This library is a fluid deviation from traditional library ways to the newly redefined, technological age of the library. This form houses the typical library’s book stacks in one wing of the splitting volume and computer centers and data in the other wing. At the intersection of the deviating wings is a continuous void, connecting each floor and both wings and facilitating the spread of knowledge.

In accordance with the fluid concept, the circulation (both horizontal and vertical) via the core and void space are instilled with a sense of continuity and flow. As the operational diagrams show on the previous page, the new methods of library-keeping (through new technologies) have started to remove themselves from the typical stacks of the library. In order to showcase this new ideology and organization of a library while still giving reference to the historically

understood library through book stacks, the two methodologies are fluidly deviated from each other. The stacks, though, are ripped from the new technologically programmed spaces and are cantilevered, pushing the idea that traditional methods are no longer the foundation or grounding of a library space. Mediating between the two library functioning spaces (new and old book organization) is a void that connects all floors and functions.

North-South Light Rendered Section
EMILY MCGUIRE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
With a rigid north-south building orientation, the form needed to account for plenty of daylighting without glare. Utilizing the void, most of the daylighting effects occur in the grand circulation path weaving up and down the void. Secondarily, but also very important, is the canted South facade (this was also mirrored on the North facade, just not for the same performance sake). Allowing the form to

self-shade by overhanging itself, users of the library at computers will not be blinded by glaring light entering the spaces. Above shows the longitudinal, north-south section and the light emittance designed for. Of note is the expansive skylight on the roof and the sliced and angled ends.

3 Shown above are the three main types of curtain wall panel employed in the Daegu Library. Top left is the most typical, wrapped facade of cold formed aluminum panels (some operable) as a structural, insulated panel system. Bottom left is the perforated aluminum panel with glazing behind that occurs on the core-side of the building where light transmission is necessary for circulation around the core. Finally, the above image represents the “cut faces� of the building
where clear glazing and glass mullions allow for the most light exposure. In addition, where the glass panels meet with the aluminum panel system, back painted glass is exercised to hide the build-up behind.

Elevations of the building show the use of the aluminum panel and the wrapping it must do to accommodate and reinforce the fluid form and “cut� glass faces. Juxtaposition of the fluid, solid form (created by the aluminum panels) and the transparent glass faces is best seen in the given elevational views.

Interior spaces rendered above show the material of concrete as the chosen fluid interior material. In addition to material choices, lighting and furniture are also deployed in the Daegu library design to reinforce the fluid concept of the space. As depicted in many images thus far, the structural system takes heed of the changes in the library’s typology and grounds the application of this form by

If commuting discourages activities such as fitness and eating healthy foods, especially in the Midwest, and if Chicago commuting averages increase from twenty-five minutes today to two hours by 2050, then how will the Chicago house of 2050 counteract this dire commuting epidemic already present today?

In addition to the constrained planning dimensions of the attached typology, the students were faced with a reduced amount of area for thermal and water collection and gain to only two short facades and the roof condition. Furthermore, the ratio of height to width and the attached nature of the neighbors created significantly constrained conditions for direct daylighting.

As with the prior exercise, students used their client profile to situate and locate the contexts of their project in Chicago.

EMILY MCGUIRE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
The greenhouse half of the row house is irrigated through pipes integrated into the structural system, as shown in the image above. Water is collected at the roof level (collection amassing to an average of 126 usg/day) and is directed through a series of waterways and drip beds, through the faceted floor slabs to irrigate the plants, and once at ground level, either recycled back up for greenhouse re-use when roof-top collection is not sufficient or ultimately filtered for

domestic use and pumped up to the attached family dwelling for use in “water closets� and those of the like. Finally, once used as irrigation for plants and possibly grey water in domestic facilities, the water is discharged at ground level in order to recharge the ground.

In order to understand the irrigation system through pipes, above proves the possibility and applicability of the entire water collection and distribution design. These flow diagrams hold technical merit when they refer to the individual irrigation and plumbing fixtures to allow this design to operate. Diagrams of the actual parts and logic are essential to working successfully with contractors on projects that might reach outside the typical architectural design scope. An

CHICAGO FUTURE HOUSE DETACHED CONDITION-COMMUTER
Active Parameters: Finding Chicago
Design Constraint #2: 3.5 Week Project
34
Students began the semester’s work by undertaking intense analysis and identification of the climactic and energetic flows and environmental factors that define and characterize Chicago and its immediate region. This work immediately translated into foundational research into how Chicago and its metropolitan infrastructure currently process these flows, and what the sustainability of these systems will be in 2050. In addition to the climactic analyses and typical contextual research (topography, infrastructure, etc), the students specifically investigated and questioned:
In the first design exercise for the Future Home, students were given a theoretical ‘Lot’ with dimensions, setbacks, ‘North’, buildable areas, and FAR ratios to constrain the massing, area and heights of the projects. To determine the neighborhood and locations within Chicago, the students applied their Client profile and climactic analyses.
ENGULFED IN FOOD
The first Lot the students studied was the traditional ‘Detached’ lot typology typical of the majority of Chicago’s neighborhoods, seen particularly in Prairie, 4-Square, and Bungalow Style houses.
Water Scarcity - Can Lake Michigan support the city’s potable and other water uses at an urban scale in 2050, despite unregulated consumption and lack of treated recharge?
Lot Line
Food Consumption - Will Chicago’s position as a transit hub instigate the increasing distance between point of growth and point of consumption? Can this be mitigated with viable local solutions?

Air Flow - How can urban air flow be used to help calibrate micro-climates that contribute to the internal organization of the Future Home? Sustainable Devices- Can the devices and appliances we currently own and direct precious resources to become sources of energy capture and storage? Future Economies- Can the house of the future and its modes of operation create new economies and social contracts?

