PROJECT DESCRIPTION Clients: Consultant: Duration: Location:

Bob + Adele Fisher Jim Henry Design Services 06.2015 - 05.2016 Allyn, WA, USA

A design opportunity presented itself when Bob and Adele Fisher approached me declaring they were in need of a designer to give them new ideas for their beach house located in Allyn, Washington. Working with Jim Henry Design Services, a new septic design was proposed and approved. This approval allowed the family the ability to construct a two-story building over looking the Puget Sound. I provided schematic and programmatic design as well as construction documents, specifications, and construction administration. The project is on-schedule and due to be finished in May 2016.

ROOF MASSING

The existing building on the site 02 was a one-story home that took up a footprint of 26’ x 27’. With the new design slated to be two-stories, I wanted to avoid a CUBE-like home. Elevating the west facade would allow for maximum views toward the water and summer sunset. To further mimic this intention, the roof was extended toward the west in order to guide the viewer’s eye.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructor: Colleagues: Completion: Location:

Darrin Griechen Leah Engelhardt Fall 2015 Spokane, WA, USA

This graduate studio within WSU School of Design and Construction studied SMART CITIES - data driven decision making, interactive environments, and internet of things - as a collaborative Integrated Design Research Studio problem. Graduate Architecture, graduate and undergraduate Interior Design and undergraduate Landscape Architecture students focused on Spokaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University District to explore how the built environment can use SMART CITY ideas to facilitate resource management, build community, and promote health and wellbeing.

Programs Utilized +Revit +Rhinoceros 5.0 +AutoCad 2016 +Sketchup Pro +Adobe Photoshop CC 13

THESIS + PSEUDO CODE By enabling a broader spectrum of educational experiences 03 for people, it will create a more diverse and integrated community. In order to do so, smart city capabilities were utilized to analyze real-time neighborhood demographics. With this information: high school boundaries will change, introducing educational â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and developing a collection of infrastructure to support educational opportunities. Neighborhood income does not affect Average School Boundary Income

ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS

EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD DEMOGRAPHICS

An economically disadvantaged student is one that comes from a family that meets the requirements for programs such as free or reduced lunches. *

EDUCATIONAL SPINE Using the new high school boundaries and analyzing the nearby 03 city resources, a single pathway or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Educational Spineâ&#x20AC;? is derived, along which university buildings would be situated. The educational spine will have interconnections with city, university, and high school resources. With a high school-university-city relationship, the resources will have a greater ability to influence and support one another. The high school will have the opportunities to use the university resources such as libraries and research labs. The university will have the ability to utilize city resources, decreasing necessary infrastructure. Having the university buildings spread throughout the city will boost the economy in multiple areas creating a dynamic shift in the economy.

A ROUTE TO CREATE... accessibility to resources for citizens connectivity between education and city resources

DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT

RESULTANT SCHOOL BOUNDARIES

NEIGHBORHOOD DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFT

A demographic shift is when the median household income average for a neighborhood changes. Any shift will result in a reconfiguration of the high school boundaries so that the economically disadvantaged students are equally distributed between the schools. By making sure there is equality among the school district there will also be diversity within each high school. Students with varying economic standings will be grouped together rather than having a disperse between each school. The resultant school boundaries illustrate the qualities of the adaptive system. This adaptive system will ensure all students experience a diverse school system and in turn, an increase in graduation rates.

SOCIAL HOUSING Designing for Dignity

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructors: Colleagues: Completion: Location:

Robert Hutchison + James Steel N/A Summer 2015 Seattle, WA, USA

Programs Utilized

What is also lacking now and in the near future is the consideration of how social housing can be integrated with the developing patterns of urban densification. Since the failure of large-scale housing projects of the 1970s, with a few exceptions, social housing in the United States has taken the direction of lower density development, often one, two or three-unit structures organized as a suburban development, with little or no public or commercial services. This scenario is at odds with the developing realization that urban densification is relevant if not paramount for the success and survival of our planet. A client and site within the City of Seattle will serve as the vehicle for exploration which will address the dire need for social housing to address the impending growth and urbanization of Seattle.

