EASY OFFICE CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA STUDIO FALL 2018 PROFESSORS EMILY MOHR, JACKILIN HAH BLOOM + FLORENCIA PITA This studio was led in part by Knowlton and visiting faculty from SCIArc. The focus of the studio was process-driven design, where outcomes were never predetermined or truly controllable. Working with the general framework of an interior “office” space within the confines of an existing warehouse in Culver City, the studio jumped between mediums and became increasingly iterative. No two moves resulted in the same geometry, and form became a result of a chain reaction. The process started by gathering a collection of related-in-some-way items--in this project’s case, the item was nail polish bottles. These collections were refined throughout the semester to become a thematic index. The ‘nail polish office’ was interested in the conglomeration and massing of many things of similar scale. Larger spaces of gathering developed by the merging and obscuring of the initial geometries. Coatings poured onto these collectives were allowed to flow freely, blurring boundaries between defined zones as a selfreferential method of embracing the natural qualities of the initial collection.

The final model combined CNC milling, 3D printing, plaster casting, and vacuum forming for the abstracted forms. Metallic color became a visual boundary marker and was represented literally by poured nail polish.

The plan, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;developed surface drawing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; includes the four interior elevations and abstracts the physical geometry. The representation uses line work, hatching, and pattern to convey the literal arrangement of pieces as well as pay reference to the original objects of the collection.

The index was refined throughout the form-making process to highlihgt particularities between each bottle in terms of color, shine, saturation, and geometry. The final variation of the index, which utilizes bright neutral lighting, was chosen for its emphasis of these differences.

The process method moved between physical and digital collages and assemblages. These creations informed later geometries and organizational strategies in the Office and were particularly interested in the conglomeration of multiples. The inherent properties of the polish and bottles were used to layer and blur boundaries through geometry and color.

Vacuum-forming was an integral step in moving between physical mediums. The nature of the machine meant the final outcome was never certain. Giving up the complete control of authorship gave more freedom to us as designers; it was impossible to get particular outcomes, nevertheless repeats. There are no duplicates in the easy office.

Plaster geometries were cast in the vacuum forms of the physical objects. The physical properties of the plaster resulted in a collection of smaller collections broken out of much larger conglomerations. The large collection of casts were used for the physical model as well as digital representation.

COILED CONCERT HALL ŻELAZOWA WOLA, POLAND STUDIO SPRING 2018 VISITING PROFESSOR LAURA BOUWMAN This studio was heavily focused on models as a means of processional design as opposed to just final representations. Multiple iterations were produced at a consistent 1:500 scale, with a final production at a larger 1:200 showing more material and interior detail. The design process began with a simplified formal interpretation of inverted surface—the studio’s ‘theme’. Subsequent study models worked off of this initial transformation and explored surface dematerialization and patterning. The main concert hall breaks through the back edge generating a form that terminates within itself. The project becomes almost cannibalistic in a single move, comparable to a snake eating its own tail.

Entry pulls underneath an expansive cantilever which houses a smaller performance space. The courtyard is covered by the main concert hall, creating a more intimate scale of entry which opens to a larger lobby interior. This wrapping form in combination with the perforated skin allows the concert hall to be protected on the interior while other spaces can take advantage of daylight and views of the surrounding rural landscape.

The main concert hall is highlighted by a wall appliquĂŠ that inverses the exterior skin. At the corner overlapping the first floor, glazing is removed to create an enclosed balcony space that can become exterior program. The staircase which is hidden from sight at the main entry becomes more prominent and allows for quicker egress after a performance. A more circuitous entry path brings patrons through the building, highlighting multiple practice rooms and community spaces.

