DESIGN FOUNDATIONS

SCALE, EMPHASIS, REACTION FIRST YEAR DESIGN STUDIO FALL 2013, SPRING 2014

- LSU School of Architecture First Year Academic Achievement Award The expectation of arriving at some final conclusion at the end of a term in design school is false and misleading. Learning occurs in the process of designing and making, so attempting to impose finality on the work strips away any opportunity for it to shape the designer. The selected projects pictured to the right continue indefinitely, always allowing room for improvement and refinement. So rather than claim mastery over the work produced during this foundational year, naivetĂŠ is embraced as a motivation to continue creating and growing. The lessons learned during this studio come not from an observation of the final product, but from an observation of the work that reached towards that goal. Furthermore, these lessons apply to all projects, spanning from the compositional studies at the beginning of the year to the exploration of site construction. The issues of scale, emphasis, and reaction are invaluable to the designer because they foster a more intentional pattern of work. Instead of structuring a specific outcome, the work is structured in such a way that great outcomes are possible.

LSU STUDY KIOSK FALL 2014 DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT TEAM MEMBERS: Christopher James, Catherine Bourg, Ariana Farrar, Brianne LeBlanc, and Natasha Sachania LSU’s Quad is a crossroads. Paths, people, and stories all intersect at this beautiful junction to create an energized and dynamic environment unparalleled by any other space on campus. This project sought to inhabit the dynamic crossroads condition of the Quad by providing a unique “kiosk” for students to study in. The project began by exploring the limitations of the kit-of-parts through model making. Using basswood sticks and sheets to resemble the allotted 2’x4’s and plywood, design proposals were constructed and analyzed for their spatial qualities, their use of material, and their structural integrity. Initially, two spatial typologies emerged from the group’s models. The first was a closed layout, where habitation occurs within the surrounding structure. The second was an open layout, where habitation occurs around a central structure. As the design progressed, the group decided to develop the open plan further, for it was the most efficient use of materials and allowed for a more interesting dialogue between inside and outside space. The project’s success lies in its ability to address the needs of its users – shade, seating, and desk space – while embracing the Quad as an integral part of the dynamic fabric. At every critical decision during both the design process and the construction project, the objective remained the same – thoughtfully and beautifully inhabit the crossroads.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE LEVEE

THE BATON ROUGE WATER CAMPUS FALL 2014 STUDIO PROJECT From massive monolithic levees surrounding urban areas to natural oyster reefs on the outer fringes of the Gulf Coast, every effort is made to preserve the livelihoods of Louisiana’s inhabitants from the impending threats of flooding and land loss. According to the 2012 Louisiana Coastal Master Plan, approximately $50 billion has been appropriated to future infrastructural projects that address coastal restoration, flood hazard mitigation, and water management. However, there is still a separation between the infrastructure and people it is protecting. This project seeks to resolve that disconnect in an urban context, specifically for the future Water Campus in Baton Rouge. The Water Campus is a large-scale development that will be the future home to numerous research organizations that strive to protect and manage earth’s most valuable resource - water. The site of the campus lies south of downtown Baton Rouge on the banks of the Mississippi River. It is a peculiar condition, for numerous natural and infrastructural barriers block access to the Mississippi River, dividing the site. These edge conditions drove this design to resolve the fragmented landscape into a cohesive fabric by utilizing transit, catalyzing circulation, and activating infrastructure. Together, the three structures embrace the edge conditions of the site as design drivers rather than barriers. Through architecture, the infrastructure that separates becomes a beautiful thing that unifies.

