SYMBIOSIS

Partner: Yarely Martinez Smith

This project, a submission for the COTE Top 10 Student Competition, aims to offer affordable and dependent co-housing for the young professionals and transitioning homeless of the Seattle population through co-housing along Lake Union. This is accomplished through shared living spaces, community gardens and water collection as means of selfsustainment and affordability.

The current typologies of houseboats along Lake Union are organized in a linear fashion along a single boardwalk. They are connected to municipal utilities like water and sewer, causing them to be expensive

CREATE, CONSERVE, COLLABORATE

Team: Lydia Gandy, Ashley Seiderman, & Hayden Bryson

The Detroit Water Education Center embraces the process of collaboration between researchers, students, artists, and other patrons. This is achieved by merging diverse programs into large, interdisciplinary spaces situated on the site of the former Broadhead Naval Armory. Our design grew around three central focuses of water, art, and users. Spaces that serve as fixed points that contain specific research, educational, or policy-making programs. The area between specified programs provide opportunities for more open collaboration and temporary uses such as events or exhibit spaces. Rooms are designed to be transparent so that all patrons are involved in the collaboration environment.

PORTAL OF THE PIAZZA

Partner: Joseph Scherer

While studying abroad in Genoa, Italy; I was fully immersed into the rich history the city had to offer, including it being the birthplace of explorer, Christopher Columbus. The concept of our Columbian Exchange Galleria was the creation of a very public space that links the progression from one elevation to another. Our goal was to create a keeping the space in our galleria open, public, and inviting.

FRIERSON ELEMENTARY GARDEN PAVILION

Part outdoor classroom and part gardening center, the project combines two covered pavilion areas that join at the corners. The covered pavilions are arranged to be able to accommodate separate activities, but they are also arranged toward a shared focal point, giving the space versatility for multiple uses.

The structure is a study in the effective use of angles. Both of the pavilions are t rapezoidal, slanted 15 degrees. The “floating” roofs of each pavilion are also arranged at irregular angles to maximize shade and manage water runoff.

W’ALL

Team: Michael Urueta, Lydia Gandy, Abby Anderson, Malik Sanders, Lily Morris, Mikayla Mannera, Jacob Zeeveld, and Brooklyn Walrod

Can architecture make the invisible visible? The W’ALL seeks to remind us of the many neglected social inequalities in the built environment that are still invisible. The exhibit is interactive and immersive, using 4 senses: sight, sound, smell, and touch. The interior and exterior reveal the content through virtual and physical displays.  It is built to epitomize the recent research projects in Clemson University’s “Call My Name” and “Design Justice” Creative Inquiry.

WEAVING DRAPING QUILTING

The content of the exhibit lent itself to be discussed spatially. An immersive experience would place the viewer between the presented stories and challenge them to ask where their existence is within them. There needed to be an effort to uncover the information revealed invisibly, accepting the truth that there is always more to learn. The truth will be challenging at times, but it will help us heal collectively.

Three pods correlate with the three themes of content. The pods are embedded in the wall; the wall is the visible entity that must be addressed to understand the invisible barriers that it creates. Weaving, draping, and quilting served as representatives of the narratives shared.

ARCHITECTURE F(OLLIES) DESIGN-BUILD

As part of the Awakening: Motion project by Enough Pie, this architecture follie work as a means of showcasing the different mobility options in the city of Charleston, South Carolina.

At the heart of this follie project is the ADA picnic table. The design and the end product of this project allows the table to address the issues of non-car transportation in Charleston. The project is an urban billboard, easel, and canvas that can be tagged or painted by local Charleston artists.

After the life of the project, instead of being discarded, the follie will be reconfigured into an actual usable table or skateboard ramp that can be distributed to community groups and business sponsors around the city.

This table combines with a skateboard ramp that could be used by the skateboarders already present at the underpass known as the “Charleston Low Line”. The ramp is constructed in an unconventional way in that it uses the structural system of the picnic table as the means to build. The installation can provide multiple functions such as sitting, talking, and skateboarding.

AN ANALYSIS OF VILLA MALAPARTE

Team: Andrew Collins & Amanda Kristoff

This 3D printing exercise explored the spacial and formal characteristics of the interior, exterior, and the natural surroundings of Villa Malaparte. Built in 1938 by the Rationalist architect Adalberto Libera in Punta Massullo on the Isle of Capri, the villa is considered to be one of the best examples of Modern Italian architecture. The house sits 32 meters over a cliff on the Gulf of Salerno. It is completely isolated from civilization, only accessible by foot or by boat. While monumental, this house still creates a harmonious relationship with nature and does not disrupt its environment.

WHERE SKY MEETS EARTH

I furthered my exploration of my foundations ruled surface model by designing an open aired structure at the top of a mountain site as a destination for visitors to rest and reflect on their surroundings. Experimentation through study models and various plan drawings allowed these arch shaped ruled surface models to develop into a dome-like structure that provides entrances, sky views, and stunning look-out points throughout the structure.

ARCHITECTURE THROUGH THE LENS

URBAN SENIOR LIVING CAMPUS

Atlanta, Georgia | June 2019 - July 2020 | Rule, Joy, Trammel, + Rubio, LLC

This project, located in Atlanta, GA, is an expansion of a current senior living facility and totals 14.13 acres. The project consisted of three major components: a healthcare building, an independent living building, and renovation of the current existing common spaces. All new construction (and interior renovation) was Type 1A non-combustible construction. Drawings and renderings are all produced in collaboration by a five-person team.

The Independent Living (IL) tower is all new construction. The building is ten stories over most of its height with a step down to four stories at the eastern and to suit zoning over three levels of parking (296 spaces). The building has 102 units from 1 Bedroom to 3 Bedroom units and also hosts a bar and restaurant on level 2 with break out space onto a large amenity deck.
