Asymmetrical balance and rhythm inform black square patterns. The composition—a line colliding at its tangent with a radius—becomes synergistic and magnifying the frequency. Chaotic elements progressively gravitate together with escalating momentum and proximity creating a synergistic trajectory.

Volume and space is created by manipulating a three dimensional square, employing the constraint of twelve sides and simultaneously considering form and composition By treating the black square composition as a layout and applying three dimensional forms, a place with identity is created.1
Placed in nature atop a butte overlooking vast valleys and approached by a steep foot path, when the destination is achieved and pinnacle is reached, one is facing eastward. At sunrise a burst of orange light pierces through the horizontal slit at the far end of the form, compelling humanity to move toward the light. One moves down a long corridor toward the light, ducking slightly to move past an overhang, and then receives the full display of vibrant colors from the mature sunrise. After admiring this scene, one can exit in an exploratory attitude and finding intimate reflecting spaces. Passively protected from the elements, one is able to reflect on the journey and the jewel earned at its culmination.2

Project II Mark RoddyADE120 By analyzing the negative, inverse spatial characteristics1 of the cube in the previous project, a geometric mimic, an environmentally complementary and inhabitable form is created. As one walks along a foot path in the woods and approaches a clearing, one sees an object foreign to the surrounding natural environment yet intriguing, igniting curiosity. Continuing toward the formation on the path, one discovers a small flight of stairs leading to a platform convenient for rest and enjoy the sound of trickling water, and a vista overlooking a striking mountain lake. After relaxing, curiosity is sparked by a narrow opening. Carefully evading a small pool of water to the left, suddenly the view is opened to a panorama of the majestic mountain peaks. Here one can rest and admire the scene in a cove with seating. After the natural beauty is admired one can reclaim the pursuit of a continued journey.2

Project III Mark RoddyADE120 Yoga is inherently characterized by the solitude associated with it. When this meditative practice is performed in a site with a contrasting dynamic, a frenzied university campus core, separation and isolation, must be created. This is accomplished by using a canopy of trees to distinguish this from its inverse. Balance is portrayed by a circular platform; this reflects the yoga principles of wholeness: mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. The center of the space is occupied by a tree, exemplifying the focus on nature and is cyclical patterns. A wood deck and surrounding poles mimic the forest environment. As the patrons move deeper and deeper into meditation, chaos can be transcended moving into the tranquility of the canopy of the trees.

Originating with a simple two dimensional design; this screen has no inherent scale which it is assigned therefore it can be universally applied. This grants flexibility of purpose and functionality. Used repetitively in succession, it might be used as a wall or trellis from which vibrant flora may grow, or it may be stretched to take on the form of a steel structural facade to be applied to a large building. Both shadow and modeling material usage were explored as part of this study.

Project I & II Aaron HerringFall 06 ALA221 Beginning with simple shapes and progressing to a complex design involving multiple components, materials and themes, the Core to Hayden corridor becomes an inviting space for campus confidants. Even before the concept was attached to a physical location,1 the composition had been the recipient of much inspiration. Basic two-dimensional elements were used to portray an ideology—a trajectory. Some of the initial inspiration included the use of a golden mean based grid, and the understanding of balance and spatial relationships with certain fundamental guidelines dictating composition. The exploration matured from an aimless wander through spaces, to a pointed study of guided motion through converging contrasting elements.2

With this destination in mind, it was imperative to marry it to the fundamental idea of guided motion through contrasting elements. The added element of vegetation was strategically important for strengthening the desired personality and adding new dimension of the conceptualized Core to Hayden Corridor.

Project III Aaron HerringALA221 The transformation from a flowing river of thought into a complex, organized structure of information and knowledge is the vision.1 Moving through this corridor, an individual is presented with many choices. Opportunities for exploration abound. This network is dictated by the parameters through which a kinesthetic thinker might explore information. This design leaves the options open for opportunity and growth, with exhilarating perspectives2 at destinations throughout the project. This is a place of exchange, reminiscent of a marketplace of the past. It was not only a place of trading goods, but a place for people to catch up on the latest gossip, to trade stories, and to pass on the latest and greatest of the age. Visually there was consistency in the chaos: Flags and banners of all shapes, sizes and colors; a hustle and bustle of people moving in all directions with different purposes. The picture that has been painted for you is the site corridor. Cafe, gallery and corresponding interactions portrayed as an information market place. 2

The “market place� presents opportunities to gather specific pieces of information within containers. As one explores the site, access to each segment of information brings enlightenment procured by new knowledge and perspectives. C B A
Sociality is an essential element in this spatial experience. Each container is a fragmented piece of the program, gallery and cafe. The purpose of these amenities is to facilitate the collaboration and sharing of information. Different tiers in the information-sharing-infrastructure facilitate a transition from public to private exchanges. The basic element is the ground plane, which is the platform for sharing information such as casual greetings, light conversation about current events or friends. As dialogue intensifies with more specific information, a group may take the conversation into a secondary information containerA. Containers of greater focusB exude a similar quality—their accessibility is based on the distance one is willing to migrate. Persistence is necessary to reach the tertiary spaces.C

Motion is in inherent when an entity is removed from its environment. Surrounding objects rush in to fill the void of the extraction and equalize pressure on the fields dynamics.1 This pressure on the new model leads to experience, wear, age—and the integrity of the object is compromised. Resiliency levels vary yet inevitably deterioration supercedes and termination occurs. When the entity ceases existence, its environment is again affected. This continual deterioration of the old, and influx of new life—one causing the other—is structurally depicted in a ring of falling dominoes, or a constructed wave. Each is cyclical in pattern, climaxing and abasing to a minimal state. This design articulates an entities complete experience in this progressive cycle.

Death’s nature is to promotes new life: growth is a reaction to a change in environment. Flowers go to seed and die in the winter only to be replaced by new growth in the spring. The moon transitions from full to new moon, then back. Considered on the most basic level, this pattern is a transfer of energy—motion through time. The fluidity of this scenario, observed over a period, is evident: struggle for life and progression, a climax of strength, then weakening and ultimate replacement by the new entity.