DESIGNING RESILIENT ASIA COMPETITION 2015 SUMMER 2015 DESIGN COMPETITION

- Hosted by The National University of Singapore TEAM MEMBERS: Jori Erdman, Robert Holton, Giovanni Coakley, Asalsadat Emamjomeh, Christopher James, Michelle Jones, Ethan Jordan, Margaret Long, Delaney McGuinness, Ana Orosco, Wanqin Su, & Yi Tao. Situated on a narrow sliver of land between the ocean and the river, the village of Xinxing in the Hainan Province of China is positioned to become a beacon for resilience by utilizing its occupation of the intersection between fresh and saltwater to its advantage. Through the investment in resilient design, Xinxing will not only survive, but thrive in this unique geological condition, functioning as an example for other coastal communities. The goal of this project is to preserve and augment the elements that make an environment desirable for human occupation, while creating a means to mitigate and adapt to the damage of natural and economic disasters. Resilience by definition requires both active and passive measures to adequately confront present challenges while preparing for future ones, so as its name suggests, this proposal implements strategies that simultaneously break down the threats of flooding and isolation while they also make new opportunities for agricultural, aquacultural, and societal growth. The design strategies respond to the specific set of contexts at this harbor, including buildings that adjust to user needs, durable houses that consider availability of materials, as well as local technology, and are in tune with the site and climate conditions. The suggested programs within public spaces strengthens community bonds, while it fosters ownership and engagement in coastal issues.

ARTS CENTER FOR HATTIESBURG, MS HATTIESBURG ARTS COUNCIL DESIGN CHARRETTE - APRIL 8-9, 2016 - Received Judge’s Choice Award

TEAM MEMBERS: William Doran, Giovanni Coakley, Sarah Eikrem, Christopher James, Zach McLain, and Amanda Verastegui The Hattiesburg American Newspaper Building was recently donated to the Hattiesburg Arts Council to house a community center. The stated goals of the center were to host a variety of existing activities within the arts community, including dance, theater, kids programming, and culinary arts. The Arts Council also expressed an interest in incubating small arts-based businesses, incorporating community spaces such as galleries, a cafe, and an auditorium for public performances. The Arts Council invited three architecture schools from the region, including the LSU, to propose designs that engage the local community and culture of Hattiesburg. This proposal focused on inviting the community into the empty newspaper building to experience the creative activity it will house. The proposal includes elevated walkways, an open floor plan, and an adaptable facade. By extending an existing loading dock and awning around the perimeter of the building’s streetfront facades and incorporating a series of glass, garage-style doors, the structure becomes porous, opening itself to the community and the Main Street corridor - in much the same way that the porches on many of Hattiesburg’s historic homes create a public face and a welcoming space for neighbors and friends to share. The arts center can serve as a “front porch” for the city.

THE BR PHOTOGRAPHY HUB SPRING 2016 STUDIO PROJECT

- Received 2nd place in the Letterman’s Blueprint Design Competition Located on Government St. adjacent to Ward Creek in the Mid-City neighborhood of Baton Rouge, this project proposes a new, communal experience of photography for the residents of the metropolitan area. The design consists of two major components – media creation and media collection. The first function, creation, exists as a network of “photobooths” along the proposed Ward Creek bike trail that runs throughout the city. The second function, collection, stands as a “media hub” where the photographs are archived, printed, enjoyed, and studied by visitors of all walks of life. With the increasingly digitized world of the 21st century pervading every sphere of society, the relevance of physical place comes into question. For instance, social media connects people from all over the world to each other through photos, tweets, and comments, removed from actual face-to-face communication. By giving a physical, printed presence to photographs uploaded to social media, and designing an architecture that houses both the media and the media-creators, it generates opportunities for a palpable experience of place and people. This project re-imagines social media as a supporter of human interaction rather than the interaction itself. Through photography, experiences along Ward Creek are permanently memorialized as a printed artifact at the Media Hub, rejecting the “snap-and-upload” mentality of Instagram in favor of the care and precision inherent in the use of a polaroid camera.

First, photos are taken at ten different pavilions located along the creek. At each pavilion are electronic tablets mounted to a mechanism that rotates in all directions, allowing users to take photos at various angles and orientations. Since the camera is permanently mounted, all photos will be place-specific, documenting people’s experiences along the creek. Once the photos are captured with the tablet, the user will have the chance to do minor photo editing and add a caption.

The photos are then sent via internet to the Photography Hub to be downloaded and permanently archived on the facility’s servers. Visitors to the hub will have access to this digital archive through computers located in the individual research spaces.

Next, the photos are uploaded from the servers to the Hub’s account on various social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.). The content of these photos and corresponding captions will be filtered by Hub employees before they are uploaded to ensure no explicit content is broadcasted. An additional hashtag will be added to the caption, indicating the satellite along the creek at which the photo was taken.

