Garden Project
Spring 2011 - Art 123 - Brian Rex
Starting with a precedent garden, Villa de’ Este, it was catalog and then analyzed to see how a person would move through the garden. Taking the way one would move through a garden the idea was brought out through a string model. Moving on through the design process the string model was taken then redone through blue foam and other materials, not including glue or adhesive. Aside from the garden, how to define space was modeled through small 3”x3“x3” cubes. Moving forward, using both the spacial cubes, string model and blue foam model, the challenging became how to take all three and mesh into one 2”x2”x2” cube and place it on the proposed given sloped site.

Domino House Given Le Courbusier’s Domino House, The project developed though the addition of one set of stairs, three partitions, and one threshold. After place each element inside, a facade was created using different grids and systems that correlated with what was placed inside the Domino House.

Precedent Study Fagnano Olona Elementary School Aldo Rossi Varese, Italy 1972-1976
Each student was given a precedent building to study and to help them design a visual arts quad on the South Dakota State University Campus in Brookings, SD. One major project constraint was that the seed house and head house were to remain and to be worked into the design.

Along with a precednet study grids were created off of of surrounding buildings, roads, sidewalks, and trees. These grids helped form both the outline of the building and the grided system within the proposed building.

Digital & Annotation
Spring 2013 - Arch 321 - Sara Lum The project started with taking photos of architectural elements. After capturing images, six were collage together. From the collage, three line drawings; a orthogonal drawing, a tension drawing, and an architectonic drawing were developed. Taking the drawings a collaborative drawing was made. Moving on, collaborative drawing was pasted into Rhino. In Rhino lines from both the orthogonal and architectonic line were extruded to create different shapes. The tension line were extruded and twisted to connect the highest point of the model to the lowest part of the model.

$5 Laser Scanner
Fall 2013 - Arch 332 - Sara Lum
The $5 laser scanner answered the question “How low can you go?� The question asked to see if a group could make a laser scanner for the cheapest amount possible. A project done with a classmate, Katie Voss, used a wine glass, a cat laser, a camera and a laptop with the David Laser Scanner Program. Taking an object, like a can of air, the laser is shot throug the stem of the wine glass, and video is captured of the scan on with the camera. The information is then put into the David Laser Scanner program and created into a mesh of data. The second half of the project was devoted to miniplationg the data. The mesh of data was taken and pixilated in Rhino, then printed off using a 3D printer. The red model is the pixelated mesh and the white model is the original mesh.

Dairy Milking Center
Spring 2013 - Arch 352 - Jessica Garcia-Fritz
In the beginning of this project, a unique stacking unit first, had to be created. Using hydrological and blue foam form work. After many iterations, one was chosen as a final brick and used as the main construction material for the rest of the design. The proposed building is for a Dairy Milking Center on the South Dakota State University campus, in Brookings, South Dakota. It is a two story milking center with three main programs with in it; public, private and bovine. A key design challenge was to create an area where the people could see the cows, but the cows can not see the people. Using the chosen stacking unit, revels were created allowing visitors on the second story to look down in onto the cows, during the milking process.

Univeristy University Of Minnesota Library s 1
Using Minneapolis Central Library as a precedent this proposed building on the University of Minnesota Campus is designed using three parts. The central circulation space placed in the middle spreads out into two outlying spaces. The circulation space holds all the traffic moving between the three floors. The circulation space is centered on the campus axis that runs from the student union to the river. The proposed building was to include a stacking unit as the only material the building is built out of. A 1’x1’x2’ CMU was used to create all the walls leading up to barrel vaults as roofs. The models were stacked by hand for the purpose of understand stacking unit construction.

This proposed project aims to help bring life back to downtown Aberdeen, South Dakota. The site is a large open parking lot adjacent to the Dakotah Prairie Museum. 24 models were made using different design proposals, such as mediation, composition, compliment and palimpsest. The added program was to include space for a children's museum, ice rink and farm er’s market. 17

Emily Hamer 312 Third St. W Jordan, MN 55352 612-201-7770 emily.hamer@jacks.sdtate.edu South Dakota State University DoArch Brian T. Rex, Associate Professor and Head Box 2203, SIM 108 Brookings, SD 57007 605-688-4841 Dear South Dakota State University DoArch, I am writing to express my interest in the M.Arch program here at South Dakota State University. If you would have asked me five years ago if I would be thinking about continuing my higher education in architecture, I would have told you “no.� But, after switching into the undergrad program at SDSU, I believe I truly found what I was meant to do. I have developed a true passion for architecture. This passion is best served by the hands on experience I have received from the DoArch program thus far. Being apart of a first class has been an amazing opportunity. I have gain an immense knowledge of architecture through the trips I have taken, the hours spent drafting both by and digitally, the models I have crafted through different technologies and by hand. Through the time spent flipping through the pages of books and doodling in a sketch book. The hands on experience I have received from the SDSU DoArch is just one of the many reasons I wish to continue my education here. For the next two years I hope to continue learning and being apart of a growing and new program that has extreme potential to be great! My hopes for my future in the field of architecture are to either become a teacher or work within urban design. Over the past two years, I have found that I truly enjoy learning form others and I feel that the best way to do that can be through teaching. I have gained an interest for the way cities layout and grow, I feel this can be aided by the projects that are done within cities across South Dakota. I hope that I can continue to both learn and work with DoArch on furthering my education and the architecture program here at South Dakota State University. Thank you for the opportunity, and your time and consideration. Sincerely,
