ABOUT + RESUME About Born in Pocatello, Idaho Stephanie has studied architecture at the University of Arizona since 2010. Her love and passion for architecture has intensified and developed over the years. She was lucky enough to have a childhood full of travels and experiences. Living in multiple cities, countries and cultures have allowed her to shape a respect for various types of architecture and the people that dwell amongst them. Architecture has the power to influence no one and everyone at the same time. When asked what she believes in, she says she believes in architecture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Design is not making beauty; beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration and love.â&#x20AC;? - Louis Kahn

ARCHITECTURE + TIME You cannot go back in time and you cannot go forward. You are stuck in the present. But your experiences stay with you and your hopes guide you through this life. What allows you to have sacred moments and the longing for more: TIME. Everything we do is in respect to time because without it you have nothing. You can have everything you want in the world but it can be taken away if you don’t have time. You can also have everything taken away from you but what you still have is time. It is when you don’t have time that you really have nothing. Architecture and time coincide together, two separate pieces of power- but one cannot work without the other. To have architecture you need time: time to think, time to design, time to construct, and time to inhabit-. Thus, it is through architecture that one can begin to wrap their minds around this phenomena of time. Architecture provides the opportunity to capture time, distill it down, and document it. Through the use of space and material people are able to feel a certain way, and these feelings provoke past experiences or memories and at that very moment people remember a certain time. The question can be then asked: does this mean we need to capture everyone’s special moments? The answer is no.

ARCHITECTURE & TIME

Time is moments, moments are done in spaces, and spaces are moments in time.

Through ordering of space, through the play of material and light, through context, and the framing of climatic seasons people will be able to understand just how sacred time is. A new art gallery in the Gastown District of Vancouver will be able to provide a place that allows viewers to be in the present, remember the past and visualize the future. It will be a space where age and accomplishments do not matter, where the young and the old are unified because for a brief moment they are one in the same; two people walking along a path in this abstract concept of time. -Stephanie Oleksa

Gastown is the site of the old Granville Townsite, and it is from this area that the City of Vancouver developed and grew. This District Schedule is designed to recognize the area’s special status and to ensure the maintenance of Gastown’s “turn of the century” historical and architectural character.

the dominant architectural choice

Conservation Levels: higher insulation and airtightness

Distribution of Solar Glazing: distributed throughout the building proportional to the heat loss f each zone

Orientation: optimum within 5 degrees of true south

Glazing Tilt: in winter

Number of glazing layers: 3-4 for severe climates, less otherwise

Night insulation and Low-E glazing: reduction of night heat losses

PASSIVE HEATING

GENERAL RULES 1

Prevent heat from getting into the building:

Get rid of unwanted heat that comes into the building

- use shading devices - create a cool microclimate to discourage heat buildup

- in cold and temperate climate, mainly via ventilative cooling

PASSIVE COOLING

DESIGN STRATEGY

Direct

- redu - redu - redu - redu

- cool the building by removing heat from the building by finding a heat sink - raise the comfort zone sufficiently to include the high indoor temperature by increasing the air velocity so that the comfort zone shifts to higher temperatures

Located in the historic of Makryianni district, the Museum stands less than 1,000 feet southeast of the Parthenon. The top-floor Parthenon Gallery offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Acropolis and modern Athens. The Museum is entered from the Dionysios Areopagitou pedestrian street, which links it to the Acropolis and other key archeological sites in Athens.

architecture is a companion of mankind through their journey of time -“archicture of time” is therefore composed of various and diverse ways of experiencing layers of time decision time:

chronology |noun| the arrangement of events or dates in the order of occurrence

This museum, on the bank of the Tiber River, has been designed as a renewed setting for the Ara Pacis, a sacrificial altar dating to 9 B.C. and now located on the western edge of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore. Planned as part of an effort to protect Rome’s cultural legacy, the new structure replaces the monument’s previous enclosure, which was in a state of advanced decay. The structure consists of a long, single-story glazed loggia elevated above a shallow podium providing a transparent barrier between the embankment of the Tiber and the existing circular perimeter of the mausoleum of Augustus, built circa 28 B.C.

