assignment 0.01 Making

One precise joint detail: [the] drawings were to be exquisitely crafted,detailed representations from precedence given by the instructor. While the drawings were to be precise, the technique of drawing was to determined by what was being conveyed. This drawing was a study about the idea of detailing and assembly of materials.

Assignment 0.02 making context Build one precise wall section 1/2� = 1’ scale. Models were to be EXQUISITELY crafted, detailed representations of the precedent being studied. Model materials were to be chosen to reflect an understanding of actual materials for construction. These models were to be a precise study of an idea of enclosure.

Details of the Curtain wall of the academy.

Photo voltaic panels are used in this faรงades to vary the intensity of the sun as well as collect energy. The curtain wall is a shelter for many interior buildings. The concept of the building was clouds, the architects used the Photo voltaic panels to emulate an overcast sky with varied patterns to give a natural feeling to this building complex.

Anna is best at detailing while I excel at overall considerations. Anna designed the glass curtain wall and the roof, She intricately pieced them together in a little less than a week. I created the truss members, connections, base, and created all templates for the laser cutter, The connections of the vertical truss members are held together with steel rods. I also calculated the diameter of the members and the cable supports.

Sw eco District Plan

NWHM planning

Design Studio 601 Fall 2012 Instructor: Karen King

Washington dc national Mall area sw eco district master plan In 2010, NCPC joined federal and local partners to establish the SW Ecodistrict Initiative to transform the Southwest Rectangle into a sustainable and livable neighborhood that us federal land and natural resources efficiently and contributes to the economic vitality and environmental health of the city.

Synopsis of the plan: • Reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources, and reduce operating costs; • Establish new cultural destinations beyond the National Mall to help relieve development pressure and overuse • Establish a diverse mix of uses, including cultural, retail, and open space; • Remove visual and physical barriers between the National Mall and the waterfront; •Expand transit capacity, improve walk ability, and enliven streets and public spaces

Recommendations for project • Reconnect the street grid; • Balance the office and housing use mix; • Increase efficient use of federal lands and buildings; • Improve the setting for cultural development; • Unlock the potential for 10th Street and Maryland Avenue to be vibrant corridors.

Realign the 12th Street ramp to enter the grid at Maryland Ave. and deck the tunnel to develop a mix of uses. Provide a commemorative park on Independence Avenue between 11th and 12th Street. Consider incorporating the commemorative park into the design of the adjacent parcels such as the design of Market Square on Pennsylvania Ave.

Creating a museum that the public could interact with beyond the interior, that allowed equal access for all and gave an incredibly powerful experience. these were the goals of our team.

Concept development Emerging: Verb: Become apparent, important, or prominent Through the form we wanted to express the struggle of women’s history. The purpose of this form was to express the struggle between recognition and discovery in women’s history. Each Facture or piece recognizes an important event in women’s history. From the suffrage to current issues like “white” slavery, Women’s history has been like tectonic plates being pushed and pulled by strong, sometimes, violent forces. This museum’s design reflect this.

Precedence: For the interior we looked to Alaphaville architects to see how they created successful “folded” architecture. The exterior we looked at many examples but the form seemed mostly stem from our design senses.

The cafe and theater creates an activation of Independence street and the Museum

Allowing people to elevate as they explore the museum, ending in a panoramic view of the national mall

Administration building is in stark difference to the museum, the building was designed to retain the integrity of the mall with its classic facade

Levels: +2 / -2

Levels: -2/ -4

Exhibit circulation: the metaphor of enlightenment through ascension. The lowest floors show case the hidden history of women: the darkness, as one moves through the space natural light begins to become more prominent. Natural light is used as the metaphor for knowledge.

natural ventilation creates cooling

Environmental responses :

SHUIRUDWHG PHWDO DOORZV GD\OLJKWLQJ LQ EXLOGLQJ

A strong emphasis was place in the SWECO plan for the Independence ave. on environmental responses. It is predicated that Washington DC will suffer water shortages by 2045.

Water collection, recycling, reduction of water waste and production of energy were strong influences on the form. The large green roofs were used to allow interaction beyond the interior of the museum, activate the proposed neighborhood by creating a public space to be shared by the public, water collection that will feed in to proposed water catchment systems.

