GYMNASIUM TO LIBRARY: TECHNICAL AFTERTHOUGHTS ARCH 555: S 2021 F. Garcia Lammers, J. Garcia Fritz, B. Lee, R. Arlt., and N. Mansour

Through the iterations of technical vignettes that relate to ground and foundations, walls and envelopes, and spans and roofs an unknown building was stitched and collaged together. This process focuses on the minute details and building construction before programmatic and spatial concerns. After a detail wall assembly was created, the program (a gymnasium) and location (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) was taken into consideration. Through the adaption of the design details a new collective design position was recreated. The studios worked through a set of curated drawings (elevation, section, plan, and a detailed wall section) instead of modeling and 3D drawings. Once the gymnasium project came to a pause, they worked as existing drawings for an adaptive reuse project to transform the program into a public library. The program of the building changed and required additional entry stations, mezzanine, books stacks, and reading rooms. The project focuses on the sustainability of adapting existing structures for new purposes while pushing students to engage and evaluate previous work. The structure and organization of the building was pushed to the outside of the envelope. The building structure defines more public space on the property while hanging the main level to the height of the park across the street. The hanging structure eliminates the linear grid, so that the active playing/ reading surface can grow and change organically.

HUMANS V ROBOTS: LIMITS OF MOTION ARCH 554: F 2020 Federico Garcia Lammers and Jessica Garcia Fritz All work done in collaboration with Joseph Kenny Works published in “Labor Movements: From the Specification of the Panama Canal to Robotic Patents.” BTES Conference Publication, Auburn University, Summer 2021 and included in the Building Arts and Labor Symposium hosted by DoArch and South Dakota Humanities Council. Project Website: https://languagelimitsmotion.cargo.site/

The project visualizes two types of movement: the physical movements of people, materials, and machines and the political movements of regulations and permits. The scales of part, body, and assembly were used as a framework to understand how movements on a construction site were regulated. The US Labor Laws dictate movement through the regulation of large groups of people. The US KUKA Patents dictate movement at the scale of the part. Both of these documents regulate the movement of the body on the worksite. The focus of the studio was to examine regulatory documents (specifications, laws, codes, or patents) to see how they shaped the architecture and construction fields. The studio did not make a design proposal, but rather made visualizations to explain the complex relationships of labor laws and patents in relation to labor on the worksite.

Diagram of Information Gather and Analyzed

With the influx of industrial robots used within the construction field there is currently limited means to regulate motion on the worksite between humans, machines, and robots. Through the lens of bricklaying, motion can be broken down into three scales: part, body, and assembly. A part consists of a component of a whole and moves in concert with other parts. The body is the composition of all the parts that make up the whole or individual, and assembly is the congregation of multiple separate bodies that organize around a specific cause or action. From these scales, we are able to filter through the United States Labor Acts (1931 - 2020) and the U.S. Kuka Patents (1985 - 2016) despite their differences of scales in regulating movement to find language that dictates motion on the worksite. Humans and robots are now capable to exist within the same construction system. Robots are defined as a tool that can be reprogrammable to perform multiple tasks on a repetitive basis without human intervention. Humans labor for their occupation and engage in a constant process of exerting their body and mind to complete work. Robots work because they perform a task requiring sustained effort or repeated actions defined by a resulting product. Humans labor, whereas robots work. The methods in which work, and motion are regulated for human and robots are different in relation to scale and how the bodies are described to perform movement of work. Through the analysis of Labor Acts and Patents, an understanding of how motion and the development of motion in labor is regulated in the United states. Labor Acts are a set of documents that mediate the relationship between laborers, unions, and the government that protects the rights of those laborers and sets common standards of humane working conditions. Patents are documents that protect an invention or product through the use of trademarks and brand names. Patents specify the process of creating and operating said inventions within the United States. The motion of humans and robots can be broken down into components to become more predictable and efficient in relation to time. Frank (1868 – 1924) and Lillian (1878 – 1972) Gilbreth were efficiency engineers that conducted motion studies and their relation to time to create a more productive and efficient work site. By taking their past studies and overlaying them on modern bricklaying of both the human and robot construction and analysis of micromotions were able to be compared using the Gilbreth’s therblig elemental motions. The therbligs broke down motions into 18 separate acts that could be described through a multitude of motions. The movement of the humans had more fluid motions with simultaneous actions that were more adaptable but required rest to overcome fatigue. Robots worked in a more linear progression and relied on knowing exact placement of site elements. The language in the documents are filtered through the requirements and scale of the body to directs its motion on site. Both document sets were organized in a similar way as there was many subcategories (sections and classes) to create more specific details and regulations within a similar main idea or category. This allowed the sets of documents to be able to filter through altered categories specific to this study. Both documents were filtered through robot classifications that dealt with the body of the worker, their movement, and how they were able to organize information to move and work on site, and through the three scales of part, body, and assembly to understand how the movements were being controlled. Human motion is regulated through the scale of assembly, for its impossibility to control human movement. Whereas patents became more specific over time, regulating the body at first to exact parts to dictate how the robot moves. The language created by the assembly of people dictate the actions, limitations, and purpose of motion in both humans and robots. The regulating documents through the analysis had another set of underlying ideas that differed based on human or robot. The humans dealt with work opportunities, time and wages, and how laborers could legally strike, whereas the robots dealt with specific movements and manipulations of the robot. Labor Acts dealt with how the body moves on site by creating regulation that apply to the large assembly of people, and robots are regulated through the movements and specifications of the part. The relationship of motion between humans and robots can be seen through the two main sets of regulatory documents, the Gilbreth motion studies, robot classification, and apparent groups to the specific body in relations to the three scales of part, body, and assembly.

