Professor: David Pastre Duration: Semester long Project Team: Geoffrey Powell, Landon Hannah, John Owens, Mia walker, Michaela Chrisman, Brittany Lapple, Daniel Cassanova, Xander Pagayon, Maddilyn Riester, Kayla Pratt, Lauren Praeuner, Baker Roddey, Courtney Wolff Digital Model | Revit + Rhino Rendering | Vray + Photoshop + Illustrator Project Description The Adrmore Neighborhood Park Pavilion was based in the West Ashely portion of greater Charleston, South Carolina. The deisgn process aimed at interacting and serving the needs and desires of the Ardmore/Sherwood neighborhood. Being a community design build, the second portion of the studio focused on undergraduate and graduate students designing, fabricating and physically building a structure for the entirety of the semester. Along with our design goals as a studio, we were afforded the privlege of working with The City of Charleston Parks Department and The Charleston Parks Conservancy, as well as many other members of the community to realize our visions. We are extremelly grateful for their donations, energy, thoughtfulness and dedication to helping us achieve the very best for the West Ashely Community. This area is also part of a master plan project to connect the West Ashley bikeway with our design. Over the next few years there will be several additions including benches, sidewalks and native vegetation.

01 CONCEPTUAL The left side of this page details the individual design stage of the studio. My initial thoughts were to break up the program needs of the structure with individual roof sections. A bigger slab area intends to be the meeting point between a previous studio project and the new site. pulling from tidal vernacular in the areas around Charleston, the build itself was meant to appear lightweight but sturdy in design and guide runoff from hotter humid months into a rainwater garden. The garden doubles as a bench seat and disperses the excess into a rentention pond adjacent to the site. W Epage S T AisSone H L of E Ythe A final RDM O R E P of AR K The right side of this iterations the project in model form. It is a variation of a tradtional gable roof pavilion. The spine is split into a duality of roof program, with the south facing slope a 3/12 green roof and the north side and undulating standing seam roof starting at a 2/12 incline and finishing at a 4/12 incline in the northeast corner.

6. First Studio Concept Design Model

01 FABRICATION This part of the project was towards the end of the semester. After our final conceptual designs were approved by various groups following our studio’s efforts, we began to make construction documents and shop drawings to detail how we would build the project from start to finish. Our design utilizied steel in every connection point, and every single weld was done by members of our studio. I have experience in mig-welding and was given a lot of the metal fabrication responsibility on the project. This included slab to column connections, beam fabrication, spine connections, bench and table connections and lateral supports. The studio’s process was cutting flat bar hot rolled steel into sections, making a jig according to shop measurements and welding peices together until completion. I helped make the rebar plan for our slab pours as well. We had two seperate pour situations which inlcude a single and a double turn down. We were able to over assume structural support by spacing the grid 18” apart on center. We cut, shaped, and tied together the grid on site as seen in the phtotos.

On top of fabrication, planning and helping to make Revit drawings, I was also in charge of maintaing the project’s budget and communicating with various vendors for the project’s material list. This included talking with, and comparing quotes with several steel and lumber yards. We stayed under budget for the project.

RISE

Project Description RISE attempts to reclaim transistional housing in Fairbanks, Alaska, for Native women who have become victims to domestic violence. This design proposal seeks to offer a housing hybrid that is tuned to the needs of the women and children victimized by multigenerational abuse and trauma. We chose a forested site along the Chena River that connects deeply to vernacular roots of the region, while allowing the design to lean into natural pressues architecturally, such as glacial retreat. By paying respect to the typologies of the region, and adhering to a re-use and reclaim strategy, the bulding will host these users in a safe and sustainable manner. The sites programs and spatial courtyards provide a direct passage towards generational healing, while maintaing a safe distance for community integration. The general proposal includes 60 bedrooms for all ages, an emergency medical clinic, therapeutic spaces, educational clasrooms, a gym with a running track, a vertical farming program, greenhouse spaces, and four outdoor courtyards totaling around 60,000 square feet on 3.16 acres.

This is the south side section of our model. It gives a better view into the public to private gradient that is showcased in the courtyards. This being a shelter for victims of domestic violence, we adhered to the safety concerns by providing a series of courtyards protected by the sites volumes, that also utilized inspirations from the vernacular typologies in our studies.

Figure 2 represents the rising of our volumes in areas. This is a direct response to the Athabascan food cache shelter, where food is stored high above predators. Our building is raised against two predators. Rising glaciel retreat that floods from the adjacent Chena River, and potential abusers who might attempt to re-engage with the victims of our site.

Figure 3 represents the lowering of our site in several areas. It might be unintuitive at first to lower our building into the earth, especially considering our site is in a permafrost zone. But, this lowering is inspired by the Athabascan deng house, and we have designed spaces that collect heat from a geo-thermal well system, and also helps to protects our site from previously stated intruders. Along with the lowering, there is an added feature known as a thermosyphon, which extracts heat produced from our volumes in the earth, and radiates it into our courtyards, making the spaces habiatable in the winter, and the permafrost layer intact always.

MYCOFOAM BUSINESS UPCYCLE

TRANSPORT HAY

Along with a mindest towards the region’s culture and traditonal roots, we also implemented a heavy awareness of sustainability and minimizing our footprint of construction and materials. We used a mycofoam insulation that is grown on site in our first volume, which is dedicated to vertical farming. This model provides an abundance of revenue to keep users focused on healing. Over 97% of foodstuffs are imported in from outside of Alaska. This model along with the vertical farming components provides food and money for the site and Fairbanks. Mycofoam is compromised of completely natural materials that grow without artificial energy making it a sustainable all life cycle product insulation that does not need treatments against fire, unlike traditional polystyrene panels.

