PUBLIC CARVING

creating public spaces TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR AREA

Art Centre Auburn University, Final Year Margaret Fletcher 65000 ft2

This project is an expansion to the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in Midtown Atlanta. It is proposed to house a substantially expanded exhibition, event venue, studio artist program, and educational facilities. The proposal considers how it amplifies, attenuates, or negotiates the conditions of the site while taking into account the mission of the Contemporary Art Center to engage the public. Hence, operational carving on the building form creates three types of public space within the proposal. The green space on the ground plane accommodates an amphitheater for exterior performances. A monumental staircase located in between the masses directs visitors up into the final elevated public space. This space is made up of a series of paths that allow visitors to experience the artworks from different angles and locations. The interior follows a similar sectional language in that the floor plates have been pulled back to provide layered views between gallery spaces as visitors ascend through the art center.

The site of the new Contemporary is on the site of the North Avenue Marta Station. The proposal for the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center will occupy a portion of the entire site and will replace the relocated Bus hub. The site has a moderate slope negotiated by a retaining wall and plinth, upon which the current MARTA station is sited. The site serves as one of three principal transit access points for Midtown and GA Tech.

STRUCTURAL INFILL

vernacular exploration TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR AREA

Market hall + Exterior public space Arkitektskolen Aarhus, Fourth Year Matt Hall 10000 ft2

Following two weeks of traveling Scandinavia, the studio settled in Aarhus, Denmark for an intensive three weeks of design. The proposal for the market hall is situated in the Midtbyen neighborhood at the city square of Margethepladsen. The site is located on a strip of land between Godsbanen, a redeveloped culture center, and the upper-class Scandinavian Center. Hence, the proposal for the site had to bridge the two while also serving as a vessel to house the public. A market is historically a place of trade. Our notion of this word is primarily based on the purchase of food, but trade can occur in many forms. In this instance, trade is not just of food, but also experiences and culture. This design proposal lies within the middle ground of Scandinavian half-timber construction (waddle and daub) and American steel prefabricated housing (Eames house). The market hall has a Corten steel structure infilled with brick. There are three configurations of the brick infill depending on the amount of light needed in that space. When the space needs maximum amount of sunlight, every brick is turned at a 90° angle. Every other brick is turned at a 90° angle for less light. For the least amount of light needed in the space, every other brick is turned at a 45° angle. This variety provides a variety of light qualities to the interior while also adding depth to the facade.

STRUCTURAL INFILL ° 2019

The interior of the market hall is chaotic and shows the emphasizes of structure, the roof serves as the anchor for the project taking inspiration from Arne Jacobson town hall. The market stall ceilings and mezzanine are held up by cables connected to beams that run along the roof. The mezzanine that runs along the southern facade serves as an area of refuge and also viewing platform to the public space. The public space was designed as a gathering area. It is further broken down into different parts by the changes in material, creating distinct areas of rest and circulation.

SHIFTING PLANES

extending views TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR AREA

New York Public Library Auburn University, Fourth Year Zhan Chen 58000 ft2

This project located in Brooklyn, New York experiments with the sequence of designing a building. Rather than beginning with the floor plates and adding walls, this project began with the walls and then infilled the floor plates. This technique allows for flexibility and complexity throughout the section of the building. The users are provided with views between floors and sectional variety that responds to the programmatic needs of each space. Because the project is a public library, the walls are a sandwich system with bookshelves on the outer perimeter. They have been programmed with different conditions—door, window, table, nook and displace—which allows for further flexibility while remaining conceptually sound.

HORSEPLAY urban playgrounds TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR AREA

Chattanooga K–5 school Auburn University, Fourth Year Mark Blumberg 65000 ft2

The concept of this project is based on five horseshoe-shaped floor plates that rotate around a central light-well to create voids. These voids are occupied by the entrance along with three playgrounds and form the frame of the building. The playground is positioned at different orientations on the site, allowing for a variety of scheduled playtimes. The central lightwell serves as the anchor for the layout with staircases pivoting along the perimeter to provide the primary circulation and interaction zones throughout the building. The facade consists of voids of varying sizes. The larger voids represent the playgrounds. The playgrounds are glazed with colored glass which creates unique light qualities for the interior and organizes each space into a separate zone. The voids are angled to give depth and emphasize views. Each color represents a different zone. The programmed voids integrate play, exploration, and collaboration into the school pedagogy.

