Storm King Art Center Artist In Residence Student : Cory Fernandez Instructor: Julio Figueroa

Wood My design concept for the artist in residence at the Storm King Art Center began with lookin at two things. One, the building material that would be used for the design, wood, and also the context of the surrounding site. Wood provides a connection with the surrounding nature and I wanted my structure to celebrate wood as a material. What I found most interesting about wood is that it grows from the core out, in layers. With this idea I began to form a concept that could be used as an architectural concept that my stucture like wood can also grow from the core out.

Sculptures When Looking at the stucture at Storm King art center I most appreciated the ones that fit the best contextually with the park. These were Andy Goldsworthy’s “Storm King Wall,” Maya Lin’s “Wave Field” and Richard Serra’s Shunnemunk Fork. I found that what related these sculptures most to the landscape was that they emerged from the lanscape at an angle rather than jutting straight out or being placed on top. This concept coincided with my interset in the way a tree grow in that it was as if the sculpture grew from the ground.

Circulation The circulaion is divided into two essential paths. A private path and a public path. The public path is meant to bring people through each density of the building, building up an anxiety and a desire to reach the core of the building. Throughout the path to the core of the building views to the central sculpture garden are there but are disturbed by the structure of the building or the trees in the sculpture garden. A feeling of relief should be present when one reaches the core of the structure. The private path is very direct and allow the artist to reach sculpture garden and studio from the residence.

Public vs Private Public Private The public and private sectors of the buliding are mainly seperated by the axis of symmetry of the grid system with the public side being closest to the public road and the private side being closest to the private road. This idea of seperating the public and private sectors helped with choosin a site location for the building, being placed where thw public and private roads are most closely pinched together

Elements The compents that compose the structure are - 4”x12” Gluelam engineered lumber for vertical support -2”x12” wood dimensional framing - curtain wall assembly -cmu foundation walls -plywood floor decking and roof sheathing - aluminum rolled roofing -2”x4” wood batons as facade louvers

Component Design & Aggregation

Solid Geometry In this phase I picked a known solid geometry ,the tetrahedron. By understanding the configuration and angles of the shape I was able to build a Grasshopper definition based on points, lines, and planes.

Geometry Alteration In this phase tried to understand how the tetrahedron attached to itself.

Realizing the tetrahedron has a very limited face to face connection I altered the shape by truncating the points. This created three new faces making the unit have seven faces instead of four. This allowed for more aggregation oppurtunities

Aggregations This comparison shows how the original tetrahedron tends to aggregate vs the new irregular tetrahedronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to aggregate.

Fabrication Idea 3 This new component uses a series of different joints. Two different pieces a common piece and a locking piece are used to form the component. The unit will rely on friction and the plasticity of the plywood to hold together. Plan

Component Design & Aggregation New Component Fabrication Process

This diagram shows how the unit is to be assembled. First two common pieces are fitted together. Then the third must slide into the one and rotate into the other slot. Here the material will be deformed slightly but its resistance to deformation will create the friction needed to hold the parts together.

Step 2

Lastly the three unit are locked together by the locking piece.

The unit will be able to receive other components from 4 different faces. Notches are used to create friction to hold the units together. One uni is composed of two face types. One where all three common pieces meet. And the other where two common and one locking piece meet.

In the second batch micro adjustments were made to allow for tolerances and increase the modules strength and usability .

Component Design & Aggregation New Component Aggregation

With smaller scale interaction with aggregation is intimate. The aggregation creates form but is subject to the shape it fills. It is not experienced from within but is experienced through its texture and feel.

The aggragation here is not creating space to interact in but is part of another space. It is bounded by the walls and ceiling of a museum and limits itself for paths. Here it is an object to perceive to move around not within.

This scale is appropriate for human interaction. It forms itself but its shape is subject to its surroundings It creates a canopy over space in which a filtered light passes. Interaction and mood changes with the time of day and amount of sun penetrating the canopy. In a park like setting the aggregation seems to lead you from one place to another making a physical and symbolic link through alternate places throughout the park .

Aggregation in limitless space. The form created is natural and unabiding. It does not conform to any space. At this scale it also seems to make a viable link between the earth and moon. Now it creates spaces and links spaces as well.
