Architectural Fundamentals I
LIGHTHOUSE MUSEUM: Museum with lighthouse artifacts in Jamaica | Professor: Matthew Dudzik The Lighthouse Museum was designed in Architectural Fundamentals I, which introduced Formal and Typological Orders of architecture with emphasis on the comprehension of delineation of space as abstract entities, and on the theoretical development of design concepts. A sequence of exercises guides the transformation of basic design into elementary architectural design and progress from a single space and its adjacencies to sequences of spaces with specific functions. Exercises also involve the typological analysis of notable works of architecture. The Fundamental studio I developed my skill in model building and enhanced my knowledge in diagramming.

STUDIO EXERCISE I & II | Space: Open & Closed / Serial Spaces The aim of this exercise was to introduce the degrees of enclosure of architectural spaces and generate a system of spaces from a space. For the 3D modeling aspect of the exercise, the “kit of parts” (4 rods, 4 cubes, 4 plates) and the 8x8 inch gridded base to create one group of open and closed spaces. Also, illustrate the spaces in the 3D plan using the “kit of parts.” In the 2D aspect a plan relating to the 3D model was created. To analyze this process a 4x4 inch parti of the spaces was drawn on vellum. Along with that, create schemes of organizational spaces: centralized/introverted and radial/extroverted. Create a separate linear, cluster and grid organization of spaces by mirroring. Each scheme should imply spatial path with a 4x4 inch non-architectural visual analogy illustrating each organizational scheme.

STUDIO EXERCISE III | Space from Plan to Section This exercise continues the study and creation of space by exploring the spatial relationships between plan and section. For the 3D modeling aspect of the exercise, utilize the “kit of parts” to build on two spaces to explore the arrangement on the path in a way that clarifies, reinforces and strengthen its’ unity. In the 2D aspect a diagram scaled 1:1 on various trace paper with three different line weights. One having hierarchy of spaces making the plan and the other having hierarchy of column systems and wall systems defining the path.

STUDIO EXERCISE IV | Entry Design This exercise concentrates on designing the entry. To do so, four versions of an entry was designed in Google SketchUp. In the 3D modeling the preferred entry out of the four was constructed.

STUDIO EXERCISE V | Tower Design This exercise concentrates on designing a tower that grow out the repetitive structural path system, exploring form, scale and proportion. In the 3D modeling a place for the path was selected where a tower is best represented. It was built using the kit of parts. The design may have unique pieces but should not move away from the geometric harmony with the original pieces. At the end of the design/modeling phase of this studio, my professor and I agree that my model does not need a tower.

MUSEUM OF BEES: Factors Walk, Savannah, GA. | Professor: Timothy Woods The Museum of Bees allows the visitor to be intimately involved with all the aspects of bee society. Creating dialectic between bee scale and human scale is primary to this project. As the visitor moves through the museum this blurring of bee and human scale is encouraged by juxtaposing interior/exterior spaces within a natural/ man-made environment toward the enhancement of emotions and feelings through the use of texture and light. This design like all hives is responsive to its context and it creates a dialectic between old and new architecture.

Architect’s Profile Born on April 26, 1943 in Basel, Switzerland. He is a son of a furniture and master joiner. He became an apprentice for a carpenter in 1958. Zumthor graduated from Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel in 1963. In 1966 he furthered his studies at the Pratt Institute in New York City, where he studied industrial design and architecture. In 1968, he became a conservationist architect for the Department for the Preservation of Monuments of the canton of Grabunden. In 1979 he established a practice in Halderstein, Switzerland. Design Philosophy Zumthor believes that architecture needs to be appreciated first-hand. He kept his practice small with the intention of being intimately involved with all the elements of planning and construction. In his book, “Thinking Architecture” Zumthor expresses his motivation in designing buildings that speak to our feelings and understanding in so many ways and that possess a powerful and unmistakable presence and personality. He talks about being influenced by the work of sculptors Richard Serra, Walter De Maria and Michael Heizer, and he also references Joseph Beuys. “With Beuys,” Zumthor explained, “my interest has had to do with the mythology and sensuousness of his materials, the importance of his personal life in his art. He was looking at objects with history, with a past.”
ARCHITECT’S PROFILE: Peter Zumthor After analyzing the site and understanding the surroundings the next task was to pick an architect that best suits our interest and is greatly influential to our design. I investigated the design and practice philosophy of that architect. The investigation entailed us to develop an understanding of the theoretical and practical knowledge about the architect’s design motivations, influences and built conclusions. I chose Peter Zumthor to be my mentor and design guide for my building because always emphasizes the sensory aspects of the architectural experience. He believed that the physicality of materials can involve an individual with the world, evoking experiences and texturing horizons of place through memory.

MUSEUM OF BEES After analyzing the site, its context and studying the human needs and behavior, I was ready to prepare my final drawings, model and presentation. These drawings, the model and presentation will highlight my ideas and design concept. Here you will further understand and feel the stark contrast the building has to its context. The pictures should enhance your emotions and feelings through the use of texture and light.

