BIFURCATIONS occur at pivotal moments in time: shifting, combining, and colliding. Located at these points are the projects that outline a process of iterative extents. This is a catalog of bifurcations, all occurring at critical points, illustrating different forms of energy. Architecture is memorable, exciting, and expressive of an energetic character. Realizing how to interpret spatial ideas and concepts into drawings and models as an architectural language is powerful and rewarding. Mapping out different ways to complete a task ensures an exciting result. I’m most comfortable in the design studio when I’m the most uncomfortable in my process. By staying optimistic every energy becomes its own and not the same as the one before. I am interesting in discovering, examining, and exposing the many layers of our surroundings in order to celebrate and intensify life’s interactions. This is the dynamic behavior of my architectural design language. This is a book of my undergraduate architectural WORK, it’s what I DO and this is how it GOes. . .

lee hall bridge: footbridge, gallery space, student lounge PROF. LAUREN MITCHELL ARCH 251 FALL 2008
Connect! The Lee Hall Courtyard has proven itself to be a historical location for the architecture department at Clemson University. Additions to the building’s first plan have resulted in the segregation of the undergraduate and graduate architecture students. Between the two groups of students, one can find many resources scattered throughout the extended plan of Lee Hall. This badly planned separation creates difficult circulation patterns for the building’s occupants.
A narrative was defined through the aid of several word actions. These actions created a bridge that completed connections between all of the facility’s studios and utilities.

ANDERSON PIVOT CIRCULATE train station: anderson, sc DR. PETER LAURENCE ARCH 252 SPRING 2009
An interactive axis has been created at the site of the Anderson Train Station to link all forms of transportation. This pivot creates a mobility axis that connects a three phase plan of (1) train/bike, (2) bus, and (3) automobile parking. To circulate the traffic of the city’s transported visitors; the train station has provided a dynamic path elevated above the tracks. Geometric influences from the site have formed hinged paths that push patrons into the layers of the moving modes of transportation. To support the growing number of cyclists in the upstate region of South Carolina, one rail is refurbished with the Rails to Trails program enabling it to become an uninterrupted recreational bike lane. This additional layer to the program exhibits the building’s purpose to be a multifaceted civic structure.

The process applied to the video is applied to the spatial qualities of the trumpet. The instrument can be identified as a mode to express the language of music. Three moments are composed to express the culture of the instrument as it explores its interactions between space, sound, and the public. A composition of three pause moments exists around an “L� structure and connections are found by a stair. The tectonics and layering of the model represent the depth of a musical composition.

recycle the site design competition: asheville, nc arts district COLLABORATIVE WORK: CHARLES KANE, LIZ BARR PROF. DOUGLAS HECKER ARCH 351 FALL 2009
As part of a student design competition, Recycle the Site Asheville, teams of architecture and landscape students were charged to generate ideas in which to save a 13 acre EPA Brownfield site. Located in the vibrant River Arts District the site is ever changing and extremely dynamic. Between the constant motion of the French Broad River and the site’s intermittent flooding, the design acts adaptable to advance and evolve in an undulating landscape. Emphasized connections within the site and the surrounding areas show links to downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, and the French Broad River Park. By celebrating these connections, the creation of a more vivacious and diverse community can evolve.

Heat Zones are created by the morphing of these different tectonic fabrics.
A strict pattern and method is applied to each separate landscape. After the merger (collision) of each of the continents the patterns of each migrate into the others. In a ten year span the community experiments and tests the nature of their environment, creating the oddly diverse community required for the area’s artistic patrons. To highlight the connections between each district, utilized abandoned train rails aid to form pedestrian pathways throughout the site and into the opposite bank of the river. This site works as an open circuit fitting into the bigger picture of the Asheville area as a whole.