Then, based on the amount of activity the photographs elicit (likes, comments, shares, etc.), the top “post” from each satellite location will be printed at the Hub’s print shop on a weekly basis. Visitors to the satellites and the Hub will be able to track the popularity of their photos on the various media walls throughout the system that continuously display a slideshow of the Hub’s social media posts.

The printed photos and corresponding captions are then moved to the gallery ROUTE 21 from each CATS ROUTE CATS21 to be displayed, organized by satellite location. The top photos month are then curated to the gallery’s mezzanine for continued display.

At the end of the week, the photos in the gallery are transfered to the shelves of the archive. Wide, thin drawers house the prints, located in both free-standing counter-height cabinets as well as cabinets built into the 8 CATS8ROUTEwithin western wall. The cabinets CATS are ROUTE arranged the archive by location, and the shelves chronologically.

LOGGIA DEL MONDO

A NEW IMMIGRATION CENTER FOR THE CITY OF ROME, ITALY FALL 2016 STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM - Selected to present project at University of Arkansas Rome Center Superjury - LSU Alumni Global Leaders Scholarship - Tiger Athletic Foundation Honors College Study Abroad Scholarship - LSU Discover Travel Award My semester spent in Rome was the most valuable experience of my architectural education to date. Through sketching, traveling throughout Italy, and living like a local in the city, I gained a wider, global perspective. This project responded to the migration crisis that has strained EU governments as they welcome refugees into their borders, proposing a new immigration center that effectively receives and welcomes persecuted peoples of other cultures into Rome. Currently, seeking asylum and residency in Rome is a laborious, bureaucratic process that is pushed to the periphery of the city, so this design brings these functions to the city center. Additionally, the institutional functions of the building are paired with access to the rich heritage of the site, and opportunities for economic stability through business incubators on the first floor. Together, these programs effectively integrate immigrants into life in Rome. The design learns from the Loggia, an elevated, open-air arcade traditionally found in the aristocratic palaces of Rome. The conceptual impetus for the project is, consequently, the inversion of the loggia as a public amenity instead of an aristocratic luxury. The geometry of this loggia then responds to its context, the four Ancient Roman ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina, creating a unique and valuable public space in the heart of the Eternal City.

RICHARD SERRA CENTER FOR VISUAL ARTISTS

| 18

SPRING 2017 STUDIO PROJECT Located in the historic Castro district of San Francisco, the Richard Serra Center for Visual Artists is a bold, yet sensitive gesture in the terraced landscape of Corona Heights Park. Inspired by the sculptures of San Francisco native Richard Serra, the architecture of the Center embeds itself into the landscape, marrying the built and natural environments. With a strong stroke in Corten Steel, the design asserts its presence in the neighborhood, formally as well as institutionally. The program of the Center is concentrated in two linear buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; living spaces to the north and working spaces to the south. Between the two structures is a lively, public streetscape, encouraging interaction and dialogue between the resident artists and the people of the community as they pass through. Adjacent to the street are additional communal spaces for special events, recreation, and community engagement, blurring the line between inside and outside. In contrast, the sides opposite the central street are more private, offering respite for the artists-in-residence and shared work space for the studios. Additionally, a secondary pedestrian axis runs up the slopes of the terraced landscape, connected by exterior glass elevators and penetrating the buildings on either side of the street.

Connected to its context and integrated into its landscape, the Richard Serra Center for Visual Artists is an important anchor for the advancement of arts in the city of San Francisco. Interior Rendering

SPRING 2018 CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS EXERCISE Conceived as a 4,300 S.F. office building on Freret Street in New Orleans, this project studies the production of construction documents as a means to communicate design intent and adhere to building codes and ordinances. Through a series of guided drawing exercises, a comprehensive construction document set was produced that includes typical architectural plans, sections, elevations and details. The building itself consists of two stories; the first floor contains a large “coworking” space, two conference rooms, a kitchen, two ADA-accessible restrooms, and a reception area; the second floor contains private offices, a lounge, a copy room, and a storage closet. From this program, a code analysis determined relevant floor areas based on construction type (reinforced hollow masonry), routes of egress, fire-ratings, and ADA accessibility considerations. Through this process, I gained a greater faculty with Revit modeling, construction document production, and code analysis.

