instruments for entropy on a cincinnati hillside [Thesis 2013] Cincinnati’s geology is apprehended in the slumping and sliding of its hillsides. The entropic sites in which slides and other ground moving phenomena emerge resist the imposition of stable form, a tendency exacerbated by the processes of construction. The geologically mobile site gives power to the image of an unstable, fugitive and destructive nature. Rather than attempting to “solve the problem” of geologic instability or entropy, this project asks what it might mean for architecture to serve as an instrument that mediates human perception of the unstable environment. Inserted into the human/ nature boundary as an active mediator of the encounter with “natural” phenomena, the instrument makes possible a new orientation or perspective. The instrument re-frames and shifts scales, it overlays and blurs, to make manifest the inhuman slowness of changes in the hillside. In this sense, architectural instruments “recalibrate” the user with their unpredictable environment in a renewed process of observation. The design engages the slide prone soils and bedrock formations of the slope separating the Cincinnati Observatory from a burgeoning entertainment district below. A precariously positioned “sports bar” for viewing footage from the Mars Rover invites observation of the site’s geological processes and undermines assumptions about how we use instruments to navigate and inhabit our environments. On the geologically unstable site, the potential of the architectural instrument to reorient perception from static buildings and their outward forms to the to the delicate movements above and below inducts a new kind of stability founded in forms of change.

The initial move on the site is a simple cut that begins as a small parking area at the base of the slope and extends to the edge of the treeline near the top. From this clearing the buildings of the Cincinnati Observatory are visible. Almost immediately, the cut changes dimension as it has exacerbated the variable responses of the geologic formations (the Fairview and the Kope, at varying slopes) to water moving through the site. One side of the cut has been shielded from the elements with a moderately reflective wall that is marked with the layers of deposition and time scales. Fossil Hunters descend into the cut, the temporal and material scale of the “present� collides with that of geologic changes millions of years in the making.

“A crack in the wall if viewed in terms of scale, not size, could be called the Grand Canyon. A room could be made to take on the immensity of the solar system. Scale depends on one’s capacity to be conscious of the actualities of perception. When one refuses to release scale from size, one is left with an object or language that appears to be certain. For me scale operates by uncertainty.“ 15(Robert Smithson, The Spiral Jetty 1970) 100125-

illuminating subsurface displacement case study: slope inclinometer Slope Inclinometers measure the onset and continuing deformation within a bore hole by passing a probe along the length of its flexible casing. The depth at which horizontal deformation occurs is the slippage plane or failure surface of the landslide. As an architectural instrument, the slope inclinometer orients the observer to the movements occurring deep underfoot at imperceptibly slow speeds. This inclinometer provides wayfinding lights for the slope, communicating unstable subsurface movements to the observer as a means to navigate the site. Pole fixtures whose height corresponds to the depth of the bore hole illuminate most intensely at the location reflecting the most intense movements below the surface. Visitors are guided through portions of the site likely to be different with every visit.

the slow sounds of liquifaction: CAse Study: vibrating wire piezometer Elevated water content increases the pore pressure between sediment grains and reduces soil cohesion, a strong indicators of landslide risks. More specifically, there is a precise moisture content for each type of soil at which it ceases to act as a solid and instead takes on liquid properties.
Ryan Knighton’s observation of a single note change in John Cage’s “As Slow as Possible”, being performeed over the duration of the organ’s nearly 500 year lifespan embodies an encounter with the sounds of slowness.
The vibrating wire piezometer documents water levels in the soil. A small wire within the piezometer tip vibrates when “plucked” with an electromagnetic field. The frequency the wire produces when plucked is a function of the tension caused by pore pressure.
“Perhaps ten minutes have passed, and I’m becoming aware of the chord’s impurities. The faintest blemishes in tone pop and burn away like sparks. The sound heaves and exhales slightly, like the sigh or groan of a weary traveller...I’m standing in front of the organ now, and what began as noise has become a familiar hum. As I think of the generations who will take care of a song that assumed they would be there to keep it going...”
This least visual of the landslide instruments, attunes the visitor to the ‘music’ of the soil’s cohesion. The vibrating wire piezometer as becomes a musical instrument documenting spatial changes — requiring no human musician, but a community of listeners to maintain the instrument.

