Clemson rowhouse The Clemson Rowhouse is a Community Center and Collegiate Rowboat storage facility for the city of Clemson, South Carolina. The Clemson Rowhouse is shedding light on the growing sport of rowing while bringing together the people of Clemson, Clemson University, and visiting collegiate rowing teams. With sustainable luxury, this rowhouse is able to collect its own potable water, provide shade for all the boats while still providing sweeping views to the outdoors and accounts for passive ventilation

connecting community A connection to the outdoors and views to the lake were essentail in the design of the Clemson Rowhouse. Transparancy between spaces within the building allow for a constant connection and showcaseing of the 62â&#x20AC;&#x2122; long collegiate rowboats. Directly upon entering the building, you have direct views to outside, to the boat showcase, and to the erging machines.

The program progresses from the most public spaces (lobbyboat showcase), to the most private (offices) and is reached by a shallow ramp that allows accessibility and for the building to be worked into the topography. The erging room looks out to a pool which seemlessy blends views from inside, to the water, and then to the lake.

Structural integrity The Rowhouse is composed of concrete sheer walls to allow for siesmic loads and water control. The roof is supported by hybrid steel and wooden tension trusses spaced every ten feet to allow for roofs with large overhangs while still providing a lightness to the sweeping roofs. The large overhanging roofs allow for a completely shaded facade for the Southern exposed curtain wall. The curtain wall system is a double layered structural glass system with glass fins for a seemless appearance.

connecting clemson Movable doors aid in opening the interior to the outside, further emphisizing the notion of flexible space. By sinking the building into the ground and utilizing the topography as amphitheater seating, the building respects the adjacent church and strengthens the connection to downtown. The Gallery creates an outdoor oasis for studying, relaxing, and reconnecting with nature while still producing revenue for Trinity Church via rentable indoor space for baquets and weddings along with underground parking. The Gallery serves to bring the first nature oriented, and artistic community space to downtown Clemson.

This two week project was created to solve the problem of a redundant, and outdated apartment complex facade in Clemson’s downtown area. Campus view will be made new with this urban, modern, and eye catching facade. Breaking completely away from brick and siding and entering modernity with glowing polycarbonate, Campus View will now be ‘The view from campus’. With reflecting, oscilating tiles, the facade will be ever-changing and will appear to fade into it’s surroundings. Light will be revieled from behind the fins on windier days and Campus View will become a beacon of Downtown Clemson. This is a first step towards Clemson’s new identity and advancement to the future of downtown. wind tessellated kinetic facade

Professor | Marcel Erminy Partner | Tamara Drury Tamaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Contribution | Parti Diagrams, Structure Framing Plans, Floor Plans Revit model created by both, structural details created by both

The MediaLab Houston is designed as a meeting place for professionals from all over the world to come together and develop new technology in a way that invites the community to both observe and participate. The inspiration for the flexible space planning comes from the musical concept of modulation. The building allows for change just as modulation in a piece of music marks the change from one tonality to another. The open plan and use of a structural grid allows for future space changes as the needs of technology continue to evolve.

The concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;apparent architectureâ&#x20AC;? is defined by making the purpose and activities in the building visible to the surrounding community. For example, glazing on the ground level incites curiosity from the community by providing views of the activity inside of the MediaLab Houston. Apparent architecture, made possible by the large glass void intersecting the building, serves as the defining architectural statement and provides natural light into the space. The views from the different floors allow for various sightlines into and from the labs and auditorium.

Integrating the steel lattice The steel lattice structure is offset 1â&#x20AC;&#x2122; -6â&#x20AC;? from the interior glazing, and the angles of the di-grid are driven by the angle of the cantilever. Custom spider fasteners keep the glazing panels in place and connect the glazing to the steel lattice structure. The weight of the glazed panels travels into the steel lattice via the spiders, then into the columns, and ultimately down into the piers in the ground.

Dual Grid System

systems

Two structural grid systems are incorporated in Medialab Houston. A steel system was chosen to span both the 30’ x 45’ regular grid and the 25’ x 31’-8” shifted grid. The dual grid system meets at most major points and only requires a few transfers of beams. The cantilever is made possible by a truss system that extends into the sheer walls of the elevator shaft.

Medialab Houston is designed to be an efficient building that is responsible in its energy usage. Drains collect rainwater, due to Houston’s flooding issue, and recycle this as potable water. The high solar impact will help to heat the building in the Winter and allow for a lower lighting power density. Two 150 ton chillers will be installed for redundancy and AHU’s will be stacked on each floor for easier piping.

A Place For everyone Medialab Houston is a place for professionals and the greater community. Impromptu meetings are made possible by our open floor plans, main central stair, and first floor cafe. Ideas are meant to be shared and advanced and Medialab Houston provides a place for the people to learn, explore, produce and create. Due to mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everchanging nature, this building is designed to adapt, and be repurposed where needed because of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonimpeding structure and availability of open space.

As part of the exploration of object oriented ontology as it relates to architecture, this project is part of an architecture which is truly for itself. There is no subject who has agency over the object as it operates on a flat plane of immanence. The object does not share any medium of communication with the human onlooker, but exists under its own conditions where it is the qualities of accumulation and complexity. There is a mereology formed by the constant engaging of the parts in the building, which eludes all human cognition, and remains only under the realm of its own ontology. Due to this condition, the humans’ understanding of this mereology is reduced to mere mechanism that becomes its own form of distortion. The exact substance of the object is difficult to conceive, as it is more easily understood as a node of complexity that has the quality of accumulating qualities. There are no literal nodes of influence or specific forces that act on the object, but the object’s complexity and its abilities to distort are fundamental in the substance of the object. Several systems of articulation form a density of information that is ever increasing in weight, giving the object not a static presence, but a presence that seems to elude what humans can understand in the instance of the present.

