ABOUT ME
TYLER DINIS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER
CONTACT ME
My passion for design began at a young age when I started drawing cartoon characters and discovered a connection between my imagination and a pencil. The skill for drawing translates directly to my projects where the design always begins. I am a determined individual that is experienced in many professional drafting applications including architecture and engineering.

OBSOLETE ? WORK CULTURE IN THE SECOND MACHINE AGE
T
his thesis begins at the intersection of architecture, technology and sociology. It is a speculative response to the future of work culture in the next 20-30 years when artificial intelligence (A.I.) and robotics will begin to automate more cognitive jobs. Our digital economy will soon combine with an emerging Second Machine Age to create a new crowdbased Capitalism where micro-entrepreneurship changes society’s model of earning a living.
accommodate various modes of work for a highly advanced and adaptable workforce. The solution was to design an automated system that would deliver temporary workstation modules for individuals to come and go as they pleased. The use of modules allowed for the unconventional mix of program such as desk space and small-scale fabrication in the same vicinity.
Influenced from the project New Babylon by Constant Nieuwenhuys, this project sought to investigate future workspaces for entrepreneurs, freelance workers and startups. These work environments would need to be temporary and UNDERGRADUATE THESIS | 5

Long Beach
Adaptive Reuse + Development
LOOKING SOUTHWEST
The site is located in Long Beach, CA at the corner of Long Beach Blvd. and Broadway. At the beginning of the project, the intent was to proposed an adaptive reuse of an existing building to be the seed of a new workforce. An additional development for advanced modes of work would then be developed alongside the existing building. UNDERGRADUATE THESIS | 6
As the project progressed, it became apparent that the automated systems were critical to understand more clearly. This lead the focus of design to the additional development and away from the initial existing building.

OBSERVING AUTOMATION
ANIMATION MODULE SELECTION / DELIVERY
The system of modules, tracks and delivery became an important element of the project that needed special representation. An animation was used to illustrate the process by which users interact with the automated systems within the building. The animation was also able to show the process in full from users ordering a desired module to the point at which it could UNDERGRADUATE THESIS | 12
be used. The feasibility of the system can also be better understood this way.

LOBBY SCREEN The lobby includes screens
where users select the module they would like to check out. Here they can wait either indoor or outdoor and watch as their selection is delivered through the distribution tower.
SHARED WORKSTATION Designed as a 2 person workstation with an optional privacy divider between the two desks. Each desk space is equipped with lighting, power and temporary storage. A module may be reserved for anywhere from a day to a week at a time.
FABRICATION MODULE #2 Designed as a 2 person workstation with an optional privacy divider between the two desks. Each desk space is equipped with lighting, power and temporary storage. A module may be reserved for anywhere from a day to a week at a time.

DISTRIBUTION CAP A distribution cap was developed to pick up modules via a dual-arm lift. Many of these caps exist throughout the track system to pick up and delivery modules at any time.
DISTRIBUTION TOWER The tower is a central element in this project. It handles all automated deliveries of modules large and small. Glass on either side makes it a focal point for users to observe the delivery process both inside and outside the building.
MODULE DELIVERY Automatic railing folds down, illuminating a red warning strip to allow pickup and delivery of modules. Here the workstation unpacks itself and becomes ready for use.

MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT INTRINSIC VENTURES MACKENZIE INTEGRATED DESIGN
N
ewschool of Architecture & Design's 4th Year Studio teamed up the City of Portland, Integrated Design firm Mackenzie Inc. and real estate company Intrinsic Ventures to revitalize a rapidly-growing neighborhood in the Central Eastside industrial district of Portland, OR. The Ford district is defined by the old Ford factory that speaks of history, but also strives for an integrated future. The concept for this project was to mimic an ecosystem of organic and non-organic components cohabiting and working together. This project seeks to capture the living components of the Ford District and merge them with the site’s nonliving surroundings to create a complete ecosystem that provides life to an
otherwise inactive site. By opening the site in a diagonal fashion, the building orients itself towards the historic Ford building but also towards downtown Portland across the river. There is a variety of program including a grocery store, creative offices, commercial shops, brewery, restaurant, and townhouses. An established ecosystem within the site serves both the public and residents living in the townhouses above.

ecosystem. Within the overall boundary of the site exists multiple ecosystems represented as bubbles, each connected to the bigger picture and the whole site through a series of arrows.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN
The original site included a bike shop that was planned to be demolished by the owner and developer. The existing building at the Southwest of the site was originally a bakery that was converted to a grocery store to serve the purpose of this project. At the ground floor, all programs are available to the public. The orientation of certain programs

was decided based on surrounding context. Another feature evident in the design is the developers wish for “corner activation”. This meant each corner of the site could be celebrated or used in an inviting and public way.

ECOLOGICAL SPEC. RESIDENCE TRANSPORTATION THROUGH EROSION
T
he ‘Ecological Spec Residence’ project is an exploration of residential sustainable design principles in order to utilize a design that would maximize economy, ecology, and equity. Sustainable design is not just the idea of generating energy in new and creative ways, but also the idea to reduce the carbon footprint of a building with the most simple solutions.
Inspiration for the initial project concept came from the process of erosion that formed Switzer Canyon which was the site location.
The study began by imagining a family that would live in this residence. A family of four was imagined that consisted of a husband, wife and their two children. The man is a lawyer in the busy city of downtown San Diego while the woman is a stayat-home mom who enjoys baking in her spare time. ECOLOGICAL RESIDENCE | 29
HILLSIDE BUILDING Since the project was located on the side of a hill in Switzer Canyon, an investigation into hillside building methods was needed. This was valuable to understanding the type of building that was possible and structure required.
