235 DELAWARE

Mixed Use Residential 235 Delaware Ave Buffalo, NY, 14202 Design Studio - Senior Competition Faculty: Harry Warren, AIA Partner: Shaun Baranyi Fall 2015

The typical house in Buffalo consists of a yard, living space, porch, and parking. Downtown Buffalo cannot accommodate the space for a yard and a comfortable porch. Within the Delaware District in downtown Buffalo, 235 Delaware was designed to mesh itself directly into Buffalo’s expanding bar and restaurant scene of Chippewa Street, while addressing the lack of green space and opportunities to experience the beautiful views over the city and its waterfront. This structure links living and outdoor space into one apartment. Each unit can be found with almost equal outdoor space as indoor space. Residents can experience outdoor space without having to leave the comfort of their property. Each unit is given a private lawn on the second story which occupants can use for relaxation, barbecuing, gardening, or just simple enjoyment. The yard is divided between private and communal through an operable glass wall which can be open during the summer time and closed during the winter months. Each apartment unit opens to a floor-to-ceiling structured glass wall on its southern facade to allow for optimal natural light. Precedent Studies The Dillon, 2011

MEGASYNTHETIC

Modern Megalithic Structure 4902 Mill Valley Road East Otto, NY 14729 Material Cultures Research Group - Megalith Faculty: Christopher Romano, AIA, LEED Partners: Randy Fernando, Cody Wilson Spring 2017

Fiber is a natural or synthetic substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorporate fibers, for example, carbon fiber and ultra-highmolecular-weight polyethylene. Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for clothing natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic counterparts. Megasynthetic is situated in the context of the astronomical examples, as it serves to draw focus to the energy that the sun provides as the heliocentric part of the universe. Utilizing the sun, the megalith tracks the daylight path until it sets in the horizon where the view is framed by the synthetic composition. The peak moment in which the megalith is experienced is at sunset when the sun’s rays charge the interior and release an aspect of visual performance when it begins to get dark. Emphasizing a day and night cycle that works in tandem with the celestial atmosphere.

BUFFALO CULTURAL CENTER

Dividing Line between Urban and Suburban Conway Park, Buffalo, New York 14204 Graduate Design Studio - Culture Center Faculty: Kenneth MacKay, AIA Fall 2018

The urban fabric of most modern cities is stitched together by all different size needles and threads. Each building seems to be placed on its site, with programs and appearances that do not relate to the context around it. As the city expands it starts to weave itself into the suburban context. Thus, creating different patterns which leave confusing and unwelcome holes in its fabric. These open spaces are tacked together with unrelatable mediums continuing the endless reel into the suburban environment. Demographics have become the modern version of the neighborhood’s edge. Urban sprawl and gentrification push these theoretical boundaries forcing them to shift time after time. By using this study to create a monumental piece of architecture that separates this moving dividing line, like Holl’s Edge of the City, can keep the separation between the urban and suburban Buffalo. Keeping the Old First Ward’s and South Buffalo’s history and present intact. Keeping the urban with the urban and the suburban with the suburban.

SUGAR SHELL

Temporary Thin Shell Structures UB Parker Hall, Buffalo, New York 14214 Material Cultures Research Group - Pulp Studio Faculty: Georg Rafailidis Partner: Blake Kane Fall 2017

A new demand for an architecture that is short lived has become relevant to the way of life during the twenty-first century. A building may no longer need to be a permanent object. From an ephemeral standpoint, the utilization of paper allows for endless construction possibilities. Historically paper products have been developed from cellulose-based substances. Centered on the utilization of the byproducts of sugar cane plants, Sugar Shell creates a temporary structure which recombines sugar grams with the bagasse fibers to produce a form of paper pulp. Bagasse is another by-product of the sugar cane. Bagasse is generally utilized in the production of biodegradable plates for chain restaurants. Through the combination of the crystalized sugar’s rigid micro qualities, alongside the bagasse’s macro ability to reform, the material takes on a new role in design and construction. A project can be driven solely based on the intrinsic qualities of material – rather than forcibly imposing a contradictory scheme. The outcome of the testing was the development of a paper pulp material that could perform as a 1:1 thin shell structure. Continuous testing of the sugar/bagasse ephemeral properties would prove this to be a structure of high strength. The proposal of an architecture with a proportional balance between construct, use, and decay was tested.

Thickness

Each 8.5” x 11” sheet is pressed in a paper mold which results in a thickness of ±1/32”.

Lifted Structure

Once the structure is lifed into place the attached pulling strings and PTEG circles remain in place until the structure is dry. This is to ensure the structure holds its shape and structural properties.

