Ardrey Auditorium, located at Northern Arizona University, has a rich history and a story that brings the people of Flagstaff together. From student performances to symphony and coral famous performers have been coming to this place for decades. However, the goal for Ardrey is an International destination, that is not only acoustically flawless but also practical to the needs of performers and workers of any show that wants to perforce at this place. At Ardrey magic comes to life. For students learning to perform on stage to start acting their magical stories. Like the magic of the first performance experience or Marry Poppin’s magical bag, at Ardrey, everything is possible, even the impossible.

Looking into floral stitching of Marry Poppins bag inspired the patterns or grids of the building skin at Ardrey. This skin of the building carefully wraps around the building to provide enclosed areas and inspires visitors to explore the building.

Entrance to Music School

The structure of the skin is made of steel framing. It follows a hexagonal structure such as the pattern on Mary Poppin’s bag. The material of panels is made of tinted fiberglass that is sustainably and locally fabricated. The new skin protects the building from the climate. When the sun shines on the skin, the panels open up letting in daylight. When it is cloudy/snowy outside, the panels close to protect the building’s facade.

Ramp to Ardrey Lobby

Trucks back into the loading dock next to the detached tower behind the stage for easy unloading and access to storage and dressing rooms.

Cutting back the existing balcony and adding side balconies will help with improving the acoustics for the seats under and on the balcony. To further improve the acoustics and aesthetics of the building the form and material of the balcony and ceiling have been changed for a better reverration. The adding a heavy, floor-to-ceiling curtain to divide the balcony, Ardrey can have small rehearsals and performances when needed. To appreciate one of the biggest organs in Arizona, variable acoustics has been introduced to Ardrey by adding gaps in the ceiling that are covered by fabric for better absorption of sound.

Phoenix Seed and Feed warehouse is the oldest standng warehouse in historic district of Phoenix. After surviving many distaster this free standing warehouse is still standing to be re perpused and loved again. To celebrate the life this warehouse had once, by introducing new program, this beuilding can be reperpused to a architecture office to be reused and cared for in the furture.

New reconstructed steel roof and glazing New steel structure support new roof Existing Wood Truss and column to remain

By introducing barley sculptural pieces in the space, the identity that this warehouse once had will be remembered.

After 3D Lidar scanning the building to document this historic landmark. The process of preservation started by adding a new steel structure that can reinforce the brick walls and the original wood roof and truss.

By using the point cloud form the 3d lidar scan, and using grass hopper scripts, the pattern of the original door was laser cutter to metal sheets to make a new railing door for a better access to the warehouse.

To better pass on the resilient of this mater piece, the pattern of the newspaper to the date of building fire, was used to create a pattern to be the design of the new sheets that make the new door.

Our concept for the new TEA campus consists of a layered experience as students enter the forest first to find an array of community buildings that blend into nature while facilitating community experiences. As the students walk through the campus, they can discover a variety of learning pavilions that serve as outposts into the wilderness. The main array contains the learning one, the Cafe, the Maker Space, and the BlackBox theater.These essential structures create the backbone of the campus while the learning spaces are scattered downhill. Students hike and find their own paths through the forest to find new connections between learning spaces.

Incorporation

Integration of nature within redefined physical Water flow, and erosion in between classrooms, structure coming from mountain.

CLOUD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Students alongside community members can enjoy a wonderful show at the black box theater and outdoor amphitheater. Students can climb onto and sit on the folded roof structure to enjoy plays, music, and performances with the wonderful Tahoe landscape as a backdrop. The black box theater below is clad with mirrors to help support the cloud-like roof structure and allows students to see themselves around and within the space.

WATER OUTPOST

Students visit their learning spaces which pavilions and storage and safety burrows. across the biomes of the TEA campus, allowing aspects of nature within the Tahoe area. specific activities inside the pavilion and they can take tents and other deployables

which are divided into specialized learning burrows. These learning pavilions are spread allowing students to explore the different area. Students can engage with subject and when they are working in groups then deployables from the burrow and into nature.

Students being greeted by the main cafe and garden space, modeled after a hill and the surrounding topography, the cafe emerges from under a layer of Earth. Inside the cafe are greenhouses that allow some of the youngest students to learn how food grows while watching the seasons change around them. Seating inside and out allows for students to bond over food and share their discoveries of the day.

SILENT SOUNDS

My topic for this project was one week of sound and mood. I logged the sounds I was hearing every two hours, as well as my mood at that time. I started my graph by making an Excel sheet of my data. After looking more into Rawgraph I decided to consider a range of numbers to rank my mood to be used as a second numeric factor in my graph. After compiling different types of graphs based on my data, I selected the Alluvial diagram and then improved and refined the output further in Illustrator. To convey my data in a better way, more edits and annotations were added as final steps of the process.

Exposer to sounds is different during times of the day in one week.

The pattern of everyday sounds made me incorporate some new activities into my days.
