Treaty Oak by Clemson School of Architecture

TRE ATY OAK Comprehensive Studio Clemson University School of Architecture Spring 2013

Nicholas Adam Barrett + Joseph Matthew Martin Professors: Ulrike Heine, Dustin Albright, Ufuk Ersoy

Preface: The ‘Comprehensive Studio’ is the final test in the Master of Architecture program at the Clemson University School of Architecture. It is everything that its title implies. From January to May of 2013, we have developed this project, “Treaty Oak”, as our last project in academia. Under the leadership of Professors Ulrike Heine, Dustin Albright, and Ufuk Ersoy, this is our process.

Upon looking at the economic ruin of the post-Civil War South, Thomas Green Clemson remarked, “this country is in wretched condition, no money and nothing to sell. Everyone is ruined, and those that can are leaving.” When he died he gave land and assets for the establishment of an educational institution that would teach scientific agriculture and the mechanical arts to South Carolina’s young people.

Dr. George H. Aull, a Clemson Agricultural Ecologist, was inspired by Roosevelt’s “New Deal” to restore the barren lands of his home. The Clemson College Conversation Project purchased nearly 30,000 acres of wasteland in order to conserve the land and provide recreation facilities for the community.

What we eat, and how we make it is becoming increasingly important to the health of our environment and our bodies. Developing sustainable practices in food production is essential to ensuring our future.

Over half of the land in the Nation’s lower 48 States is currently being used for agriculture.

Outdoor recreation is growing in popularity among Clemson students. Maintaining these recreational locations is an important part of the university’s stewardship of the natural environment.

President Barker has made it a goal of the University to be carbon neutral by 2030. This will require Clemson to become a leader in sustainability. a practice that seeks to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

With as big a site as we have, the tower could sit anywhere, but looking at it located by the road, at the main intersection of our site shows us just how big our site is, and how a larger footprint may better utilize the site.

Here we see that Kanchanjunga Tower presents a dominating scale and proportion over its context.

Tillman Hall 126’

Scale Reference:

Compared to other structures on campus, Kanchanjunga Tower is two times taller. Something of this size is probably not appropriate for Clemson.

Byrnes Hall 120’

Individual Units:

The tower broken down into each of its 32 individual units. The scale of each of these alone is still a bit large, averaging 3,000-4,000 SF. We think we can get at least 3-4 units into one of the Kanchanjunga units.

The Meadow: Site Potential

The open space provides opportunities for open recreation and gathering. The open field will inevitably be hot as hell in the summer, so we need to be careful how we program these spaces.

The Forest: Site Potential

More intimate activities, more sense of enclosure. Summer activities will enjoy the shaded micro-climate.

We intend to let the housing occupy the ecotone between the field and the forest. In doing so, the building itself will become the ecotone, which in turn requires a great deal of exploration into the methods through which the building translates the differences between the two zones.

By occupying this ecotone, a set of climactic advantages arise. The first of which is that within this zone, the housing development will be well protected by the strong summer sun by the dense forest canopy. Conversely in the winter, the leaves will part from the trees and allow the sun to enter into the units.

-10°F

Temperatures in the shade are generally 10 degrees cooler. And since the lake is just a bit farther south in this photo, evaporative cooling off the water may cool this zone even further. Tapping into this opportunity will be key.

Masterplan: Housing Division (drainage)

Not wanting to occupy the ecotone with a continuous, opaque wall, the drainage of the site provides a natural division in the housing mass.

Masterplan: Building Massing

Expanding the depth of the mass at critical locations provides more defined space in the meadow to the north, but also funnels circulation through the site, as well as providing more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;public spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the joints.

Masterplan: Parking

Following the contours of the site, there are two zones: A: Mainly resident parking, one-way traffic, Handicap Parking to east (closer to handicap units) - 100 + 5 B: Split parking between visitor and resident parking. - 220 + 10 Totals: 320 standard, 15 handicap

The Unit Features: Southern Facade

Tall ceilings and complete glazing help the units allow the sun to enter through the trees in the winter (with filtered access in the summer through the leaves).

Building Section:

As the different units are aligned vertically, the changing depth due to the unit size is what begins to define the facades. A relatively uniform southern facade meets the forest while a more dimensional-somewhat pixelated facade meets the meadow.

Unit Section: Ventilation

Keeping the building single-loaded, each unit is able to open to both the south and north, maintaining the ability to cross ventilate and bring some of the cooler, fresher air from the forest into the unit.

Building Section:

Unit Section: Ventilation

Building Section: Sun exposure

Exposure on the south facade allows for light to penetrate into each unit. The forest naturally shades the units in the summer, while allowing for passive heating in the winter. Keeping the southern facade more regular helps make sure that the sun is able to penetrate each unit equally.

North Elevation: Circulation + Community Spaces

All circulation for the building happens on the north facade. The stairs and corridors are open-air, reducing the needs for climate control. Within each floor of the building one unit is removed, resulting in an open community space for each floor of the building. This can be a space for community gatherings or birthdays parties , etc.

The units were designed to be efficient and economical. They are intentionally smaller than the Clemson standard, helping to encourage users to use the outdoor amenities and live healthier lifestyles.

Three Distinct Zones: Ecotone

In our initial site analysis we identified the importance of the three zones: the meadow, the forest, and the lake. The most interesting parts of the site are where those zones meet, the ecotones. These transition zones between adjacent ecological communities became the places where the buildings took their shape.

Site Plan: Site details

The forest edge is home to the residential developments, but additional programs were integrated within those buildings. A climbing wall clads the eastern face of one building, a community bike garage is housed in the first floor of another building, and a beach shelter at the edge of Lake Hartwell offers kayak rentals. The meadow to the north is penetrated by integrated pedestrian paths that connect the parking to the buildings. Additional parking to the southeast has space for residents as well as guests and other non-residents who may be visiting the recreation amenities.

Ecotone Benefits: Passive Systems

By building the housing where the meadow meets the forest, the units all have access to the shade of the trees in the summer, and cooler forest air.

Unit Features: Bedroom Wall, Southern Facade

Similar to the south facade mechanism, this bedroom wall folds up into an overhead position. This allows the space to serve more functions. When opened, the room becomes an extension of the main living space. Individual panes are operable for controlled ventilation, but the entire south facade of each unit can open completely to the forest, allowing the living space to extend out into the woods. The wall folds up with a hinge in the center, creating an overhead threshold when in the open position..

Cross Laminated Timber: CLT

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an advanced product, developed in Switzerland in the early 1990s, designed for increased dimensional stability and strength in framing systems. CLT is made of multiple layers of wood, with each layer oriented crosswise to the next. Used for long spans in floors, walls or roofs, CLT can be prefinished, which reduces labor on site, and is equally suited to new construction and additions to existing buildings.