FOCAL RESIDENTIAL & DAYCARE CENTER: 39th and E. Broad St. Savannah, GA. | Professor: Gerald Cowart The site is located at the corner of 39th and E. Broad St. in Savannah Georgia. The existing structure originally was a supermarket. More importantly it was one of the first supermarkets in Savannah. This meant preserving the structure will be beneficial and significant. Also, the community that the site exist within is rich in culture and it would seem insensitive to disregard the community and the rich culture it offers. One of the characteristics found within the community was the arched roofs, which can bring the richness of the community to the proposed design. Another issue is creating openness and at the same time have a sense of defensible space. Creating openness will enhance the program for multi-generational living. The idea of diversity will be prominent and the openness of the design will be people of different backgrounds come together. The sense of defensible space is more aimed for the safety of the young ones in the daycare. Software: Revit Medium: Ink, Watercolour

Introduction 15
Research AGING IN PLACE Aging in Place is defined as “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.” The years of an elderly life are considered their Golden Years - and they should be just that. Their work should be mostly of not fully behind them, their children are grown up and their lives should be comfortable. A significant concern as people grow older is that they may have to leave their home. This would mean leaving behind a comfortable setting familiar community and many memories. In addition a certain amount of control is lost when one leaves home. This “control” provides the underpinning to our feelings of dignity, quality of life and independence. One’s home is a strong element in that sense of security. Most American seniors desire to stay in their homes for the rest of their lives. In fact an AARP survey found this number to be greater than 80% of seniors. This “stay at home” approach is also known as “Aging in Place” Several reasons are cited for this strong Aging in Place preference. These include: Feelings of Independence Safety and Security Proximity to Family Familiarity “Aging in place” successfully requires planning. To accommodate physical, mental, and psychological changes that may accompany aging, physical changes should be made in your home.
AGING AND YOUR HOME The aging process is blamed for many problems seniors may encounter with daily activities. However quite often it is the home creates the difficulties. Most residential housing is geared to young healthy adults. Builders do not take into account age-related conditions such as reduced mobility or limited range of reach. Hence, dwellings do not support the physical and sensory changes that older adults encounter as they age. What appear to be insignificant home features can have significant effect: for a person with even minor aging issues. Many seniors avoid home modifications and helpful technology items designed for people with disabilities,.because these products have an industrial appearance. No one wants to have their home look like a hospital. Consumer demand and computer technology have pushed institutional products to be redesigned to be more acceptable in the home. Some of these include: chairs designed for easier in and out, enhanced high and low frequency tones for doorbells and telephones, grab bars and hand rails with decorator colors, hospital type beds with wooden headboards and foot boards, items that are easier for arthritic hands to handle and larger print for declining eyesight.
THE BOWEN THEORY: MULTI-GENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION PROCESS The concept of the multi-generational transmission process describes how small differences in the levels of differentiation between parents and their offspring lead over many generations to marked differences in differentiation among the members of a multi-generational family. The information creating these differences is transmitted across generations through relationships. The transmission occurs on several interconnected levels ranging from the conscious teaching and learning of information to the automatic and unconscious programming of emotional reactions and behaviors. Relationally and genetically transmitted information interact to shape an individual’s “self.” The combination of parents actively shaping the development of their offspring innately responding to their parents’ moods, attitudes, and actions, and the long dependency period of human offspring results in people developing levels of differentiation of self similar to their parents’ levels. However, the relationship patterns of nuclear family emotional systems often result in at least one member of a sibling group developing a little more “self” and another member developing a little less “self” than the parents. The next step in the multi-generational transmission process is people predictably selecting mates with levels of differentiation of self that match their own. Therefore, if one sibling’s level of “self” is higher and another sibling’s level of “self” is lower than the parents, one sibling’s marriage is more differentiated and the other sibling’s marriage is less differentiated than the parents’ marriage. If each sibling then has a child who is more differentiated and a child who is less differentiated than himself, one three generational line becomes progressively more differentiated (the most differentiated child of the most differentiated sibling) and one line becomes progressively less differentiated (the least differentiated child of the least differentiated sibling). As these processes repeat over multiple generations, the differences between family lines grow increasingly marked. Level of differentiation of self can affect longevity, marital stability, reproduction, health, educational accomplishments, and occupational success. This impact of differentiation on overall life functioning explains the marked variation that typically exists in the lives of the members of a multi-generational family. The highly differentiated people have unusually stable nuclear families and contribute much to society; the poorly differentiated people have chaotic personal lives and depend heavily on others to sustain them. A key implication of the multi-generational concept is that the roots of the most severe human problems as well as of the highest levels of human adaptation are generations deep. The multi-generational transmission process not only programs the levels of “self” people develop, but it also programs how people interact with others. Both types of programming affect the selection of a spouse. For example, if a family programs someone to attach intensely to others and to function in a helpless and indecisive way, he will likely select a mate who not only attaches to him with equal intensity, but one who directs others and make decisions for them.

