BACKGROUND Bound by Superior, St. Clair, W. 3rd, and W. 6th, the site is currently under utilized as parking lots. The Make it @ Warehouse District development creates a new neighborhood linking the history to the future, as well as joining the existing Warehouse District to the new Global Center for Health Innovation. The design and program of the space enables users to interact and experiment with emerging and disruptive technology. Hacker Space, Additive Manufacturing, and Cowork space all on site create an incubator for create minds and new technology. Additive Manufacturing creates a link to the Warehouse Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial past while Hacker Space sparks ideas to rival medical technologies showcased at the Medical Mart. Outdoor spaces are designed for year round activity through cold weather strategies at many scales.

Grass mounds create gathering spaces in both summer and winter while, paired with the translucent canopy and street trees, protects the space from strong Lake Erie winds.

Varying textures, elevations, and nooks create a variety of spaces that encourage informal interaction. The central space is surrounded by a variety of programs that inspire collaboration.

Second level green space is dedicated to residents and a cowork club. This space gives residents communal space and covers service area below. Access to light for residents is improved due to elevation.

CONNECTION The program of the site will encourage interaction between the newly constructed Medical Mart and the Make It neighborhood. Focusing on disruptive technologies will allow anyone the ability to design, create and manufacture products that can rival those of the professional medical industry. Because the neighborhood will relate strongly to the Medical Mart, the link in between will need to encourage physical interaction and circulation.

PROGRAM While retail will surround most of the ground floor, cowork space (light blue), hackerspace (orange), and additive manufacturing (purple) will face inward to each other encouraging collaboration and interaction in the exterior spaces between them. Residential and office occupy most of the floors above.

Ground Floor Use

Upper Floors Use

CANOPY The canopy will serve as hub for various infrastructure. Electrical outlets will allow the use of tools and other equipment outside while wi-fi will give internet access to exterior spaces. Infrastructure for water in the canopy will serve as cooling locations in the summer heat as well as irrigation for plants. The shape of the canopy will adjust to serve different purposes in both the summer and winter.

Bound by St. Clair Avenue, the Lake Erie lakefront, East 40th street, and Marquette street, this site on the east side of Cleveland is nearly all active industry. Redeveloping the site required sensitivity to existing successful businesses. The project also heavily considered systems such as storm water and transit. A New Deal-era park is on the north edge of the site, disconnected from the shore by two streets and Interstate 90. An asset directly south of the site is a technical college offering auto mechanic training. Extending rapid transit to the site and creating much needed housing for the Ohio Technical College would serve as the catalyst to redefining the neighborhood while supporting the existing industrial business. My role within the project focused on the new rapid transit stop and surrounding spaces.

Ian Jones / portfolio

Mapping garage doors of industrial buildings allowed the group to see where development would be least disruptive to functioning businesses.

Transit platforms are designed to engage users through sound. By manipulating the sound of water during rainfall, users become aware of the water traveling through the structure. Leading to a rain garden, this interaction through sound serves an educational purpose. Open space next to the park has movable gears serving a variety of functions.

Joint Venture Fuel Cell Research & Design Office Professor Charles Harker / Fourth Year Design Studio II, Partner: Cameron Logan

The Integrated Design Competition entails designing a mixeduse office tower in its entirety. The partner produced design required detailed understanding of zoning and building code as well as building systems and structural calculations. Beyond understanding code and building systems, these needed to be integrated into the building design to reach goals set by the Living Building Challenge 2.0. The project site is located in downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District and is bounded by Penn Avenue to the south, the Allegheny River to the North, and 9th and 7th Street to the east and west repectively. This 6 acre site was further divided into 4 quadrants from which each team could select to develop. Behnisch Architekten’s RiverParc plan was used as the masterplan for immediate site context. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is edging forward as the future means of power for transportation. BMW and GM recognize the importance of this technology’s development and have joined efforts to ensure technological advancements that allow its access to a wordwide scale. This new office tower will host this research and joint venture. Drawing from BMW’s deep foundation in design aesthetics, philosophy, and culture, the office tower will also host a design hub for the company. The building will respond to the surrounding cultural district at all scales and act as a catalyst for activity in the area. Retail and restaurant space will activate the surrounding site and compliment the adjacent residential tower. While dedicated to the advancement of clean energy, the building will use minimal resources through adaptive and sustainable practices and technologies. Efficiencies standards set by BOMA are also met.

