the testing and exploration of an idea that continually progresses until satisfying a set criterion. This meaning sometimes I never reached the outcome I predicted but learned something atypical throughout, and in other cases I have achieved an excess amount of outcomes that would lead to an even greater discovery as I am then able to continually process those ideas. This project encompasses a variety of spatial and architectural complexities that I have explored throughout my undergraduate education.

CULINARY ARTS COLLEGE: THE UN-MUSEUM2011-2012 ACSA/AISC Steel Design CompetitionCritic: Stephen Bender Year 3: Spring 2012

Charleston is a city based on historic preservation and the history directly influ-ences the culture similar to that of a mu-seum. A museum, being a place where art and research is displayed/preserved (physical form). In contrast to Culinary Arts which are displayed but constantly consumed with knowledge being the only thing preserved (not physical form), which consistently creates a void, being filled with new forms of art, research, and technology. The strategy of the void has a close relationship to the program of the Culinary Institute. Following the propos-als based on square footage, food state

process, and visual adjacencies. It is ap-parent that a central void is enveloped by a majority of the spaces. The void be-comes a mediator for the interaction of institution and public, containing a bake shop, pastry kitchen, teaching kitchens, a roof garden and a culinary restaurant that folds down into the void as the pri-mary support of the program. A primary consideration in the thought of the pro-gram is based around adaptability in terms of adjusting to consistent new cre-ation, occupation, and technology. This became one of the driving criteria for the form of the multi-story public space.

The Un-Museum anchors to the site by going against the philosophy of Charleston, it connects with a public space embodied by open air circulation system making an visual and aromatic connection.

The strategy of the void is also applied to the en-trance. The entrance creates a first level primary ac-cess circulation for public, student, and faculty ac-cess. Connecting the thoroughfare of Cordes to the buildings on the other side of Eastbay a secondary entrance allows for a less dense path to the Culinary Institute.

This open air system would also al-low for the “smells” of the culinary kitchens to move throughout the in-stitute and onto the streets bringing the public into the construction visu-ally and aromatically. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide a successful institution for public and student interaction in the historic district of Charleston.

Combinatory

Taking Inspiration from the city of Chongqing in North/Central China, this study begins to further explore how the people of the Shibanpo District occupy the mountainous landscape. There are endless possibilities for how people use the landscape but this architectural/urban proposal focuses on just a few such as cantilever, embed, depression, etc. The driving force of the project looks at tak-ing the ways in which people use, move, and occupy public and private spaces in a urban context and create a combinatory condition, that acts as an anchor to the site and can link/respond to its context.

Initial Formal Study

Mountainous Landscape Study

These forces combined helped create an architecture that approaches some-thing like a building at times and some-thing like a landscape at others, where the edge between the horizontal and vertical become blurred. The formal proposal has a strong gestural approach but was not intended to be just a form in a field but yet the form derives from a process of making as many connections as pos-sible to the already in place infrastructure and topography. The programmatic pro-posal allows for an integral architecture for the users of Shipanbo that functions as a hybrid between building and ground.

These spatial sequence drawings look at the relationship of the building to the ground spe-cifically with the connections of building in-serted into ground, building above ground and building as ground (enveloping space between ground and ground). There is a priority given to the pedestrian means of movement as all direct

or the office. The basis of this project comes from the structure of a woven spi-der web. The primary structure is woven through the entire atrium but remains rela-tively open to allow for gathering spaces. The secondary structure and spatial inter-action is an extruded hexagonal surface for individual lounge, study, or relaxation, this is located of the wall closest to the studios in the building. Opposing the in-

dividual lounge is a different series of extruded hexagonal shaped that project light into the atrium and can serve as pin-up space for an exterior critique or display. Both extruded surfaces are held together with a steel hexagonal tube con-struction. This proposal will provide the students and faculty with public and semi-private spaces and encourage the use of more open air events for the UF SoA.

