designBridge Small Farmers Project, Eugene, OR Team Beacon is tasked with building a structure for a farming collective. The explicit program involving a tractor shed, a cooler for stored berries, a selling stand and a washing area, including tool and general storage throughout. Implicitly a part of the program is a need for the families to meet as a group, a place where they may work, a place where they may just gather on a hot summer day.

The kicker to all of this is that the structure needs to be completely deconstruct able and moveable! Due to the fact that the land the farm is located on is leased, in just a few years the Small Farmers Project may have to move to a new location. Because of this every decision we make must keep in mind: how easily can this construction be understood, deconstructed and built again.

Three 3-week long projects. Portland, OR Summer 2010 1) University of Portland Retreat Center, 2) Willamette Fall Interpretave Center, 3) Eastbank Boat House

During this studio, we had three unique sites that are located near school but they were places that not many people had visited before. One thing in common among the three sites was that they all had very close relationship with water and surrounding nature.

First site was on a hill with a view to the Willamette River and the second site was at a fall where hydrau-

lic power plant was installed first in the U.S. and the last site was on a riverbank where people usually don’t go but has the best view of the city.

Only media that was allowed was charcoal and 3’x2’ newsprint pad. Hard line drafting was highly discouraged.

Lyceum Competition 2009 Abuja Int’l Community Centre, Abuja, Nigeria Abuja is one of the most important city in Africa. Abuja serves not only Nigeria but also the entire continent with many different offices and people. With Nigeria’s rich culture that is cultivated over time and with people from all around the world with diverse cultural backgrounds, the community center accommodates everyone and have a good time. Things I learned during this project was about African and Nigeria and how different part of the world have different resources and

it was a reassurance about how traditional architecture works the best to its climate and lifestyle.

The building footprint is minimal since Abuja’s weather is not harsh at all and people can have activities outside all year long. However, Abuja has dry season and rainy season and need protection in order to be outside. As a solution, I placed a protective structure that can also be a play structure and encourage gathering and interaction .

We did the initial drafting on site using triangulation and a reservoir water level for accuracy.

When we returned to the school in Otaneimi, we completed the detailed drawings and a model in the woodshop. Jim Tice joined us from Helsinki, instructing us in the watercolor. The finished drawings are archived at the University as part of their collection of Finnish vernacular buildings documented by past students.

LUMINAIRE DESIGNS

Night Sky over Ocean Waves inspired by Finnish Sailors Jennifer Butler

Goen Kim

Curves on surfaces allow maximum reflection and also reduces glare and leads the lighting fixture to become a luminaire, not a toy.

Inspiration

Many years ago, a crew of sailors left home to travel the world by

sea. On their journey they confronted danger when a violent storm bombarded their ship. The sailors feared for their lives and looked up into the twinkling night sky to pray for God’s mercy. The storm smashed the boat into a nearby island and the sailors were marooned. Once again they prayed for God to help them and to bring them back home; in return the sailors would build a church for the abandoned island. Their prayers were answered and a group of sailors came to the island and rescued the crew.

They were taken to the safety and comfort of their homes but the crew did not want to break their promise to God. The following day the sailors gathered supplies and sailed back to the abandoned island. They built a wonderful church on the island which was lit with a system of elegant luminaires. The luninaires were symbolic of the fierce storm that stranded the sailors on the island. The first luminaire (“Night Sky”) was to resemble the night sky with its twinkling stars. The luminaire cast an ambient glow over the church. The second light (“Reflection of the Waves”) was infused with the pews of the church. These lights shed waves of directional light on the hymnals and bibles that rested below on stands that protruded from the pews. The men doubted that they would ever again face a hardship as troubling as being marooned on that island. However, they now knew that if they did, they could always place faith in God and God would reward that faith and bring the men to safety and into His light.

Total luminous power (lm): 6 pieces of wide angle = 2400 lm Luminous emittance (E) = φ / A = 2400 lm / 0.50 = 4800 lx

Brightness (L) = (ρ * E)/ π = [0.7 (matt white reflectance) * 4800 * s ≈ 1000 cd/m2 ---> AMBIENT LIGHTING!
