CENTENNIAL CHROMAGRAPH RAPSON HALL INSTALLATION - 2013 with: VARIABLE PROJECTS AIA Minnesota Honor Award Winner, 2013 7.
INFORMATION SPATIALIZATION 6.
Centennial Chromagraph is a life-size representation of the history of the University of Minnesota School of Architecture. The project is an exercise in data spatialization: using computational design tools to generate formal and spatial constructions with large quantities of data—in this case, information sampled from the School’s 100-year history. The project is both a sculptural installation, constructed within the central courtyard of Ralph Rapson Hall as a centerpiece for this year’s Centennial celebrations, and an applied research project exploring the possibilities of data-driven design. It embraces an aesthetic tension between didactic representation and atmospheric experience, both conveying information and producing abstract effects of light and color. In this regard, Centennial Chromagraph resists either quantitative or qualitative readings, instead oscillating 1. RIB PART 1 between the two. 2. RIB PART 2 3. LAP JOINT

FORM AND DATA The design process began with a mapping analysis of the School’s alumni archives. Computational design software was employed to visualize this data, in relation to class sizes, degree types, and geographic locations of the School’s graduates through time. The data mapping yielded two primary design strategies: spatial and chromatic. First, the installation’s curved form is derived from broad ranges from the school’s history: the tenures of its leadership, the buildings it has occupied, and the colleges it has belonged to. This information, chronologically mapped and diagrammatically abstracted through superimposed curves, drives the installation’s overall form. Second, a more granular data set of degrees granted by the School drives the distribution of color throughout the installation. The chromatic logic allows one to read the evolution of the School’s degree programs through time.

GRADUATE DESIGN III - 2012 GATEWAY EXPANSION
As the University of Minnesota expands into the residential districts of Stadium Village, the urban conditions, and use of space will undergo massive transformations. It is essential that these transformations be sustainable, and that they prioritize sustainable use. SE FULTON STREET
Currently at the intersection of Essex and Huron, the entry-way to campus seems to be disregarded. The bustle from I-94 permeates into the residential zone, and the place itself has little if any identifying features. By siting the Center for Healing and Wellness on this intersection, the newly developed gateway can promote green public space as well as reflect sustainable attitudes of the future for the university – to live simply, healthily, and sustainably.

DAYLIGHT ANALYSIS
The daylight analysis reflect the intent of dynamic conditions between the three zones. However, it also indicates a finer grain of specificity in how orientation at a micro scale creates unique instances of more intense light around the periphery of the circulation and gathering zones. The envelope responds to this allowing higher levels of daylight in open public spaces, and reduces it in less public spaces like the pharmacy and the cafe prep room.

ROOM STUDY OPTIMIZATION 6
The meditation room allows for ideal solar and thermal conditions to aid in the harsh seasonal climate. In the summer, the louvers block most of the sun, the shades diffuse any light, and the air is cooled from above. In the winter the direct sun is welcome, warming the thermal mass floor aided by radiant tubes. The graph represents the moments throughout the year where glare would be experienced as in the perspective. When occupants can connect with nature and the sun in a calm, focused state of meditation.outdoor program placement, which gives a strong sense of orientation for the occupants.

RIVERSIDE LEARNING RESTAURANT GRADUATE DESIGN I - 2011 GATEWAY EXPANSION
An iterative conceptual modelling process was employed to investigate how architecture can respond to existing site conditions. The glazed wall is canted to face the river, and the dining room reaches toward the trees. The program include studio gardens and kitchens for the leaning center, a dining room (80 seats), and a staff kitchen. The experience of the restaurant connects people to the land that produces their food, and to the river as the building seemingly dissolves into the site.

PAVILION LIFE + AFTERLIFE By using William McDonough’s concepts in Cradle to Cradle on a seasonal pavilion, the first task was to ask: what is the pavilion’s afterlife?
section
Copenhagen has a rich culture of using public squares year-round. We began designing the summer pavilion with the intent that we could leave a permanent impression on multiple public spaces throughout Copenhagen after the summer pavilion’s life. The idea to deconstruct the pavilion into urban benches was made possible by the modular nature of the design. The dimension were based on human proportions for sitting, leaning, and viewing exhibits. Therefore, the transformation retained the usability and created a dialogue between the two forms

ART + MEMORY The pavilion serves as a gallery of local art exhibits. The light boxes display the art and act as a beacon to attract visitors to Højbro Plads. The Cradle to Cradle Pavilion aims to revitalize the public space with life and energy both day and night. The pavilion’s lifespan is short but it’s reborn form of urban benches would leave a permanent impression and reminder of the importance of public urban space in Copenhagen. What was once a temporal experience in now embedded in memory and ignited by the experience of the bench.

