Perspective drawings Location of perspective drawings were chosen to emphasize the type of desired perspective, one or two point. Most drawings are one point perspectives and were drawn in places with long hallways or repetitive series of facade elements. The final two point perspective was drawn in a corner to exaggerate the two vanishing points.

Charcoal drawings Drawing charcoal studies provided a new way of seeing shade and shadow as a spectrum of tonal values. This new way of thinking allowed the drawing to take a three dimensional shape as the tones transitioned along the scenes armature.

Interaction Studies
Analysis Diagramming / geometric order / proportion / modules
Orthographic & 3D drawings For this exercise, a salt shaker/ pepper grinder was used to establish a basic understanding of drawing type representations. The object had many internal pieces and was easily dismantled. The object was studied in how it is used, its geometric order to shape the hand, and its internal system versus its external shell.
Material Study 1 / chipboard This study explored the material characteristics of chipboard and how its qualities are utilized in order to create a system of joined modules. Because of the dense layering, the material is strong enough to be joined via lap joints and allows for dismantling then reconfiguration.

STUDIO I
Analysis Diagramming / chipboard ties join modules Material Study 2 / cardboard & chipboard joints Cardboard provides more flexibility than chipboard when cut in between the corrugation. Due to this material quality, the cardboard is split and bent into looped shapes. The rigidity of the chipboard provides a sturdy connecting element. Strips of chipboard weave through the modules as the primary joining element.
Material Study 3 / cardboard & chipboard The final study uses material combinations learned from the previous one and recreates the module to become more easily replicated. The different lengths of strips are joined at their base via chipboard joinery. The internal loops can be pushed outwards to create space depending on how loose the base joint is made. The module is scaled up and applied to the human scale. This creates wearable architecture that exaggerates movement of the arm.
Applied to Human Scale / scaled up module emphasizes arm movements
12 / WEARABLE ARCHITECTURE /
STUDIO I
Wearable Architecture / accentuating arms moving in space The module of the third material study is applied the human scale as a system that emphasizes the movement of the arm and the suggested space it creates. The system is also applied to the shoulder to accentuate the arm even when they are resting. A chest piece was added for additional support to control the movement of the bottom modules more efficiently. Similarly, the head piece provides control of the shoulder modules to aid their positioning when expanding and contracting. The cardboard strips are connected at their base with wire woven through the corrugation. Stretchy wire was used to join the top and bottom modules over the arm to synchronize their movement.

WHITETAIL WOODS CAMPER CABINS Architects: HGA Architects and Engineers Location: Whitetail Woods Regional Park, 17100 Station Trail, Farmington, MN 55024, US Area: 227.0 ft2 Project Year: 2014 These camper cabins, a set of three, give the effect of entering a tree house; occupants enter from an adjacent trail and view the forest framed by the large window facing south into the dense woods. The cabin is built on concrete pillars to minimize the impact on the surrounding wilderness. The cabins hover at about arm’s-reach in order to create privacy and intimacy with the wilderness. Supported by a bathhouse further up the hill, the cabin accommodates campers with bunk beds, a sleeper sofa, storage spaces, and additional seating. The dark shingles blend with the forest, while the warm scheme of the interior invites cold occupants.

STUDIO II
Skin & Bones / uncovering structure The primary structure consists of a column-beam system with larger concrete piers on the exterior. The building envelope covers the concrete finish through aluminum paneling and a curtain wall system. Supporting the skin are members that act as ribs placed and bolted perpendicularly to the systems.

Textures of Architecture Building / bark / metal grate/ cmu surface
Texture Studies Among a number of initial studies, three textures were chosen as the next project’s focus. The three textures were diagrammed for several methods of order and composition: vertical order, horizontal order, pattern, modules, articulation of pattern and order. The second texture, metal grating, was chose as the main texture to be implemented into an expansion of 2D pattern.

4” x 12” Tile Expansion / 2D to 3D pattern The 2D pattern was given new rules as its length grows three times as long. The studies manipulate the size and orientation of the modules in order to create a gradient flow and transition, which was inspired by the nature of the module’s geometry.
The modules in the 3D texture of poplar wood were creating using a reciprocating carving tool. The surface in between the modules was hand carved in order to make the modules pop out as figures against the ground.
charcoal studies exaggerate flow effect
Final 12” x 12” Tile Expansion The third pattern study was implemented into the final, which involves gradually turning the modules as the expand and contract in size along the surface of the tiles. The idea of flow is continued and complements the geometry of the modules as though they were petals flowing in a river’s stream.

