META-MATIC. An autocreative art machine raises the question of performance in design. Rather than focus on the artistic qualities of the final piece of art, the process and of how it is created is intensified. This machine becomes an abstracted version of a traditional CMYK printer. The user loads a business card as the art medium and once the machine is turned on, all that is left to do is squeeze the different paints onto the canvas. The result is apeice of work that highlites the process of creation and provides the user with a personal connection to each creation.

CONTAINER LIVING. This project rethought the notion of compact housing through the utilization of a shipping container. All the occupants’ possessions could be stored within the 20’ container during shipping, including an automobile. The driving force behind this project was the idea of separating public spaces from private spaces. The transformed container could be deployed anywhere, with varying degrees of privacy and enclosure based on the both the site and the occupant.

WINERY. Acting as both a functioning winery and a small gathering center, this projects main focus was on how to connect these two separate programs. The use of two different enclosure materials helped to differentiate each program while a glass entry acted as a transparent bond between them. A strong connection to the outdoors and relationship with the nearby vineyard was crucial in the design process.

WICHITA ART MUSEUM Art is a social experience. As the Wichita Art Museum looks to the future, the museum will become a more prominent experience in the daily lives of the citizens of Wichita. Appreciation for the museum will be fueled by the prized selection of artwork as well as the social experience one has while visiting the museum. The viewing of art becomes secondary to the interaction of people within the museum and on the surrounding grounds. Driven by this notion of human interaction, this project looks to expand the role of the museum within its local surroundings. By incorporating mixed use development, street faced housing, and a public green space, the museum draws both visitors from afar and close to home. It functions adequately for those who work/live there on a daily basis, as well as those who visit it on the rare occasion.

UNIVERSITY HOTEL. The engagement of the guest in a dynamic building was the main driving force in this University Hotel. Each individual room could directly respond to the user through an operable wall system. This created an ever changing facade that breaks from the shear condition of the tower.

SCHONEBERG LINSE The Schoneberger Linse sits as a forgotten island in the dense urban fabric of Berlin. Having been in the former Tempelhof Airport flight path, this neglected sight saw very little development over the past 100 years. By recognizing already strong influences on the site, a proposal can be seen that creates a destination and place of departure for many. This proposal takes advantage of the existing proximity of several big box stores but recognizes that these stores currently isolate them selves from the rest of the site. By integrating several different scales of retail, mixed use, and residential development, these big box stores become an integrated piece of the urban fabric.

H.U.I (Hybridized Urban Infrastructure) The intent of the project was to look at how multiple infrastructure types could be integrated into a single project potentially increasing efficiencies in doing so. This project looked at how a system might be implemented that would help clean the Tennessee River, while also providing recreational space and other urban amenities. *AECOM Urban SOS Water Competition Top 10 Finalist 2011*
H.U.I (Hybridized Urban Infrastructure) Retrofitting of existing rail and traffic bridges provides for a pedestrian connection across the river that is currently lacking in Knoxville. These bridges also serve as crucial access points to the Rock river park. Over time these connections help fuel a redevelopment along the riverfront and in turn strengthen the importance of the Rock river park.

HNTB Summer Internship During my summer internship with HNTB I was able to really work on a wide range of projects. The first that I worked on was a convention center proposal. In collaboration with about a dozen people, we developed a scheme that tried to integrate an (already proposed) stadium addition into the existing convention center facilities. I was primarily in charge of the 3-D modeling of this project while others worked on developing the larger scheme and fine tuning details. Credits. Jason Essel, Chris Busch, Todd Achepohl, Nick Curtis, Scott Capstack
HNTB Summer Internship During my internship I was also able to work on several more in depth projects. HNTB was helping develop the DIA expansion project and I spent a large amount of time helping recreate the existing terminal in BIM software which was then compared to 3D scans of the existing building for accuracy. Credits. Katie Gallagher, Anthony DiMartino, Chris Busch, Chris Beshears
I was also part of a team that completed an entire set of pricing documents for a military hangar proposal. This project was again done in BIM software and then sent to our contractor for pricing. I helped with some of the BIM modeling and post production work on the drawings. Credits. Jason Essel, Chris Busch, Katie Gallagher, Chris Ross, Brian Riddle, Erica Young, Trevor Bechtold

TO BE CONTINUED... As is the case with my passion for design, this design portfolio is never complete. I constantly look to expand my knowledge and skill set. Seeking new ways to positively affect each and every design, I strive for constant improvement as both a designer and as a person. Any suggestion upon how I can improve myself as a person or my design work is always welcome. Adam Post