A site located within an ecotone between residential and commercial infrastructure along the busy street of 04 Rainier Avenue created for an interesting design opportunity. The overall aim of this project was to explore the ability to gain natural light within the “knuckle” of an L-scheme building while utilizing double-loaded corridors for an efficient design. Parameters for the studio included a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) below 4.2, a minimum of 80 units, and an efficiency of at least 75%.

DETAILING Miller Hull | Bethaday

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructor: Colleagues: Completion: Location:

Greg Kessler Austin Miles Fall 2015 Seattle, WA, USA

The aim of this course was to create detailing solutions while utilizing new, innovative materials. The Bethaday Community Learning Space designed by Miller Hull Partnership was given as the framework for which students were to explore different aspects of the building including a rainscreen, staircase, entry sequence, curtain wall, and punched opening. It was expected of the students to produce construction-quality detailing skills.

Programs Utilized +Revit +Rhinoceros 5.0 +Grasshopper +Adobe Illustrator CC +Adobe Photoshop CC 29

RAINSCREEN An implementation of a swiss pearl rainscreen using simplistic and efficient connection methods allows for a seamless design; which 05 blends into the existing context of the building. Wrapping the corner of the building with the same material allows for a continuous aesthetic relationship.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructor: Colleagues: Completion: Location:

Darrin Griechen N/A Spring 2015 Spokane, WA, USA

A site located in Spokane, Washington was chosen for the opportunity to develop a connection, or bridge, between the downtown Spokane community and the WSU Spokane campus. To create the bridge, the location will be developed with the intention of fostering further growth within the established bond of urban life within the community, creating a cultural conflux. The cultural conflux will be achieved through the development of a key design aim: vertical circulation.

Programs Utilized +Revit +Rhinoceros 5.0 +Grasshopper +Adobe Illustrator CC +Adobe Photoshop CC 33

FLOW ANALYSIS A site location in downtown Spokane, Washington led to realization of the disconnect between the urban downtown and campus life. 06 A f l o w a n a l y s i s t h r o u g h Grasshopper, a plug-in for Rhinoceros, generated walking paths of pedestrians trying to navigate between the two differing contexts.

GIVEN SITE

EXISTING FLOWS

GRIDDED SITE

FLOWS THROUGH SITE

A realization occurred that pedestrians do not always walk along the sidewalks and roadsthey take shortcuts. The new flow paths that were generated contained paths that cut through our site. The negative spaces between these paths were viewed as our zones of construction and should be looked upon for design development.

PHASE 02

PHASE 02 This phase emphasizes WSU capital planningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion goals of a student academic center. PHASE 03 Creating spaces of interaction on the landscape will foster further growth between the two existing communities.

PHASE 03

PHASE 04

PHASE 04 Recognizing the historic Jensen Byrd building next to our site and creating a blank canvas for adaptive reuse will establish a more cohesive design through contextual site development.

DERIVING CIRCULATION When analyzing the most successful locations for points of entry, another flow analysis occurred. Paths from buildings within a tenminute walk of our site were 06 analyzed. Beginning from the existing building entrances and ending in the center of our site, locations of where paths crossed the building envelop were established as building entrances. Then, paths of travel from each entrance to another were analyzed and where multiple paths crossed, locations of vertical circulation and the main core were established.

PHASE 01 SITE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructor: Colleague: Completion: Location:

Mary Polites A. Miles Spring 2014 Exhibition Installation

This seminar focused on the development of a simple component which could be aggregated to form emergent qualities toward an architectural use. At the onset of this project, students were asked to define their aims: specific outcomes which we expected to achieve through the development, refinement, and implementation of our component and the system it forms in aggregation. Wheat Intorsion is focused on finding rigidity of a component.

Programs Utilized +AutoCad +Rhinoceros 5.0 +V-Ray +Grasshopper +Adobe Illustrator CC 39

EXPLORING RIGIDITY Moving forward, the aim was to find rigidity. Looking at any sheet material, when placed in the horizontal direction it is not rigid, but when folded in the vertical direction, it becomes quite rigid. With this 07 exploration, model making continued to form a component that fit into these aims.

