LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR In the Spring Semester 2014, the School of Architecture (S|ARC) received a $5,000 grant from the Brick Industry Association (BIA) in order to provide extra-curricular support, and student awards, for the Third-year Collaborative Tectonic Studio Design Competition. This particular studio is specifically focused on the tectonic systems of buildings and the collaborative practices between architects and constructors. This is the fourth year in a row that the School has received generous funding from the Brick Industry Association. We truly owe our sincere thanks for this innovative collaboration to Nathan Moore, Development Officer for the College of Architecture, Art + Design, and Jewel Warlick, Director of Marketing for the Brick Industry Association in the Southeast Region. It continues to be a reality as a result of their guidance and persistence. The office of the Director would also like to thank the Third Year faculty, Assistant Professor Alexis Gregory and Assistant Professor Emily McGlohn, along with this year’s Building Construction Science faculty member, Assistant Professor Tom Leathem, for their leadership and inventiveness in developing and leveraging these funds in order to provide the students with both a memorable and a highly educational experience. The funds supported items such as guest jurors, studio materials, and this publication. The reality of this type of private support significantly raises the bar above the normal expectations of our students. It strategically provides a structure for students to engage with industry and practicing architects from the region, ultimately having a profound impact on the professional education of these young designers and constructors. In closing, the School truly appreciates the external support and encouragement of our alums, friends, and industrial partners. Increasingly, we have come to depend on you in order to continue to deliver these extra-ordinary educational opportunities to our students, and to have vehicles such as this important monograph to celebrate their stellar designs and work products.

Brick industry Association Competition
BRICK INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION The Brick Industry Association (BIA) is the national trade association representing distributors and manufacturers of clay brick and suppliers of related products and services. Since its founding in 1934, the association has been the nationally recognized authority on clay brick construction and represents the industry in all model building code forums and national standards committees. BIA is involved in a broad range of activities that appeal to architects, builders, community officials, and consumers, including Technical Notes on Brick Construction, Brick in Architecture, Brick in Home Building, Builder Notes, national award competitions, educational seminars, and numerous other programs. BIA also advocates for the industry at the federal, state, and local level with its environmental, health, and safety work as well as educational programs for local municipal and planning officials. Along with the national headquarters, BIA is comprised of regional associations that manage programs in the Heartland, Midwest/ Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest.

PROJECT STATEMENT Lowndes County Volunteer Fire Department District 1 requested a new volunteer fire station to be located at 34 Cedar Street, Caledonia, MS. The building was to be approximately 10,000 SF, complete with apparatus bay, bunk rooms, day room, training room, administration offices, possibly a public forum space, and other spaces typical of a fire station. Bridging documents were provided by the client to aid in the development of the designs and final documents. The final proposal included building designs and construction strategy information. Projects were judged based on not only their creativity, thoroughness, and tectonic detailing, but for the study and integration of brick design. The project spanned the entire Spring semester of 2014, starting with a field trip to Caledonia, MS. Jurors chose one winning team and one honorable mention. Students on the winning team were awarded a scholarship, courtesy of the Brick Industry Association.

PROGRAM STATEMENT Each team was comprised of at least two architecture students and one building construction science student. This was a collaborative studio and was formatted as such from concept development to final presentation, working in conjunction through a system of checks and balances within each team. This setup was done to insure a holistic project delivery in order to provide the client with the best possible design, keeping in mind finances and requirements given. These proposals evaluate the following (in no particular order): [1] building design intent [2] building material makeup [3] cost estimate [4] complete project schedule [5] quality assurance and control plan [6] site utilization plan [7] site safety plan [8] space adjacencies [9] circulation [10] sustainability [11] site plan [12] construction This program accommodated the needs of a volunteer fire station, while also aiming for the potential to transform into a full-time station in the future, if the need arose. The day room was a focus for the program because of the importance of the community relaxation space for the fire fighters. Plenty of sleeping and eating space was also provided for those working long hours at the station. The need for the station to be flexible was also accommodated for in this program. The request for a training room, a safe room and a space for possible community functions (i.e. elections, town hall meetings, etc.) was met in creative ways throughout the group of projects. One of the main goals was to create a space where the fire fighters might actually WANT to be, even if they are not working.