Assignment: 0.04 Research , asset mapping, and precedence

Assignment: 0.05 Tucumcari, NM : princess theater part a: Research: students were assigned topics to research and share with the class. I chose the smaller town of Tucumcari and was only one of three. We created addition assignments for ourselves to enrich our design process and because there were fewer of us. part b: Each architecture student was assigned a theater in a small town in New Mexico. We worked in conjunction with a landscape architect student to create theater districts. The theater designs were expected to respond to the expressed interest of the citizens of the townships, aim to improve the economic and social viability of the theater and aim to improve the sustainability of the building and its operation. Students did not need to work together as a group, each student could design independently of each other.

Part c: Develop a tool kit of economically plausible, socially robust, and environmentally responsible design strategies and resources for small town movie places that include approaches.

Work should reflect the goals of the communities.

Princess theater

The Princess theater has a wide range of experiences periences and memories in its lifetime. Born on October to ober 21, 1917. The Princess has been a source of pride for the community. Under constant remodeling g for the first half of its career the princess was a grand theater for its time, with flared art deco style and beautiful Carrara glass facade.

On February 21, 1943 The first of many fires The fire completely destroyed the interior. In 1944 the Princess opened again, Fully restored. In 1962, A second blaze tore through the princess from that day until 1977 the theater sat vacant. The last show was in 1985. Since that day the theater has sat in disrepair, waiting like a silent sentinel to serve the community again.

Design [Phase 1]

Princess theater

M i n i m a l Restoration and cleaning

The Princess Theater: Storefront windows can be used as temporary venues for community events. Allowing a large screen television to be placed in the windows community members can gather to tail gate, collectively watch events and create interests along main street.

Suggested criteria for artistic occupation of the store front: Request artist to interact with street front and visitors Utilize the store front windows to activate main street Retain and enhance Tucumcari’s artist and historical identity Investing minimally in the Princess Theater can have big payback. If A space is created that the community can invest in personally, they will be more likely to want to save this historical landmark.

Revitalization of storefronts

Design Studio 602 spring 2013 Instructor: mark childs

interior renovation of storefronts Programing the Princess theater as a bar, cafe, night club or artist studio can help support this community. Tucumcari already has an active historical film theater, it doesn’t need another.

To successfully activate mainstreet it is suggested to create a social hub that locals and tourist can gather to enjoy Tucumcari’s mainstreet.

Around the clock activity can provide a catalyst for mainstreet.

Floating Theater

Design Studio 602 Spring 2013 Instructor:MArk Childs

Precedence: Floating Theater by Ole Scheeren, a German architect based out of Beijing, China designed a floating movie theater to give viewers a truly unique experience while watching films. By using local lobster fisherman rafts with tires, Scheeren created a floating screen and a separate platform for the audience to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. The screen was placed in front of two beautiful rocks in the archipelago in the Bay of Bengal for a film festival called “Film on the Rocks Yao Noi.”

A salt basket from Thailand was the inspiration for the form. The “cradling” form is warm and inviting.

Design Studio 602 spring 2012 Instructor: mark childs

Water In New Mexico is a phenomenon. We celebrate its presence in our desert. I wanted to capture that connection and celebrating by engaging the activity of movie watching with the natural landscape. To create an extroverted movie watching experience.

Location Selection criteria: Public land: land that is regulated by government to reduce environmental impact and damages Access to water through boat dock Forest Service access: allowing the Forest service to use Floating Theater for “Ranger Talks� and other educational uses.

Floating Theater: Construction of this piece would include recycled wood. Wood is an imporatnt material because it extrudes a warmth at night after sitting in the hot New Mexicos hot sun. Warm wood, soft breezes off the water and movie magic.

Traditional floatation options are costly, instead recycling 55 gallon barrels will give bouyancy. The barrels may also be used as anchors when filled with sand.

Iterations of design Different iterations of the location of the supporting wall, screen and materiality. A natural oval shape was chosen over an orthogonal one because of the natural connotations with ovals and water.

Diagram above: Views / natural ventilation Because of the open design of this piece summer use was assumed. The wall wrap is only allowed to protect from wind and retain sound from the screen.

To prevent the loss of views and natural ventilation, windows are design in whimsical random patterns.

Design Studio 602 Spring 2013 Instructor: Mark childs

The thought of watching films on the water seems a little unorthodox, but magical. Sound and light reflecting of the water , No roof , views over the water and an audience, floating in an ephemeral space . A sense of temporality,

randomness. Almost like drift wood.
