Phillip McVean Designs: a collaboration with designer Phillip McVean in 2012-2013 producing a wide variety of custom furniture. Clients ranged from individuals, to high-end design firms, to businesses commisionning custom pieces of furniture. We also performed set-design type work for several window displays and photo shoots. I was primarily responsible for the custom carpentry and structural framing but also assisted in design and 3-D modeling in Sketch Up as well as upholstery of pieces.

feedback track: a competition entry for the 2012 Cleveland Design Competition reimagines the abandoned lower-level of the Detroit-Superior Bridge. Feedback is a self-sufficient track that makes the bridge as much a destination as it is a connector. Bike share stations make it more accessible for diverse uses at either end of the bridge and in the Central Span, the bicycle path rises into a one-way elevated track loop, allowing for unique views and traffic control around a central performance space.

212 South Walton: an apartment building in Deep Ellum, Texas that used to be an old hotel. In 2012 I stayed in the center downstairs unit along with Darius Goodson, and we designed and built the interior to accomodate our individual living needs as well as a performance art and gallery space. My apartment space shown was constructed completely out of recycled materials and featured a lofted bed, movable standing desk and compact shelving in a very efficient amount of space.

PARK(ade): an interactive videogame arcade deployed on Main Street, Dallas for their second annual Park(ing) Day event. The PARK(ade)s were built in a day using recycled cardboard and featured games including Scramble, Connect Four, and Battle Ship. The classic two-player games which are widely known, got a lot of attention from people of all ages and prompted lots of spontaneous and casual interaction. The photo of the project above was featured on the Dallas Observerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Website.

Oak Lawn Coffee: a collaboration with Dallas based artist and designer Philip McVean transformed the interior of a local coffee shop. Sparked through friendships, and built around an ethic of collaboration and re-use, ceiling tiles were fabricated using 100% reclaimed material including pallet wood and other stock collected off the streets of Dallas. Chopped into smaller pieces and stacked in varying directions, the panels add an intriguing and eco-friendly texture to the coffee bar.

building community WORKSHOP: a Dallas based non-profit community design center seeking to improve the livability and viability of communities through the practice of thoughtful design and making. We enrich the lives of citizens by bringing design thinking to areas of our city where resources are most scarce. To do so, the bcWORKSHOP recognizes that it must first understand the social, economic, and environmental issues facing a community before beginning work.

power plus: a bcWORKSHOP energy education initiative begun in 2011 to assess the post-occupancy operation of the Congo Street LEED homes and provide residents with an understanding of how to most efficiently control energy use within their homes. The project was structured under the SEED framework for addressing and measuring social, environmental, and economic impacts of Design. The process also employed advanced energy software and monitoring devices, as well as analog â&#x20AC;&#x153;toolsâ&#x20AC;? for engaging residents.

In weeks 9-12, the goal was again to maintain a $20/week electricity bill, making the monthly goal $80. In weeks 9 and 10 energy use continued to decline going from $21.45 to $18.60 in week ten. In weeks 11 and 12 costs increased again primarily due to changing seasons, and the switch from air-conditioning to heat.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Weeks Seven and Eight: Over a four week period, Erica used $2.18 (18.16 kWh) of power for TV, cable, and videogames (although she hasn’t been playing videogames much at all, mostly just TV). That’s on average $0.07/day for entertainment in the bedroom. Consider 3 TV’s in the house, and assume that they are all drawing about the same amount of power, the overall TV/ Entertainment bill for a month is around $6.00 and less than 7% of the total bill, meaning refrigeration accounts for a slightly larger amount than entertainment.

REFRIGERATOR

Weekly Energy Savings: HVAC

NOTES

Weeks Five and Six: Over a two week period, the deep freezer used $1.49. That’s $0.75/week ($3.19/month, $38.28/year, or 2.9% of last year’s energy bill). The ice chest is kept full and only opened occasionally for a few seconds, so the freezer doesn’t actually run very often. The refrigerator costs about twice as much to operate as the freezer, at about $1.40/week ($5.60/month, $67.20/year , or 5.3% of last year’s energy bill) This makes the total refrigeration costs about $8.79/month (9.8% of October’s Energy Bill, and 8.2% of last year’s total)

COOKING: As the weather has changed to cooler temperatures in October and adjustments were made to the thermostat, cooking is now the biggest portion of the energy bill (estimated at $23.87/ month cooking accounted for 27% of the monthly bill in October). Try reducing cooking energy use by preparing larger portions at a time and reheating leftovers in the microwave. Additonally, the excess heat from the oven/ range can help heat your home in the winter and reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC.

