Education as Cultural Exchange Arch 582 | Wortham-Galvin, Griffin | Integrated Studio | Spring 2013 Portland State university | Graduate School of Architecture

Recreation Education Community With utilitarian activities, such as vocational education, cultural orientation, administrating, and transitional live/work housing the program is focused around Service to the Community that is East Portland. A place to gain valuable work experience, Bridging the gap between high school,college and the workforce. Most employers want some previous work experience and many prof of employment. Immigrants and refugees may be unfamiliar with the local skills of employment and have no prof of previous employment. Service to the public, work experience will be in direct service to the public community. We participate in community through the provision, consumption and exchange of services. If you are new to the community, service ties you in way faster than consumption, as more people are coming to you. This is a real job that you get paid for while learning the trade. Outcomes Educating immigrants and youth of local trades and customs. Educating locals and youth of foreign trades and customs, Work experience, Service to the public/community,Multi-cultural exchange of knowledge/ skills.

Radiant Active Chilled Beams Radiant active chilled beams are more sustainable than radiant passive panels, though both are better than traditional HVAC Radiant Panels last for 50 yrs but cost $10,000 per 6,000 BTUH, Chilled Beams last only 25 yrs, but only cost $1,300 per 6,000 BTUH. For the same effect between the two systems Chilled Beams come in at 1/4 the price of Radiant panels, making them more sustainable.

Education as Cultural Exhange Arch 582 | Wortham-Galvin, Griffin | Integrated Studio | Spring 2013 Portland State university | Graduate School of Architecture

With utilitarian activities, such as vocational education, cultural orientation, administrating, and transitional live/work housing the program is focused around Service to the Community that is East Portland. A place to gain valuable work experience, Bridging the gap between high school,college and the workforce. Most employers want some previous work experience and many prof of employment. Immigrants and refugees may be unfamiliar with the local skills of employment and have no prof of previous employment. Service to the public, work experience will be in direct service to the public community.

The Phenomenal School A Phenomenological interaction with pedagogy through the architecture Arch 585 | Magarette Leite, Clive Knights| Thesis | Spring 2014 Portland State university | Graduate School of Architecture

architecture school’s practice shines a light on that of my k-12 public school experience. In Kindergarten, play and creativity are high. As one progresses towards high school, practice gives way to auditory lectures of information and beliefs. Then again, in architecture school, practice implored as the most creative productive method, constantly reminding us to learn from and design to and with site context phenomena, (facts, observed kinestheticly through the senses). University research has found, that while 80% of public school instruction is auditory, only 10% of students are primarily ‘auditory learners’, leaving the other 90% ‘visual + tactile learners’ underserved 80% of the time. This raises the question;

How can we enhance the kinesthetic learning experience of pupils, through phenomenological interaction with pedagogy through the architecture, to provide a more holistic education for students? The Phenomenal School design project is an exploration to find an answer to this question. The conversation this thesis will produce Is far more valuable than any specific exploration it contains, as The Phenomenal School not meant to be a specific piece of architecture, but to develop a methodology for how to approach education design, a lexicon of opportunities to be taken from and added to.



Lexicon

Connecting Phenomena with pedagogy through the architecture

Connecting Phenomena to Pedagogy through Architecture To properly contribute to the desired education of developing minds, the Lexicon is a diagrammatic representation of the potential synergies between pedagogical subject matter of reasoning, the phenomena of which the pedagogy is an abstract reasoning and the contextual architectural setting of the school, as ‘a special environment for the facilitation of learning.’ In short the lexicon is an amalgamation of current PPS and alternative pedagogies, connecting the architecture to pedagogy, through phenomenal first-hand experience.

The Whispering Gallery Proof |If you stand at one focus of a room with elliptical walls, any sound waves that leave you in a horizontal direction and bounce off the walls will be reflected along paths that take them through the other focus of the ellipse. This is a characteristic property of the geometry of ellipses: if you draw a line from one focus out to the curve, and reflect it as if in a mirror tangent to the curve, the reflected ray will pass through the other focus.

Crank Roof The Crank Roof is an interactive kinetic architecture, of which, while raining, pupils manipulate to learn lessons of gravity, trajectory, slope(pitch),arch, inertia, and the laws of motion. Under tutelage of the instructor a student acting as the caller, relays instruction to his/her pupils, to crank the wall up and down to find angles project water furthest/nearest the building. This kinesthetic experience allows the instructor to effortlessly relay educational content of the activity, such as math, science, meteorology, geography, geology, human and natural resources. One of many educational focuses of this field study could be Social Studies and climatology, how our climate differs and is similar to other areas of the globe and how other cultures build based on their climate and why that may or may not work here.

Tectonic Expression Using texture as a way finding tool. Entry into project spaces of the school where students explore learning through making, celebrate the phenomenal interaction with the architecture. The entry celebrates transition from finishes to tectonic expression

Final Design|Exploration Plans A dinamic synergy is created between the entry commons, indoor-outdoor project spaces, and specific shifting of the lecture mass, create phenomenal learning environments between the pedagogy, architecture and students.

In addition to phenomena as education, many public school educators said, Inviting, the first thing about the school is that it should be ‘inviting’. It needs to be welcoming as a place students cannot wait to go. It is to be a simply phenomenal place children are energized to come each day. This the reason for indoor-outdoor project spaces and the common spaces, is for if nothing else to excite the children’s imaginations. When children’s imaginations are excited they are open to influence from others.

