If architecture has a reliance on nature’s omnipotence, how can this be predicted and used to transform the architecture through its moments of tension at multiple scales? This question is being studied at the convergence of two inlets along the Chesapeake Bay. Questions being explored: How does a building touch the water ? What cultivates sense of place? How does a stair meet the water? What defines a threshold? How do two moments meet? How can small moments inform the whole? What makes a moment dynamic? How does something occupy and edge? How does a section change as water rises? Does architecture rely on nature’s omnipotence? 04

Site: Blacksburg, Virginia Program: School for the Performing Arts The theater and educational spaces sit in juxtaposition, differentiating their programmatic elements while also keeping the two in unison. This allows for a visual separation without compromising the proximity to one another. Both constructions step down with the site allowing for the outdoor amphitheater to be carved into the existing landscape. The curving elements help to emphasize the focus of gathering and encourage spaces of collaboration amongst the different disciplines. The interior hallways, adjacent to the outdoor colonnade allow for circulation from one end of the building to the other without compromising views. The rooms are efficiently situated to allow for close proximity for the students who will be carrying instruments. Through the use of material and form, this space encourages creativity and exploration. 10

Site: Blacksburg, Virginia Program: A portable cafe A series of pre-fabricated wooden panels transform the space by rotating on a central pivot. This mobile space opens up to a cafe intended for quick stops for people on the go. It sits within the maximum trailer dimensions, making it easily accessible for a vehicle to transport it from one location to the next.

Site: Blacksburg, Virginia Program: three architecture review rooms, a cafe, and gallery space to compliment the existing architecture school Steel structural members create a dense frame. The facade composed of perforated metal panels is articulated with the wide spanning columns. This idea is framed around the concept of the multiple layers of structure. The facade is achieved through the construction of metal angles which hold the exterior metal panels. The angles serve to prevent thermal bridging through the main structural components.

Site: Floyd, Virginia Program: Easily duplicable and affordable housing for low-income, single families The design is situated within a limiting perimeter and a need for replication of design four times within parameters. With all four sides of the site paralleled with a road, privacy was needed. The material juxtaposition helps to create privacy on the road side but open the design centrally to help create a sense of community. Each plan was limited to 1000 square feet. This design was developed in coordination with Habitat for Humanity.

Site: Christiansburg, Virginia Program: Maggie’s center for cancer patients Maggie’s centers offer practical and emotional support for people diagnosed with cancer. The angulated construction of roof imitates the tree canopy of the landscape of the site to create an inviting and open center for cancer patients to dwell.
