC CHURCH WITH THE GOAL OF REVITALIZING THE CHICAGO BRONZEVILLE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE INTENTION OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO GIVE A PLAZA, PARK AND EVENT SPACE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO INTERIOR HALLWAY, SO EACH RESIDENCE IS REACHED THROUGH THE COURTYARD THROUGH A SERIES OF TRAILS IN THE GARDEN.
