“Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship with life. I do not think of it primarily as either a message or a symbol, but as an envelope and background for life which goes on in and around it, a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps on the floor, for the concentration of work, for the silence of sleep.�

The Hive

Intelligent Skin College Co-op Time: 9 Weeks Design began with a site study, which revealed the overall negative presence of the site to its surroundings. Initial decision was made to open circulation on the South of the site, and to allow light to access the builidng to the North. The site had problems with both noise and views, which resulted in an encompassing building which would be directed inward rather than out. Study began and was carried through the entire design process through the use of physical models, human observation, and digital programs. Vasari, Climate Consultant, Ecotect, Daysim, and Radiance were all used via a BIM model which allowed for detailed information in the design process. A component was created to negate summer heat, while capturing solar gain in the cooler months; all while allowing for full daylight of every space. A multi-zoned structure grew out of further study and analysis, the primary layer was protected yet unconditioned, while the program itself was contained within conditioned zones made heavily of a boardform concrete which allowed for large amounts of thermal storage in the winter. Due to the layering of zones, a majority of the site remains a fully public space, accessable and comfortable year-round. The layering allowed this public zone to be used as a buffer, lowering the total costs of conditioning during harsh conditions drastically. Mechanization was chosen for the operation of the components which resulted in a system that is fully automated depending on climatic conditions, while still allowing an over-ride option through manual programming if necessary. Programming of space was chosen by the amount of light available, and in the normal responsive state, 100% of program is able to be daylit.

University Campus/Auditorium Design Through Architectonics Adaptation and revision to existing site context while allowing tectonic conditions to drive the establishment of form


15 16


College Campus/Auditorium

Architectonics

Construction methods

Time: 8 Weeks The project began as an abstracted plan drawing, which was used to generate a three dimensional site mapping. This site model was then used as an armature, allowing for the existing conditions to be built upon in the creation of a college campus. Fragments were made which represented buildings that combined with the existing context in the creation of a more detailed program. The fragments were made using three major tectonic principles, frame, plane, and mass. After general design of the entire campus was created, the focus was directed towards the auditorium space, which was then elaborated upon.

Dado

Dovetail

Half-Lap

Tounge-and-Groove

Mortise-and-Tenon

Frame: an extrusion in a single dimension, strong when used in numbers

Plane: an extrusion in two dimensions, stable when supported

Mass: an extrusion in three dimensions, structurally sound enough to stand alone

Construction of the armature and fragment were done without the use of bonding material by the utilization of dado, dovetail, half-lap, tongue and groove, mortise and tenon, and rabbet joints.

Rabbet

The fragment is an addition to the armature. A singular heavy mass, which serves as the major support, holds up horizontal planes, creating the occupiable ground. The secondary structure is created by the use of frequent tensile framework, which spans both horizontally and vertically.


Grey boxes signify existing context, while linework, black and orange are added to unify space

17 18


The armature is an abstracted representation of existing urban conditions which was used in the creation of a college campus.

The fragment connects to the existing structure creating sectional changes, exterior space, additional interior space, and additional circulation.


All of the constructed space is accessable from both the exterior and interior, whether as an accessable roof, or as an overhead condition. The mass serves as a beacon; elevated above all other new construction, it signifies the addition, creates exclusive space, and begins to create a major central courtyard.

19 20


Extending the Fragment Using the same design ideas as with the original fragment piece, the campus is created as a series of buildings which are linked through a system of skyways. The skyways themselves serve as circulation, while in some places expanding to become public space, classrooms, and allowing for accessible roof space. The skyways are integrated with new structures, while binding to existing buildings. This creates a cohesion of the campus, allowing for complete interior circulation.


Completed Campus Design

21 22


Auditorium Interior

Louvers Open 3 p.m.

Louvers Partially Closed 3 p.m.


