On site Design Consulting

Sept. 2010 - April 2012 / Adventist Health International / Brian Harmon

Brief: Recently, I returned from a twenty month stay in Carrefour, Haiti, where I volunteered my time and labor as a design consultant at the local Adventist Hospital. My volunteer work included Master Planning, Site Planning, Interior Remodels, and Utilities Work.

Scope of Work I volunteered through a group called Adventist Health International (AHI) which aimed to restore the hospital, built in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original condition. In addition to the redesign and remodel of the physical building, AHI offered training for the nurses, conducted hospital and personnel evaluations, and reorganization of the hospital interior spaces and site operations. My initial work assignments were comprised of various maintenance tasks, but my responsibilities grew with the project needs. Soon, I was using my architectural design skills in master planning, documenting, and site planning. I took the initiative to prioritize and plan projects including: a new gate and landscaping for the hospital, remodeling volunteer housing, remodeling a new patient wing in the hospital, and repurposing the administrative wing into a much needed pediatric and maternity ward. The existing hospital is an older building, built of concrete columns and slabs with CMU infill for lateral stability. The building survived the earthquake in January 2010 and had minimal damage, but was nonetheless, in poor condition. The hospital also lacked organization, qualified personnel, and overall resources.

Patient Wing Remodel

Haiti Adventist Hospital

Brief: Located on the second floor of the hospital the patient wing contains 12 rooms: 4 double occupancy and 8 single occupancy. The wing had been used as living quarters for volunteer workers and required remodeling to be suitable for patient care. The patient wing remodel included fresh paint, toilets, shower tile, sinks, new furniture and a local nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station.

Concept & Intent

+90"

The peeling doors were replaced with metal doors. New windows were placed in the double occupancy rooms for better ventilation and views to the exterior. Bathrooms were retiled and designed with handicap accessibility. The hallways were repainted with new lighting added. The nursing station was relocated to allow for immedate response to patient care Air conditioning was added to each room as well as a shared solar heated water supply for showers and sinks. This wing was designed to serve a higher income demographic that could bring financial security to the hospital, which primarily offered free medical care.

The interior and exterior of the hospital is painted bright white, with minimal color, vegetation or wall art. The existing patient rooms had poor detail and lighting; the exterior doors were notched where they interfered with soffits and were peeling apart where exposed to water. The hallways needed new lighting and paint. The wing presented an opportunity for change by brightening the interior through color, which added cheerful ambiance to the rooms. A main goal with this remodel was to set a precedent for the future interior remodeling of the rest of the hospital, creating an environment more pleasant for staff and patients.

STORAGE

The existing pediatric and maternity department was ill-situated, cramped, dirty, and poorly lit. The ward had to be vacated. the administration wing was repurposed into a more suitable pediatric and maternity wing containing a NICU, PICU, isolation rooms, with improved lighting, sanitary conditions, and a larger capacity.

ACCOUNTING

The wing was designed with bright cheerful colors for the children and mothers. Bathrooms were added in dedicated areas such as labor and delivery. The spaces were purposefully designed with minimal sight obstruction for improved patient observation. Expansive windows were added with views into the NICU, PICU, general pediatric and isolation rooms. The nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; station was situated in the hall for ideal patient observation. Ample cabinet storage was added and shelving for monitors were installed, both of which were previously lacking. Lastly, the maternity suite is now equipped with many individual controls for patient comfort.

Duplex Housing

Haiti Adventist Hospital

Brief: The goal of the Duplex housing project was to repair two duplexes that had sustained earthquake damage in order to house long-term volunteers who were otherwise housed in the hospital.

Concept & Intent When I arrived, the only space available to house volunteers was within the hospital. As a result, in the two years since the earthquake, volunteers had been utilizing valuable space that would have otherwise been available for patient care. There were two duplexes adjacent to the Emergency Department that needed to be repaired and remodeled to house volunteers outside the hospital. The earthquake damaged the duplex structures, but left them salvageable. A construction company, certified in concrete repair, was awarded the contract for the duplexes repair and remodel.

The concept was to blend the houses into the environment of trees and rocky soil. The interior was to feel open and light instead of closed and heavy. Neutral colors were used to create a space that would be appealing to the various people filtering through the houses. The plans maintained minimal utilities, but delivered sufficient light and water for basic use and habitation. IKEA furniture was employed to maximize space in the small 450 square foot dwelling.

