Table of Contents Introduction Architectural Projects Competitions NOMA Solar Decathlon ACSA-AISC Steel Design CRIPE Fabrication A + FORM
Introduction
This selction of design projects represent a few of the projects created over my time at Ball State University, each addressing its own issue. • NOMA addresses a modern addition to a historic renovation. • The Solar Decathalon addresses the issues of abandoned infrastruture as well as low cost, net zero living. • ACSA addresses how to rethink border crossing stations to be less intrusive, efficeint, and architecturally pleasing. • CRIPE addresses the issue of migrant worker housing in California. • A+FORM explores different surface conditions, digital and physical fabrication, and construction methods These design projects are sub divided into two sections: Competitions and Fabrication. Competitions includes both conceptual works for competitions and final entry works. Fabrication includes a large scale fabrication project produced for installation.
Competition NOMA Student Design Competition Arch 302//Spring 2014
The NOMA Competition for 2014 focuses on a restoration of the Divine Lorraine Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. These conceptual works focus on the addition, comparing the ideas of historical beauty and modern beauty in architecture.

Solar Decathlon
Substratum: A Foundation for Infill Housing Arch 401//Fall 2014
Substratum is an idea for infill housing to abandon structures, in this case, the Brewster Douglas Towers in Detroit, Michigan. Substratum pushes the boundary of the Solar Decathlon, to create low cost, high performance sustainable housing. The most sustainable building is the one that already exist. Inserting into an existing structure dramatically reduces the initial cost. An individual would buy or rent a “slab” from the existing structure and retro fit using a 4’ x 8’ module. The roof of the existing building would house a frame structure to allow for suspended decks from steel cables, as well as house an array of solar panels. The ablility to customize puts the cost into the owners hands.

Vicinity Map + Circulation Map
Atlas explores the idea of a border crossing as a permeable membrane; a space that is transition rather than destination; an subtle but guiding force of movement. The experience begins by submerging the approaching traffic from Canada, guiding it underneath the existing community to maintain existing street flow above. Approaching the crossing, it slowly rises to meet the ground plane, pausing to open up and momentarily engulfs the traveler in Detroit’s essence at the first checkpoint. Through this first level of security, various pathways funnel through the site and building, bisecting its core, then release travelers into the rest of the city.

TOPOS: a meaning- "place" Through the parameters of environmental factors and the zonal arrangement of the site, an adaptive relationship between topography and dwelling occurs, and evolves in response the dwelling type and the environmental factors acting on it. Beginning with a base map, various other factors are entered into the equation as they are considered and came to re-inform the original topography base map. From this, came a density massing for housing and shared service buildings, and from the interstitial space came various levels of circulation throughout the site..

The CRIPE Competition was designed along the guidelines of the Breaking New Grounds competition. Breaking New Ground is an international design and ideas competition addressing the urgent affordable housing needs of farmworker and service worker families in the Coachella Valley of California.

NATURAL LIGHTING + ENGERGY PRODUCTION Orienting each dwelling in approximately the same southern direction for a uniform design to account for natural daylighting of the interior space. This also allows for maximum southern orientation for energy collection using GreenSun Energy solar panels, a new type of panel that uses 80 percent less silicon than traditional solar cells and can be used in direct or indirect sunlight.
COOL AIR
WARM AIR
AIR COOLING + CIRCULATION Nestling the dwellings into the side of the designed slopes + use of a solar chimney allows for maximum use of the thermal mass of the earth for cooling. In this environment, earth tubes, which pre-cool outside air for indoor use, must be embedded into the earth at least 10ft underground. Each "mound has an interconnected series of earth tubes attached to each dwelling in the mound.
WATER REUSE + LIVING MACHINE Integration into the sloped system allows for natural water pressure as it runs from the top of the mound to the bottom. From there, the opposite, uninhabited side of the slope is used to house a series of botanical "living machine" gray + black water treatment cells, which can then either be pumped back up and recycled through the dwelling units for non-potable uses.

Fabrication
A + FORM 10 Student Class Collaboration//Arch 581//Fall 2014//Co-Designer/Leader
For 15 weeks, eleven architecture students and one architecture professor met every Wednesday evening to develop a project that utilized techniques and technologies closely associated with digital fabrication. Weeks of intense discussion and pin-ups would ultimately result in a comprehensive solution to the exploratory ideas presented in class, as well as introducing us formally to means of rapid prototyping, troubleshooting and, in the end, successful assembly. The final design is a product of hands on experimentation, thoughtful execution and more importantly strong student collaboration with clear objectives for both the present and future of the exhibition.

Design A+Form represents a static state of a kinetic design. In the initial design, each vertices’s was a kinetic point in which the form could then deform. This design represents the optimal state for aggregation of the same form with itself.
Experimental Representation
Fabrication Ball State’s CNC Mill was used to fabricate A + FORM out of 1/2” MDF. In order to create the correct chamfers, the MDF was cut on one side, flipped, and then cut again.
Construction
Step-by-Step Construction + Final Aggregations
A + Form was constructed using a low tech components to create a complex design Hinges were used to piece each panel together. The object’s edges were then filled using Bondo.
Documentation The next series of photos document the proccess studies through the final installation of A+FORM.
