About Me
“Portfolios should be about more than just getting a job. Portfolios should be about you as a designer, your ambitions, and your goals in life as well as architecture.”
Upon gaining my Bachelorette Degree in Architectural Studies I plan on beginning my design career for the summer of 2015 before returning to Washington State University to receive my Master of Architecture Degree. This decision to strive for a master’s was based upon the opportunity to gain an NAAB accredited professional degree. My acceptance into the accelerated Master of Architecture program at WSU made the decision to return to the Palouse an easy one. Once I receive a Master’s Degree, I am going to pursue a career in architecture and continue to build upon my Intern Development Program credits and apply for architect licensure. My goal is to become a licensed architect by the summer of 2019, giving me exactly three years to complete the program and exams. This will be achieved by consistently logging hours, as well as completing tests while still gaining IDP credits. Once the day comes where I decide to retire from the professional field of architecture, I would like to return to school to receive my PhD in architecture. I will use this degree to begin my second career in the field of education as an architecture professor. Giving back to the future generation of aspiring architecture students would be an honor and privilege.

IDX IN PROGRESS...
Fall 2014 | IDX Mass Timber Studio | A. Miles A. Robinson Mass timber is a collective term for several engineered heavy panel wood products including cross-laminated timber (CLT), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), laminated strand lumber (LSL), and parallel strand lumber (PSL). These engineered building products are made through various manufacturing processes of applying resin and pressing multiple layers or pieces of wood oriented to improve strength, size, and stability of the wood assembly. This year-long studio will be continued next semester with further development of designs, as well as production of construction documents. 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 three design aims: vertical circulation, architectural brief, and alcoves/grottos. When considering the interior condition: the vertical circulation or ‘core’ acts as the leading flow; thus creating a branching network between floors, as well as programmatic spaces. To create an interior condition which embodies the cultural conflux, the architectural brief, or programs, are intermingled and centralized around the core. The alcove/grotto spaces are spaces of interaction that will serve to balance the immediacy of the leading flows, by providing inviting neutral spaces, living materials, and the human condition.

FLOWS THROUGH SITE
FLOW ANALYSIS GIVEN SITE A site location in downtown Spokane, Washington led to realization of the disconnect between the urban downtown and campus life. EXISTING FLOWS A flow analysis through Grasshopper, a plug-in for Rhinoceros, generated walking paths of pedestrians trying to navigate between the two differing contexts. GRIDDED SITE A realization occurred that pedestrians do not always walk along the sidewalks and roads- they take shortcuts. Thus, a 4’ x 8’ (common CLT panel size) grid was applied to the site in order to determine the shortest walking path if pedestrians were to cut through our currently empty site. FLOWS THROUGH SITE 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.

AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT PHASE 01 A prime location for the studio aim of a 12-story CLT structure, this space will involve creating intermixing spaces of campus resource zones, student living, and community zones. PHASE 02 This phase emphasizes WSU capital planning’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 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.

Paths from buildings within a ten-minute walk of our site were 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. HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION From the established location of vertical circulation, paths of horizontal circulation were established, including full circulation around the main core.

UNSUPPORTED CLT PANELS
ALCOVE PLACEMENT Transportation routes from CLT manufacturers to our site were analyzed and when trying to keep the transportation costs and environmental impact of carbon emissions low, it was established that the largest size press within a 200-mile radius, could produce an 8’ x 24’ panel. As large as 10’ x 60’ CLT panels could be produced if we were willing to venture outside the 200-mile radius. An 8’ x 24’ grid was arrayed on the floor plates and primary structure was established. Unsupported CLT panels were then acknowledged as spaces in which could be recognized as exterior alcove spaces within the building footprint. The 10’ x 60’ CLT panels would be utilized here in order to achieve the necessary spans.

OPERABLE SASH
FACADE SYSTEM When defining the rule set, four materials were established as the ingredients to a facade component. CLT panels, glazing, spandrel glass, and operable sashes were to be ‘packed’ within a 16’ x 12’ rectangle. Through Packrat, a four facade assemblies were generated. Through the acknowledgement of the programmatic spaces it was to be serving, as well as the resulting view, the facade assemblies were placed in an arrangement that would ensure maximum success when addressing views and daylighting. For example, on the first floor of the building on the east side, the facade assembly 1 was utilized because of its use of CLT panels on the lower half of the assembly to avoid the view of the loading dock located outside in order to ensure an interior environment conducive to pedestrian approval.

WHEAT INTORSION Spring 2014 | 3D Digital Modeling | A. Miles
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 was focused on finding rigidity of a component. The process started with paper modeling of form finding. When thinking about rigidity of a folded piece of paper, its rigidity is weaker in the horizontal direction. However, when the piece of paper is stood on edge in the vertical direction, it then becomes rigid and strong. This form finding concept was then applied into creating the end result of this column structure. Because of its column-like qualities, a structural analysis of the component took place. This analysis was an experimentation of the structural patterning qualities of such a form. This pattern has led to the interest in the phyllotaxis patterning and how such structural properties could lead to a graduate thesis project.

