Section 4.0 will unpack the different parts of the final exhibition by first explaining the exhibit space and its site conditions which assisted in defining the exact spatial zones for the exhibit. Second, the different scales of the space frame design as it is a relating to the exhibit space. And third, the hypothetical spatial block for the exhibit.

Section 4.0.1 —

Spooner Hall (Exhibit Space)

The university’s first library, this Oread limestone and red sandstone building was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Kansas City architect Henry van Brunt, who also designed the first chancellor’s residence immediately east of it. Both were built with the 1891 bequest of Boston leather merchant and philanthropist William B. Spooner, uncle of Francis H. Snow, an original faculty member and the fifth chancellor. Dedicated in October 1894, it was the library until 1924, when the much larger Watson Library opened.

Renovations to the exterior of Spooner Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, began in spring 2010 and were completed a year later. The work, by Nouveau Construction and Technology Services and the Western Construction Group, includes consolidating and patching deteriorated stone and replacing capstones that are beyond repair. The exterior was cleaned and waterproofed, and steel panels on upper walls wee repaired and coated to prevent further deterioration.

In 1926 it became the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art, housing collections that were a 1917 gift of Sallie Casey Thayer in memory of her late husband, Kansas City department-store magnate William B. Thayer of Emery, Bird, Thayer. These collections included ceramics, glassware, textiles and Asian paintings. In 1978, the artwork was moved to the new Spencer Museum of Art.

A courtyard on the south side of Spooner is named for Lawrence department-store owner Arthur D. Weaver.

The Museum of Anthropology opened in Spooner in 1979; it was renamed the Anthropological Research and Cultural Collections in July 2005 and became part of the Biodiversity Institute in fall 2006.

In fall 2007, Spooner Commons was completed as a joint project of the Hall Center for the Humanities, the Biodiversity Institute and the Spencer Museum of Art. The space on the main level is used for meetings, workshops, symposia and lectures, and exhibits on the arts, sciences and humanities.

The $500,000 project included new wiring, lighting and furnishings.

Spooner Hall primary exhibit space is approximately 3,645 (+/-), this is the area identified on the right. Within this area the exhibit have to design to choreograph an experiences that is wholistic to the vast open space. Thus, structural mapping and acoustical reflections of the ceiling began acting as rules to define boundaries within the existing space, 1.

Within the four primary exhibit spaces a grid was extracted from the ceiling pattern. The gird is then scaled to yield four densities, 1. The four densities are placed within their zone to act as a place holder for the spatial block, 2. Densities of the grid are reflective of four scales in design; body, domestic, urban, and infrastructure. These four scales act as programmatic factors for the hypothetical Cartesian spatial blocks, right.

The space frame component is applied to the four scales.

Beginning with the body (most dense) and transforming to the infrastructure (most porous). Within each scale the component also transform from density to porosity. The constant change in densities and porosities yields a wide range of applications for the component.

Section 4.0.3— Parametric Mapping

The parametric definition used to generate the structural configuration of the parts is defined by input and output vectors, 1. These vectors are used to perform a change basis operation to configure the structure and to apply structural loading. All the vectors have three parameters: 1. Point (centroid of the connecting face) 2. Direction (the path in which the part will configure in relation to the other parts) 3. Magnitude (the applied load at the specified point)

DOMESTIC: of or relating to the running of a home or to family relations.

The analysis of the proportions of the body acts as a geometric discipline to measure the pavilions. The vitruvian man by Leonardo da Vinci prescribes a body figure arms extending to reach the circle and that total length equates to the height, 1. The modular by Le Corbusier prescribes a system in which the total height of the body as the arm is raised is in proportion, 2. The two both neglect the what each considers, and a union of the two yields an all encompassing system, 3, 4.

To decrease the maximum allowed spatial zone, the proportion system is applied in section to subtract 8’ from the height of the spatial zone, 2. And a series of operational transformations is applied to each pavilion to create the final resultant, 3. The void in each pavilion is the geometrically inhabitable space, 4.

The transformation diagrams in the previous section represented a set of operations to apply to the structure once it propagates within the site bounds. The operations are derived from the survey that listed different aspects at each scale. Specific aspects from each scale was then taken and applied as a programmatic element to transform each structure. Other parameters that drove the deisgn are materail limitation, budget, structural feisablity, and fabricaiton time.

This first stage in the fabrication process was to optimize the sheet size (stock) with the number of shapes (parts).

In an ideal situation, where the tolerance is approaching zero and thus negligible, the maximum number of parts can be fabricated out of the minimum number of sheets. The following pages will display the number of parts laid out on one sheet per differing part.

Section 5.0.2 —

CNC 2.5 Axis Profiling

The CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Router is a digitally driven, coordinate based prototyping and production machine. The CNC mills materials utilizing a cutting bit fixed in a rotary spindle which traverses along an overhead gantry system. The gantry delivers the bit along the X, Y, and Z axis’ based on coordinates developed in relation to a 3D Model in the form of a tool path. Unlike a rapid prototyper, which prints a part layer by layer, the CNC will incrementally remove waste material revealing the part from within solid stock. A wide array of materials may be milled with the CNC when paired with the appropriate cutting bits including: wood, wood composites, cork, plastics, plastic composites, foam, casting wax, and non-ferrous metals. Though generally reductive in its nature, the CNC can also be implemented in augmented additive processes (ie. drawing, marking, scoring).

The slected material for this project will MDF and the CNC operation is 2.5 Axis Profiling. 2 1/2 Axis Machining creates toolpaths that follow 2D lines, or flat surface geometry, to cut to a programed depth. Cuts are determined by the X and Y coordinates at each point along the surface edge or line.

Cuts are made in depth increments to fit the tool’s cutting capacity. 2 1/2 axis milling is used primarily for cutting sheet materials.

Unlike the CNC machine the laser cutter run time is drastically longer. While the CNC processed more sheets and less parts; meaning less tool path travel distance, the laser cutter laser travel distance is remarkable longer. The number of parts per stock sheet increased by ratios of 3:12, 12:44, and 44:192. The laser cutter also has a tolerance control that is to the nearest 1/256” of an inch. Numerous test cuts were taking to achieve the closest approximation of .25”.

Section 6.0.1 — Exhibition Layout

On the right, the exhibition layout. The four main pavilions are nested with the zones that are created by the column grid. And the support work of process is printed on 17 x 11 spreads and displayed along the adjacent walls. On the right side of the space, the Column Model and analysis work is displayed and on the left side the Site Model and analysis work is displayed. The center aisle will hold primary referential text which was used through out the research.

Section 6.0.2 —

Flat Works

The section will detail all of the flat works which were composed for the exhibit at Spooner Hall. The flat works is organized such that each pavilion has a poster explaining its transformations and a fifth poster displaying the entirety of the exhibit.