The Making of Poetic Space Professor Joseph Ferut / Fourth Year Design Studio I

Ian Jones / portfolio

Objective: 2,000 square foot home consisting of 1,000 square feet living space and 1,000 square feet artist studio space for artist of choice. Location: Chicasaw, Alabama Artist: Vincent Van Gogh The design of the home needs to respond to the needs of the individual artist as well function as a sustainable low-energy home in its respected climate. While achieving both of these needs the home also should create spatial conditions that speak deeply to those who occupy it. The way these spaces translate to the user should envoke deeper feelings and connections to the home.

Van Gogh not only strived to be socially accepted, he envisioned and attempted to construct a social circle of artists working together. Ultimately, Van Gogh’s own lifestyle and psychological battles shattered his dreams and led to a continuous decline in his sanity. The only escapes from Van Gogh’s own destruction were the calm countryside and continuous painting. To design successfully for this character the spaces should cater to spontaneous and constant painting, not soley for Van Gogh, but for guests as well. Van Gogh painted many outdoor sceneries that captured wide and distant views. In contrast to these are Van Gogh’s paintings done while inside his places of residence. These tend to distort the close perspective into an almost fisheye type of effect. This type of indoor painting also exemplifys why studio and living space can be combined.

VERNACULAR HOUSING Dogtrot House – Two separate living spaces connected by a single roof that creates a covered porch in the center. This void encourages air circulation through the adjacent rooms. Built above grade, air can also circulate underneath the house. Cracker House – A single living space, raised above the ground to allow air circulation below the house. The underneath space also served as a place to keep chickens or hunting dogs. A deep covered porch on the front of the house served as protection from sun. Building and window orientation allowed cross circulation. Many homes did not have glass windows and instead used screens and shudders.

SITE The building is located on a slope towards the northern end of the site. By being placed on the hill, rather than after, the building takes advatage of air circulation which would be more restricted at the botton of the slope. This also situates the building within the old growth trees, making it a more integrated piece of the landscape. The house is lifted four feet above ground on the northern side and six feet on the southern side. Entry onto the site is on the west side of the property with the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entry being on the west end of the building. A large southern facing porch is complimented by the framed view of a water feature on the south end of the site. The indigenous trees on the site pinch the cleared land to create a further sense of depth and privacy for the water feature. The water feature is used purely as a visual and perhaps the focus or backdrop for future Van Gogh paintings.

CLIMATE To combat the hot humid climate of Alabama, air circulation is encouraged by different passive strategies. The building is raised four feet above ground to allow air to pass through. The north and south windows can be opened to allow ventilation from the dominating north and south winds. The layered roof acts as a solar chimney that draws air throughout the building, utilizing the Bernoulli and stack effect. The pitch of the roof encourages air to travel up to aid the stack effect. Lower southern windows are heavily shaded while higher southern windows let in deflected light for spaces below. East and West windows are kept to a minimum. Trees hug the west side closely while Wax Myrtle Shrub is planted on the north and south sides of the home, offering its fragrance to the breezes entering the home. The open program and storage serve to aid in ventilation. Double height space in the center allows full circulation up to the Solar Chimney.

Ian Jones / portfolio

PROGRAM An open plan with thin freestanding storage spaces will bring a sense of continuity throughout. Achieving different levels of privacy is dependent on the user. Whether storage space is utilized or left open determines the porosity of space. The way objects are arranged on the shelves may be calculated or spontaneous, resulting in a barrier that can almost be considered organic in form. This barrier can be used with different thresholds. Studio and living spaces can be joined or separated and relationships between living spaces can also be manipulated. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the second story space to give a stronger sense of privacy. Studio space can potentially be hosted here as well.

ROOF DESIGN Building elements, such as a hearth or oasis in their respective climates, like building vernacular itself, correspond to an associated culture. Because these elements serve as an exact opposite to their climates they become the central feature of the home and in turn serve to unite the occupants. It is not only that these elements oppose the outdoor environment; they do so with a quality that is active and more dynamic. This activity is also what centralizes and focuses the occupant. A strong visual element, the roof and ceiling, is what symbolizes the active ventilation within the building.

