FOREWORD Hello, My name is Ethan Marshall Guthrie. I am an artist, a musician and a writer; the owner and designer of this portfolio. I am proud to say this is the compilation of my design work during my five years of study at the University of Tennessee College of Architecture. I absolutely love Architecture and Design, these have been formative dialogues that pushed me to grow in all facets of my personality. I have gathered the best of my work to display in this book, and have learned to appreciate the trials that come with cataloging. As much as these are artifacts of my craft, they are also memories, of which I think very fondly of. Thank you for indulging my thoughts on Architecture, please enjoy my work. Sincerely,
Ethan Guthrie

SUPER BOOLEANS STUDIO: Fell Swoop Opera House Knoxville, Tennessee Prof. Maged Guerguis 2018 SUPER BOOLEANS STUDIO was an exploration of boolean processes in Rhino 3d and physical modeling. The project is on the old Pryor Brown Garage site in Knoxville, Tennessee. The goal was to further establish the Knoxville “Arts District� and provide a home for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.
Drawings and Models: Fell Swoop Exterior Render The dramatic night shot instigates a theme for the project. One of theatrics and emotion, a grand place brought back down to the human scale.
Fell Swoop Model Photos The site for this project, oddly enough, is set on the site of the old Pryor Brown lot. The very same lot my first foray into design was sited at. This massing model was 3d printed to exhibit the subtractive booleans that defined its shape.

Models: Boolean Process Models The boolean process in math or logic operations, is a search for one of two outcomes, true or false. However, In 3d modeling, to boolean is to use one shape to subtract its form from another shape. These artifacts are the products of hand booleans, plaster casting, and digital booleans resulting in a 3d print.

FIRST YEAR SUMMER STUDIO: Rosewood Musical Toy for Children Prof. David Matthews 2016 The task that was given to my cohort of first year designers, was to construct a toy that fosters the education of a young child. I researched the materials that were best for children, from a tactile and educational standpoint, and landed on wood. The common plastic toys of modernity are mere reflections of the objects they represent. They are virtual in nature and offer little other than assumed “safety”. To make a toy with wood is to appeal to more than just convenience and safety.
Models: Rosewood Musical Toy for Children The toy is made of rosewood, picked for its hardwood and musical properties. The toy was constructed by slicing the wood in half, then dividing the half into the “keys”. These keys fit into notches that are drilled through to pin each key with a wooden rod. One of the three rods can be removed to strum and play the instrument.

FIRST YEAR SUMMER STUDIO: First Year Modeling Explorations
Models: Two Cuts, 2 x 2 The result of a minimal prompt exercise designed to push creative outmaneuvering. The shown form was truly produced using only two cuts on a band saw, but I did sand extensively to produce the four pieces.
Paper Folding Final Through iterative processes a final paper-folded form was produced to hold a large branch as a proof of concept and skill for this semester of making.
Boolean Mill pt. 1 The rough mill of a simple boolean through a 3d box.
Boolean Mill pt.2 The second mill of that same boolean cleaned up, and hierarchically lifted with the usage of color.
Early Musical Toy for Children This was one of the first iterations of the final toy, and was also good practice on the band saw.

FIRST YEAR SUMMER STUDIO: Color Exploration These early color studies dominated my first year in design school, yet they paved the way to understanding materiality and its connection with the built environment.
Products: 1/2” Square Color Cascade The prompt was to fill the 18” x 24” page with 1/2” magazine-clipped colored squares. My interpretation of the prompt compelled me to fill the page completely, allowing for no space. Three hours into the construction at 11 pm my parents began to help me for the next two hours pasting little squares to complete this project. Ultimately the completion of this paper ending looking less interesting than the students who gave up on the project.
Music Box Color Cube This cube exploded in form and color from a 2d drawing of a piece of music. A certain 80’s poprock song was the inspiration for this piece.

FIRST YEAR SUMMER STUDIO STUDIO: Historic Pyror Brown Garage Maker-Space Addition Knoxville, Tennessee Prof. David Matthews 2016 The prompt for this project was to create a “maker-space� for the Knoxville maker community and to revitalize a historic parking garage.
Models: Pyror Brown Addition: Complex The compilation of all the parts of the project model, combined with the site and the Pryor brown produced an artifact that clarified the proposed construction of a maker-space in Knoxville.
Pyror Brown Addition: Structure This model explored the connection of floor to wall.
Pyror Brown Addition: Mass This 3d print was an early foray into additive construction.
Pyror Brown Addition: Skin This is the final model made to understand the relationship between skin and form.

Implicative of design, food exists, and is talked about, in extreme parallels to architecture. The project was inspired by the food: Yorkshire Pudding. Yorkshire Pudding is an kind of miniature soufflé food that acts as a base for roast meat and gravy.

This drawing encapsulates the process of making, displaying, and ingesting Yorkshire Pudding. The inspiration for this drawing came from the lines in Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), “If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”

Food Pyramid Protein Program The initial model was deconstructed and reconstructed in an attempt to reorder the organization of a food pyramid or the course of a meal.
Formal Study: Physical Modular Cubism The issues of, segmenting the cube and subtracting the excess, are built into the models. Rearranging them allowed me to study contextual relationships of “object“ to “object“.

BAUHAUS 100 STUDIO: TEEHAUS und GRUNHAUS Rosenthal Porcelain Factory Selb, Germany Prof. Heike Butner 2019 I studied at the BAUHAUS in Weimar, Germany for 5 months in 2019. This year was the 100th anniversary of BAUHAUS. I had the honor of participating in their 100 year Summary, a presentation to the public of that semester’s work. The semester abroad was defining for me as a person and a designer. My team and I dove into the rich history of BAUHAUS and the Rosenthal Porcelain Factory.

THANK YOU Hello again, I would like to take this space to say thank you to my parents and grand parents for putting me through school. Without them I would have never made it this far. Thank you to the professors who gave me the skills to put this book together and fostered my growth in Academia and in life. Lastly, thank YOU for deciding to pick up this portfolio and give it a look. Without you I would have no audience. Thank you so much,
Ethan Guthrie
