BU Ceramics Innovation Hub Project Partner: Artem Batuyev Located at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue, the Mass Pike Highway, and an existing Boston University Arts Building, the new Hub acts as a connection point to all three typologies. The GreenLine train on Commonwealth Ave, the Commuter Rail train below the Mass Pike, and the existing arts building connecting together stimulates large user interaction. These different connection points are all main vectors of circulation and structure. Exposed structure along the bridges, the main atrium, fabrication lab, and art gallery all connect people to each other as public spaces. “The BU Hub” seeks to integrate exposed steel structure throughout the design that all reflect their respective programmatic spaces. The building’s infrastructure connects people to the existing infrastructure of Boston’s transportation system. The use of key steel structural elements as focal points to circulate around integrates the public directly to the student population of Boston University.

MIT Housing + Facade Design MIT Interstitial Housing looks to solve the harsh divide of academics and student living spaces. Through the use of interstitial open spaces, both housing and acadmics live off of one another.This new building typology aims to create a healthier balance between academics andstudent living. These interstitial spaces are those that can revolve around student activities that take place on MITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus. The four spaces are a gaming space, group study space, lounge space,and a public maker spaces. These programs float between both typologies while feeding off of the existing interstitial space on the site. The site on theother side of the MIT Chapel by Eero Saarinen is separated by a street that creates breathing room for a building on this site and the Chapel. This design executes a creative way to connect with the MIT Chapel through an experimental facade design drawing inspiration from the Chapel itself.

RobotArt Painting Competition Project Team: Austin Samson, Peter Comeau, and Lindsay Dumont The RobotArt.org Competition submission consists of various categories of paintings, and a process video put together for the committee. These painting exercises aim to test the ability of the robotic arm to take control over imprecise variables that are commonplace to many forms of creative processes used today. The ability to understand and control the nuance of slightly altering techniques or seemingly uncontrollable variables can lead to new discourse on how we understand the material properties. Because the robotic arm has the ability to repeat the same task with such slight variability, it can be used to take control over many environmental qualities that we never could before. In this case, paint on a paint brush. Here, variables such as the amount of paint, pressure of the brush against the page, how often paint is re-applied to the brush, and even the density of the bristles can be used as driving forces for design.

The tool itself was modeled in Autodesk Maya and Rhinoceros 5. It has a quick disconnect attachment to the robotic arm, as shown in the photo directly to the right. Frames of the tool animation demonstrates its assembly and parts. This simple tool is used to test differnent image types through grasshopper and KUKA PRC. Gradients test limits, the paint drops test resolution, and the portraits test clarity. The final exploration tests going from three dimensional forms to two dimensional surfaces by 3D scanning the painters head and using it as the base for tool-pathing.

Gradients The three paintings in the gradients category are one radial gradient, and two linear gradients. The top linear gradient resupplies paint at less consistent points along the grid. The bottom linear gradient places it more consistently at the start of the row. The radial gradient focues on supplying the paint as it runs out.

Gradient Close-Ups 22

Paint Drops The three paint drop images focus on the grid the robot arm traveled to place dabs of paint. The top and right paintings travel in rows and columns, which are apparent in the directions of the image. The bottom right scatters the grid so the robotic arm travels randomly along the points, which is apparent in the scattered paint dabs.

Portraits The three portrait images use photoshop to play with color values. The program determines the heavy or light brush dab based on an image sampler value. All three images clearly demonstrate the clarity based on inverting color values. The top and right image are different paintings inverted, where the bottom is split inverted.

3D Scanned Head Shots These three images use a three dimensional scanning app. The app exports geometry into Rhinoceros 5 and that is contoured to create a grid to travel along. The three separate paintings test the consistency of the process. The translation from three dimensions to two dimensions is represented through levels of paint.

Robotic Arm Tool Research Project Team: Dylan Bush, Jason Hasko, and William Toohey III

This particular research project took place across two semesters. The first being a robotic tool development elective in a group of four. Our group developed a gripper for the robotic arm to prototype brick assemblies. All of the technical drawings and brick form development came from that particular elective. The second part of the research is part of my thesis research position as a section leader. I work in the fabrication lab as a section leader to develop research for future use. This position allowed me to extend this research to physical forms. I have scripted and coded the robotic arm for the gripper to respond using air pressure. This required extra physical hard code in the software and mechanics of the robotic arm. The image shown here and others of built forms are a result of testing the grasshopper scripts of brick wall designs.

The gripper respondes to air pressure turning on and off to operate the fingers. The technical drawings below illustrate tolerances, dimensions, and every attachment for the gripper. The various tests of forms include images of gradients, sine waves, towers, and closed geometries. These all test resolution, mathematic operations, physical height limits, and fully enclosed objects.

Facade Shading Prototype Project Team: Dylan Bush, Samuel Fernandes, and Caleb Hawkins This shading screen project is from a fabrication and rapid prototyping elective. The screen itself is derived from coplanar angles and perception of surfaces. The process went from 3D modeling to a CNC machine, then it was vacuum formed over using plastic, and finally it went back onto the CNC machine for post processesing the form. After the post processing on the CNC, there was more post processing using heat guns to fold flaps that serve as connection surfaces from cell to cell. There are three different size panels, and each flips onto another one to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cellâ&#x20AC;?. This cell is then aggregated into the full panelized form. The form itself reads shadows from the back piece of a cell onto the front piece of the cell. Each cell connects using customized pieces that were 3D printed, along with zip ties, and cable.

