Engagement with high school students in a design build project offers an interaction that redefines the client/ designer/builder relationship. The approach to the project begins with an understanding of these relationships and by negotiating the overlap and influence each role has over another. Given that the high school students play a role as client/designer/builder, how can the design build process be reconsidered? The project enters this dialog by becoming the mediating entity and the measure by which these roles play themselves out; a visual learning tool that communicates through building.

The Pavilion will be a series lightweight fabric tensile structures that display the relationship between tension and compression to define shelter. The structures express themselves as a statement on how different parts influence each other to complete the whole. The Pavilion provides a place for gathering, seating, and shelter from the sun and rain. The fabric canopies provide a canvas where students express themselves through painting. By allowing the users to define how one component relates to another, different spatial and programmatic configurations can be achieved. The Pavilion can also be taken apart and moved to different locations around the school grounds to meet specific needs of the students. 0’-1”

Currently under construction near the RISD campus, this design/build project demonstrates the production, storage and delivery of thermally generated energy, harnessed by means of thermo electric power generation modules, through an architectural enclosure. The goal of this project is to investigate technology that is a critical step towards carbon neutrality, with the research having powerful implications for the future of small-scale off-the-grid energy applications. The RISD architecture team analyzed the appropriate ratio of thermally sensitive surface to total enclosed volume, as well as programming, modular design and detailing, materials research, and systems integration for the project. As part of the RISD team, I designed and detailed the framing system, the footings and connection logic, and performed structural load calculations. The framing system is designed to hold the roof/wall/floor modular units, while itself being modular to be taken apart and moved to different locations for evaluation.

Engagement with the sixty three acre heavily wooded site was focused on the natural sloping topography that led to a small creek at its lowest point. Framing views as the Arts Center cascades down the slope was the main strategy that was employed with circulation as the technique. By articulating a meandering path through the different programmatic spaces, a transparency was achieved between inside and outside, as well as a transparency within the building itself. The view corridors create a dialogue between structure and landscape by allowing the penetration of landscape into the building and the building onto the landscape.

Designed to be built off-site then transported to Tiverton, RI, the concepts of modularity were influenced by thermal and heating/cooling systems research as well. Each component of the building addresses a specific role in the collection, dissipation, and storage of heat as energy. As a whole, the design aims to minimize site intervention but seeks to provide a place rooted in the land itself where community education in agriculture and farming can take place. The articulation of the roof and the deck conceptually envision the surrounding horizon while the screens, connecting the two elements, provide a framework for seasonal vegetation to grow.

Initial explorations between solid and void instigated a study to explore a system wherein a dynamic fabric could be generated using geometries that bounded the site. The generated system was also exposed and tested against given climatic conditions in the area, as well as the assigned programmatic elements of the Center. The textural fabric was aimed at discovering unique spaces above, below, and in between. The solid/void interaction between the volumes and their different ways of aggregation became the apparatus for an architectural order that inspires spatial separation, visual connections, natural ventilation, and the creation of unique shared and private spaces.

HOSTEL FOR TRANSITORY LIVING Providence, RI URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES HANSY BETTER, Instructor Third Semester Core Studio Fall 2007
Site conditions and its history of isolation from development were the primary factors in an intervention to reclaim connections between the northern and southern boundaries of the site. These connections were represented in orthogonal striations that run across the entire site. This new representation creates a site topology wherein an architectural order and a tectonic of differing scales can be derived. Study models of the section offer a way to create spatial distribution of the program elements, which are based on time and duration of stay. The hostel and the proposed redirection of the river visually create an uninterrupted line of site that span the north-south axis, creating a continuity from a private zone into a public space.

A mapping of the diverse tactile qualities of ground textures within the site revealed an experience of place unique within each boundary. The concept for the library was to engage the site in the same way through a range of thresholds that begin with the approach and then through the spatial sequences within. Moments of discovery enhance movement where one can find himself to be alone or be with others. The aim was to create a dynamic and fluid experience where a multitude of spatial elements exist.

An Investigation of Form, Order and Transformation
The initial exploration with sticks and tubing reflected a cellular order observed through a microscope. The joints and hinges that were developed evolved into a system of branching in wire that allowed an aggregation in all directions combined with an inherent performative quality. Through a series of drawings and formal investigations, the system was reinterpreted into a planar expression that maintained the performative aspects. Both spatial and structural applications of the system were developed into an architectural project, a greenhouse in Providence, RI.
