ROBERT BURNHAM HOUSING STUDIO
A continuation of residential design and program study, this project was framed to fit the rest of the 12 weeks of Spring semester. Students had the option to chose between two sites, A and B, located on 35-36 W McMillan Street, Cincinnati. Location of the following project is on Site A. With an elevation change of approximately 20 ft. between the north and south directions, this site provided an opportune topography to play with variant levels between programs. The main programs of the project scope included 6 three bedroom units, 8 two bedroom units, 6 one bedroom units, approximately 3000-5000 sq. ft. of commercial space, central lobby connecting all residents to every facility available on their premises and a multipurpose space for fitness and likewise. The design constraints were loose enough to add a few more program typologies onto the existing requirement. I focused on natural daylighting as an important factor for designing the interiors of my apartment units. Placing balconies onto the southern edge and spacious curtain wall openings on the northern face facilitated appropriate daylight into private and public spaces inside each apartment. A central lobby and circulation space connects all units to the basement parking, commercial and multipurpose spaces for ease of access.

MELANIE SWICK TECTONICS STUDIO
Tectonics- is the activity of making materially requisite construction that answers certain needs, but rather to the activity that raises this construction to an art form. Located at the General James Taylor Park, on the levee spanning across the Licking River, these experimental studies were performed in order to determine the climatological, social and aesthetic aspects involved in designing a rowing facility on or near the river. Ranging from small to extra large, various scales of data interpretation were performed in stages to understand and incorporate various findings from the existing topography, in order to influence and exaggerate different design elements involved in designing the facility. Tectonics was used as a constraint to inform these factors by using techniques such as bas relief, layering and material analyses.

MELANIE SWICK TECTONICS STUDIO
Located at the General James Taylor Park, on the levee spanning across the Licking River, the Covington/Cincinnati Rowing facility was to be designed with the intentions of creating a habitat for rowers to practice, train and improve on their skills. Basic requirements for the project included an outdoor storage for boats, canoes, indoor storage, gymnasium, administrative facility and a rental storage for visitors to the city. I explored the idea of creating modular spaces under one roof, creating separate units but merging them into one ecosystem built onto the existing topography. I played with the elevation change between the top of the levee and the bottom close to the water, by placing modular spaces that gradually trickle down to the bottom. I mimicked the motion produced by waves in water onto the designing of roofs of each unit. The roofs extend down on some sides facilitating access to the top for great views of the Cincinnati skyline.

TERRY BOLING TRAVEL STUDIO
Wood and stone are two of the most ubiquitous construction materials in the history of architecture -both on the brink of ground-breaking changes as a result of new manufacturing technologies. The SAID 2017 travel studio, conducted by Professor Terry Boling, was crafted around the notion of examining these materials and their manifestations in situ in their native environments. We visited completed projects, toured architects’ offices, visited universities researching innovative construction methods, and worked for several days in one of the few remaining stonemason schools, in Europe. Upon our return to the States we articulated these design typologies onto four sets of armatures representing four regions. I was assigned to the Switzerland team. Swiss building construction relies heavily on the available materials in the forested areas of the country, namely weathered wood and cross-laminated timber (CLT). A structural armature, born out of joint collaboration with 5 other students, was designed using Douglas fir reinforced with custom steel turnbuckles, and an exterior cladding of thin walnut strips- articulated both as CLT panels and as perforated light screens, which recall the layering and stacking of materials seen in building facades in Switzerland. The dark walnut wood is reminiscent of the weathered wood seen in Switzerland, while the Douglas fir was used to articulate the lighter interior construction, a dialogue commonly seen in Swiss architecture. Angles made of rolled steel were used to connect the structural studs to each other.

STUDIOS ARCHITECTURE, SAN FRANCISCO INTERNSHIP
The Linked In headquarters is located in Mountain view, California. The project totals to be around 1.5 million square feet. The shape of the massing is still a work in progress, but the basic mass is derived from the shape of the site, a natural triangle. The individual buildings are then manipulated at every edge to expose or cover according to the cardinal directions of every edge. Bird Safe design has been taken into account intensively, therefore every glass facade is fritted to prevent birds from slamming against the exterior surface. As an intern for the schematic design team, I was responsible for making various iterations of the facades of each building with the materials decided at the time. The bottom two floors are made of pre-cast concrete with a fixed system of double-glass units, the next two floors are made of fritted glass panels with extruding metal strips that increase and decrease in frequency on the panels based on heat map studies conducted by the team. The top two floors are standardized curtain wall systems with integral formed aluminum, the width of which also varies depending on heat map studies conducted by the team as well.

Sketching in situ has its own way of portraying something that might not be seen by one’s naked eye. Our minds run faster than our eyes, which sometimes result in drawing differently than you see. Sketching is my way of grounding myself from the stifled world. I use my hands to express what my words cannot. The sketches portrayed in this and the following spread were drawn during my two month travel to Europe with the Holz Und Stein Travel Studio. 16
