Each individual is unique and by understanding our own form, we begin to understand other forms. The 1:1 scale recreation of the body, allows repetition and sections to describe its composition. Using the life sized clone as a “site�, strips of bass wood and zip ties respond by creating a organic composition in the focal point of the clone.

DURATION
The importance of scale and space relative to the size and location is what the Human Scale project investigates. Through composition, the project explores how space can be experienced. After selecting a scale, four drawings were developed. Three are manipulations of the first, each a building section rotated at 90, 180, and 270 degrees from the original.

Technology has made many advancements in the field of architecture; however the importance of drawing can never be omitted from the profession. 132 Drawing Communication focused on expressing design through composition and hand drawing. Creativity is most honestly expressed through the mind, eyes and hand and without drawing we lose a sense of human connection to our designs.

In this project, designs were based off of three past architects. From researching their buildings and design processes, we begin to “learn from the masters”. Our design included the merging of “the masters” and creating our own intervention to link the different architects designs together.
THE MATERIAL
THE DIAGONAL Black rectangular pieces of chip board and zipties were the two materials used for the intervention.
The main use of the zipties, were to create a contrasting diagonal grid that intervined through the buildings.
MY OWN
RUDOLPH
This model is the linking point of the intervention. By using parts from each of the three masters, a combination of all four designers are featured.
Rudolph has the ability to play with proportion, repetition and composition. This model tries to pull some of these techniques. Built with computer parts and staples, the meticulous layering mimics Rudolph’s designs.
M I E S VA N D E R R O H E Mies’ intervention was influenced by Crown Hall, Illinois Institute of Technology. By incorporating the diagonals, Mies’ simplicity remained, while the theme of the new intervention tied the design to the rest of the composition.
KAHN Kahn’s buildings have a consistant monumental feel them. His work uses simple but heavy geometric forms. His model incorporated these design features.

Located in downtown Honolulu, Thomas Square is a 6.5 acre park on the border of the arts and cultures district.The current contion of the park remains run down and constantly occupied by homelessness. In 2013 mayor Kirk Caldwell included one million dollars in the current Fiscal Year budget for the revitialization of Thomas Square. The project was to redesign the park so that it would become part of community and unite different districts.

CONCEPT
TREES
TRELLIS
The concept for the park derived from a native Hawaiian plant, Kalo, which is used in various ways by many native Hawaiian people and has been an important resource in the Hawaiian culture. The plant is broken down into three parts, the root (kalo), the stem (ha) and the leaves (lau). Similarly the park is broken down into three parts the center represents the root or the heart, which holds the park together. The path ways become the stems connecting the root to the various parts of the park. Lastly, the leaves are represented by the three main areas of the park.

SHIPPING CONTAINER Hawaii ships more than 90 percent of its goods, therefore, the island has an abundance of shipping containers. The shipping containers can be used as an inexpensive basic building block that is easily transported, can withstand incredible stresses and can be used for both temporary and permanent structures. Not only would the container be highly cost efficient but it would be easy to maintain. Though the general form and appearance of the container could be modified, my design tried to keep the container similar to its original form. This allows the general public to appreciate and be educated in the positive transformation of a sustainable design.

As part of a design charrette the Mongolia House Completion called for a traditional American house design that could be prefabricated in the United States and built in Mongolia. Teams had to interpret the meaning of an “American style home”.

For the challenge of designing a rain shelter, we thought it necessary first to consider the meaning of shelter. Shelter is commonly understood to be a place giving protection from danger, but in the Hawaiian language, the word for shelter, Wahi Lulu, can also be interpreted as Place of Calmness. With our design, we sought to create a place that not only acts to protects its users from the weather, but also to embrace the beauty of it. The roof structure is designed to shed rainwater onto the vegetated rock wall to remind the users that although we may need protection from the rain, we cannot forget that it is the source of life.

The construction process of the design incorporates simple wood framing techniques and standard slab-on-grade foundation. The vegetated rock wall follows typical gabian wall construction. Corrugated steel panels will be bolted onto the wood trusses as well as suspended by steel rods. The overall process is simple and could be managed by any contracting group.

Kuleana Function
Our pavilion makes use of expansive overhangs to shield from both sun and rain. The open plan allows for air to flow freely through the space, maintaining a comfortable environment. Seating is placed to orient the users towards the windmills for convenience of presentation viewing.

GRAPHIC DESIGN AIAS PA N Communicating graphically is an important aspect of any type of design, and in architecture a skill that is necessary to the profession. As a part of the AIAS Hawaii (American Institute of Architecture Students) Graphics team, posters, flyers and digital media help to communicate dates, events, and news to the public. The majority of graphics featured are part of AIAS’s monthly PAN (Paper Architecture Night) event.