Project Description Craft Asheville is an attempt to create a textile design school with accomodations for students and residents of the greater Asheville region. The chosen site location, next to St. Lawrence Basilica attempts to widen the epicenter of downtown Asheville while creating a transcendental architectural experience through space, light, techtonics and community connections. Our design proposal centers around an axial condition of our site. One linear line coming from the center of downtown, the Grove Arcade, and two from the northern neighborhood side of Asheville. From this axis we developed a park in front of our site that enhances the walkability of downtown Asheville. The pedestrian bridge follows the line of the other axis and offers residents of the neighborhoods around Asheville to commute to town using bikes and their legs.

02 The program is divided into two buildings. The larger building is designated for academic spaces, while the tower is designed for housing. Both have entrances at the angle of the building allowing the outer screen to curtsy like a dress. There is an underground garage for teachers and others who decide to drive to the location.

Asheville, like many other cities, faces issues with homelessness, which led us to include housing opportunities for low-income families and individuals within the facility. There are several programs on the site that create jobs for this user group.

The ground floor of the school has a research facility that is centered around utililzing different textile techniques to develop new forms of clothing. The intention is to have a sustainable upcycle of materials for sale. By developing a relationship with local farms and breweries, in the region, to help source raw, organic materials for this research, the site hopes to develop a communal condition between the school and Asheville.

For the project, we were inspried by two textile operations: knotting and blending. The blending concept came from our study of the modern recyling process of leather. This process breaks down the leather into a fiber and blends it to produce refabricated leather hides. With knotting, we realized that most knots are interlaced in and out of the knot itself. These two operations led us to design our project around blending and interconnnecting various program spaces, both spatially and architecturally.

02 The main rendering on this page shows the back entrance bridge to the textile school. It is a direct link from the adjacent Asheville neighborhoods to the heart of downtown. This connection re-locates the focal point of regional commute to the historic and shopping districts. The far right is a detailed structure model of the housing tower. Done in conjuction with our second structures course, we select beams, girders, and columns that were appropriate for loads, as well as efficient in cost. Based off research, we knew that wind loads above a certain height had to be accounted for. We should a skeleton shaft concept for that reason. It provides a reinforced concrete core, where steel members can branch out from.

Project Description This project was a an attempt to model Santiago Calatrava’s Alamillo Bridge in Seville Spain. The Bridge Tower and road way are 3D printed, with the land portion of the model is cast in place concrete. With the use of a dremel tool, I placed guitar strings through the tower one by one to mimic structural tension on the bridge.

05 These are process photos of our project. We substituted a mirror glass for the river that flows underneath the bridge. We made our concrete mold out of MDF. This project two approximately one month from start to finish.

Project Description This residential project in Charleston was a joy to work with. My mentor and boss, Kevan Hoertdoefer gave me design freedom with the central staircase of the project. Being that the site was on deep water, I wanted the shadow of the late day sun to mimic the natural context. The steel spindles are 3/8” thick flat bar steel that mimic marsh reeds. The entire assembly including the stringer and supporting steel connections will be assembled as one unit. The piece will go up at sometime this year. The build starts sometime this spring.

PERSONAL

BELTS

Type | Personal Materials | Shoulder Hide + Dye + Neatsfoot Oil + Thread Tools | Strap Cutter, Edger, English Point Tip Punch, Oblong Punch, Stitch Punch, 2 Size Hole Punch, Round Maul, Burnisher

Project Description Through my times working in Wyoming and Orgeon, I was able to learn the craft of leathework. I first picked up the profession through the leatherworker at Triangle X Dude Ranch in Moose, Wyoming. I learned enough from him to get me started, and since then have developed my own techniques. Pictured are belts I have made over the years for myself. I have been fortunate enough to use this skill to improve my finacial situation while I navigate my academic career.

CHAPS

Type | Personal Materials | Chap Leather + Shoulder Hide + Dye + Neatsfoot Oil + Thread Tools | Strap Cutter, Round Knife, Edger, English Point Tip Punch, Oblong Punch, Stitch Punch, Round Maul, Burnisher, Quick Rivet Set, 3 Size Hole Punch

Project Description I designed this pair of chaps for myself over the winter of 2019. Traditionally chaps are designed to hold warmth, and provide protection from brush and rope burns. This pair was used in Wyoming on mule pack trips into the wilderness adjacent to Yellowstone National Park. They were also used at Phillips Cattle Company in Baker City, Oregon in the summers of 2019 and 2020. The conchos and brass hardware are designed by a metalsmith and saddlemaker out of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. All hardware is brass to match my saddles brass stirrups and connection points. What is referred to as the ‘yokes’ of the chaps, are designed and inspired from the outline of the Grand Tetons. This set of yokes in particular showcase the view from the leathershop I learned in. The entire pair were built in the same shop. Assembly time was approximately one and half months from start to finish.

PORTFOLIO

Type | Personal Materials | Double Shoulder Hide + Dye + Thread Tools | Strap Cutter, Box Cutter, Edger, Scissors, Stitch Punch, Round Maul, Burnisher, 3 Size Hole Punch

Project Description This is the physical portfolio I made to house the work I used to get into Clemson’s graduate program. These are all process photos taken in the fall of 2017. I used 9-10 ounce weight doulbe shoulder hide, that was then sectioned off into an 8.5” x 11” landscape orientation for the portfolio. The spine is a custom piece of hard canvas from Hartnack and Company out of the United Kingdom. Chicago Screw posts hold the contents together.