The roof is composed of multiple layers that allow heat to rise up and exit the building. These are shifted too also allow fresh air to channel into the space dispersing the hot, humid air. These shifts appear straight from elevation yet are given away by deep shadows that expose the folding of each layer. This design was developed to create a traditional immediate sense that then gives way to a deeper complexity.

Because the roof becomes more than just a roof, and because it symbolizes the thermal comfort experienced, the user assigns a quality of affection to that element. And because there are special attributes to this piece, it can be singularized. What defines the roof and its visual reassurance of ventilation is the controlled chaos of the overlapping and folding planes that create the voids which hot air can be removed. While this element is in fact singular, it feels playful. The way air circulates through the building can be imagined by the user, entering through the north windows, wrapping around the second floor space and swiftly being pulled through the roof by the hot air at the top. While the piece is in fact static, it is responsible for constant activity and therefore can bring the user an affectionate relief from the hot humid Alabama climate.

Response through Expression

White Hall Re-Skin Professor Joseph Ferut / Fourth Year Design Studio I

The northern side of campus is the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambassador. It represents the campus as a whole as it settles along the edge of St. Rt. 59. This appearance not only characterizes the entire campus visually, but it represents the quality of the education within the university as well. With a poor visual appeal the campus becomes uninspiring, and uninviting. White Hall is at the center of this northern edge and, because of the large open space before it, is the most focal building along the edge. White Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current facade performs poorly in many aspects. The small percentage of window area and overall design of the facade disengages the interior from the exterior, disregarding any possibilities of utilizing passive strategies. Sun, wind, and light are all ignored while they could all be harnessed. Besides responding poorly environmentally, White Hall responds poorly as a landmark. Its site design creates conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, and its scale needs to be addressed. Redefining entry, passage, and place, and creating a strong image while incorporating passive strategies will allow White Hall to be the image of innovation and progressive thinking. A new corridor will be defined by monumental peices of sweeping glass along the north side, redefining entry and allowing a rhythm to form. The south side will contain thousands of photovoltaic tubes used to harness solar power, deflect sun out of windows and guide air into open windows.

Ian Jones / portfolio

The site will be modified to allow cars to enter the adjacent parking lot easier than previously. Parking under the building is replaced by a new ground floor lobby and library. Pedestrian entry remains the same on the west side while the eastern entry is dropped to the ground floor, continuing the path of egress of those crossing the street from the hill. A ground floor entry is centered on the northern side to add monumentality to the disengaged facade. Further facade design continues this monumentality, allowing the facade to correctly respond to the street and the vast open space preceding the street.

Southern Facade The southern facade receives direct sunlight and consistent south-west winds. Gathering solar energy, photovoltaic tubes ripple across the facade. These tubes are organized in two different patterns that bring rhythm to the facade. While the arrangement of the solar tubes are different, they are both solutions to the facade demands. Not only do both arrays collect solar energy, but they also offer adequate shading and encourage ventilation into the building. Sun shelves within the building reflect light that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shaded, and is instead projected further across the interior space. While the photovoltaics extend beyond the main facade, the tighter repetition and pattern create a more intimate scale. This repsonds to this pedestrian oriented side of the building.

Northern Facade The northern facade does not recieve direct sunlight, therefore photovoltaics and shading devices would be ineffective on this side of the building. Because northern light is very consistent, each room should be designed to have adequate windows and openings. Although the sun never reaches the north facade directly, it still receives air, allowing oppurtunities for ventilation methods to be utilized. A frame extends off the north facade to suspend glass panels that form large sweeping gestures ascending vertically up the facade. These forms encourage ventilation up across the facade and aid in the stack effect. These pieces form a monumental facade, borrowing principles of scale, proportion, and symmetry from classicism. This language communicates strongly from the street, responding to the context of the open space and the busy five lane street. The suspended glass terminates at the second floor, creating a strong ground floor corridor along the edge of the north facade. A central entry strengthens the monumentality of the facade.

Fortezza Da Basso

MEDIATHEQUE

Professor Alberto Francini / Third Year Design Studio - Florence Italy The Mediatheque mirrors the most south eastern corner of the Fortezza, allowing the development of multiple green spaces with different levels of privacy and elevation. The public and controlled access programs are divided by an air space that creates continuity between the green spaces and raises the remaining program above the fort wall. This height allows the Mediatheque to become a monumental structure that responds to the urban context beyond the fort walls.