ACCESSING ELEVATION CASE STUDIES LSU COASTAL SUSTAINABILITY STUDIO RESEARCH PROJECT 2013-2014 TEAM MEMBERS: Meredith Sattler, Carolina Rodriguez, Christopher James Conducted as a comprehensive survey of elevated structures in coastal Louisiana, this research initiative by the LSU Coastal Sustainability Studio revealed the architectural beauty and ramifications of inhabiting a landscape outside of the levee. Elevated upwards of twenty feet in some locations, these homes and buildings must withstand the imminent threat of hurricanes and their associated storm surge. The result is a vacant ground plane of vehicles and storage, while all of the living spaces hover overhead. Additionally, the methods by which people ascend these buildings are richly varied, from elaborate stairs and ramps to makeshift â&#x20AC;&#x153;cajun elevatorsâ&#x20AC;?. These issues of access and ascent became very generative for the research team, so we chose to diagram and document the access techniques for each elevated structure surveyed. Pictured here are some examples of this exploration in various coastal Louisiana contexts. As a researcher, this project was the beginning of my fascination with coastal sustainability and its implications for the architect.

RAISING NEW ORLEANS

THE MARAIS DESIGN STRATEGY LSU COASTAL SUSTAINABILITY STUDIO BOOK PROJECT 2015-2017 - Published by Springer in “Mississippi Delta Restoration: Pathways to a Sustainable Future” as a part of their Estuaries of the World series in 2018 (ISBN: 978-3-319-65662-5) TEAM MEMBERS: Christopher James, Giovanni Coakley, Jori Erdman, Elizabeth Williams, Craig Colten, John Day, Jeffrey Rutherford, Adrian Wiegman, et al. New Orleans, Louisiana, is an iconic American city that is located in one of the most dynamic deltaic environments in the world. Called “The Accidental City” by author Lawrence Powell, New Orleans provides a case study for all of south Louisiana, as well as cities around the world that are increasingly threatened by sea level rise as to how settlement can continue in such a precarious location. In this project, the design proposal elevates the city of New Orleans as an adaptive course of action. The two-part strategy begins by reinforcing the lake front edge of New Orleans, along Lake Ponchartrain using infill to extend the higher, buildable ground. The higher ground would be fronted by a new cypress swamp and urban edge. The second part of the strategy aims to build a series of levee-like structures called “polders” by the Dutch, although we use the French term, “marais,” across the city by following existing infrastructure. The design proposal further develops edge and fill tactics to complete an elevation of the city out of flooding, in whole or in part.

MULTI-SCALAR BIOMIMETIC DESIGN FOR RESILIENT COASTAL INHABITATION

HONORS RESEARCH THESIS PROJECT 2013-2017 - LAKA Design Competition Honorable Mention - LSU Discover Scholar Award - Louisiana State of the Coast Conference 1st place Student Poster Presentation - Eleven Magazine Biomimicry Design Competition Honorable Mention The slow violence of environmental degradation caused by climate change challenges the resilience of human inhabitation. Resilience in this case is the ability for architecture to persist in the face of stress and strain, integrating itself and its occupants into the surrounding landscape through responsive programs, structures, materials, and systems. In the coastal regions of the world, environmental stresses are especially acute, for sea level rise, subsidence, and the increasing severity of storms continually threaten homes and cities with inundation. To break the expensive build-flood-rebuild cycle that plagues coastal communities, an ethicalshift must occur in the design of buildings and cities that embraces adaptation to the water instead of avoidance. The Oystower | Oystown project answers this ethical imperative, testing the concept of biomimicry as a means to design resilience at the scale of a dwelling and the scale of a community. Modeled after oysters and the accretive reefs, the design proposal deploys bio-engineered oyster reefs as both a structural and conceptual foundation at these two scales. Synthesizing the oyster + tower and the oyster + town, respectively, the Oystower | Oystown project stewards the health of both the surrounding coastal ecosystem and its human inhabitants through biomimetic design.

principle to the architecture. Spanning the scale of the marsh to the human inhabitant, the Bio+Mimicry Matrix is a tool to summarize and synthesize the application of Biomimicry to a coastal dwelling.

