SHOWERS TEC-HUB

LOCATED WITHIN THE TRADE DISTRICT OF DOWNTOWN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA, IS A MID-RISE PRO-JECT TITLED “SHOWERS-TECH HUB”. THE PROJECT ALLUDES TO THE RICH HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE SITE, AROUND THE PROPOSED SITE, EXISTING BUILDINGS ARE BEING REPURPOSED FOR CREATIVE USE SUCH AS OFFICES, CRAFT STATIONS; MAKING THE NEW PROPOSAL A HUB BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH AXIS OF THE TRADE DISTRICT.

THE PROJECT INCORPORATES TECHNOLOGY IN THE TYPE OF ACCESS CONTROL, THE USE OF SEN-SORS TO REDUCE REDUNDANCY IN BUILDING OPERATIONS AS WELL AS LIGHT POLLUTION, ADOPTS PASSIVE HEAT EXCHANGE STRATEGIES- PAYING ATTENTION TO MATERIAL, THE HEALTH OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING OCCUPANTS, AS WELL AS PROFFERING AESTHETICS FACADE WITH SHADING DEVICES CRAFTED FROM THE SUN PATH AND RADIATION ANALYSIS OF THE AREA.

SITE STRUCTURE

A visit to the site had sycamore tree planted around its borders, most of the roofs in the area picked the language if the sawtooth roof of the shower brothers factory building, the wind level was low and the traffic predominance is about 15d north and south of the site. The building orientation became logical to follow this angle, with openings made to strengthen the view to the existing factory that had been converted to multi-use spaces.

STRENGTH

FLOAT

This proposal envisions the structure as recessed in grade to give the notion of a float. The facade on the north/ south will be dynamic, taking the shape of the sawtooth roof from the shower brother’s roof structure. The east/ west facade will be shaped based on solar carved.

TECHFLOW

This structure is about urban experience around, within and above the buildings. it lays emphasis on pedestrian flow and experience from first floor to the roof level. The core allows circulation, window shopping as well as outdoor dining. Parking is enabled by elevator.

SOLARCARVE

The downtown along the north/south axis pulls in bikers and college students. Beyond the code requirements and solar radiation studies which informed the building form, it was envisioned to reflect a cut basketball (starshape) as Bloomington is home of this sport.

PLAN IDEA

The planing was centered on enbracinng the open view from 10th & madison street.

THE SITE IS NEXT TO NOBLIT PARK, THOUGHT OF WAYS TO MAKE MY PROPOSAL A HABITAT OF NATURE IN A WAY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE USERS, PRESERVE THE MICRO CLIMATE AND BE ULTIMATELY

ATTRACTIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO ITS ENVIRONMENT.

TO ARCHIVE THIS, KENGO KUMA

ECOFRIENDLY HOTEL DESIGN AT PARIS WAS A PRECEDENT STUDY AMONGST OTHERS.

PLEASANT EXPERIENCE FOR THE USER AND OPEN INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC WAS A KEY FACTOR.

DUE TO THE FLOOD CONSTRAINS THE SITE WAS ELEVATED TO 628’ WHILE ROADS ARE AT 622’. THIS OPPORTUNITY GAVE ROOM FOR VIEWS TO BE ACHIEVED ON ALL SIDES AS THE PROJECT MIMICS THE SEMBLANCE OF TREES TO THE WEST WHICH THEN TRANSITIONS GRADUALLY INTO LIMESTONE WALLS AS YOU GO EASTWARDS.

THE EASEMENTS HAVE NO PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION LABEL PER ORDIANCE, BUT THESE BECAME A PLATFORM FOR RECREATION.

THE SHADOW CAST BY TREES AS THE SUN MOVES ACROSS THEM WAS A GREAT INFLUENCE IN DETERMINING THE PATTERN OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE THUS CREATING A MEMORIAL OF WHAT THE SITE WAS AT ITS VIRGIN STATE.

THE PROJECT IS CENTERED ON SUSTAINABILTY, THIS LEAD TO MODIFYING THE BEAUTIFUL EXISTING STORAGE BUIDINGS INTO GARDEN AND OXYGEN SUPPLY FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS WHILE SOME WERE USED AS WORKSHOP SPACES.

THE TEMPLE IS TO BE SEEN AS AN EXTENSION TO I.M PEI’S SCHEME OF CREATING A COHESIVE CIVIC SPACE WITHIN COLUMBUS ALONG FRANKLIN, 4TH & 5TH STREET WHICH WE ARE NOW REFERRING TO AS A CAMPUS. THE PROJECT RESPONDED TO THE ETHOS THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY OUR PREDECESSORS BY FOLLOWING

THE COMMON LANGUAGE OF SUNKEN COURTYARDS, ASYMMETRY, AND DUALITY—A VOCABULARY PREVALENT IN HINDU CULTURE.