THE TWO SEASONS RESORT COROZAL TOWN, BELIZE STUDIO FALL 2017 PROFESSORS ANDREW CRUSE + BART OVERLY PARTNERS KYLE FULLENKAMP + MICHAEL SCHWARTZ FEATURED ONLINE AT RE-THINKING THE FUTURE The Comprehensive Studio of the graduate program works in groups to develop a project conceptually while meeting with visiting consultants about structural, mechanical, and ecological matters. Corozal sits on the northern coast of Belize, experiencing warm days and temperate nights. With ten thousand residents and a prominent expat and retiree population, it is a prime location for the Resort prompt. This project embraces site’s natural duality of ‘jungle’ and ‘beach,’ deriving the formal diagram in a desire to link the two worlds. As a result, the project redefines the water’s edge while preserving the tree line. Five main masses house the resort’s 500 rooms above the major amenities spaces. Fitness centers, restaurants, pools, and ballroom become pavilions enclosed in glass to maintain a continuation of the outdoor experience. The main level incorporates this range of activity types to appeal to the wide demographic of a family-focused beach resort.

THE NEW WEXNER GALLERY COLUMBUS, OH STUDIO FALL 2015 PROFESSOR JACKIE GARGUS More than just a simple gallery, this exhibition of private art aims to create a public institution within the art community. Elements of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Wexâ&#x20AC;? include short-term residences for visiting artists and lecturers, classrooms, community spaces, administrative offices, gallery support, and public parking. The gallery derives from a courtyard scheme, tracing circulation around a central courtyard. The edge pulls toward the street corner, calling to the art school next door and creating two distinct outdoor experiences.

BUILDING THE OREGON TRAIL RESEARCH STUDIO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR KAREN LEWIS This studio focused on data visualization, developing skills on small graphic projects to work toward the final project of mapping the Oregon Trail in a geographic abstraction. The site model for this studio covered the entirety of the Oregon Trail. The model measured forty-four feet, representing 2,170 miles of the western United States. Red pins approximated the path taken by the pioneers, while over 12,000 blue pins denoted the rivers they followed. Terrain and water conditions were exaggerated to be better represented at such a substantial scale. The model noted iconic historical and natural landmarks alongside the final sites for each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal..

MAPPING THE OREGON TRAIL STUDIO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR KAREN LEWIS The waterways of the Oregon Trail create a natural cross-country infrastructure. This map looks at the major rivers that follow the trail, namely the Missouri, Platte, Sweetwater, Blue, and Columbia, and examines the different contexts a river exists in: scenic versus industrial. Utilizing GIS data, this map looks at how waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in national infrastructure evolved from an early guide for travelers to a vital resource for modern power generation. This examination of peaceful bodies and dramatic dams serves as the early basis of a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center for the Oregon Trail.

THE END OF THE TRAIL STUDIO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR KAREN LEWIS The Willamette River, which branches off of the Columbia, is a major component of the Oregon Trail. It marks what is now the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the trail and spurred the early development of Oregon City. What was once undeveloped landscape along the Willamette Falls quickly became an industrial haven as the waterway allowed for easy transportation. The map visualizes the development (defined by percentage of impervious land) of modern Oregon City, a town that owes its growth to a historic obstacle.

Percentage Impervious Land Oregon Trail Major Water

THE WATER’S EDGE OREGON CITY, OR RESEARCH STUDIO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR KAREN LEWIS Overtaken by industry, the Falls have been closed to public access for years. This project re-purposes that industrial zone to highlight the natural beauty of the Willamette. It modifies the traditional ‘visitors center’ experience of a simple exhibition by creating spaces influenced by the specificity of the location, including a pool house and river walk with a hotel for long-term visitors. Set on a drop-off along the waterfall, the project creates the transition between the two bodies of water. Water is brought in through the site, forcing visitors to ‘cross’ the river in a symbolic nod to the city’s history, while also providing the basis for hydroelectric power.

Theater + Pool Deck

Lobby + Exhibition Space

The pooldeck sits level with the river, surrounded by a wall of glass blurring the boundary between inside and out. The calm pools are contrasted against the natural roaring fall, a visual distinction on water as recreation vs infrastructure.

Lobby space (left) brings the public in from the surrounding riverwalk. The main entry aligns with the interior bridge, creating an axis that links the two main programmatic areas. Exhibtion space (right) spills out onto the outdoor deck, with an open plan allowing for versatile use.

