BIOGRAPHY Paul J. Hauer Born: Phoenix, Arizona Grew up: Fairbanks, Alaska Education: Alaska military Youth Academy- High School Diploma University of Idaho- Bachelors of Architecture, Masters of Architecture The play between form and function has always fascinated me. This is what originally drew me to architecture. Being the son of a plumber, I grew up in and around mechanical and fabrication shops which gave me a strong hands on experience and an understanding on how things are designed, prefabricated, and assembled. This understanding combined with a affection and capacity for art has made architecture the perfect profession for me. In 2004 I decided to continue my education at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and the then transferring to the University of Idaho the following year to pursue a professional degree in architecture. My education has been long and sometimes frightening but ultimately a very rewarding experience in which I not only learned the skills of an architect but learned exactly what I am capable of. In addition to learning my capabilities, education has given me time to figure out what kind of person I want to be and how I want to use my skills to better the world around me. As an architect I will design buildings that are economically, environmentally, and locally responsible, buildings that are site oriented and integrated into the environment. I want to be involved in designs that fully implement passive, natural systems that requires no energy input and I will to strive for quality, efficiency, and the development of solutions that encompass the many issues that affect the site, community, region, and world. I strongly believe that architecture is much broader than an enclosure, it influences our state of mind and is at the forefront of many of the greatest issues facing humanity today.

FALL 09: INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING BUILDING, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
The Innovation in Engineering Building is a net zero carbon building designed to meet L.E.E.D Platinum. This project was under the direction and guidance of Chris Patano who was the architect on the actual project being built on a site next to the University of Idaho steam plant and across from the street from the engineering buildings. Chris supplied us with four different rough plans about 25% complete. We formed groups of four took those drawings and developed them up to the documentation stage. Our group consisted Mica Ledger, Blanka Rodriguz and myself. The development of the project included plan refinement, program development, structure, envelope components, lighting and day lighting, shading, mechanical, ventilation and heating, lighting and energy analysis.
Within the team, my primary function was that of 3d modeler, systems analysis and overall project development. In addition I designed and developed the main lighting scheme and shading devices as well as the building envelope. The envelope consists of horizontal redwood 1x2” slating and masonex concrete fiber board rain screens, 115/8” S.I.P. panels, and 1/2” gypsum and exposed plywood S.I.P. backing. This gives the wall an R-value of 58.
SITE
Page 5 The site is located on 6th and Line Street on the University of Idaho. Directly to the west of site is the university physical plant that produces all of the heart and electricity that is used throughout the campus. The new Innovation in Engineering Building will use only waist heat from the plant for heating and electricity. The site is also adjacent to Paradise Creek and the Paradise Creek Path. Because of its adjacency to the creek and to have 100% site retention of runoff we used a series of terraced bio-swells to clean any run off prior to it draining into the creek
Page 6 Prior to designing the envelope and determining where to position photo voltaic panels we modeled the site and surrounding buildings to determine what time of day and year shadow would be cast onto the building. This helped us determine how much solar gain the building would receive and how much power could be generate from the roof area.

STRUCTURE
Page 7 The structure consists of two main components, a steel Ibeam frame system and cast in place concrete shear walls. This system gives the structure high strength and rigidness ensuring a long life and survivability incase of a natural disaster. In addition the allows it to be wrapped entirely by S.I.P.s panels making and thermal break from exterior temperatures.
The building is 100% shaded from May 23August 23, tuned to Moscow, Idaho’s semi arid climate. There are several main components that make up the shading system. One the south facade the top shader is angled perpendicular the sun on the summer solstice, June 21 at 53 degrees. The second component is a light shelf that evens and diffuse the light allowing it to penetrate deeper into the space. The third components are horizontal shading devices that does not block the views of the occupants on the ground floor.

Page 10 The interior of the building is laid out in a way to allow light to reach the deepest sections of the building. On the south side of the building there is a two story atrium that runs the full length of the building with windows along the entire face letting in diffuse light into the second story offices and lab work spaces below.
The north face of the front section of the building allows light in through several layers of windows. The exterior most layer is offset from the central hall, over the offices by three foot. On the upper part of the interior wall that makes up the central hall is the second layer of windows. The two layers allow light into the office below and into the hall simultaneously. The final layer of windows is across the hall on the upper part of the wall, light the adjacent space from both the southern atrium and the northern hall.

