01 Boulder Farmers Market, Boulder CO Studio 4 - Marcel DeLange, (with Stephen Anderson)
Boulder is home to a rapidly growing Farmers
Market yet it has no permanent infrastructure to support it. After interviewing market directors, farmers, and compiling research, my partner and I designed a multiuse building which would appeal to both types of users. We kept the promenade aspect of the current market but wrapped it around the new site. The floor slabs were then ramped at 1:48 to provide a constant slight rise to the second floor. This allows vendors to drive into the building and unload their goods directly at their stand, and continue to an underground parking garage. This also gives the visitors a unique experience which culminates at a green roof. Shortcuts are also added to create a closed loop of the ramp.

02 Roadside Farm Stand, Boulder CO Studio 4 - Marcel DeLange
The design of a roadside farm stand raised
questions of open/closed relationships and signage that would attract the most customers who drive past the site. The result was an object that could be prefabricated and shipped to any location and outfitted with custom graphics. Additionally, the farm could move its stand to various locations, including farmers markets. The farm stand consists of an interior box which has a fixed position while an exterior box slides over this on tracks. When the market is open, the stand can thus slide open and add an extra 2/3 of its original length. When the market closes down, the stand simply slides back to a sealed position. This kinetic relationship then organized the fixed/mobile aspects of the plan.

03 International Border Crossing, Detroit MI Studio 5 - Kathy Velikov
Just outside of Detroit exists one of the busiest
International Border Crossings in the U.S. To alleviate the congestion of thousands of commercial trucks crossing, a second bridge down river is being proposed. My design for the customs check point also brings with it a trucking center to accommodate the large flows of semi-trucks as they are processed by the border patrol. The buildings on the site float above the ground to allow for truck movement and parking beneath. They appear as singular structures but hold a wide array of programs which stretch out across the vast site. The placement of the customs plaza and trucking center is strategic to limit the impact on the surrounding impoverished neighborhood of Delray. The trucking center aims to be a locus of the community and provide new opportunities for the residents of Delray by offering jobs and interactions with the trucking scene. 23

04 Seoul Senior Housing, Seoul South Korea Studio 6 - Vivian Lee + El Hadi Jazairy, (with Jordan Johnson + Phillip Huang)
Seoul, South Korea is experiencing an
unprecedented change in population where the majority of the population will be over age 65 by 2050. As part of the Vertical Cities Asia 2012 competition, A master plan to accommodate 100,000 people in the Yongsan IBD area was carried out by the studio of 20 people. 7 housing projects were designed to give character to a city for the aging population. Sitting on the South East side, our building is a gateway to a large park development and focuses on mobility as well as multi generational use. The design consists of a series of boxes containing two floors and 10 units. These boxes stack up above a plinth to create a series of small neighborhoods around a plethora of vertical open space. The design creates interesting views and interactions between the residents living there. While shown as a low rise concept, the design is currently still in development and will be looked at as a flexible structure that can grow if needed. 35

05 Variable Weathers, New Orleans LA Thesis - Craig Borum
This thesis seeks to explore the role that the
grocery store has in disaster relief efforts by designing ways that architecture can better suit its environment, and by doing so, amplify cultural relationships with local ecologies. Previous models of development have resulted in catastrophic disasters anytime variable weather events meet our built environment. With hundreds of grocery stores per chain built off of nearly identical construction documents, stores propagate unanimously across a nation which is subject to varying degrees of unstable climactic and geological forces. The site of an existing Wal-Mart in New Orleans acts as the testing ground for a new model of grocery store which inhabits the levee and exploits the swamp. The store is adaptable, playing out its uses before, during, and after high winds and storm surges to rethink how food and shelter is provided to a community in the event of an emergency. 47

06 “Terrior�, Cruise Terminal, Geiranger Norway 120 Hours Competition 2013
Terrior relies on the characteristics of geography,
sunlight, environment, and weather to define a place. The defining qualities of the cruise ship port of Geiranger, Norway call for an architecture that is open to the variable weather patterns and also to the variable tourist patterns. The new infrastructure for the port of Geiranger consists of a network of buoys harvesting energy from the waves created by passing ships, plugging into floating dock platforms in the fjord to provide electrical power for idle cruise ships. Experiencing a peak travel season of 4 months and visited by 3 ships each day, it is important for the new port infrastructure to be adaptable and often temporary. The docks inhabit the current situation of the tender port (requiring a short ferry from ship to shore) but are free to rotate about as winds and currents shift, highlighting the variability of the new port. The buildings are open, allowing for travelers to exit ships onto the roof of the sheds and make their way to the water via ramps. 57

07 Outerwear Factory, Beijing China Studio 6 - Mary-Ann Ray
As China evolves to a more middle class Lifestyle,
recreational activities such as rock climbing are becoming more emergent and popular. The factory design for a Chinese outerwear brand in Beijing resulted in a very public building which folds recreational ground from the horizontal field up into a tower. Shopping is intermixed with sewing, as both parties travel through controlled environments. Certain layers of the building control the heat of the factory, introduce outside air, or act as cold rooms for the shoppers to test the clothing. The factory would also educate its public about how to use equipment and where to travel. The landscape, as well as the store, shift seasonally to react to the trends in clothing demand and to reestablish the importance of landscape in Beijing.

08 ParaBarn, Ann Arbor MI Locatechtonics - Steven Mankuche
Parabarn is the resulting form of a construction
methods research agenda on Heavy Timber Framing. American Barn construction before the turn of the century was researched as a window into past performative building methods. Timber as a material and its manufacturing was studied as a way to understand the practicality of such a simple method for mortise and tenon joinery. Mortise and tenon timber framed barns stand today as a testament of their structural rigidity and was therefor used to study how this construction method could perform under recent trends in digital technologies and fabrication. A Grasshopper definition was written to automatically generate specific timber framing members which would respond to changes in a basic wire frame figure. The form can be morphologically configured to react to various forces of nature - and the model responds with a framed barn. Detail joints were studied on the side and built into the model to control breaking points; or perform scalar transformations to react appropriately. 77

09 Wave Wall, Boulder CO
Digital Fabrication - Marcel DeLange, (with Wade Hansen + Erin Masket)
The final fabrication project was to design
something in the computer and build it at a 1:1 scale. Structured as a group project, my team and I designed a double curved wall to be built by a waffle strategy composed of X and Y ribs that notch together. The wall was designed for the graduation exhibit, so we used the exhibit space as a guide for our design. The curves lead people around it and into the room while also creating a nice corner condition. The wall moves from 3’ to 8’ tall and is 8’ long and composed of 62 pieces of plywood. Once the design was finalized in Rhino, I wrote a Grasshopper definition which divided a solid object into the slats. Then the pieces were sent to a CNC machine to cut our plywood. After some sanding, the pieces all slid into place and the wall quickly grew into its wave form.
