LIBRARY TWENTYONE PORTLAND, OR | FALL 2013 PUBLIC LIBRARY + SOCIAL SERVICES

Residents of the neighborhood have felt for a number of years that the importance of education and reading have been impaired by the inadequacy of the current library. Similarly, the lack of community meeting space and places for events have reduced the sociability of the neighborhood. An obligation to less advantaged people in the community also led to the realization that the library could be a source for some social services and occasionally to meet homeless needs. The site, which is 150’ x 200’, is at the corner of NW 21st and Lovejoy, a major crossing of two very important streets in the Northwest neighborhood. This library is a complex building with a number of functions required in the community. In addition to being a repository for a large collection of books, including a reference section and a large reading room for after school study, the library provides services somewhat unusual in community libraries. These include social services offices, a small number of short term homeless accommodations, community offices and meeting rooms, a large community room for general use and a preschool for children ages two to five.

VMC ATHLETIC & WELLNESS CENTER PORTLAND, OR | SPRING 2013 PUBLIC BATHHOUSE AND ATHLETIC CENTER Recognized as the only glass-walled International Style stadium of its time in the Pacific Northwest, the building was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places." Original plans called for a building made of wood, which is plentiful in the region, but cost and safety factors precluded that. Four large concrete columns carry the building's weight, which allows the walls to be made of glass panels. The lack of interior support gives spectators in a curved bowl a view of the outdoors. The war memorial consists of two black granite walls below ground level and near the main gate. The names of the dead are inscribed in gold paint, now faded with age. There are no dates given, only the names and an inscription: "To the memory of a supreme sacrifice we honor those who gave their lives for God, principle and love of country". The primary design concept of this aquatic and wellness center is a box within a box within a box. Each with their own thermal zones and inspired by a selfcontained ecosystem, utilizing natural daylight, water, and vegetation.

SOLOUVER | SOLAR CANOPY | SOLAR CONTAINER UNIT ATLANTA, GA | SPRING 2012 US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SUNSHOT INITIATIVE STUDIO As part of the US Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative, the Spring 2012 studio was able to be a part of a multi-disciplinary studio that was a first for Georgia Tech. This studio worked with mechanical engineering students, the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and Georgia Tech’s Center for Biologically Inspired Design (CBID). In addition to Georgia Tech resources, this studio also worked closely with industry partners such as Suniva, and Radiance Solar.

This studio focused on the development of architectural design strategies for the integration of next generation photovoltaic systems through four scales: extra small (playhouse), small (residential), medium (commercial), and large (urban/utility). Each one of these situations presented new and unique challenges with the ultimate goal of eventually making solar energy affordable and appealing to the public. Michael Fox, Tim Niou, Brittany Porter

System Description:

Designing residential systemsThis requires a good amount of custom work--where aesthetics usually outweighs economy and efficiency.

SOLAR CANOPY This is a system applied to the roof of a commercial building. It maintains the potential for occupying the roof with varying programs. The columns follow the building’s structural grid system. Each panel is structurally connected to adjacent panels either through the arm or the claw and is held together through tension wire. This system is composed of three main parts: the arm, the ‘claw’, and the panels. Each one has potential to be patentable. The combine to also create a patentable wire management system. The installation process is simple. The existing colum grid will be marked on top of the roof with a non structural tube footing. The structural columns will then be erected on top of those footings and supported by temporary scaffolding. The panels which come preassembled in the claw are placed into the arms on the ground before being lifted up by crane into place on top of the column. Once four columns have been put into place, the tension wire is then installed to stabilize the system.

SOLAR CONTAINER UNIT OBJECTIVES Given the task of designing a temporary installation of Photovoltaics (PV) at an urban/utility scale (one megawatt minimum) that can last for a year, a list of general design goals was generated: 1) No ground penetration, 2) Easy deployment and installation, 3) Easy disassembly and repackaging, 4) Transportable, and 5) Maintain usable space. UPCYCLED SHIPPING CONTAINERS Utilizing upcycled shipping containers will be able to achieve these goals. The containers can package, transport, deploy, and ballast the panels while also protect the electrical components and still have programmable space. Used shipping containers can be acquired at a relatively low cost depending on the condition--often times being at or below the raw price of steel. Their intermodal capabilities allow for convenient transportation globally by freight, trains, boats, and even planes.

