01 INSTITUTE FOR BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES
THIS PROJECT WAS MY FINAL CAPSTONE PROJECT OF MY ACADEMIC CARRER. A CULMINATION OF THE SKILLS I ACQUIRED THROUGHOUT MY 5 YEARS OF EDUCATION. THE PROJECT WAS SITED IN DOWNTOWN TUCSON, AZ IN THE HEART OF THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. THE PROGRAM CONSISTED OF ELEMENTS SUCH AS A LIBRARY, LECTURE HALL, RESIDENCE, GALLERY, ADMINISTRATION AND RETAIL SHOP. THE BUILDINGS MAIN FUNCTION WAS TO PERFORM AS A THINK TANK FOR THE RESEARCH OF THE TOPIC OF BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES. MY POSITION AND CONCEPT WAS TO TAKE THE TYPOLOGY OF THE SURROUNDING WAREHOUSE AND HELP GIVE RISE TO THE LACKING IDENTITY OF THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH MATERIALITY, SCALE AND FUNCTION.

INSTITUTE FOR BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES
IN STUDYING THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT AND AREAS OF THE SITE, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WAREHOUSE TYPOLOGY WAS VERY APPARENT IN SURROUNDING THE BUILDIGNS. THERE WERE PATTERNS AND RHYTHMS FOUND IN THE WINDOWS AND OPENINGS, MATERIAL AND STRUCTURE. THIS WAS A LARGE DRIVER FOR THE PROJECT IN PROVIDING A RELATION TO THE PERCEPTION AN INDIVIDUAL HAS OF A WAREHOUSE AND USING THAT TO SOLIDIFY THAT IDEA AND RELATE BACK TO FABRIC AND IDENTITY.
EXPERIENTIAL RENDERINGS OF INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.
02 CENTER FOR COLLABORATION
THIS PROJECT WAS THE FIRST TO INTEGRATE SYSTEMS IN THE ARCHITECTURE CURRICULUM. THERE WERE MANY NEW CHALLENGES THAT CAME ABOUT, RANGING FROM PLACEMENT, SPACE ALLOCATION, DESIGNING FOR SYSTEMS AND INTEGRATION OF OVERALL BUILDING DESIGN. WITH THIS PROJECT I WANTED TO UTILIZE THE LONG DIMENSION OF THE SITE BOUNDARY TO TRY AND FULFILL THE PROGRAM AREA DIMENSIONS AS WELL AS GIVE AMPLE SPACE FOR MY CONCEPT OF THE “STUDY STAIR”. THE “STUDY STAIR” AROSE AS A MODULE FOR THE DIMENSIONS OF THE STUDY CARREL. THIS THEN WAS USED TO TIE IN AND CONNECT THE OTHER PROGRAM AREAS THROUGH THE PROCESSION AND USE OF THIS STAIR.

Connection of program areas through the idea of procession, function and new spaces. The stair creates a space that allows the user to process throughout the building and expierence areas such asthe library and auditorium through the use of this “study stair”. The user is able to interact with these programs visually and phisically in a different way the they are used to.

THE “STUDY STAIR” WAS INTEGRATED INTO THE STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING TO ACT AS A CATALYST TO INDUCE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF LEARNING HAPPENING IN THE BUILDING. AS PEOPLE CIRCULATE AROUND THE BUILDING USING THE STUDY STAIR THEY PASS OTHERS WHOM ARE ON THE STAIR AND ARE VISUALLY CONNECTED RATHER THEN BEING CONFINED IN A STUDY SPACE.
Floor Level 3
THE STAIR CIRCULATES THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING AND PASSES THROUGH ALL OF THE PROGRAM AREAS TO FURTHER THE IDEA OF COLLABORATION AND INTERACTION.

THIS PROJECT CONSISTED OF TRYING TO COMBINE TWO PROGRAM ELEMENTS SEAMLESSLY. THE ELEMENTS WERE URBAN HOUSING AND PUBLIC MARKET. THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS PROJECT WAS TRYING TO NARROW DOWN THE MANY DESIGN POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD BE MADE WITH THESE TWO PROGRAM ELEMENTS. n
Armory Site
ANOTHER CHALLENGING ASPECT OF THIS PROJECT WAS TRYING TO GET THE BUILDING TO FLOW WITH THE FABRIC OF ITS SURROUNDINGS. MY SITE WAS SET TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA. THIS WAS A CHALLENGE BECAUSE OF THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS THAT SURROUND THE SITE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO ADHERE TO THE FABRIC.

CHAIR FORM DIAGRAM
THE CHAIR PROJECT REQUIRED A LOT OF ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION IN THE HUMAN BODY AND IT ERGONOMICS. THROUGH THIS ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION WE WERE TO DESIGN A SEATING DEVICE RELATED TO AN ACTIVITY. THE ACTIVITY I CHOSE WAS STRETCHING WHICH HAS MANY DIFFERENT VARIATIONS AND MOVEMENTS. I REALIZED EARLY ON I NEEDED TO NARROW MY OPTIONS AND FOCUS ON JUST TWO AREAS OF THIS ACTIVITY. THE RESULT WAS A CHAIR THAT HAD TWO USERS INTERACT AND WORK TOGETHER TO PERFORM TWO STRETCHES THAT ARE SOMETIMES BETTER DOING WITH A PARTNER. THE CHAIR ACTS AS A SUPPORT AND HELPS WITH COMFORT WHILE PERFORMING THE STRETCHES.

