PROCESS
COLLECTION
1
Establish a collection.
2
Create a “Curiousity Cabinet” in which to house the collection.
3
Using the collection and cabinet, create “Infinity Drawings” to begin generating form and ideas.
4
Site analysis and initial design concepts
5
Main archival space for collection as well as a garden space connecting the collection with the site.
This collection is centered around aerial photography and the documentation of our natural landscape. focusing primarily on the idea of the Anthropocene and how we as humans shape our enviroment over time. These images, taken from above, offer a new perspective and insight of our enviroment that produce abstract pieces of art. This collection will archive, store and reimagine the pieces to directly influence the spaces in which the inhabit. Creating new and unique perspectives for visitors to observe and reflect on the impact we have on this planet during our time here.

PHA SED CO NSTRU CTIO N
PHASE 1: An incision is carved from the quarry edge, extracting the material to be later recycled as the primary building material.
PHASE 2: The production facilty is constructed atop the incision, to be where the material + blocks will be brought, then lower and distributed to their final location.
PHASE 3: Blocks are lowered to the bottom, slowly constructing the first spaces including the lower gallery space.
PHASE 4: Over time the construction continues vertically, creating circulation, service, and other primary spaces forming the buildings program.
PHA SE D CON STR UCTION With the simple gesture of cutting an incision within the perimeter of the Bellwood Quarry. The human intervention is created, at the same time providing the materials necessary to build. Starting with the production facility at the top, spanning the void that has been extracted, the material is able to move through this space, being cut, carved, and printed. It then is lowered down through the shaft and distributed to it’s desired location. Over time the spaces theoretically construct themselves recycling the material once removed. Once fully assembled, using multiple means of construction and implementation, the blocks are able to continue being created and distributed throughout the rest of the Bellwood Quarry, continuing the project for decades after and providing new and unique experiences.
PHASE 5: The upper gallery is fully constructed, completing the main spaces housing the collection - from here the construction can continue elsewhere around the quarry.

ENVELOPE
Variation 1: The parameters for the window cutout are adjusted to make the window slimmer, controlling the amount of light let into the space and the views outward.
Variation 2: The thickness of the panels is increased to change the appearance of the skin. This would be useful for concealing the structural system beneath.
Variation 3: The length to which the window cutout is stretched to span the length of the structure allowing light into the remaining gallery spaces.

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
Envelope: Using the larger base rectangle to extrude and create contours from, the panel system is create and the window is cut out.
Structural system: Using a slightly offset rectangle inside of the larger one used for the envelope, the structural truss is the created with a series of contours creating the beams and diagonal cross bracing.
Integrated systems: using the offset larger and smaller rectangles to generate the panel and structural systems, both system are able to snugly fit within one another, adapting to each other parametric changes.
Massing: The basic form to which all other systems are derived from.

DESIGN VARIATIONS - INTEGRATED PARAMETRIC SYSTEM
Variation 1: The amount of contours is reduced in both the paneling system and structural system, allowing a less obtrusive structure and gaps in the panels to filter light. The Twist itself is also able to be stretched to the length of the building.
Variation 2: The overall length of the structure is reduced, making the buidling shorter in length. The size of the panels is increased but drastically decreasing the amount, for a simpler design approach.
27
Variation 3: The densitu of the structural elements is rapidly increased while the panels are slightly larger, requiring a smaller amount to cover the structure. A hybrid of the previous two variations.

LATERAL FORCES
INTEGRATED BUILDING SYSTEMS 01 COLLABORATORS: Kelsey Corcoran Luke Davis Katelyn Dimopoulos Yongsheng Li Amelia McLean Isiah Wilson
DESCRIPTION Our project consisted mainly of shear wall types fitting within eachother to create a tower like structure to resist lateral forces. Three main vertical walls make up the main structure with horizontal bracing snugly notched within creating “floor-like” plates. These plates are notched and wedged into a secure place using wooden wedges applied to the outside shear wall members. Lateral forces are to be taken and distributed down the length of the structure through the shear wall system. TESTING Tower Weight: 19.5 lbs Strength: 134 lbs Weight to Strength Ratio: 6.87 Cause of Failure: Shear wall failure at wall section near base due to tension forces. Voids made adjacent structural members prone to shear under tension.
