SHIFT: Bath house and rest area aims to create an intervention into the long road that parallels the Salt Lake in Utah on which no rest points currently exist. SHIFT greats visitors with multiple entrance points to the different programs that are offered at the rest stop. The west entrance offers a sloped walkway which takes visitors on a path underneath the multiple water collection ponds. These overlap one another and as they form connections create beautiful waterfall elements within the site. As each collection pond cleans and transfers the water to subsequent systems, eventually they reach the baths where the cleaned water cascades down to be used by the visitors. Adjacent to the baths is the cafĂŠ which is accessibly by both long and short term visitors.

Similar to the overlap of the water systems, the programs on the site overlap one another so that users can access multiple elements of the site through the connections they form with one another.

CORE sustainable marine lab spring 2012 studio 3b |instructor| phillip ra A lab is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific research, experiments, and measurement can be performed. When combining this particular experience with community involvement the built space needs to provide a way for the seamless interaction of these elements. Collecting, whether it is collecting people or archiving information, is what can bind these juxtaposing user experiences. In order for this particular marine lab space to have a seamless flow between public and private elements it is essential that a clear connection occurs. The development of multiple ‘cores’ which rise vertically from the bottom to the top of the building create meeting points and collecting oppurtunities for both public and private conditions. They provide for water storage and the collecting of research for the lab employees which is accessible from each program element depending on its particular need. The scientists use these spaces for archiving in lab areas while visitors can view information and collected marine samples in the gallery spaces. Each of the four ‘cores’ is a structural element for the building. While the majority of the cores serve as functional circulation paths on the inside of the building, one of them is used as a seawater collection system that aids in providing water for the wet labs. The building is self sustaining, providing for its own energy and water needs through the collection of rain water, use of solar panels, and wind turbines.

TWISTING canopy
FORMS
fall 2012 studio 4a |instructor| maxi spina Twisting Forms is a modular canopy system developed from the study of bandshell structures and their functional aspects. Mainly through the study of Michael Maltzen’s Playa del Vista Bandshell structure, a method was developed in which an octogonal structural frame can be used as a repeating element that is interconnected by twisting ribs. The ribs provide the capability of multible possibilities for the development of the structure and the space that it inhabits. The adjustable connections in the ribs allow for the changing of angles according to the twisting of the ribs or the angle of movement. Because of its modular components the canopy structure can be adjusted in order to meet the needs of a multitude of different spaces. The modules can be used to develope a large scale spatial canopy in which more repetitive movement can occur to create specific patterns. Likewise the structure can be adjusted to be used as a single unit which would provide shade on a smaller scale.

Public Collection of Private Moments spring 2013 studio 5b \\ thesis |instructor| peter culley + mark owen |thesis| Virtual media technology advancements over the last decade have enabled society’s functional capabilities to make a drastic shift from the physical to mobile. Social media outlets - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter - dominate the lives of 98% of the US’s online community, which is a little over 50% of it’s population. The sharing of images is particularly poignant as our iphones, the tools of access into the virtual world are now also the tools of our photo taking. The physical world, in looking to adapt to the necessities of this new mobile lifestyle, is also starting to demand new possiblities as we slowly tire of the saturation of information permanently stored in the virtual environment. Jennifer Siegal’s More Mobile: Portable Architecture for Today, suggests if mobile technology frees us from the limits of place it also can leave us feeling hollow and placeless, craving real people and locales. So how does society openly share its private moments in the physical world? Adaptable architecture, which allows for physical growth while maintaining mobility, can create oppurtunity where the sharing of images could respond to these issues. This is an architecture of unclear limitations and extending possiblities but where physical experience and face-to-face connections dominate.

Terra Nova 2013 artisan retreat september 2013 |organization| mosaic artisans |team lead| emerson nowotny Terra Nova is an annual three-day retreat that takes place over labor day weekend. For this years conceptual theme the design team focussed on the five senses for the development of each structure, in order to provoke new perceptions of space and inspire creativity. The entry way creates a majestic opening which initially hides the intricacies of what is actually going on inside the camp. The entrance also begins as a blank canvas where participants are asked to contribute to the space coming to life with color. Once the gates are opened to the camp visitors are confronted with several installations that represent the different senses. The first, a large fan in the center of a walkway examines the concept of tough through the spinning of the blades which are set in motion by the touch of wind. The next installation, built around an existing bridge represents the ear canal which draws people into a narrow space then widens once again to welcome them into a ‘new world’. These transitional spaces then lead to the courtyard which is the heart of the camp. Through the use of opaque and transparant materials along with ambient red lighting the base of a tree is transformed into a beating heart. From the branches of the tree, large birdcage swings are hung in which attendees can nestle and enjoy the atmosphere and plaza type space. Within the space is also a geodesic dome which exemplifies the eye and creates a new vision of your surroundings through the different framing achieved within each face of the dome. Each of these installations were built within 3 days as temporary structures for the use of the camp.

Furniture Design Installations multiple pieces 2011-present The designing and building of furniture pieces and installation elements allows me to stay connected to the human element of architecture. This is something that I’ ve always been passionate about as an essential part of the built environment in architecture. The ultimate inhabitant of all architecture is the everyman and his interaction with the space in the small scale informs his interaction on the large scale of the entire building.