05 BALISTA/TIMELINE
COMPRISED FROM LARGE SCALE PINE WOOD MEMBERS AND SCHEMATICS FROM THE ANCIENT ROMAN BALISTA. OUR TEAM OF THREE BUILT THE BALISTA AS A SEMESTER LONG PROJECT. FABRICATED IN THE ARCHITECTURE WOOD AND METAL SHOP WE USED ALL 16 WEEKS OF THE SEMESTER TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN THE ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES TO BUILD A WEAPON OF THIS SIZE. EVEN WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY THERE WERE MANY OBSTACLES WE CAME ABOUT AND HAD TO OVERCOME TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT. THE PICTURES DEPICT THE PROCESS OF THE FABRICATION OF THE BALISTA. THE TIMELINE WAS AN EXERCISE GIVEN IN WHICH WE WERE TO COMPRISE A TIMELINE TO HELP US AS A STUDY GUIDE FOR AN EXAM. GROUP MEMBERS: CANAAN MARTIN, BRIAN KOLFAGE

THE OPEN AIR PAVILION PROJECT TESTED OUR BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF STRUCTURE, MATERIAL, CONNECTION, PASSIVE SYSTEMS AND SOLAR ORIENTATION. IN GROUPS OF 4 WE WERE TO DESIGN A PAVILION THAT RESPONDED TO THE AREAS ABOVE AS WELL AS SHOW OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THEM.

SPACEPORT GALACTIC - FOSTER MODELED IN RHINO + GRASSHOPPER ABSTRACT MODEL 3D PRINTED
07 DIGITAL FAB./MODEL
DESIGN COMMUNICATIONS TAUGHT ME HOW TO DIAGRAM AND 3D MODEL COMPLEX FORMS. IN THIS PROJECT WE WERE TO MODEL AND DIAGRAM A BUILDING AND FIND AN ABSTRACT FORM TO MODEL DIGITALLY AND THEN BUILD A PHYSICAL MODEL WITH EITHER THE LASER CUTTER, CNC MACHINE OR 3D PRINTER. THE BUILDING I WAS GIVEN WAS THE SPACEPORT GALACTIC BY FOSTER. THE UNIQUE BUILDING FORM ALLOWED ME TO DIAGRAM A VERY ABSTRACT FORM RELATING TO FLIGHT AND 3D PRINT IT. THE RESULT WAS THE ABSTRACT FORM SEEN HERE WHICH RESEMBLES THE IDEA OF A SHIP TAKING OFF.

THE DESIGN BUILD STUDIO WAS SPLIT INTO 4 SEMESTERS. THE FIRST TWO SEMESTERS WERE DESIGN AND THE LAST TWO WERE CONSTRUCTION. I FELL INTO THE THIRD SEMESTER WHICH WAS THE FIRST CONSTRUSTION PHASE. THIS PROJECT WAS A GREAT WAY TO SEE HOW THINGS GO TOGETHER AND GET BUILT. THE WORK WAS DIVIDED UP INTO MULTIPLE GROUPS AND CONSISTED OF DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, COST ESTIMATING, FABRICATION, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION, AND CONSTRUCTION. SOME OF THE DUTIES OR TASKS I WAS INVOLVED IN ARE REFLECTED IN THE PICTURES. THE MAIN TASK MYSELF AND ANOTHER CLASSMATE BEN RISHEL WERE ASSIGNED WAS THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A GLASS MULLION WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

THE DESIGN OF THE HOUSE CALLED FOR A GLAZING WALL ON THE SOUTH SIDE. MY PARTNER BEN RISHEL AND I WERE ASSIGNED THE TASK OF RESOLVING, DESIGNING AND INSTALLING THIS GLAZING WALL. WE WERE TO USE GLASS PANELS THAT WERE RECYCLED FROM OUR VERY OWN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL AND IMPLEMENT THEM INTO THE DESIGN.

AFTER FIGURING OUT WHICH CONFIGURATION OF GLASS PANELS THAT WOULD FIT INTO THE OPENING FOR THE WALL WE WORKED WITH ACADIA TO GET THE CORRECT MULLION SYSTEM TO HOUSE THE PANELS. THERE WERE MANY GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCES WITH THIS PROJECT WHICH RANGED FROM DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, RESOLVING DETAILS, CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND FABRICATION.
TIMBER IN THE CITY COMPETITION RENDERED IN 3DS MAX
09 TIMBER IN THE CITY
IN THIS STUDIO A PARTNER BEN RISHEL AND I DESIGNED A BUILDING FOR A NATIONAL COMPETITION CALLED TIMBER IN THE CITY. THE COMPETITION WAS TO BUILD A MID TO HIGH RISE TOWER MADE OF MOSTLY WOOD. THE SITE FOR THE PROJECT WAS SET IN REDHOOK, NEW YORK. THE MAJORITY OF THE DESIGN CONCEPT CAME FROM BEING CLOSE TO THE HARBOR. WITH THE SITE BEING JUST OUT OF REACH OF THE DOCK WE DECIDED TO CREATE AN “INLAND BOARDWALK’ WITH OUR FACADE FOR THE PUBLIC. THE MAIN PROGRAM ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT WERE RESIDENTIAL, BIKE SHOP, FABRICATION SHOP, AND DIGITAL FABRICATION.
