january - may 2011 // professor irene keil // comprehensive sutdio Completed in the third year of architecture curriculum at Tulane University, The Andy Warhol Foundation Comprehensive Studio seeks to engage students in both Schematic Design and Design Development stages of practice. Students spend the first half of the semester focused on site analysis and parti development, and spend the remainder of the semester detailing a curtain-wall system and structural assessment to compliment the initial design phase. Inspired by the Laban Dance Center in London, Polycarb panels shield private offices from the harsh New Orleans’ Sun, while still admitting daylight to the artists inside. To emphasize the public spaces of the project, large glass and hardy-clad display boxes allow Foundation workers and visitors to experience sweeping views of the city while simultaneously allowing the public a glimpse of what’s inside. 6

august 2011 - may 2012 // professor byron mouton// option studio URBANbuild relies upon a comprehensive understanding of New Orleans as a city struggling to redefine itself. This program challenges student designers to both respect and question the architectural history of New Orleans and redefine a contemporary vernacular; URBANbuild is a program of optimism and investment. Students are asked to carefully consider the development of progressive housing proposals amidst recognition of past achievements. Efforts begin with careful observation and acknowledgment of the familiar architectural elements of the area, common materials are identified, neighborhood activities are analyzed and a palette is established for consideration. That palette is both physical and cultural. As students develop dwelling proposals and eventually realize selected options, they gain skills necessary for their professional development while also helping to rebuild the crescent city – one house at a time. 12

wind play summer pavillion august 2012 // professor cordula roser-gray // competition This project was a response to a national competition calling for a summer time pavillion along the coast of Lake Michigan in Chicago, IL. The site, situated between Michigan Ave. and the lakefront bike path, is currently neglected dispite its proximity to the lake and adjacent Grant Park This proposal encourages patron interaction with the pavillion. The facade is covered in large harplike strings whos vibrations create a humming sound when activated by wind or by hand. The form of the pavillion is an extraction of the summer wind rose for this particular area to encourage the wind’s interaction with the sound exhibit. Additionally, the program includes a cafe, performance stage, two art galleries, and multiple garden decks. 20

june - august 2011 // mentor kevin frank // arcadis imagine competition VETA is an experimental renewable energy technology that captures wind energy between buildings in urban areas. The Venturi-Effect is a phenomenon observed in fluid dynamics in which fluids, such as wind, experience an increase in velocity when flowing through constricted spaces. This effect has been observed in major cities across the world as predominant winds are forced through a dense network of high-rise buildings. By strategically placing an array of wind turbines where a dense urban fabric gives way to open landscape, cities can generate a substantial supply of clean, renewable energy that could be fed directly into the city grid, or tied into a seperate municipal system to power public utilities and amenities such as public transit systems, street lights, or public facilities.

ASSISTANCE NEEDED Operating with a $30,000 Research and Development Grant from ARCADIS, the VETA team is seeking an academic partner to facilitate wind-tunnel testing and data analysis. We have identified a test area in Chicago and are currently building a scale model for testing. We are in need of immediate assistance from

f a s h i o n w e e k v i p t e n t november 2011 // professor sheena garcia // theories in digital media This project seeks to explore and express connections with fashion through architecture, engaging tectonic and formal ideas relating to fabric. This VIP tent, intended for New York Fashion week, includes tectonic materizations of the surface that take abstract inspiration from a flamenco dancer and the way her body twists and moves through space. The Flamenco dancer’s dress is critical to the success of her dance. The harmony of movement and costume is celebrated and translated to accomodate the art of fashion design and its influence on society and architecture. This project was a short 2 week experiment utilizing digital media techniques and parametric surface techniques. The undulating surface and resulting aperature could be carefully controlled based on the overall twist present in the overall form. Project memberes include Hannah Ambrose, Andrew Graham, Caroline Meyer, and Shea Trahan., working under the guidance of professor Sheena Garcia. 30

new orleans public library october- december 2010 // professor judy monk // 3rd year studio An exploration of public design in a historic urban context, this public library seeks to add contemporary design and new programming to the iconic New Orleans french quarter. This scheme uses three geometric forms: the circle, the square, and the rectangle, to divide the programmatic elements within the site and around a courtyard and event space. The idea of indoor/outdoor experiences is explored as a common theme in French Quarter living. The exhibition space on the bottom floor of the building extends into the public quart yard that is also adjacent to the indoor Cafe, an arrangement that encourages public interaction and varied uses for the building.

n e w o r l e a n s s i n c e n t r e august -december 2012 // professor graham owen // option sutdio This New Orleans Sin Centre was designed as an exclusive club, catering to paying members of an elite New Orleans underground society. The demographic of this society is interested in escaping the reality of their routine corporate lives by engaging in the unexpected. The club offers a limited public component-- a ground floor bar and caberet-- that masks the provocative activity that is enacted on the floors above. The architecture of the Sin Centre is critical to the patron’s transformation. Access to the club is only granted through “hidden” entrances behind a mirror wall adjacent to each ground floor bar. Behind the hidden entrances the Club Member will experience a physcial and atmospheric transformation. Each floor is transformed through a serious of moving partitions, projections, and props that change on a weekly basis. 42

theCharrette is made up of students who frequently contemplate what it means to study architecture in a city as unique as New Orleans. The potential of Journalism within the realm of architecture allows us to research, investigate, and theorize the future direction of design in a highly impactful profession. Due to the wellpositioned nature of the Tulane School of Architecture within both the larger architecture community and the city, we have powerful resources at our disposal and students who represent differing backgrounds- all converging to form what we call theCharrette. theCharrette is a critical, interdisciplinary, and positive force. It communicates and makes bold assertions. It creates a culture of debate and a voice for which we bring forth our agenda: a medium of ideas that together create a beautiful student magazine.
