Chapel for the Homeless

SPRING 2013 // KNOXVILLE,TN // DAVID FOX Focusing on recycled material for construction, the chapel incorporates wooden pallets for an openair space of worship. The space is created to shelter the homeless by providing an aerated and shaded place to sit and conduct personal worship. Beside the chapel, a platform steps up from the dirt and pavement, with a forest of bare, unused telephone poles sprouting out in a forest that imbues the discarded utility poles with a new spiritual role. The open nature of the chapel gives the homeless a space that they can never be barred from. Inspired by the phrase “This too shall pass,” the shifting light and shadow reflects the transient nature of life’s hardships and victories.

The form is inspired by an extrustion of a conceptual steeple and the idea of basic shade as shelter. Developed so that the form is both structural and economical, the building is designed to have as little maintenance required as possible and little-to-no waste in its construction.

LEED Office

FALL 2011 // KNOXVILLE,TN // PAUL BIELICKI This project design focused on mastering the technical aspects of building practice, with a focus on structural systems, HVAC and adherance to LEED qualifications/documentation. The building is set to be a flexible office space with multiple companies using each floor. Focus was particularly placed on using materials with a well understood cradle-to-cradle lifecycle. Utilizing data collecting programs to measure the energy efficiency of the facade and HVAC systems, as well as an extensive product catalogue to determine the sustainability of each building component, the design was determined to be of LEED Gold status.

Low-Income Container Housing SUM2013 // KNOXVILLE, TN // PROF. MATT HALL

Designs were proposed and narrowed through quantitative deduction and qualitative rating, to optimize the usable space and organization of low income housing using two and three shipping containers. A scientific method approach to the design allowed for a quick elimination of designs that were not optimal for cost and energy efficiency. Beginning with the lowest common denominator as a base, we explored the impact of each design decision and using data gathered created a system of quantitative gains and losses to determine the best layout and construction.

Harvard GSD Annex

FALL 2012 // CAMBRIDGE, MA // PROF. SPAW The added annex to the Graduate School of Design is conceptually founded on the realization that we tend to view architecture, as students, through two-dimensional images. The studio spaces are fronted with floor-to-ceiling glass, a representation of how people will view their own works. The main atrium, however, has a series of cross-over stairwells that span the space, difficult to easily comprehend without physically being in the space itself. The sections and plans of this presentation were shown in a perspective manner to reinforce the dichotomy of how architects understand three dimensional space.

East Nashville Gateway

SPRING 2012 // NASHVILLE, TN // T.K. DAVIS A team project with John Halford and Tyrone Bunyon, the up-and-coming East Nashville neighborhood development program sought to create a space for residents to gather. This design was centered around the idea of using mixed-use and urban design ideas to encourage a livelier and more connected East Nashville. Centered around a mass transit hub, the neighborhood plaza would accomodate the mixed-use buildings around it. After long debate, it was determined that downtown Nashville currently lacked a plaza space for people to gather to celebrate, connect, protest or any other number of large-crowd events.

Japan Wood Competition

SPRING 2013 // KNOXVILLE,TN // INDEPENDENT The Shelter Competition was based on the concept of using wood to convey â&#x20AC;&#x153;time.â&#x20AC;? For me there is an intrinsic youthful-ness to wood, somehow connected to my earliest memories. Particularly of time spent in a treehouse in the backyard of the home I grew up in. If time is perceived differently for each of us, then it takes only the suggestion of returning to a memory to travel back in time in our minds. A moment of child-like lightness, a place to feel small and feel as if we have found some place special. This evoked emotional connection is the objective of my design.

Fremont Island Correctional Facility

FALL 2013 // SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH // PROF. HANSJORG GOERTZ Instructed to research and focus on a uniquely American issue, exhaustive information and data was collected on the U.S. prison system and comparisons to other systems of incarceration around the world. Design was then proposed that would be uniquely suited to site and context. The new facility design is based on a water collection system and local farming in an arid region, while fostering communal respect and skill development among the individuals undergoing treatment. The aim is to re-educate the individuals to reconnect with society rather than be further isolated and increasingly hostile to it.

2010 Cumberland Ave

F2013 - F2014 // KNOXVILLE, TN // JUNEAU CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INTERNSHIP Approx 120,000 sq ft six-story student housing project with retail at street level. The construction schedule was incredibly tight at eleven months to completion and the site offered a serious challenge with an absolute lack of lay-down space. This meant each material had to arrival precisely scheduled and be installed straight from the flatbed. Timing each stage was crucial and any mistake was costly. My role as intern saw me taking on multiple tasks under the field engineer, the project manager and the super intendent during the year. In the end, with double shifts and a seven day work week, we managed to finish the building on time and exceed expectations.

TAAST Canopy Project

S2013 // KNOXVILLE, TN // PROFESSOR SPAW In collaboration with guest lecturer Zach Downey (Parabox), Professor Spaw, student Austin Finney, and others. A reactive pattern established with the Grasshopper plugin is laser cut and fitted into the steel netting. The material is a felt underlay with a yellow tarp overlay. The yellow tarp is cut in a cellular manner, with flaps cutout to hang down through the gray felt within the larger cells. The larger â&#x20AC;&#x153;branchesâ&#x20AC;? of gray felt underlay help to shield the review space from outside noise interference, while the lighter overlay is ideal for shading the space from the glare of high-powered halogen bulbs overhead and the occasional direct sunlight. Much like a tree, the canopy speckles the sunlight, allowing a diffused lighting in the space that gives soft illumination.

Reformations Material Study

F2011 // KNOXVILLE, TN // PROFESSOR SPAW Working with Tyrone Bunyon, we explored the application of mold-formed components, with a focus on quickly developing prototypes with CNC routing plastic material. Conceptually, we studied geometric formations found in nature. We decided on creating a system of geometric forms that could interlock with one another, creating a figurative â&#x20AC;&#x153;growing moldâ&#x20AC;? that we displayed throughout the architecture school building.
