BUILDING, LEARNING, REMEMBERING This summer I plan on attending the thirty year reunion of my graduating class from architecture school at the University of Cincinnati. In anticipation, I’ve been wandering through my memories of that unique time in my life and the very familiar building where I began my career as an architect. In my mind I’ve visited all the studios, classrooms, jury spaces and the library. I’ve spent time on the student-made basketball court and the lawn where volleyball and kegs of beer appeared every Friday afternoon. The faces, voices and and distinct. In great detail I can describe the many models, the many drawings, and the many sunrises. As with most students, the exact words of faculty during particular reviews are carved deep and permanent. I remember late night conversations with janitors, who leaned on their brooms and shared memories of Viet Nam for hours with a mesmerized audience of 18 year olds, easily distracted from their models and drawings. The images are clear, the stories come quickly and the spaces are easily visualized. But there is one place that appears unclear, fuzzy and ill 3
In contrast—and with great pride—I can safely say this is not the case for any Penn State student who has studied here over the past 25 years. Whether in the old Engineering Units or the new Stuckeman Building, our shop and building yard are an intimate part of every student’s experience, beginning immediately in First Year.

Over 25 years, the projects have been widely varied in scope, scale, budget, function and site; however, the fundamental objectives of the program have always remained the same: • To have students experience the entire architectural process from concept to realization; • To experience the implications of their designs at full scale; • To develop skills of craftsmanship, construction and detailing; • To learn to collaborate and cooperate within a design team; and • To confront the challenges of very real constraints such as budget, schedule, codes, clients, users, and the approval of governing municipalities and the 5

of each group’s project. All nine structures were united by the theme of Aedicula, or small buildings; but as expected, the students took that concept in a rich variety of directions. We built a rammed earth kiln, a tensegrity treehouse, and a playful perch high above a dramatic landscape of tubular steps. We had a large cube enclosing two benches, a playful collection of interactive cubes, a trio of slatted lounge chairs and two small tool sheds made entirely from reclaimed materials. In addition, this booklet also includes the design-build exercise that preceded Campus Constructions, in which each student individually creates a small scale piece as a warm-up to the larger, group projects.

requirement of 3 feet x 8 feet x 6 inches was strictly shared by all, yet the wonderful variations of concept, character and construction are compelling. Together, the projects assembled to create a provocative corridor that led from one end of studio to the other. This portfolio of projects demonstrates that a Penn State architecture student is no stranger to the art and craft of building. Our goal is that these lessons will not be forgotten and will form a lasting impression throughout our students’ careers. It is my hope that when Penn State Students attend their 30 year reunion, unlike my experience, the activity of working together to build something beautiful, something provocative, something real, will be a crystal clear image in their memories of Penn State.

LEAVE YOUR MARK design is intended to motivate. In addition to the impression pegs, the wall features three prompts on a speaking graphic, a thinking bubble, and an action sign. A person can leave their physical mark on the wall with the pegs, initiate and respond to the prompts, and potentially motivate others to reciprocate.

CONTRAPTION No one truly knows what’s happening on the ‘other side.’ Inspired by Rube Goldberg’s devices, a person initiates a series of interactive contraptions, some of which are not visible to the other side, to transport a ball in duplicitous and extraneous ways. The wall is meant to inspire curiosity and wonderment.

ANONYMOUS INTERACTIONS This wall fragment originates from the idea of invading space considered safe, restful or comfortable. Approaching the the body, to lounge, and to be at rest: a seat, back rest, containing storage compartments, revealed only through minimal access openings. As the storage compartments are accessed, the comfort on the other side is ripped away. From the side of rest, the hidden storage areas are concealed with no point of access and the contents of the volumes are unknown. Meaningful interaction occurs without awareness of the interaction itself.

A WALL FOR “THE KISS” Intended to provide the backdrop for a print of Klimt’s “The Kiss,” this project is inspired by the dense weaving of color,
entire painting is like a rich textile of pattern and texture. Using ‘weaving’ as a point of departure, the wall surface is a tapestry and the wall is the loom that created it. Rather than being a wall made by tools, the wall is the tool that makes itself.

A WALL FOR “THE BURIAL OF THE COUNT OF ORGAZ� In this painting, El Greco breaks from traditional notions Instead, there is no space, there is no sky, no ground, no entwines together in a dense assemblage of expressive, curvilinear forms. Similarly, this wall is a dense assemblage sizes and shapes. One side of the wall is a dramatic basketlike tapestry of gently curved pieces, each one made of thin delicate strips laminated together and shaped in a variety of jigs. The other side is also tapestry-like, but more akin to a not only the framed reproduction of the El Greco but also the jigs used to build the opposite side.

TREESEGRITY Treesegrity provides a tectonic interpretation of the experience of tree climbing in order to reconnect people with nature and encourage sustainable thinking. Each part the tree; being within the canopy; and gazing out above the treetops. The six-legged tensegrity tower base provides a gentle sway while the canopy’s arabesques recall branches and leaves. An access ladder brings the visitor to just above horizon.

FIGURE AND FIELD Figure and Field comprises two complementary projects that create a stimulating, fun and safe space of play. The Landscape is a grid of cylindrical modules of varying heights rising from the ground to form a playful ground plane for climbing, resting and exploring. It comprises 15" diameter tubes, structured with plywood frames, and a top layer of mulch, wood chip, and stones, to form a variegated climbing surface. The Perch rises above, anchored down with concrete footings in the tubes below. It is a four-square plan, and one square cantilevers above as a second level. The structure comprises a wood frame and plywood cladding with openings providing a variety of views and interactions.
Together the two create a spatial experience emphasizing playful exploration through ascent and descent.

TWO SHEDS Architecture historian Nicolas Pevsner famously wrote that not. This project attempts to prove Pevsner wrong. This project is an experiment to create structures made out of scrap pieces of wood. Conventional building elements such as studs, sheathing, doors and windows are hand crafted from repurposed materials, rather than purchased at a store or lumberyard. While the form resembles a conventional backyard shed, close examination reveals a rich and complex world of material, color, texture, craft. The transportation and assembly/disassembly. Shed #1 is a tool shed for conventional yard and garden tools. Shed #2 is a greenhouse shed made of reclaimed window sashes that might preserve sensitive plants through the winter months. Together, like fraternal twins, that share similar qualities yet in a dialogue about material reuse and design.