CONCEPTUAL PROCESS TURNING TORSO | CALATRAVA Sweden’s tallest residential building is the HSB Turning Torso, a sculptural sustainable skyscraper that gently spirals as it ascends above the skyline of Malmo. Designed by renowned architect, sculptor and structural engineer Santiago Calatrava, the tower features a form inspired by the Spanish architect’s studies on nature and human bodies. Inspired by the Turning Torso, this led to the geometric concept of Wheat Intorsion. GEOMETRIC CONCEPT From the initial form finding process, it then became a process of identifying simple fabrication techniques that could give us an end result of this vertical rigidity. This concept started with the development of being able to create a contour that could have a continuous curvature while it expanded in the z-direction. Growing on the idea of vertical rigidity it was realized that the contour itself could also be cut in the vertical direction, creating a torsion effect on the vertical members. Structural analysis showed that the fabrication technique of such a vertical strip orientation rotating in torsion at a 15° angle would create a more structural member. When the strips are placed in torsion, they are covering a greater distance in the x and y plane, resulting in the vertical rails spanning a greater distance than if they had just been oriented with no twist. The end result is that the column is much more structural when placed in compression because of this factor of twisting torsion pressure. Final computer structural analysis proved this torsion ratio was more structurally sound than a standard 4”x 4” column. 25

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

STRUCTURAL APPLICATION MATERIAL CONCEPT Moving to full scale fabrication of the column, it was decided to use the local material of the Palouse, wheat straw as a way to tie the end result of the column structure back to the community that helped us complete this installation. With this local material, we made further ties back to the local community by engraving “Welcome to the Palouse” in 75 different languages. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS With the global population creating a column structure, there was a definite intent to then analyze its structural capabilities of the column. Our range of testing was limited as testing ranged from digital modeling capabilities, to scaled model testing, and full scaled model testing. The end result of analysis was that the column structure could support more than a 4”x4” douglas-fir column; indicating that it does have structural potential.

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 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.

MATERIAL RESEARCH 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.

COMMUNITY TIES 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 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 exploaration, we realized the organic nature that the column’s interior produced. In plan view, produced a phyllotaxis condition which is a spiraling arrangment 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.

A BETTER USE OF SPACE Spring 2014 | Furniture Design | Independent Study The aim of this project was to break away from the traditional method of dedicating excessive area in the dresser created by an overlap between faces of the drawers. The sole purpose of the dresser is intended for storage, the concept of maximizing this capacity through side shelving was conceived and executed. When designing furniture, one must first think about the audience. The overall dimensions were fixed at 4’-0” tall, and 2’-4” wide. This was based upon the dimensions of a 5’-4” person and their clothing dimensions. The design then lent itself to be more functional for that of a child. An orthogonal design was revisited to avoid the harsh angles that were conceived with the adult dresser designs. The three-drawer system was based upon the clothing options for children; and the dimensions were then scaled down to accommodate for child use. Fabrication was achieved through traditional methods. Finger joints and tongue-and-groove connections were utilized in the single-drawer construction process. Drawer slides were installed to allow for child to easily slide open each drawer. Lids accommodate for easily-accessible items located in the front of the drawers. The side shelving is what makes this drawer design unique and more functional than most other dresser designs.

WASTED SPACE In traditional furniture design, the faces of the drawer are overset passed the functional space of the drawer. This creates a space that is wasted and defeats the overall purpose of the dresser as a space for storage. This wasted space will be looked upon to take advantage of through a new dresser design.
39
EXPLORATIONS 01 A very ordered and symmetrical design, this dresser utilizes traditional ideals of symmetry and rectilinear design in order to create an interesting functional furniture piece. The eyesight down toward the dresser creates a 45° angle with respect to the horizontal and is mimicked through the angle of the dresser on the side elevation. The shelving that will be extruded from the dresser is rectangular and exposes the angled drawer units beyond.
02 This design is congruent in the latter with the exception of the easily accessible lids for items located in the front of the drawer spaces.
03 Sticking with the overall properties of 4’ x 2’-4” and 5 sets of drawer units, the design is transformed back to the terraced concept and references the top of one drawer to provide the location of the drawer below base. The result is a shelving unit that is terraced as well, and still exposes the angled drawers in side elevation.
04 A mathematical approach was applied to the design with the variations of angles creating a fanning effect. The rule set was to start with the previous 65° angle on the top drawer and make each drawer 10” tall and 6” deep, and not conflict with the overall dimensions of the dresser unit. The result is evident in the different angles that were produced and how the differences between each angle divided the previous in half. The problem is this creates for a lack of usable, parallel-to-the-horizontal space.
40
The next ‘step’ was to explore the benefits of 90° angle while still keep- 05 ing the overall dimensions the same. The result is spaces that have the ability to be more functional for holding items and a shelving unit that completely encloses and hides the dresser in side elevation.
To break away from the shelving that encloses the dressers in side el- 06 evation, the unit was made rectangular.
To prevent items from sliding away from the compartment, a divider 07 was added. This creates for an interesting side elevation with the angular dresser drawers, a convenient separate compartment, as well as the traditional orthogonal drawer spaces.
Offsetting the angled drawers from the lid would create for a more con- 08 venient experience for the user. Rather than having to hold the lid open while looking for a specific item, the lid can now be opened a greater degree so that its center of gravity is located behind the hinge of the lid.