Ian Jones / portfolio

The Fortezza da Basso will not only host the new Mediatheque, but also connect the city center with the future high speed rail station. Two monumental pieces will mark access and provide the link from the rail to the city. As one travels off of this busy access route they will arrive at a green space in which it is peaceful to stay a longer duration of time. The fort walls are beneficial to this green space as they isolate traffic noise. Most other green spaces in the city do not have this advantage and can not serve as a complete escape from the city tension.

Site Responsive Seating

Professor Kathryn Strand / Third Year Design Studio I

Within the Cleveland Metroparks Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation a site was chosen to modify a users experience by means of a chair. The selected site was directly under a large pipe and against a supporting concrete column near the park bike path. To directly influence the site a chair must extend beyond the usual expectations and limitations predefined in its own identity. This is immediately important to accomplish because the role of a chair is already engrained into the specific site. The site already offers a comfortable place to sit down with back support and shade. Others have been drawn to this site as evidenced by litter left by a previous user. Therefore a chair needs more qualities to justify its placement at the site. The new role of the chair should modify how the user interacts with the site. This modification is the basis of the design and will decide the overall experience. By modulating view the chair can affect the strongest sense of the user and define what should be experienced. Discover, interact, inhibit, filter, exaggerate, and amplify, all describe how the manipulation can function.

Ian Jones / portfolio

Designing to achieve these functions is fine, but they should also accomplish a greater goal. With these manipulations a definitive goal must exist, defining what the person sitting should understand or realize. This goal was provided by considering the site in terms of in between space and the interdependence between the artificial path and natural surroundings. Earlier ideas also took a more critical look at what is truly natural and how the industrial infrastructure and natural habitat coexist. To realize these ideas through the chair it needs to be interactive and dynamic. When the user adjusts positions they can also discover views that allow them to interpret the site differently, limiting for instance, truly natural space, or highlighting industrial areas, relating the artificial with the natural and erasing their boundary and middle ground, the canal. Through these instances the chair becomes more than an object to sit on but instead something that allows one to understand the site in new ways.

Ian Jones / undergraduate portfolio portfolio

HORIZONTAL EXTENSION The chair serves as a dynamic piece encouraging the discovery of different relationships between the industrial and natural. These relationships display interdependence between the two and also allow the user to critically think about what is truly natural and artificial. A new static horizontal extension from the chair will further this type of critical thinking, however a surface that extends in the direction relative to the orientation of the seat will not achieve this goal. Instead this horizontal table will be parallel with the canal as well as suspended above it. A manipulation of perspective will materialize through a set of folds to erase the canal from view, even though the user will be directly above it. Unlike the chair this will entice the user to travel onto and around the plane. In this way the roles of the user and the installation are reversed. While occupying the surface one can understand the likeness of the path and the area of the canal as one space. Not only does this elude to the fact that the maintained grass area and canal are both products of human manipulation but it will also allow one to think of a time before the canal was created and the history from then forth.

Yoga Center

Professor Kathryn Strand / Third Year Design Studio I To understand the program of a yoga studio, actual yoga sessions were attended and then reflected upon in terms of the body and its position within space and time. The experience allowed an understanding of how the user feels within a yoga studio and how that space transforms throughout the yoga session. This transformation, a derivative of the meditative quality of the yoga session, provided a basis to expand and develop within the architecture. Studies developed a wall system that could be adjustable, expanded or contracted, to allow different levels of permeability between program and users. This system also allowed a single space to take on many different traits depending on the arrangement and density of the wall system. Individual spaces could then begin to develop and offer different levels of isolation and enclosure for each person practicing yoga within the studio.

SITE Tremont is a cultural neighborhood of Cleveland that is semi-isolated by three major highways. Known for its restaurants and numerous historic churches, Tremont also has a local art scene and active community. The site is located in the heart of the neighborhood among both commercial and residential buildings. The triangular site is small and the design covers the entire site to keep the building height relative to the neigborhood. The design captures the excitement and emotion of film by different means of interaction and cues for the user.

