This Advanced Design Portfolio reflects the architectural coursework of Sean Michael Fallace from spring of 2015 through summer of 2016. During this time period I have refined my craft as a designer, and expanded the scope of my architectural acuity. This portfolio is focused on the core design fundamentals of “Design Thinking”, a term repeatedly inculcated in students during the undergraduate years of an architectural education. The practice of “Design Thinking” has helped me to better understand a human-centered, prototype-driven process for innovation that can be applied to project, service, and architecture. The University of South Florida’s architecture program has guided me in exploring different formalized methodologies for inspiring essential elements of creativity. The USF School of Architecture and Community Design is structured with a quadripartite system. The essential pillars of the USF program include introductory coursework, core design coursework, advanced design coursework, and thesis coursework. This portfolio represents the 3rd phase of my architectural education at USF. The advanced design coursework features a condensed learning curve, where students take the diagrammatic design lessons of core design coursework and apply them to real world scenarios in the built realm. “Design Thinking” is used to extract a formal method for practical, creative resolution of architectural issues, with the ambition of a improved future result. My education during this period has taken me to cities like London, Chicago, and San Francisco where I observed real life situations that I could apply my design education to. I listened to experts talk about their solutions, stayed in the affected areas, and researched new ways to approach design. This portfolio representation is an indepth exposition of my process, from design problem to design solution. Projects include a design challenge, general analysis, first hand experiential record, design process, detailed analysis, design solution, and proposed course of action. These projects are intended to provoke question, thought, and response. Enjoy.

ABSTRACT:

The Oistat Theatre Competition is an international ideas competition to design a floating theatre to be moored at a particular location on the Spree River, but capable of being moved to other sites along the river. This theatre will provide a performance space for an audience of 200 to 300 people with a stage accommodation for a cast of no more than 20 performers. Facilities for the audience, such as restrooms and refreshment areas, will be located on land. These facilities are capable of relocation when required. The interest amongst theatre practitioners in the use of temporary sites also drives the initiative to stray away from conventional theatre attributes. These settings can often provide a unique atmosphere, which resonate with a particular production or style of presentation, in a way that may not be possible in a conventional theatre design. The Site for the competition is on the northeast bank of the Spree River in Berlin in an area known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holzmarkt.â&#x20AC;? This part of the river was the boundary between East and West Berlin during the years of the Berlin Wall and as a result became a no mans land. The theatre is meant to revitalize the slow moving development in the area and showcase a symbol of evolution for the city of Berlin. Oistat intends to encourage a deeper understanding of the relationship between the performance itself and the space which it inhabits. Collaborations between architect and theatre practitioner are keynote objectives in the proper development and exhibition of experimental performances.

B A C K G R O U N D + P R O P O S A L

The grounds at Holzmarkt Street are designed to transform to accommodate individual venue requirements. The buildings are temporary in nature and capable of relocation with the use of minimal equipment. In juxtaposition to these transient buildings is an untouched public park area, which can provide a venue for additional performances, possibly at a small scale. An Urban Dock allows for docking of the Oistat theatre while still giving the public an opportunity to connect with the water in a way that is seldom seen along the Spree River. Visitors are encouraged by the design layout to enjoy the scenic waterscape while spectating the light and music show of the floating theatre. The 15,000 square foot site provides a public node that can be a positive landmark for the community. This Holzmarkt center has the opportunity to encourage tourism and create new development in the area. Keynote Objectives: -create an innovative concert venue atmosphere -increase tourism -stimulate the economy -promote environmental sustainability -increase urban interaction in public space

