the farmer’s restroom fall 2014 | prof. Jeffrey Nesbit
Spaces within the structure are organized by the alignment of surfaces. The surfaces are set based on a 2:1 skip row planting system that some cotton farmers utilize. The rows adjust how the structure is situated and control how the program is activated. Through the extension and position of the surfaces, the circulation runs along the grain, parallel to the cotton rows. There are transitions that slip and travel across the grain and create sub-divisions. Surfaces along the grain are structural primary load bearing components and puncture through the secondary surfaces and depend on the stability of the other surfaces. these surfaces do not interrupt with the directionality of the structure and create four major zones that are divided into separate strips. They reinforce how the program is organized

surface realignment fall 2014 | prof. Jeffrey Nesbit
Different spaces create different interactions. The change in user density within the structure is what causes the mechanics of the assembly to activate. The assembly deploys up to limits through the processes of extension and rotation. The progression of being able to fold and collapse within itself as well as expand is what allows for the qualities of space to manipulate and transform. Secondary surfaces fold and shift into a different position, constructing a new deinition of the space. In Position 01, There is compressive, horizontally oriented enclosure. Though when activated in habitable, but rather interacted by sight and is elongated and tall, evoking a new experience between the user and space.

DIGITAL MEDIA STUDIES surface, box study, & platonic solid fall 2014 | prof. Dustin White
Surface study | Points and curves were manipulated in order to investigate how to map points and creaate subdivisions throughout material. Transformative methods including folding, pleating, or pinching created patterns and spatial typologies within the surface itself.
Box study | Transformative operations were utilized

stereotomic and tectonic assembly spring 2014 | prof. Lionnel Plummer
The ive scalar spaces throughout the structure were activated throught the operation of extending, wrapping and puncturing. The traces within the palimpsest/datum were utilized as the base for the cut and the planar mass. Once the cut was made, the planar mass was created so that it integrated with the palimpsest via the operations. Through the progression, the main focus relied not individually to the operations but rather the qualities of the spatial consequences created. The linear elements connect to the extrusions of the planar mass and shift, enclosing and formulating boundaries. The planar mass activates smaller scaled spaces by transform into larger extensive spaces. Every moment a planar element reaches the boudnaries of the assembly, it shifts and connects back to

The diagram studies the object/ield relationship between an apple slicer and the result of the substances poured through it (glue, ink, and soap). The device controls the way the substances travel within 3 seperate trajectories.
