Kent, Ohio Second Year Design Studio I Professor Beth Bilek-Golias Fall 2011
Phase One
Phase Two
The purpose for the design of the Food Bank, located in Downtown Kent, Ohio, was for the building form to complement and respond to the adjacent buildings around the site. To achieve this idea, the design of the new structure derived from t he simple geometric shapes of the surrounding buildings in plan and then merging the shapes together and manipulated them through multiple phases.
Phase Three
Phase Four
The heights of the buildings were retained when the massing was formed. The third massing manipulation was extruding the united shapes on the North-South axis to t in the site. The North-South axis of the design is the main horizontal circulation with the vertical circulation connected at each end.

The “internal spine� of the building is the central horizontal circulation, which can access all the programs of the Food Bank. The rooong system slopes down to the back of the site, mimicking the downward sloping topography. The envelope of the building is developed by providing horizontal shading devices for the private programs and a simple curtain wall system for the public sectors of the Food Bank.

MEDIA HOUSE
Akron, Ohio Second Year Design Studio II Professor David Craun Spring 2012 For my design intent, I was interested in the rapid growth of technology on society and people’s lives. The rst mobile cell phones were large and bulky and couldn’t t in a person’s pocket, but modern day cell phones can t in the palm of your hand and have unlimited possibilities. The growth and spread of technology has changed society and everyday life for people. The Media House program is an educational institution, public gathering space, and professional center of art and technology research all networking together in a single design to promote the development and growth of media on modern culture.The design for the Media House is going to give a perception to outside pedestrians that it’s expanding or growing physically by its form, symbolizing the spread of technology on today’s society.

Elevated Porjection Lines
The site of the Media House is located in an urban environment, along a canal, and connected to the Akron Civic Theator. The form of the building intitially began with projecting ground level and elevated site lines from the near by site conditions. Taking the projection lines shapes and morphing the forms through various steps, the nal design of the building will portray the illusion of the building growing horizontally and vertically.
Ground Level Porjection Lines
The exterior curved walls will meet at a point and will show a horizontal growing affect to the viewers. The street front exterior wall will gradually increase in height connecting the stacked oors which will give a vertical rising reading. It will be a thin and light building design like todays hand held devices. The facades will link families and groups of the programs like a computer chip or mother board.

SCULPTURE GARDEN
Akron, Ohio Third Year Design Studio I Professor Michael Horton Fall 2012 The design for the Akron Art Museum Sculpture Garden consists of four main gallery zones that are separated by two main crossing circulation paths. The circulation paths of the main entry from S. High St. and secondary exit to S. Broadway St. extend across the site creating an “X” shape in plan. These paths create four gallery spaces at the perimeter and one focal gathering space at the center of the site. Each gallery zone is broken up into multiple terraces ranging in heights and functions. The adjacent zones are connected to each other by the main circulations paths and a network of ramps branching off into the different terraces.

Transverse Section
The main vertical circulation ramp begins at the main entry and continues to the back of the site while allowing a pedestrian to experience each gallery zone. The Sculpture Garden is articulated mostly through natural curves to create an organic experience, leading visitors into each gallery space. The shape and forms created allows for simple circulation and provides maximum exibility for gallery exhibits.
Longitudinal Section
Walking through the main entry, a visitor immediately has an opportunity to walk forward and experience the gallery from the main footpath or walk up a “green” ramp to a series of individual vegetated terraces. This allows for multiple choices and routes a visitor can take to experience the art and the lavndscape. Each zone is designed differently to create unique gallery spaces while maximizing exibility and freedom.
The bottom level stone terraces function as seating and have light xtures imbedded in the stone to provide light at night. The higher elevated vegetated terraces offer multiple functions, exhibit and event space, viewing areas for visitors, and have trees to accommodate shading for leisure activities shaded areas. The overall form and function of the gallery and circulation spaces provide a pleasing experience for visitors and allows for new exhibits and instillation.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Oberlin, Ohio Third Year Design Studio I Professor Michael Horton Fall 2012 Boutique hotels perform as an escape from the everyday life and intensiies the occupant’s experience. Also, provides public and private functions such as public lobbies, lounges, and event spaces and private guest rooms, hotel facilities, and conference rooms. This hotel typology creates a progression of program thresholds and acknowledges a relationship of public and private spaces. The Oberlin Hotel design concept provokes a sense of community for the city while encouraging interaction within the cities landscape. To successfully fullll the local site conditions while allowing the hotel to function properly, the design intent is to create public spaces and zones that will encourage and promote social interaction. The site for the hotel is on the corner of North Main St. and East College St. The city of Oberlin is small and rural with a population of 8,300 residence and 3,000 students compared to larger college towns like Ohio State University and Kent State University. The layout of the Oberlin Hotel must perform within the urban, residential, and institutional context of the city by satisfying the local necessity of tourism, encourage leisure activities and promote social interaction. This will be achieved by embracing the surrounding site and inviting the local residence of Oberlin, incoming travelers, and visitors of Oberlin College. The design of the Oberlin Hotel oers an extended trip or experience for a visitor traveling from the main lobby to their room or other private spaces while the function and program of the hotel balances the surrounding site context.
The concept of social interaction focuses on organizing each space and program to effectively network and perform with the site and surrounding conditions. The South side zone of the hotel is positioned across the street from the Oberlin downtown. The downtown region allows for the opportunity of retail space and hotel restaurant to effectively respond to the commercial nature of the site. The lobby and public spaces are positioned across the street from Tappen Square creating an inviting feeling for pedestrians. These programs have a direct experience with the surrounding natural site conditions because of the views that are created with the hotel and landscape. Tucked backed into the site on the North side, the hotel offices, amenities, and service facilities are located for more of a private use. The strategic organization of the hotel should allow a smooth transition and progression from and to each space and program.
Looking deep into the history, relationships, and interactions of the site, an understanding of the design of a building is revealed. The site context of the hotel is adjacent to Oberlin College, the residential community, and across the street from Tappan Square and the downtown. The layout of the hotel is broken down into three interior zones and a large open courtyard and green space. The concept for this design focuses on organizing each space and program to effectively interact and perform with the site and surrounding conditions. Connecting the South, West, and North zones together are organic and sweeping curves creating a memorable experience.