“SUPER THE SOLE GRAPHIC SURVIVOR ” The studio extracted an extensive amount of historic maps, images, and text on the client’s Arch Building. These findings concluded that the current state of the Arch Building was incorrect. Due to two restorations and one renovation, the east and west facades of the building were scraped clean.
History instantly became site specific.
032
Architectural graphics make visible the removed masses against the east façade. By way of reading the text and dates applied on the walls, visitors can compare the bike box history panels to that of the mapped elements on the east façade. Communication of the project’s components enable visitors to understand, feel, and experience the site’s history. This architecturally drawn map on the façade of the CCDC reconstructs the past.
“SUPER THE SOLE GRAPHIC SURVIVOR ” LANDSCAPE The placement of the bike boxes on the east of the Arch Building direct the viewer to the angled sides of the old structure. By placing the bike boxes perpendicular to the street, an odd angle is created against the axis of the boxes and the east wall of the Arch Building. Viewers experience the space while reading history panels throughout the shrinking and expanding path.
034
Historic Sanborn Maps were used to locate two buildings that occupied the site in the early 1900s and 1950s. Segments of these foundations were excavated and extended with cast concrete to recreate the historic footprints. These footprints also provide needed boundaries for the applied gravel surrounding the boxes.
BIKE “LANDSCAPE SUPER THEBOX SOLE GRAPHIC SURVIVOR ” Due to the limited size of the client’s site and current site restrictions (utilities, HVAC, and underground receptacles), the bike box developed the form of a vertical box, storing the bike perpendicular to its normal position. By placing the bikes vertically, each box footprint was reduced dramatically.
Panels mounted on the rear of the bike boxes provide historic information about the buildings history. Visitors are able to instantly locate the exact placement of artifacts on the wall with the aid of the history panels.

aiken rhett house: historical reading through Peter Eisenman's Ten Canonical Buildings PROF. SALLIE HAMBRIGHT ARCH 499 SPRING 2010
The AIKEN RHETT HOUSE is representative of canonical architecture with the repetitive and morphing character of its actions of SHIFT-ADDANCHOR-DIVIDE-MOVE. This Charleston home posseses all of these visual motions transfigured behind its layered facade . 195 years of history has enstilled its canonical status by way of three canonical movements, otherwise known as its three distinct periods. “In other words, less a concern for what the eye sees--the optical--and more for what the mind sees--the visual. This latter idea of “seeing with the mind” is called here “close reading.”

SURFACE AREAREMEDIATE real-pit bbq restaurant: pendleton, sc PROF. ROBERT BRUHNS ARCH 352 FALL 2010
The rural areas of Pendleton, SC have supported the construction of large superstores with accompanying large parking lots. The design of a real-pit BBQ restaurant supported views of outdoor picnicking and community gathering. Surrounding these ideas were views of green and natural settings suitable for the production of BBQ. Surface Area aims to bring attention to the site’s barren parking lot by way of remediating the landscape.
Restoration of the rural landscape is acheived by elevating the structure off the ground plane. This respect leaves room for an outdoor arbor structure, an attachment to the surrounding landscape. Within this arbor, wisteria and yellow-jasmine vines attach themselves providing covered shelter for parking below. The plan of the site is transformed from a blank asphalt plane into an undulating aerial terrain.

Central to the restaurant is the HEARTH. Here the food is prepared and delivered in the expanding forms of the interior. A circle is dissected with the vectors of pertinent site lines, property lines, and surrounding buildings. This grounds the project into the landscape that it has created--providing interpretation of the site’s history. The growth of the site lends itself as a discovered detail found as the introduced vegetation transfigures the site’s current appearance.

bike depot: downtown clemson, sc mixed-used rental PROF. DOUGLAS HECKER ARCH 351 FALL 2009
Expose! Introducing the bicycle as an alternative form of transportation in the Clemson community is an experience that should be CELEBRATEd and DISPLAYed. Creating a lightweight and transparent-like structure of thin steel frames will enable people to view the program of this housing unit as an exciting display of color and light. The bike storage and living spaces integrate simultaneously through a fluid system of structural sections. Each section is characterized by a circuit board that is adaptable to each of the differing program elements. Participants are encouraged to take advantage of life with the act of harvesting motion.
City participants harvest their stored bicycles to reap the benefits of bicycling as a major form of transportation. Study models show that the bike hub’s location has provided a pivot point between the downtown area and the main campus. Along this axis bikers can circulate through the building by way of a system of ramps connected to each circuit board. Pulley systems collect the bicycles for instant storage and display. The bicycle is celebrated as the building’s skin. The building’s stakeholder’s are able to rent personalized color storage cubes to place into the grid. Once in place, these personal containers can serve as bookmarks for the rider’s parking spot while they store unwanted and bulky items.

Investigations into model materiality were studied at large where etched Plexiglas was the standard medium. In model form, the structure was created with a transparent material to highlight the display and exposure of the stored bicycles. In translation from model to large scale building materials, the structure would be an open air facility consisting of thin, structural steel sections. These sections would permit the varied and evident display of the bicycles in storage.