THE BUILDING IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL SENSE OF PLACE OF THIS AREA, WHILE STILL PROVIDING A SPACE FOR THE USERS OF THE TEMPLE TO ESCAPE THE TERRESTRIAL REALM INTO THE DOMAIN OF THE CELESTIAL—FINDING IDENTITY WITHIN CONFORMITY.

THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT WAS A 4TH SEMESTER LONG DESIGN COLLABORATION BETWEEN AND ALLAMEL, GUILLAUME, OF WHICH ALL THE IMAGES PRESENTED IN THIS PORTFOLIO HAS MY 90% INPUTES. IT WAS AN EQUAL COLLABORATION WITH MORE INFORMATION (9 SCHEMES IN TOTAL) WHICH CAN BE SHARED IF NEDED.

ITERATION 5 WAS MODIFIED WITH JALIS THAT ENSENTUATES THE RELIOUS SYMBOLS OF HINDUISM AS WELL AS DIFFUSED LIGHTS INTO THE INTERIORS VIA THE FASADE AND A STRIP OF SKYLIGTH.

ITERATION 5 HAD THE MOST POTENTIAL AS IT REFLECTS THE SIMPLICITY OF HINDU RELIGION. THIS ALSO TIES TO THE SIMPLICITY OF THE EXTERIORS OF OTHER SURROUNDING CONTEXT.

FARMERS MARKET

SITE

PROPOSED MASTER PLAN

HUMAN WANT IS GENERALLY IN-SATIABLE WHICH THEN BRINGS US TO THE CONCEPT OF NEED. THE FARMERS’ MARKET HERE IN COLUMBUS NEEDS A SEASONAL DESIGN THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF SHELTER FROM WEATHER AND EQUALLY PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SOLUTIONS;

1. COMMERCE

2. FAMILY FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT

3. ADA COMPLIANT RESTROOMS

4. PRESERVATION OF TREES

IN LIGHT OF THIS, THE DESIGN TACKLES THE NEED TO BE A SEASONAL STRUCTURE AND ALSO INCORPORATE WEATHER ELEMENTS BY PROPOSING A CANOPY STRUCTURE WITH CURVES MIMICKING THE FLOW OF THE TRESS.

THE CHOICE OF MATERIAL HERE IS INFLATABLES- POLYESTER FABRIC PRINTED WITH PHOTO-VOLTAIC CELLS. THIS HELPS THE STRUCTURE POWER THEMSELVES THUS ELIMINATING THE ELECTRIC POLES ON SITE. THIS CANOPY PROVIDES AN EPISODIC EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE UNDULATION OF THE RIBS, THE SIDEWAYS SHIFTS OF THE BAYS, AND THE VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT OF THE CANOPY CURVES.

THE TRANSITION POINTS ALONG THE CURVES WERE TRANSPARENT, GIVING LIGHT RAYS INTO THE BAYS, THE TREE TRUNKS ARE EQUALLY ACCOMMODATED BY THE FABRIC MATERIAL AT POINTS OF INTERSECTIONS, MAKING THE FARMERS AND BUYERS HAVE A SENSE OF AN ACTUAL FARM. THIS REALLY IS A POETIC EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF. (SOFTWARE-AUTOCAD, RHINO, LUMION)

MASTER PLAN

THE PROJECT FOCUSED ON RESEARCH, LITERATURE REVIEWS, AND CASE STUDIES FOR IDPS, THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THE PROJECT WAS AN ICONIC CAMP IN THE ARENA OF MAKE-SHIFT STRUCTURES.

THE ENTIRE THESIS WILLED A CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY TO ACCUMULATE INFORMATION REGARDING THE TOPIC. THE PROJECT ALSO FOCUSED ON DETAILED SITE ANALYSIS AND BRIEF FEASIBILITY STUDY, AND SOLVE EXTENSIVELY EXISTING PROBLEMS. IT CONCENTRATED ON CREATING BETTER PHYSICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THAN WHAT EXISTED AT THE TIME OF THE RESEARCH.

THE CONCEPT ADOPTED FOR THIS PROJECT WAS FROM THE PATTERN OF A CARPET, WHICH WAS DEVELOPED TO GIVE THE SITE LAYOUT WHILE INCORPORATING THE PRINCIPLE OF NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN.

PHILOSOPHY; THE HAUSAS ARE KNOWN FOR COMMUNAL WAY OF LIFE, THIS LIFE OF TOGETHERNESS INFORMED THE RADIAL PRINCIPLE OF DESIGN ADOPTED IN THIS PROJECT (VIDEOS OF THIS IS CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE).

A TOTAL OF 3,600 RESIDENTS WAS DESIGNED FOR IN THIS PROJECT.