East-West Section Hotel atrium, bridge + poolhouse The dramatic height difference between the two sides of the building mimics that of the two sides of the Falls. The pooldeck pushes down into the earth, falling level with the water below, while the hotel and theater space act as an anchor.

Hotel + Exhibition Space Rooms are placed along the perimeter to allow for a large atrium through the center, which looks down to the main floor lobby.

North-South Section Hotel Atrium + Theater The theater digs itself down below the hotel structure, allowing easy access from the main lobby. This section emphasizes transition of height along the waterfall.

CROSSROADS HOUSE OF MUSIC SAN FRANCISCO, CA STUDIO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR ANN PENDLETON-JULLIAN GUI COMPETITION FINALIST â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Crossroadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; references the interaction between the audience and performer developed in both form and experience. This design encourages public exploration of the arts by visually connecting back of house spaces to the public lobby spaces. It continues the art of performance and spectacle beyond the theater itself, connecting the audience to what is usually hidden. Spatial layering is a recurring formal theme that connects spaces through overlapping circulation, imposing volumes, and controlled sight lines. The main lobby sits at the lake level and focuses on a large glass reveal of the main concert hall and informal performance space. Visitors are confronted with what happens behind the scenes before they finally reach their seat.

99 CHARACTERS HONORS RESEARCH STUDIO + SEMINAR STUDIO SPRING 2017 PROFESSORS SANDHYA KOCHAR + DOW KIMBRELL PARTNERS VINCENT DESTEFANO + JACOB WILLIAMSON This project was the culmination of a researchbased, theory-based studio that approached abstract architectural theory as the connection between the academic and professional worlds of architecture. Our interest lied in the relation between context and character, exploring how a ‘character’ responded to, overpowered, or even became context. The ‘characters’ were created by examining iconic forms and abstract ideological positions of those we considered the ‘seminal minds’ of abstract architectural thinking: Boullée, Eisenman, Fuller, Hadid, Koolhaas, Rossi, Tschumi, and van der Rohe, We evaluated their ideas through different ‘lenses’ – Ideological, Cliche, Satirical, Political, Cultural, Populist, and Tectonic – and developed ‘families’ of these resulting characters. For our intentions, they were to be understood as personifications of specific characteristics and mannerisms, rather than as particular objects by their superficial form or appearance. The characters were used as a method to introduce excitement, unpredictability, and newness into an existing context. In this world, the grid is a context wherein the characters dwell in a predetermined territory. The ‘personalities’ of the characters then respond to the neutral constraints. The grid becomes an organizational tool where space becomes specified by the character which inhabits it. As each character reacts to its territory, the degree to which they interact with or disregard their neighbors is influenced by

Intra-Grid Relationships These vignettes expose how characters respond to the grid itself, exploring how their particular traits influence the interior spaces and interact with neighboring personalities.

Characterization

Character vs. Territory

The characters served as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;personificationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the abstract ideologies and interests that were explored for each architect. The forms were derived from built works or inspired by particular design theories.

Character vs. Territory The physical model highlighted a 5x4 portion of the full drawing and was made of white acrylic and 3d print. The final presentation model and drawings were built and printed to a 1:1 scale.

OBJECTIVE ABSTRACTION SEMINAR FALL 2018 PROFESSOR SANDHYA KOCHAR This drawing seminar examined methods of representation in architecture, looking at a wide range of artists and architects Each student selected a ‘domestic object’ as their neutral subject,to redraw through the influence of signature styles, particular works, and author themes. A different set of influencers was given each week, with quick production followed by group review and discussion of the imagery. These drawings aimed to sometimes distort, sometimes transform, and always explore.

