ADAPTIVE COLLABORATION
9 The 426 ft multi-complex high-rise forms part of a progressive new plan for an education hub in downtown Cincinnati. The building presents opportunities for learning and exploration in new design and material technologies that are virtually and physically manifest in both the building form and construction. Integration with the existing context is achieved by means of producing a visual anchor point that connects two diverse neighborhoods. The nature of the adaptable program allows for an ever evolving series of explorations on faรงade and systems integration reflecting cultural and societal values. All this is achieved through the integration of the manufacturing process within the building itself. Acting as both the structure and key organizational element, this matrix of robotic assembly line-esque apparatuses provide a system for full integration prototyping and implementation in adaptive design.

MANUFACTURING STRATEGIES Additive manufacturing processes have recently started playing major roles in informing design decisions through the use of rapid protoyping and the manufacturing of custom parts and assemblages. Processes such as 3D printing, CNC milling, direct metal disposition, and laser sintering have started scaling up to allow for applications on larger projects. Contour grafting and D-shape processes have allowed additive manufacturing applications to directly contribute to building scale projects. The framework for these systems can further be integrated into the design and process of construction, embedding a tool to directly contribute to additive design decisions as they come up. Basic construction materials such as concrete, steel, masonry, and even more advance materials such as high performance composites and plastics can all be utilized and included in such a system to provide flexible and dynamic feedback for any design solution.

The design designs represented reflect one of many possible outcomes and investigations into these types of methods and processes. They also represent careful consideration placed into the scripting or code used to generate the building form and geometries. The additive manufacturing processes represented are based around extruding and subtracting material, with only limited area for precision control detailing. The script generated therefore made use of providing geometries which were feasible for
these construction methods. The basic principle of the script allowed for the designer to draw out designs and material assemblages in section, that could be swept and arrayed along and line or curve and sectioned off at precise intervals for greater control and flexibility. This process could be repeated with any profile, resulting in an extremely fast system of generating form. Different design solutions could be implemented at any point and divided, based on location and orientation.

ATHENAEUM Columbus, Indiana
Integration of systems in both aviation and automotive design far surpass those found in traditional architectural construction. Buildings today are primarily made up of hundreds or thousands of dumb parts, half of which don’t do much of anything other than the one sole purpose they were designed for. Components engineered for transportation industries have much greater factors and are designed accordingly to accommodate multiple parameters and instances of use. Things are designed not only to carry out a function, but often multiple functions simultaneously, and in many cases have integrated safety measures designed right into the form of the component itself. Even the aesthetics are considered. This brings me to an interest in understanding a ‘construction ethic’ regarding integrated systems and how they can be applied in large scale construction. Taking inspiration from warships, spaceships, and healthy doses of science fiction, I began to explore mega ‘block’ modular construction assemblies, which are plug and play chunks of program, systems, and structure that can be added, subtracted, and reconfigured as needs and technology evolve. This mentality of design/construction is transferred between scales. The facade, composed of a module that consists of multiple designed/engineered instances can be assembled and retrofitted depending on program, solar orientation, interior space, views, or safety.

Inspiration for the facade came from analyzing contemporary construction methods found in museums that explored intense gestures of form using series of changing profiles. Using a singular set dimension/ shape panel as a module, a series of different finishing assemblies could be generated based on need. An evolution for this idea would be to have components of structure/systems that are pre-engineered based on exact position in space and use rather than traditional layered assemblies.

Example of two axis kinetic facade panel generated in grasshopper to pivot according to various parameters. These could include solar orientation, views, interior lighting, and exterior media facade.
27
Mega block modules with all structure and systems can be pre-constructed at a facility and shipped out to the site in chunks that can be assembled in far less time than total on-site construction.

Architectural design has been slow to adopt experimental research and methods into the practice. There has always existed this discussion of architecture and its relation to other design related fields, whether good or bad. Taking cues from industrial and transportation design is nothing new to architecture, although the implementation of design related and manufacturing processes is often considered as an after-thought, especial with regard to code compliances and budgets. If systems could further be integrated into pre-fabricated and engineered components, perhaps a new understanding or design philosophy will begin to emerge. Each component will begin to address multiple design issues such as the integration of heating and cooling with shading or even structural systems. Design of these components could further be engineered to address relationships to the body as a governing factor of form, breaking from the molds of the box. Standard architectural tools and software do little to address these influences, so architects and designers are looking for more innovative and specialized tools to analyze, simulate, and visualize rapid and responsive design iterations. Programs such as ZBrush and Maya, used heavily in the entertainment industry aid in the design and implementation of exceedingly complex geometries and systems.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDIO WAS TO DO A DESIGN BUILD PROJECT FOR THE CARETAKER OF KAMAMA PRAIRIE LOCATED IN PEEBLES, OHIO. THE CARETAKER WANTED A PLACE TO STAY OVERNIGHT ON THE PRAIRIE, SINCE THE SITE WAS FAR REMOVED FROM HER CURRENT HOME. ALTHOUGH THE “BUILD” PORTION OF THE STUDIO NEVER HAPPENED THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO “RECLAIM” MATERIAL FROM THE ABANDONED AND DILAPIDATED BARN STRUCTURES SCATTERED AROUND THE SITE. WE WANTED TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY OF THE PRAIRIE AESTHETIC, AND THERE WERE CONCERNS WITH HOW THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT INTRUDED ON THIS DESIRE. THE RECLAIMED MATERIALS WERE INTENDED TO BE APPLIED AS A “PRAIRIE” VENEER, BLENDING THE TINY HOUSE WITH THE ROLLING HILLS OF THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE.

TO ADDRESS THIS, AND TO PROVIDE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A PROPOSED “WET” SHIPPING CONTAINER BATHROOM, WE SETTLED UPON A RAISED CONCRETE PLINTH, DESIGNED WITH INSTALLATION IN MIND. THE SLOPED FORMS AND POROUS NATURE OF THE DESIGN WOULD PROVIDE CONTINUITY OF THE LANDSCAPE INTO THE SITE WHILE ALSO PROVIDING A BARRIER FROM THE NUMEROUS INSECTS (TICKS) AND ANIMALS THAT INHABIT THE PRAIRIE.

EXPLORATIONS IN INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS WERE MODELED OUT AND TESTED USING ARDUINO AND LASER CUT COMPONENTS. AT THE MODEL SCALE, THESE COMPONENTS WORKED AS A PHYSICALLY ADAPTIVE KINETIC FACADE, RESPONDING TO DISTANCE AND SOUND PARAMETERS. EXPLORATIONS ON HOW THIS SYSTEM COULD BE ADAPTED TO THE BUILDING OR ROOM SCALE WERE ALSO TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. HOW COULD THE SOUND OF THESE LARGE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS BE RE-WORKED INTO THE SYSTEM AS EITHER DRIVERS OR MAPPED TO PHYSICAL EXPERIENCES? PERHAPS SPATIAL PROGRAMING COULD EVEN BE REALIZED COMPLETELY BY NOISE, ELIMINATING THE PHYSICAL AND MATERIAL AS MEANS OF CREATING AND INFORMING BOUNDARIES.

Utilizing the space between home/play and studio/work, the addition seeks to seamlessly bridge the gap between the two and provide an agent of discovery in where one could implement design ideas from the studio into the framework of living. Modular panels provide multi-use surfaces that encourage customization and decoration utilizing prefab components, all of which could be fabricated in shop on site. The paneled skin provides a continuous surface embedded with multiple functions. Areas where the body interacts with the surface have smaller apertures and increased material thickness, while areas tuned to daylight analysis have larger apertures to allow the suns rays to shine through to the interior