MRS PATRICK'S HOME design + construction TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR AREA

Single family house Rural Studio, Third Year Emily McGlohn 740 ft2

This project stems from rural studio’s 20k initiative, which is designing a home that could be built for $20,000. However, this goal does not account for the cost of materials or other factors such as labor, utility installation, and application for building permission. Regardless, the project aims to keep the construction costs as low as possible. This year, our studio worked to redesign and construct the design used in Mac’s home, an earlier 20k project. We aimed to adapt the prototype to meet the Fair Housing Act (FHA) size requirements, which is focused on making rooms navigable to people who use wheelchairs or walkers. This project also looked at how the house could be designed to share exterior space with an existing house on the property which was the client’s former home. The design also integrates a screened-in porch to minimize mosquitoes and encourage passive ventilation.

MODULAR STUDY symbiosis of thick and thin TYPE INSTITUTION PROFESSOR COLLABORATOR AREA

Research Pavilion Auburn University, Second Year Danielle Willkens Rebecca Wiggs 2120 ft2

This project experiments with contrasting thick structure with thin screening which is reminiscent of traditional Japanese architecture. Each element in the project is singular in nature, aggregating to create repeating modules. Vertical and horizontal elements divide private/public, exterior/interior without separating enclosure from light, air, or water. The pavilion rests lightly on the ground plane, sloping and stepping with the site below, creating defined directionality and clear circulation through the site. Modest materiality explores refined connections and responsible building techniques. A new environment is created to amplify the educational ability of the existing conditions, without negating the functionality of forestry’s experiment.

the aerial view shows the relationship between the lookout tower and the trees, a variety of experiences have been created for the user as they are within the trees and untop of the trees.

There is a symbiosis of thick and thin, with relation to heavy timber structure and the delicate screen system. The screens on the facade and roof work with the structure to bring nature in the form of air, water and light. The form signifies the use of modulation to create a hierarchy between interior and exterior, private and public. The structure mimics the vertical spatial experience of a Japanese larch forest as a community space for meeting. The modest materials show an exploration of renewable building techniques and a need to apply translational technology in a new environment.

Zig-zag chair reproduction Rural Studio, Third Year Stephen Long Lorenzo Lopez & Xiao Boyu

A reproduction of the Zig-zag chair by Gerrit Reitveld was fabricated in the Rural Studio woodshop. The process went through iterations of mock-ups as an opportunity to test different connections of the chair and methods for finishing the wood. Jigs had to be made in order to facilitate efficiency before the final project was made. The final product was made out of walnut wood, contrary to the oak original. The choice was made in order to experiment with the wood’s capability in its finish and structural capacity.

A radical formulation, Gerrit Thomas Rietveld’s Zig Zag chair pushed the boundaries of furniture design when it debuted in 1934. Rietveld spent years working to create a chair that mimicked the way humans sit, and the Zig Zag isn’t just comfortable and stable, it’s also stackable. In the aim for simplicity of construction that’s how the chair lost its legs and ended up in a Z formation. Originally, Rietveld hoped to make a chair that could be cut from a singular piece of material or “pop out of a machine, just like that.” He envisioned a bent steel plate, but joining together four pieces of plywood proved most effective and still amounted in the striking diagonal design.

This course showcased the experiences, concepts, and processes that constitute the language of drawing. Through various mediums, the class developed many skills such as broadening perceptual awareness through close observation and depiction of subject matter. Eye-hand coordination through drawing practice, visual organizational skills, and gaining independence in the cognitive skills of observation, assessment, and interpretation of visual art were also developed.

This project is the culmination of a semester of studying southern vernacular architecture. The building burned down many years ago, so black and white photos were used to recreate the building. The paper was soaked, stapled, and stretched on a plywood board. The composition was then drafted with graphite and painted with watercolor.

This project is a continuation of the summer-op wall project. It comprised of a study of the origami wall in order to reveal the embedded patterns of its construction. It started with a hand drafted elevation of the wall illustrating the geometric underpinnings. Subsequently, with the use of ink layering, depth and patterns of light were rendered on the drawing.