ORDER ID ZNR5FWN4UV4TKJ62

DATE 10-17-2023

PROJECT NAME- HIRA

PROJECT THEME- ECO-FRIENDLY INNOVATION: CRAFTING SUSTAINABLE

FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS.

MY ENTRY FOR THE ARCHITECT’S CHAIR COMPETITION EMBODIES TRANSFORMATIVE

APPROACH TO SEATING SOLUTIONS. AMIDST

THE BACKDROP OF THE UNITED STATES’

SIGNIFICANT SCRAP TIRE COLLECTION IN 2019, HAVE PLACED A PROFOUND EMPHASIS ON

ERGONOMICALLY INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES, AND UNPARALLELED FUNCTIONALITY.

BY INGENIOUSLY REPURPOSING MATERIALS

SUCH AS DISCARDED TIRES, WORKSHOP WOOD, AND PLASTIC STRAWS, HAVE NOT ONLY

ADDRESSED ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS BUT

HAVE ALSO ELEVATED THE ERGONOMIC

QUALITIES OF MY CHAIR DESIGN. THIS FUSION OF SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART CONSTRUCTION

TECHNIQUES RESULTS IN A CHAIR THAT

THIS CREATION SHOWCASES THE POTENTIAL FOR USERS TO ENGAGE IN THE CREATION

PROCESS, DEMONSTRATING THAT HOMEOWNERS CAN CRAFT THEIR OWN ERGONOMIC FURNITURE. FURTHERMORE, THE CRADLE-TO-CRADLE USE OF MATERIALS

REDUCES EMBODIED CARBON AND REVOLUTIONIZES WASTE MANAGEMENT

WITHIN HOUSEHOLDS. THIS DESIGN NOT ONLY

REFLECTS THE FUTURE OF SEATING BUT ALSO

REDEFINES THE SUSTAINABLE, ERGONOMIC, AND FUNCTIONAL POSSIBILITIES WITHIN OUR LIVING SPACES.

PRODUCT USE CASE:

THIS PRODUCT WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED

AS A SOCIALIZATION TOOL. THE VERSATILE

PRODUCT WAS ENVISIONED FOR PLACEMENT IN PARKS, BUT IT TRANSCENDS ITS INITIAL

PURPOSE. IT SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS

BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SETTINGS,

MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR DIVERSE OCCASIONS,

INCLUDING OUTDOOR WEDDINGS. TO ADAPT

TO DIFFERENT NEEDS, I’VE INCORPORATED

ADJUSTABLE FEATURES, ALLOWING USERS TO MODIFY THE ARCH HEIGHT FROM TO 7’ AND VARY THE SEAT HEIGHT FOR PERSONALIZED COMFORT.

MOREOVER, TO WITHSTAND VARYING

WEATHER CONDITIONS, PROPOSE THE OPTION OF USING MORE DURABLE MATERIAL OR FABRICATING IT IN METAL. THIS

ENSURES THAT THE PRODUCT

BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND RESILIENT,

OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT IS DEPLOYED.

INSPIRED BY HENRY MOORE’S IMPACTFUL

SCULPTURE, THIS FURNITURE PIECE IS DESIGNED TO FOSTER COMMUNICATION IN PUBLIC SPACES WHILE BRINGING A TOUCH OF INTIMACY TO INDOOR SETTINGS.

ADDITIONALLY, IT’S AESTHETIC APPEAL MAKES

IT A COMPELLING SUBJECT FOR PHOTOGRAPHY, FURTHER ENRICHING IT’S

MULTIFUNCTIONAL UTILITY.

PRODUCTION:

THE CONSTRUCTION METHOD USED TO TEST

THE DESIGN INVOLVES SECURING THE TIRES

BETWEEN TWO 1/2” OSB (ORIENTED STRAND BOARDS) PANELS, COMPLEMENTED BY 2X6X5”

WOODEN FRAME. THE STOOL IS PRIMARILY CRAFTED FROM OSB, WHILE THE BACKREST, MADE FROM 2X6” PINE WOOD, IT FEATURES

A SLIGHT ARCH FOR ADDED COMFORT. THE STOOL SEATS WERE MADE OUT OF OBS WHILE

THE TOP COVER IS INTRICATELY WOVEN FROM

PLASTIC STRAW AND COVERED WITH 12”

DIAMETER ACRYLIC PLATES, PROVIDING AN ALTERNATIVE INTERIOR OPTION. THE ARCH IS AFFIXED TO THE BACKREST USING 1/4” RODS IN A TENON AND MORTISE ARRANGEMENT, SHOWCASING VERSATILE DESIGN EXECUTION.

CONCEPT- THE CHAIR IS INSPIRED BY THE HENRY MOORE SCULPTURE, MADE TO TWIST DEPENDING

ON ITS USE (CLOSELY LOOPED FOR INTIMATE CONVERSATION, SEPARATED FOR FUN FAIR/ OUTDOOR EVENTS)