More recently, the craze of Electronic Dance Music |EDM| culture has swept across Europe. This music genre utilizes groundbreaking technology that requires a unique venue setting to properly display and enjoy the performance. Most theatre venues can be adapted to accommodate an EDM style performance, however, The Drop is designed specifically for this concert type. It maintains multiple instillations for acoustic, lighting, and visual stimuli that are unique to Electronic Dance Music presentation. The conceptual design in based solely on the intended user interaction of the theatre. The Drop is an initiative to create a venue that pioneers a technologically advanced atmosphere to maximize the experience of an Electronic Dance Music performance. It is a keynote objective to maintain the architectural principles of good design while collaborating with new technologies in the field of electronic performance. This is an experimental collaboration between architect and practitioner that can positively impact an up-and-coming style of theatre performance. The electronic music industry has only recently gained support in popular culture, subsequently, the venues for itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance are in their early paradigms of possibility. As Electronic Dance Music grows in popularity, there will be an increasing need for venues that can support this type of concert. The future of Electronic Dance Music is promising, and The Drop features an innovative perspective on the next generation of music performance.

The Holzmarkt is the center of the neighbourhood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; physically and spiritually, the market, the creative village, the club and the restaurant invite, surprise, inspire and entertain. Artists, artisans, musicians and hedonists create with and for each other. - The words of the Berlin Cooperative

Successful performance spaces are designed based on key considerations that create a successful interaction between audience, artists, and technology. Some of these considerations include: audience cohesion, sightlines, and acoustics. The way that the audience is arranged plays a key role in creating a successful atmosphere where audiences feel engaged in the performance. It also allows performers to communicate with the audience efficiently. The sightlines are directly correlated to audience cohesion and synergy. To achieve an acceptable standard of communication, the audience must be as close as possible to the stage with an unobstructed view. This helps the audience distinguish the performers gestures while allowing appreciation of the scenic architectural space that they occupy. The Drop is equipped with a state of the art Lighting and Sound system that works cohesively with the architectural sightlines and spatial boundaries set in the design. The audience experience is the primary concern throughout the performance space. The Drop features an L.E.D Embed Glass Panel Facade |emmitance| that creates a luminous effect both inside and outside of the structure. The Façade coincides with two L.E.D. tower instillations located within the floating theatre that are interacting with the audience. This L.E.D. system is in direct correspondence to the EDM performance. New lighting and sound techniques can be explored with advances in kinetic and luminous instillations found within the construct. A primary DJ/Performance space is located slightly above the primary audience deck to maximize sightlines and acoustic efficiency. The booth features an offset roof canopy that holds a kinetic speaker/lighting system that amplifies the performance output. The name “The Drop” comes from the large subwoofer floating above the DJ Booth, serving as a symbolic totem for the theatre. It can be observed from almost anywhere is the construct. Instillations like this are as much iconic and they are functional, adding to the appeal of the theatre in the tourist industry. Circulation was given a heavy emphasis in the design phase, being that an occupancy of 400+ patrons had to be realized in a 5,000 square foot theatre. It is important to be able to move people efficiently throughout without impendences on the performances or public safety.

ABSTRACT:

The Logan Center in Chicago hosts concerts, exhibitions, performances, programs, and other events for world class, emerging, local, and student artists. The Center is truly a diversified and complex facet of Chicago’s culture. It is an ideal venue for the creative works that find a home in Chicago. The Amalgamated Art Museum is the result of an acknowledged problem. The Logan Center is too small to accommodate all the art that it deserves to showcase. The Museum of Amalgamated Art is a Logan Center extension brought closer to the Downtown Chicago area to expand the center’s reach and capacity. This 40,000 square foot museum is located at the edge of a major train stop, which drives the very busy intersection of North Franklin Street and Chicago Avenue. The Museum of Amalgamated Art holds a variety of program. This includes a 200 person auditorium, artist + student studios, faculty offices, exhibition space, student gallery, vault, bookstore, and café. The Museum of Amalgamated Art presents a contemporary art program in a construct that was designed specifically for this type of art. The building itself is a focal point with a high range of visibility in the city. a·mal·ga·mate- combine or unite to form one organization or structure.

