Architecture theory has Thesis project to complete Master of Architecture forgotten the occupant in favor of a sculptural practice. With Fractured Narrative, I am searching for a hybrid which employs ideas of spatial and aesthetic innovation in a way which primarily takes the occupant’s use of the space into account. A habitationbased design praxis. This process uses methods of storytelling and visual psychology in architectural arrangements. Fractured Narrative deconstructs the typology of a story to explore the possibilities of narration and plot with regards to architectural programming based on the needs and sequencing of the public user group. After examining multiple narrative possibilities, I chose to use the South American Robleto story arc.
Daniel Alderman
I explored these strategies in the Conjectural Atheneum, an archive of unpublished manuscripts. The program centralizes around the reading room, a double height space adjacent to the archive, which is built into an abandoned skeleton of an infill project in an urban setting.

This experiment not only allows a discussion about adaptive reuse, but the project also presents a motif of discovery, both throughout the promenade and within the site of the project itself. The discovery of the unfinished, whether it be in architecture or literature, leaves experience in a state of flux, with a nearly limitless number of outcomes while the functional use of the space remains distinctly concrete with respect to the user.

FLEXhouse is a net zero energy prototype entry into the 2011 Solar Decathlon. I was a team member from beginning to end of project involved primarily in interior design and design development. The FLEXhouse makes a strong use of both solar energy and passive cooling strategies suited for the Florida environment. The innovative packaging strategies allowed the 1000 sf house deployable on a single truck, minimizing shipping costs. Right: Plan of modular expansion proposal for expanded single-family living
Daniel Alderman
Passive cooling and net zero energy are important goals for the future of design, not only for the sake of sustainability, but because the act of living is to experience a climate, not to viciously attempt to control it. My involvement in the design development of the FLEXhouse dealt largely with a refinement of these passive cooling strategies with intense solar studies, and solutions which maximize an envelope which complements the climate in which the house is sited.

Vertical Tectonics
In an exercise in Exercises in vertical programming in Chicago and Tampa vertical programming, these tower proposals explore two different urban conditions. The first concept examines the variety of cultures and programs which surrounded the Chicago World’s Fair. The Chicago World Tower uses this diversity to facilitate a public building in the lower half of the building which extends up to a mid-level void. This allows access to open space before the tower splits into two wings; the exposition tower and offices in the taller, more secluded tower.
Daniel Alderman
A second vertical exercise takes place along the riverfront park currently under construction in downtown Tampa along the Hillsborough River. 11 N. Ashley Dr. explores a live-work hybrid tower which allows urban living in Tampa’s core, while touching the ground lightly, extending the riverfront park into public space on the ground level of the tower so the public, street realm is uninterrupted. Just above the park space, public retail space and parking occupies six levels in between the street space and the office and residential towers.

Reconstructed Green
New progress in urban The University into the City design seeks to heal the damage wrought by the suburban boom and the resulting urban sprawl which dominates most post-war cities. The history of the University of South Florida is that of an island university which distinguished itself from its underdeveloped and suburban surroundings. As the university region has grown, key players in the life science, education, and entertainment industries in Tampa, FL are looking for redevelopment strategies which will not only create a more vibrant urban core adjacent to the USF campus, but will also soften the boundary between USF and its surroundings, to lessen the university’s status as an “island university� and to, in effect, bring the University into the City
Daniel Alderman
Reconstructed Green focuses on pockets of urban density strung together with natural and constructed greenways in the north Tampa and Temple Terrace municipalities. The proposal grows off of a central innovation corridor which extends south and west of the university campus, which helps connect the medical, educational, and entertainment hubs of the 22 square mile area of intervention. The new proposal of redevelopment emphasizes mixed zoning and walkable proximities to create a more vibrant, pedestrianfriendly environment in an area once dominated by suburban highways.

Double Bass Atelier
A corner lot on the north Live-work Unit for Double Bass Production end of downtown Tampa 1100 N Franklin st. Tampa, FL houses a workshop for a double bass craftsman and houses five apprentices. The workshop occupies the ground floor with open access to the alley which acts as a sheltered public space and the main entry of the facility. A laminated louver system shades the south side of the workshop from the harsh Florida sun, and partially obstructs the view of the workshop from passing cars, while remaining accessible to pedestrians.
Daniel Alderman
The circulation and plan revolves around a central wood-clad column which carries all central mechanical runs, and anchors the circulation stair while reiterating the carpentry-based use of the building. The main entry is accessed through an alleyway, so the building as a whole is set back from the alley and pushed towards the street, which not only keeps the entry way facing the north, and shaded from the hottest sun, but it also provides a spacious, sheltered open space in front of the entry for outdoor seating and public access. This alley access also allows the workshop to open its revolving wall panels towards the alley to allow plenty of fresh air during times of heavy sawdust production, and creates an engaging facade at the pedestrian scale.

Crescent Arms
Crescent Arms Elevator Installation in Sarasota Condominiums Condominium Association approached JAHarchitects wishing to expand circulation options in the condo rental community on beach-front property in Sarasota, FL. An existing atrium space in the center of two identical buildings was chosen as the best location to tie in a new elevator to an existing fire-rated stair well, the landings of which would span inbetween existing open air corridors. Storefront glass was chosen to shelter the landings from salt and rain in lieu of building an overhand which would cover the atrium.

JAH Marketing
While working at Project Category Marketing Campaign JAHarchitects, I launched a marketing campaign primarily employing project-type oriented web brochures. The pamphlets focus on the JAH design process, and move the office towards a modern, icon-based branding
Daniel Alderman
The brochures are interactive, using the minimal icons as hyperlinks and web buttons for future use. The brochure campaign is still under way, with only two completed, but the brochures, in conjunction with a renovated website, have contributed to four master plans and five new construction projects from the end of 2012 and through the beginning of 2013.

Biography I grew up as a student of music and art on the gulf coast of FL. In my childhood, the two things I loved the most were Legos, and science fiction. I spent my time making environments and scenarios, or inventing the characters which filled them; in each case, I was fascinated with the stories both of these mediums told. In my formative years, I leaned toward the depth and holisticity of making a place versus making a person or persons. My early interest in art, images and design led me to graduate with a Master of Architecture from the School of Architecture and Community Design at the University of South Florida. During the course of my graduate education, my design philosophy developed around a user-based aesthetic, in which design decisions are emergent, and exist to enhance, ameliorate, and influence a user’s interaction with images, products, and space. Major influences include architects Tadao Ando and Lebbeus Woods, and industrial designer Donald Norman, for his work on the psychology of design. While I have grown immensely throughout my life and education, I feel like I haven’t changed; I still love to watch sci-fi shows like Fringe and Doctor Who in my free time, and I play with Legos whenever they’re in front of me.
