The goal of the detailing was to create clean and simple edges and transi-tions. In this case, there are no mooleans be-tween the transition from inside to the balcony outside.Likewise for the handrail-ing, since the glass is sup-ported below the surface, there is no need for mooleans that break up the cleanness of the hori-zontal transitions.

Course Architectural Design IV
Duration 8 weeks
This was the 39th Annual Idaho Con-crete Masonry Association CMU Fires-tation Design Competition. The basic principle behind this competition was to design a firestation out of Concrete Masonry Units. The judges were look-ing for efficient and creativite uses of the modular blocks.

Architectural Design IVCourse
Duration 6 weeks
Create an aquatics center that has a competition pool and leisure pools. It was to have adequate changing rooms and other supporting facilities. The site itself is located on a south-facing slope in Moscow, Idaho that looks out onto the rolling palouse hills.
The program has a definite split: competition side and leisure side. Thus, a physical split was appropri-ate. This allowed the use of both areas at any given time. The waves of the water brought inspiration and gave character to the subtle, yet strategic roof profile that forms the larger and smaller spaces below. In accordance, the roof cantilevers over the southernsouthern facade at an exact distance as to line the equinox sun with the edge of the pool at any given point. This, along with light shelves and backlighting from the north-facade, help prevent glare issues from the south. Additionally, operable facades allow for passive cross-ventilation, to keep down the humidity. The plan is simple while the structure complementscomplements its clarity and provides maximum views out to the hills.

To allow people to fully experience and appreci-ate the historical structure of the steel silo, the steel panels were removed to expose the 8’x11’ steel grid. Photovoltaic panels were placed in the grid to produce energy on-site. It now houses profes-sors, a fitness room and condos.

SUSTAINABLE MOSCOW COURTYARD HOUSING
Semester
ProjectDescription

Fall 2008
Course Architectural Design III
Duration 6 weeks
Providing feasible housing has been an on-going struggle since the beginning of time. The U.S. has continually failed, most notably in the 50s and 60s. The goal of this project was to create affordable and sustainable courtyard housing without compromising the quality of life of its users. The site is rela-tively small, measuring only 100’ x 100’ and is located on an old, intimate street in Moscow, Idaho.
To promote a healthy and energetic envi-ronment, flooding the courtyard with natu-ral daylight was of utmost importance. This was accomplished by placing the lower building on the south side and vertically-progressing the buildings up to the north. The courtyards and individual units work gether in providing public, semi-private, and private spaces, which allows everyone to find their comfort zones. Each unit has substantial green terraces, light/ventilation towers, and photovoltaic arrays. This pro-motes a healthy and passive environment. Shared walls, plumbing, and outdoor areas significantly bring down the cost of living. Designing a place where one feels a true sense of belonging and community is of monumental importance in providing sus-tainable housing.
HANDS-ONPHYSICAL MODELS
The act of PHYSICALLY building models is an essential part of the design process. It allows one to make discoveries that are otherwise not possible in the 2-dimensional world. While making models, one can in-stantly have an understanding of its basicbasic implications and spatial char-acteristics 3-dimensionally. When someone limits themself to only 2-dimensional designing, they are robbed of the true spatial under-standing of spaces they are creating. Today in the design world, I see a lack of this physical connectivity in design.
It should be encouraged and fos-tered.