SUSTAINABLE ADDITION The Zero Energy Lab is the new home for the Center for Sustainable Building Research. The third floor of Rapson becomes an expression of thermal and luminous design. Optimization and passive strategies inform the design -creating spaces that are functional, enjoyable, and efficient. Form and circulation relates to the rigid symmetry of the original building, but responds to the asymmetrical Steven Holl addition with outdoor program placement, which gives a strong sense of orientation for the occupants. The program includes labs, offices, studio classrooms, and outdoor courtyards. The outdoor courtyards provide views and make each corridor in a symmetrical building unique.

NESTED SCALES CATALYST - 2012 WITH BEN NEWBY, MIKE STEPHENS AND HEATHER BRIERLEY
DIGITAL PROVOCATIONS In a week long intensive studio, Architecture as Catalyst, we investigated biological geometries derived from porous plants and digitally developed them to create the form of a screen wall installation. The design is informed by expressing the tooling of the cnc. The wall represents a pattern manifested at three scales: the surface, the module, and the system. A single hexagonal module, when tesselated, creates a seemingly random pattern. The hexagonal shape can be linked in any combination. The cnc router allowed for an opportunity to experiment with surface patterns generated by parametric tool paths.
33
34
35
CNC EXPRESSIONS Computational design is explored through patterns of machining. Unforeseen results are discovered through experimentations of linking parametric patterns to CNC toolpathing. The nested scales result from the articulation of these effects on the pattern of the module and the pattern of the surface.

RIPARIAN WETLAND COMMUNITY CENTER GD II STUDIO - 2012 Design Democracy Award, 2013 INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATIONS The Riparian Wetland Center embodies the transformation of the Mississippi River Bank from an industrial brownfield into a reclaimed natural system. As the Mississippi River Wetlands are reclaimed, the Riparian Wetland Center emerges as the remaining industrial ruin –a utilitarian box –discovered beyond the threshold of city and nature. The box is lifted off the newly created wetland inlet. Water flows around and underneath the building, and the site is connected to the building through the bridges that extend beyond the enclosure and transform into walkways leading to the wetlands. Once the site is transformed into a natural ecology, the intervention of the building expresses how industrial architecture can be transformed to suit the needs of people to experience wetlands, and how the building can coexist with nature and the river.
37
1st FLOOR PLAN
2nd FLOOR PLAN Site Plan
STRUCTURE AND PROGRAM The box evolves with patterns of use on two realms: the utilitarian spaces house the ‘fixed’ program. Where use is maintained over time and flexibility is provided to respond to long term evolution. The box’s program is organized around a central atrium. It becomes the funnel for people from city to river. It is shaped by specific structure – providing for rapidly changing patterns of use to transform its space. The atrium is the building’s river, with tributaries to bring people from interior program to the site.
3rd FLOOR PLAN
38
PARTI AND PROGRAM The connection between city and river is realized through the atrium. Its centrality and openness invites flexible public program. The utilitarian spaces are organized around it. They are not organized based on public and private use, but rather by their desire to be connected to specific areas of the site and adjacent spaces. The system of bridges and walkways in turn simultaneously support the circulation and the separation between public and private.

GENERIC + SPECIFIC The architectural systems are integrated, creating conditions between static and dynamic use, where the structural systems and the envelope fuse together. The articulation of structural forms generates a new perception of industry and river. Here, the tectonic imprint of man is fused together with nature in the same ways it fuses the program together.
NORTH/SOUTH SECTION

GENERIC + SPECIFIC Some nights, the specific spaces evolve to allow for social public gatherings. The building’s skin is expressed both on the interior and exterior. Comprised of a variable aluminum panel system, the skin is envisioned as a wrapper. The perforations glow as a beacon from the exterior and activate the utilitarian spaces. Materials and forms of industries of the past are harmonized and reintroduced to each other in the skin as it becomes the activating feature of the building.
