GEOLOGIC DUALITY: FINAL PROJECT (ONGOING)FALL 2015 - SPRING 2016| CRITIC: CHRIS PERRY

The Final Project studio revolves around the AN-THROPOCENE, or the geologic time of humans. Ini-tial research began with an interest in the mark man will leave behind, shown through the layers of Earth’s crust. Looking at examples of HU-MAN INTERVENTION in nature through direct in-tervention and bi-products. Examples include open pit mining, ecosystems created from landfill, and more.

Using Autodesk Maya, the physics software nCloth allows objects to be com-pressed. Each object has its own material property such as stretch and deformation resistance. After creation of these composite masses, a core sample is taken to study spaces formed between lay-ers of material.

AERIAL VIEW IN MANHATTAN

LOCATION: MANHATTAN FINANCIAL DISTRICT

In the last decade and a half the Financial District of lower Manhattan has seen a large increase in its resi-dential population. In the early years of the 2000’s ap-proximately fifteen to twenty thousand residents lived in the district. This number rose to approximately sixty thousand in 2010 and continues to climb. Office space in high rises are being converted into valuable apartments and condos. Restaurants and retail are also increasing.

In order to promote public use spaces within buildings in Manhattan, the city offers a compromise in terms of zoning. The sky plazas within the tower would offer these public recreation areas, and extend hight of the building.

Volumetric Heterogeneity is based off the Daegu Public Library Competition entry, located in South Korea, by STL Architects. The semes-ter long studio, design devel-opment, sought to push the concept design into a build-ing that was structural, as well as up to building code.

The fifteen floor library is a SLIM MONOLITHIC build-ing whose site is surrounded by low residential buildings. Structure lies in the two inner concrete cores and nearly one hundred six inch diameter diagonal columns located on the exterior of the curtain walls. Inner IN-TERLOCKING VOIDS are cut out of the floor plates inside to create three learn-ing neighborhoods. The park surrounded the library was designed to mimic the tree like design on the exterior structural columns.

MANUFACTURED ARCHITECTURE: BLURRING BOUNDARIESFALL 2014 | CRITIC: FRANCIS BITONTI | PARTNER PROJECT

Through this studio we explored INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING PAR-ADIGMS. Beginning by studying pre-fabricated and 3D printed homes, we ex-plored the growing niche of 3D printing in housing. Be-ginning by building a deltabot kit, we designed a PASTE EXTRUDING PRINTER at twice the size.

Studies were conducted to determine a material to print. Ours led us to a mixture of ground up brick, gloss gel, liquid tape, sand, and ceram-ic stucco. Using our 3D print-er we explored wall systems which would be created from strips that could morph into furniture and other wall fix-tures, blurring the boundary between wall structure and interior design.

EPHEMERAL SHROUD: CLARK MUSEUM PAVILIONSPRING 2014 | CRITIC: ANDREW SAUNDERS | PARTNER PROJECT

EPHEMERAL SHROUD began with concepts of DRAPING and PLEATING through the use of physical simulation. Dynamic models were found by using tech-niques like suspending grav-ity and frozen air MOTION ANIMATION. The figure appears to be suspended in space, creating a weightless effect.

The flexibility of the design process allows the pavilion to respond to a number of different site conditions, and has the ability to propagate across a field. The arrange-ment of the gradient is de-pendent on the form of the pavilion takes on. Structur-ally, catenary arches devel-oped in the dynamic gravita-tional models would support

The project centered on de-signing a new residence hall for RPI. Shaping the building around the given site, a cen-tral stepped courtyard is cre-ated for resident activities to take place. This also creates a separation between the public spaces and road.

Three different ROOM TY-POLOGIES accommodate different living preferences. From these, the outer fa-cade is created by assigning different lengths to each. The corners of each floor are CIRCULATION and COMMUNITY spaces such as kitchens or learning com-munities. Students are given more access to the outdoors and promotion of social in-teraction is fostered.

MARS: AN ARCHITECTURE TERRA-FORMATIONFALL 2011 | CRITIC: ADAM DAYEM

Focusing on an aspect of the Mars terrain that had a repetitive feature, this stu-dio focused on researching underlying processes of land formation. Analytical hand drawings gave clarity to the PHENOMENON OF NAT-URAL FORCES. Integrating a transformative grid, it was possible to further push the exploration of the limits of the land.

Using elements of Japanese joinery it was possible to push these two dimensional grids into three dimension INTERLOCKING JOINTS. Exploration through scale, rotation, and inversion creat-ed modules that then grew into larger assemblies fea-turing abstract logic to cre-ate a new landscape.
