COURTNEY L. SOUTHWICK

COURTNEY L. SOUTHWICK Profile Courtney’s experience in the art, architecture, and fashion industries provide her the ability to offer a keen insight into materials, making, fabricating, formal composition, and all-around design decision-making. With three years of real-world work experience in the architecture profession and many more years of work in the art and design industry, Courtney offers the knowledge and professionalism needed to communicate and coordinate with industry leaders. Add to that a Masters education at both the world-renowned School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the AIADO department, and at NewSchool of Architecture and Design in San Diego; Southwick promises knowledge of some of the newest design techniques and materials. Her passion for research and innovation gained her the knowledge of advanced computation-driven software like Grasshopper and the rest of the zoo (i.e., Kangaroo, Karama, Honeybee), 3D printing, and technical aspects with a focus on integrated design technologies.

Her goal is to devise the best solutions for the trickiest problems. Southwick’s love of the ocean and surfing have taught her to “go with the flow” through her design process, while at the same time, “charge those big waves.”

Emergent Flight rests on top of the bluffs overlooking Black’s Beach.

There, hang-glider’s float and glide in the blue skies drifting above a vast sea scape. The design’s vision invites tourists and local visitors from afar to engage in pensive and social reflection. Entry to the buildings begins underground evoking an instant connection with the land (not shown) and evolves into an “emergent” experience arriving at a framed view of the ocean and sky.

The positioning of Emergent Flight utilizes the natural topography of the land, paying close attention to anchor the structure far enough away from the erosion lines of the bluffs. The building is oriented in such a way as to draw walking traffic inward through the buildings, bringing viewers towards a framed view of the sky and ocean.

COASTAL OCEAN GEOLOGY OCEANIC CANYONS, WATER MOVEMENT + TREATMENT

The La Jolla Canyon is significant as the shape of the sea floor influences the formation of the waves that hit the rocky coastline of the torrey pines gliderport site. Taking into account the water treatment, movement, and natural basins of the the area, we can gain a generalized overview of the ecology of water in the surrounding geographic areas.

The Oceanside Littoral Cell is one of a few “cells” that are part of the cycle of erosion. Erosion moves down from the Gliderport Cliff, for example, and the Littoral Cells of the underwater geography will take in this erosion, thus allowing further underwater carving of the seafloor, and an abundance of sea life to create habitats.

OCEAN ECOLOGY

Along with being a highly saught after dive site, La Jolla Canyon and Scripps Canyons, adjacent to the site, are responsible for much of the waves, erosion, and wind conditions at Torrey Pines. It also accommodates a wide array of sea life protected habitat.

SANTA FE HIGH SPEED RAIL The design concept for the San Diego Santa Fe high-speed rail train station bases its design on “emergence” from a tunnel or a grand arrival. With a diagrid structure of flowing and interwoven bamboo and steel, passengers are presented with spectacular views to an indoor/outdoor space, a public park, the ocean bay, and a San Diego historical museum.

EMERGENCE An URBAN EXPLORATORUM TRAIN STATION + PARK for SAN DIEGO PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY GRADE LEVEL The Floor at Ground Level is intended to be treated as soley a place of lookout, social activity, and public engagement with the urban fabric. It creates a space just for people, who can gaze over at arrivals in the High Speed Rail or Trolly below, and lookout at the actvity in the park to the west. They have the option of circulating downstairs to the -20 Lower Level and even further downstairs to the -40 Lowest Level on which they can board any of the trains, or enter the public park.

At the lowerst level, they can attend the bar /restaurant and French Market underground social center or head to the Underground tunnel Museam.

Existing Apartments

The design incorporates three main platforms. The bottom platform designates itself to the history of the train station - the “old” Metra trains arrive at the lower level and offer a display of locomotive history.

Passengers can then enter the public park which descends to the lower level, where they can stop at any of the “underground train station” restaurants and shops. They can choose to visit the tunnel museum at the far south end of the lower floor which explores San Diego’s still existent underground tunnels.

The Neu House bases its concept on an indoor/outdoor living space and Japanese courtyard interior for Carmel Valley’s last remaining plot of land.

The Community Plan incorporates the ability for residents to operate businesses out of their homes and the L-shaped arrangement allows for the exchange of conversation through adjacent plots of land that share community gardens.

The houses have a concrete slab lower level with open spaces between the indoor and outdoor, and wooden light-weight timber-frame construction for the top floors which allow for easy additions when families expand.

The ability to add or adjust space, depending on who comes to live in the community - (maybe a client or work partner is coming in for business), one can stay above the office space in a rentable unit with private entrance. If a family expands, they can easily add on to the upstairs, making room for children. If a single person needs a place to stay, the family can add on an additional studio in and can charge rent.

THE VEIL Tijuana’s urban block is in need of a new uplifting space to invite introspection, the arts, self-reflection, and a revival of a spiritual episcenter. With 96% of the population adherinng to the s of practice of Christianity, “The Veil” Pavillion aims to provide modern retrospction, with a nod to the gothic cathedral. It’s tall linear quality and capability elongate one’s gaze towards Heaven, allowing for pensive quiet reflection, and communal gathering. At night, the space can become activated, and cater to the already existant art gallery, opening for shows, and music.

ENTRANCE TO GALLERY

The Veil is a design for a pensive and thought-provoking Gothic arch pavilion space as an integrative departure from the hodge-podge-like urban fabric of Tijuana. The design’s aim is to elevate the space and create a cultural gathering space. While a nod to the Gothic arches, it incorporates progressive wood building construction integrating almost excessively tall wood beams and wood milling and bending.

The wood acts as a “curtain” or a veil and seems to “hang” like fabric. The bottom and top floors become a gallery with a portion of the top floor spilling onto the roof of the adjacent building. This rooftop allows for museum gala events.

DESIGN PROCESS While similar to a public art installation, the aim of the structure was to be permanent as well as semi-permanent. For example, if it becomes out-of-season, tiresome to the eye, or in need of a new arrangement for city events (such as for concerts like Lollapalooza, and festivals like Jazz Fest), the structure could collapse flat for cover and storage.

The material used for the structure would incorporate some Kevlar textile laminate with tentlike steel ribbing or hollow tubing.

THE DOVE SKYPURIFIER A RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION FOR CHINA’S POLLUTION By: Courtney L. Fromberg + Ryan Conner Grasshopper Winter 2015 NewSchool of Architecture + Design Professor Rajaa Issaa

THE PROBLEM : SMOG /AIR POLLUTION WHERE: SHANGHAI POP: APPROX. 24 MILLION Shanghai is China’s largest city by population. It is the economic and financial center of mainland China. The rapid population growth has created a boom in the Pudong Skyline. The pollution has become overwhelming with the observed problems: • Construction dust in the air and on the streets.

• Exhaust from industrial buildings (Sulfur dioxide, NH3, and nitrogen dioxide) • Smoggy conditions where one cannot see more than 10 feet in front of them • Smells like burning waste (coal, garbage, plant matter) • Cannot see the sky • Streets are filled with dust, soot, and garbage.

• Mostly places of movement rather than an area to occupy for more than a moment except for the people that live or work in the area. (http://rpi-cloudreassembly.transvercity.net/2012/11/05/conditions-of-highly-polluted-areas-in-shanghai/)

The top layer of the canopy consists of triangular ETFE pillows with fritted PVS, a second layer of a diatom growing panel, and a third layer for LED lighting, the collection of diatoms and future implementation of systems. The bamboo interior framework also allows for an attachable hydroponic vertical garden system.