Now that the component was going to be populated in the vertical direction, focus then moved toward determining a fabrication technique. The idea cutting contours through the model was the first idea. Doing so would allow light to refract out from the structure as well as giving it a less dense structure. Soon it was realized that cutting the contours in the vertical direction instead of the traditional horizontal fashion, would also increase the components unique element of the vertical rigidity while also accentuating its 15 degree twist.

Moving toward the global assembly, there was refinement to the fabrication of each component. To add strength to the vertical contour rails, the connection was changed to a simple dado 07 connection that would CNC into the top and bottom chords of the component. This also eliminated the fabrication time and cost of a face connection using screws; and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing, flowing global population.

LOCAL MATERIAL As to further tie back to the community it was decided to fabricate the column out of a locally-based material. The rolling hills of the Palouse are an iconic symbol of the Eastern Washington landscape. Thus, the wheat board material developed by Washington State University’s Composite Materials & Engineering Center (CMEC). MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT The opportunity to fabricate the wheat board material first-hand was given and was executed through a process that began with many wheat straw bales and ended with a 1/16”- thick wheat board panel.

In an effort to tie the final installation of the component back to the community it was an idea to display “Welcome to the Palouse” in several different languages on every other vertical rail of the 07 column structure. The above key allows visitors to locate their own language. The total number of languages that were represented in the column was seventy-seven, ranging from Afrikaans to Welsh.

CLOSING ANALYSIS ENDING DISCOVERIES As we approached the end of our exploration, we realized the organic nature that the columnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior produced. In plan view, produced a phyllotaxis condition which is a spiralling arrangement of leaves in some plants. This characteristic obeys as a number of subtle mathematical relationships that can inherently be seen in the column. We were unaware of this factor until final construction was complete. EXHIBITION OPENINGS The column was featured in multiple exhibitions located in Spokane, WA, Moscow, ID, and finally Pullman, WA.

Featured Project on MAPS Methods website

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Instructor: Colleagues: Completion: Location:

Mary Polites S. Chimonas, E. Moneymaker, B. Zubiate Fall 2013 Moscow, ID, USA

The focus of the studio was to produce a surface system to act as a pavilion for the Moscow, Idaho Farmers Market. The intervention is defined as a material system which does not exceed a 500 square feet footprint. The design should be deployable and disassembled to address the 8-hour cycle of the market. The pavilion should address the flows and access points of the market and act as a generator for new programs. The material system will be structurally effective and produce, negotiate or intensify at least one environmental condition.

Programs Utilized +Rhinoceros 5.0 +Grasshopper +Adobe Illustrator CC +Traditional Woodworking Tools 47

COMPONENT The individual component that aggregates upon itself to form the overall pavilion utilizes a tab connection for ease of constructibility. The tabs also allow space for eyelets to be inserted; which would be the main points of connection onto 08 future components or canvas. The canvasing option allows the pedestrian traffic inhabiting the pavilion to escape the harsh Palouse summers.

MATERIAL RESEARCH CARTON PAPER There are many benefits to the local economy, the local community, and the livelihoods of producers when products are manufactured and purchased locally. 34 miles from Moscow is a paper mill in Lewiston, Idaho.

FOLDED RIGIDITY OF PAPER

Carton paper is used in the production of milk cartons and is a specially manufactured paper containing two laminations on either side to create a water-proof seal. When the mill gets towards the end of the paper roll, the lamination is no longer acceptable for milk carton production. Rather than the paper being wasted in a land fill, the paper is reused in component production.

FOLDED RIGIDITY OF COMPONENT 49

FABRICATION To avoid paper fraying and have the ability to mass-produce components, the carton paper was sandwiched between two 1/2â&#x20AC;? thick layers of mediumdensity fiberboard. A flexible moment of connection 08 m a t e r i a l w a s e s s e n t i a l t o assist in the program assembly process. Zip ties warranted these considerations and further aided the design process. Because the pavilion will not be able to be located in the same spot every week, the pavilion needed the ability to change every week to respond to the specific site conditions. The white zip ties represent the connections within each program. The black zip ties signify connections from one program to another, and when disassembling, are cut. The end result, when leaving the site after disassembly, is multiple ceiling, wall, and landscape programs that will then be constructed the next week in a new configuration with black zip ties.