AUGMENTATION OF THE INCONSTANTAn Alteration of Paynes Prairie Critic: Kourtney Baldwin Year 2: Spring 2011

Paynes Prairie is a Floridian Preserve housing a wide variety of flora/fauna conditions. During the initial site visit I discovered this was not just a dry prairie like those in the Midwest of the U.S. but similar to the rest of Florida this has some wetland features. There is an artificial drainage system in place as well as routine controlled fire events that keep this a prairie rather than a

swamp. As I began to look at this site spatially the integration between the man-made and natural systems needed to be intertwined but allow for the man-made to be distinct similar to the underlying system to ground the project to the context. The program was a simple spatial construction that provided a space for park info/display, a space for observation, and a space

of dwelling for traveling visitors. The project became an integrated project of space and nature where overhead conditions come from ground, plac-ing the occupant in a space between ground, building, and ground. Using site trajectories/views help develop the internal rooms and create a spatial construction fulfilling the program and integrate both systems and spaces.

MAT LANDSCAPE:Edge Morphologies of the Florida LandscapeCritic: Michael Kuenstle Year 3: Fall 2011

The Mat Landscape along Florida’s Northwest Coast was inspired by the ideas of Stan Allen’s Mat Building, and Chris Reed’s Mat Ecologies. This explo-ration began with a study of how the edge conditions of Fort Island Trail Beach have changed over time. In order to structure the beach, inspiration was taken from a matted seaweed type material on the beach. The connections of the mat is what pushed the project further, as where ever there was a change in the edge condition, there was an intersection, which ultimate-ly helped construct the underlying frame-work of the landscape. With a framework in place, the surface of the landscape formed from a similar Mat inspired pro-cess. Relating surface to a mat in the sense of a filter, a series of cut, fill, and

Matted Seaweed Inspiration taken from site Initial Sketches Concerning Volume and Surface

extrusion operational parameters begin to form the Mat Landscape surface. The Cut allows for designated areas of human occupation and/or specific flora growth. Fill allows intertidal waves to overflow into specific areas for interaction with remain-ing water filtering out artifacts for visitor keepsake. Extrusion begins to provide shade for occupants due to the high heat effects of the sun at the site. The idea of Mat as Filter became about the exchange of two parts or two edges as the pro-gram of the USCG Flotilla Facilities was added to the program of the landscape. The idea of two folded planes exchanging space began to create the initial building diagram, where one folded plane creates an overhead condition, and then is en-veloped by a skin system for enclosure.

“The mat can be thought of as a systematic field of consistent and repetitive parts, dispersed across a large-scale territory.”

The next layer of the project was to create a performative surface, according to the criteria of sun exposure and view trajectory. The sur-face is made of a two piece folded component that creates an opening, which adjust accord-ing to the sun path, as well as opens up spe-cific view for the people using the facilities.

URBAN STOMACHA Gallery for Recycled ArtCritic: Stephen Bender Year 3: Spring 2012

Downtown Gainesville functions as an “ur-ban stomach” the relationship of the stom-ach and Gainesville’s morphological history is related in the sense, on a city scale the original formed city grid acts as a “stomach” compiling all of the blocks together with the circulation paths of streets and sidewalks. On a block scale each building is brought together through the use of a facade typol-

ogy which exist in most downtown regions, this allows the building to address the street with a continuous facade that exist on the surface on each building. On the occupant scale or street scale, the urban stomach is implemented differently as the build-ings become individuals, separated from the city grid and block facade continua-tion for public and personal use of the city.

Surface Study exploring varying divisions and aperture size

The Skin System allows for eastern light to seep into the art galleries but blocks harsh western light.

Continuing with the established urban fabric of the city as a stomach, the program fo-cuses on a Recycled Art Gallery/Recycling Sorting Center for artist pick up. This pro-posal is meant to compile the surrounding recyclable trash, compile it into to malleable materials for artists, and then with the use of recycled art can then be disbursed the for public viewing.

The Primary Structural Columns en-velope the perimeter of the building to enforce the circulation and allow for open gallery space.

The primary circulation stairs move around a large multi-height void that pushes the occupant to the edges of the building to experience the dis-plays and opens of the floor space for large gathering displays and events.

A three floor open void allows for multi-height displays, exposes the recycling equipment and envelopes and open air roof garden.

