CHAPEL- A Place for Contemplation 2nd Year Studio, Fall 2013

As a multi-faith chapel, a common ground for different beliefs is to find peace and contemplation within the space. One way of achieving such perception is by gradually increasing the volume of the space. The cha-

3

pel is narrow and low at the entry, and it becomes wider and taller as one approach toward tWhe altar. The undulating roof also reflects the notion of liveliness and spirit of the space below it.

HURON COMMUNITY CENTER 2nd Year Studio, Spring 2014

The proposed site is located near the Huron Indian Cemetery which is on the National Register of Historic Places. During phase one, we created a path starting at the major bus hub to invite people into the park or use it as

7

a shortcut to travel across the block. With respect to its historic course, we created a monument to tell the story of the site. Second phase involved designing a community center that includes urban farm and film studio.

THE GAMBIA- LIGHT STRAW CLAY BLOCKS 3nd Year Design Build, Fall 2014 [Group- TJ Berk, TJ Moon]

In design build studio, we explored sustainable building methods for countries with limited technologies and resources. We focused on The Gambia as a supplement for an ongoing research led by Bakary Suso (grad-

15

uate student). We focused on wall system that addresses affordable construction, thermal comfort and water conservation in The Gambia by using local materials. We divided a typical mud block into two L shaped bocks that would be assembled as one.


Configurations

Mixture

Finished wall is composed of eight “L” blocks. The pipe which water runs through inside the blocks also helps keep the blocks in place for structural support.

Positive

Negative

-able to make multiple (quickly) -does not grow grass -dries quickest -water holes remain intact -good load bearing -less chunky, more of a clay coating

-Joint in “L” would weaken


Arrangement of Blocks

This arrangement is completely sealed. No fenestrations, has the smallest footprint, and most structurally sound.

Mirroring each (2) blocks every row created taller fenestrations. This creates a light, but structurally sound wall.

This arrangement is the weakest due to its vast fenestrations. To create wider openings, we needed to place each block further apart, which weakens the load.

This arrangement has the same spacing as the second (our favorite) but the openings are half the height.
