THE RISING
GRAD. 2 FALL SEMESTER, PROF. BOTOND BOGNAR, PARTNER: NORA HILPERT The site of 4th St and East Peabody Dr provides an ideal location for a building which can connect the dormitories and sports facilities on the west side to the south quad on the east side.

The buildings location on the site encourages the people who actively use the walkway in the north to use the path through the museum instead. This path is also an answer to the unused walkway north of the original KAM. The carefully placed elevators and ramps make the building a great contribution to the already ADA friendly campus.

PROGRAM DIAGRAM
The design and purpose of the Portland Courtyard will make this neighborhood an area of importance. This is helped by the current buses and traincars which stop along the building and provide public transportation to and from downtown Portland. Future development of the surrounding area is very appealing due to this building’s large occupance. Current aerial views show that the current site has an infastructure buildt for a very dense community, however the area starts to become dense a couple of blocks from the main streets. Portland Courtyard attempts to bring in an interest and density to this area of the community.
SITE MODEL
The ground is easily penetrable for the average person. It has a commercial space including a grocery store for the residents of the building and people from the neighborhood. The ground level also has a private garage for the residents creatLQJ FRQYHQLHQFH DQG à H[LELOLW\ IRU WKH WHQDQWV ZKR RZQ D FDU 0DQ\ SDUNLQJ VSRWV weren’t provided, because the building is adjacent to a street car and bus stop, so public transportation is highly encouraged and proves to be a cheaper alternative.
1ST FLOOR PLAN AND PROGRAM LAYOUT
The unit layout has an outer and an inner perimeter. The hallway has two cores with two elevators in the north-east and north-west portions of the building. There are also egress stairs on the west and east side providing every resident a safe exit in case of an emergency. The inner units have terraces looking out onto the public courtyard. The outer units have views of the Portland neighborhood looking out to the west, north and east.

Above: The form of the building shaped by the different unit types is meant to allow natural light to not only illuminate the inner units, but to also iluminate the public courtyard in the middle for a friendly and inviting atmosphere for the public. The terraces in the inner units are intended for greenspace so the accessability to sunlight is also very important. The for of the building is also intended to look grand and important without looking intimidating and unaccessible,.
Above: It was very important for this affordable living housing project to have a variety of units. The outer one (purple) is the most unique because it consists of a transformable shelving system which can change a room into different programs. Two of these units share a kitchen in between each other in order to create a communal environment and to save area for other units. The bottom inner units \HOORZ DUH WZR Ă RRUV DQG DUH PHDQW WR EH IRU IDPLOLHV
The green shades are each divided into a top portion which acts as a trasfomable device used to block sunlight and provide privacy while the bottom is used as a juliet balcomny for safety.

FROM BIGNESS TO THICKNESS UG 3 SPRING SEMESTER, PROF. CHRIS FRYE
This project involved combining four different theatres with a lobby that creates the most optimal circulation. The lobby was treated like an individual entity which would provide the necessary program to make the theatres functional. The existing theatres were chosen based on a variety of size, capacity and type. They were wrapped in an exterior
shell which complemented each other along with showing off their individual design. The interior of the lobby has a wood and leather pattern, which progressively gets larger as it reaches a higher altitude in order to achieve the illusion of grandeur which the inhabitants experience upon entering the space.

One of the major design elements of the Apple warehouse is the addition of terra cotta ceilings. Although this is not the most conventional design choice, we believe that this warehouse will have resale value not only for future warehouses, but different kinds of commerial programsas as well. Under each one of the four vaults in the tera cotta ceiling, there is a series of secondary duct branches which conveniently use the open space for a funcional purpose. Flourescent lights are installed on top of the ducts in order to illuminate the vaults which will ultimately light up the entire warehouse.
