SHANE SMITH

Undergraduate Architecture Portfolio

INTRODUCTION Let me introduce myself. My name is Shane Smith; I recently graduated from the Clemson University School of Architecture. I am currently looking for a full time position after graduation. Let me help you get to know me as a person and hopefully my portfolio will give you a glimpse of my potential as a designer. I am an avid reader though some might say bookworm, and I am equally content to read a book on architecture theory as a science fiction novel and anything in between. That’s not to say I don’t live an active lifestyle; I spent a substantial portion of my free time at Clemson hiking the foothills searching out hidden waterfalls. I am an adventurer and a wanderer, and I’ve never been lost, though I have been mighty confused a few times. I am a food enthusiast (though a terrible chef) and though I am good with people I’m bad with jokes, I always seem to get the punchline wrong. I encourage you to take a look through my portfolio; within you will find a broad range of projects which showcase my talents as a designer. If you have questions or like what you see you can find my resume and contact information at the end of this portfolio. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,

Shane Smith

R E V I TA L I Z AT I O N T H R O U G H R E _ I N T E G R AT I O N Set in Fountain Inn, South Carolina; Invigorate was part of a master planning project for the town. Fountain Inn is a typical southern town on the decline; most of the industry from the town has dried up and moved on. All that is left is a shrinking downtown with no life to speak of, and a seldom used railroad that cuts through the town. The challenge of this project was to find a way to reconnect and revitalize Fountain Inn. My hope was that by redeveloping Fountain Inn as a destination to visit from the larger city of Greenville it would reinvigorate the downtown area and create a new vision of Fountain Inn. The second part of the project focused on the design of a critical element of the master plan. I chose to design a Light Rail station. By imagining a light rail from Greenville to Fountain Inn I provided a much needed link to the City both for the residents of Fountain Inn and an escape from the City for the residents of Greenville. I wanted my design to be an Iconic structure to represent a new beginning for Fountain Inn so while I held my design to the scale of the surrounding context I made no attempt to mimic the existing town. My Train Station features an ornamental canopy structure to shade and cover the platform area. The canopy was inspired by Origami corrugation patterns and is a variation on the Yoshimura folding pattern. The station itself is a small open concept plan nestled beneath the canopy that is mostly dedicated to circulation space. I wanted to add some texture to the glass faรงade without compromising the fullness of the light entering the space; After some research I found a product called Slump glass, a structural glass system that allows for greater spans of glass with less structural frame support.

L’Eixample in Barcelona, Spain is a unique urban environment whose design owes its roots to Ildefons Cerda, a Spanish architect and urban planner who conceived of what is now the typical city block structure. L’Eixample is composed of square city blocks with chamfered corners which allow for ease of pedestrian movement, and a network of roads within the Eixample is composed of main arteries which connect centers of the city and subsidiary roads which network the neighborhoods together. While L’Eixample is an amazing example of urban planning it falls short of Cerda’s original plan. Cerda originally called for “green avenues for pedestrian movement between the blocks but future urban planners took advantage of the space and filled them in to be the four sided block that is typical in Barcelona. Pedestrian space is seeing a new rise in demand and the need to explore new options for the often dead space within the block is becoming more pressing. The Development of “Passeig del Mercat” (which in Catalan means Market Promenade) was an attempt to meet two needs at once while creating a unique usable space out of what is now a parking garage at the center of a block. Passeig combines a marketplace with a public square while retaining the existing parking structure that occupies the site. The goal was to create a hidden oasis above the converted parking structure for public activities and to improve the interior appearance of the block interior as a neglected façade. By introducing a walkable surface and green space above the market place and creating access to the site it became possible to redefine the interior of the block as a nucleus for social and commercial interactions.

Asheville NC, MOOGFEST 2014 PATCH Architecture Installation

PATCH

A N I N T E R FA C E F O R C O N N E C T I V I T Y In the spring of 2014 my senior studio was challenged with the opportunity to create an engaging public installation space for Moogfest 2014, we responded with the concept of Patch: a place for interaction and connection between both festivalgoers and Asheville locals. Inspired by Bob Moogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of cables to patch singular sounds together to create complex songs within his legendary synthesizers, the installation aims to link the many diverse pixels (people, ideas, places) that inhabit our space into a collective image that expresses a common passion for design, music and innovation. Patch consists of four key interfaces to achieve this goal: a groundscape for comfortable conversation, a userscape with movable furniture and cell phone charging stations, a mediascape with photo backdrops and virtual interactive games, and a cloudscape that hovers over the users, acting as a visual landmark and providing shelter from the elements.

MOBILE NANO-BREWERY DESIGN/BUILD

Mobile Brew Team

The Nano- Brewery Project was developed for a creative inquiry in the Spring of 2014. The Clemson University Brew Crew a campus club wanted a mobile platform to mount their Nano-Brewery System which they could then take to brew festivals around the country to use as a teaching mechanism. This project came with many challenges; the first of which was the very narrow budget, we were given $1,000 to provide the club with a fully functional mobile platform for brewing. In order to make the most of this budget we acquired a trailer used for a previous design/build that had fallen out of use and begun to deteriorate and which the club could lease until they had the funds to purchase it outright. The Trailer now formed the foundation of the project and we had to constrain our design to fit within its envelope. The result is a compact program contains Kitchen facilities, storage space, Brew space and a teaching porch from which the club can educate participants on the science of brewing and their own unique brew system. We utilized a variety of materials and construction methods to create the space. Most of the major elements were cut on the CNC Router to cut down on material waste. Also Several Items such as the sink and water return tank were reclaimed and repurposed materials salvaged from the junk yard. Construction Began in July 2014 and is expected to be complete in early August. Photos of the final product will follow when they become available.

Box Project View from above into lamp

ILLUMINATE SCULPTURAL LAMP AND CENTERPIECE

Illuminate began as a project in an Intro to Craft Studio; the original project was to build a box, the box could contain anything so long as it fit within the volumetric limits of the project. After some thought about what I would put in a box and if the box would be used often, I began to think of unconventional things to put in a box; this is how Illuminate was born. I wanted to design a Box to contain light; a traditional lamp with a shade was not an option. The end result of my design is a truncated prism composed of two components; the base and the shade. The shade is built like a lattice that is denser at the base than the top, this allows light to bleed out from the larger openings and less from the tighter weave. The base contains all of the electrical components of the lamp. Because the lamp is intended to act as a centerpiece I did not want it to have a cord so I incorporated a battery operated system that is activated by remote. The lamp is not intended as a source of light in most cases, rather it is intended to be used for ambience or low lighting.
