BioAndrew completed his Master of Architecture degree at the University of Washington in 2013 and is currently pursuing a second masters degree in Construction Management. Motivated by his varied experience in development, design, construction and fabrication, Andrew is intent on more closely aligning these related fields for an integrated approach to building and placemaking. Living abroad in Italy, and later traveling though Scandinavia, has influenced his perception of engaging people and Architecture. It is his hope that through the application of interdisciplinary collaboration, emerging technologies and advanced construction processes, a smarter way of building can lead to a more sustainable and engaging built environment.

UNLV / b.s.arch / 2nd year / fall 2008 / critic: brian andrews / masterworks_addition

Designed and built in 1939 by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Sturges House is an iconic example of Modern Architecture in Brentwood Heights, California. Charged with the task of proposing an addition to the home, the small, one bedroom proposal caters to the resident as well as occasional groups of visitors. Intended to be occupied by a student of architecture, the program includes a studio, exhibition gallery, as well as a book store on the lower level.Adhering to a 6 x 6 planning grid, Wright emphasized the homes relationship to the sloped site by utilizing a generous cantilever for much of the modest living area and large surrounding deck. Likewise, the spatial characteristics of the addition are based on an extension of this same planning grid while emphasizing its relationship to the site, albeit in a different manner. Partially sunken into the hillside, the series of terraced volumes follows the contour of the site, thus minimizing the structures prominence. Taking cues from the Sturges Residence, large open patios and deep overhangs for shade allow the resident to feel connected with the surroundings by blending interior and exterior space.

A low-lying form maintains unobstructed views from the large balcony of the Sturges Residence. The cascading volumes of the addition mimic the gradual slope of the site.

While the three volumes align with the grid established by the Sturges Residence, the placement and size of doors, windows, and shade structures are based on the geometry of the diagon.

UNLV / b.s.arch / 3rd year / fall 2009 / critic: kevin kemner / tule_springs_chapel

Patterned after the model of Wayfarers Chapel in Southern California, the proposed chapel for Tule Springs Nature Preserve in Las Vegas, Nevada is to accommodate up to three wedding parties simultaneously while providing a unique and memorable experience.Developed to capitalize on the abundant light, the Tule Springs Chapel allows the wedding parties to experience three distinct qualities of light: Patterned, Dispersed and Chromatic. The exterior gathering spaces and circulation paths are partially shaded by the lush vegetation through which the sunlight creates a constantly varied pattern of light and shadow. The office space below, as well as the Bridal Lounges are clad in a translucent channel glass system, dispersing the incoming light evenly. Finally, varied chromatic light accents are introduced by the dichroic glass light monitor above the main building circulation. The chromatic cavity wall surrounding the alter also highlights the ceremony taking place.

Centered between the Pre-Garden and Post-Garden is the Chapel and Office complex. The program was split into two main levels with the Chapel above and the Offices below. The Chapel is cantilevered from the hillside and is supported by the offices below. The offices are clad in translucent channel-glass and gives the Chapel the appearance of being supported by a volume of light.

Partially sunken into the surrounding grade by five feet, the offices depict the weight and importance of the ceremony taking place directly above. The reflecting pool at the southeast corner redirects sunlight to illuminate the altar floor also made of a translucent glass. Surrounding the altar, the double-thickness exterior wall allows sunlight to permeate the buildings first layer and is then reflected throughout a chromatic cavity giving a subtle chromatic glow of light around the couple being married.

08

I believe a building should always be much more about the interior experience than the exterior...an external austerity followed by an inner immensity.

- Steven Holl

The exterior is austere and harsh yet provides a complimentary contrast to the lush setting in which it sits. The abundant presence of trees and rolling landscape allows the complex to nestle into and become grounded in the surrounding context. Although not a typical chapel form, the Tule Springs Chapel is intended to aid in the exploration of light and quality of space.

