MILLER HULL PARTNERSHIP | 2017-2020 PROJECT DESIGNER
Santa Monica City Yards | CA
Santa Monica City Yards is a redevelopment of the 14.7-acre facility owned and operated by the City of Santa Monica. The site facilities have acted as a hub for the city’s public works employees to launch infrastructure maintenance crews and operations since the mid 1950’s.
COREY COLLIER | PORTFOLIO
The design concept provides transparency and open space along Michigan Avenue allowing workers at City Yards to become a part of the existing arts district neighborhood.
Model developed by M|H team members. Initial rendering by Jarrad Barrios
As a team member I was responsible for the development of the (4) Facilities buildings along Michigan Ave. I was responsible for producing construction documents from SD-CD in which I interacted with the project team daily for site related coordination and met weekly with structural, MEP engineers, and various other consultants on a weekly basis. I worked closely with team members and the design lead on preparing project presentations for critical design milestones.

BOB HULL RESEARCH GRANT | 2018 AWARD RECIPIENT | Partnered with Glen Stellmacher
COREY COLLIER | PORTFOLIO
Awarded the first annual Bob Hull Research Grant, where a colleague and I explored the potential of new methods and analytical tools to understand the inherent potentials of the tree, specifically looking at forestry by-products that traditionally have had low or no economic value. The goal is a smarter and integral approach between forestry and design that results in a reduced demand on forest resources and suggests an innovative and inspiring method for designing architectural space.
The forest is a factory. We are designing this factory.
Scanning is extending our capacity of human memory.
Our specific management decisions have large implications on the ecological success of the landscape as its visual makeup. Decisions to clear cut or maintain continuous forest cover produce fundamentally different visual and ecological outcomes. The management decisions are largely driven by economics. In the provisioning of architects with materials for buildings, our forest managers are often prescribed an industrialized culling of the landscape.
Scanning allows us to digitize the physical environment and apply digital analytical tools to interpret that environment for our use. Not all trees grow straight. 3D scanning might allow us to catalog variations in geometries and capitalize on their unique anatomical characteristics rather than regularizing them through industrial standardization.
However, if we as designers changed or requested different products from the forest landscape, we could act as agents to assist in the management of that landscape in a more ecologically sensitive manner.
As more and more forest managers are integrating LiDAR scanning into their own informational databases, designers may wish to integrate this form of media into the design process as well. The knowledge and information exists, its up to us to capitalize on its potentials.
Robotics extend the mind, hand, and making relationships.
Architecture is the medium to manifest integration.
As Marshall McLuhan noted in 1967, “electric circuitry is the extension of the central nervous system.� As Moore’s Law has remained unbroken since 1965, the shear power of our computational systems is vast. Can we use our computational brain to think harder about how we use our natural resources?
The interaction of computer processor with appendage and tool provide us with a framework to re-imagine making. What does making look like now that we have divorced our own human hand and kinetics from the process? Does this system provide fundamentally new opportunities? Can robotics catalyze the thinking and knowledge embodied in 3D scanning and computation?
In addressing our fundamental needs of shelter and through the process of consuming resources to produce this shelter, architecture is the catalyst and agency to re-imagine how we process and design with our natural resources. Architectural design can engender more sustainable forest practices by choosing the products and processes we use in converting resources to architectural products. Conversely, architects can specify forest products without any regard to their methods of sourcing or processing. These differing methods leave their record in varying impacts on the landscape and ecology.
Scripting allows us to recall, interrogate, and inspect elements, reorganize them based on a set of criteria into architectural form. This reorganization may privilege the unique geometry of forest resources, rather than cutting and slabbing elements into regularized wood commodities.
CNC manufacturing forms the end of the line of this knowledge and thinking process, allowing us to act on our assumptions, and produce physical objects from raw resources. Can we use robotics to act surgically and minimize the amount of energy consumed in processing resources. Programming and directing these tools has become seamless with software we interface with on a daily basis.
Architecture is a medium of materials and construction. These materials have come from a place and through a process have been converted to architecture.