The Logan Center Extension uses an adaptive parametric faรงade that mimics the language of the Logan Center. This appropriation was achieved with a parametric modeling plugin known as Grasshopper. This program uses scripted commands to achieve 3 axis polysurfaces. I created this script to generate the Logan Center Extension exterior facade.

TALL TREE AND THE EYE

A primary facet of this project was to house a large-scale exhibit to be selected by the Architect. I selected the contemporary art installation, Tall Tree and the Eye, designed by Anish Kapoor. The metal surface creates an interactive reflective effect as the Chicago L train passes by the structure. Patrons are able to experience the sculpture at different elevations of the building. The reflections are visible on the ground level, and pedestrians are given a new perspective of the elevated train above.

The Thames 21 Aquarium and Residential Complex site location :

Royal Docks, London. England site area :

500,000 sq. ft. building area :

150,000 sq. ft.

ABSTRACT: The Thames 21 Aquarium at the Royal Docks is a marine sanctuary that has

the goal of educating the public on the basic issues of sustainability that the Thames River is currently facing. It also contains over 100,000 square feet of rentable residential and market rate units that celebrate the scenic views of the area. The site is located on the Thames River, with water bordering two of its sides. This is an ideal location for both residential units, and a community initiative to positively impact the environmental waterway on which it is located. Currently the site has a lack of interaction between the pedestrian realm and the waterway. Civilians are disengaged with the Thames River and encouraged to disengage with it. This is resulting in developers ignoring the Royal Docks area and focusing more on the Central London Districts. The construct is intended to mediate the public with the Thames River and change attitudes towards it. It also will house marine sanctuaries that can begin to educate people about the problems that the Thames is facing, allowing for them to become involved. Helping teachers to use the local environment in their teaching enables students to learn from relevant and immediate examples of environmental problems and solutions.

B A C K G R O U N D + P R O P O S A L

The Royal Docks area is currently affected by a complex mixture of dichotomies between international branding and grassroots efforts. The area needs a symbol of change to permanently remedy the negative opinions that civilians have of the area. I used the contemporary philosophy of architecture in Biomimicry to help develop this symbol. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well-adapted to life on earth over the long haul (Biomimicry Institute). The philosophy helps to address sustainability issues with real world inspiration. The process models were designed to be extremely adaptable for the Royal Docks area while still providing a local iconic language for the area to be defined by. The models are details and precedent studies for what would later become the Thames 21 marine sanctuary. They reflect on issues of light exposure, weather exposures, and adaptable construction.

The Royal Docks are home to the London City Airport, located between the northern and southern docks. It was opened in 1988 to serve the Canary Wharf development, becoming the fifth busiest airport in terms of passengers and aircraft movements serving the London Area. The Royal Docks, London, was also home to an annual airshow that helped to promote the area as an aviation hub in London. Residents from all over London would visit the airport and watch spectacles of British engineering once a year. However, in 2008 the airshow was discontinued due to budget cuts. In addition, commercial shipping has been closed since 1981, effectively ending the areas great commercial success from the first half of the 20th century. The Royal Docks has experienced a slump in development, and ultimately lacks appeal for most Londoners. The revamping of the London Airshow is a great way to revitalize the name of the Royal Docks and promote the area. This includes scenic waterscape views, historic architecture, and more recently mixed-use development comprising housing, shops, and restaurants. With the closing of the shipping lanes, residential development should be thriving in the area; however, residents continue to harbor a negative feeling about the area. It is important to redefine the Canary Wharf district as an extension of the Central London scene, rather than an isolated town outside of it. The Docks have much to offer, and once public opinion is improved the area will begin to flourish again.

Thames 21Charity _how to empower the people?

Thames 21 is an independent charity funded by a wide variety of charitable trusts, companies and public funding. It has a growing and diverse program of water improvement projects across London. The Thames 21 aquarium is meant to become the central location for this charity that can work hand-in-hand with local communities to improve and maintain London’s waterways. The charity is currently the primary voice for London’s waterways with a powerful emphasis on education.