Rehab Retaining Wall and Shelter

Haiti Adventist Hospital

8 The Excavation of the Site

Brief: The Retaining wall is a site improvement as well as a space enhancement. It provides shelter for the physical rehabilitation patients while enlarging and defining the rehabilitation center on the HAH campus. Prosthetics

Concept & Intent The Rehabilitation Center, containing prosthetics and physical therapy operations, was located in a cramped space. The circulation spaces going into the prefabricated buildings werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sufficient for the patient census, and lacked a walkway that led to the prosthetics containers. The aim of this project was for space and site improvement: enlarging the rehabilitation site and improving circulation for better patient accessibility. The material chosen for the design was consistent with much of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building vernacular. The use of rock walls created a unifying signature on the hospital campus, making it read as a cohesive whole. The wall was designed to conform to the contours of the land and blend into the natural landscape. It gave definition to the front entry, enhanced circulation pathways and helped form the outdoor working area for prosthetic fitting and plaster cast demolition.

Entryway Gate

Sept. 2010 - April 2012 / Adventist Health International / Brian Harmon 10

Haiti Adventist Hospital

Brief: The entry gate to the hospital campus was damaged and the original size was not large enough to allow trucks with trailers to pass. Redesign and replacement of the gate was needed to allow entry of large vehicles with ease and maintain security.

Concept and Intent After I arrived, the first priority was the redesign of the damaged entry gate. Security was essential, as the earthquake, coupled with pre-existing poverty resulted in high crime rates. For that reason, a monitored entry gate was crucial for incoming and outgoing traffic including large freight trucks. There were limited local supplies and materials. What was available was of poor quality and limited selection. The gate needed to be built solid, but light enough to hinge on the gate columns and operate with ease.

Building Columns

Ultimately, the final gate design was comprised of two simple, mirrored halves hinging inward. The operation was simple, it contained in symbolic form the values of an Adventist institution, and acted as signage for HAH.

Utility Ring

Sept. 2010 - April 2012 / Adventist Health International / Brian Harmon 11

Haiti Adventist Hospital

Brief: The utility distribution around the Hospital site was insufficient and inaccessible. A power, water, and future data line was needed to supply the site with utility distribution and ease of access for future expansion on the site.

Concept and Intent

Utility Ring Diagram: 1st Phase

Electrical and water systems are essential, as the hospital could not function without either. Consistency and accessibility did not exist in the original design, which prevented smooth hospital operations and ancillary functions. Electrical distribution was haphazard as exposed wires draped across trees and random poles. The wire was not sized correctly to run the needed distance therefore, insufficient power supply was a problem. The need was for ample power to be delivered safely to other buildings on site. Site expansion exposed the need of an accessible ring of utilities that could be accessed and supply future needs. Previously, water distribution was extremely inadequate compared to the needs of the site.

Main Line Junction Box Power Supply

A ring was proposed to go around the hospital in phases, the first phase now reaches to the newest additions of the hospital campus: the reclaimed duplexes, rehab center, storage depot, miscellaneous housing facilities and future volunteer housing.

Brief:

l tt Li

This project is a Contemporary Art Museum and home for the Broad Art Foundation. The project is located on the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica Blvd, in Beverly Hills, California.

Site Plan

Concept & Intent The Concept harkens back to the developmental JOURNEY of stylistic movements through time. The styles grew, changed direction, MERGED and INTERLOCKED with other styles, remaining distinct but influenced by overlapping or LAYERED ideas. A path never breaks but is continuous in its JOURNEY through time, FOLDING to change direction, but still connected to its roots. The buildings form is an embodiment of an INTERLOCKING network of FOLDING pathways, creating a rich diversity of spatial experiences as one JOURNEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through the INTERLOCKING LAYERS of FOLDS. The corner is one of the most high profile intersections in all of Los Angeles. The program has three main components: storage, education and gallery space; folding together in three unified but functionally distinct sections, of which the gallery form manifests into a tower at the street intersection. The existing site possessed a charming retail section of buildings which was reconstructed into the new museum grounds. It is bolstered by a public outdoor space, inviting people to linger. The pathway through the building is of utmost importance, the spaces fold and interlock with each other creating multiple spatial experiences of expansion and contraction alternating from large public spaces into more intimate spaces. The spaces flow together in a journey relating to the past and sampling the future. The journey culminates in viewing the contextual relationship of the museum between Hollywood Hills and Century City.

Culinary Institute and Fine Cuisine

Brief:

Concept diagram

The Hub project is a culinary school, restaurant with a cooking demonstration counter, drink bar, and community goods bakery, located in the Portland Alberta district on the corner of Alberta and 23rd St.

Concept & Intent The Hub is a step up from a cafe but maintains a cafe feel. The structure is seen as one approaches the building. Steel framed windows provide a void-like contrast to the solid concrete structural walls. Upon entering, the cooking demonstration counter is seen framed by the entrance into the dining area. The skylight highlights the demonstration counter area, designating it as the central functional focus of the building. The atriumlike void below the skylight allows a visual connection between floors, and is the central core which all function and circulation revolve around.

