BICEFS Laboratory Proposal Competition | Winner Professor Dustin Albright, AIA At the Belle Baruch Institute for Coastal Ecology and Fo r e s t S c i e n c e L a b o r a t o r y t h e i n t e n s i o n w a s t o e n h a n c e the special connection with nature that Belle intended to preserve with spaces that transcend the forest and respect the native wildlife. The new lab stands as a powerful example to the community through the research performed and architecture that has a sensitive response to the landscape. The building is placed between the two existing buildings to connect all three buildings as one cohesive campus at the same elevation for best accessibility with the new lab building designed to bridge the gaps for what is missing in the experience of the scientists and staff of BICEFS and add emphasis on the heart of the campus; the research.

M a s t e r P l a n a n d Ve n u e D e s i g n f o r L A 2 0 2 4 O l y m p i c s Professor Enrique Hoyouck, PhD LA 2024 looks to be the most sustainable Olympic Games yet. A f t e r l e s s o n s l e a r n e d f r o m p r e v i o u s O l y m p i c s leaving many Olympic parks desolate, a truly sustainable master plan will also need a legacy plan that will fit into the needs of the city. It will also be optimal to make best use of as many existing venues as possible. The velodrome design is critical as it is one of the few venues that must be enclosed, and plans for how to keep it active after the games must be considered. After much consideration, the master plan, legacy plan, and velodrome renovation offer an Olympic park that will support a growing and diverse college community long after the games have ended.

BOWL DESIGN The most efficient use of conditioned space must be considered as well as a clear line of sight from any seatm which can be difficult with the changing elevation of the track. Much was considered to determine the best design to suit the existing needs of the given typography of the site, back of house needs and the spectator experience. The existing velodrome sits close to a residential neighborhood, which made scale a high concern. The current building did not relate well to its surrounding context, whereas the new “burrowed� strategy looks to better relate to the nearby single-family homes.

D , Henrique Houayek, Ph.D, David Franco, Ph.D Cascade is an inversion of the typical corporate monumental tower; by turning on its side it intermixes users and public in a generous public space. This gesture promotes cyclical economics through a Learning Center for BMW; where people can train to work and learn about the company’s sustainable practices. The large roof-landscape brings continuity by creating a gradient between the urban and natural conditions. The roof surface works as a bioclimatic system by cooling and purifying the air for inhabitants and passers by.

ROOF FOLDS The roof folds up in various locations to allow for many differnt technical and programatic functions while providing a variety of texture to the surface. These folds are open to the air, or enclosed, providing views from inside to out or vice versa.

BROOKLYNISM B r o o k l y n , N Y.

AC S A S t e e l C o m p e t i t i o n : T a l l B u i l d i n g s P r o f e s s o r Pe t e r L a u r e n c e , P h . D If Manhattanism is an unconscious manifestation of a skyscraper, Brooklynism is a conscious skyscraper. In Brooklyn, hyper-density is encouraged through urban centers not isolated objects. Buildings consider local and larger context through a ground plane that engages and a form that does not overshadow. The architecture is conscious of the environmental impact and looks to passive approaches using sun orientation and convection patterns. In a renaissance of art and technological innovation, Brooklyn encourages manufacturing that was once dominant in the early 20th century, through zoning. Long span capabilities of steel facilitate vertical factories producing jobs and ideal live-work conditions.

TAILORED CONCRETE Clemson, SC.
2016
E x p e r i m e n t s i n Fa b r i c - Fo r m e d C o n c r e t e Professor Joseph Choma Much has been explored in the area of fabric forming, but little has been developed in the impact of seams and pattern manipulation on casting. Through the exploration on the impact of pattern manipulation on fabric forms, the additive process of concrete casting was driven by the forms of the patterns. The patterns determined where the mass of the concrete would form in areas of tapering or volume. The project continued beyond the four-week academic project into summer break, where the experiments became more rigorous challenging many more tailoring techniques. This process is now being developed into a book in collaboration with Joseph Choma.
45
PATTERN MAKING With extensive training in pattern making from a background in fashion design, drafting patterns became a very intuitive process. The goal was to push the limits on what the concrete would be able to form. What is the largest differences of volume to be obtained? What is the finest detail that can be acheived. Many attemps were unsuccessful in the process of experimentation, and there are many more iterations to go to further test these limits at various scales.