Culture Haus - Capitol Hill

UW / m.arch / 1st year / spring 2012 / critics: dorte mandrup & peter cohan / culture_haus

Disparate activities, with a wide variety of individuals and interests, cross paths in the new culture house to generate a new mixture of social activity and interaction. The narrow atrium, running the length of the building defines the main entry as well as the transition space between programmed spaces and open, flexible gathering areas. Contrasting in character, the more solid and enclosed mixing bar brings individuals together from differing activities occurring in the light and more open program bar. The ground floor, with its strong connection to street activity, houses the caf and restaurant spaces. More specific program activities occur on the upper floors such as the laundry, exercise space, maker lab and performance spaces.Because of the split-level section, each floor of the mixing bar serves two adjacent program areas across the atrium, one above and one below. This area houses amenities for all users of the space, including a library, storage, meeting spaces and restroom facilities. The library itself forms a thickened wall that runs vertically along the west side of the building.An open-air roof terrace on the top floor affords access to views of nearby Cal Anderson Park to the north, Seattle University to the south and downtown Seattle to the west. The terrace is partially covered by a canopy that controls light and provides cover from Seattles rainfall.

Supported by the Scan|Design Foundation, the Distinguished Visiting Professor Master Studio of 2012 was able to welcome Dorte Mandrup to the UW campus. Based in Copenhagen, the firm of Dorte Mandrup Arkitektur has received numerous design awards and engages in a wide variety of project types. The studio was co-taught by associate professor Peter Cohan and was based around two Intensive seven-day design charrettes when Dorte was in Seattle.

Progressive study models illustrate the evolution of the cut through the ground floor with a vertical atrium. Relationships between solid and void were explored to aid in exposing the program to the surrounding context.

The size and placement of the atrium was under continuous investigation and was ultimately used as an organizing element for the program relationships. Dedicated to vertical circulation, the atrium was a uniting element between the differing program pieces on each floor.

The shape of the atrium was extruded to cut through the length of the building. The vertical circulation then became the transition between dedicated program space and flexible gathering space.

GeoSolar Modular Classroom

UNLV / b.s.arch / 4th year / spring 2011 / critic: kevin kemner / geosolar_modular_classroom

The education system in general requires the accommodation of a fluctuating population. Each year, new families move into and out of the area serviced by a particular school. Limited financial resources and time constraints prevent the expansion or rebuilding of schools when number of enrolled students exceeds capacity. The traditional solution to this problem is the utilization of temporary modular classrooms, built and maintained on a tight budget to satisfy minimal educational requirements. The problem is, these often substandard classrooms are poorly lit and are not conducive to learning. Furthermore, the lifespan of such structures is stretched from the intended 8-10 years to 20 or more, often located on an under utilized parking lot, separate from the rest of the school and student body.Building from the development of a Classroom Design Guide specific to the needs and uses of the portable classroom typology, the GeoSolar Modular Classroom proposal addresses the educations, social, and environmental aspects of what a portable classroom could be.Integration with the surrounding environment by harnessing the potential daylight, water, and the earth are addressed and contribute to the performance aspects of the building, both in terms of education and energy use.By daylighting the space with both skylights and operable widows, the Heschong Mahone study, illustrated below, reinforces the corresponding educational improvements in a healthy learning environment.

Taking advantage of the under utilized crawl space beneath the portable classroom, the thermal properties of water (through rain harvesting or in connection with the schools existing irrigation system) are used to act as a thermal buffer. Connecting the water storage to a high efficiency heat pump and possibly a ground source heat exchange system, the temperature of the incoming water to be heated or cooled can be kept relatively constant. This allows the heat pump to work more efficiently and require less energy as it is heating or cooling the water between a smaller temperature difference. In particularly cold climates, the solar hot water heater can be used to pre-heat the water in the storage tanks, further reducing the load on the system.