LAUNDRY: Try washing clothes in a cold cycle to reduce the energy consumption of the Hot Water Heater. Hot Water Heating is the only energy cost that has consistently increased since beginning the program in September. Also, consider rewearing clothes more times before washing them. When drying clothes combine multiple loads from the washer into a single dryer load. Additionally make sure that the dryer vent is clean before starting a load and consider reserving multiple laundry loads to one or two days a week, that way the dryer will already be heated up and use less energy per load. Keep in mind that the dryer uses much more power than the washer and costs near $3.00 per week. COOKING: As the weather has changed to cooler temperatures in October and adjustments were made to the thermostat, cooking is now the biggest portion of the energy bill (estimated at $23.87/ month cooking accounted for 27% of the monthly bill in October).

Erica’s thermostat should be set to an even lower temperature (2-4º less) than the downstairs unit because the heat will drift up from the rest of the house.

HEATING AND COOKING: Try reducing cooking energy use by preparing larger portions at a time and reheating leftovers in the microwave. Additonally, the excess heat from the oven/ range can help heat your home in the winter and reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC. Keep the thermostat at 68º or below for heating, and 78º or above for cooling. Use fans to circulate air throughout the house and manage a comfortable temperature without running the HVAC system. This can be especially important in the winter because cooking behaviors will help to heat the house, especially if you leave the oven

LAUNDRY: Consider re-wearing clothes more times before washing them. When drying clothes combine multiple loads from the washer into a single dryer load. Additionally make sure that the dryer vent is clean before starting a load and consider reserving multiple laundry loads to one or two days a week, that way the dryer will already be heated up and use less energy per load. Keep in mind that the dryer uses much more power than the washer and average costs of $3.43 per week this past month.

The main focus of the meeting was to see what types of behaviors Frankie had maintained although we haven’t met in four weeks. We were also seeking feedback from Frankie on what she learned from the program, what was most helpful, what she thought about the technology, and what changes can improve the process. Frankie said that the most helpful thing for her was just seeing the costs of different appliances in the house. She saw that small changes in the thermostat made big changes, while her costs actually increased slightly when she shutdown the computer everyday rather than just keeping it is sleep mode. Frankie would probably achieve significant additional savings by by plugging TV’s, computers, DVD players, cellphones, and other miscellaneous devices into a power strip, and turning it off when she leaves the house or goes to bed. Still, Frankie isn’t interested in doing this, it requires a little too much effort for

Week Twelve: Air conditioning use rose by 44% in the last week of April. While the air-conditioning load has been low thus far, as the temperature increases residents will need to adjust their thermostat to keep costs down while staying comfortable. For each degree change on the thermostat, resident’s will save 10% of their cooling costs.

Week Nine: The total cost for the week was $47.14. In June, the Air-Conditioning has become the largest energy consumer while water heating has decreased just slightly. Together these two appliances cost $25.11, and account for 53% of the weekly energy bill.

Self Sufficient City: the third Advanced Architecture Contest held by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (Iaac). Adam Kerechanin, Natalie Cregar, and Joanna McCrehan entered their project environmental_HUB, a model for eco-tourism in Barcelona. Out of 708 proposals from 116 countries, environmental_HUB was one of the 107 finalists to be published in the book by ACTAR. Filed under the category of Parametric Urbanism, environmental_HUB reframes tourism in terms of a self-sufficient cycle.

Fibonotches: a team competition to design and fabricate an exhibition space for the Clemson School of Architecture at the AIA South Atlantic Regional Conference. Upon winning the competition we faced the daunting task of fabricating the exhibit walls (comprised of over 40,000 pieces of notched cardboard) in just over a week. By refining the design, delegating tasks, and collaborating with students in packaging science, the four of us were able to design, cut, and assemble the display in just five days.

