Calosoma Externum: Mechanics The Narrow Searcher is an extremely fast insect and must move fast in order to catch its prey. The insect can also fly and spray a powerful smelling gas in order to evade any of thepredators it has itself. The mechanics of the head are designed to support the powerful mandibles it uses to hunt caterpillars and moves and functions like a set of motor assisted bolt cutters. The main body consists of its digestive system, shell, and its wings. The main shell acts as a form of armor and is light enough to support flight, this can be compared to the framing of the wing of a jet; The wings are moved and powered by the head which follows a basic set of functions for direction and purpose, the wings are powered electricaly with flap actuators to change the direction of the insect. The body consumes food very fast and provides the power to the Narrow Searcher, this can be compared to a jet engine which powers both mechanical movement and cognitive/electrical systems. The leg power of this insect is also substantial as well and can move very fast to catch prey and evade using its exoskeleton. The mechanics are inspired by the battery cells of a Tesla Roadster, on of the fastest

Harvest
On Main Street
Harvest in Norman is an urban farming center designed to educate, accomodate, and be able to encourage the local community towards effiicient farming methods. The center also demonstrates advanced sustainable capability with hydroponics and demo spaces while also implementing passive and energy saving design strategies.

The greenhouse is located on the southwest side of the site. You are able to walk and see inside from Santa Fe Avenue A greenroof provides lower energy use by having cooler roof temperatures. Green roofs also lower the carbon footprint. The roof will also have maintinence access via egress stair.
Concept The concept of this design is to have a fully accessible learning experience and the idea is fulfilled by using the sense of sight to create curiosity. As a pedestrian walks by on main street they will first see the courtyard that is slightly exposed and the passive curtain wall system; both of these implementations neither cut off or fully open the space, creating curiosity. When you enter the building you will be greeted with two paths, the demonstration area and the cafe area. It is these types of paths you will find throughought the entire building that give the the chance for everyone to have some sort of learning experience.
North egress staircass is on all floors Reception, demo space, stair, and elevator represent a central core for the building, allowing full access. The office space will act as a central private access hub that connects to the staff bathroom and the research lab.
A cafe is directly linked to the entrance with views of the courtyard. A hallway connected to the bathrooms and kitchen lead to a door that allows courtyard access