“BIO”

+ THE MARSH

“MIMICRY” THE BUILDING SYSTEMS

Tidal marsh habitats demonstrate complex interdependent systems of animal, plant and environmental conditions.

The building design demonstrates a similar interdependence of structural, programmatic, material, and environmental systems, including: energy, water, and air.

THE OYSTER REEF

THE OYSTER REEF FOUNDATION

Oyster reefs demonstrate increased strength over time and continue to expand and self-propagate each season. Because they are anchored in the marsh, reefs act as energy dissipating wave breaks and habitats.

THE OYSTER SHELL The oyster shell grows through a process of accretion solidifying minerals in the water. The hardened shell structure protects the soft animal within.

THE OYSTER ANIMAL Crassostrea virginica Oysters are selfsufficient filter feeders. They have a net positive impact on the environment, particularly in their ability to filter large quantities of water, remove toxic impurities and absorb carbon.

The artificial oyster reef is created with oyster rings anchoring the building to the marsh. The reef stabilizes the building by resisting lateral forces such as wind and storm surge.

THE 3D-PRINTED BUILDING ENVELOPE The design of the building envelope is based on the accretion process of the oyster shell. Prefabricated concrete panels are installed on a wooden frame enclosing the program.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS The building is designed to be selfsufficient: using sunlight for energy, maintaining a closed loop system of food and waste, and filtering salt water for potable uses of the inhabitants.

“BIO”

+ THE CYPRESS

Taxodium distichum The cypress tree has a cellular structure by which it grows straight, tall and strong. Wood from cypress trees has long been used in coastal construction due to its water resistant properties.

THE LIVE OAK Quercus virginiana The live oak has a cellular structure by which it grows long curved branches that add structural stability to the overall tree. The branches were often used in ship building during the pre-industrial period.

“MIMICRY” THE SHIPPING CONTAINER CORE The shipping container is the structural core for the living and research spaces. The core also houses all of the equipment and storage necessary for self-sufficiency.

THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM Surrounding the shipping container core are curved, engineered wood members. Their curved shape enhances their structural performance and frames the shell enclosure.

THE LEAF

THE PHOTO-VOLTAIC TILES

True to all plants, leaves act as solar collectors and are able to turn sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

Photo-voltaic tiles are embedded into the prefabricated panels of the shell and generate electricity for research and building services.

THE WATER In the marsh ecosystem, water determines the form, life and navigation amongst all biological entities. The fluid properties of water give shape and character to land masses.

THE BUILDING CIRCULATION The fluid nature of water influenced the design of the building circulation and flow of air and water through and around the building.

THE MANGROVE Rhizophora mangle Mangroves are salt tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in coastal conditions and create oyster habitats. Their long branched root systems serves to provide structure as well as filtration in low-oxygen coastal waters.

THE PILE FOUNDATION

THE HUMAN

The branching concrete pile foundations work in conjunction with the oyster reef to provide additional lateral stability and some piles will act as a filtration straw as with the mangrove.

At their best, humans act as stewards and caretakers of the coast. Through the use of Traditional Ecological Knowledge, humans practice sustainable aquaculture and agriculture.

THE PROGRAM Through the research function and self-sufficient nature of the design, the building acts to cultivate and steward the coastal environment.

BATON ROUGE UNEMPLOYMENT FALL 2017 STUDIES IN COMMUNITY DESIGN According to a report by the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, Baton Rouge ranks 11th among the nation’s 100 largest metro areas in concentrated poverty. [1] The US Census Bureau defines this concentrated poverty as “40 percent of the population of a tract living below the federal poverty threshold.” [2] To fully address this problem, it is prudent to investigate the concept of unemployment, which is both a cause and effect of poverty. When people are unable to work and provide income for themselves and their families, poverty deepens. This project seeks to understand the current landscape of unemployment in Baton Rouge by investigating the process of finding a job and the points at which someone is likely to become or stay unemployed. This is followed by a study in the categories of employment that are typically available to a population, and the way that has materialized in the urban fabric of Baton Rouge. Through the subsequent mapping and historical analysis of the city, numerous barriers to employment evidenced themselves, such as suburban sprawl and racial segregation. However, through design, there is the opportunity to break down these barriers and offer more connections between disenfranchised populations and the vital employers of the city.

