Sequential Experiences

optimizing visual perspective through circulation The experience of a viewing a sculpture is often centered around the circulation and the allowed movement around the work. Through the curation of this pavilion emphasis was placed of the circulatory experience and paths that one must take to view the art. Ramps and circular patterns take the viewer up from the underground entrance and back down to the more intimate viewing spaces. As the viewer enters a new enclosure they are slowly allowed to catch an upper level glimpse at the work as the walls descend. When creating the individual room experience the layered volumes of a conical shell over a cylindrical interior was curated so the circulation between the volumes became a unique experience through a space which would otherwise remain vacant.

Programmatic Composition

underlying grid deriving programmatic organization Initial studies with massing and form were developed with the addition of a structural grid which became the key to developing the programmatic organization of a youth hostel. With a focus on the structural grid and the formal ideology of reclaiming the alleyway with a greenhouse space, the hostel turned inward towards the city focusing on community connections on the ground floor and large greenhouse space. With circulation facing the creek-walk front. Not only is structure emphasized in the drawings but also in the model where the structural grid was first created and then layers of enclosure were built up sequentially to form the youth hostel.

systematic overlays analyzing formal approaches Expanding upon the previous youth hostel project and layering on more information of climate characteristics and their relation to the formal approaches taken. Exploration of climate software such as Climate Consultant and Andrew Marsh, were key to understanding the climate of Syracuse, NY. Overlaying sun paths, and wind sections on the site and the hostel enhanced the understanding of the light received by the greenhouse section and the wind patterns surrounding the site. Furthermore the structural analysis and load diagrams enhanced the importance of the structural grid that drove the hostels organization.

exploring construction through creation A collaborative micro-home design project aimed at exposing structural elements and raw materials. The a-frame design nods to the camping culture around the finger lakes region where the project Group 19: Bella M, Katie M, Zoe O, Jace W resides.
Owasco Oasis
Structural details are key features in the presentation of this project as they communicate the architectural vision as it translates to a Design Concept constructed outcome. These details along with crucial annotations are a first rendition of what building systems compose the micro-home. Our A-frame tiny-home is meant for one to two outdoorsy, adventurous people, maybe they even have a pet. The back face of the house is entirely glass, half of which is a moveable glass door connected to a stationary glass door, showing the grandeur of Owasco Lake and its changing seasons. The primary structure of the house is the vertical wall supports, propping up the A-frame which rests on it, fully encompassing the left and right sides of the house. The spaces created by the overhang of the frame can be used to store outdoor gear like sports equipment, water toys, small vehicles like dirt bikes or jet skis, pet supplies, and mechanical units such as the breaker box and the gas tank. In the interior, the heat in the winters will rise to the top where the user sleeps, and in the summer the door screen and window above the sleeping area will open to allow the cold air off of the water to circulate through the cabin.
The tiny home uses wood-frame construction, utilizing a mix of repurposed wood from Wood Venders in Syracuse, New York. For insulation, the tiny home uses both rock wool insulation (for floor and vertical walls) and fiberglass batts (roof). Rock wool insulation is sturdy, will not slump in wall cavity over time, fireproof, and is a great acoustic barrier. Fiberglass batts are easy to install, common, and can be layered. This reduces the chance of extreme chemicals that may be released during the building process.

Constructed Landform Collisions
Fall 2023 ARC 207 Instructor: Molly Hunker

landform and building system collision A landscape inspired project where principles of exposing bedrock, elevating vegetation, and occupying the in-between, are explored to host a nature center which aims at intersecting labs and learning classrooms to create a collaborative and immersive nature experience. Exposing bedrock by scraping off the thin layer of topsoil on the site allows for the natural frost action phenomenon to be exposed. Furthermore, lifting angular rock wedges to expose the limestone layering allows for an immersive learning experience of the sites hidden conditions. Building components are utilized to elevate vegetation from the ground to further expose bedrock, highlighting the native floras unique growing conditions. While the formless geometries of the roof structures further distinguish the vegetation from the solid bedrock geology. Building to ground collisions within these systems from the occupy-able in between spaces where private areas become an extension of bedrock intrusions. These collisions also serve to emphasize that although the systems contrast they are codependent upon one another.