Phase One
The three curvilinear zones link together to create a large courtyard and an outdoor green space in the middle of the site. This space can be accessed by guests, college students, and pedestrians. The outdoor space is broken up into four green spaces varying in size and in the middle of them is the large hardscape area. The courtyard can function for large events for guests, weddings, and art exhibits, but can also be enjoyed for leisure activities. The outdoor space can be viewed from almost the programs of the hotel. The public lounges, cafes, and lobby have direct views into the space. The curved form of the hotel takes full advantage of the views of the surrounding site, but also within the building. To allow light into the corridors, double and triple height light wells are punched into the roof producing dramatic and theatrical spaces. These multi height light wells provide remarkable and powerful scenes on each oor for each type of visitor and guest. A guest on the third oor can experience seeing all the way down to second oor lounges and even down to the lobby and cafĂŠ.

The faรงade of the hotel is developed by extending the oor plates of the building and the hotel room walls. By extending the walls and oor plates it allows the guest rooms to be recessed into building providing more privacy for these programs. The extended oor plates also function as shading devices for the interior spaces. Because the South facades will experience more direct sunlight, the oor plates are extruded out father than the ones on the North faรงade. The extended stay suites oor plates are expanded out even farther to provide private balcony spaces for each suite. The design of the Oberlin Hotel transgresses the boundaries and embraces the relationship of the public, semi-public, and private programs to promote social interaction within the city of Oberlin.

COMMUNITY HARVEST CENTER AND BULLDOG BREWERY Canton, Ohio Fourth Year Design Studio I Professor Jack Hawk Fall 2013
DESIGN OBJECTIVE The design purpose for the rst phase of the project for the Community Harvest Center is to build a stronger sense of unity within the city of Canton and educate its inhabitants on sustainability and urban farming. To achieve this design objective, the new farmer's market and community space will incorporate passive solar, water, and ventilation techniques that are physically transparent to the occupants of the building. After, completely the community design, the next objective is to integrate the new brewery, of the existing Ice House, into the already established social environment created by the Community Harvest Center.
DESIGN INTENT The design intent for the farmer's market and community space is it develop a positive relationship between the program of the building and its occupants. The program of the community education spaces are focused around the vertical gardens, which promote social interaction. The vertical gardens and work stations will be utilized to educate and employ at-risk and low-income youth and teens in the greater Canton area. By harnessing the site's natural resources, the design of the Community Harvest Center will stimulate the occupant's senses and create a sustainable environment in an urban context.

The issue facing the design for the Community Harvest Center is creating a positive atmosphere that is inviting to the residents of Canton and local pedestrains. Being a larger site, another issue is establishing a strong approach, arrival, and entry. By creating an effective approach, arrival, and entry it allows the pedestrians to ow from space to space and begins to encourage and provoke a sense of community among the occupants and visitors of the building.

DAYLIGHTING DIAGRAM To protect against unwanted direct sun rays, a system of shading devices are designed to protect the interior spaces. Horizontal louvers are constructed to block out the direct southern rays and are also located on the west facade for the evening rays. The north facades will be made up of mostly glazed areas to utilize the desired daylight from the sun. By maintaining the amount of sun rays penetrating the building, the design can enhance the thermal comfort level while saving energy.

