Willamette Academy Team: Jannita Bolin, Scott Schafer Fall 2015 | Graduate
A strong educational system is vital to any urban community.
The Willamette ACADEMY is a campus that is activated by the greater community through providing programs that would offer business partners involving in educating the future work force. Through STEM, the curriculum prepares students for college readiness with local hospitality and manufacturing businesses offering time and resources for the students. We aim to create architecture that embodies innovation, creativity, and a sense of playfulness through design, space planning, and material selection to provide an image of a new campus that the community of Portland can be proud of.

Through STEM, a curriculum based on science, technology, engineering, and math provides an educational basis that is deeply interwoven with the realworld through integrated technology, project based learning, personalized education, early college experience, and real world partnership.

Housing First: Designing for Dignity Summer 2015 | Graduate
DESC is a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing designed to serve those who have a long history of homelessness and often face persistent obstacles to maintaining housing, such as a serious mental illness, a substance use disorder, or a chronic medical problem. This project in collaboration with DESC, is a proposal of another addition to DESC’s affordable housing in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle. Focusing on developing efficient floorplan and ground floor that allows accupents and staff to interact as well as providing communal outdoor space, this housing creates a synergy that allows tenants to take steps toward recovery and independence.

Seattle Media-Tec Building Team: Jannita Bolin, Charlotte Muschamp, Matthew Schuchardt Spring 2015 | Undergraduate
The vision of this project is to redesign the existing site of Block 48 into a communal tec hub of the up and coming Seattle’s South Lake Union community. The design focuses on reusing the existing structure of the Southlake Union Discovery Center. The street orientation, site set-back restraints, and given site parameters were taken into careful considerations to maximize the programmatic areas within the building. By breaking the building into semi-modular components, unique spaces were created with an otherwise unified building form. This allowed for the maximum amount of visibility and interactivity with the ground floor commercial spaces.

The building was set back from the street to create a public court experience. Vegetation and seatings are introduced into this ‘buffer zone’ to encourage interaction within the space and into the museum beyond. The modularity characteristics of the structures would also carry into the second floor, which heightens the ceiling for both gallery and commercial tenant spaces above.

Materials were chosen carefully to enhance the quality of the exterior program spaces such as the media park and the amazon brick located in the 2 thoroughfares between the modules. Salvaged wood is used on the ceiling directly above the park and insulated polycarbonate panel is used on the exterior material of the outdoor boxes located in the thoroughfare seen here. These boxes are provided in the program as digital spaces designed for museum visitors to experience a virtual reality.
Not only do these insulated polycarbonate panels perform great as heat insulator, but it offers a natural illumination quality to the interior, and its translucency allows for passage of light without compromising privacy. With application of custom LED lighting, there’s an option for these boxes to glow at night from within, creating an alluring quality which adds character, life, and energy to the Westlake Ave. at night.

Water is Precious Team: Jannita Bolin, Charlotte Muschamp Fall 2014 | Undergraduate
The educatorium focuses on the water cycle and the journey of water as a teaching tool. The team emphasized on columns as the main architectural element to create a narrative in ways that people can understand. The courtyard is the key outdoor interactive learning space designed to reflect three ecosystems unique to the Palouse area. The courtyard houses different section of native plants and each require different amount of water. Through the process of collecting, distributing, visitors can really get a sense that water is precious and should be conserved and reused.

The roof is used as the main rainwater collecting device and the shape of the roof allows water to be collected and filtered through the columns along the building envelope. From there, the water is taken through piping system to underground storage tank and can be pumped and distributed back to the appropriate plant sections in the central courtyard.

Moscow Farmer's Market Pavilion Team: Jannita Bolin, Kevin Hall, Charlotte Muschamp Fall 2013 | Undergraduate
This project focuses on studying material systems and behavior and the application of those systems into public space. The system as it adapts to various environmental conditions, will concern three spatial arrangements. These include a Pavilion, Canopy, and Landscape. The final design is informed according to the material systems and contraints, as well as, the social implications of the site such as the programs and circulation of the Farmer’s Market in Moscow, Idaho.

For the system to be optimized, variations of the components are created in order -20lb-20lb-20lb to achieve desired form and degree of -20lb curvature. This was achieved through a system of matematically calculated series of teeth along the edges of each wooden strip and varied offsets for varied connection type. This variation can be seen from local component to sectional global connections, where the pavilion’s structure is formed.