OXFORD COLLEGE MEDIA & ARTS CENTER OXFORD, GA | FALL 2011 UNIVERSITY ANALOG AND DIGITAL ARTS BUILDING The concept that drives the design of the Oxford Arts Center stems from exploring the natural phenomenon of motion. Motion can be visually represented by a shifting or blurring of an object. With the advancement of technology and the foray into digital arts, a blur between analog and digital become more apparent. Two bar-shaped wings that are offset in both plan and elevation provide the form of the arts center. The wing on the ground houses the analog arts while the wing that is elevated contains the digital arts. The two wings are connected together by a central atrium that incorporates both studios main presentation spaces. The analog arts wing is a glass box while the digital arts wing is a metal-cladded solid box. The contrast in material between the two wings are then combined in the central atrium space--representing the blur between the wings and the arts.

BRIDGING - ADAPTABLE INTERACTIONS PORTLAND, OR | WINTER 2013 PLACE BRANDING OF URBAN SPACES Technology, media and small-scale unitized interventions provide a place for what the 2012 United States Pavilion for the Venice Biennale curators called Spontaneous Interventions. This project will provide a structure via the looseness of adaptive use of the intervention to allow public participation and the needs/wants of their culture to be supported by the built environment. This will be done supporting the various conditions of shelter, sitting, eating, heating, belongings storage, recharging station, wifi, etc but will also support community identity conditions of interaction, namely visible identity and bridging demographics. The project may consider how to acknowledge the new use of digital media tools including live information (arduino) and provide an interface for this to the public as a way of what Bruno Latour calls ‘attaching’ the architecture to the context of place as a means of architecture becoming alive and not static or as Bjork Ingles calls ‘petrified.’

THOREAU HOUSE SOLAR ATLANTA, GA | SPRING 2012 PLAYHOUSE SOLAR INSTALLATION

The Thoreau House project originally started out as a quick charrette to let the studio get some hands-on experience with designing and installing a solar panel on existing playhouses that were built by another class. Because of a delay in materials arriving, the charrette was turned into a mini-project for the teams to create working analogs of the more intricate ideas. This project provided an invaluable experience with digital fabrication technology including a 5-axis CNC router, a plasma cutter, drill presses, manual routers, so on and so forth. This particular design was based off a concept of a book or a briefcase where two panels are hinged along an edge or a spine, allowing for it to have an open setting and a closed setting. One of the primary affordance of this concept was to minimize the amount of roof penetrations necessary. During transportation and installation, the panels are in the closed position. Once installed into place, the panels are unfolded into the open position, creating a slight awning that.

JACMEL KLINIK MEDIKAL

JACMEL, HAITI | COMPETITION SUMMER 2013 GENERAL HEALTH CLINIC Much of this project revolves around building material and cost efficiencies. An effort has been made to reduce cost through using American materials, with reliable construction methods. All of the finishing materials, though, can be locally sourced in Jacmel, including the metal roofing and stucco work, showcasing local talent and giving the community a sense of ownership. Much of the building is so simplistic that it could be constructed with volunteer labor. Window openings may be ornamented with locally-sourced metal work. Close attention has been paid to massing and orientation, as the northern, cooler side opens up more than the hotter, southern side. A locally sourced bamboo screen at the west facade protects from harsh light and becomes a spatial defining element. Light interior finishes throughout brighten spaces, especially in times of potential power outages. The roof captures vast amounts of water, which is gathered in a rainwater catchment tank to the south of the main building, potentially in one of two shipping containers that have been used in transit.

Building materials are emptied from the shipping containers in Haiti, either at the port or on-site.

03

Building materials are shipped to the site via shipping containers, or can be divided up and shipped in smaller vehicles once in Jacmel.

04

Shipping containers can become a permanent part of the clinic. Here, they are lined up in a linear fashion (80’ long, the same length as the building) and they house the water catchment and battery bank, which stores energy harnessed by the rooftop solar panels.

alls will be constructed in Florida (potentially by American volunteer laborers) and shipped to Jacmel in two shipping containers. This approach utilizesything ever that is shipped, including the shipping container, minimizing waste.
