Studio Inquiry: Can a new architectural syntax be created around the ‘edge effects’ of a 40,000 sq.ft. wood technology laboratory?

AUTONOMY, ENGAGEMENT, AND THE INTERVENTION OF ARCHITE GrAdUATe TheSIS | wOOd + ATMOSphere
MATHIEU PATRICK DERASPE | UNIVERSITY OF OREGON | 4 JUNE 2015 The edge effect in ecology is the effect of the juxtaposition or placing side by side of contrasting environments on an ecosystem. Where vastly differing systems meet, there is an intense area of productivity and useful connections. An example of this is the coast; where the land and the sea meet there is a particularly rich area that meets a disproportionate percentage of human and animal needs. This idea is played out in designs by using spirals in the herb garden or creating ponds that have wavy undulating shorelines rather than a simple circle or oval (thereby increasing the amount of edge for a given area).
Investigating the architectural scales (from site to individual The glass ibre fabric is attached to steel tubing frames, which are up roomdeveloped elements)adapter through the effects edges, oneSprings beginsintothe holdin proiles made ofofaluminum. create new architectural syntax. The hope is to create a virtual mainta in length of the construction due to temperature luctuations, spectrum of intentional spaces, differing in scope and scale, to ultimately ield a diverse and drammatic design that can service both the public and private needs of the studio’s programmatic elements.

EDGE EFFECT - [CONVOLUTED]
Border is non-linear.
[PERSPECTIVE]
Individual design elements are a function of not only the existing site conditions (i.e. the creation of view corridors or egress) but also in congruency with adjacent or opposing features.

EDGE EFFECT - [INHERENT]
Natural features stabilize the border location.
[PERSPECTIVE]
All though differing from the natural phenomena implied, adjacencies of large bodies of glazing juxtaposed with opaque walls, as well as the compression of a covered, unconditioned breezeway shapes the entryway sequence. The experimental nature of the site is framed and experienced for the first time.

TO MARK THE FOREST MATERIALS: Salvaged pallets, culled and reclaimed lumber from various sources, metal fasteners DIMENSIONS: 3’ x 1’ base, 7’10” height A wooden obelisk stands solemnly marking a fundamental change in the forest itself...I hope this piece establishes a critical relationship, a dialogue of sorts, between the unkempt but pristine nature of the forest and the ordered interventions of man-made developments, particularly as it relates to the disconnect between the production of timber building materials and their actual point of origin. I allowed the nature and quantity of the found materials to dictate the effect of each facade, from simple uniform horizontal cladding of pallet strips to compound and complicated geometries juxtaposed with the smooth surface of plywood. The diversity that envelops the piece is reminiscent of the intricate nature of the surrounding forest itself. The final element is an aperature cut into the structure framing the forest canopy; an attempt to connect the life cycle of the forest to the experience of the viewer.

MASTer SITe plANNING | 25,000 Sq.FT VISITOr CeNTer
Part of any design project is the semblance of seemingly unrelated program elements. Preserving and expanding the existing wetland while supporting the unique characteristics of Portland International Raceway became the underlying challenge of this studio project. Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life, performing a number of roles in the environment. The 287-acre site also has a rich history in the automotive racing industry as well as a number of foot, cycle and rally events.
29
MASTer SITe plANNING | 25,000 Sq.FT VISITOr CeNTer
The Existing Condition 286 acres, 83 of which are dedicated to environmental protection zones and nearly 400,000 visitors enter the PIR grounds generating an annual economic impact of $45 million to the Multnomah county.
30
Re-Evaluating PIR Zones At present, the site is a sporadic scattering of semi-related elements. Re-zoning of PIR to concentrate race functions near the southeast entrance would allow for a calculated restoration projects to realize ecological possibilities. This will ultimately increase the diversity of users, expanding PIR into the community beyond the race industry.

Re-Forestation
Re-Forestation | Carbon Therapy Intentionally restocking depleted woodlands will improve the quality of human life by soaking up pollution from dust in the air, rebuild natural habitats and ecosystems, and contribute to bio-sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Bio-Remediation | Ecological Enhancement System As the race track is an exhibition platform for the finely-tuned automobile the wetland in many respects is a similar platform to view a complicated and intricate ecosystem which enables PIR a unique opportunity to both remediate the harmful effects of racing and attract tourism to the site beyond the racing enthusiast.

Bioremediaiton is the treatment of the existing condition through the use of plants and micro-organisms that mitigate the environmental problem without the need to excavate the contaminant material and dispose of it elsewhere. Creating an extensive but simple “canal” system where concentrations of contaminated soils, water, or air, from sources such as metals, pesticides, solvents, crude oil and its derivatives, and various other contaminants from the media that contain them can then be contained, degraded, or eliminated entirely.

INCreASING The SlOUGh Deepening and widening the existing sloughs as well as creating additional water paths that work to collect and ilter surface water then lead it away. Ecosystems can be created withing the slough to re-mediate the ill effects of automotive racing as well as serve as an extension of PIRs commitment towards net zero construction.
rACING TOpOGrAphY Soil excavated from the slough extensions can be used to change the existing topography where hills between 0.5 and 4 meters high are created. The changing topography will increase total surface area and thusly the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to store and disperse water.
CArBON replACeMeNT TherApY Five times more trees. Existing trees are kept and 2,000 new trees are planted as well as other local native species of plants to remediate the brown-ield effect.