PAVILION TRANSLATION Due to the flexible design opportunities, the pavilion is always responsive in relation to the site conditions. In the optimal site setting, the assembly will feature an asymmetrical design that accommodates the flow of the farmers marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pedestrian traffic. The large entrance areas create vibrant access points that open up to an easily habitable space for multiple people at one given time. The heavy base that supports a lighter ceiling allows for the creation of interesting shadows on the ground for individuals inhabiting the space as well as passerby that will be drawn into the structure. Each week, patrons will be eager to see where the pavilion is located and the corresponding form that arose from such site. Creating a more vibrant farmers market in Moscow, Idaho and giving back to the community that provided the material for such a possible assembly.

Research Methodology: Urban Fluctuation | Mary Polites, et al.

May 10, 2015 Dear Search Committee: I am writing in regards to Jay Henson in support of his application for your office. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Jay for his third year in the Architecture program at WSU as his studio and seminar instructor. He was seminal to the research and development of our course work at WSU. To provide some background, Jay was in the fall studio course which focused on parametric design methods of complexity. The studio focus was on development of a single component into a global aggregation to reach a pavilion scale and address environmental and structural forces. This work was first individual projects and then for the second half of the term, group based. Throughout this time, Jay showcased his ability to grasp the techniques, concepts and methods fast enough to help inform others while keeping up with the design for the project. In addition, once the group work began, he was one of the strongest team members in terms of design and personality for the group. There were many material, budget and timing challenges that he and his group performed professionally and with true dedication. In addition to studio, Jay was also part of the research class in which we were exploring full scale realization of material systems. In this course Jay was truly a team member as the course demanded everything of the students to complete the prototypes by the end of the year. He helped in every aspect of the course from submission of the project booklet, to the fabrication and sourcing of materials and options to reach the end aim. It was clear that from his team, he was critical to the process of the project. After having the pleasure to know and work with Jay during my time at WSU I can truly say that he is a very mature and dedicated student. He was great to work with as he could handle critique, revise designs and learn new concepts at the same time which proved challenging for so many others. At the same time, his personality was always wonderful to work with as he was positive no matter how much intensity there was to complete work. I would like to offer a high recommendation for him to be part of your team. He is a great collaborator and can handle anything that comes his way. Please contact me with further questions if needed. Email is preferred as I am now located in Shanghai China and the time difference is a bit of a challenge. Sincerely, Mary Polites email: 2940487109@qq.com mobile: +86 150 0054 3474 53

Stadium 302 | STEEL ARCHITECTS

December 29, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is in support of Jay Henson’s interest in employment opportunities as an Architectural designer. I am a practicing Architect who served as an adjunct studio instructor for Washington State University’s ARCH 510 course taught in the summer of 2015 in Seattle, Washington. The studio addressed the need for permanent housing for at-risk homeless in Seattle. Students performed case studies on multi-unit social housing projects, site analysis on a given site in Seattle, and schematic design for a 4-6 story building. The studio, titled “Housing First: Designing for Dignity”, adopted a “Housing First” model of providing housing as a basic human right. Services, such as mental health and substance abuse counseling, are not a condition of tenancy at such facilities but instead offered voluntarily once a person becomes a permanent resident. Jay performed satisfactorily in this graduate-level design course. He received high marks for his final verbal presentation, consistent level of production throughout the term, receptiveness to criticism, and presence as a positive contributor in class discussion and assignments. While Jay had some room to grow as a designer, his commitment as a student was exemplary. I recommend Jay as an entry-level architectural designer and believe that, with adequate mentoring and a supportive workplace environment, Jay will perform well as an employee and grow to become a qualified Architect. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, James Steel AIA Steel Architects PLLC email: james@steelarchitects.com mobile: 206.491.3232
