CREATING MAKING LAB

school of architecture fabrication lab Fall 2016 - 5th Year


The Creating Making Lab is an addition to The University of Oklahoma’s College of Architecture, Gould Hall. The lab creates a connection through Gould at the mezzanine level with an accessible roof scape and at the basement level with a grand corridor that runs the entire length of the new program. The corridor is enclosed by windows and glass garage doors, bridging fabrication labs to exterior work spaces. The corridor’s grand scale cultivates collaboration between the different year studios. The Creating Making Lab was designed to showcase the College of Architecture to the rest of The University. The high bay gantry space and robotics lab paired with a public café, exhibition gallery, and a series of viewing mezzanines, functions as an architectural jewel box making a presence on campus with its jutting form. The accessible green roofs lining the outdoor work spaces act as another viewing platform for students to lounge and observe architecture students at work. The Creating Making Lab is a clean and functional addition that creates a much needed connection within Gould and provides the college with necessary equipment and fabrication spaces.

STRATO VERDE

roman theatre and piazza Spring 2016 - 4th Year - Rome, Italy


New Obelisk

Rome, the Eternal City, is composed of layers of ruins from its centuries past. Rather than removing the structures from a prior century, the Romans would build on top, creating historic palimpsests. Palimpsests are something reused or altered but still bears visible traces of its earlier form. Strato Verde contains a gallery exhibition space, outdoor amphitheatre, premier movie theatres, and cinema museum. Strato Verde creates a new green palimpsest, addressing the city’s need for public green spaces, while preserving the site’s historic ruins.

RUIN LAYER

Flooring Steel Grid

Various types of vegetation are incorporated into the design to create a usable green/ communal space.

Steel represents the tablet of the palimpsest. It is the interstitial layer that seperates the ruins and the entertainment spaces.

The ruins are selectively layered on top to create usable space for the public as well as preserving the ruins from the weather.

Site consists of 4 primary layers (Green, Entertainment, Steel, and Ruins)

Steel is utilized as a palimpsest to separate the green layer and entertainment.

Temple of Juturna Temple of Feronia

Existing tower and obelisk anchor the programs to the site and create an axis.

Temple of Fortuna Huiusce

Area of program is determined by the surrounding context of structures and noise.

Functions are extruded in order to better connect to site and surrounding.


URBAN FABRIC Strato Verde connects to its urban context by creating a public green space and a cultural garthering space.

ENERGY Strato Verde’s green roof reduces energy cost, heat island effect, and water runoff.

ACCESSIBILITY The two towers identify and define ADA entries into the ruins and theatre/museum.

NOISE By submerging the building into the site and lining the site with vegetation a sound barrier is created, shielding Strato Verde from unwanted city noise.

TRANSPORTATION The surrounding context of the site includes bus stops, tram lines, and taxi stops; providing easy access to the site from anywhere in Rome.

ENTERTAINMENT Design creates indoor and outdoor spaces for showcasing movies, art, and ruins. Piazza functions as a cultural gathering space.

PANORAMA

student housing complex Spring 2015 - 3rd Year


Panorama is an upscale student housing complex located in the Historic Paseo Arts District of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The district is home to an intermix of galleries, restaurants, art schools, boutiques, and other businesses, all within walking distances of one another. Panorama’s design was inspired by a desire to connect with the project’s culturally rich site. The three-story housing complex is generously spaced with 27,320 square feet. The project includes four-bedroom units and twobedroom units. The first floor is made up of a front lobby, large central courtyard, café/dining area, common area, group study, computer room, gym, staff offices, and mechanical and storage space. The building contains high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows on the façade and enclosing the central courtyard to utilize natural lighting and provide views of the vibrant surrounding site.

PRODUCT DESIGN shelving and lighting design 2nd Year & 5th Year

Window Shelving System Spring 2014 - 2nd Year The project objective was to work within a collaborative team to generate a design for a display case based on full scale materials with an interest in recycled, salvaged, and found materials and demonstrated ideas of grafting. The shelving system is constructed of wooden L-shaped members that are arranged to create three hierarchical spaces and give the illusion of floating. The design produce a dispersion effect by deflecting natural light through recycled bottles and acrylic.


Modular Shelf Fall 2016 - 5th Year The Modular Shelf was fabricated using a CNC router and constructed of baltic birch wood. The shelf is made up of to different sized modular shelving elements that can be arranged and rearranged according to individuals’ needs.

Light Fixture Fall 2016 - 5th Year The light fixture was a study and manipulation of form and digital fabrication. The fixtures form was developed using Rhino software and fabricated out of basswood contoured elements that were produced by a laser cutter. The fixture’s light is diffused by the linear wood fins and a layer of white vellum paper.
