Arch 302 - Prof. Wes Janz - Collaboration with Tyler Van kirk
Modularity in architecture commonly has mixed opinions within the design community. Some see it as a lack of innovation and monotony due to the replication of shape and form, whereas others may see it in terms of practicality and easy expandability. For this project, we wanted to challenge the concept of modularity in terms of program, form, and design. In terms of program we aimed to find something that would commonly needed to be changed, expanded, etc. and also something that would benefit the culture of Vancouver. To increase the need for expansion of the program, we came up with the concept of an art college, where students become teachers while in school or a potential year fellowship after graduating. Depending on the amount of students that would be returning as teachers, new class rooms and facility spaces would need to be easily added as well as other spaces for living, recreation, etc..The single module design is a biscribed truncated octahedron, after going through many different concepts, this one offered the most benefits both practically, aesthetically, and structurally. The structure of the design is directly derived from the module itself made of steel 10� metal tubing and is celebrated throughout the design. The open steel frame provides a frame work for community members to understand how the building can expand and adapt with the community. In outdoor areas within the design, the steel members not only act structurally, but aesthetically, as a radiant canopy of steel trees. The actual form of the building can be explained in three parts, built module space, open structural space, and complete void of both module and structure. The Vancouver College of Film and Design would serve as an example of the effective logic of modularity exhibiting how modules can act as a language of both easy expandability and innovative design.

The modules are stacked by aligning the square faces of each biscribed truncated octahedron, the form we chose. The form offers multiple opportunities for exploration and expansion, and creates plenum spaces between floor levels for systems to generate within. This space also allows for balcony conditions on the facade of the structure that provide an outdoor semi-private space for occupants. the structure of the building was formed by developing the framework around one module. Then two different joint types were derived from the structural form and two different types of structural members shown here. Efficiency and sustainability of the modular structure is apparent due to the process of manufacturing minimal structural members and their joints.
Intersections Arch 498 - Prof. Simon BussierE
Intersection is about a moment in which two concepts collide with each other. The idea of a surface-to-strucure methodology of design is predominately focused on this project. The mathematical proofs of villarceau circles combined with common methods in 3d modeling reveals these interesting intersection among multiple surfaces. Once this form is established, a triangulation of three layers of surfaces are extracted from the torus form. A ground plane is then introduced in which the structural Capabilities, surfaces, and surface sections are ALSO revealed . Understanding the scale of the structure was the next portion of the design. The original thought was one of an airport terminal, however as the project developed the scale of the arch began to magnitate towards a much more intimate scale that creates a smaller overall spatiality. Due to the new scale of the structure and the parametric formation of the structure, the product was given the appropriate name intersection, which immulates the ideas incorporated into the design and the feeling derived from the pavilion.
The torus is given implicitly as the set of points on circles of radius three around points on a circle of radius five in the xy plane: 0 = ( x2 + y2 + z2 + 16)2 – 100( x2 + y2 ) Slicing with the z = 0 plane produces two concentric circles: x2 + y2 = 22 and x2 + y2 = 82 Slicing with the x = 0, and or y = 0, plane produces two side-by-side circles: (y − 5)2 + z2 = 32 and (y + 5)2 + z2 = 32 Two Villarceau circles can be produced by slicing with the plane 3x = 4z. One is centered at (0, +3, 0) and the other at (0, −3, 0); both have radius five. They can be written in parametric form as: (x, y, z) = (4cos v, + 3 + 5sin v, 3cos v) and (x, y, z) = (4cos v, - 3 + 5sin v, 3cos v) The slicing plane is chosen to be tangent to the torus while passing through its center. Here it is tangent at (16⁄5, 0, 12⁄5) and at (−16⁄5, 0, −12⁄5). The angle of slicing is uniquely Determined by the dimensions of the chosen torus, and rotating any one such plane around the vertical gives all of them for that torus.
Understanding the scale of the structure was a major portion of the design. The original thought was one of an airport terminal, however as the project developed the scale of the arching structures had a propensity towards a much more comfortable scale that creates an intimate and modest overall relationship to the site and occupants. Due to the new scale of the structure and the parametric formation of the form, I decided to continue exploring options of raising the structure to let the pieces create a facade on all sides of the design. Shown Here are some of my process through that exploration.

INSPIRATION DRIVEN FROM THE DESIRES OF OUR OWN DREAMS FUELS THE PRODUCTION OF THIS LAKESIDE VACATION HOME. WE ALL ASPIRE TO PROVE OUR SUCCESS BY THE THINGS WE HAVE, HOWEVER THIS HOME IS ABOUT THE PLACES WE ARE AND HOW WE USE SPACE. THE CONCEPT OF THE HOUSE WAS TO BE AN EMPTY SHELL DURRING THE DAY AND A GATHERING HUB THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS WE NEED FOR LIFE, A MACHINE FOR LIVING. THE GOAL FOR OUR GROUP WAS TO DESIGN A PLACE THAT HAD A STRONG CONECTEDNESS TO NATURE. FROM THE LOCATION ADJACENT TO A LAKEFRONT, TO THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHTING AND MATERIALS USED ON THE INTERIOR, THE HOME PROVIDES A COMFORTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND AN EXCELLENT SOURCE FOR RELAXATION AND ENJOYMENT DURRING VACATION.

The act of creating a piece of art can define the way in which we design. This piece, fashioned around the concepts of the architect Oscar Niemeyer, expresses the idea of art and design working together in one notion. The design combines the idea of art along with the functionality of a chaise lounge. The design is also based on the curved naturalism that appears in the explanations and designs of Niemeyer. The chair is constructed using walnut PLANKS and PLYWOOD THAT CREATES a basic framework skeleton. The individual pieces are milled to the shape and then glued together. DUE TO LIMITED RESOURCES AND FACILITIES, The back piece is made up of layers of quarter inch PANELING laminated together in a curved formwork.

SOMETIMES RULES AND REGULATIONS GET IN THE WAY OF DESIGN, ESPECIALLY IN ARCHITECTURE. IN THIS CASE , THE INITIAL PART OF THE PROJECT WAS ABOUT MAKING PART OF OUR STUDIO SPACE A PLACE TO RELAX. AFTER A FEW OF OUR STUDIO MATES BROUGHT IN SOME FURNITURE, IMMEDIATE RESPONSES REQUIRING US TO REMOVE FURNITURE DROVE US TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDIO SPACES. AFTER MULTIPLE BACK AND FORTH EMAILS BETWEEN ME AND THE BUILDING MANAGER OF THE ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT, WE HAD TO CREATE FURNITURE CONFORMING TO THE BUILDING REGULATIONS. THEN THE ASSOCIATE DEAN AND THE CHAIR OF THE ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT APPROACHED US TO TAKE ON THE CONCEPT OF REDESIGNING THE STUDIO SPACES. MY APPROACH WAS TO TAKE ON THE DEFINING ATTRIBUTE OF ALL STUDIOS, THE INDIVIDUAL DESK. THE CONCEPT I CREATED WAS DEVELOPED WITH NOTIONS OF COLLABORATION ALONG WITH INDIVIDUAL ASPECTS OF A WORKSPACE.