Concrete Chair Cast Prototype Project Partner: Dylan Bush The concrete casting prototype is from the same rapid prototyping elective as the shading screen. This project was to develop a concrete chair using less that a cubic foot of concrete. The goal was for the form-making to use the least amount of material possible. The form and geometry used was inspired from vaulting done by Rafael Guastavino. The form of the back rest has a draped-like quality over the vaulted surface. After form finding came the construction of the mold. The mold is made from two inch thick layers of foam milled out by the CNC machine. The mold is constructed with an outer layer and an inner key stone for the underside of the vaulted dome. Both of these put together gave the concrete pour four entrance points at the feet. The chair itself can support more than an average adult, and it was the project with the smallest volume of concrete used.

Wentworth Archtecture Review v/8 The Wentworth Architecture Review is a student run design publication that features student work from the design majors on campus. There is a yearly release part of the journal and each has a feature installation. The theme the installation followed was â&#x20AC;&#x153;colorâ&#x20AC;?. This system takes the students work and showcases its vibrance in an interactive way. Pedestals throughout the space live streamed people flipping through journals. These live stream recordings were distorted and projected using computer processesing. The processesing tracked color values moving from the user looking at the journal, and this was projected onto a fabric surface above. The tensioned surface acted as a formal canvas to abstract the color of students work.

Wentworth Archtecture Review v/7 The Wentworth Architecture Review is a student run design publication that features student work from the design majors on campus. There is a yearly release part of the journal and each has a feature installation. This installation is a representation of vector shapes towards the version seven and the logo for the next installation. The parameters of the design were to be modular with increased arrangement flexibility. Another parameter is the ability to flat-pack all of the pieces for easy transport since it was being used multiple times. The fabrication process went from modeling to the CNC machine, and back through the woodshop for sanding. The installation was featured throughout the space with different portions of the journal on display.

Illuminus Boston Illumination Boston is an art and technology expo held yearly in Boston, MA. The expo is meant for artists and designers to display light in unique ways. Robert Trumbour, a professor at Wentworth Institute of Technology, lead a design using fabric and motion sensor projections. A team of Wentworth students contributed in the fabrication and some design elements for the expo. I was a part of the fabrication, design team, and the team that put it together on site. The large fabric cone shaped lanterns receive different projection effects dependent on movement around the piece. People can walk in and outside of them to see the light from outside and within the volumes.

AIAS National Forum 2016 This is the second use of the installation from the previous page. This version was a stage set piece for the American Institute of Architects Students National Forum. In the Winter of 2016 it was held in Boston and being organized by our chapter at Wentworth. The committee sought out myself and a few other students from the Wentworth Architecture Review team to be the designers and fabricators. This vector geometry really orginated from the lhe forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo, as shown in the photo directly to the right. The installation definitely served multiple uses, and is now in the process of being transformed into model shelves for the department.

ABX “What’s In” 2016 Stantec runs the “What’s In” ABX installation competition yearly. In 2016 Kiki Archi won the competition and the fabrication of it took place at Stantec’s office. The committee from Stantec reached out to Wentworth for volunteers with fabrication experience, so over a two week period a few students went to the office to help. I was a part of those few students, and we were responsible for its fabrication and on site work. The designer of the installation was there to show the multiple pieces to the process, and from there we worked with the committee to assemble it. The whole installation consists of sheets of paper, paper tubes, and wood to support the canopy. Each individual unit is one folded piece of 24” by 36” paper with a paper tube cut to fit at the intersection point (as shown in the photo below). The installation was on display at the Boston Convention Center for the Architecture Boston Expo.

Scotland Political Center This individual studio project was for a Travel Studio my first semester of the Masters in Architecture program at Wentworth Institute of Technology. The project takes place right off of Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square in Glasgow, Scotland. It sits across from the City Chambers building and at the corner of the University of Strathclyde. The intersection of these two buildings programs, and the public of the square is the focus of the project. The narrative presented for the project was Scotland gaining its independence. This prompted me to make a formal political education center for the public and the students at the University of Strathclyde. The building is an educational center to have open discussions regarding political policy and structure. The open forum space is at the ground level where the facade opens to the street. The upper levels are study spaces, offices, classrooms, and conference rooms for the university and the public to learn from politicians.

The structure of the building is comprised of a concrete structural frame, with timber cells inserted into the frame. The concrete frame represents the heavy political entity of City Chambers, and the timber structure is the newly informed political atmosphere that comes with their indepedence. The exterior cells on the facade have three different purposes. There are group study spaces, offices, and independent study spaces. All of these provide students and the public to do work or research related to politics in some way.

BU Art Museum Design Project Team: Cory Cook, Rachel Giorgi, and Eleftheria Konstantinidis The Boston University Art Museum was an addition and renovation project displaying Mid-American art from the Jackson Polluck era. This project was an interdisciplinary project with four total members, including two architecture students and two interior design students. Our goal was to reuse what was given to us within the existing building, an automoble row building by Albert Kahn at 808 Commonwealth Avenue. Our team looked at expanding Albert Kahns goals and strategies about displaying items, whether they be art or automobiles. This semester was our comprehensive studio as well so each detail down to egress, electrical, power, and handicap codes were all to be documented in our final presentation. The project focuses on the connection of insertion and addition using galleries. The galleries have similar but different conditions, which were connected to one another using the existing car ramp as circulation.

The museum itself uses the existing condition to connect with the addition. The front show room with decorative columns and an elaborate ceiling grid became the focus. The gallery system walls we designed slipped into the show room using the column grid as natural boundaries of the space. They separated the interior gallery space from the exterior, while holding furniture to display outwards. These thick wall systems allowed ductwork, lighting, and structure to be hidden while giving depth as display spaces to also catch glimpses of the interior space. This exact system was used as the exterior wall of the new gallery in the addition. The grid system of that gallery diffused light into the space to avoid direct sunlight towards the furniture inset in the walls, as well as the paintings displayed horizontally in the center of the space.