Utilizing the potential of the wind tunnel created, an opening is designed at the pinch of the two programs to draw wind into the second and third level of the community spaces. When natural ventilation enters the building it will move through the atrium and light well creating a stack eect that will help the circulation air ow through the building.
BULLDOG BREWERY
Canton, Ohio Fourth Year Design Studio I Professor Jack Hawk Fall 2013
The objective for the adaptive reuse project for the existing Ice House is to develop a high performance envelope that will skin the Bulldog Brewery and have an established connection with the Community Harvest Center. The overall design intent is to create a physical relationship and continue to build a social interaction between the new community building, brewery, and site. The goal for new envelope design is to aid in developing a social interaction between the two designs and enhance an occupant’s experience.

The existing pilasters and columns will be maintained but portions of the existing skin is going to be removed for a new facade that will act as double skin for the brewery. Also, by tearing away the north-south axis section of the roof, the two buildings will share similar roof designs for urban agriculture. The brewery’s rooftop green house is intended to grow and harvest on site, the necessary components to brew and supply the brewery’s beer hall. By implementing similar design elements and sustainable strategies, the Bulldog Brewery will achieve an effective relationship with the Community Harvest Center.

INDENT BRICK
Digital Fabrication Flex.Mold Professor Brian Peters Fall 2013
Layout of Laser Cut File for Wood Board
The rst phase of the course was to use laser cutting as a digital fabrication tool to design a exible wood module that can be casted and then stacked to form wall. A bendable wood surface was achieved by designing a pattern of cut lines and punch outs using laser cutting to allow the plywood to turn corners and folds. The cut pattern applied to the wood sheet was a series of osetting and staggered diamonds. After focusing on a laser cut pattern to allow the material to bend the next step was to design a brick that can be casted multiple times too eventually form a wall.
Assembled Modules
Interest for the Indent Brick developed from the relationship of SOLID vs VOID. By cutting away at a standard brick a new pattern or aesthetic application was created. Also, throughout this process, inspiration to see if the wood could bend at an angle and change directions vertically began to establish a deened form. After further exploration of bending methods, the design intent of the Indent Brick is to create movement vertically, horizontally, and in depth. After various trials and errors laser cutting and bending the wood, the Indent Brick nally developed its nal form.

Step 1: Laser Cutting
By stacking the brick in multiple patterns, various forms are created, but all provoke a dynamic owing wall. The aim for the brick and stacked wall is to create an illusion of a hard concrete wall as a soft natural landscape element. The movement, designed with the stacking of the wall, produces an organic form with a potential to be covered in vegetation. Other applications for the Indent Brick are interior partitions, facade skin, and various cladding purposes. The goal of the rst project was to utilize the laser cutter to digitally fabricate a brick through various bending methods and form a module that could be eventually casted. The design concept was derived from the relationships of SOLID vs VOID and to build a wall that incites movement and dynamics.
WIND BRICK
Digital Fabrication Flex.Mold Professor Brian Peters Fall 2013 The second half of the course focus changed from laser cutting to digitally fabricating using 3d printing. The goal was the same as the previous, to design a module that can be casted and stacked to form a wall. Instead of using wood as the medium to for the mold, the 3d printer extrudes a exible plastic material to build the brick forms. This allowed for a wider range of forms and design possibilities for developing the module. Through the design process of the project, limitations were established for the 3d printer, but the result was still a larger dynamic of bricks.
The inspiration for the Wind Brick was to draw in natural ventilation through the casted module as a result of pressure, velocity, and area dierences. Bernoulli’s principle was the focus of developing the form of the design for the Wind Brick. By creating a larger circular area on the exterior side of the brick that is punch through to a smaller circular area on opposite side of the brick, Bernoulli’s principle is accomplished. The design intent for the 3d printed mold is to successfully cast a wall of bricks that could be used as a sustainable passive strategy to promote air ow from one side of the wall to the other.
Prototype One Because the 3d printer is unable to print a hole successfully in the middle of the mold, the voided space had to me moved the exterior sides of the mold. Even though I was restrained by the printer to do this, it allowed for a better connection among a wall of bricks to allow natural ventilation into the interior.

By creating a system of voided cut outs, the 3d printed module could potentially allow natural ventilation for a building. The Wind Brick would be applied to facades that face prevailing winds for eective air ow through the Wind Brick wall. The next step would be to design a duct system that would be able to capture the incoming ventilation and move the air throughout the building. The design concept that drove the form of the Wind Brick was developing a passive sustainable system that promoted natural ventilation thought the casted wall.
