F all 09 - Spring 14 | Trey Meyer
Over my educational studies and professional experience, I have been immersed in learning skill sets, both manually and digitally through projects done individually as well as collaboratively. In improving these skills, I have began to expand my ability to present ideas and process in clear, understandable architectural discourse. The following portfolio is a representation of the skills integrated with design process over my first four and a half years of academic learning and professional experiences.

Design Cubes Studio Foundations
WINTER 2009 | Hank Hildebrandt
In this exercise, planed, framed, and mass objects were articulated following a 16� x 16� cube with the a restriction of creating and advising to a rectilinear grid. I approached the problem with the
goal of creating spatial identities within the cube through placement of solid and void elements, while leading the eye around the design by articulating the grain of the wood and framing views.
Furniture Modular “Nook”
SPRING 2010 | Sean Cottengim
The Modular “Nook” was a collaborative project completed with the work and insights of eighteen students. The objective of the project was to create a unit of furniture that could be built in multiplication and arranged in a variety of orientations. I acted as a team leader, organizing group members and encouraging the flow of ideas into a colllective thought process. The group pursued an exploration of materials and joint conditions to form a furniture piece that could be situated from a variety of lounging experiences. The concept of the unit was to express the joinery of the materials, eliminating glue and exposing the physical connections. A contrast in color of materiality was chosen as an aesthetic to demonstrate the artistic bonding element of the furniture units.

The design for the Center for Literary Studies, a proposed library/writer’s retreat, includes an outline of activities and program promoting the study of reading and writing. The Center’s design is intended to encourage interaction between the two disciplines through a visual and experiential separation and reconnection.

The exploration of varying floor elevations, material properties, and grid analysis derived from the context of the site are integrated as ways to achieve the distinction in the design. Where the two disciplines meet is proposed to be a dynamic space interjecting inside the design as a meeting space, or a literal
connection of the two. The design strategy for a separation of the reading component from the writing component is executed in both plan and section, with the implementation of separation in form encouraging both the flow of circulation through the site along with creating public and private spaces.

Centralization Tectonic Exploration
WINTER 2011 | Conor Brady
An investigation and implementation of tectonic and spatial logics was carried out in this exploration. A focus was placed on the tectonic ideas of planes, frames, and masses and the joinery between these elements. The context of a city landscape acted as an armature to receive tectonically designed interventions. Along with the city context, a centralized spatial organizational matrix was given to act as a guideline. I saw this as an opportunity to create an open space to act as centralized exterior plaza, while subdividing peripheral progam to a varity of local hubs.

Initial Design Ideas
The studies of the historic site at Fort Ancient, home of the Native American Hopewell Culture, led to an exploration of the opportunities for the built environment to enhance the experience of an individual within a space. The Hopewell culture achieved this relationship to the context through the connection of built forms in the shapes of mounds, directly correlating and responding to the site through the natural elements of the land, sea, & sky. I took a similar approach in my proposal by creating a unique experience where the occupant could begin to grasp a language of natural vs. man-built interventions. This was done with a manipulation of organic vs. rigid structure and framing views, encouraging the connection between the user and the overall experience of the site. The program was separated into lodging, exhibit, and research spaces, with the structure of the intervention became an inviting expression of integrating structure, ventilation, and a vegitated roof into one system. 3D A x o n o m e t r i c S e c t i o n

The expectation for the project was to create a center to foster innovation and respond to the suburban context. My focus was to analyze and respond to the creative process through an exploitation of the suburban grid. The orthogonal grid of the existing site was interpreted to become a gradient of angles in which new opportunities of form and program were made available. The occupant was to begin to experience the break in the grid though out the built intervention in the building as well as the site. The overlapping and implementation of existing grids system derives a new identity within the design of juxtaposition and relationship to the context. The conceptualization of the from was a response to the suburban condition with the break in the grid representing a stimulation in creativity from the regular linear projection.

The proposal consists of a pair of towers depicting a convergence of Eastern and Western cultures through representational and symbolic qualities. The juxtaposition and wrapping between the two elements presents the synergy of today’s world. The design begins to symbolize the evolution and integration of two cultures through a single being of interaction. The tower symbolizing the East is organic and circular in form to speak to the fluidity and collectivity of the people, where as the Western tower is composed of rectilinear units to signify a more individualistic focus. A never ending journey is represented in the Eastern tower with structure that begins below ground and rising to a point leading further, while the Western tower contains a brighter color pallette along with a textural facade to symbolize a charachteristically loud culture.

I contributed, both in the schematic phase. The first design consisted of incorporating 80 living units within a strictly zoned historic context. The design attempted to create a solution by manipulating program between aboveground and underground in a Shingle-style architectural language. The second project was a 7,000 sf single family residence. The plans and elevations were generated from base ideas and photos presented by the client.