EDUCATION “Engaging with young people is vital for sustainable environmental improvement. It provides an opportunity to change attitudes and encourage positive behaviour at an early age. Helping teachers to use the local environment in their teaching enables students to learn from relevant and immediate examples of environmental problems and solutions. Thames21 aims to develop lasting connections between schools and their local environment through our education activities.” -Thames 21, info@thames21.org.uk

STRATEGY -Provide environmental education to children and adults -Promote safe and equitable access to waterways -Create new habitats for wildlife -Remove litter from the waterway -Campaign for the reduction of waterway pollution and promote sustainable behavior. -Accredit and train community groups to deliver safe and sustainable waterway improvement events. -Monitor and research into the health of our London’s rivers -Create sustainable drainage solutions to improve water quality and reduce flood risk

SOCIAL AMBIGUITY _how to mix market rate housing with affordable housing?

The site is located on the Thames River, with water bordering two of its sides. This is an ideal location for both residential units, and a community initiative that wants to positively impact the environmental waterway that it is located on. As people circulate through the site there is a lack of a predictable path. You do not know whether people are going to a market rate apartment, attainable housing apartment, or just circulating through the public aquarium. This helps to nullify any feelings of social tension that a specific social group might have for another group. The construct integrates and mixes market rate housing, affordable rate housing, and third space aquariums throughout the site in a way conducive for ambiguity. The final construct is meant to be an Architectural landmark in social integration and marine sustainability.

SUSTAINABILITY

Much of the faรงade is modeled after the Biomimetic study models from an earlier exercise in the project. This informs many issues of sustainability within the site. Structural details are meant to withstand the rough weather conditions that hinder the Royal Docks, while delicate transparencies create a pleasant atmosphere to reside in. Passive cooling techniques and exaggerated balconies also make for a limited environmental impact from harmful emissions.

STRATEGY _how do we really make an impact? 1. Create a modern hub of marine sustinablity. 2. Engage in local aid to rejuvinate the marine environment. 3. Educate society on the problems that the Thames faces. 4. Implement corrections for future generations.

ABSTRACT: The CEYAD is a mixed-use development project designed to create a hybrid

structure with amenities for young artists and designers. It will include areas for residents and the public to work and engage in a studio environment, gallery space for the work to be exhibited, and residential dormitories for the artists and designers. The main objective of the project is to house and facilitate a variety of amalgamated fields under the same roof, while maintaining the virtue of affordability. San Francisco is undergoing a large densification that leaves early level professionals scraping by for places to live and work. Not only are people that try to maintain residency having issues, but also the artists and designers displaying transitory exhibits experience difficulties. The CEYAD facility is designed to house both the long-term and the transient resident. The amalgamated nature of the design keeps artists near their places of work, while the public galleries attract new patrons to view it. The hybrid construct was designed to join the initiative of more ecological transit, by limiting commute times and transforming a parking infrastructure into that of public mixed-use development.

Market Street Perspective

THE FACADE OF NEW URBANISM This residential faรงade style comes from an adaptation of the grand flatiron building style that has maintained popularity in the San Francisco area. Market Street is undergoing an urban takeover of glass faรงade block patchwork. These facades are helping to bring the city into the new era of modern urbanism. Being the most critical issue, housing units are the building blocks for this new urbanism. This adaptive style gives tribute to the San Francisco heritage while also feeding the spirit of architectural provocation that the city is currently being transformed by.

MINI HOME

for a homeless veteran

INTENT:

To create an affordable housing alternative for the forgotten heores of the U.S. military working to regain their independence and self sufficiency.

