I believe that real architecture requires grit. Good communication skills and the ability to think critically have the potential to move architecture beyond just problem solving and create spaces that explore and address real conceptual issues.

[ Spring, 2013 Technology Design Studio ] A luminous and thermal design based addition to Rapson Hall
05 | 06
Design Concept This luminous and thermal driven design project sought to introduce the ecological concepts and principles of daylighting, thermal, energy, and systems integration to a 3rd floor addition to the Rapson Hall, Cerny architecture building. By understanding the technological implications of lighting and thermal qualities, the addition strove to acheive a NetZero performance level by using passive and active design strategies. This project depended on the understanding of climactic issues by applying them to intitial design concept that addressed luminous qualities and thermal qualities within a defined footprint.

The east facade’s goal was to celebrate morning sun while still having it remaining vibrant during the day time. Solar chimney’s penetrate the classroom space to allow sun to be caught during the afternoon hours.
The north building addition featured the research and CSBR programs. The program and concept of muted and captured light influenced the design of the roof. Flat skylights were place strategically within a green roof to provide elegant captured light in parallel to the floor plan and internal walls.
The west outdoor courtyard features a much need gesture back towards the U of M campus. By reducing the footprint on the west side, the “roof” becomes an opportunity to bring light into the second floor studios while allowing views back towards the David M. Lilly Plaza and Northrop Mall.
Facing the labs south allowed as much light into the space as possible. The rooaf condition initially breaks light with an opaque glass roof and filters it through vertical cascades into the Labs.
Steven Holl Concept The 2002 Steven Holl addition to the Rapson Hall College of design focused on asymmetrical angular forms and spaces contrast with the rectilinear modernist sensibility of the original building. Each angluar form reflects the four seasons seen here in Minnesota.

Iterative Daylighting Illumenence Comparison : Detail After the program and user needs were determined for each space, the design of the project proceeded by detailing each room through physical models, iterative daylighting photographs as welll as thermal energy modeling.
5th Facade Reflecting light into the south labs was done with a dove-tailed interior light shade that diffuses hot summer light while still allowing the labs to be bright.
Louvre Several iterations of louvres were studied including spacing, thickness and angle .
Solar Chimney Located on the east side of the building, classrooms are seperated by small solar chimneys that allow light into lower studio spaces on the second floor. As shown below, a detailed understanding of louvers and green roofs helped acomplish many of the luminous and thermal daylight qualities.

Through iterative studies in IES, this project helped to understand such conditions as glare, seasonal thermal performance and daylighting qualities. The south labs were looked at specifically due to their south facing facades.
11 | 12
South Facade The south facade addressed the key issues of luminous and thermal in two distinct ways. Because daylighting was a primary goal for this space, several iterations we run on how to control light into the space from the south yet still provide views to the south. However, the tradeoff with this approach was in its thermal output, therefore, considerations into how to reduce thermal gains in the summer (while retaining thermal gains in the witner where studied.)
East Facade The east facade’s largest goal was to celebrate morning sun while not having it overpower the daylight qualities provided by other facades.
Roof The roof condition became the most important facade for the lab space due to our daylighting qualities. In each study, the goal was to achieve diffuse light at all times of the day.
Material The interior matieral for the labs needed to enhance the diffuse qualities brought in by the roof, south and east facades. Studies were run on each interior wall manipulating texture, reflectivity and color.

Why this place? Located in the Cedar Riverside Neighborhood on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota Campus, this project strove to propose a specific supper club program into a dense ethnically charged site, while still respecting the existing site conditions. The building pays close attention to the storefront faรงade and acts to create public and private space along the sidewalk to encourage onlookers to experience materials, structure, space and light.

Initial Site Analysis Within the site perimeter of Cedar Riverside, site analysis began to explore the quantitative and qualitative values of light within a varying distance by photographing light every 5ft along a heavily trafficked sidewalk. Because a large portion of this neighborhood is comprised of run down or abandoned buildings, the observation of organized light begins to suggest activity, habitation and urban density.
Concept Model *Varying vertical surfaces create lighting conditions relating back to site analysis

Function of Form: Responding to a Public Site Located on along a abandoned street front, this project attempted to connect two programatically charged buildings at either side of the site. To the north, a restored fire station currently houses the ‘Mixed Blood Theatre;’ a hot spot for the artistic community. Towards the south, an old ‘tied house’ laid abandoned. By stretching a large majority of the site, the hope was to create a comprehensive locale.
Light as Envelope : Engaging Precision Building upon concept and iterative models, the isolation of the facade as a system lent its left to further testing and variation. Thinking about aspects that were quantifiable and/or repetitive, an idea of using the facade to integrate the diverse community into the site began to unfold. Starting with simple geometry (lines and points) and working rigorously to maintain geometric or numerical relationships between elements, the program of the building began to feather away creating variable densities of public and private space. While varying opacity, distance and value, each iteration attempted to respect the neighborhoods eclectic vocabulary and provide a sequence of experiences throughout the differing degrees of program.
Light creating: private (supper club) public (brewery) The openings and passageways through the building play off our general assumptions of private and public space. By providing cover, semi-covered and enclosed spaces, the public is encouraged to engage in each program differently.

A series of sequences Striving to meld a diverse, low income neighborhood into a high end dinner program, this project worked to blur the boundaries of public and private space. Combining a revitalized Brewery with a supper club venue, three main passageways dissect the long, narrow building in hopes to respect the public in a frequently traveled thoroughfare while still providing an elegant dinning experience. A central hallway continuously runs the course of this building, providing varying dimensions of light and space.

Understanding the details The final design of the project features a wall section that attempts to address both conditions: Where the wall meets the ground Where the wall meets the roof The system is designed to hide the mullions in both roof and floor sections of the window. The hollow core 8� steel frame is placed 12’on center and placed behind vertical mullions. An in floor heating system is designed to prevent condensation on the interior glass surface. A stainless steel gutter runs the length of the building to catch water runoff from the glass. Small weep holes are cut into the vertical support flange in the gutter to allow water to transfer through.
Meeting the roof The design for the roof condition was to allow the mullion to disappear into the roof. Wood blocking surrounds the mullion and a s.s. plate butts up again the glass on either side of the 1/2” glass. Exposed s.s. girders run the length of the building. They are coated in fireproofing paint on the ceiling. Roof Membrane Rigid Insulation Decking
Stainless steel 8” hollow core column 1/2” Glazing Ventilated metal screen Heater / Ventilation system Radiant pipes (heating and/or cooling)
Meeting the ground The exterior rain gutter collects rain from the mullion weep holes as well as the rain screen directly above. The gutter is sloped at a 15 degree angle away from the building to all standing water to pool away from the flashing.