Design Ideation The Vertical Schism is a phrase coined by Rem Koolhaas as, “a systematic exploitation of the deliberate disconnection between stories� (Pg. 105 Delirious New York). The project proposes an interpretation of how this Schism may work through the exploration of circulation as a vertical street in order to respond to the contemporary urban condition. The first four floors, programmed as commercial spaces, act as a base to the armature of circulatory piers and additive units. The units are to be constructed in various scales with individual branding to accommodate the needs and program of the contemporary city. A dialogue is created within the master plan between public and private circulation: public meandering, private - direct. The form of both the base and tower encourage movement through the space with opportunites for pause.

ACSA Parametric Fabric Competition Fragmentation
1st Prize Recipient
SPRING 2013 | Professor Ming Tang BLVD Architects

“Parametric Fragmentation” studies the implementation of parametric thinking in design as a strategy for deriving a fluid form that exploits fabric material’s natural, free-flowing capabilities. The goal of the exercise is to create an adaptable system flexible enough to be
executed at a variety of scales (i.e.urban, building, & human scale). The project combines computer simulation with the human elements of identifying input data, followed by overlaying the resulting information to create a shattered/ fragmented aesthetic in both plan and elevation.
Langzhong City Master Plan
Line , Point, Plane Simulation The info-graphic to the left relates the process of generating a template to be used as a form driver on any given site. Ideal circulatzory paths were merged together through a Newton attractive force simulation before being segmented into points, or social hubs, along the paths. These points were then used to create a fragmented surface using the Rhino+GH tool, Voronoi. The system of Voronoi’s fragmentation is affordable to be used in urban planning, site development, and facade treatment. The system was then applied to foster innovative strategies for fabric in architecture. I identified two uses of fabric: fabric for living and fabric for monument.

Zo n i n g T y p e
In the project, two key uses of fabric are identified: ETFE foil panels as a fabric for living and PVC canopies as a fabric for monument. The adaptable system is implemented on two pilot sites, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Langzhong, China, both being located between an urban environment and a body of water. The Langzhong site was derived as a fragmented unit of an overall city master plan created with the same system. A parameter for deriving the form was to elevate the section of a secondary fragment generated by the simulation to create privacy for guests while enhancing the context by allowing pedestrian traffic to flow uninterrupted below the volume.

dFORMNiehoff COMPETITION Studio: Helix
SPRING 2013 | Participants: Luke Erickson Trey Meyer
The goal of the competition was to modify an existing multi-functional space with digitally designed assemblies. These assemblies of partition or suspended ceiling systems were to be parametrically designed for optimal construction and acoustical performance. Our team’s solution was the HELIX partition; an operable screen assembly comprised of rotating fins, acoustic pin-up panels, and optional laser cut screen covers. The fins can interlock to form a continuous screen or fold away for individual panels. The fins and pin up capabilities address the flexibility of the space, while the folding action also allows for easier and more compact storage. The wooden modular system requires no adhesive for construction and can deconstruct easily.

AIA C ompetition Oculus and Alter
SPRING 2013 | Participants Charles Wiederhold Trey Meyer
The concept of “Oculus and Alter” was a collaborative investigation to the competition held by the American Institute of Architects - Ohio Chapter. The AIA competition was executed under a strict 48 hour time limit. The program called for an ‘Architectural Congress of Ohio Pavilion’, in which the opportunity of creating an interactive design studio could be explored to showcase designer’s work to the surrounding neighborhood. The design made the gesture of promoting community involvement through an extended roof plaza coupled with the introduction of thoroughfares through and around the built intervention opening to the street corner. The oculus creates a ceremony to the underlying dynamic work station, labeled the alter. “Designers often tip toe the lines of contrasting ideas. Exploring the realms of private and public, reverence, and mockery, rite, and spontenaity, a pavilion emerges, celebrating the ironic position of the Architect archetype.”

BUT UNSEEN, BEHIND A FACADE, WELCOMING
A critical analysis of the notion of house and the emotions, experiences, and construction of a home. In helping these investigations, visual representations of the poem “A House by the Side of the Road”, written by Sam Walter Foss, were created. These creations led to the idea of thinking about moments in time while traveling along a path. In this moment a neighbor can experience an acceptance into the comfort zone that defines a home.
FALL 2013 | Dustin Albright Ufuk Ersoy
The design for the Haiku House was an exploration of Two working systems: Folded Elements responding to site factors & Juxtaposed Private and Public spaces. The plan organization plays on the notion of house and the varying scales of privacy from the oommunity to family level. The house was then used in Clemson University’s Solar Decathlon research proposal.

Precast Investigations Framing Sustainable Transportation
WINTER 2011 | Carlos Barrios Dan Harding
The precast system is implemented between two sites along the Amtrak rail line in Clemson, SC. The two sites depict two interpretations of the same system: an open, green rural oriented system and a fragmentezdustrial urban oriented system. The master plan of the project includes a ‘greenway’ path which acts a connecting corridor between the two sites. Along this path, the sytem begins to morph and adapt to imitate its changing surroundings.