Daycare in Zsambek -Foldes Co. Architects Ltd.
Educational Building in Mozambique -Master students of Bergen School of Architecture
Situated in San Francisco, the Armstrong Senior Housing & Town-homes are affordable housing designed to keep growing families within the city. The town-homes are next to the senior housing to prevent seniors from living in isolation. The development sits near a stop of a new light-rail line, a park, and a health center. To reflect the historically African-American population of the neighborhood, design details were drawn from traditional African textiles and symbols. The building is LEED NC Registered, with a goal of Gold. It features many complementary green strategies, including storm-water management, solar arrays that heat domestic water and light
The functionally strict floor plan of the crèche is mixed with a traditional and community building space form - the cloister. The group rooms and the central multi-functional space are around the cloister. This way the crèche becomes appropriate for developing relationship between parents and organizing baby-parent events as well. There is clear shaping and some fresh-colored tones to provide clear-out background for the whirl of colorful toys, drawings and clothes in the children’s group rooms where they spend their whole day.
This daycare has a simple structural body. The building consists of a closed room for computer-learning, and an open room for English teaching . Solid walls and the opportunity to close off completely make the computer-room safe in terms of burglary. The open room connects with the outside, is spatial with a tall ceiling and transparent walls embracing the light.

POUNCING PROAVIS: 3797 Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, TN. | Professor: Jean Jaminet The design creates rhythmic movement through repetition and variation with a technoprimitve surface, which harmonizes site and volume. The continuum of colors and soft tone edges psychologically enhances the experience. Through repetitious geometries, the chapel transfigures the nature of Elvis Presley’s peacock jumpsuit. It adheres to the positive energy that it has and creates a natural flow of energy by allowing light to penetrate through into the spaces with the spinal apertures the undulation of the feathers allow for water run off.

QUESTIONS 1.
How often do children use the library? Unknown. Our door count does not distinguish children from adults. What I can tell you is that we circulated 717,552 children's items in Fiscal Year 2012. We offered 1,694 juvenile programs that 53,220 kids and parents attended. We had 1,598,818 people visit. I'm not sure what percentage were children. But if I had to guess, I'd say 40%.
2.
Do teachers take their students to the library as a field trip? Often. Many of our weekly storytimes have classes attend, and many schools schedule regular field trips to our branches.
3.
What other activities apart from reading and renting books do you see occurring at the library? One of the things that happens a lot at the library is researching via the internet. Computer use and wi-fi use are two very popular services.
4.
Do you see families visiting the library often? Very often, especially during our storytime programs and on the weekends.
5.
What age group visits the library the most? The least? Adults, by far, visit the library the most. Teenagers, the least.
6.
What are the most commonly researched topics in the library? Homework help, job searching, and genealogy are some of the more popular topics.
7.
How often do people go to the library to do research or other personal assignments? I would guess that at least 50% of our computer usage is for research of some sort. We had over 650,000 computer sessions initiated last fiscal year.
8.
What is the most checked-out book in the library? Adult mysteries. People love their mysteries.
9.
What is one facility you would like to add to the library in order to increase people’s interest in reading and the library itself? Coffee bar with lots of tables and couches.
10.
Do you feel that outdoor space would encourage more community engagement? Yes. Places where people can drink coffee, access wi-fi, let their children play are all popular. People currently use our outdoor spaces for as many different ways as you can imagine.
11.
Do you feel that there was a decrease in terms of library users within the past few years? Why do you think that is so? I really don't see a decrease in usage as much as we see a change in usage. Where people used to borrow books and use computers, now people borrow access to online materials or e-books, and use our bandwidth instead of our computers because they have their own computing devices, be it smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Libraries are still a place to gather, exchange information, and learn about many different topics, including your community and neighbors.

The Chatham County Mediatheque creates a space that advocates the concept of shared knowledge. As such, the spaces are centrally supported structurally with innovative steel columns. The mediatheque utilizes the squared order of Savannah and takes on the order of triangles to conceptually represent the three main area of the mediatheque; books, internet and film. Chatham County Mediatheque celebrates the richness and history that the book offers, allowing for the evolution through digital movement.

Introduction

DISSOCIATIVE MUTATION: Place Valhubert, Paris, ﾃ四e-de-France, France | Professor: LaRaine Montgomery (in collaboration with David Harrop)
The architectural argument stems from the conflicting initial conditions of the north end of the project site: the lungs of the city (Jardin des Plantes), the kidney of the city (the Seine River), and the arteries of the city (heavy intersection of roads, bridges, and pedestrian and bicycle pathways). As the city grows and becomes denser there is a higher level of stress on many different levels. This site can be understood as being in a compromised immune system as it relates to the living systems of the urban condition, offering an opportunity for a mutation of the system, like the mutation of cancer cells in a compromised organ. The architecture in response must become a performative mediator between the built environment and the adjacent natural systems. The architectural theories of continuity and smoothness would be applied to the site as mutation from the city in order to promote a homeostasis for the city.