On the third floor in addition to entry commons, indoor-outdoor project spaces, 6 - 8th graders have dirrect acces to green roof learning gardens, for phenomenal environmenal learning. -Classrooms-

What Has 4 Legs In The Morning Thoughful shifting of the central lecture mass on the south side and the temporal nature of our relationship to the sun, allows for specific optic experiences at nine in the morning when the students arrive, the afternoon as they congregate in common spaces during the lunch hour and three in the evening upon departure from the school. Each with its own significance to the student they share a commonality located in the circulation corridor. To draw attention

- 2 IN THE AFTERNOON to this temporal phenomena relating to the pedagogy of telling and writing time and thru to higher years Pythagorean theorem, text is utilized, as we are naturally drawn to symbology. The text is specific to correlelate with the time of day, for the student to gain an understanding over time of why this morning text is lit when it is morning but more significant why it cannot be seen the rest of the time. The text chosen is the sphinxes riddle, what has four legs

- AND 3 IN THE EVENING? in the morning, two in the afternoon and three in the evening? The three sections of this riddle are dispersed in the space to align with their solar temporal counterpart. previous employment. Service to the public, work experience will be in direct service to the public community.


The Musical Entry (1) As children arrive from the south they are welcomed with giant solar shade wind sails, making the invisible visible while protecting the envelope from harsh solar gain. (2) From the north students flock to triple height wind louvers, serving as gateway to both secure the interior when not in use

and channel wind from the faced inside. (3) Proudly utilizing the Crank Door, Chicken Point Cabin, by Tom Kundig, children explore Archimedian machines of “energy saving” mechanics,” such as pulleys, working with the mechanics of the “simple machines” that underlie all labor-saving devices.

Circulation

Growing up children are told, don’t touch that! Don’t drag your hand on the wall or grocery isle shelves and merchandise, but what is really happening here? We are visual+tactile learners’, we see something, form a hypothesis of what it might feel like, then proceed to explore with our hands to gain results and form conclusions. It is our human nature to explore. While admittedly there are situations we should not be exploring/learning through touching, school, the environment deemed for learning should be the exemplar situation were tactile interaction is encouraged as part of the experience. (1) Wood paneling wraps the project spaces, transverse the path of circulation, encouraging to be touched while delineating specific areas of the school. (2) While maintaing a visual threshold the exposed rafter ceiling gives lessons of loading through tectonic expresion. (3) indoor-outdoor project spaces act as a repreive from focused lecture spaces, while engaging pupils with nature. (4) 4’ planter boxes than handrails, keeps children safe, while providing ecological education.

The community table group project table dimensions where determined as a class, I proposed the butcherblock design with renderings.I proposed that we drill bolt hinges in the legs to make the table suitible for transit, so four individuals could carry the 4 by 12 foot slab like a really long, heavy surfboard. Two of my colleagues procured the building materials from the joinery scrap bin, one of my fellow colleagues and my self built the table.

URBAN FEED: Urban Farms are an integral part of the subsistence living. Livestock provides many staples of nutrition agriculture alone cannot. The concept of COOP is to integrate pre-dedicated sub-urban practices into the urban environment. Urban Feed focuses on the feeding rituals and physicality of its feathered inhabitants, as Instructional, study, and production, exploring the cycle of the chicken and the egg from conception to consumption. The project explores human use for food, and population feeding rituals and techniques of inhabitants, and how form can enhance their performance.

Building materials and elements were selected on the same criteria of environmental protection as the overall objective of the building itself. This resulted in a limited range of materials mainly timber, glass and concrete. The repetitive structural grid and sub grids Are regular allowing for rational and Economic construction, With as much prefabrication as possible. The glass envelope forms a shelter during The construction phases. The principle of a Double envelope (glasshouse and inner Buildings) allows for greater flexibility of The spaces and simplifies modifications.

Community Boulevard Se Gladstone St. Boise St. recreationeducationcommunity From Individual Parcels To Eco-Community A thoughtful configuration of housing, microindustry, and green-scapes creates public, semipublic, and private places within the residential fabric that cultivate community. In today’s society, there are parks for children and commerce for adults, and a need for vocational education and recreation and occupation for developing youth. Equitable exchange of personal capital is important for individuals to integrate with larger society as a whole, built though sweat-equity and interaction/ contribution to social capital.

P l a n t i n g S e e d s o f O pp o r t u n i t y

Portland’s 2030 plan calls for increased density and walkability, this provides a great opportunity for micro-urbanism, an upgrade of the American dream, combining the value of personal ownership with the synergies of community.

The Glasshouse is the first accessory structure (AS). Synergies between courtyards and agriculture serve as a catalist mechanism, stimulating change in the block, then the city. Bioswales/ rain gardens filter rain water from roofs and roads, a bike shop fixes/ fabricates bikes and trailers for occupational and recreational use. All AS serve as vocational education, workshops and recreational outlets.

PORTLAND PARK & REC

Rethinking The Residential Block As Environmental Social Economics The dominance of economy leads to a lack of community. Lack of community leads to in addition to many other problems, lack of investment in youth in both time and infrastructure.this lack of investment leads to diversity with a lack of understanding, and develops prejudices. These oversights are some of the main causes of homeless youth, Moreover developing idle youth in general.
