STUDIO Location West Oakland, CA, South of the West Oakland BART Station Objective Create a building to accomodate a film school and production facility in West Oakland. Program 10,500 SF Film School Area 8,200 SF Film Production Area Resolution For this studio, I focused on the transformation of a singular abstract unit to a successful final building strategy. Beginning with the concept of movement in film, implying a frame with one side “missing” or continuous beyond sight, I developed a three-sided unit. The final building solution is a web like form, sited to take maximal advantage of the site’s surroundings. This building is formed by the three framed members, sequentially expanding, contracting and shifting, which also form the structural members supporting the semi transparent surface that defines the space.

Crime Mapping BAR

Major Crimes Minor Crimes

ABSTRACT UNIT | THREE-SIDED FRAME This studio emphasized an abstracted preliminary design approach in which the final form was both unknown and unimportant during the first stages of design. I examined numerous stills from film, and found that they consistently conveyed an implied three-sided frame. This arrangement of three lines, forming a simplified unit reminiscient of a moment frame, then became the unit upon which the metaphysical forces of the site acted upon to create a skeletal form.

Left A mylar composition mapping the metaphysical flows of attraction and repulsion acting on the site. These flows are derived from the crime mapping on the opposite page, and the composition was created by hand in order to integrate analytical and intuitive responses to the crime information into the final mapping. Below Study models developing the mapping into a 3-dimensional representation, exploring (from left to right) repulsion, interaction, and integration with the three-sided frame as a replacement for the vertically performing members of the interaction model.

STRUCTURE Objective Design and build a

bridge that spans 36 in. and can support a load of 150 lbs.before collapse using basswood

Resolution The arch bridge, with

a bottom span that runs diagonally from the left to right side of the arch, combines aesthetics with structural performance. By utilizing the structural efficiency of the arch and triangle, minimal materials are used to provide maximal load accomodation, and smaller members at each point of maximum compression are designed to fail at 150 lbs. in accordance with the loading modeled in SAP 2000. Ms. Amann did a majority of the modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assembly, while I did the SAP 2000 calculations and a majority of the corresponding drawings and material choice to ensure structural performance.

I participated on a project team for this office renovation/ design alongside Brian Nee and Kevin Crossman. My responsibilities consisted of preliminary design analysis and parking/ massing schema that revealed design possibilities in coherence with regional building codes. I also had multiple RevIt-related responsibilites during the preliminary stages of design, including translating the existing building shell and structure into RevIt and developing preliminary design fit plans. In addition, I built a physical model of the office shell, emphasizing the existing steel structure to convey to the client the design options for the remaining space.

world are currently suffering from the constantly changing demand of air travel. Lack of adaptibility means that terminals everywhere undergo excessive construction to keep them up to date, or remain out of touch with their present usage patterns. This leads to inefficient usage of terminal space, which in turn causes inflated construction costs, longer travel times, and a less enjoyable travel experience.

Resolution I propose a uniform

kit of parts that provides maximal adaptability and can be applied worldwide to airports of varying scale. A steel frame with standardized 20x20 bays provides the framework for each airport. Plug-and-play capsules for varying gate sizes, circulation, security, and other airport program, all of which are prefabricated off-site, are then hung onto the uniform steel frame to create the functional airport. Using a wheel and rail system, these individual capsules can then shift in the x and y directions, accommodating future shifts in program demand and thereby eliminating expensive construction costs and programmatic inefficiency.

Small Terminal For this sample terminal arrangement, three gates are arranged to accommodate two smaller planes and one medium sized plane. These gates are complemented by a commercial space for food and shops. Access is provided by two joined security spaces and a check-in area below, connecting the terminal to road-side access. The layout provides easy means of expansion to four or five gates, and can easily be adapted to a new usage pattern if, for example, larger planes begin using the terminal (insert a large gate) or more commercial space is desirable.

Current State Excessive security wait times, shuttle

The adaptable airport of the future will eliminate such egregious costs; since 1998, including planned ongoing renovations, LAX has spent ~$2.8 Billion on terminal renovations.

Current State SBGR lacks the infrastructure to ac-

commodate the increased number of passengers flying to Brazil in light of their economic boom from 2004-2010. This has led to expensive renovations ($784.7 Million to be spent on modernization from 2009-2014) and miserable user experience (25% of flights delayed >15 minutes).