1. The Core; The house is built around a prefabricated core unit that contains the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room plumbing within a centralized unit. 2. The Trusses; Custom prefab trusses define the building in section and in theory are raised on site similar to a barn raising, in actuality this phase required a crane. 3. The SIPS; Structural Insulated Panels were also prefabricated to the design of the house to interlock like a puzzle, and were manually raised into place against the truss frame.

DDB NOLA: Digital Design-Build New Orleans, Louisianna began as a creative inquiry course headed by Clemson professor Doug Hecker. I became involved with the project near the beginning of its construction in the summer of 2008. The design is based on the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;mass customizationâ&#x20AC;? which involves 3 basic components, the Core, the Trusses, and the SIPS. Over the course of a year I returned to New Orleans 3 times to assist in the assembly of all 3 components.

Field Studies: a course dedicated to experiencing the built environment and developing studies of contemporary buildings visited throughout europe in 2008. While studying in an urban studio setting in Barcelona, Spain, this project developed a greater understanding of building function and form. Each study synthesizes what is discovered through drawing, with that seen in photographic form. The combination of the two tends to highlight structure, connection, and function in iconic architecture.

The London Authority City Hall has emerged as a new landmark for the city. It is one of the capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most symbolically important projects designed by one of Great Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading architects, Foster and Partners. The design takes on a strange bulbous shape meant to reduce surface area and thus improve energy efficiency. The form is developed in part through a triangulated skin that is structured with a hierarchy of steel structural elements. Inclined tubular steel columns are facetted at nodes within the steel floor beams to create horizontal loads. Intermediate horizontal reactions are welded to the main beams, and triangulated glass panels produce the skin. The resulting combination of architecture and engineering is an elegant form with a subtle 17 degree tilt. This smooth faĂ§ade merges into the stepping ramps that extend outward. As a result, the City Hall has no front or back on conventional terms but derives its shape from a

The most obvious elements of the Bilbao Guggenheim are the complex curvatures and materiality which consist of a repetitive pattern of both limestone and titanium panels of the same dimensions.

The complexity of the form however, required an extensive building process which in itself is quite interesting. Modern technology made the construction of the Bilbao Guggenheim possible through the use of CADCAM technology. The form and materiality of the building requires hundreds of custom tiles that are one of a kind. Through the use of computers and digital design, the panels were robotically cut and bar-coded so the builders could match each piece with its specific position within the structure. The structure itself however, is really simple, consisting of a series of horizontal steel channel welded to the i-beam structure. The panels are then attached using simple bolts and brackets.

The unique form of Holocaust Museum in Berlin evolved from a series of connecting lines between historic events and locations of Jewish culture in Berlin. Daniel Libeskind generated a concept based on

absence, emptiness, and the invisible to convey the disappearance of Jewish culture in Berlin. The remnants are more or less archival, as the history of the Jewish culture is exhibited within the museum, and in a way, in the walls of the museum itself. The description of Libeskind himself is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the museum is a zigzag with a structural rib (which is the void of the Jewish Museum) running through it. This void is something which every participant in the museum will experience his or her absent presenceâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? The same relation of solid and void is repeated on the surface of the building where concrete forms, slits, and voids are revealed between glass and cut zinc panels. The overall presence is a mixture of the stark and elegant, meant to stir emotion as a sort of exhibit in itself.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe sits on a 4.7 acre site in the very center of Berlin. The memorial designed by Peter Eisenman consists of 2,711 precast concrete blocks arranged in a grid

pattern. The blocks vary in height, as does the ground plane between them. The effect is an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture â&#x20AC;&#x153;aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reasonâ&#x20AC;?. A portion of the site contains a museum below the memorial. It was constructed using poured reinforced concrete formwork. The museum has indentions in the ceiling below, which reflect the positioning of the blocks above. The ceiling forms were lifted into place, and the blocks above were based on preformed foundations.

The elegant elevator towers of Reina Sofia have added new appeal and circulation to the museum. The elevators act as a corridor of light, and create an intermediate space that direct visitors into v

ertical circulation. The true beauty of the towers lies in their simplicity however. A system of repetitive brackets supports the glass from within, suspended away from the interior structure. On the exterior, a tension system again allows the glass to be held away from the structural system, more or less leaving it in suspension between the interior and exterior. The tension structure eliminates the need for mullions, and also reveals the sleek mechanics of the system.