When the sun strikes a surface at a particular moment in time it will not do so again until 24 hours from then.

as a nexus for interdisciplinary research and collaboration through the successful integration of the CAPLA and College of Fine Arts information (library) collections with a variety of meeting, study and work spaces. Set against the university backdrop of the sciences and the humanities, the goal of this project is to foster innovation via collaboration between the colleges of: Agriculture and Life Sciences, Eller, Engineering, Fine Arts, Humanities, CAPLA and the general public. Far more than a repository for books, it is the aspiration of the CIC that this new facility and its components be an architectural statement, promoting collegial integration and the dissemination of information through collaboration. To this end, the building itself is to be a demonstrative of the integration of architectural and technical systems.

STEELTOWER 3

Arc 422 Structures: Lateral Forces Project completed in a five person group

|4th Year Spring 2014| Tucson, Arizona

“T

he topic for this laboratory project sequence is lateral force. This structural condition is primarily generated by wind and seismic loads and is ubiquitous in the structural engineering of buildings and infrastructure. Beyond static mechanics, the engineering of tall buildings moves into the realm of dynamic mechanics. Dynamic structural design involves the dissipation of force through movement, elastic stability. Inhabitable structures are limited by the ability of their occupants to tolerate the frequency and displacement of this movement. The laboratory project requires students to iteratively design, fabricate and test a structural tower. The designs are to be considered full-scale performance based models that resist lateral forces. Materials are restricted to 1/8” diameter steel rod and 1/8” steel plate. Assembly is restricted to welding. The towers are to be eight feet tall and segmented into 8 12-inch tall layers. Each layer is to be defined by a steel plate, which acts as a rigid shear diaphragm transferring loads to the vertical structure.”

This design utilizes the diagrid structure to resist vertical forces as well as lateral and shear forces throughout the structure. The bays are cross braced to account for shear and lateral loads. The load is dissipated across more points (4,8) from the top of the tower to the base in congruence with the increasing vertical and lateral forces. The lowest three levels are further braced by horizontal members to prevent buckling due to increased compression stresses. The tower tapers in order to lower the center of mass to further resist lateral and shear loads, as well as economize the material. The symmetrical distribution inherent in triangulation allows the tower to more evenly dissipate the forces through movement, resisting torsion while maintaining a lower oscillation rate.

As the lateral forces are applied and the plates oscillate, the diagrid structure performs as shown translating from side to side. The bracing members in the center on the bottom 3 levels mainly prevent buckling stresses, but also oscillate from compression to tension depending on the bending of the tower.

Through The Years Originally we were striving for the stability and efficiency of the three hinged arch. Our first concept connected at one focal point concentrated at the center of the load applicator using a lock and key connection in hopes that the pieces would work together to transfer the force.

2-WAYTARANTULA 5

Arc 322 Structures: Two Way Span Laboratory Project completed in a three person group

|3rd Year Spring 2013| Tucson, Arizona

The design concept is a low compressive arch with individual members that connect together through a lock and key connection

Due to the parameters of the 2 way system load applicator, the form naturally formed a four hinged arch in order stabilize it and transfer the force over a greater surface area. This time the NO BUILD ZONE changed the force diagram once again.

to create a greater whole. Our first concept used the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no build zoneâ&#x20AC;? as the perimeter to most efficiently direct the forces in relation to our design concept, while still staying below the load applicator. The design failed due to flexure, because the low compressive arch, with predominant horizontal members, in fact had a force diagram relating closer to a beam connected to columns. The project failed due to flexure and its incapacity to withstand tension. The compressive members were very successful.

To keep the design intention of pure form and stability at the connection between members going each way, we kept the lock and key connection detail. Since the members succeeded with compression and failed with tension, we isolated the tensile stress out of the members creating the force diagram in which the tensile members are purely for tension, and the compressive members are predominantly for compression. We responded to the stresses, evident in the force diagrams, by adding grain direction specificity, rigid connections where these members meet, interlocking on the top and bottom of the members for stability and strength, and adding more material in response to moment and shear.

In order to clear the NO BUILD ZONE, the arch had to be elevated. In other words, it could be distilled down to a beam and column connection with a form bias upwards in order to successfully clear the NO BUILD ZONE and attempt to counteract flexure. The distribution of the compressive forces was successful.

