BUILDING BEHAVIOR Advisors Jeana Ripple and Lucia Phinney
Spring 2013
My thesis work originates from a greater interest in the implications of the virtual on our physical lives. Relationships, from the very personal to the larger social and cultural, have been vastly reshaped by constantly emerging means of communication and interaction. It is a trend that has occurred in generations past, but this time these aspects of our lives are becoming digital. A technological network that is entirely reliant on the modern advances of human civilization and largely irrespective of the physical spatial bounds that we live within. How have our physical lives and activities been translated into the digital realm, and vice versa? This emerging dialogue was explored through a series of responsive architectural installations in Campbell Hall, home to the architecture school, to create a renewed intrigue of our habituated surroundings.

Utilizing a sonar sensor and IR motion sensor, a projected visualization greeted students as they entered the stairwell. The program was written with Processing, allowing the sensor inputs to be easily translated into text-based messages, graphic lines and shapes, and even sounds.

Each measurement (multiple a second) is registered by an added line along the width of the screen. Its position is the inch value remapped as a percentage across the width of the projection. ryan b. lewandowski / academic / 2013
‘Communicating Across Ends’ introduced the utilization of the school’s existing network infrastructure to connect two distant spaces. A two part system, the occupation of one space triggers the sensors, which is then communicated on the internet. This message is read by the second part located in a remote stairwell, which triggers a sound recording of footsteps as a way of communicating the presence in one space to another.
ryan b. lewandowski / academic / 2013
This resulted in the design and fabrication of Sound Cloud, an active acoustic installation made of 3D printed joints and conduit, in one of the school’s stairwells to experiment with sound and its different forms to heighten and/or modulate the experience of the space.

FUTURE FIT: Professor Robin Dripps Washington D.C.
DATA FURNACE Fall 2012
The internet is digital and not a physical thing. I believe this is a common misperception held by most of the population today. Unbeknownst to them, massive non-descript warehouses ʏOOHG ZLWK KXQGUHGV RI WKRXVDQGV RI FRPSXWHUV populate our industrial parks acting as the ‘magic box’ that makes your Google search work. They use huge loads of energy and these structures are largely designed to keep the computers cool. Instead of dissipating this heat, why not collect and re-use it? This project is a proposal for future urban development along South Capitol Blvd in Washington DC to be designed around an on-site data center system acting as its heating source.
Data centers world-wide consume energy equal to the output of thirty nuclear power plants. Most don’t realize it, but each of those Google searches, or watching clips on Youtube are using more energy than just from your laptop. One things that computer do produce is heat. This heat output, at the scale of a data center, is plentiful enough to heat neighboring spaces. This strategy has been used in limited cases, but my suggestion is to rethink the data center as a multi-purpose infrastructural core for future urban development, instead of its traditional placement LQ VXEXUEDQ RIĘ?FH SDUNV

ROOTS OF MUSIC Professor Karen Van Lengen New Orleans, LA
Fall 2011
Located within Armstrong Park, the new home for the Roots of Music marching band program serves as a new cultural focal point that aims to dissolve the physical and cultural boundaries present in this crucial section of New Orleans. Lying between the French Quarter and the historically African American neighborhood of Treme, the design reinterprets the billboard to engage its surrounding context through an interactive visualization of the cultural activities that occur within and around the building itself.
In the 1960’s, Armstrong Park was created as a new cultural mecca for the city and nation. The proposed complex of theaters and building were modeled after the Lincoln Center of Performing Arts and aimed to be ‘greater’ than its predecessor. 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ GXH WR Ę?QDQFLDO IHDVDELOLW\ RQO\ WKH Municiple Auditorium was initally constructed and then in the 90’s, the Mahalia Jackson Theater was completed. The incorporation of the youth music program rejuvinates the spirit of the park, with the physical construction reinforcing the urban nature of Congo Square. ryan b. lewandowski / academic / 2011
Practicing every week night, the Roots of Music center would create a unique sonic experience in Congo Square for locals and tourists to enjoy. Even within their practice rooms, the sounds of the music will still reverebate and be heard. To accompany this, the building’s facade comes to life as a visual representation of the sounds and lessons happening within its walls.

Summer 2012
Fastened to a bike via a custom shock mount, Sherloc is a battery operated urban sensor device that records the temperature, humidity, light, and airborne particulate matter that is then geolocated with the onboard GPS device. The device will take readings once every 2-4 seconds. Once your trip has been completed, just press the power switch to end the recording. To retrieve the recording, unscrew the top of the box and remove the MicroSD card from the shield on the Arduino. Plug it into your computer and you KDYH D IRUPDWWHG &69 Ę?OH WKDW FDQ EH RSHQHG LQ Excel or read directly through Grasshopper!

,Q DQ RIĘ?FH ZLGH FKDOOHQJH WR re-use/repurpose/recycle the now obsolete Polshek Partnership business cards in a creative way, this lamp is made of 75 business cards with a small plexi bracket. The folded design utilizes the single orange side of the cards to produce a warm glow over the white exterior. A modular system of folding was used and by modifying the angle or direction of the folds, each of the three rows became unique.

Ennead Architects
NYU Langone Medical Center New York, New York
Fall 2008 - present
The NYU Langone Medical Center exists on a superblock located between First Ave and the East River in Manhattan. Originally planned and designed by SOM in the 40’s and 50’s, it has been continually added upon throughout its existence. For the past three years, Ennead Architects has been working to map out a thirty year development plan to add a fully integrated center for acute clinical care and the design of the Kimmel Pavilion hopsital, which will act as its centerpiece. My role in this project for the past two years has been very multi-faceted, although mostly focusing on design. My duties have ranged from completing the masterplan study, concept design for an elevator tower, and currently schematic design of the Kimmel Pavilion.

the ‘kit’ of parts
Tasked with mapping the 30 year development plan, we worked in conjunction with CASE Design to utilize Revit’s BIM capabilities to construct a 3D spatial/programming model that in real time could accurately calculate the program of the current conditions, as well as play through the various building options for each of the seven proposed phases. Existing buildings and conceptual growth make up a kit of parts that can be plugged into the potential sites of development, creating a ʐH[LEOH WRRO to be used by the architect and the client to fully understand the medical center’s growth potential. I was one of two employees working full time on this masterplan and among many other aspects was in charge of working with CASE Design to create and manage the Revit Model. ryan b. lewandowski / professional / 2009

This project will add four new elevators to the RXWGDWHG 7LVFK +RVSLWDO WR LPSURYH WKH Ę?RZ DQG quality of experience for patients and visitors. Sited in the central courtyard of the complex, the elevator cabs will include windows that provide a view of the city and river during the ride. My role involved doing a series of facade studies during the concept design phase. Working one on one with a design associate, we discussed the idea of a pixilated pattern of glass that responded to a need for increased shading at the top. From here I investigated panel sizes/ratios and surface patterns through creating elevation drawings, 3D renderings, and elevator cab animations so that each aspect of overall identity and user experience was fully considered.