FOLDING LIGHTA Parametric Exploration of Surfacing LightCritic: Dr. Lucky Tsiah Year 4: Fall 2012

The idea of a folding light came from the inspiration of paper folding; the initial study began with a study of varying ways of how to fold paper. Upon finding a paper folding method of inter-est I began to specify the idea by perforating the paper to allow light to pass through the material, where the panels are more

USING PARAMETRICS AS AN URBAN TOOLReinterpreting the Vertical Trajectory of the High-Rise in New York CityCritic: Martin Gundersen Year 4: Fall 2012

The skyscraper is a definite typology and appears to be a final

construction in all highly dense urban models globally. It can ex-

ist anywhere in a rice field, or downtown it makes no difference

anymore. The original intent of the skyscraper was in an urban

environment ran by zoning, codes, and politics to pack people

on the move into a vertically organized space either for working

or for dwelling, but towers nowadays in the highly dense area

of Manhattan no longer stand together, they are spaced apart

or inserted up against other towers to the point where they do

not interact. A system of an urban grid which people move and

a vertical matrix of towers in a field of the grid in which people

dwell and work is created. Although there is insertions of public

space throughout New York City the effect of the public “green”

space is miniscule compared to that of which people move and

live? The same way the city continuously evolves in terms of

population, economics, business, and entertainment, the archi-

tecture and urban model of the city should be able to evolve to

accept these changes. The use of parametric modeling tools

used as a computational method rather than a style could help

generate a more integrated architecture/urban city model that

can deconstruct the typology of a vertical stacked space insert-

ed into a grid.

A majority of architects and designers nowadays think

of parametrics as a style and ascribe to its false skin deep char-

acter that overshadows its true merits. It can be used as both

a generative and analytical method during design exploration,

not only an emphasis place on design but also economics,

performance, efficiency, etc. And the form and appearance is a

product of the process of bringing together the urban grid and

vertical matrix. This new type of process driven urban architec-

ture can create a typology that is specific to the site, culture, and

time. This can create a sense of identity to cities again, rather

than the identity which is posed on them now of a transparent

and empty logo that is only recognized by the tallest and biggest

glass tube in the skyline. As parametrics is a newer emerging

technology is allows for endless analytical models than can be

based on any three-dimensional relationship whether it be of

volume and space or of economics and population. Parametric

modeling allows for and even encourages further transforma-

tions that accommodate the evolving often unpredictable needs

and wants of the users.

Replacing the tower as a symbol of capitalistic power

with public connective space, is how we can achieve the break-

down of the dumb glass tubes that take up the sky, where priority

is given to connectivity versus iconography. The use of horizon-

tal expansion through the New York City grid could allow for an

“We no longer need to reach the moon with 100 mile-high buildings. We can fly there.” - Frederick J. Kiesler

intersection of public created space which in the spirit of central

park could define parks, urban rooms, etc. It’s nothing new to

New York City where public amenities are pumped through the

city as a catalyst to drive private investment, which in turn could

finance the public space themselves. The most basic most is

that of central park where is a vastly used public space but gen-

erates billions of dollars for private companies (business, real-

estate, educational facilities, etc.) that sell the views, the prox-

imity, the experience of moving, working, and dwelling around

the park. Also in regards to taking advantage of the horizontal

movement, these type of urban architectural intervention, can

begin to stitch the field of towers together again, continually in-

tegrating the moving, the working, and the dwelling users. The

parametric integrated approach takes the urban model of New

York with existing landscape or green space in the city and treats

them as one, which creates a variety of new typologies with the

grid, that of landscape, roofscape, cityscape, etc. to respond to

the fluctuating nuances of the human experience of the city.

As stated by Rem Koolhaas cities are “becoming big-

ger and bigger, equipped with more and more facilities uncon-

nected to travel.” This is seen currently in the continual vertical

building expansion that is happening every day in the city, with

no plans or intentions of improving or revitalizing the infrastruc-

tural systems such as the subway, which is interesting in a city

that is always moving and changing developers, companies,

and occupants are more interested in the static improvement of

their space rather than the path or destination to and from that

place. This becomes another support as to why the typology of

the skyscraper should be broken, to help refocus the view of the

community that the public space is what is important over the

view of the public space. This view is similar to the way people

view parametric modeling in the sense they are concerned more

with the object rather that how the object is effecting the space.