The structure was designed as a series of layers, each system increasing in aggregate while decreasing in density. Layer 1 - Solid “C� wraps floor, back wall, and ceiling Layer 2 - Heavy vertical components are on the foremost interior space Layer 3 - Delicate vertical components surround the heavy components Layer 4 - Translucent layer encloses the delicate components Layer 5 - Space is held on the exterior, separate from the public realm

Layer 1- Reinforced concrete creates the back wall and roof Layer 2 - Steel beams wrapped in concrete create the structural support Layer 3 - Wooden operable louvers create visibility skin Layer 4 - High-e glazing is used to enclose the space Layer 5 - Low-e glazing is used to support the envelope glazing Layer 6 - Seating space is created between support glazing The Result: During daytime hours, the roof appears to be hovering above the ground due to the high-e glazing reflecting views rather than allowing sight in. Due to the contrast of the iron content in the envelope to support glazing, private space is created without distracting from the design intent.

Operable louvers are used in order to change light quality of the space depending on use requirements. 1) Full daylighting is possible with louver system entirely open 2) Partial lighting is possible with louver system irregularly open 3) Darkened space is created by closing operable louver system

Louvers Closed 3 p.m.

23 24


Design and construction techniques are carried through from the campus in the establishment of both structure and form.

Construction technique was studied through model, foundation and floor poured first, columns placed second, followed by the concrete wrap, finishing with the installation of glazing and louver systems.


The exterior of the building is celebrated as an expansion of space rather than a wall. The bench which wraps the entire structure, creates private occupiable space within the public courtyard.

Kern Park Montessori Educational

and Recreational Facility

Retrofit of public space to create a private school while enhancing year-round public use

29 30


Kern Park Montessori Educational and Recreational Facility Time: 9 Weeks Before design began a large amount of study was made into existing site. Existing programmatic use and environmental statistics have a large influence on design decisions throughout the project. The general location on the site was chosen which lies at a juncture between the city influenced, and natural region of the park. The specific footprint was decided upon due to part of the park being currently unavailable for inhabitation due to its steep slope, lack of trees, and overgrowth of shrubs. Once location was chosen, building orientation was developed through use of solar, wind, and topographical studies. The final design inhabits the park in a way that three major outdoor conditions are created: the first as a recollection of the city, a large area of constructed ground, which allows for gathering space before and during school hours, the second outdoor space is atop the burrowed gymnasium, which acts as a courtyard garden, allowing for the growth of vegetation natural to the area, while the last space acts as an occupyable roof, which exists at the same level as the surrounding treetops, elevating it above the planes of both park and city.

Sectional analysis had a large impact on design. Spaces were created that span multiple heights, and allow for constant connections to the outdoors.

Space was classified depending on type. The gymnasium is rooted in the earth while library and classrooms are elevated in order to allow for higher amounts of daylight and greater ascess to views

Approach to the school was studied for the average amount of daylight available during the morning and evening up to an hour before, and an hour after school would let out. Additional exterior lighting is not necessary, as excess light from the classrooms allows for adequate wayfinding.

Cascading down the hill towards the river, emphasis was placed on a subtle imposition to the site, as to not overpower the natural conditions of the park.

Olmsted Visitor Center

Public Park Facility

Time: 5 Weeks The visitor center based atop the hill in Lake Park, Milwaukee is a community center devoted to the designs and memory of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The design is derived from three major principles within Olmsted’s designs. 1) The use of winding paths, both to break up the park as well giving it a natural, larger feeling. 2) The separation from city context 3) The creation of public spaces and courtyards which vary in size throughout the program.

The courtyard, retaining wall, and overhang all lie on the same curve, allowing for a subconscious appeal to the eye, with the intent to soften the angle of the building, as well as referencing back to the so often used meandering design of Olmstead

Nestled in the hill, the stone on the lower part of the building represents the level at which the hill was at prior to excavation. Soil removed in order to create the courtyard was relocated on the site, creating a more subtle descent than had previously existed; both improving the site and allowing for a zero-sum game.

Sailing Center

Mixed Use

Time: 4 Weeks Built upon a major junction between Lake Michigan, and Milwaukee’s Inner Harbor, construction of a sailing center allows for the union of three major contrasting aspects of the site. 1) Land and water are united, embracing both elements from all points on the site. 2) Public and private are both embraced; by placing the more private sailing center at the edge of the site, a large public outdoor space is created. 3) Indoor and outdoor are united through inhabitation, circulation, and views. The boundary between exterior and interior fades away in an attempt to create ambiguity between the two environments. Site and structure are thought of as one single component, with the cascading of the building also occurring in the site. This is done to enhance the experience of the site both aesthetically and functionally.