Tile Joinery / 2D to 3D pattern Following the same 2D pattern, new rules were extracted and implemented into another 3D study. This 3D pattern achieves a stronger depth as the layers of interlocking circles are stacked on top of each other. Translated into a wood model, the modules are scaled up and held together with dowel and spline joinery.
Final 3D Tile Pattern / an interactive development The nature of the dowel joinery allows for interaction as the modules turn along their offset pivots. The middle layer remains stationary as the modules are joined via splines in a grid pattern. However, the top and bottoWe original study model.

Applying 3D Patten to Studio Facade The circles of the 3D pattern are oriented according to specific views and level of visibility at standing height, sitting height, etc. The openings allow for ventilation and are easily closed compared to the existing window operation system.
The modules rest on a parametric grid that remain straight at the top and connected to a curved line at the bottom to create more floor space for studio storage. The turning panels provide a kinetic interaction providing levels of privacy.

P KUNDIG
Olafur Eliasson, an experiential installation artist, and Tom Kundig, a Seattle based architect, direct their studios in parallel. Both strongly believe in thinking by making, so the site requires spacious fabrication studios as well as regular studio spaces. This separation of public versus private creates a model for integration via circulation. The building features several pathways of private and public transitions between the programs; its form aims for continuity and becomes a LOOP that wraps the programs, enclosing private spaces while visually opening the space at street level.

STUDIO III
A Study on Usage and Typology Through the Square Marietta Square is composed of a small commercial area surrounded largely by residential zones. A pathway drawn through the site begins at one-story homes, passes through small retail and restaurants around its perimeter, and ends at the civic court houses. The project turns its attention to the center of the Square by aligning its second floor’s axis to the center of Glover Park. These movements create exterior space for the studios, allow for ceremonial and contrasting staircases, and a break from the strong facade edge. HANSELL ST CHEROKEE ST NE

The program calls for fabrication studios in the basement, which causes a separation of public versus private spaces and creates a model for their integration via circulation. This transition from private to public to private is also inspired by zoning pathway drawn through the square.

Process / studying circulation through programs The common usage of red symbolizes the variations and uses of circulation to reconnect the separation of private spaces as well as opening the first floor to the street as the public layer. The final model also continues the consistent theme of incorporating wire mesh, which can translate as a semi-transparent facade through the use of fritted glass.

Structure & Circulation The core is tied to the vertical column where a megastructure becomes its tectonic language tying the building to the ground at this centralized lift necessary for the artist and architect’s craft. Similar to the Square’s relationship to the city of Marietta as well as within the Square itself, circulation relies on a strong core. This project turns its attention to the center of the community by twisting its continuous strip to the node of Glover Park. These movements create exterior space on the second floor studios, allow for ceremonial and contrasting staircases, and breaks the strong facade edges seen typically around the square.

The entrances are insulated by transparent and semi-transparent vestibules that create entries from the street at every direction. An atrium greets visitors at the lobby entrance while connecting views from the private spaces to the public. A cafe greets the street in the front of the building causing visitors to circulate through the galleries before entering. The gallery spaces are kept open and can easily adapt to house the artist’s installations, which usually involve secondary enclosures that wrap around a space. The galleries block off most light since the installations are usually created with some phenomenological artificial source.

44 / SOL DUC CABIN by Tom Kundig / Olympic National Park, Washington State /
This cabin is located along the Sol Duc River in Olympic National Park, Washington State. The main floor is elevated above the ground due to the river’s occasional flooding. The plan includes a full bath, kitchen, bedroom loft, and living space complete with a deck overlooking the forest. The building’s use of raw materials allows it to blend in with the surrounding landscape. The sliding panels completely enclose the building’s skin from the exterior, decreasing light pollution and confusion
of local wildlife. The primary structure of the cabin consists of a series of W-shape steel beams and caissons. Views to the exterior are created via curtain walls that extend along both stories. All curtain walls have sliding panels that are operated through man-powered mechanisms, creating a direct relationship between the inhabitant and their involvement with their immediate environment.

A Disconnection to the City Experiencing an average of 23,000 boardings every weekday, the Lindbergh Marta Station joins the Red and Gold line and is the second largest station in Atlanta. Originally, the station was one building. However, to accommodate residents in new mixed-use housing, a new road, However, this creates and unused exterior space and makes the station even less prominent within its context.

The fanned tail of a peacock presents interesting geometry that when diagrammed creates the mapping of a structural truss system. This system can be applied two-dimensionally as an expandable fan and three-dimensionally as an expandable dome. This system can be applied as a
kinetic roofing or wall system that divides space according to program. It can also be applied as an expandable shell structure that can create temporary space. The base supports arches compose primary structure. arches have gaps

Redirecting Circulation to Program Addition Due to Marta’s Redevelopment projects around Lindbergh Station, a new community is forming in new mixed used residencies. The urban setting should respond to these changes by transforming the station into a place where people not only separate, but also gather. The station’s program should convince Marta service users to stay and take the next train.
