j. marie Fall 2017 Portfolio | Updated: November ‘17
about me... My name is Jordan Cox. I am a senior architecture major and Spanish double major, with a minor in art and sustainable architecture. My interests include education design, immersive environments, themed entertainment design, and civil buildings. I am currently seeking full time employment before starting graduate school. I am interested in sustainable design and the growing need for responsive design. Outside of school I enjoy photography and capturing the candid moments in peoples’ lives. I also study graphic design and currently free-lance when possible. My Philosophy: Design is an experience. Creating a building is easy. It’s four walls, a foundation, and a roof. But designing an experience is completely different and that is what I want to design.

Project Brief: The goal of this project is to create an educational waste museum meant to inspire recycling and educate students about the beneďŹ ts of reuse. By using recycled materials, we can reduce our ecological footprint and protect the environment form the products of waste. Sustainability Goals: The goal of this building is to reach LEED CertiďŹ cation, largely in part by the use of sustainable and recycled materials Project Panels Ideas: Part of the project goal is to create a skin made of GM Manufactured cutouts left over from cars and to use them in the design of the building. Out goal is to use them for several things: 1. Lockers for children | 2. Umbrellas in the outdoor cafe | 3. Perforated Metal Exterior | 4. Part of a water feature | 5. Donor Wall

Serenbe is a sustainable community located in Chatahoochee Hills, Georgia. The following projects are studio projects done for the community led by a professor, the master planner for the community. The daycare and pediatric center projects were done in studio, while the art center and masterplans were done on site through a study away semester.
Serenbe Phase IV Masterplan
Serenbe Art Farm Masterplan
Duration: 1 Semester The objective of this project was to design a daycare facility and pediatric center for a school complex in the rural town of Serenbe, Georgia.

Daycare Elevations
The entire project was part of a school complex for elementary school students so the pediatric center was designed as a part of that complex. It needed to be a public place with easy access to both the road and the students. It has two exam rooms to accommodate students and people. The daycare was designed for infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers as and open and inviting place for students to play. It has a large playground as well with natural lighting to all of the rooms. It is the ďŹ rst building upon entrance to the community so the form follows the site and guides the eye towards the rest of the complex.

Duration: 1 Semester The objective of this project was to design an art center and mixed use space for the Serenbe Institute for artists and actors. The project included a gallery space, a multiuse white box theater, and administrative ofďŹ ce. It was to be used by many within Serenbe for ďŹ lm showings, weddings, art galleries, and formal banquets. This was a group project completed while studying for a semester in Serenbe, Georgia. Yiming G. and Mirely C. contributed renderings and section drawings.

Responsive Design
This project presented the challenge of creating a transformative stair. This could be any sort of motion and movement. The transformation could be from one position to the other or a visual transformation as opposed to a tactile one. When I started this project, I looked at various methods stairs could be created from geometry and the most prominent idea was that of the stairs created from a change along the vertical axis. From there it transformed from an origami ower to a blooming stair. The Axis cylinder was divided into eight pieces to provide a separate track for each stair panel of the shape. This would also provide exibility should the user only want to use some of the stairs. Using a crank, the stairs are pulled together at seven inch increments to the top of the axis. However, when it is not in use as a stair, it can serve as a chair or reading light. It is meant to be placed in a library or reading area for best use.

A centrally located string is twisted with a crank. as the rope is pulled down, the panels are each pulled up. when the first one reaches stairs height, the second, follows suit until all pieces are out. At and 8” increment, the stairs can be fixed into place to allow a variability in stair height.

I chose to focus on the individual panels method which would allow for versitile movement, as seen by the four quantrants of various design. The shape memory alloy is stretched at different lengths to adjust the angle of movement of each panel. The path of the connections dictates the overall movement of the shading device. I discovered there are many ways to adjust the shading based on the length of the wire. When it is activated, the wire pulls even tighter to allow light in. SECTION AND DETAIL OF CONSTRUCTION

Responsive Design
This project focused on the idea of RENDERING OF APPLICATION creating responsive building envelopes and self-regulating aperatures. Using shape memory alloys, we can create a structure that responds to heat in the climate and change to regulate the internal building temperature. For this project, I looked at several aperature designs using waterbeads to absorb moisture and prevent mold, a shading device in which individual panels were moved to respond to different sun angles, a shape memory fabric that could curve to create airow and a rotating aperature that allowed sunlight in when activated.

The design problem was to create an aperture and facade element that responded to air flow and light on the Langford Bridge. Upon initial studies, wind was a major problem, often cooling down the bridge to unusable temperatures or uncomfortable level. The initial design used bags to catch the air. From there we researched tesselation design and from polygons, there was an interesting relationship between a set of nine squares. They could be spun on pin joints and transform between different one design to the next. We focused on this movement and how to use it on the facade. The final design was a five by five square with translucent glass to let light filter in. However, to mediate the wind, a track allows the squares to be rotates to various levels to let in pure light and cool air. In order to create intrigue and encourage permanent installation, the panels on each moveable square is designed with magnets to allows the panels to be exchanged.
