Advanced Studio 1 I Society of Rooms I Exercise I LIGHT SPACE MATTER MODULATOR This exercise was a low-stakes, high-gain endeavor intended both as review of some basic design conventions and as provocation for design invention – reminders of the simultaneously material and ephemeral aspects of architecture.

In this case, the modulator was a composition of 8 individual pieces which could be assembled into different compositions, making it an interactive module to play around with.

Advanced Studio 1 I Society of Rooms I Exercise I LIGHT SPACE MATTER MODULATOR

This exercise was a low-stakes, high-gain endeavor intended both as review of some basic design conventions and as provocation for design invention – reminders of the simultaneously material and ephemeral aspects of architecture.

For the second iteration, the materiality of the cardboard was explored as to how it could be broken down into making it a translucent lantern.

Advanced Studio 1 I Society of Rooms I Exercise II THE PUZZLE

The puzzle is an abstract massing study for a hypothetical building.

We concentrate on the relationships between rooms, and the patterns they create, as they interlock into a single smooth volumes.

Advanced Studio 1 I Society of Rooms I Instructor: Mark Cottle HEALTH AND RECREATION CENTER Our program brief for a society of rooms involved a municipal gymnasium and health facility in downtown Atlanta, with all the things, including a basketball court, tennis court, swimming pool, yoga studios, exercise equipment.

The concept involved to try to make a continous green path intertwining throughout the structrue making it transform into a vertical park

The entire complex is a park within itself, with the garden spaces being translated into ramps and stairs on multiple levels.

The structure is designed to be a living organism that grows as it moves upwards similar to a tree. The columns translate into beams which further seamlessly translate into the floor slab making it one cohesive system from top to bottom.

The longitudinal section across the Luckie Street explains the transition of structural loads from the top of the structure. The structure has been designed to act as a sculpture with pieces of wood interlocked with each other creating a waffle in the ceiling being translated into the columns.

Workshop: Digital Site I Media and Modelling III THE SWARM This workshop aimed to incorporate the concept of a site in digital environment. In the first iteration of this object, a swarm of butterflies was chosen as the primary object getting attracted to a undulated plane.

Workshop: Digital Site THE SWARM

THE PROCESS: Geometry: Butterfly, point, and surface Transformation: Create Surface, Divide, Filter lines on the surface randomly,attach geometry, randomize geometry, scale, copy, rotate Functions: Divide, Isotrim, Area, Cull, Random, Scale, Move, Vector, Vector 2 Pt, Rotate 3D

Workshop: Digital Site THE CASCADE

This workshop aimed to incorporate the concept of a site in digital environment. In this iteration, a series of flowers from two points are getting attracted to the interior surfaces of a box.

Final Project: Stage II I Media Modeling I Group Project FLUTTER

The initial motive of this project was to identify a site in the Hinman Building and create an installation that would cater to the site. We develloped a code to create dome-like structures in the park making them experiential.

MOMENT RESISTING FRAMES Integrated Building Systems I Design-Build-Test I Group Project This project was an exercise where we gained a hands-on understanding of lateral force resisting systems called moment resisting frames. This exercise required us to construct a physical model of a 1:12 scale tower that is capable of resisting lateral loads. The task was to analyze and design the tower by performing calculations using visual analysis and hand drawings.

Page I 40 I Georgia Insititute of Technology I Fall 2021

Tower Dimensions: 10” x 10” x 70” Tower Weight: 6.9 pounds Total weight added to structure/Strength: 149 pounds Strength/weight ratio: ~21.6 Maximum deflection of your structure prior to failure: ~18.5 inches

Page I 41 I Georgia Insititute of Technology I Fall 2021

Moment Resisting Frames: The base of the tower has solid walls and measure 10” x 10” x 10”. We used 1/2” foam core floor plates (2 layers per floor) and foam core walls filled with Sika PostFix (expanded polyurethan resin) for extra support at the base. For the moment frame we used 1/2” x 3/4” wooden dowels. Plastic braces 26.5 mm x 26.5 mm (~1” x 1”) were bolted into the wooden dowels and the foam core plates for extra support.