CHILD DIMENSIONS
DRESSER INTENTION
DRESSER FOR CHILDREN The decision to proceed with a child’s dresser then provoked the notion to design the overall dimensions of the dresser to fit accordingly to an average size child who is four feet tall. The dimensions of the drawers were directly correlated with the dimensions of clothing for a child of that size. THE CONCEPT OF ‘FIT’ Items that fit within the context of the home are those that address the parameters necessary in order to become a successful accessory. If one thing were to change within the context, then the object itself may no longer fit. By acknowledging the items that will be stored on the interior of the dresser, as well as the user on the exterior, this dresser becomes an ideal furniture piece in a child’s room.

The cautious decision to not exceed a height of thirty inches was in correlation with the chest height of the child in order to accommodate the limitations children have when trying to access clothing located in the top drawers. The depth of twenty inches allows the reach of a child to reach items located in the back of drawers.

FOLDED PAPER PAVILION Fall 2013 | Moscow, ID | S. Chimonas E. Moneymaker B. Zubiate 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 footprint 500 square feet. 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.
B
The market runs every Saturday during the months of May through October from 8 am until 1 pm. Market vendors are allowed to start setup at 5:00 the morning of the farmers market with the understanding that locations on the site are on a firstcome, first-serve basis. Through studies of shadow analysis, solar radiation, and maximum traffic zones, an ideal site location was selected. This site then informed the overall pavilion to accommodate the flow of human traffic to maximize exposure on site.

OVERVIEW The market stalls are first-come-first-serve, but we have chosen a specific stall spot that would be ideal for our pavilion. It is in direct or indirect sunlight most of the day with the exception of shade from nearby trees. This combination of sunlight conditions offers the option of shade as well as the opportunity to cast interesting shadows. Our proposed site was chosen because of the sun and foot traffic. It is located near parking and Friendship Square, where there will be a lot of people entering the market. The pavilion is placed in such a way that it has a medium amount of solar radiation, so it will not be too sunny nor too shaded.
N 49
COMPONENT The individual component that aggregates upon itself to form the overall pavilion utilizes a tab connection for ease of constructability. The tabs also allow space for eyelets to be inserted; which would be the main points of connection onto future components or canvas. The canvasing option allows the pedestrian traffic inhabiting the pavilion to escape the harsh Palouse summers.

MATERIAL RESEARCH CARTON PAPER The market is in season through parts of spring and fall. To accommodate for the rainfall, a waterproof material would need to be applied. 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. One of the products is carton paper which is used in the production of milk cartons. This specially manufactured paper contains two laminations on either side to create a water-proof seal. When the mill gets towards the end of its roll of paper, the lamination becomes thinner and it 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. When folds are incorporated into paper, it gains rigidity. By folding the paper in an hourglass shape, the loads distributed evenly down to the base.

FABRICATION To avoid paper fraying and have the ability to mass-produce components, the carton paper was sandwiched between two 1/2” thick layers of medium-density fibreboard. After the paper was stacked between the MDF, the composition was bolted together to prevent movement while cutting the template out using a jigsaw. 1/8” holes were then drilled with a press for guidelines of 1/4” eyelet positioning. In order to increase productivity and efficiency, the production crew was increased by one person during the component-forming stage. To preserve the waterproof membrane, rather than scoring the paper, a metal ruler was used as a straight-edge for creasing. Eyelets were then installed using a document fastener, ensuring a secure component. A flexible moment of connection material was essential to assist in the program assembly process. Zip ties warranted these considerations and further aided the design process. With the knowledge that the pavilion will not be able to be located in the same spot every week, the pavilion would need to have the ability to change every week to respond to the specific site conditions. The white zip ties represent the connections of components that make up the ceiling, wall, and landscape programs respectively, and do not get cut in the disassembly process. 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. 57

PAVILION PLAN VIEW
Pavilion Translation to Site 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 market’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.