Moment Chair

Side Chair Design

Brief: The furniture studio term project was a side chair designed to the guidelines of the NextMaruni wooden side chair competition.

Concept & Intent Descriptive sentence:

The shape of the Moment Chair responds to the forces exerted through the act of sitting. The inspiration for the chair comes from the moment diagram of the calculated bending/moment force exerted on a construction member. The shape of the legs, seat supports, and back support are a direct reflection of what the moment diagram would be on the particular chair members. The chair was designed with comfort in mind. Measurements on existing chairs were taken, adjusted, and tested in order to reach a high level of comfort. The construction concept was to simplify fabrication by using basic techniques in both processing and assembly. Using a simple set of templates generated from Autocad, the chair structure is processed from birch veneered 1/2â&#x20AC;? plywood with edges left exposed. While the seating surfaces are veneered with quilted maple. The chairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aesthetic is simple but elegant.

CYAN PDX

Apartment Refinish

Brief: This project exercises picking and scheduling finishes for an existing apartment space for a specific client’s needs. The space is a large apartment within the Cyan PDX, located in Portland, Oregon.

Concept and Intent The Client is a man of travel and business, an on the go lifestyle which changes as frequently as his travels. There needs to be a place for him to have a “place of refuge” when business becomes overwhelming, a consistent, nurturing environment that’s inviting, warm and relaxing. This “home” does this through warm, earth color tones, use of natural materials such as wood and stone, as well as touches of natural motifs or pattern. In order to keep the small apartment space open to make it feel bigger, the spaces will flow one into another without hindrance of physical divisions. Spatial definition occurs through the use of material or color change as one moves through the apartment. Furnishings are minimal in order to keep the space open. Adding to the openness, glass is used for tables and shelving surfaces. A single, solid color on the walls presents a plain back drop for art prints which the client collects. Pattern is introduced into areas such as the bathroom. Natural textures will be used on sitting surfaces such as leather or wood and color will be kept to warm browns (earth), greens (foliage, trees), and yellows (sand, wood). These natural materials will also wear through time adding character of use, but are durable and last.

The Elwood Cafe

(Safety Shutters)

Brief: In a Group Project design of an Espresso Kiosk located on Duranleau St. on Granville Island in British Columbia, I was responsible for the design of the operable side shutters

Concept & Intent The first need is the safety for building contents, and second is having shelter from the weather. Due to minimal installation space and limited aesthetic choices, pre-manufactured roll down safety shutters and awnings were ruled out. In order to accomplish multiple tasks with one product, a custom design materialized by first looking at precedents of breaking panel systems. Space restraints and minimum shelter requirements were addressed by the design of extendable fingers interlocking with each other that slide to the needed position of geometry.

Mechanism Design

Precedent Study: Turner Exhibits

Counter weight and wheel crank position within the building has to fit within a minimum clearance of other equipment operation.

An additional intent for the manual mechanical mechanism is the desire for the building to operate and open in a theatrical way.

The hinges are designed to slide in tracks within the upper half of the shutter system. The hinges would be machined from solid aluminum 1â&#x20AC;? thick and relieved in order to achieve required geometry .

The Millrace Studio Complex

Satellite studio of University of Oregon

Brief:

Road

The project is a live/work, design/build studio located in Springfield Oregon on S. Mill st. along the Millrace near the mouth of the Willamette River

Work Area

Concept & Intent The intent of the building is to create a satellite program stemming from the University of Oregon, to help redesign and revitalize Springfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built environment. Students attending the satellite program will work closely with members of the city in design/build scenarios, helping to develop the community and its architectural landscape.

Studio

ito

The Studio Complex is designed in response to the environmental elements of the Millrace and placed specifically to limit its site interruption and excavation. The studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure relates to the timber industry which the millrace used to serve. Natural light fills the interior spaces through large glazed surfaces, fostering a strong interior/exterior connection in order to embrace the beauty the Millrace has to offer.. The functions of living and working spaces are kept purposely separate.

Double Facade Design

(Huestis Hall Entry)

Brief: This project is an enclosure detail of a double facade oriel and entrance design for Huestis hall located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, OR.

Concept & Intent Huestis Hall needs an entry upgrade. Along with the upgrade, a conference room will be designed atop the entry. Together they will be the centerpiece of a recomposed facade . The facade is to receive a Flemish bond patterned brick veneer, with a double facade oriel where the conference room will be. The entrance facade is south facing and in need of shading to ensure efficient energy performance for the interior space. The double facade is designed to protect the shading system. The double facade utilizes a structural fin system attached to the building structure and contains the mounting system for the shade blades and their opening and closing operations. The facade itself is composed of overlapping glass panes, suspended by turned aluminum struts in a truss configuration, mounted to the structural aluminum fins. metal cap
