Urban Investigation Charleston, SC

It is no surprise that over the past two decades cities

have become more congested and over populated at an alarming rate. People all over the world have to drive to get to shops, work and school everyday.

The car has become a huge dependability. This has caused large greenhouse gas emmisions, and large traffic problems in many cities. It wastes consumers money, time and resources. Charleston is experiencing these same problems. The vision for the project is to create a new 21st century city block that begins to sustain itself by encouraging foot and bike traffic, condensing necessary programs needed in everyday life, and connecting fractured parts of the city and waterfront. As a result, creating a new diverse and high energy piece of the city. This is important for charleston because its growing at an alarming pace and doesn’t have the means to deal with that expansion. Charleston needs infrastructure upgrades and affordable housing that will help it grow successfully into the furture.

Mitigation

The site for this urban intervention is currently home to the port authority in Charleston. It is located on the Ashley River which is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. Being on a coast, the threat of hurricanes and other natural disasters are quite large which makes the site a “V-Zone” or velocity zone. This is one of the more complicated zones to build in because the first 7’-10’ can not house any occupiable prorams. To statisfy this requirement the buildable site used for all programatic buildings will be raised above this zone. This raised plinth allows parking to be placed beneath and saves all the space on top for pedestrians to safely navigate the area.

The city of Charleston has many different programs within the peninsula on which its located. The progratic mix in most of the city is very poor however.

Most programs are segregated into their own street and zones. To better the lives of people that live in Charleston the project intends to bring all the programs and place them within the site to make them more easily accessible.

Affordable housing is also a very large problem in the peninsula specifically. In order to help the city to become more dense and create more affordable housing for everyone, “housing piers” are to be constructed out over the water with private parking for each unit underneath and row type houses on top

The City of Charleston as a whole does not have a lot of public green spaces or parks throughout. This is not overly recognizable from a human perspective because the city itself has planted many trees and other plant life throughout the city and because many of the closly packed houses have slight reveals of their inner courtyards that passerbys can enjoy. The city also has the very under utilized advantage of being almost completely surrounded by a body of water.

The aim of this project is to connect the two disconnected greens spaces to the sites north and south across the site.

One of the most destrutive problems that Charleston readily faces is the fact that the area flood quite easily. Streets, alleys and walkways flood causing normal everyday traffic to and from work a hassel and sometimes impossible. The project as a whole wants to do its part to combat these issues by reclaiming the natural water edge of the peninsula and bringing the marshlands back into the city for people to enjoy but to also help with the problem of flooding naturally

Algae Incubator + Research Mercer County, KY

The algae research center and incubator is a project focused on creating a space where algae can be studied in order to create

a new renewable energy concept. The algae is grown using carbon diaoxide that is one of the major greenhouse gas emmisions killing the earths atmosphere. It uses the carbon dioxide and gives off clean oxygen once photosynthesis occurs. The building itself is a main building with five labs that can be used by visiting scientists and reseachers. Each lab has a greenhouse attached to complete their experiments. The site is quite steep so it has been terraced to create outdoor areas for visitors but also to create areas where algae can be grown in mass quantities through a series of tube structures. The building has plenty of indirect lighting which helps with both day lighting and growing algae in the greenhouses. Its also dug into the hillside and is outfitted with green roofs to create better thermal properties and reduce the buildings need for any electricity.

Understanding the Suns path over the site and its effect on the building is crucial to the project. The project needs light because one of its major fuctions is growing algae for research but it also cant gain too much heat from the sun. The buidling form looks to reduce the sun exposure on the east and west and give as much indirect light from the south as possible.

Views are also important. The site is a steep hill that overlooks a large lake. The buidling is oriented so that all views are towards the lake and so that as much of the air flow off that lake can be captured and help cool the building.

The building is clustered so that each lab has a greenhouse that is directly attached. The circulation is done by a ramp where each gyometry intersects.

By doing this the labs become connected but still can remain seperate. It will invite each lab to work with the others to come up with better solutions.

A Study Of Typology Lexington, KY HAGIA SOPHIA

+ ROLEX LEARNING CENTER

+ MOSQUE OF CORDOBA

Typology is commonly discussed in architecture as a

fixed entity. Most buildings can be defined as a certain type gernerally speaking. The goal of tis project is to test the definition of typology and attempt to define or create a new type based off studies of existing buildings. dissecting and completely understanding the building is the first step. Next a combination of elements from all three create a “typeform” This typeform is a new entity that should be able to be scaled and used in most instances. Its a new “Type” of architecture. The project is then tested at three scales with different programs in each to see how the “typeform” can grow and learn of any limitations it has.

