Redwoods is a community designed to foster collaboration and interaction. Set in the center of wooded cover, the main building of the scheme acts as the public hub, placing most of the shared group spaces in juxtaposition to each other. From the topography, and depending on what path the user takes, buildings emerge and are discovered. A hierarchal path system funnels people both from their homes to the center hub, as well as a main axis leading up to a pavilion on the lake.

Redwoods is a modern building in the middle of a rural site. The building itself uses a natural material palette to subtlety sit amongst the forest. The double cantilever not only creates a dynamic entry point along the main axis, but also frames the centralized courtyard.

The courtyard is the center for the scheme. Located in the middle of the woods, the cleared square allows the users to interact in a variety of ways. A lap pool, fire pit and outdoor seating connected to both the bar and community dining areas enhance interaction between the community.

Our proposal is to provide the Civil and Nuclear Engineering Departments a home that reflects the underlying traditions of the campus while providing opportunities for a more dynamic work environment. Our inspiration is derived from an analysis of the site’s transition from a self-evident grid patterned design to the Hunt’s more dynamic elevations. By choosing to fill our central space with bridges, we create an open and cooperative environment between the faculty and the students as they can choose to sit and work together along any of the paths. In this way, the building’s experience begins to bridge the gap between the student and the teacher, the Oval and its Icon, our traditions and our future.

EBV strived to be the connection between the existing engineering style to the dynamic and contemporary nature of the Hunt Library. The grid system begins to deteriorate as the building grows closer to the Hunt Library. The building shifts, both on the interior and exterior, from static to dynamic.

This semester focused on an analysis of Charleston, South Carolina. The goals were to diagram and model Charlestons history as it applies to areas ranging from landform growth and city expansion to the rhythm and proportion of buildings located in the historical district. The back and forth nature between modeling and analog drawing allowed me to grasp a wide range understanding of city analysis. The zoomed in nature eventually led to the creation of the Charleston City Museum.

The Charleston City Museum focused on an abstract nature of four walls: the wall of the city, wall of light, wall of books, and the wall of the surveyor. These walls told the story of Charleston as a whole as well as the historic nature of the district it was placed.

We chose to embody the façade of the new headquarters for the Masonry Society with the modular dimensions of nominal brick. Supported by 4 CMU columns, the bricks are organized to showcase the variety of ways the faces and orientations could be laid out. The design was refined to six vertical strips of varying heights for the different orientations: stretcher, header, soldier, sailor, rowlock, and shiner. The design provides clear communication to the brick’s modular possibilities. In order to support the elevated brick cavity wall, a custom made angle iron is necessary. Our group received 1st place in this Masonry Society Scholarship competition.

Moore Square lends itself to a variety of unicque spaces, making the historic district a prime location for different types of gathering. Music, Artspace, City Market and many small resturants make up the block, and with the addition of affordable housing, the square becomes a fully interactive sommunity space/ The focus is to ceate mixed-use, mixed-income housing that showcases a matching retail style of its neighbor, City Market, as well as creating spaces that allow different interactions. As the building shifts, public to more private courtyards are created, each with their own purpose. The furthest north courtyard is paired with a City Market style retail space, allowing for different types of owners to occupy the building. This more public courtyard is served as an extension of the rest of the square, circulating the user back out to Moore Square. The middle courtyard acts as the major entry point into the housing complex. Bike storage, a bus stop as well as its own coffee shop makes this space a perfect gathering spot for the morning commuter, as well as those attending the middle school directly across the street. The southern courtyard acts as the day care’s private playground, allowing for only approved guest into the space. courtyards.
For the individual units, the goal was to make as many one and two bedroom units as possible, something that Raleigh is in desperate need of. Each unit tries to make a large living space, connected to individual private balconies. Each unit gets a unique view, whether towards the downtown skyline or overlooking one of the courtyards.

For this dwelling, I got the opportunity to design my own program centered around an Astronomer as my user. My site had a forty foot grade to deal with, so the design solution of a tower was put in place to get above the trees for optimal star gazing conditions. The dwelling strives to accomplish connections from the ground to the sky, while acting in harmony with its natural surroundings. Embedded into the site, the main living spaces of the home put the user into a very private space. The transparency and texture of the tower begin to blend into its wooded environment. As the user ascends, a separation between the earth and the sky takes place, allowing for amazing views above the treeline.

Ed is an astronomer enthusiast. His main goal is to escape hard worked days and enter a space of solitude, surrounded by natural beauty and the items he deems beautiful, his telescopes. Always in view, his telescopes are readily available to be taken out to his viewing platform, where he can see every star in the sky. The relationship between the ground and sky was very important to this scheme. Entering through a stone wall, Ed reinforces the idea of the rigid ground. The ceiling angle and translucent back end of the dwelling promote looking to the sky, and Ed’s large collection of telescopes. As Ed ascends towards the sky, he comes to a more hierarchal space, surrounded by the items he loves. Ed then escapes the ground, essentially floating over the earth, on his viewing platform surrounded by darkness.
