SPACES FOR

Affected Area Food Security

Home to the 3rd lowest access to potable water per capita (18%) yet the greatest water reserves in Africa and source of 85% of the Nile River, Ethiopia is ironically referred to as the “Water Tower of Africa.” This problem grows exponentially as the worlds’s largest landlocked country, home to the world’s 9th largest population of over 228 million by 2050, and the 7th worst standard of living according to the United Nations Human Development Index. While Ethiopia has turned its focus to its “white oil” -water- it is purely for energy reasons with 14 new megadams to be constructed by 2015 that have severe environmental and social implications yet to be studied; the Give III Dam - currently under construction with 2 more dams scheduled downstream - will negatively affect 500,000 people downstream.

The cool well water is lifted to the surface through

evaporation. the warm surface air creates a Emergency vacuum pulling the water up.

Water Stelae revitalizing Omo River Valley through irrigation and fertilization

Water generated by the water stelae matriculates at a single source providing regular access to clean drinking water. Political hostility between communities is lessened with more regulated access due to the collection and storage capabilites of the water stelae in such an arid and volatile climate.

R SPIRITUAL REPOSE AGRICULTURE Crops cultivated from terraced farmland help to sustain indigenous people and provide a means of commerce.

BLACK WATER / SOLID WASTE Solid waste collected at the base of the stelae is delivered to the agricultural land and combined with the soil to create terra preta soil.

DRY-IN HOUSE

New Orleans, LA Field Office Architects Team | Doug Hecker_Trevor Jordan_Vincent Vumbaco_Melissa Vandiver_Mandi Young Contribution | Design Concepts_Fabrication and Mock-up Assembly_Networking_Rendering

The Dry-in House is a customized affordable housing system proposed for the reconstruction of New Orleans. The Dry-in House gets the owner back to their home site quickly while providing the infrastructure an occupant needs (shelter, water, electricity). The owner is supplied with an inhabitable shell that is customizable before it is fabricated as well as on-site as the project is â&#x20AC;&#x153;fitted outâ&#x20AC;? over time. The key concept is to allow families to participate in the design of their customized homes and to get these people back to their home sites as quickly as possible and to give them the opportunity to finish and further customize their home over time.

Construction is transformed into processes of assembly, reducing time and labor costs A small group of people can easily raise the prefabricated trusses into place

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light Foldâ&#x20AC;? is an illuminated, continuous surface that breathes life into a previously dry and underutilized space. By truncating the restaurant into a centralized space, other distinct spaces can then be added to complement the program. This allows users to be engaged with events in the arena below while still being able to socialize and dine in unique ways. The new Light Wall which envelops the restaurant breaks down the scale of the space with intricate detail cut directly into the walls surface. It both stimulates the space and becomes an attraction for observers below as it projects into the open arena.

OFFICE BUILDING RENOVATION

The challenge of recreating and redefining the identity of a building in Anderson, SC sets up this unique design inquiry. An existing Kroger grocery, abandoned for more than 20 years, is stripped to all but its shell and its exterior CMU blocks. With a limited budget, efforts become focused on utilizing functional floor space for the many employees of Anderson County by allowing them to work fluidly and comfortably in each of their corresponding zones, and also concentrating much of the design on the entry to help establish a new identity. Curvilinear brick walls stand apart from existing split-face block to create warmth and to soften the overall context. The curved entry wall becomes oriented perpendicular to a significant street leading to its entrance as an element that is bold and aesthetic.

The expansion of the Blue Ridge Hospital consisted of 41,000 sf of new and renovated space. Based on the clients CON, five new 600 sf. operating rooms were provided with supporting holding spaces, and the conversion of the existing rooms into Endoscopy and Cystoscopy procedure rooms. Prep/ recovery, post-anesthesia care, and sterile processing are new spaces to provide support for hospital needs. The project involved construction in five different phases to allow continuous occupation and services for the facility during the duration of construction, which involved thorough consideration of movement joints and critical attachment methods.

WELLNESS CENTER Cranbrook, MI Instructor | Karl Wallick Individual Project

The Cranbrook Wellness Center is situated in the Cranbrook Institute of Art and pulls from much of the existing contextual language of craft into its being, serving as a commemoration to the beauty of the handcrafted by shaping its influences to the idea of delamination. Wall construction is exposed to present the true nature of a buildings composition and make-up. Brick walls that line the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Promenadeâ&#x20AC;? and exteriors are pulled apart and perforated, acting more as a rain screen, and promoting the allowance of more natural daylight into its spaces. The Wellness Center program is comprised of Exercise/ Meditation spaces, Therapy Pools, Saunas, Guest Rooms, Library, Kitchen, and Lounge areas.

A clear distinction is now evident in most architectural practice today between processes of design generation and processes of design production. A separation was created in the conception of material knowledge, structure, and form due to this distinct divide, which was propelled by standardization and the division of labor. The emergence of sophisticated new digital fabrication tools and technologies affords new ways of design generation and production resulting in novel customized solutions. This shift in production now addresses the method of making and its impact on architecture posing the question “What is the relation between the way in which things are made and how they work?” How is the process evident in the artifact? Digital craft is an operational framework controlling processes of technique through the manipulation of digital and physical materials while allowing the interjection of the human element as an analog device. It approaches design in order to discover new and innovative fabrication methods and their contribution to the built environments and its spaces.

SUMO

Clemson, SC Instructor | Ronald Rael Team | Trevor Jordan_Jason Fleming_Steven Dejonkeere_Vincent Vumbaco_Melissa Vandiver_Mandi Young_Nathan Dicks_Nicole Carter Contribution | Design Concepts, Modeling, Programming, Fabrication, Assembly The SUMO, Specialized Unit for Megacommunicative Occupancy, is a furniture unit designed to facilitate long distance communication between students and teacher. The project was stimulated by the need for a quiet space in the studio for students at Clemson University to communicate with their professor in Genoa, Italy during class time. The SUMO allows two positions, one for working and another for resting. The CNC router is utilized for production of the prototype. To maximize use of 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;x 8â&#x20AC;&#x2122; sheets of material, each rib is divided into two pieces using a curvilinear dovetail joint for reconnection. Rigid insulation and masonite are laminated together to create a high density, light weight construction that is durable enough to withstand day-to-day wear from travel. Polycarbonate on both sides allows for light transmission and visibility while maintaining a reduction in noise levels.

PARABIOTIC ELASTICITY Cincinnati, OH Instructor | Ming Tang Team | Trevor Jordan_Brian Ballock Contribution | Design Concepts_ Fabrication_Rendering

The purpose of this project was to explore material properties of casting urethane elastomers and their structural behavior. The form was derived based on tensile stresses and deflections of this material and behavior of a building skin component. The material performance became the design driver where the tensile stresses in the material were tested and adapted to a rigid frame. CNC-milled high density foam mold served as the casting medium for liquid urethane elastomers. Series of lines were cut in the mold to form surface texture on the components. After all individual urethane elastomer components cured, they were assembled using aluminum connectors.
