PERSPECTIVE VIEWS | “Trapèze dans le Disque”_Felice Varini_La Colle sur Loup, France_Private Collection_2010
CONSTRUCTED AMBIGUITIES THESIS Through a process of thickening surfaces, new masses are revealed and are split into portions using the conical projection. The sections of the conical projection - the center and the outer ring determine which portions are eliminated from the composition. This procedure repeats itself resulting in a collision of masses and the seperation of spaces, while still having a clear relationship. The viewer’s perception of these spaces is simultaneously both clear and unclear. From any one location, the viewer has a clear idea of the perceived spaces, however, as the viewer moves through the spaces this perception changes, resulting in a disconnect between individual perceptions. The constructed ambiguity is found in the disconnection of how the space is perceived from different views.

ARC 355 SPRING 2012 ANNE FILSON ALGAE PRODUCTION INCUBATOR
In order to produce a functional work environment for algae entrepreneurs, it was important to understand algae production and the site specifications of this prosperous enterprise. The site is on the northern end of Lake Herrington in Mercer County, Kentucky. This unique location sits between a coal power plant that produces 20% of Kentucky’s electricity and natural landscapes enjoyed by boaters and nature lovers.
With the investigation of algae production and the site I created an algae incubator that responded to the environment. I found that the incubator design could be mimicked in the form of space and from this idea I manipulated the terrain to create a habitable place for humans as well as a landscape for the harvest of algae.

BURTON FLAGSHIP STORE
BURTON FLAGSHIP STORE The project sought to find an understanding of the implications of formal strategies and to develop new architectural models that respond to the relationship of form, program, and circulation. I was to answer how the development of my formal strategies influenced an identity and the composition of the internal structure. The site is in Chicago, Illinois on Michigan Ave. which is a major shopping district in the city. With my choice of creating a Burton Snowboard flagship store, I decided to focus on a podular massing strategy. By prototyping the idea of a podular system I was able to design an architectural model that responded to how formalism affects the internal fabric.

Option Two
BAUHAUS VISITOR CENTRE The Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany recieves many visitors throughout the year that want to experience the history of Modern Architecture. While the visitors are able to tour the Bauhaus, they are not able to view all of the artifacts that the archives hold. In response to this issue, our study abroad course focused on the design of a visitor’s centre and art gallery. The site is located at a major intersection in Dessau, at the corner of Gropiusalle and Puschkinalle, which is down the road from the Bauhaus. Because we had to create both a visitor centre and a museum my coworker and I developed the concept of two options. This consisted of a short term portion of the building and a long term portion with a transitional center. The facades of each portion are quite different, so that the visitor can easily tell the difference between the two. My Role: Design, Digital/ Physical Modeling, Drawings

TRIANGLE FRATERNITY HOUSE C Triangle Fraternity is the Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science fraternity on the University of Kentucky’s campus, and the members currently do not have a residence. The studio as a whole had the responsibility of designing a residence for Triangle Fraternity with a main focus of developing a project that is LEED certified. The studio was broken into teams of two and each team was given a portion of the fraternity house to design. My partner and I collaborated to design the kitchenette/ laundry & dining hall of the house. In addition to designing a portion of the fraternity house, I developed green roof research that was applied to the final design of the home. My Role: Design, Digital Modeling, Drawings, Research

The initial idea for the development of this program was to create a way of connecting the public realm of the lobby and entry foyer, with the semi public dining room and private kitchen, while still allowing them to remain as an individual program serving it’s purpose. In order to do this, the idea of “bridging” was spawned as a means to connect the two spaces together.

One of the goals for this project was to achieve a LEED Platinum rating and to maintain a net-zero: energy gain to consumption ratio. Green Roofing is a major player in the world of eco-friendly environments and sustainability. Through green roofing, we are able to re-plant and grow land that has been taken away from a sight, due to excavation and construction.

The “1000 Dolls Exhibition,” held in Lexington, KY, commissioned my architecture elective, ARC 599, to produce doll podiums. I designed my podium with a doll’s hair in mind. It is constructed out of plexi-glass, piano wire, and fishing line.