END-EFFECTOR End-effectors can be designed to perform a physical material manipulation, or to gather data, for example by probing, scanning, or measuring. The endeffector is the tool by which the respective material process is defined.
COREY COLLIER | PORTFOLIO
DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT (CODE) The industrial robots principal advantage over traditional automation is its programmability, which refers not only to the physical outcome of an object, as is the case with 3D printers, but rather the digital control of its movements and actions.
One cannot investigate the infinite possibilities of the mechanical arm without also considering materiality, the end-effector and code for operation. Just as one cannot attempt coding the robot without first considering the material to be explored. This symbiotic relationship allows us to explore opportunities to create new aesthetic languages for our built environment.

RESEARCH PROJECT #1 Transduction
The case study titled “Transduction” was intended to gain a better understanding of the direct relationship between programming code and the robots movement through representation. Sampling a raster image for its gray-scale color value was the method used for choreographing the robot’s movement. A series of points were given a numeric value between 0 and 1 based on the gray-scale of an image.
COREY COLLIER | PORTFOLIO
Through sampling techniques within a CAD environment, this research study introduces the notion of path-based processes rather than object-based. This technique of sampling an image can be applied similarly to analytical studies such as solar, light, sound, or structural optimization to determine a path.
RESEARCH PROJECT #2 Fluidity
The case study titled, ‘Fluidity’ attempts to explore materiality through exploiting the human-like motion of the robotic arm. A series of curves were created to push the extents of the robot’s flexibility and range of motion. A unique feature of this fabrication process is that these pieces were created without the robotic arm physically touching the object or work surface, unlike the previous study where a negotiation took place to precisely align the marker and the paper to realize the image. The robot’s path was accurate and precise each time, the material, however, created subtle variations between each interaction. This lends itself to more of a handmade process than a machine one. The variability of material begins to distort or confuse the sign of the original archetype and, as a result, conceal the identity of the author, or make it irrelevant (Carpo, 2011)..

Robot fabrication process, ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion, University of Stuttgart
COREY COLLIER | PORTFOLIO
The ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion at the University of Stuttgart is an example where real-time feedback was used similarly to that of a craft process. A pneumatic form work is inflated on site. A carbon fiber filament is placed on the bubble from the interior based on a pattern determined by a structural simulation. The form-work fluctuates during fiber placement, thus the position of the robot end-effector and contact force is constantly adjusted and guided via a sensor system, redirecting each path thus creating an adaptable fabrication process.

CASE STUDY #2 Remote Material Deposition | Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zürich ETH
3D process scan. Image by LUKA PIšKOREC | ETH
Remote Material Deposition explores the idea of robotically positioning material in space from a distance and thereby creating differentiated architectural aggregations that are a direct expression of a dynamic and adaptive fabrication process. As such, the elective course focused on the bi-directional link between digital and material processes, data and construction, and its integration within the architectural design. Featuring an industrial robot that aggregates material over distance and therefore exceeds its predefined workspace, this installation brings not only forward a novel scale of digital fabrication in architecture – it also takes a first step in characterizing a novel approach in digital fabrication, taking architecture beyond the creation of static forms to the design of dynamic material aggregation processes.

GLISSANDO BESPOKE BICYCLE | 2012 DESIGNER | SELF-EMPLOYED
Inspired by the craftsmanship and design of iconic furniture, I saw an opportunity to create a bicycle based on these design principals, bringing a new experience to a design savvy consumer market. Glissando, a musical term describing a continuous slide upward or downward between two notes, was chosen as the name because it describes the soft, elegant curve of the frame design, and also acts as a metaphor for the graceful transition between materials. Bamboo has been tested to have the tensile strength of steel by weight, yet the vibration dampening properties carbon fiber, and is an environmentally sustainable material. Bamboo is pared with titanium which gives strength at the connections, as well as provides a stark contrast to the eloquent and meticulously crafted bamboo. I designed each element of the frame, from parts requiring CNC machining to the hand-crafted connections between titanium and bamboo; all of which were crafted and assembly by local artisans and myself. The Glissando was the recipient of a prestigious award from the North American Handmade Bicycle Show - Best Alternative Materials Bicycle - February 2013

Commissioned by an active Canadian family residing in Durango, Colorado, I worked closely with the owners, engineers, and contractors from inception of the preliminary sketches through the construction documents, as project designer. Inspired by the timber mountain lodges of the Canadian Rockies, this home takes advantage of views and local materials, while delicately blending into the surroundings.

I did not impose a set framework to the development of a design; rather, I allowed spatial experience, surround culture, and the creative process by way of an integrated design theory to inform the project, bringing to the surface the inherent characteristics of the individual venture.