SENSATIONS SEMINAR FEBRUARY 2016 PARTNER: BRIAN PHELAN INSTRUCTOR: ANDREW CRUSE, SEAN LALLY Visiting lecturer Sean Lally hosted the twoday workshop which examined architecture as a space defined by energy rather than physical boundaries. The main interest was how architectural space could develop and be understood without the basis of physicality. Images by photographer Gregory Crewdson were used to explore the conceptual energy fields created by heat, light, and other immediate environmental influences. The original image was then translated to an abstract representation of energy, or lack thereof, within an environment. The final designed image is seen here. Visual themes and psychological association create a sensation of a particular environment, without an established architecture as a backdrop.

MAPPING GAMEPLAY WICKED PROBLEMS SPRING 2015 GROUP: WILL WILBUR + MATT SLOBODA PROFESSOR ANN PENDLETON-JULLIAN

Pandemic is a cooperative strategy game where players work together to cure four diseases before the epidemic takes over. Each player has a role with unique abilities that influence gameplay and strategy. A turn consists of up to four actions where individual players can trade cards, move between cities, build research stations, remove disease cubes, or cure a disease. The game is won when the cure to all four diseases is found. This project examines player movement and strategic response to understand how players react to the changing dynamics of gameplay. The chart below marks influential events at each turn while the movement maps visualize each playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on the board. Each player demonstrates unique techniques that must come together to win. 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5

L BRANDS | SD+C - OPTIMIZATION STORE DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION - BATH & BODY WORKS SPRING 2019 COLUMBUS, OH The Optimization team renovates Bath and Body Works stores built within the last ten years to incorporate a full brand experience for the White Barn product. The design process develops new fixture and display plans, storefront studies, and interior upgrades to create a cohesive shopping experience between brands and increase individual store revenue. Project turn-around is quick since the process focuses heavily on simpler renovation and adaptation instead of new build out. The Optimization team balances multiple stores simultaneously, developing branding and refacing schemes before handing off to the construction team. This process works directly with office design leaders Intern responsibilities ranged from fixture purchase and arrangement plans, storefront studies, and file coordination. Multiple options are given for each proposal to explore which options are best for the shopping experience.

Responsibilities focused on graphic representation for design team meetings and distribution to landlords and contractors. This ranged from exterior and interior renderings, material diagrams, and CAD drafting. A major task was a revolving door study for the WFC store, which involved creating a rhino model based on AutoCAD drawings which was then carried into Photoshop. The model was updated as the drawings changed, and was designed with the intention to be inserted into other Rhino models created throughout the design process. Multiple versions of the final rendering were created to show the impact of variations in revolving door style and wall finishes,.

PROJECT TEMPLATE DEVELOPMENT

These ‘project profiles’ serve as quick, singlepage documentation of the firm’s projects. While in-depth documentation of each project is kept, these act as quicker summaries that can be shown with clients or publications. The goal was to develop a template that would standardize marketing materials that was flexible enough to accommodate RKA’s wide range of work with residential, community, worship, and educational projects. More than fifteen years of RKA projects were adapted to the new layout.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE WORTHINGTON, OH

Rogers Krajnak Architects was commissioned to renovate a unique midcentury modern residence in Worthington, Ohio. The home was built in 1967 and is set into a dramatic wooded hillside. The home utilizes its surrounding context by providing generous openings to the wooded site. The open concept and free flowing spaces are reflected throughout the interior design and choice of bold stylish furnishings. RKA completed a master plan for the renovation of the midcentury home, and the renovation was designed for multiple phases. Phase one consisted of an interior renovation of the kitchen and lower level bathroom. On the exterior, a terrrace has been refinished and its shingle cladding was repaired. On the first floor, the new kitchen design connects the existing enclosed kitchen with the main living space beyond. The horizontal elements within the new kitchen relate to the main living space. The small, yet functional kitchen is kept within its existing footprint, respecting the original layout. The bold geometric wall tile pattern and new stainless steel countertop adds a fresh modern touch to the design. The new clear finished oak cabinets brighten up the kitchen while maintaining the simplistic lines and wood species used in the existing home. On the lower level, the bathroom layout has been upgraded with new fixtures, finishes, and lighting. The backlit mirror and new shower accent tile visually bridge and expand this once cramped, dark space.
