Wall Section Materials and Methods Professor: Jim Lutz
December 2008 | Arch 4511
Form
The term project for Materials and Methods involved
research and documentation of a building wall section. We were asked to analyze the structure of a build-
ing and create a wall section out of basswood. This building could be anything well documented for research. My partner
Jeremy Burhop and I, focused our reserach on the Kaufman House (Fallingwater) by Frank Lloyd Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright was
a believer that architectural form should em-
brace nature. Fallingwater was construct-
ed in 1934 in Southwest Pennsylvania. This unique design embraced the Bear Run River allowing it to flow untouched underneath this cantilevered building. We became very interested in this cantilever and focused our section where the building hangs over the river. The value drawings to the right were drawn before this proect began during my sophomore year.

together creating 3” x 3” x 3” cubes. Placing they can work as one volumetric path. Concrete was the medium of model representation. A series of molds created a 48” concrete path. Rough and smooth surfaces of the concrete were used in conjunction with

This project was an ex-

between spaces, the place where spaces overlap, change and move. We were of space, coupled with the changing phenomenological qualities (light), effect our
perception of program. The final program of the project presented after exploration was a link between two buildings. My final design was based around a central light shaft. Two levels of movement around and through this area of light developed different programmatic functions. On the top level you are forced to move around the light while the lower level you are forced through the light. Space is created on the outskirts of this shaft of light.

simultaneously separating the two units visually. The eight-foot gridded post and beam structure creates similar units from one side to the other. The left unit is a three bedroom, two bathroom, 1850 square foot unit. The right unit is a two bedroom, one bath, with den, 1600 square foot unit. Floor to ceiling glass and concrete floors allow two-thirds of the home to be heated through passive solar strategies. After completion of this project I was nominated for the SALA award. Nine students from Studio III were selected as finalists for this award. The winner received a scholarship from SALA Architects, Inc.
