EDUCATION FOR ORGANIC GROWTH Fall 2011 // Carrefour, Haiti david stone//calvin wright
Site Plan
Fractal Analysis of Haiti’s Urban Sprawl Haiti’s development pattern created voids on street corners that became fluid gathering places. This chaos became a means of organization for understanding how to better the fluidity within the school.
Hispaniolan Trogon Haiti’s National Bird
Restoring growth in haiti
Programmatic Diagram
After Haiti’s devistating earthquake, many of the cities were left in ruins. One of the first places to begin rebuilding is the education system. Using local bamboo for structure, the Haiti Boarding School helps restore the community through utilizing local construction techniques for rebuilding their education system. In order to better integrate the culture of Haiti, we incorporated an idea of nesting the children within these inner courtyards of the school. The idea of the egg came through a study of the Haitian national bird, the Hispaniolan Trogon, which nears endangerment due to deforestation. This led us to create an environment that protected its inhabitants while helping restore growth within the community.

structure
The structural system consists of a double ring of bamboo columns as the primary load-bearing element., with cement foundations. These columns attach to and support the floor plates. steel sections butt against the columns and hold the solid wood-beam walls in placec. The floorplates are a layered system of structural bamboo, wood purlins, bamboo slats, and bamboo floor planks.

Process While studying Carlo Scarpa, I became intrigued with deriving forms by transposing different geometrical shapes on top one another. This study led to programming the design by assigning giving each shape a function. Once the functions were placed in a concise order, I was able to generate a form that reflected the purpose and core of the building. The core references the bike frame as a means of support for the entire building and becomes the creative catalyst for the entire project.

the bicycle frame The bike frame represents the core of the building , meaning that the rest of the building is additive to the core
gears FRAME
The aluminum panels represent the atomic structure of the welding points in the frame. When the welding point of the frame is static, the panels are in a concise order. Once the weld has occured, the panels become unorganized, simliar to how metal reacts to a weld.
Welding points The extrusions of the building were influenced by the gears of the bike. Sun louvers act as the mechanical device for controlling both the lighting and tempurature of the building.

The Clemson Bike Institute is purposed to educate and provide accessibility to bicycles. The design focuses on bringing people to rent bikes and take classes to learn how to repair and ride them. By immersing the student in an environment built around the bicycle, you begin to grasp a deeper understanding of bicycle design and functionality. Thus Clemson Bike institute becomes a node for the bicycle as not only a form of transportation, but as art.
Artficially Organic Architecture Fall 2012 // cHICAGO iL 4TH year studio
A.O.A artificially organic architecture
Farming in the Trees
In the year 2200, Artificially Organic Architecture will essentially grow living structures to be inhabited by humans. Building structure is no longer a quick assembly but instead a natural process which takes its time to grow and thrive within its environment. This process begins by combining the knowledge of an architect and a plant geneticist. The architect designs the structure using parameters dictated by the mathematical equations that already exist within nature. Once the architect formulates the design, it is then programmed by a plant geneticist into a seedling organism which carries the genetic coding of natural growth but with the intelligence and structure of a building. These structures can be planted in any environment around the world to create spaces for every function. This example of A.O.A is located in the heart of downtown Chicago where it provides both a natural environment to reside in and farming space for food to be grown locally.
The growth process The process begins by planting the seedling organism’s in exact locations depending on program and necessity. While growing the organism is not inhabitable due to its malleability. Once the organism has completed growing, it becomes structural through a hardening process that alters its cellular structure for carrying loads.

Structure In order to allow for program within the organism, the functions of the structure are split in to three different seeds which inherently grow on one another for structural support. Once planted, the seeds naturally germinate and grow based on their proximity to one another. The process from seed to structure can take up to 6 years depending on the size and complexity dictated by its parameters.

Cellular Structure
The structural stems provide a core that allows for HVAC functions and a denser outer layer for added strength. HVAC
Stem Structure
This core creates space for and function necessities to be run throughout the structure.
Structural Core
The cellular structure allows for water and waste capillaries.
Water Capillaries Water rises throughout the stems using capillary action. This provides water for the farms and inhabitants. Aside from providing water the stems return water clearer than before to its original source
Waste/Recycle The waste produced by farms and humans interconnect for composting and recycling.
The core of the circulation stem creates a channel to place the transportation pod.
Transportation Pods Using pneumatic power, the transportation pods can move users from the bottom to the farms using varying air pressure for rising and descending.
Farming in the trees
The leaf like structures for the farms are dedicated to organic farming which is a concept rooted in Japan. Using the existing organic structure of the leaves, the crops are able to grow naturally without the necessity of using inorganic growth methods. Similar to trees, the farms are spaces out to allow for maximum sunlight to power both the structure and the plants growing within them. In order to negate some of the load carried by the farm’s, the design has an aerodynamic quality to allow for lift to utilize Chicagos wind.

The Real Nice
Chair Back.

Sketches by David Stone and Evan Goodwin
THE real nice Chair back design came through the lack of back support provided by the studio chairs in Lee Hall. Our focus was to create a stool back that was elegant, efficient, and ergonomical. Multiple iterations led to a design that could be cut out of a single piece of 47”x 8” piece of 10 gauge metal. The arms bend up and easily attach to the stool base, ready to create the most relaxing chair back you’ve ever experienced. Final design specifications 5" 1"
