RELIEF_POD syn•er•gize

ARCH410_ARCH DSGN TECTONICS_FALL 2012

(verb)

a) the interaction or cooperation of two or more agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their individual effects

The relief pod is a temporary shelter designed to be easily transported via a semi-trailer. A structural wood core allows for the application of a flexible skin to facilitate solar harvesting, rain-water collection, and natural ventilation. The compact intrigration of such systems results in a highly functional space. Such a pod may be used in disaster-relief situations, or for high-density events such as the olympics.

(noun)

a) combine (one thing) with another so-as to become a whole

Located in the city of Mannheim, Germany, the ZDKM Performing Arts Center serves as a hub to promote the fine arts. The new center utilizes an existing grain silo as a shell for artist apartments and offices. Additionally, the center contains two indoor venues and an outdoor stage. The interior venues are positioned on either side of a central stage, which allows both to be utilized simultaneously for large events. Lastly, a transparent bar serves as a foyer, while three rehersal spaces on the upper floors act as beacons for activity within. sectional concept

(verb)

a) to bring together so that a link is established

The post-industrial city of Manresa, Spain is in need of revitalization following the exodus of people from the city-center. This project proposes multiple ammenities at the end of the existing Camino of St Ignatius which address the health of the city and health of the individual. To bring together both locals and tourists, the project provides joint ammenities to both groups including a natural spring bath, a market, garden space, and hostel rooms.

These rooms are rooted in the earth and themed according to mind, body, and spirit.

ECO_SHED rep•li•cate

ARCH5301_ecoMOD SEMINAR_FALL 2013

(noun)

a) make a similar or exact copy of something

As a continuation of the ecoMOD research agenda at the University of Virginia, the ecoSHED was a design-build venture aimed at helping people in low-income neighborhoods build an improved alternate shed than those typically purchased. It is designed so that a similar 4’ x 8’ module may be used for the floor and wall panels, allowing for different arrangements of the shed according to the needs of the owner. This not only allows for customization but also for replicability by the average homeowner.

SWISS_LANTERN il•lu•mi•nate

ARCH7230_DSGN DEVELOPMENT_SPRING 2014

(verb)

a) to infuse with light b) to clarify or explain

The Swiss Lantern is an artist studio which looks at the intersection between wood construction and daylight quality of a space. While the lower portion of the studio consists of well-insulated stacked timber beams, the tensile roof is more delecate in nature, providing the room with daylight from the top. The quality of this light was strategically developed using ecotect software to include indirect light and exclude direct light. Potential issues in detailing wood construction were identified and addressed.