Mid-lift Process

As the sheet is lifted it slowly drags across the floor from 17.6’ x 10.6’ to over 5’ tall it shrivels as it moves

Initial Flat Cast

The initial cast is one a flat mesh mold which cures until stage 3 when it is ready to be lifted. Since the edges are the most exposed to air flow they tend to dry the fastest and deforms the most

Lifting Strings

Although there is many different lifting points, they’re all connected to four main ropes to minimize the amount of people needed to lift the structure into place

Lifting Strings Connection

at each major lifting rope there is a connection point in which all the minor supporting lifting points are connected to. This is to reduce drag and help spread the loads throughout the structure and prevent ripping

CURVING INVOLUTE

UB Anderson Gallery 1 Martha Jackson Pl, Buffalo, NY 14214 Material Cultures Research Group - Cages Faculty: Miguel Guitart, Ph.D. Partner: Cody Wilson Spring 2018

All trees have a twist to them, although when looking at a tree, a twist is indescribable. Yearly, trees cells will develop with a twist counterclockwise, then the opposite the following year. These shifting grains pull the cells straight, back and forth, year by year. A tree will twist when it is exposed to the forces of nature. This twist will forever grow as long as the conditions remain the same. Without fighting other trees for light, this sole tree will slowly grow, twisting around itself to gain strength against the wind. Using the natural grain of the cut lumber, the final module was constructed from 8 bows that were laminated at their ends into a triangular shape. Those shapes are bent perpendicular to their plane and glued at the apex of the bows. This series of laminations are the only joints holding the system in shape. This allows the module to flex and bend while returning to its normal state of flex. The final form of the bow makes a complementary structure. Compliment Structures are systems that balance forces between two joined members. When one member is placed in compression, the other cancels these loads with tension. In the bow, the veneer of the slices holds them in a tensioned shape. When compression is applied to the top slice, the bottom slice compensates with tension. This creates an internal structure that harnesses the unique duel structural properties of the wood. The module creates a natural flow of strips from one module to another. These lines of action are carried through the system when attached. The plates are terminated when not connected to another module, but the possibility of connecting another module remains.

ARCHITECTURE FIRM

Glulam + CLT Structure Allen and Franklin Street, Buffalo NY, 14209 Design Studio - Junior Comprehensive Studio Faculty: Kenneth MacKay, AIA Spring 2015

Focused on the development and the refinement of the ability to generate architectural designs based on a deeper and more qualitative understanding of architectural space. The Architecture Firm can be found on the South East Corner of Franklin and Allen Street in the City of Buffalo. Fixated on a design that was functional for the small site, without obstructing natural daylight to the building nextdoor, this building was designed to be pre-manufactured off-site using CNC milling of the cross-laminated timbers and assembled on-site in a very short time frame. The final design included 80 cross-laminated timber ribs that were connected by joists on all floors and were tied together with the crosslaminated floor that would hold the lateral loads. On both the inside and outside of the building, glass paneled windows on tracks enclose the spaces and keep the wood from weathering over time. Due to the shape of the building and southeastern winds the curves of the building allow for easy natural ventilation systems through windows that would open during the warm months and close during the chilly months so that heat can build up in the winter months between the panes combining both active and passive systems.

GRAYCLIFF VISITOR CENTER

Graycliff House, Frank Lloyd Wright, 1931 6472 Old Lake Shore Rd, Derby, NY 14047 Introduction to Autodesk Revit 2018 Faculty: Melinda Hoffman Spring 2018

The design to the Graycliff visitors center focuses on Frank Lloyd Wright’s use of longitudinal design while allowing for views throughout the building to either end of the sight. The large glass windows capture the beautiful Lake Erie view, while always keeping the Graycliff House in focus. From the use of balcony spaces to the expression of the floor plate, design elements from the original house become evident in the design of the expansion. The gift shop can be accessed separately from the exhibition and event space to allow for different uses throughout the year. The second floor mezzanine of the exhibition and event space looks down onto the first floor creating an open and spacious room which allows for the light to spread throughout the space all year round. Events can be catered in-house with the addition of the kitchen, while the new storage space can hold necessary items from exhibition pieces when there is an event to items from the Graycliff House itself. The basis of this project was to create a structure from the ground up using Autodesk Revit. All drawings, renders, details, families, and schedules were created using only the Revit software.

BUFFALO BENCHES PROJECT Conway Park, Buffalo, New York 14204 42°52’01.2”N 78°52’04.3”W Small Built Works Studio Faculty: Bradley Wales Spring 2016 Part of the Small Built Works Studio, the Buffalo Benches Project was a design-build project specifically designed for The Old First Ward community. Working along with The Old First Ward Community Center students were tasked with different tasks in order to take our individual bench designs and bring them to reality. Other than the design of my bench, tasks I specifically was in charge of were: 1. Researching the most cost-effective and weather resistant wood. 2. Source, Price and order all the wood needed for the studio. 3. Build and maintain the studio website: smallbuiltworks.com As for the bench itself, named Bench out of Shape was designed after the railroad that cut through the Old First Ward in the 19th century. Using 2”x 6” cedar lumbar the open crossing z shape design allows for people to sit or lay on the bench as they please. One could also use the ends to turn around and use as an armrest or a table if desired, or the other way as a backrest. Structural support is held by 1/8 inch steel plates cut to mimic the wood design and is held together by threaded rods. The intended location for my bench is in Conway park right across Ohio street from the new Rowing Club Building which rests in front of the Buffalo River.