DICHROIC BRICK Charleston, SC.
2016
Exhibition Installation Professor Ufuk Ersoy, PhD In studying Bruno Taut’s Glashaus, I was inspired by the euphoric qualities that Taut was after. He had aspirations for a haus that offered pure beauty in light. Two stairwells share a glass block wall, offering views of shadows of passers-by on either side. What if the experiences could be different on either side of the stairwell? Dichroic technology can offer this change of experience, much like the Luxifer glass prisms, it refracts glass on one side and reflects on the other. What is different about dichroic film is that it also reflects and refracts different colors as well as intensities of l i g h t . Wo r k i n g w i t h n a t u r a l l i g h t , t h i s d e s i g n w i l l w o r k a s a wall in an exhibition where visitors can pass on either side with different experiences of light and color. It stands as an interpretation to the exhibitions theme of urban utopias.

MODULARITY Using the angles derived from the Glashaus, multiple bricks are formed into a wall in a random pattern. The angles when rotated and flipped, offer different reflective and refractive qualities of the dichroic film.

+ HOUSE Des Moines, IA.
Under Construction.
Residential Design MRA Design & Build (owner) A private residence overlooking a scenic pond. The main functions of the house follow a straight line perpendicular to views of the pond and southern exposure. The circulation of the entry and stairwell intersect the bar of the main functions and this gesture is further expressed with warm cedar tongue and groove siding. The house was positioned to nestle in the existing trees on the site and protect as much of the existing landscape as possible. Minimal maintenance was considered as the client is a professional athlete and rarely home. I completed all construction documents and collaborated with the engineer on framing plans. The house will be built by a local b u i l d e r i n s p r i n g . 2 0 1 7.

JUDACULA RETREAT Cashiers, NC.
Summer 2016
Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design Project Leader in collaboration with Vishnu Shreenath & Shahrooz Beheshti After camping at the site the team determined that the mountaintop must remain sacred and not to be disturbed. There were also soil deformation concerns which pushed our decision to structurally tie into the m o u n t a i n i t s e l f . To c h a n n e l t h e w a t e r f l o w d o w n t h e mountain a made-made waterfall was formed through the entrance and main hall of the building. The project began with a feasibility study that was approved and moved into conceptual design. It was later determined although financially feasible to build and operate, a retreat center would not have enough demand in the area.

FROEBEL HOUSE Bettendorf, IA.
2015
Residential Design & Construction Administration MRA Design & Build (owner) Located in a suburban neighborhood on a small lot and a client with a limited budget, the goal was to maximize the impact of space with a small footprint. The concept was to stack volumes like froebel blocks and create dynamic moment within the volumes. The more volume shared, the more drama created for the c l i e n t s d e s i r e d e f f e c t . Fo r t h i s s t r a t e g y , a l l p r o g r a m elements were grouped together to create the maximum effect. I designed the house and completed the construction documents, and worked with the engineer on framing plans. My company performed the build, and my role was to direct all design decisions, client relations and manage the budget. My husband acted as the construction manager, and I filled in as needed.

LIGHTBOX HOUSE Eldridge, IA.
2014
Residential Design & Construction Administration MRA Design & Build (owner) A house for a large family, the intension was to inspire dreams for the young children to growing up inside. The center cupola volume acts as a vessel of light and dreams through the center core of the house. Every room touches light at the center core and an outside aperture to allow dreams to float along the breeze up the cupola. I designed the house and drafted the construction documents. My husband and I framed the house, and hung the Sheetrock ourselves. I designed the interior details, and worked side by side with my h u s b a n d w h o p e r f o r m e d a l l o f t h e f i n i s h c a r p e n t r y . We managed all subcontractors and sold the house as our own agents when complete.
