The initial analysis of a particular sport created a set of motion drawings. Once the drawing were created a set of rules was devised to cut and fold along lines to create space. Within these set of rules the spatial elements of the sport were taken into consideration. Final planer elements were combined with frames and structure to create a pathway through space as an architectural form.

Final design phases incorporates the use of rock climbing techniques to create environment for goalkeeper training. The site is used to separate living areas from training. Living areas are broken down by privacy levels along ribbon. All structure is co ntain ed wi thi n ri b b o n s e c t i o n .

The ribbon is cut and folded in particular locations to allow for movement between exterior and interior as well as a performative skin for training.

The goal was to move an individual 10 feet vertically and allow for a southern view. The cube was rotated while leaving the structure intact to allow for circulation as well as framing of view. Secondary structure was added to allow for open corners.

Castillo de San Marcos
Firing Range Analysis
Began with precedent study of fortification in which I used firing ranges overlaid onto plan drawing to show density of protection within Castillo De San Marcos .The initial analysis of the site was a diagram compiled of a photo montage . This diagram was used as a form generator for the Fort Niagara Visitor Center. Within this system I was able to create unique spaces with variation in cladding and fenestration.

Bridget Riley Pattern
The vertical members are used to structure cantilevered angular members. The angular member provide storage for goods along with a division of stalls. Above eight feet the members are used to provide roof condition. The h i g h de n si ty o f wo o d creates a disorienting effect on the eye. As one moves around the stall there is a different optical experience at each location.

The use of parametric process to derive form is used to create optimal lighting conditions. The horizontal members are rotated according to their distance from the suns path. The market occupanc y is used to select a specific instance of t h e p a r a m e t r i c p r o c e s s .

The market design uses the landscape contours to provide paths within t h e structure. These paths provide linear shopping experience. Each path provides different spac i a l . The l and scap e is manipulated to build up to structure to act as one continuous surface.

Precident Study
Surface Depression Began by studying the T4 terminal by richard rodgers partnership. I used footage of a walkthrough of the airport to create an animation that uses surface manipulation to show perception of time. The longer the perception of time the larger the depression.

Site analysis was performed by taking video footage of each path into the site. After reviewing the footage a few day later I was able to draw section at each key frame. These frames represent a memory that was passed from long term to short term. By recreating these sections I attempt to show the spatial information of my memory.

Model was built by breaking the site down into a grid and giving each area a speed value. This speed value was based on how fast a person could move in that area. This gives me a recreation of the site based on how much information a visitor can retain due to speed. The result of this is a fragmented site in areas of high speed vs. true site in areas of low speed.

Deformation The shape of the building is derived from transportational ajecensies deforming the building based on their speed. Each of these deformations allows for the structure to act as a transportational hub that accepts the movement of each vehicle.

Simplicity and flexibility of the structure coalescing with panels offering a choice of cladding, provides for a design which allows multiple shapes, sizes and configurations. Depending upon its context, the prototype can be scaled, manipulated, and surfaced to suit the needs of the surrounding public activity.

We were asked to develop a mixed use residential housing building the combined a public program with living units. I introduced a live work situation that was aimed toward media artist. Seeing how the site was located in downtown buffalo I wanted to allow “The Squeaky Wheel� (a local media resource) to become the main public program. The main conceptual idea within the project is the pixel. The pixel allowed me to generate form and use its properties to make decisions through the entire design process.
A pixel does not need to be rendered as a small square. This image shows alternative ways of reconstructing an image from a set of pixel values, using

Rectangle drawn based on scale of line drawn from surface to grid.
The first iteration began by abstracting artwork through parametric process to create a skin that was based on media art. This skin was not used in the final building but the idea of moraying pixels was carried through.
Surface created from vector art analyzed through hightfield to create surfaced based on K values. Line from grid point to closest surface point.

The pixel was used in every aspect of the building. The tracking panels allowed the inhabitants to customize their unit as well as change its properies seasonally. The structure allows for large cantilevers as wells as no vertical elements in the exibition space. This further emphasiszes the solid void relationship.

Tree growth is augmented by a field of interacting parameters. Each parameter has an inherent potential to effect growth. Additionally each parameter occurs within a given system at varying frequencies. The nomenclature we have given to these observations is Quantity and Quality. The quality of deformation within the system determines the size of the circle which represents each parameter. The quantity of occurrence determines the placement of a parameter within a given system, represented as a field. The first diagram maps the way in which these parameters interact within five different systems, designated by region.

A group of variables was defined to represent all potential distortion on a tree. The effect of each parameter on a given variable is shown through distortion of a circle. This is calculated by determining the effect of each parameter on four aspects of each growth: external, internal, folial, and cellular. Compounding distortion is created as multiple variables interact, shown as 4000% overlaps on the diagram. Inversely lack of interaction between variables is shown through separation within the space of the diagram. Variables that are unaffected are excluded from the field of the parameter and, therefore, outside of the circle. Folial

Spring 2011 : Arc 440 : Relational Geome tries An initial, unbiased, mapping of parameters affect the size and grouping of a set of spheres. A second set of parameters distorts the original system based on regional conditions. Thus, the same set of spheres changes in size and grouping. Interconnection shows the formal extents of the effects of each region on the set of spheres. The overall form, as well as the clustering of spheres, are the variables for each designated climatic system.

A series of paper study models were constructed to observe the effects of a series of variables upon surface curvature. Three main variables were studied: Connection details, point density, and material composition. The distribution of points along each strip of paper is determined by analyzing the average movement of corresponding points in the previous three sets of points. Thus, each surface is sequential, stemming from the deformation in two initial curves.

Wood and chipboard are used to study the effect of grain on the deformation of the overall surface. The accuracy of each connection is increased through the use of rivets, rather than glue as in previous studies. The wood was wet with a spray bottle to increase its malleability. Each surface uses the same basic point distribution, with a different maximum threshold applied to each