If the refocus of parametric modeling could be on the logic of the

object rather than that of the object itself this in conjunction with

deconstructing the vertical line of the skyscraper could help es-

tablish a new urban architecture hybrid that gives identity back

to the city, and maintains connectivity.

FIFTH + TENTH: MANHATTAN HOTELUrban Infill Washington SquareCritic: Tom Smith Year 4: Fall 2012

The New York Hotel Infill takes place along 5th Ave. near Wash-ington Square Park. This 3 week proposal looked at how to be-gin plugging a singular architecture into the complex matrix of Manhattan. The overall driving force of the project was to take the conventional space of a building core and expand it to the point where it becomes a vertical public atrium. After given the site parameters the realization for my colleague and I was there was minimal views over looking the street and park. The con-

cept was to look in rather than out and the vertical atrium would enforce this while bringing light into the space, and add a sense of community to people living or temporarily staying in the hotel. The carving and extruding of large spatial volumes came from the inspiration of how the city works in plan and elevation with a variety of carved and extruded spaces. These volumes become the public spaces and amenities (lobby, deck/pool, piano bar) for the occupants of the hotel.

How to connect two seperate districts in an urban area?

The two inspirational influences of the project came from the phenomena of light condition of the residential towers on one side, and the high rise office district on the other. The other inspi-ration came from the five mountain ranges that run throughout the Chongqing area as the light and shadow condition is greatly affects urban lifestyle in China.

Page 41: Charles Green Jr Portfolio 1

Located in Shibanpo and near the Tongyuan Gate, at the highest point within the strong mountainous topography, the Daqiangba Water Plant was the first formal large-scale water plant in Chongq-ing. Historically it illuminated a majority of the Shibanpo District, preserving the memory and presence in the master plan was a major consideration.

The initial analysis of the site started with trying to find the morphological significance of the water tower as it has been around since the early 1900s. Aside from this, a thor-ough investigation of the mountainous landscape helped to understand how people use, move, and dwell in Shibanpo.

The driving force of the master plan proposal for the Shibanpo area was to create an urban condi-tion that connected to its surroundings by setting up parameters that would link the site to similar light experiences both in day and at night, and giving a priority to the water tower which originally had been a strong source of light that created a sense of community of the Shibanpo District.

The Urban Block Proposal takes place in the Clinton district of Manhattan and after visiting the site and its surrounding context my colleague and I noticed the lack of greenery (public space) in the area, this brought about the initial concept for the block to not sim-ply be residential towers and an internalized podium public space.

The site specific codes (street wall, sky exposure plane, 40 % open space), programmatic sq. ft. as well as view, light, and sun exposure became the driving performance parameters of the block. Using param-eters as such allowed us to test a variety of tower and podium proposals until we achieved one that met/ex-ceeded all of the items needed for the block.

Longitudinal Section (green space, plaza, retail park, sky lobby)22

Exceeding 40 % open (green) space with 55% we created a ground plane consisting of a large (green) soft/hardscape mix, as well as a public plaza, and an elevated green space for residents.

When any 2 towers meet the intersection be-comes a public balcony, and in the instance where all 5 towers meet a sky lobby is created.

When towers do not touch the podium at all in this case the enclosure of the base of the tow-ers is lifted 4 stories allowing the public using the ground to easily pass through the block rather than around it as typical of the New York Urban Block.

In the case when tower becomes the podium the program and skin are fluent, the create the public retail area, with outdoor eating area, and raised 3 floors above is a resident pool, and garden.

Through a formal exercise we looked at how the structure could remain tectonic but also serve as a sunshade device. Exceeding 40 % open (green) space with 55% we created a ground plane consisting of a large (green) soft/hardscape mix, as well as a public plaza, and an elevated green space for residents.

The intent of the project is to achieve positive outcomes from the strictly enforced codes, program, and break the typical block experience in order to provide a cohesive interconnect-ed block of public/private program.
