Concept Design

The Crockett Gallery

of Contemporary sculpture

During the initial design phase it was decided upon that the structure to be placed on the site of the existing sculpture garden would act as an addition to the sculpture garden. This new structure would be a gallery for smaller sculptural works that would not be able to be placed outside, but instead would need a controlled indoor environment. The Crockett Gallery would become a sculptural work in its own right, by building upon the perceived rules of solid vs. void, and line vs. plane that the designer had created for the existing sculpture garden the Gallery would look and feel as if it had always been a part of the garden.

Objectives: The S.A. Exchange Tower was developed through a preservation studio as an upward expansion from the existing Joske Building in downtown San Antonio, TX. The S.A. Exchange tower was developed so that the shadow cast during the winter solstice would miss the Alamo while still achieving the maximum height possible, and still stay below the observation deck of the Tower of the Americas. At 40 stories the shadow path avoids the Alamo due to the creation of a steep slope in the building’s north facade.

The Land Heritage Institute is a non-profit organization south of San Antonio Texas who’s mission is to inform and educate about the history of land use in Texas. The Land Heritage Institute required the development of a visitor center that would act as a reception area for visitors, as well as an area which small groups would be able to use as a meeting space. The programing of this facility required the inclusion of a prep-kitchen, an office for a park employee, restroom facilities, meeting/gathering spaces, and storage.

Development: Because this building was to be used as a visitor center for an institution that taught about how people in the past lived on the land in Texas, and the request of the organization to keep the building light on the land the traditional styling of the “dog trot” was selected. The “dog trot” styling allowed for the creation of a six bay structure, where every other bay would act as a breeze way between the functional elements of the structure just as a “dog trot” would.

Objectives: Create a design development set that was technically accurate, and properly articulated the construction of the designed building.

Develop a building that would meet the needs of the Land Heritage Institute: - To be Volunteer Constructed - Light on the land - Meeting Space, Restrooms, Kitchen, and Storage - Re-develop entry into the site 12

Green Print

Greenprint is a 970 square foot, one bedroom, one bath home designed as a possible candidate for The University of Texas at San Antonio’s entry into the Solar Decathlon. A competition in which teams from universities all over the country design, build, and test that their designs are “net zero.� The central dining space opens up to two shaded porches and is intended to be a multi-use indoor/outdoor room. The open kitchen plan, featuring Energy Star appliances, opens up to the entertainment room allowing expansion for larger parties, such as the home entertainment competition.

One of the primary designs parameters for this project was for “everyone� (meaning an average person anywhere in the world) to be able to build, expand, or design their own home in such a way that they can do it them selves or with very little help. To do this the idea of using a CNC router to cut the structure of Green Print from plywood was explored. This idea is still based heavily in theory and to explore the ability of building in this was took an evolutionary path, as well as the mock-up of several physical models. The design of the structure we came up with for Green Print can change or evolve, and is intended to do so depending on the whim, location, monetary resources, or life style of the owner.

Passive Design Systems - Plan

The layout and massing of Greenprint (shown in Figures 8-11) are optimized to take advantage of prevailing breezes in both San Antonio and Irvine.

An H-shaped plan allows for easy passage of breezes through each room of the house for good cross ventilation, with more windows located on the inlet side and fewer, smaller windows on the outlet side to encourage airflow. High vaulted ceilings and operable skylights on the north-facing roof surfaces serve as outlets to encourage stack ventilation as well. Concerning daylighting and shading, the main living areas, bedroom and bathroom will receive natural light from multiple directions. Awnings and trellises will protect south, east and west facing areas of glazing. On the south side, awnings will block all direct summer sun as well as some winter sun – excessive solar heat gain being an issue in San Antonio even in the wintertime.

Integral Water Storage: The storage tanks under the home allow for added insulating properties when filled. They are also design to expand and contract as a bladder would when water is filling or draining from the system.

Cleveland S.R.O. Housing

Single Room Occupancy (S.R.O.) Objectives: Create a facility for homeless and low income individuals, that consists of twenty single room apartments, a building manager’s apartment, offices, 3 common rooms, building utilities, attached market, and no more than three levels in height.

Site: The site is a corner lot in downtown Cleveland, OH. It is divided into two sections because of a small access road for an elementary school in the rear of the site. The road had to be maintained and the building had to be designed around it without disrupting any possible traffic.

Create a functional “gateway” to Kent, Ohio. The site is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of state routes 43 and 59. The “gateway” should reflect the town of Kent, Kent State University, a connection between the two and maintain its visibility all year round. Materials utilized should reflect the university and city’s commitment to sustainability.

Mixed use high-rise book store, coffee shop, and storage spaces on the first level, with unified dwelling units (single (1 bedroom) & family (3 bedrooms) all of which are two floors in height) above the commercial space.

Behavioral Dwellings

Design/Program:

Objectives: 1 - Design two life cycle dwelling units based on behavioral settings required.

2 - Create qualitative/quantitative spatial experiences applicable to the required behavioral settings and reinforce individual components as integral elements of a single collective whole internally and externally.

The designer is to gain understanding of the creative processes of sculpture and the thought processes behind its creation. Take the knowledge gained in this research and create a two piece sculpture to fit in the designated site maintaining height and overhang limits. The sculpture is to be created of only basic geometric shapes and limits. Once the final sculptural model is achieved it is then converted into a structure in the form of a museum or art gallery.

Rendering

28

Class: Computing Media for Architectural Studies

Project: Realistic rendering

from a AutoCAD drawn elevation utilizing Adobe PhotoShop.

The basis of this project was a mixed-use high-rise our professor had designed to be located in Florida. As reference we were given the original rendering, along with an AutoCad drawing of the west elevation. We utilized only Adobe PhotoShop, and the skills we acquired in the class to create our final renderings of this project.

Class: Computer Applications in Architecture II Project: For the final the class was given the specific task of creating model furniture from scratch using the 3D modeling program Rhinoceros from plans created in AutoCAD. From there we imported our models into Revit Architecture in which the room was created. Following this we took the revit model of the room and all the furniture and accessories, and imported it into 3dsMax where we rendered all of the objects to create photo realistic quality. Finally Photo Shop was used to clean up any imperfections in the images.

Programs Used: AutoCad, Revit Architecture, 3dsMax, Photoshop, Rhinoceros

Programs Used: Rhinoceros, 3dsMax

Class: Computer Applications in Architecture II

Project: Model a web cam using Rhinoceros and then import the finished model into 3dsMax for material selection and rendering.