Pinnacle at South Lake Union

UW / m.arch / 2nd year / winter 2013 / critic: joel loveland / urban_school

The area of South Lake Union is undergoing a rapid process of growth and change. The proposed zoning laws and height restrictions allow for a much more dense, urban lifestyle. As on of the earliest public green spaces in Seattle, Denny Park, located directly south of the site, provides a strong and identifiable anchor for the area. In order to support the increased economic growth, many more residents are expected to move into the area and will need appropriate accommodations.The Pinnacle at South Lake Union is intended to address not only the need for a school in this newly developing urban area, but also the needs of the students families and the surrounding community. Envisioned as a public-private partnership between the Seattle School District and a private developer, both parties benefit in ways that could not be accomplished separately. The School District could realize some significant cost savings by distributing the development and land purchase costs with another party. The developer, in taking advantage of various height restriction exceptions by merit of integrating a public amenity such as the school, could build residences with a incomparable views to both the lake and downtown, immediately establishing the tower as prime residential real estate soaring 34 stories high.The surrounding community would not only benefit from increased presence of families and residents, but also be able to utilize the schools more public areas such as the gymnasium.All these benefits come with their own unique challenges and constraints, however. Ensuring the safety and security of the children is of top priority. Furthermore, separate residential access and a loading bay is required to bypass the school without imposing on functionality. A complex program on a constrained urban site is feasible and provides great opportunity for innovative solutions.

The interaction of students among their similarly aged peers is encouraged by grouping a set of two floors together. The close proximity allows for easy circulation via stair and establishes a close sense of community among those students facing similar educational requirements.

To encourage a larger sense of school identity and association, the placement of specialized classrooms, one within each cohort, are intended to be used interchangeably by all grade levels thereby allowing interaction among those not in ones own age group or cohort.

This strategy allows the students to take ownership of their own space while also encouraging a broader use of the school at large.

The general organization of the building places the common areas toward the base, allowing the classrooms to occupy the upper floors. The below-grade parking garage and the gymnasium are accessible to the public during non-school hours while leaving the remainder of the school secure.

A careful programmatic and user-group separation allows for the integration of students, residents, and community without compromising the safety or convenience of any one group.

Urban Bike Station

UW / m.arch / 1st year / winter 2012 / critic: jim nicholls / urban_bike_station

Alternative transportation infrastructure is a necessary part of a healthy and accessible city. Seattle is very supportive of its cycling culture and would put such facilities to good use. Proposed for the triangular plaza across from King Street Station near Century Link Field, the Urban Bike Station would provide the spaces needed to encourage the use of cycling as a primary transportation method.Conceptually, the composition of the building takes its cue from the historical development and regrading of the site and surrounding area. Viewed as a series of stratified layers, the boundary of the site is shifted upward, revealing the layers beneath. Representative of the abstracted ground plane being lifted into the air, the thin roof takes shape as a Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN), often used as a vector-based model of a land surface. The triangulation rationalizes the complex shape into a series of planar elements, thereby simplifying construction and assembly. The surface at street level is treated in a similar fashion. The main bike parking level is seen as a reference plane, thereby heightening the perception of the undulating TIN surface above and below.These planes are supported by a series of canted steel pipe columns positioned at various angles to provide both vertical and lateral support to the structure. The columns also mimic the spatial character of the surrounding trees. The opening in the center of the bike parking area allows existing trees on-site to remain. The surrounding tree canopy envelops the space, providing a connection to nature within the larger urban environment.

The paths cutting through the site are in-line with common circulation routes and also define the various program zones. The most frequently used public areas are located around the periphery, such as the access stairs, bike repair shop, and bus stop waiting area. Above, the bike prep area and caf offer a more secluded environment, separate from the busy circulation and traffic on the street level.