the observatory the instrument as architecture The bar explores the capacity of the architectural “window” as an active mediator of perception, rather than a transparent opening onto “nature” as it is generally conceived. Instead of minimizing the “interference” caused by ordinary glass, it is augmented by fresnel lenses that magnify the small movements of the surrounding environment, but also distort. These lenses blur and overlap the practices of astronomical and terrestrial observation, and complicate the boundaries of inside and outside, human/nature, and earth and mars.

evironment construction & detail [Fall 2010 + Spring 2011] At Cranbrook Academy Eero Saarinen’s historic architecture by has been supplemented in recent years with buildings by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Steven Holl, and Rafael Moneo— designers whose work continues the tradition of bringing together art, craftsmanship and engaged use that grounds the school’s pedagogy. This studio aimed to translate Cranbrook’s design values and maintain continuity with the existing campus through the integration of environment, construction, and detail. Environment refers to both the outside ecosystem of temperate deciduous forest of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and the inside variations in temperature and humidity associated with a wellness center. Construction points to both the systems used to fabricate the building, but also to the formal arrangement of built elements on the campus that structure the experience of moving through the site. Details then are the artful moments that create pause, bring down scale or express specifically, and sometimes beautifully, the qualities of a material or relationships between materials.

Construction & Detail CMU walls constitute the dominant structure and enclosure system for the wellness center. They are economical, allow a more flexible construction schedule than poured concrete in a cold wet climate, and maintain the heavy institutional character of the formal and academic campus axes. This system produces a layered wall, capable of incorporating new functions or aesthetic elements as additional layers are added or peeled away. In general, the metal fastening system becomes more prominent as the space between the loadbearing wall and cladding material or mechanical elements increases.

tectonics [Fall 2009] This studio required analysis and documentation of tectonic elements found on an historic Shaker farm, and the deployment of classic tectonic elements in the design of an archaeological and horticultural field research station. The resulting design combines tectonic elements found on the site with programmatic elements according to a quasi “archival� logic of selective demolition and reassembly. This architectural violence points to the uneasy coupling of past and present — the literal upheaval of one set of relations (Shaker farm) for another (university research station).

a temporary solution [Fall 2012] Shelters can be cheaply fabricated in cities, then shipped down the river to farming families during the growing season. Slotted pieces with friction fit joints are assembled by hand or with simple tools. A few final connections require simple hardware. A thickened wall allows for interior storage. Fold down beds and a pop-up table allow maximum flexibility for the interior space. When slow moving slides threaten the shelter, it can be pulled to a safer location by two oxen or a small vehicle.(With Alec Gardner and Joseph Southard)
collage [Fall 2011] Collage implies a way of working— tinkering with recycled materials and concepts to “make something work”— in which values of originality and precision are left to the artist and engineer. This studio proposed collage as the method best suited to the problem of how to work a montessori school, community arts center and museum open storage into an abandoned Kroger grocery store using only recycled materials. This project takes the position that the recycling yard pile functions as an extreme example of collage. Piles, heaps and mounds provide spatial structure and organizational schema for the accumulation of the seemingly endless supply of waste materials created by a consumer culture.
The model for this is not new, but has been adapted from geological processes. Deposited by dump trucks and sculpted by cranes, this landscape differs in that it is accumulated of pieces that retain their individual character. Because elements are not neatly subsumed into an integrated whole, but rather exist in a state of uneasy association, the pile challenges the representative capacity of perspective drawing. Collaging with chinese landscape painting promotes the simultaneous reading of depth and detail through layering and sequence. Because collage fragments carry with them cultural uses and associations, the mythic image of China that currently looms large in discussions of culture, manufacturing and education is also brought into play.

inside the pile programmatic erruptions
In a stratovolcano conduits of material force their way up through internal ruptures in the pile and then solidify. This network of different materials strengthens the integrity of the mound. Similarly, sights, sounds and activity from some program elements well up through layers of the others, creating unexpected connections and opportunities for creativity and learning. For example, the fencing structures allow visitors to the bar, lobby, and conference rooms visual access to “buried� artwork suggesting the ways that the archive of museum collections retains the quality of an archaeological site, inviting further digging into little seen corners of the collection. Because all items are numbered and their location is tracked in a database, the physical location of the items as found in the storage facility can become mobile and associative, to resonate with the surrounding program elements, whatever they may be.