The site is at an ideal location at the hub between the lake and inner harbor

No direct major roadway access, however, Hoan bridge creates a boating gateway to the harbor

View directly out towards lake is ideal, while views of adjacencies are far less desirable

Green space is scarce, and of low quality in the neighborhoods around the site

Piers and docks are readily available surrounding the site

Harbor depth and breadth allows for more useable water in the immediate vicinity of the site + more boating traffic is available + larger vessels have access to the site + ease of material and good transportation to and from the site

Green roofs cascade towards the lake, reducing impact on the site, and improving views


Views are directed with use of vegetation and structure to create framing, as well as through the strategic placement of spaces.

All interior materials were adopted from boat interiors, a combination of hardwood with white gypsum imitates the hardwood-leather combination on the interior of most sailboats.

Textile Gallery

Infill Site

Time: 4 Weeks The textile gallery is located on a narrow lot, which allowed for a fluid linear pattern of circulation to run through the space. A dropped ceiling accesses northern light, while larger vertical windows enable views without allowing damaging light to enter the space. An occupiable window is extruded upward and out in order to create a viewing/performing space directed towards the exterior. This welcomes the busy street into the building while the rest of the facade is tucked back slightly in order to create a more private sheltered entrance.

A large double height space is centered in the gallery which allows light to diffuse through the floors evenly. Vertical exhibition walls are hung through the double height space, mimicking the nature of the textiles themselves.

A double-stairway runs parallel with the hung walls, creating an open plan, in which the art can be experienced as one ascends the gallery.

During daylighting hours, sunlight accomodates for over seventy five percent of lighting needs. accomodates for over seventy five percent of lighting needs.

Winter

During winter the building’s systems transition to a primarily heating function. The heating system system works by taking air circulated into the building from the north, and within the circulation system it travels down to the central heating. The air is then heated and through the ventilation ducts incorporated into the structure, the air tion space, working as a cyclical system.

-

Summer

The climate during the summer creates the desire to cool oneself within the workplace. Therefore the cooling system takes naturally cooler air from the north directly into the building skin where it circulates down through the floor slab systems on building, as the air gradually heats up, currents carry the warmer air to the northern atrium, naturally moving it upward. This allows the air to be exhausted at the top of the structure, without the need for extra mechanical assistance.

Swing

During the swing months the building’s HVAC system transitions between cooling mode and heating mode, or vice versa. Air circulation is important to maintain a comfortable level of humidity, disperse excess concentrated heat, and remove unwanted gases. With that in mind the blower circulates naturally cool outdoor air, brought in from the top of north façade. This air travels down the southern wall and air currents carry it to the north end of the building. From there, the now warm air rises up through the open atrium, exiting the building at the top of the north façade.

Rainwater has proven to be a valuable option for environmentally friendly, efficient plumbing systems. Our goal in harvesting the rainwater at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning here at UWM is to develop a retrofit system that allows for the most efficient use of rainwater in the flushing of effluent into the city’s sewer systems. Mathematically we played with all the different variables, variables including population, average water use (flushes per day), and average amount of water used per flush, in order to maximize the available rainwater for use. These variables led to design decisions on cistern size, catchment area square footage, and pressure tank size. We felt that it was necessary to invest in both waterless urinal fixtures and more efficient toilet flush valves to increase available rainwater usage. With the installment of new fixtures we achieved a 75% increase of rain water usage from the initial 16% to 28%. Our choice of cistern size was heavily influenced by how easily we could install them, and how we could maximize the amount of rainwater stored. The efficiency of the system was also reliant upon the size of our catchment area, which we found to be approximately 10,000 square feet. It was decided that a cylindrical pool filter would be used in order to remove the smaller particles water before entry to the cisterns. P r oPj er ocfrom jteSc tt aSttma temn et n t
