A Travelers Inn
Fall 2017 Instructor: Prof. James Warfield Individual Project The studio was designed such that it required selecting a UNESCO heritage site in either Australia, Greece, Japan or Mexico. The Travelers Inn would be placed in context of this UNESCO site and would facilitate accommodation for the Tourist accessing the UNESCO Site. The Proposed Site for Travelers Inn is located in Yakushima, Japan. The Design combined Japanese philisophies about architecture with spirituality. As the Island of Yakushima has a majority of the forested land under heritage zone, it was crucial for the design to be minimally invasive in terms of its placement on site. The Design aims at highlighting the connection between user and nature. The contrast between the crafted architecture and the natural tree lines creates a juxtaposition of two opposite yet philisopically harmonous concepts.

Design Conceptualization The Integrated Research Facility presented a challenge of combining research spaces of three distinct departments of the university in a common spatial aesthetic. The design ties together the research areas of the three departments with common spaces that promote transparency yet provide a sense of privacy and seclusion. The common spatial aesthetic was designed to encourage public interaction and provide physical and visual connectivity between the students and staff working in these departments.

LEED Strategy The LEED strategy is formulated based on the University's standards and requirements which suggest a LEED Silver certification as feasible but both LEED Gold and Silver options are provided in the proposal.
Water Efficiency
The structure includes a Green Roof to reduce stormwater runoff and heat-island effect. The strategy includes Energy Star label fixtures which will reduce water use up to 50%.
Energy and Atmosphere
The Energy usage is optimized by conducting wholebuilding energy simulations, check fixture efficiency, load reduction and HVAC related strategies such as chilled beam. The structure uses photovoltaic glass in the curtain wall system that generates energy.
Materials and Resources
During construction, comingled recycling strategies are used to recycle construction debris. A detailed assessment of the life-cycle impact of the materials used and strategies to implement reuse of recycled materials during construction are also included in the LEED strategy. In total, the structure achieves a LEED Gold rating with these strategies (66/110 points) and additional measures are suggested if the University shows interest in bagging a LEED Platinum rating.

Construction Scheduling The Construction strategy uses Top-Down construction methods, which removes 9-12 month duration from critical path which would have taken for constructing the parking garage using conventional techniques. Assuming the project breaks ground on 09th January 2019, the construction is expected to take 18 months. The setting and pouring the foundation for both the facility will take 6 month by using drilled shafts for both the foundation and structure of the parking garage. After the ground floor is completed, the schedule can proceed with the construction of structure and parking garage independently. After the completion of ground floor, the parking garage will require 39 weeks i.e. April 24th, 2020. The longer duration due to the tighter site conditions and time dedicated toward the undercutting of the ground floor slab. Since these activities are not on the critical path, it allows the schedule to be extended without any penalty. The Integrated research facility will be finished by June 19th, 2020 as shown by the project schedule.
Construction Schedule Timeline 18
Construction Management Seminar Fall 2018
Cost Estimation The base building cost for the structure, not including MEP or LEED, is $53,515,106. The total cost for the parking garage and foundation of the structure is $13,609,235. This cost is based on a finished structure with no MEP systems or LEED initiatives. When adding MEP systems to the structure the cost will increase by $16,054,531. By choosing full LEED initiatives including: a green roof, photovoltaic glass, among other things will induce a cost increase of $3,130,633. For permitting we have set aside 0.5% of our total project cost based on the RS means average which works out $363,501. The contractor markup is placed at 5% of the total project cost which works out to $3,635,013. The standard equipment will be for each laboratory for each department will cost $22,000,000. The entire project cost will be $98,698,787.22.

Construction Equipments and Methods Construction Management Elective Fall 2017 Instructor: Prof. Brent Young Individual Work The Class focuses on understanding the Logistical Planning for a construction site. The construction process is divided into six sections - Mobilization and Excavation, Foundation, Superstructure, Exterior Cladding, Envelope and Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing. The focus would be on understanding how a site is planned in each stage and to foresee the risks that each construction process would present. The class required analyzing one structure on campus in this case - Wassaja Hall. The Final logistical plan was to be made for this structure and the theoretical concepts were to be applied for the same. These plans would be represented three dimensionally with the necessary equipment.

Summary The Structure, located in Anchorage, AK in Zone 7, predominantly faces harsh winters. This causes extensive electrical loads on the heating systems of the structure. The envelope strategy involves reducing the loss of heat from the interior by using Triple pane glass with low-e coating +50% frit. In addition to this, the walls, floor and roof are provided with a rigid foam insulation of 4 inches and 7 inches respectively.
The Glazing system would be best executed in a unitized form due to its repeatable = R15.2ci nature and inclusion of vertical fins used as shading devices. = R35ci = 0.37 = 0.42

Kotatsu Table
Fall 2017 - Spring 2018 Instructor : Prof. Carl Lewis, Mr. Lowell Miller Individual Project A Kotatsu table is a traditional Japanese Table similar to a Center Table in the West. The table uses traditional japanese joints without glue or nails. The table top is made up of 5 pieces of walnut arranged in an interlocking fashion to create A Tatami mat like composition. The Legs of the table are connected to the primary spanning members, using a Tusked Tenon Mortise Joint. This joint uses a through tenon which is locked in place using a peg or a tusk. The other secondary spanning members connect to the primary ones with A Flushed Tenon Mortise Joint. The table top is connected using Tongue and Groove Joints and is kept in place using for square pegs in the center.