TIME IN THIRDS: HEJDUK ARCHIVE ARCH 452: S 2019 Robert Arlt All work done in collaboration with Joseph Kenny Recipient of the SD State University Department of Architecture Excellence Award for Outstanding Studio Project.

By researching the present historical layers of Berlin, the Judengang and the Jewish Cemetery behind the site, John Hejduk’s work, and Maison Bordeax, an infill building was designed to archive and display a specific project, the Wall House series, of Hejduk. By taking the main plan parti of Maison Bordeaux and recreating it sectionally, the main form of the building is created. The building parameters must touch the ground lightly, include pedestals to display Hejduk models, have one continuous stair, a volumetric light-well, keep the gates functionality, and have the same structural anomalies found in the precedent. Using the three parts of the building and the three parts of time, (past, present, and future), an overlay and juxtaposition is formed. The structural weight and memorial to the Jewish Cemetery is placed in the present, closest to the park, bringing attention to the past. The building itself acts as the present or gateway to the past or future. The future spaces being the gallery because constant changing of exhibits.

A PSEUDO IMAGE: CONSTRUCTED PERFORMANCE ARCH 451: F 2019 Jessica Garcia Fritz All work done in collaboration with Joseph Kenny

The project’s scope was developed to critique Revit as an architectural tool. The process worked through 4 misuses: establishing a vertical working plane, draw sections using line work, compare “drawn” sections with modeled families, and create an apparatus to present through projection rather than scaled sheets. By understanding methods of making the tool can be pushed and manipulated rather than the user being manipulated by the tool. Methods of making (orthography, pseudo orthography, post orthography, and pseudo construction) were exercised to understand how the processes determined the outcome. Through constructional observation of the Agricultural Heritage Museum (Brookings, SD), 3 frames of reference pushed the design work forward: the module of the brick, hidden structure, and the use of the kit of parts. These three ideas created the addition of gallery spaces to the museum while retaining most of its’ integrity. The module of the brick became a veneer module of a precast panel, the structure was hidden behind decorative representation, and the construction method acted as an organizable kit of parts.

Folding Petals: Metal Kirigami ARCH 451: F 2019 Brian Lee Exhibited in the Student Design Invitational at the Washington Pavilion Art Museum, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. May and June 2020

Kirigami is a variation of origami that includes the cutting, folding, and forming of paper constructs without the use of glue. This project explored the manipulation of regulated (12 in x 12 in) flat sheets of steel. The project explored how and when to strategically weaken the metal to create forms similar to its paper counterpart. In doing so the articulation of joints and connections became the primary focus. These joints exist within the system of the module and coexist with each other to create a larger body. The process of making promotes little to no waste. The plasma cut creates enough width to bend that the cuts consist of only lines. 32 panels would fit on a 4’ x 8’ sheet if scaled slightly. The folding system explores three different joints. The first being independent to each module and creates the base structure. The next joints slides and locks two modules together. The last joint locks the free floating petals to prevent the points protruding farther out.

MAPPING MOMENTS: EXPERIENCING DRIFT ARCH 653: F 2021 Mary Begley and Drew Smith Project recognized for the AIA South Dakota Enrichment Scholarship Award and published in Blueprint South Dakota January 2022.

Through the site of Central Park, New York, an exploration and critique of mapping was inititiated. Through James Corner’s “Agency of Mapping,” the project was constructed. The four new map types were done in conjunction with each other. Mapping is not a documentation asset, but rather an exploratory tool to learn about locations or sets of information. The bias of this projects map lay in the human experience. The question explored in these maps are if moments, or unique ephemeral instances can be designed. How would you design one of these situations, so that the collective people can experience a shared moment. Drift maps explore the sequence of the park, and challenge the focus mapping to become more person oriented. Layer maps isolate and collapse information to begin to read information differently. Rhizome maps begin to collect seemingly unrelated infromation together to see densities and direction, much like how the moments and situations of the park cluster around each other. The last map type challenges whos making the map and the collaboration to design for all in mind. The game board is aconglomerate of the previous maps, as the aspects of game play, isolation, experiences, and interactions of the player communicate Central Park without ever being there.