The object The disconnection from the human is evident all throughout the project as it sits atop a plinth, eliminating any mutual ground condition between the human and the object. The entry fully embodies this idea as one is denied visual access to the object as they enter the building from underneath the plinth. The object conceals itself and does not reveal any information to a participant due to the stark lack of stimulation and absence of surface articulation on its base. Perched atop this plinth, the object becomes ungrounded, further estranging it from the anthropocentric, which reinforces its respective ontological existence. Having been removed from any grounded context, the object aggregates into a system of nemat spaces above the plinth, which becomes the quality of porosity. The system of nemat spaces and, the qualities of the mereology are one in the same, as each cannot exist in the object without affecting and becoming apart of the another. This interaction between these properties results in a complex porosity where certain spaces are reduced to uninhabitable nooks, while others span vastly throughout the object.

Duello in Cucina has a dual function as a parking garage for the city of Castiglion Fiorentino and an interactive chefs kitchen for locals and visitors. With three floors of parking, the motor vehical presence in the town center is alleviated and more pedestrian activity can be introduced. The dueling kitchens combine the flavors of tuscany with other world cuisines by way of interactive cooking classes and a new type of dining experiance. The design plays into the materiality of it’s Tuscan surroundings by way of its stucco facade, but brings a new view to the hillside by opening up its south-east side with glass curtain walls and steel roofs with large overhangs. The architecture of the building helps to emphasize the kitchens as Lobby Interior Rendering beacons that can be seen from the road below.

Studying aborad taught me much about myself, what I want in life, and what truly matters to me. Learning to slow down, absorb my surroundings and embrace the cultures were all part of my study abroad experiance. Trips around Italy including Venice, Rome and Florence along with travels to Paris, Amsterdam and London, helped to expand my views on the world and in turn views on design.

Chaos, Claustrophobic, Relief This two-week long project was designed in order to evoke different emotions in three distinct spaces. By following the path, you experience claustrophobia, to chaos, to relief. Because of the combination of form and decoration, shadows and light, and positive and negative spaces, the viewer is forced to interpret the spaces for themselves.

The Whiteread museum, located in the warehouse district of Dallas, is a gallery specifically designed to house Rachel Whiteread’s works of art. Rachel Whiteread is an artist who works with objects and their negative spaces. She brings a different perspective to everyday objects by creating forms out of their negative spaces using materials such as concrete or colored resin.

Circulation Within Exterior

By creating multiple overlooks and vantage points from the main circulation spaces, the works of art are able to be analyzed from many different points of view. Natural lighting helps to enhance Whiteread’s art, along with connecting the main attraction, House, to the outdoors so it is in contrast with the warehouse district. By adding roof terraces, visitors are able to view Whiteread’s outdoor pieces, such as Monument, from above, and from the below outdoor garden. A ten foot wall closes off our garden space to create a serene and separated environment for visitors to enjoy; a peaceful escape from the urban location. On the exterior of the building, the materiality of the walls is designed to designate the function on the interior. The circulation walls are concrete with a mesh screening overlayed on top. The gallery walls are a smooth concrete divided in pannels. This materiality coincides with Whiteread’s artworks.

Take in the surroundings The site for the Whiteread Museum is on the outskirts of downtown Dallas, and surrounded by warehouses. Directly next to the building are 100 foot powerlines. To pay respect to the site, and embrace the surroundings, there is an easement at the back of the museum that houses four powerlines. This gives the viewer a sense of where they are and the powerlines act as works of art in the garden. Behind the powerlines is the Dallas skyline, which can be seen from the cafe and the easement.

Equestrian Center At millican reserve Professor | Phillip Tabb

Individual Project

Master plan includes designs by | Abbe Emerson, Ana Escobar, Davis Eubanks, Daniel Garcia, Andrew Gazda

This equestrian center, located at Millican Reserve in Millican, Texas was designed in order to create an enviornment for both horses and people that was functional and southern, yet with a modern twist. With exagerated facades, and a mixed use of materials, this design will draw in visitors, and the horses will make them stay. By basing my design on two main axis lines, I created a space for safe human passage where the horses will be in sight, but at a safe distance from visitors until interaction with the animals is desired. The second axis line is designed to house the horses and keep them at the heart of the facility. Natural skylights and visually interesting upward ventilation systems are in place to ensure safety and a comfortable enviornment for people and horses. The materials of this center will consist of metal for the roof, stone facades for the entry way, and wood for the majority of the exterior.

Professor | Julie Rogers Individual Project “Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.” -Richard Meier

Planar elements, hierarchy and a strong distinction between public and private spaces create a harmonious design in Richard Meier’s Smith House. These techniques were represented in a shadow box by abstractly using design ideas employed by Richard Meier’s designs.

Public and private spaces were shown as seperate spaces by using different materials, wood for the private, and plexi-glass for the public spaces. The chimney element gains hierarchical importance as it extends from the back of the box to the foreground, and in doing so engages with the main frame of the shadow box to become the main focal point.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster and leaves less room for lies.â&#x20AC;? -Le Corbusier

My love for art and drawing is what made me explore a future in architecture. Drawing has forever been a passion for me, and is something that I like to incorporate with my architecture. I believe there is something to be said about hand drawn art and needs to be re-incorporated into architecture practice.