Page 12 This project was a submission for a national competition that was looking solutions to the United State’s exponential growth of the prison industry. The competition called “Prisoned” was looking for out of the box solutions that address both the prison and the systems that puts people in prison. Under the direction of Associate Professor, Randal Teal, the project started with vigorous study and research. We studied correctional psychology and read Crime and Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Michel Foucault. As part of my research I traveled to the Cottonwood Correctional Institute and interviewed six inmates, and three staff including two lifers. After careful research and study I concluded that the primary reason that our prison population has grown is due to social injustice, evident by a lack of education of the prison population. My focus on the project was to establish a link between education and social change and the circumstances that affect an individuals education. I profiled three individuals and their stories and how they changed

The first person profiled was Able Meeropol. During the 1930s, Able was a Jewish high school teacher and writer in the Bronx, he wrote the song “Strange Fruit” as a reaction to seeing the photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Adram Smith. His song was latter made popular Bill Holiday and was a precursor the civil rights movement. James H. Meredith was the first black man to attend the University of Mississippi and was the second person that profiled. James’s struggle opened up the door for thousands of minorities to the pursue education in the south. The final person profiled was Dr. Richard Pimentel. Dr. Pimentel was and is an advocate for disabled people throughout the U.S. A Vietnam Vet, he lost most of his hearing when a bomb exploded near him. He returned home to find there were no services to help him with his disability and help him return to school. Due to his efforts the U.S. adopted the Americans with Disabilities Act, changing the lives of disabled people throughout the U.S.

SPRING 09: ABLE CHEHALIS
The City of Chehalis, Washington is located south of Olympia about 60 miles along the I-5 corridor. During the spring break up of 2007 and 2008 Chehalis has had major flooding, shutting down I-5 which connects Seattle with Portland and runs the entire west coast, and has twice been declared a disaster area by the State of Washington. There are several conditions that add to Chehalis’s flooding problem. The first is poor planning. After analyzing the flood zone, historic planning,
and current growth, it has been determined that Chehalis has been growing onto the natural flood zone due to it being restricted between hills to the east and I-5 to the west. Within the past ten years many box stores have rapidly built on the west side of I-5 into the flood zone displacing water and flooding the historic neighborhoods to the east and cutting itself off from the city on the other side of the highway.
Another issue that makes Chehalis more vulner- keeps money in the community by keeping the able to poor planning and greatly reduces its market locally owned. ability to recover is that the average income is ten thousand dollars less than the state average and over nine thousand less than the national average. Making recovery very slow and in most cases recovery never comes. My proposal is to provide a local market and fish farm within the heart of Chehalis’s downtown, up out of the flood zone and easily assessable by the locals and a generator of income that

SPRING 07: INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE BLOCK ASSOCIATION COMPETITION
Page 17 The International Concrete Block Association (ICBA), Boise chapter puts on a competition every year with the University of Idaho, Architecture Department to find innovative uses for concrete block. Our professors found a suitable location in Moscow, Idaho for a proposed fire station. For my submission I proposed to to take the concrete block out of it comfort zone and remove it from a compression role and suspend it over glass. I broke up the glass into the same 8x16� unit as the concrete block allowing universal use throughout the entire envelop.
Page 18 A 2� concrete block section made of pavers is suspended over the glass. The section is suspended by vertical and horizontal steel members which is attached to the second floor rim joist.
COMPONENT INNOVATION
FALL 06: SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, ROW HOUSE PROJECT
Page 19 The purpose behind the Spokane Row House project was to design high density housing in a depressed neighborhood in central Spokane and change the neighborhood from a car oriented hard scape into a more residential softer neighborhood that was more inviting for pedestrian use. In my proposal I focused and trying to bring light into the narrow and long foot prints of the row house and to design a system that could be used for remodels and retrofitting of existing structures.
Page 20 As part of the development process I constructed three models and tested the effect of different sized light scoops and pulling the floor planes away from the partition wall in an effort to get more light into the bottom floor.

process began with colageing images with architectural elements. after assembling several compolations we chose the function of each structure based on the characteristics of each collage and the colmination as a whole.
OLD, SAY HELLO TO NEW: the images used in my collages were ruins of european , southamerican indian and western central ameican ruin sites combined with an image of a large vaulted space. after combining the collages we reviewed the product and and decided on the best function of whole. my structure turned out to be a resort built from existing ruins and refitted for modern life.