Site Plan

This project was designed for the COTE

competition for students. As a part of the competition the building had to be tested and studied on specific metrics relating to the sustainability of the building. The project itself is a culinary institute in Chattanooga, TN that is focused on the idea of creating a “New South” cuisine. The institute has a restaurant, greenhouse, cold and hot classrooms, apartments, as well as a distillery and curing area. The facility takes inspiration from local materials and the steel structure that can be seen on the two unique bridges in the area. It also give a nod to the cities old tradition of being a locomotive city. The project is laid out so that each metric has its own image describing how the building will deal with that certain problem sustainably.

Regional + Comunity Design The city of Chattanooga is a very up and coming mid-density urban area. While the walk score for the city as a whole is relatively poor, the areas right around the site for theculinary institute is extremely walkable. It is in fact, at a point in the city where it has the potantial to become a crossroad from north to south and for two of the major attractions and architecturally significant buildings in the city (Tennessee Aquarium + Hunter Museum) By making the terrain of the sight more manageable as well as making a link in the cities chain, the project as a whtole will strengthen the downtown area and allow for it to grow even further into the future.

Fritted glass with signage allows the school to define itself within the city but also keeps out unneeded solar gain especially on the west side of the building

Once a parking lot, the site had become a very baron and poor placed part of the cities infrastructure. It was valueable land going to waste. The Project has now revived the landscape hidden beneath the concrete and is attempting to bring some public space but more importantly much needed green space to the city. By doing this the project hopes to attract local birds and other animals to the area to live and grow. All species of plants and trees planted on site are native to the state and do not attempt to introduce new and unneeded species into the landscape.

Materials + Construction

Materials and transportation of such materials to a building site has become one of the most costly parts of a buildings. Limiting travel distance can be a huge help to any project. this project sources all materials from the state of tennessee and are no further then roughly 100 miles from the site. This will hopefully boost the states economy and allow buidlers and designers alike the freedom then need in design while giving back to the state and city that is giving them the work to begin with.

METRIC: % OF BUILDING THAT CAN BE DAYLIT ONLY DURING OCCUPIED HOURS - 70% % OF BUILDING THAT HAS VIEWS TO OUTDOORS - 66% % OF BUILDING THAT HAS OPERABLE WITHIN 15’ - 52%

Light + Air The Design for this building aspires to expertly use passive lighting and air flows to help take away from the buildings demand on electricity and fossil fuels throughout the day.

Techniques such as clerestories, opurable windows and a green house buffer all play important roles in the functioning within the building.

Mastering the use of these elements and techniques allows comfortability all year long.

Bioclimactic Design The Culinary arts are all about the food. The includes everything from taste, presentation and temperature. The systems intergrated into the design are aware of the importance of these aspects and especially those related to temperature. With operable windows througout, clerestroies in the classrooms to promote evenly lit learning spaces without too much solar gain and the use of radiant heat and cooling from both the beams above and the floor below the spaces within should be easily and efficiently tempered for comfortability.

Water Cycle The Use of gray water for things like irrigation can be hugely influencial in shrinking a buildings carbon foorprint and allowing some relief to the municiple water system.

With the collection of rainwater on the mostly flat rood and stroring it in a tank underneath the ground, the project allows the use of this evenly termpered water throughout the project. Also, the use of the heat trapped behind the enormous amount of solar panels placed on the rood will allow the water to be heated passively which can also go on to heat some of the air througout.

Radiant cooling throughout the teaching kitchens and class rooms allow for comfortable temperatures to be maintained with less impact on food temperature.

Bioclimactic Design

The Greenhouse acts as a buffer between from temperatures outside. With opperable windows. it acts as a way of passively heating and cooling the buildings as well as cleaning the air within.

Support Material Craft + Design Modeling and reseach are extremely important when studying architecture. there is always something to be learned from drawing, crafting and making. Craft is one of the most important ideas any designer can learn because it doesnt only mean that someone can make something look great, it also means they totally understand the methods and practices that go into This section is dedicated to models, drawings.

The drawings were created in a explorative studio that dedicated itself to studying drawing machines and crafting them to make drawings that range from totally unpredictable to totally controled and learning from the results.