Professional Programs Studio
Our studio project program came from the Chicago Museum of Science + Industry’s brief for the speculative design of the ‘FUTURE HOME. (2050).’ The brief demands that we speculate what terms will define ‘home’ in the year 2050? What will be the global+local concerns that demand response? What will be the defining Previous Page / Interior Living Room Perspective problems that setup both the opportunities and constraints for human habitation? What programmatic elements, construction assemblies, and environmental systems will the Future Home consist of? How does this Future Home situate itself Detached in the history of postulated Future Homes? And of course, most importantly, what Above / Chicago Lotpreviously Size Plan will this home be and how will it work?

Attached Typology
EMILY MCGUIRE ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Under the same implications as the attached condition future house shown previously and the same fairytale farm home polemic, this detached suburban house employs a deep wall cavity enclosing each room so that the commuter is surrounded by healthy, accesible food for harvest when he or she returns home after such a long and exhausting day of work and travel. The same three programmatic aspects are used within the detached house: living, exercise, and
35
food facilitator as the plans above and adjacent show. As a detached condition refers to, the amount of exterior surfaces is increased and, therefore leads to increasing the importance of planting based on “north” or “south” exposure. Thus, each room can be linked to its harvestability per plant and season.

Never enough time for the gym? After work, there is no need for a gym when you live in the commuter neighborhood of Chicago; the “gym� is built into the core of the house and just navigating between rooms maximizes health by taking the continuous staircase from ground to top bedroom level.
Aligned with the midnight snack tale, favorite snacks are only ever a couple of staircases away. The staircase mass interacts with both the living and greenhouse sides of the house. With an open structural system, each space seems connected to the next and encourages movement up and down the vertical circulation between rooms and growing media.

LiveFAB is centered around creating a community greenspace that contrasts with the industrial past of Red Hook, Brooklyn. Located adjacent to a community garden and across from a waterside park, the project ties the green together conceptually, further integrating greenspace throughout the community. Just as Central Park is an immense green acreage in Manhattan, this will be the mini, yet still urban, expanse in Brooklyn. Looking from a bird’s eye view, the entire project site is covered with inhabitable greenspace.

A large planar park is created, serving as both a roof for the program of the lower levels as well as a passive flood resistance device, providing more pervious land for water to be absorbed into alluding to and accommodating for circumstances as awful as Hurricane Sandy. In order to account for possible and inevitable floods, the storage and living programs have been removed from the ground level. A heavy timber waffle slab created by interlocking glulam

beams will support the planar green surface. The waffle slab maximizes plan efficiency allowing for large spans for the wood production and digital fabrication spaces that it houses. Residential modules can be produced onsite in the wood production facilities, or in other similar facilities. Modules are structured by high performance cross-laminated timber shear walls and floor plates.

In order to respect and highlight the gothic verticality of the Tribune Tower, a low-profile massing and radial organization is employed throughout this mixed-use project. Not only does such a form allow for a gracious space buffer between itself and the Tribune Tower, but it also allows for the integration of the three dinstinct but interwoven programs: retail, cafe and hotel. By creating retail with entry from Michigan Avenue and on axis with Wacker Drive, shopping

will extend into the site of the Tribune Tower, alluding to the magical “Galerie� passageways of Paris where interior storefronts provide shelter to shoppers. In addition, the cafe will occupy the ground floor and sidewalk directly off of Michigan Avenue during the summer and ultimately in and above the retail spaces all year round. As cafes in Paris are, this Michigan Avenue cafe will be situated for seeing and being seen. Finally, the Hotel mass sweeps around the Tribune on floors three through five.

The neo-gothic manifestation of the Tribune Tower in Chicago portrays some of the most recognizable features of the gothic era such as the pointed arch. In order to tie the new piece of architecture in with its surroundings, literally, the pointed arch is turned on its side and employed as the main galerie entrance. As shown on the following page, the remnants of the pointed arch are apparent in the hotel lobby, but carry no weight or significance like they did in the Gothic era.

MIXED-USE TOWER DESIGN
60 OFFICE + HOTEL TOWER CURTAIN WALLS
Top / Zoomed in hotel tower curtain wall caps Alongside the rest of the design team, I developed optional facade treatments (via mullion extrusions, material changes, curtain wall placement on the overall mass, and angle of curtain wall Middle / Zoomed in office tower curtain wall panels) and readied them for presentation to clients. Images of the top of the hotel tower were also caps studied to better understand how the tower could be “capped� off and how the cap related to the whole form of the curtain wall treatment (Rhino4 and 3DS Max). Both the hotel and office masses Bottom / Overall curatin wall options of both were investigated in these design options and also shown as pairs in presentation, as the bottom towers images show.

As the cover rendering shows, the office tower roofs were designed to be angled curtain wall panels that turned the corner at the roof and continued across the edges of many floor slabs. This case study that I produced was to question and better understand better the condition of the roof at each office floor slab and the relation of the connection between each and the inhabitants inside. Visibility was an aspect that was to be preserved, yet the head-height of the space limited the end condition and suggested the placement of something like a bench, as shown in these renderings. An upturned slab condition seemed a best-fit scenario allowing for the delivery of systems to the exterior facade in a clean detail.

Done in AutoCAD, these plans show the scope of work in relation to each program aspect of the hotel tower. In addition, the core configuration is of importance as the design is very tight to accommodate the many functions at each level, both front-of-house and back-of-house spaces. The section shows the vertical planning of the hotel, conference center, mechanical, and serviced apartment levels. This section is also

coordinated with the MEP consultants in regards to structure and floor sandwich depths. Finally, the integration of each programmatic feature is highlighted for ease of viewing but also to show the attention to detail in the space planning of the boundary conditions of each space.