PROGRAM CONDITIONS The program of the building will set up interactions of people, further creating an exciting and constantly changing atmosphere, and expanding the sense of motion in terms of activity. Groups of people will be able to interact in different aspects: visually audibly physically Interactions that are strictly visual for example will divide groups with glass walls. Audible and physical interactions exist where multiple program lay in one space. Different levels in space restrict physical interaction while allowing a visual and audible connection. A sound permeable partition can limit or restrict visual and physical interaction but allow audible recognition. OCCUPANT PROVOKED INTERIOR Not only will the architecture provoke excitement, the user will create an additional experience through their movement through the interior. The architecture will be affected by the user and vice versa. Live closed circuit video of a persons actions in a given room will be recorded. This recording will then be projected, letting the user experience varient actions from a different point of view. This video can also be manipulated in mutiple ways, to create a completely abstract display that is 100% user created. Manipulations Possibilities: Color, Speed, Delay, Distortion, Inversion, Mixture of Multiple Video

Adjustable space allows the casual theatre to contain larger occupancies.

Ian Jones / portfolio

PERSPECTIVE MANIPULATION A sense of motion in the architecture is achieved through manipulation of perspective. This is achieved by utilizing shapes and lines that mislead the occupant in terms of distance, depth and size, making them question and observe the architecture. The realization of these conditions will offer an ever changing experience and sense of motion.

Biophilic Pavilion

Professor Jason Turnidge / Second Year Design Studio I

Ian Jones / portfolio

The site of the Biophilic Pavilion presents a unique challenge in multiple degrees. The shape is that of a triangle with a curved corner facing a busy intersection. The program also contradicts the site location. A Biophilic Pavilion hosts a natural system, highly contrasting the dirty and loud environment of pavement, concrete and vehicles. The design addresses this site by presenting an organic form to compliment its shape. Organic formal studies in Rhinoceros were applied to analysis in programatic relationships in terms of sound, light, and view. The merging of these resulted in not only strong prgoramatic relationships but also created a unique structural system creating spatial experiences to enhance each area of the program. The structural system combines the column and beam into a singular unit, which is then used in an arrangement to support each floor. The southern facade was developed to protect the pavillion from the harsh street edge using layers of material to dampen sound and filter the view for those looking in and out. Two sets of vertical elements are each offset at different lengths to create an active screen, exposing different levels of the interior to those who walk or drive by. An acoustic glass is used on the exterior to further negate the street noise by means of small tunnels that disrupt sound waves. The conservatory, while on the northern edge of the site, utilizes the courtyard of the building as well as a transparent roof to allow ample amounts of sunlight. This screen also directs rain water down to the western facade which serves as a water catchment for watering plants. The cafe on the southern edge is set into the ground to separate the customers from the street plane.

Personal Towers

Professor Jason Turnidge / Second Year Design Studio I

Ian Jones / portfolio

Developed by stacking a series of folded planes, the resulting unit has 4-Â˝ floors each serving as different types of living spaces. To achieve a light appearance and a sense of connectivity between the levels, an open void in each floor is employed. Each level engages a unique shape to capitalize on and vary the visual linking of spaces. These voids also host all of the stairs within the unit, which wrap around within the open space. Clear and etched windows provide ways for light to enter the unit. The apartment becomes a personal tower for the occupants. The units are aggregated by means of stacking and suspending. Two elevators and stairwells rise up to the top of each unit giving multiple choices of egress for each occupant and are also a structural support for the hanging units. Above the units is a structural frame that also helps support the suspended apartments. Over the frame is a folded plane that covers the entire site. Below the units is a lobby and open market. This exterior space is roofed by the overhead units and gardens suspended within framing inspired by the roof of the complex. This space serves as an open market where vendors can sell goods. An entrance on the south facade of the complex drops down into the market and further up the hill is an entry only for apartment dwellers. This keeps the residents separate and private, if so desired, or entrance can be taken through the market.

Located on Water St. in downtown Kent, Ohio, the design responds to a large flour mill opposite of the site. Nearly reaching the height of the mill, the lightness of the form ensures the building does not impose on neighboring structures. The building height is also offset by the lower elevation of the site as the city slopes downward toward the Cuyahoga River. The organization of units within the site considers the street edge and context while the elevated units benefit with excellent city and river views.