The project failed due to tensile stress from flexure at the weakest point of the arch (which is subject to the maximum moment). There was not enough material to successfully counteract the flexure or shear in the members. Shear was even greater due to the discontinuity of force transfer in the members caused by the lock and key connection detail. Essentially, the force was just as great but the material was cut in half increasing shear and flexure.

In order to follow the design concept of a low compressive beam with qualities of an arch (form bias, compressive ability), the minimum angle was determined to be less than 45 . In order to VISIBLY and PHYSICALLY express this concept a formula was developed to determine the angle of the tensile force that would exert twice as much force in the horizontal compressive members compared to the vertical compressive members. Using Trig this angle was determined to be 26.56 .

The maximum force is transferred at the edges into the tension lines and then into the compressive members.

x = 2y

tan(O) = 1/2 arctan(1/2) =O O = 26.5

Given the lock and key connections at the center this corner condition is rigid to restrict rotation. More material was added around this connection to more successfully transfer the forces from each member and resist moment and shear.

FORCE DIAGRAMS

Since the horizontal vector is twice the force of the vertical, the member is twice the length and depth (3â&#x20AC;? depth) to resist buckling deformation from the force. The vertical members must be 1.5â&#x20AC;? to be half the force as stated. But due to the extension of height and added material at the connection, the member is designed to gradually transfer the load to its smallest dimension of 1â&#x20AC;? at the bearing surface. The formula gave us the angle and ratio to base our low compression arch off of that was then manipulated due to size parameters and design aesthetic. FORCE CALCULATION

Where this change occurs, there is a routed out channel to house the tension cable within the wooden compressive members. This is then reinforced with metal plates to resist moment while securing the members together.

VOIDURBAN FACTORY 6

Arc 301 Studio: Urban Agriculture Factory and Public Market Individual project

|3rd Year Fall 2012| Los Angeles, California

Void, an urban agriculture factory located in downtown Los Angeles, is at the front line of innovation. It aims to respond

to the rapid need for produce but the lack of space to keep up with this demand. Urban sprawl continues to take away farmland and the country is relying on imported goods, bringing along with it pollution and other environmental concerns. Through the use of an urban agriculture factory we are able to re-think how our food is grown, the planning and shaping of future cities and the landscapes that will be positively affected by condensing the space that is used for agriculture. This particular urban agriculture factory uses hydroponics. Through the use of hydroponics, a method of growing plants using nutrients in water and no soil, downtown Los Angeles will be able to mass produce and sufficiently supply fresh produce to everyone while minimizing its agriculture footprint. Hydroponics are being adopted around the world for food production for a multitude of reasons: no soil is needed, water stays in the system and is reusable, no nutrition pollution is released to environment, and no pesticide damage to the produce. Each fruit and vegetable needs natural sunlight but ranges in its daily sun hours. The amount of sun for each produce shaped the buildings form and height. level 21

Arc 322 Structures: Bird Observation Tower |3rd Year Spring 2013| Project completed in a three person group

Portland, Oregon

s an observation tower for all nature lovers, the goal of this project is to maximize the physical and visual experience of the landscape. The architectural concept behind this design is based upon the response to views, relative heights, solar exposure, and circulation. The trees of different heights, ranging from 10’ - 80’, offer different experiential views. The structures floors were offset in order to emphasize each particular view at a different height. I.E. the second floor projects towards the smaller trees that hover the ground and the third floor projects towards the larger Cottonwood trees, that immerse the viewer into the habitat. By offsetting the floors towards the south they provide shade from the harsh sun. The roof collects any rain water and directs it downwards towards the south where it is able to runoff into the river. The stairs ascend in the direction of the offsetting floors, continuing this language of projecting views and structure.

Ground Level: the points of the diagrid meet the ground and through a connection detail, the loads of the structure are transfered over a larger surface area. An alteration in the established diagrid frame is made at the entrance to allow a larger unobstructeed entrance

Floor Structures: the 2nd and 3rd floors are a modular grid system of 3” x 9” girders at 5’ o.c. interlaced with 3” x 3” beams at 2’ o.c. The floor loads are transfered to the girders which then transfer the loads into the diagrid structure

Roof Structure: the roof uses the same size beam and girders except the beams are 2’5” o.c. and the girders are 5’ o.c since the load is light and will directly be transfered into the diagrid strucuture at these intersections
