H ARVE ST program: Migrant Farmer Housing location: Coachella, CA class: ARCH 401 year: Fall 2014 description: Movement and change are inevitable in migrant housing communities. It is difficult to create a traditional home in an ever-changing environment: a problem many migrant families face. A permanent solution to a dynamic problem is not the answer. The goal of Coachella’s Harvest Community is to provide a framework that lends itself to change and adaptation as well as offering a solid connection to the existing community: something that many migrant families long for. The Harvest is a high-performing complex that not only houses people who harvest, but also harvests energy, water, food, and healthy community members.

Garage Installation Indianapolis, IN ARCH 301 Fall 2013
description: Scrap Wall is an exploration into creating an installation with scrap wood without the use of nails, screws or glue. The process involves developing a standard means of construction in order for this wall to be recreated with any type of wood for multiple uses. This specific installation is located in an existing garage made of wooden palettes. Inspired by the way light filters through the palette walls, this installation seeks to filter light in a similar way. The result is pieces of wood that are drilled in the center and stacked on rebar at a set distance apart. The wood can then be rotated in order to alter light that penetrates the space.

Student Housing Fort Wayne, IN ARCH 202 Spring 2013
description: Cars travel in a grid, but pedestrians do not necessarily do so. Mapping possible pathways through the site informs the placement of the dormitories to insure a light footprint. The overlapping balconies create a sense of connection to the site and community within. The façades facing the street represents the grid system familiar to the city. Moving into the site, the traditional building falls away and the grid is modified. The concrete masonry blocks transition to become precast concrete pieces sweeping horizontally across the building. The horizontal nature of the architecture further emphasizes the importance of the movement within the site and the degradation of the grid.

A Cabin in the Woods Seymour, IN ARCH 314 Spring 2014
description: As an edition to a family campground, Lakeview Cabin seeks to house one family comfortably. The design of the cabin maximizes both views and sunlight from the south. Windows are specifically placed on the southwest and northeast sides to maximize summer ventilation, and a mass wall on the northwest protects the cabin in the winter months.

Craft Manufacturing Indianapolis, IN ARCH 301 Fall 2013
description: Indianapolis is a blue-collar city.; manufacturing is in its DNA. When many manufacturing businesses went under, so did much of the city, resulting in over 15,000 vacant homes. Now, city planners are looking for ways to make manufacturing local again. Locality is not “Architecture”; it is a generic manufacturing building that can be applied to a variety of sites. This generic building becomes local depending on the community. The size and skin of the building both change to respond to the building use and location. Locality is about people who are trying to find their sense of purpose, place, and pride. It is about people owning their community. It is about people liking where they live because they had their own influence on it. 11

Partnering with Arsenal Tech High School is one way Locality can become integrated in one specific community. With a Career Technology Center in place, Arsenal Tech students will thrive with a place to work hands-on, where they can make their education meaningful by applying what they are already learning. Students craft moveable panels that are inserted as the skin of the workspace part of the building. 13

Manufacturing does not necessarily need to be big business. Partnering with local workers to build a smallscale craft manufacturing building is another permeation of Locality. This building provides community members
with a space to learn about growing their business and develop their manufacturing process, where education and materials are provided. The existing brick building is reused to create an inviting front porch. 14

Border Crossing Station Detroit, MI ARCH 302 Spring 2014
description: This border crossing station innovatively uses steel to celebrate integration between built and natural environments. Four tilted steel arches spanning the length of the building provide the main structure for the lifted roofscapes, which are attached by tension cables. The span of the arch avoids interior support, creating a vast uninterrupted customs hall, allowing both motorists and pedestrians to engage the building. These green roofs counteract the heat-island effect of exposed blacktop and encourage the “Greening of Detroit� as a new icon and gateway for the city.
