Time In Thirds Arch 352: Part B Spring 2019 Robert Arlt
Project Description: 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 needs to be 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 must touch the ground lightly, include pedestals to display Hejduk models, have one continuous stair, a volumetric light-well, keep the gates functionality, and has the same structural anomalies found in the precedent.
Materials: Wood and MDF Bass wood paper Wire Laminate Sheets Piano wire Paint Paper and Vellum Blue Foam Tools: Rhino Revit Laser cutting machine X-acto knife Glue and adhesive Photoshop Outputs: Pull-apart models Research collage Exploded axon Figure ground Elevations Sections Plans
Collaborators: Joseph Kenny (all work) Location: Judengang, Kollwitzplatz, Berlin, Germany
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.

Materials: 4x8 baltic birch plywood Glue Tools: Rhino Cam CNC Routing Machine Outputs: 1 tas-de-charge for a sexpartite vault
Project Description: Collaborators: John Angulu Jacob Fleming Nathaniel Horn Kyle Kueper Lucien Ngole Sydney Vanwell Jame Van Western Tyson Vogt
Traditional stereotomic gothic vaults have worked in the same way throughout history. The shop’s goal is to attempt to make a tas-de-charge, or the base of a gothic vault with baltic birch plywood u sing the CNC routing machine. The focus being how today’s tools can work similarly to past construction methods.

Project Description:
12-gauge steel sheet metal
Kirigami: a variation of origami that includes cutting of paper and folded without use of glue. The Shop’s objective is to manipulate flat sheets of steel (12 in x 12 in) through strategic weakening and bending in order to give form and add strength in the creation of something that makes a connection. No material should be removed from the sheets. The cutting and making is intended to be a no-waste process.
Tools: Plasma table Vice grips C-clamps Screw driver Elbow grease Outputs: 16 modules, create 4x4 array Stand

Location: Highland Park Village, Dallas, Texas
Specify a specimen in text, draw its geometries and compositional shapes, and model the spaces of extension and duration found in these places. Continually develop each analysis as one informs and particularizes the analysis. The catalog should reflect the discoveries of the modeling and drawing. Discover the utility of this sort of urban design keeping in mind what can be carried away from these places as we move forward designing a town approximately the same size as each study. Can we build a coherent descriptive narrative in the space of these specimens? What kind of narratives can we find in this sort of place study? Which tactics and strategies in analysis have been successful in building or drawing together a descriptive, conceptual, and or narrative sensibility of this place? Specimen is 960 square ft: Studies are done at same scale and Cartesian orientation

Generation of sections through collage making. The procedures focus on operations of cutting, adjusting, scaling, splicing, and juxtaposing in order to create something new. This project is organized around a familiar way of collaging in order to produce unfamiliar ways of seeing the contents. Focusing on making space through drawing, modeling, and collaging.

Project Description:
Published in Federico Garcia Lammers’ “Labor Atlas: Imaging Construction Labor in the Work of Eladio Dieste” Exhibited at theWork Student Design Invitational at the Washington Pavillion SDSU DoArch
The shop focuses on the role of labor and graphical representation as a way to examine historical workflows though contemporary architectural media. The making of computer models and images of the scaffolding systems used to design and construct the Gaussian vaults of six buildings built by Eladio Dieste’s practice in Uruguay. What is the relationship between low-precision construction and complex forms, and how can labor be represented and explored graphically?

Project Description: A focus on the ontological transition from orthographic drawing and modeling to post-orthographic imaging, the impacts of automated processes, and the role of implementing sectional practices in a post-orthographic setting by critically examining specific tools and commands used in Revit with specific site context.

Location: First Avenue Night Club, Minneapolis, Minnesota
The Translation focuses on the translation of the previous constructional performance to a new site, a small parking lot behind First Avenue Night Club. The translation builds and takes away from the first project and works through constructional narratives to build a public space, more specifically the longest continuous sky walk system.