The architecture of the Reichstag Parliament building is rooted in history. The Reichstag was mutilated by World War II and insensitive rebuilding. Original nineteenth-century interiors were concealed and protected beneath plaster linings, and with the rebuilding of the Reichstag, the layers were peeled away to reveal imprints of the past such as paintings and graffiti. These remnants were preserved in the renovation of the Reichstag, allowing it to become a living museum of German history. The addition of the transparent dome on top, transforms the space symbolically from the secrecy and power it once portrayed during Nazi reign, to a democratic forum with commitment to public accessibility, historical sensitivity, and an important environmental agenda. Similar in concept to the City Hall in London, the glazed dome of the Reichstag emphasizes values of clarity and transparency. It contains a spiraling ramp that is open to the public, and creates a direct view of the Parliament, symbolizing the openness and drive of the German democratic progress. The curving steel structure of the dome holds the stepping glass exterior and supports the interior ramps which essentially hang from the steel members. Overall,

Geodimensional: the collection of raw analog data in an attempt to create a stereographic view of place. Begun as a study of comparative scale, countless experiences were translated into various units of quantitative data in order to examine the unique existence of an event within a place. Geodimensioning simplified the mass amount of information to the obvious geographic data of longitude, latitude, elevation, population, area, and density to map out a personal atlas of destinations visited during a study abroad.

Ecoblanket: a new approach towards the urban development of Barcelona, ES. The ecoblanket suggests draping a new fabric into the existing post-industrial conditions of the city. Based on fractal mathematics, triangulated plate steel acts as a self supporting system in which the folds of the “fabric” create structural support and produce a “foldable city”. Integrated sustainable technologies develop a cyclical process, making it possible for the blanket to become a generator for the city in terms of energy, economy, and ecology.

_001: existing site GEOGRAPHY reunites the natural with the artificial. The site is situated at Barcelonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern edge of historically eroded Mont Juic, which has long been a source of limestone for building the city. The ecoblanket suggests re-building the mountain with an artificial, foldable landscape.

_004: surface circulation INTERIOR/EXTERIOR and the notions of public/private, object/ecosystem merge through geometrical, geological, and geographical forms uniting the city and parasite for mutual sustainability. Can sustainable tourism exist through the built environment?

_007: solar harvesting PHOTOVOLTAICS cap Barcelonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastline on the North. The Caixa Forum pavilion in the Sant Marti District displays one of the largest solar arrays in the world. Likewise ecoblanket would cap the Southern edge of the city with a sustainable generator at Sants Monjuic.

_002: artificial terrain MAPPING Barcelona distinguishes important socio-economic factors of the city with relation to locals and tourists alike. These elements can then be gathered within a dense foldable environment. Ecoblanket is a center of sustainable tourism, re-thinking how the tourist city operates.

_005: folded structure PLATE STEEL utilizes the same simple structural principles as paper folding, to create a thin self-supporting shell that creates an external landscape and internal spaces that can be occupied in various ways. (through additional building, modular inserts, etc.)

_008: planted filter VEGETATION joins the water flow process using a variety of harvestable saltwater, brackish, and freshwater plants to naturally cleanse and purify the water through a series of stages. The water re-enters the cycle along with desalinated sea water to be purified and reused again.

_003: water flow FRESHWATER is a growing concern in Barcelona. Ecoblanket is the proposal of a cyclical micro-city that reuses on-site industrial silos where water drawn from the sea is desalinated and treated, the water then sustains the site, while greywater is used to grow harvestable crops used within the site.

_006: wind harvesting TURBINES harness constant coastal winds that will provide a dependable green powersource for the city. The turbines also create a visual guide/map of circulation throughout the cyclical site.

ECOBLANKET unites the built environment with the natural geography. Barcelona has slowly extended the coastline while reducing the size of Mt. Juic through mining. This new urban development looks to rebuild the mountain using structural folded plate steel to create an artificial landscape. The folded structure is draped over the existing geography to extend Mont Juic to the artificial coastline.

SOLAR HARVESTING

SUSTAINABILITY

ENTRANCE/ EXIT

PROGRAMATIC DIRECTION is created throughout the site plan by using sustainable elements to reflect program. A.) Photovoltaics collect solar energy while denoting Wi-Fi access; B.) Tourists enjoy the trivial environment while making productive contributions to the city; C.) Agriculture acts as a natural filter for air and water through bioremediation while also sustaining the integrated markets and restaurants. and D.) Wind Turbines harness the costal winds, while providing pinpoints in an otherwise scattered eco-scape.

D. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM, although seemingly contradictory, suggests that tourism can contribute more than just money to an economic system. Through the ecoblanket, tourism creates a generating cycle where visitors contribute to the social, physical, and economic energy of the city.

NoMAd: an adatable healthcare proposal for various countries, EA. Nomad was a competition entry for Design For The Children 2009, studying the concept of nomadic architecture. Nomad developed into a product design approach to provide healthcare for women and children in eastern africa. By supplying a small list of components and simple instructions, Nomad aims to establish a simple but revolutionary approach to adaptability and mobility in contemporary structures.

nomad -ic healthcare clinic 2008 (E. Africa, KE) Adam Kerechanin professor Annemarie Jacques

102

MOBILITY: NoMAd proposes a fully integrated system of mobility and adaptability to best serve the community. NoMAd is a space of the people and it goes where their need is greatest.

ADAPTABILITY: NoMAd intends to create an adaptable oasis of health, safety, and welfare for African communities. The NoMAd solution is systematic organization and integration.

PRODUCT INFORMATION: NoMAd is a systematic design solution that aims to address first and foremost, the issues of mobility and adaptability in a healthcare clinic. Because of the widespread need for readily available healthcare throughout an expansive region of Africa, the most obvious approach to this problem is a relatively mobile and extensively adaptable design.

Using low-tech materials and alternative methods as the pieces, the solution to the puzzle is quite simply NoMAd, a system that has extensive user adaptability within the designed constraints. NoMAd can be expanded, contracted, or even moved as dictated by regional social and physical needs.

=10 ft^2

SCALE: 1/16â&#x20AC;?=1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The layout of the building can be customized based on site restrictions, seasonal conditions, or changing needs. Simply determine space requirements and shade in corresponding footprint for desired arrangement. The panels are designed to pivot 180 degrees about their adjoining posts to allow the building to morph indefinitely, adapting perfectly to varying site conditions or programmatic requirements

103

The presented solution then, is only one particular scenario of the designed system. In this organization, the clinic negotiates security by adopting a linear progression to maximize security efficiency while minimizing social separation.

In addition to pivoting, panels can also be added or subtracted to adjust square footage.

MOBILITY: NoMAd proposes a fully integrated system of mobility and adaptability to best serve the community.

Additionally, the programmatic adjacencies create both a sterile setting and social gathering within close proximity of one another. By creating endless adaptability to the size and position of the program, NoMAd can grow, shrink, or even move as necessary.

Module: hexagonal repitition in the design of a Homeless Shelter proposal for Greenville, SC. Module creates the “shell” for basic “shelter”. Modularity allows the project to be adaptable to multiple scales on various sites. By creating a universal building shell, interior programs can be widely varied and easily scaled depending on specific needs. Just as the shelter seeks to help the homeless living in a temporal condition, the building itself seeks to remain temporary with minimum site impact and maximum adaptability.

Cubik: extruded cover for mass public transport in Anderson, SC. Cubik is a contemporary exploration of the ambiguity of space in a historic urban context. Through the 3 dimensional extrusion of the historic facade, Cubik challenges the notions of interior/exterior and public/ private spaces. Through the extrusion of the cubist structure, repetition, layering, and weaving create a unique revitilization of public transportation for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the electric cityâ&#x20AC;? in the 21st century.

Light and Sound: an interpretation of abstract dimensions in the built environment (light and sound) as structure objects. These models are preliminary studies of varying art forms. The first is a reproduction of a piece of Josef Albersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work in the form of structured light/shadow using paper. The other is a site generated from the undulating waves of a classical music composition with the crescendos, measures, beats, rhythm, etc., mapped onto the three dimensional form in plaster and wood.

Printmaking: the process of creating art through the use of a printing press and various learned printing techniques including stone lithography, offset lithography, screenprinting, flexography, and stenciling. Begun as a hobby I was able to expand my knowledge and practice of printmaking under the direction of master printer, Sydney Cross. At a time when reproduction is made simple by laser and inkjet printers I became especially fascinated with one of the oldest and most involved printing processes; stone lithography.