Developing and restoring the wetland will dramatically increase the diversity of visitors beyond the race industry and into Eco-tourism. As a result, bringing all the programmatic elements of PIR under one roof is essential to allowing the diversity of users to interact and, ultimately, learn from one another. The resulting design grants PIR the opportunity to be both an industry leader in the automotive racing industry as well as ecosystem restoration.

An important contribution could be made by micro-architecture, since it is by deinition a self-restricting form of architecture that seeks to achieve as much as is required with as little as possible. If this self-imposed minimalism-for example the reduction in the living area-is not to be associated with a deterioration in convenience or a reduction in utility, we must inevitably arrive at a new conception of and approach to space. The selfrestrictive efforts will offer potential for reorientation and enrichment and space-optimized modeling will become the driving force behind innovation.

Space must be deined initially in terms of its limits but at the same time it also needs to extend beyond these limits. When the volume is compressed, there is less room for the normal buffer zones. Architects must develop limiting and delimiting strategies for the transition from inside to outside that are clearly visualized not only as constructed ilters but also as separations and links. This multidimensional complex perception of space is one of the central focuses of space optimization. Space optimization follows Mies van der Rohe’s principle of “less is more,” not through a reduction to less but a reduction to the essentials.

A parklet repurposes part of the street into public space for people. They are intended as aesthetic enhancements to the street scape, providing an economical solution to the need for increased public open space. Parklets provide amenities like seating, planting, bike parking, and art. While parklets are funded and maintained by neighborhood businesses, residents, and community organizations, they are publically accessible and open to all. Public right-of-way make up approximately 25 percent of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land area. Parklets promote a low-cost, easily implementable approach to public space improvement through projects that energize and reinvent the public realm. They help address the desire and need for increased public open space and wider sidewalks, ultimately encouraging walking by providing pedestrian amenities like street furniture, landscaping and public art. In an attempt to organize the student body I developed and implemented a design competition; the winning entry worked directly with me during the construction phase and the parklet was installed in the center of Eugene. It was a featured event during the Friday Art Walk in April 2015.

After moving to the Hawaii I started Rebel Construction out of a desire to offer the community of Kauai a wide variety of sustainable building practices that were, at the time, non-existent on the island. From how we sourced our material and landscapes to the very nature of our relationship with clients, the goal of Rebel Construction was to empower employees, clients and community to be cognizant of the larger ramiications of sustainable development. Constantly evolving, Rebel became the sole fully sustainable, LEED accredited contracting company on Kauai and still working in a cooperative manner with other local builders to maintain the long-term health and well-being of Kauai and its residents.

90 percent of all consumer goods purchased in Hawai’i are shipped in from various countries, namely mainland China and the United States. The containers those items shipped in have value well beyond their carrying capacity. This realized project was budgeted for $20,000 as a small temporary structure, completely off-grid and with as small an ecological footprint as possible to accomodate local building codes in designated agricultural zones.

E Mau Ana Ka Hula
The Hula is Perpetual. This realized project was initially a single concept: restore the existing site to exemplify the unique natural environment and cultural history of the Hawaiian islands. The locally harvested lava was shaped in 18” undulating tiers reminiscent of ancient lava flows that followed the site’s topography. 300 native and endemic plants were propagated throughout the 12-acre residential property. Today the local Kilauea hula halua (hula practitioners) use the space to teach and perform the traditional cultural dance of Hawai’i.

AVID-14
(AVID = A VOICE IN DESIGN)
Light Concept: Sophisticated, elegant, refined, the AVID-14 confers its character upon the room where it is placed, maintaining a familiar and organic profile, suitable for environments that differ in style and taste. The combination of gentle texture of the fabric shade and the clean lines combined with an organic form lend a softly modern, timeless feel to the AVID-14 pendant. Created by skilled artisans, AVID-14 features unique joinery that gives the canopy the illusion of being carved from a single piece of wood. Materials: Hand-woven, linen paper shade, Maple hardwood frame with Walnut inserts, stainless steel mounting components. Mounting: Suspension pendant, (4) 1/16â&#x20AC;? aircraft cable. Suspension length: 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Urban living trends indicate both an immediate need for housing and an increased desire for that housing to be affordable. A natural evolution of affordable urban living is smaller living spaces and with that comes the need for multi-purpose furniture to maximize interior space planning and thus the inspiration for this project. Being able to entertain guest without the clutter is the premise behind the three-in-one design of the bench/table/stool. In its vertical position the stool elevates the user to bar or drafting table height. Horizontally, the piece is either a two-person bench or a coffee table. In a shift of spine and foot pedestal and the piece collapses and is easily stored.

THERE IS NO SPACE WITHOUT EVENT.
There is no fixed relationship between architectural form and the events that take place within it.
There is also no meaningful relationship that exists between a space and the events which occur within it. The freedom of design is mobility. It is the enhanced range of capacity of the extended body/self in conjunction with an extended self awareness. Architecture that advocates recombinations of programs, space and cultural narrative asks users to critically reinvent him/herself as a subject participating in an event and space.
The role of architecture has never been to express an extant social structure, but to function as a tool for questioning that structure and revising it.