UW / m.arch / 2nd year / autumn 2012 / critic: jim nicholls / prefab_flex

Prefab FlexAdvances in manufacturing methods and techniques have introduced new levels of quality and efficiency to the building industry. Economical sustainability can be realized without compromising quality. Faster on-site construction, reduced waste, and favorable working conditions are all by-products of recent trends in prefabricated architecture and construction. The proposed mixed-use development utilizes a combination of precast, panelized, and modular elements to provide affordable and flexible housing options to existing and future University District residents. Small living encourages social, environmental, and economic sustainability by consuming less, traveling shorter distances and engaging in a dense urban environment. The increasing desire to live close to the citys amenities has also added to the demand for lower cost housing options. The smaller living area equates to lower rental rates while also providing closer proximity to highly desirable amenities such as the University of Washington and the upcoming light rail station. As a co-housing community, the residents would enjoy the benefits of communal living with ample shared amenities and services. Ground level retail, buffered from the street by seating and treescape, will add convenience, safety and activity to the street front. A below ground parking garage would be dedicated primarily to the shared use of zipcars for the residents and community abroad. The public plaza hosts communal buildings, such as the community kitchen and multipurpose space. Tying into the larger cultural community, the plaza would also facilitate a mid-block crossing that would connect through to the lobby of the Egyptian Theater if it were to be rehabilitated. Realizing sustainable living, community comes first.

Utilizing a hybrid prefabrication method, each residence is composed of a kitchen pod, a bathroom pod and adjustable partition panels. A raised-access floor system enhances flexibility and facilitates the installation of the partition panels. Hollow core slabs support the floor and roof. A green roof system adds much needed permeable surface to the area and aids in water retention during heavy rains. Sliding shades and a terracotta rainscreen system finish the cladding on the exterior allowing for adjustable solar control and weather protection. Inherent flexibility allows multiple configurations while the precast concrete frame provides added durability.

The tartan grid frame breaks down further into a 2 x 2 interior grid within each unit. Moveable sections of wall panels allow the occupant to customize their interior as needed, or join multiple units together. The raised access floor facilitates the relocation of plumbing and electrical lines, allowing greater design possibilities as functional needs change or equipment becomes outdated.

Humanizing Industry

UW / m.arch / thesis / autumn 2013 / critics: rick mohler, elizabeth golden, gundula proksch / humanizing_industry

Where industry was once the backbone of new cities and the establishment of community, it has since been relegated to seemingly self-contained areas, often on the edges of the larger community, divorced from the people who benefit from its labors. However, a certain renaissance in making is evident in the Makers Revolution and an increasing proliferation of accessible fabrication facilities. Never in stasis, peoples needs, interests and way of doing things change and morph over time, often very rapidly, to best suit external influential forces. The physical context in which we live, however, does not always adapt so readily.Although the typical manufacturing facilities used today are not the dark, soot-covered factories of the past, they have developed to be little more than large, sprawling boxes, disconnected from their human occupants. Envisioned to maximize open space in which the needs of the machine are placed above those of the operator, little care is given to the human aspect of industrial space.This thesis explores the humanization of the industrial environment, providing spaces crafted to give the user a sense of place and purpose within the larger whole. Conceived on the basis of Open-Building principles, embedded efficiencies allow the building to adapt to changing needs and the relative lifespan of various building components. Expressed as a framework to facilitate the early commercialization stages of product development as well as educate the next generation of skilled workers, the Kent ManufactureLAB is positioned to be just one node of a larger sub-network embedded within the manufacturing industry at large.Technology has opened many doors, once closed or unknown. It is the role of technology to leverage its capabilities to efficiently address the pragmatic and the utilitarian. It is the role of the architect not only to absorb the new technology, but also to apply that technology in a way that is ultimately for the betterment of society, community, and the individual.

A variety of scales and spatial experiences are seen as one progresses through the building. The circulation bars, combined with the intruding landscape, serve to separate the repeating manufacturing bays. Each bay linked together by means of a pedestrian bridge running the length of the complex. Along this pedestrian bridge, smaller break-out spaces are provided to foster collaboration. Separate modules within the larger volume contain space for small groups or individual contemplation. These confined spaces reinforce the focus placed on the human occupants and a humanized experience.