COLLABORATIVE DESIGN It is important during college that students be exposed to real-life situations related to their respective fields of study. Students gain experience that will help them be better prepared for a job upon graduation by being involved with a work-like environment. During the Spring semester of 2014, Architecture students are involved in the second portion of the Tectonic Studio series. This semester had a strong focus on the details of building design and how they can be achieved in a realistic manner. In order to help fully understand the implications related to design decisions, the Architecture students are teamed up with Building Construction Science (BCS) students to work together on a single project. These majors are grouped together in order to begin understanding the importance of a strong relationship between the respective majors. Each team was composed of three to four members: 2-3 Architecture students and 1-2 BCS students. These teams worked together on the project design the entire semester, each giving input where most needed to help further the quality of the design. The full involvement of the two parties throughout the design process affected the overall outcome as well as its legitimacy in a realistically budgeted environment.

SITE VISIT AND ANALYSIS The city of Caledonia, MS is about 2.8 square miles, and 17.6 miles northeast of Columbus, MS, and provides a rural background that is common to smalltown Mississippi. The city’s population consists of 1,030 people and has a growth rate of 1.5% each year. This benefits the city to become an ideal location with growing opportunities for large-scale projects. Since the city is of a smaller scale, there are few employment opportunities in the area. Therefore, the average person must commute outside of Caledonia in order to maintain employment. While at the site visit, the students were to analyze the surrounding contexts of the site, the conditions of the streets, the landscape, wind conditions, the movement of the sun, the materiality of the surrounding houses, and the elevations of the site. The project site is three acres and sits at the corner of Main Street and Lawrence Drive. The surrounding context of the site is a typical rural, residential neighborhood. Currently Caledonia does not have an actual fire station, but is served through the outlying county stations. The idea of designing a new fire station addresses the issue of response time to the area. The site where the proposed fire station will be is in an ideal location because of the close proximity to the neighboring houses, which will help connect the fire station to the community and possibly become a precedent for future development.

Through the development of knowledge and understanding of the program, structure, form, and the concepts of the project, the final design is developed to optimize efficiency and constructability. The fully developed proposal presents an argument about the idea behind the prefabricated sheds (the most cost efficient way). The proposal resulted in a solution that took the idea of the prefabricated shed and turned it into an architecturally functional and aesthetic government building. SITE PLAN

The concept for this fire station started with the idea of placing the entire program under one simply folded roof. With a simple elegant form, the details became the focus. The brick design is an offset of wythes where some of the brick is subtracted to bring light into needed spaces. A polycarbonate backup wall allows for the light to enter into the spaces during the day as well as become a beacon of light for the neighborhood at night. B

Collective Crew focused on simplicity in design and strived to design a fire station that would serve as a landmark within the Caledonia, Mississippi community as well as relate to the existing community and the values it had already established. Collective Crew also wanted this fire station to be a place where the community could occasionally gather and interact. Because of that, the fire station features a community space that can be used for this interaction.

We came to the decision of placing the living quarters on the second floor of our building in order to minimize the overall footprint of the building, therefore, reducing the cost. We then made a series of moves in order to make the second floor more inviting to the community. We did this through a sense of compression caused by the building itself along with the gabion wall. This sense of compression leads the inhabitants to a set of exterior stairs, which are set to work with the compression by starting off narrow and widening upon introduction to the second floor.

Using the prominent clerestory window to highlight the path of the fire fighters, we created a central focal point at the intersection of their path with the public’s path. The training room is located at this focal point, as it is seen as the place where the public meets the private. Brick was used here as a way to emphasize the focal point. It is used in a screen that wraps around the room with varying degrees of permeability, allowing the room to subtly connect with the spaces outside its boundaries.

Utilizing the dog trot vernacular and sustainable approach to design, Incorp reinterpreted the forms and logic to suit the programatic elements of the civic place, and sought to successfully bridge the gap often associated between civic responsibilities and residential contexts. The use of brick was achieved by drawing from the original parti and articulating the different scales associated with fire stations. Specifically the human and the fire truck. The bricks were structural and of the same size as the load bearing concrete masonry units, allowing them to be charged with their integrity as structural components.

This design focused on separating the living quarters located on the second floor and the public and work spaces located on the first floor. A transitional “exchange� space would be located in the center of these elements that would act as the main circulation path for fireman. Using the absence of bricks in some areas to drive people through the space the absence would connect these two separate entities. The two offset entrances would allow the compressed public entrance to be closest to the street and be closer to the scale of the neighborhood, while the highest and most industrial parts of the building would remain pushed back away from the street.

A firestation is unique in that it must serve the individual needs of its residents while also serving the public. With effeciency, functionality, and budget in mind this project evaluates how space can retain a sense of privacy while also serving the public. This public relation is highlighted by the use of brick around and within the building. All areas that provide a space for the community to utilize contain brick which serves as a warmer surface to create a more personal aethetic and feeling.
