The zig-zag allows for movement of clips. the clips act as shading baffles on the exterior. The interior clips are smaller and function as operable windows as well as shelving/storage. closed state

Composite Systems Create a surface by using properties of a pattern found in nature and a pattern from a textile material. Think of how light interacts with the surface.

Facade Develop a building facade from the previous exercise. Consider the ways in which this facade relates to light and air in order to create a pleasant interior environment.

A tectonic zig-zag track sytem provides the apparatus for a mutable facade. Opaque and transparent clips are attached to the track in order to shade the interior space and provide ventilation.

summer

During the summer months opaque horizontal panels are positioned on the exterior of the facade to provide shading from direct light.

The horizontal panels also work as light shelves to bring daylight deeper into the space.

A portion of the light is reflected into the spaces above.

The exterior shading mitigates heat gain during the summer.

Throughout winter the vertically oriented panels are effective at shading the low angle solar radiation. Light is only shaded at eye level, while other light is admitted in order to passively gain heat. winter

Container

Objects

Construct a container for at least three objects. The container is to hold the objects in specific positions, explicitly considering: the relationship of each object to the others, and the relationship of the viewer to the objects.

The chosen objects are: Gatorade Bottle White Out Highlighter Bic Pen

Wireframe Consider how the characteristics of your objects and the construction of their positions activates space between them.

Planar Produce a model out of planar materials that speaks of the three dimensional spatial relationships of the objects.

Heirarchy

The wrapper obscures the labels upon each object. Slots are cut out of the wrapper in order to isolate specific views of the labels.

Both the plan and axonometric show the decreasing diameter of each cylindrical object along the wrapper.

Container


Wireframe 12 circles are derived by swinging an arc from the center of one object to a tangent on the other 3 objects. Wire is used to show the views to the other objects. The circles are reorganized from smallest at the bottom to largest on the top.

TA: Raf Godlewski

Constructing Spatial Relations

music wire + chipboard

The connection of these views constructs the space between each object. It activates a new space. At each point along the wrapper a uniquely different view is achieved. Interest is found in the distortion of objects cause by one’s perspective.

wireframe model photos


Planar

basswood+chipboard

Three points along the wrapper were chosen. From each point basswood is used to show how one’s vision would perceive the objects.

Each point of vision shows five separate viewing angles. The angles are used to show the distortion done by one’s vision upon objects when they are not in focus.

The construction of negative space is used to show the fields of vision from each point. In this manner, the visible outline of each object is shown.

The model starts to move away from the spatial connection between each object and move toward a comparison of unique viewpoints.

This begins to speak about the intangible qualities of perception.

A person’s impression of an object is affected by one’s view.

planar model photos

A spatial arrangement of cylindrical objects that took their characteristics into account led to an investigation about how an individual perceives objects.

An understanding of spatial relationships is integral in the foundation of architectural design.

Rock/Paper/Scissors In groups of 3 utilize a ream of paper to orient and erect a 50-75 lb. rock for a spiritual or cosmical ambition.

Group Members: Andrew Pries + Michael Wier

Monolith Translate the form of the rock/paper/scissor into a monolithic object. Primarily, subtract from this volume to create 1 large space and 1 small space.

Lecture Hall The program chosen is a lecture hall space. Auxillary programs include: cafe space, library, and computer lab. model photograph

Rock/Paper/Scissors: Monolith

Rock/Paper/Scissors The ream of paper is made into a weave. The weave cradles the rock into a delicate state of balance. If the counterweight of the weave were to be unrolled, then the entire system collapses. The duality between the light, tectonic weave of paper and the heavy, monolithic rock is captured best by two perspectival charcoal renderings. The contrast between the lightest lights and the darkest darks evokes the anxiety that surges as one witnessess this precarious balancing act. model photograph

Lecture Hall The expanding space of the rock was translated into a lecture hall, while the area where the weave was rolled up became a narrowing space for the library. The two spaces were a conterpoint to each other; one as an imtimate space for individual learning, the other a gandiose space for collective learning.

The site is located on Cornell University’s campus. Currently the site is home to the campus bookstore. Design a mosque, courtyard, campus store, and education space for this site.

Islamic Patterns work at many scales, and are used to create specific experiences within the sacred space.

Spatial Manipulation Site Analysis

ground-roof connection + site analysis

The location is a main crossroads for Cornell. The site has a 28 foot difference from the west side to the east side.

f i n

The integration of this system within the site starts by stamping the pattern into the ground.

f i n

A six pointed star pattern is used for the foundation of spatial relationships. The earliest model extrudes lines of the 2D pattern to ascending heights. Creating structural and spatial opportunities. The moments of intersection suggest a column supporting a framed roof structure. The density and variety of intersection displays opportunites for variation within the system. The mutability is used to create areas of focus.

The City Inscribed View the city of Barcelona as a workable canvas. Keep in mind how the layers of the city have developed over time and how the people interact with this environment.

‘Las Meninas’ Find a location in the city that speaks of the qualities found in Velázquez’s ‘Las Meninas.’ Using this location begin to translate the ideas into the city by working in series.

Pair of Spaces The shared surface between patient room and lounge acts as a partition. Visually it is disconnected, but sound can travel through to the lounge. It is intended to allow a visiting family to be near their loved one, without always disturbing the patient. In this way each party is granted more privacy.

Structural Cores

Site

Unit Design

Design an 18 unit apartment complex with a public program in downtown Buffalo at the intersection of Delaware Ave. and W. Chippewa St.

The private spaces exist within the mass. The shared spaces occupy the space between the mass.

Music Collab

While the size of the private space remains consistent within each core, the size of the infill space is flexible in order to accommodate varying occupancy needs.

The context to the site is an entertainment district. In order to create a strong bond to the community the residence houses people with musical interest. While the public program is a music retail space.

Mass

Private Space

Mass + Infill Throughout the design inhabitable vertical structure provides private space, while the interstitial space between these cores is used as shared space.

The strategy chosen for heating is a centralized hydronic radiant floor system. Thermal mass is embedded in the structural system of load-bearing concrete walls and 2-way floor slabs.

Ventilation

The strategy chosen for cooling is natural ventilation. Each residential unit is a three-aspect unit which allows for an adequate amount of cross ventilation.