LAUNDRY

With this in mind, the Louisiana Office of Community Development (OCD) through their Louisiana RESTORE task force proposed a buy-out program to purchase the flooded properties and relocate the whole community to a new site with new homes. To facilitate this process, our team was charged with mediating the goals of the program with the needs of the residents. Our first task was to host a community meeting where residents could learn more about the buy-out process and voice their concerns. Based on this input, we produced drawings on what the new homes and new neighborhood could look like.

PROPOSED SITE SECTION

6' - 0"

Located in the rural town of New Roads, Louisiana, the neighborhood of Pecan Acres is no stranger to water. In the past thirty years, the community has flooded over fifteen times, ruining homes and disrupting livelihoods. Although Pecan Acres was built by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) to encourage home-ownership among lower-income African Americans in the area, the site selected for the development is extremely low-lying and suffers from frequent inundation and subsidence. Evidenced by the most recent floods in October 2017, the slab-on-grade houses are unfit for the floodplain, and the constant repairs are economically and socially unsustainable.

The most valuable lesson learned during these experiences was the importance of clear communication and teamwork between consultants. For example, the kitchen spaces of the dining halls required the coordination and expertise of the mechanical engineer, the food service equipment consultant, and the architect to align. Additionally, I realized the success of architectural practice lies in the ability to share goals, duties, and responsibilities to the team to effectively complete the project.

One of the office’s largest markets is that of Food Service, specifically university dining halls, so I gained valuable insight to this industry. A majority of the projects were interior renovations of existing buildings; however, our team would frequently serve as the Food Service Consultant for new buildings completed by other architects. Some of the university dining projects I worked on include: James Madison University’s “D-Hub” Temporary Dining Facility, University of Kentucky’s Student Union Renovation, Eastern Kentucky University’s New Case Dining Hall, and University of South Florida’s “The Village Dining”.

TIJUANA, MEXICO

INTERN WITH ALL PEOPLES CHURCH TIJUANA MAY 2017 - AUGUST 2017 In the summer of 2017, I moved to Tijuana, Mexico to participate in a missions initiative of the Antioch International Movement of Churches called Engage the Nations. Myself and ten other college students from across the United States became a team of interns for Antioch’s churchplant in Tijuana, All Peoples Church Tijuana, with the purpose of connecting people to the church and connecting people to Jesus. Our weekly tasks varied, for the needs of the church changed frequently throughout the summer. For instance, numerous short-term mission trips came to Tijuana during the first half of the summer, so the interns helped lead and coordinate service projects and outreach events for the teams. Some of the projects included constructing retaining walls in a neighborhood that suffers from landslides, visiting local orphanages that the church is partnered with, and investing in the teenagers of the church’s youth group. Another role that I played specifically was directing marketing and graphics for the church. Pictured here are examples of announcement slides and invitation cards I designed to promote the church’s events. One event that was particularly successful was the series of Free English Classes we hosted at the end of the summer. Numerous people in the city were impacted by the community fostered through the classes, and I learned the importance of planning and preparation, especially when serving as a translator between English and Spanish. Through this experience, I grew tremendously in teamwork, leadership, and fluency in Spanish.

COLEMAN PARTNERS ARCHITECTS BATON ROUGE, LA

STUDENT INTERN ARCHITECT AUGUST 2017 - PRESENT As a student intern at Coleman Partners Architects in Baton Rouge, LA, my work centers around gaining experience in the construction administration phase of architecture projects. Three projects I have participated in include Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School, The Water Institute of the Gulf, and renovations to LSU’s Patrick Taylor Hall. My primary responsibilities included documenting and reviewing shop drawings and submittals for compliance with the architect’s drawings and specifications. I have also conducted site visits to these projects to observe the construction process first-hand.
