3 PAVILION FOUNDATION STUDIO / 2020 / YOUSEF BUSHEHRI
Photo collage of the pavilion on site.
4 The pavilion was tasked with creating a space on the site of Himnan Reasearch Building. It was placed on the courtyard as an extention of the collaboration that happens in the architecture studio space on the inside. The space created inside the pavilion has areas where Hinman can not be seen, if someone wants to get away from their work, but is also set up as another space for productivity. The roof created allows for protection from rain and shade from the noon sunlight.
View of the surrounding area from the pavilion. Because the elevation around the site would not restrict any view, the limiting factor if the sight lines are the large buildings that surround it.

The assembly of the pavilion uses the same folding technique on each panel, but the use of both a 5’x5’ panel and cutting a smaller 3’x3’ panel allows the structure is able to bend and twist slightly.

The floor plan view of the pavillion shows the actions humans can take inside. The space allows for collaboration and socialization, but also indididual work.
9 CUBES FOUNDATION STUDIO / 2020 / YOUSEF BUSHEHRI
Axons that correspond to scheme 1.
10 Two cubes schemes using an defining organizational structure were created from this project. The first cube (shown below) focused on clusteing the addative and subtractive cubes to create the final model. The defining feature of this scheme is the cut out (shown in image 2 below), that allows for the void inside to be visible. In addition to the cube, axons were created as a step by step way to show how each cube was added, or subtracted, from the initial 8x8 cube to create the final model.

The axons that correspond to scheme 2.
12 In scheme 2, two organizational systems had to be used to create the final model. To distinguish the two, I chose to make the clustered system all addative cubes, and the linear system all subtractive. All of the clustered cubes were added first, and the the linear cubes were the last step so that they would make a void run through the center of the whole cube. The void disrupts the clustered cubes, but brings organization and a symmetric aspect to the rest of the disorganized forms that are jutting off of the original 8x8 cube.
13 ANALYSIS FOUNDATION STUDIO / 2020 / YOUSEF BUSHEHRI
Site: Hinman Research Building
14 This project studies Hinman Reseach Building and its key features. Unlike the diagrams from the pavilion project that study the structure, these drawings and diagrams are all hand drawn. The diagrams are an alaysis of how the stucture is laid out, how people move throughout the space, how the rooms in the building correspond to one another, and also what the structure is actually composed of.

15 These six diagrams all analyze the key componets of the buildings make-up, and highlight different features that may not be seen from a first galnce of the space. One of the main elements I was interested in from studying this building was symmetry formed in the main studio space. The exterior windows that flank the studio space create symetry as well as a large window that looks out on the courtyard (which was where the pavilion project was placed).
This diagram highlights the symetry formed by the 14 windows on either side of the main studio space. The hammock that sits in the studio (the dark grey shaded area) is also symmetric down the middle, building onto the symmetry.
The main studio space in the middle is where the majority of collaboration happens and flows from. The rest of the circulation stems from this area and leads into more individual work as people travel away from the main area.
16 Simple geometries create the elevation of the building from the courtayrd view. This sets the tone for the other rectalinear shapes that make up the interior of the structure.
The large windows light the main studio space, but the other rooms have little to no natural light.
The ceiling hight creates hierarchy throughout the building, clearly defining the studio as the main space.
Each individual room composes the larger structure, and has a relation to other spaces inside.

This view shows the dark grey as special features (the bottom is the Missouri River and the top is the golf course). The black is the dense area where people gather in the clubhouse spaces. The rest of the people settled where they could around these features.

18 Using Adobe Illustrator, colors denote important features in the area around my hometown, St. Charles, MO. The greyscale colors tell a story of the city I lived in, and the unique features that define it. There is no clear grid organization like older cities when they were thoughtfully planned out. Because of urban sprawl, people moved out ot of St. Louis, MO and settled in St. Charles for more land and farming area. This was all done haphazardly, creating this unorganized city.

This scheme shows a close view of my house and where it sits in relation to the golf course (the black). Because of the location there is no privacy in the outdoor spaces. In addition, the few amount of trees create a very open community.

19 ARCH 1060 ARCH 1060 / 2020 / RYAN ROARK
The work from this project took inspiration from the Lovell Beach House in Newport Beach, CA, and created a grid from it. This grid focused on the “L” shape that stood out from the rest of the elevation. The rest of the geometries were all rectalinear shapes that allowed the “L” to be the defining feature.
The order and type of a transformation can completely change and define a structure. These two schemes below started with the same size clay cube and applied different transformations. Both the order and type of transformation had an impact on the final result. I applied the same transformations in a different order and it completely changed the composition, reinforcing the fact that order is a key factor is how a strucutre is produced. SPLIT & PINCH

21 These two compositions focused on the additon of color. The color blocks highlight different groups of features in each composition. Composition 1 uses analogous colors to define the three sections of the composition and then uses lighter tints to show where the light is directly hitting the model. In composition 2, a split complementary color palette was used to highlight the different components of the composition: the mountains ( red orange), the valleys (violet red), and the small carves (green). As with composition 1, lighter tints show where the direct light is hitting the model.

This continuous plane model highlights hierarcy. The components of the structure not only increase in height, but also size, creating a clear distinction between the components. By using simple cuts, and a space was created that is dynamic and has different, massive components.

24 My internship work for Brad Heppner focuses mainly on residential renovation projects. The projects are seen from start to finish and the work is done directly for the clients. There is a strong importance and focus on keeping the original details of the home, and making the renovations look like an original element of the home.
The project on the left was a renovation for a condo in Atlanta, GA. We took the existing main floor and created an additional bedroom and bathroom for the clients needs.