ABSTRACT: Fall of 2016 the nonprofit Celebrate Outreach of St. Petersburg, Fl, contacted Professor Josue Robles at the University of South Florida to assemble a design team. Their objective was to design a permanent housing solution for veterans who are currently experiencing homelessness. This housing was meant to be affordable, with a construction material budget of $30,000 and a building imprint of no more that 500 square feet. Our team of USF students has created a series of prototype Mini-Homes designed to efficiently house a single resident. The design depicted is a simple 480 square foot floor plan designed with maximum functionality. Although there are no restrictions on the usage of the space, the design is ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) compliant to accommodate all possible occupants. The design concepts created by our team of USF students are meant to be activated in union with the expertise of local architecture and construction firms in the Tampa area. The end goal will result in a series of affordable residential unit models that can be duplicated to help end veteran homelessness in the St. Petersburg area.

COURSE OVERVIEW + OBJECTIVE Design Development is a course where the student chooses a previously developed studio project of the schematic design phase, and continues its design into the design development phase. Project attributes will be altered to accommodate the developing architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and physical systems of the building. Primary emphasis is placed on the selection and dimensional interrelationship between building systems, feasibility, code requirements, and cost. Further emphasis is placed on the use of system modules to resolve design problems that may have been overlooked in the schematic design phase. This is particularly important for the horizontal and vertical coordination of all dimensions. Secondary emphasis is placed on the field effectiveness of relevant precedents for similar design elements. The ability to learn from common practice in the profession to choose the right systems for the right conditions is key for future architecture practitioners.

BACKGROUND+PROPOSAL St. Augustine, Florida, is home to miles of Intra-coastal Waterway and diverse landscapes. It is an ideal location for a culture that utilizes water resources as a form of transportation. When the Spanish arrived in the early 1500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s they quickly established valuable shipping nodes. These, now recognized, shipping territories required guarding from the many threats that could come from the Atlantic Ocean. Fort Matanzas was one of the secondary defense constructs that protected the colonial shipping region from the Southern Approach to St. Augustine. The Fort Matanzas National Monument is one of the only remaining examples of Spanish Watchtowers in the Continental United States. Fort Matanzas endured only eighty years of service before it was abandoned. In 1935 the National Park Service declared the Fort a National Monument, and set land aside for a visitor center. The Inhabited Landscape proposal creates a promenade of trails, constructs, and experiences that link the Atlantic Ocean to Fort Matanzas and the Intracoastal Waterway that it is protecting.

Structural System ABSTRACT: The Long House utilizes

an exposed structural system. The historic Coquina stone of Fort Matanzas was used as a foundation that the Long House’s skeletal armature could branch out from. The addition to the fort is meant to be as noninvasive to the natural landscape of Rattlesnake Island as possible. The Fort is located on the sand of Rattlesnake Island making single pile structural footings the ideal choice for this delicate approach. The Long House seemlessly floats above the landscape with the support of wide-flange columns @30’o.c..

DX SPLIT SYSTEM: A split system is a combination of an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor condensing

unit. The indoor air handling unit contains a supply air fan and an air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger (or cooling coil), and the expansion device. The outdoor components consist of a condensing unit and chilling unit that provide a liquid refrigerant line to the air handler. An indoor boiler and thermal expansion tank is also used to supply heat to a heating coil in the air handler when necessary.

LEACHFIELD: Fort

Matanzas is located on Rattlesnake Island and has limited access to standard accommodations. This includes the County sewage treatment facility. The Long House will use a Leachfield system to naturally dispose of septic waste. This system depends on a drainfield where effluent absorption and purification will occur.

2 DRAIN SYSTEM: The Long House will have both a septic drain (for the disposal of urinal and water closet waste), and a grey water drain (for sink and appliance waste that will be sand filtered and recycled into the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water closets).

Commercial Off-Grid Solar Solution + Generator Backup: The Conext Multi-Cluster Three-

Phase Power System is meant to harvest energy (store it, regulate it, and distribute it) from photovoltalic panels into AC breaker panels. A multi-cluster three-phase system consists of three to nine XW+ inverters (grouped into sets of three) physically connected and configured so that collectively they produce three-phase power. The setup of the Long House requires a 6-unit inverter setup with an emergency generator backup system.
