CONCEPT: We were encouraged to find a local client for which we could build a wall installation. Although a budget was provided by the client I took it upon myself to find local businesses who would donate materials for us to use. Jeff Ball of Wisconsin Built was willing to donate nearly 5,000$ of wood veneer. Since all of his projects are custom interiors he gave us 20 species of scrap wood veneer from various projects. My position within the group was to discover how to utilize our material and find a pattern and connection relevant to the various species. With Jacob Himmelman, we came up with the idea of a pixilated fabric. By pixalating the surface we decided on a gradient that would travel from the Southern most spot on Milwaukee Street around the corner to the most Western point on Mason. We placed the woods into families of color and

created a gradient.

LOCATION: Zarletti Restaurant 741 N Milwaukee St. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202

FUNCTION: To serve as a beacon to the outside, embodying the luxury and attention to detail of the dining experience at Zarletti.

FORM: The form of the installation was derived from the quality of bending that the wood veneer could withstand. We tested it’s limits and then prepared a script in Visual Basic with the parameters we found to decided on how exactly our wood would oscillate and thusly determine the lengths of each piece of wood to be cut.

CONSTRUCTION: The assembly would consist of two horizontal rails attached the steel stud existing wall which would support the plywood struts. The plywood struts are 3/4” thick hand cut and routed. They vary in depth to push and pull the curves toward and away from the wall. The struts then receive three plates which could be adjusted for tolerance. These plates were all laser cut to ensure accuracy. The wood veneer was fitted with holes to allow bolts to pass through a face plate then the veneer then the back plate to attach to the struts. To protect and add detail to the cut ends of the wood veneer I decided to use a chrome finish car door edging that we buffed by hand to make it appear to be metal.

ADDITIVE PROCESS: ARCHITECTURE OF THE MODERN ADDITIONCOMPREHENSIVE 825PROFESSOR JIM SHIELDSFALL 2011

LOCATION: 209 South Water Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204

FUNCTION: To renovate the existing warehouse loading dock building of 209 S. Water Street with an addition to function as a housing for the Milwaukee Institute of Art + Design along with a student and faculty gallery and cafe’.

FORM: The form of the existing building was enhanced by a glazed storefront facade to see into the gallery space from the street. The form of the tower was created by placing the public student programmed spaces on different floors and in different locations of the tower to show a play of solid and void on all of the elevations.

CONCEPT: I chose to renovate the existing building at a low cost not only to reserve money in the budget for a high end residence tower but also to keep the raw nature of the warehouse to fit in with the 5th ward aesthetic. This type of gritty environment serves the gallery and cafe’ space well. I clad the tower in cor-ten steel to appeal to the context of the industrial site. I placed many of the student service spaces on different floors and locations within the tower to create a vertical movement of inhabitants encouraging social interaction and allow the best views from the public spaces for the students to enjoy.

CONSTRUCTION: The structure is made up of 8” post- tensioned concrete slabs with 20” cast in place concrete columns. 10” Steel piles are driven into the ground to reach bedrock 100’-0” below the footings. The cladding is a rainscreen wall made up of 5/32” heavy gauge Cor-Ten Steel plate w/ 5” insulation and a 8” steel stud backup. There is a 6” pressure equalized cavity to allow the Duratherm Hopper-Hung Mahogany Windows a 6” return of Cor-Ten producing a deep recessed window allowing privacy for the residents and a mass vs. void aesthetic. The curtain walls are a Novum Linear Supported Glass to allow the “voids” to look as one volume instead of divided up by exterior mullions.

PROFESSOR GREG THOMSONFALL 2010

LOCATION: GSA Building 300 N Los Angeles St. Los Angeles, California 90012

FUNCTION: To alter the existing office building of 8 stories, 230’ X 550’ and 120’ tall into a net zero structure by any means seen

fit.

FORM: The floor plates needed to be broken up to allow natural ventilation and daylight within the spaces. These interventions

save energy needed for HVAC and artificial lighting but energy production must occur as well. A complex system of

photovoltaics covers nearly every exterior surface of the building. Vertical and horizontal shades line the exterior to allow more

square footage for solar panels and protect the interior from solar heat gain. Energy producing buoys are placed into the Pacific

Ocean for more energy production.

CONCEPT: Inspiration for the built form and the energy interventions of the building are based on the natural occurring

features of the site. In Los Angeles there are prevailing winds from the East and Southwest. There are many locations of fault lines nearby. There is an abundant amount of sunlight during

all seasons of the year. The Pacific Ocean is 15 miles to the West of the site. The night temperatures often drop to the dew point generating condensation, otherwise, rain water is fairly scarce.

All of these features inspire the design.

NATURAL DAYLIGHT VIA WINDOWS

NATURAL DAYLIGHT VIA LIGHT PIPES

LONGITUDINAL SECTION THROUGH ENTIRE BUILDING

During the day we almost never have to turn on any lights because the light pipe system brings in enough natural daylight.

The original building had 200,000 sq.ft. floors that only

had daylighting along the perimeter. The building is now 96% daylit due to the

removed square footage and the light pipe system.

Washing my hands produces gray water that can be filtered and used to water the California Poppies on the 8th floor. Poppies are my favorite.

Los Angeles is a very arid place during the day. In the evening the air temperature often reaches the dew

point allowing condensation to occur. The atrium roof is equipped with condensation collectors and water filters.

The collected water is then sprayed throughout the interior atrium space during the day, allowing evaporative

cooling of the space. The cooling changes the air pressure which pulls air in from the outside creating

natural ventilation.

METROPOLIS COMPETITION

ENERGY PRODUCTION/ CONSERVATION

An energy producing buoy for each of the 800 employees is placed into the Pacific Ocean. Waves here are strong enough to make up for over half of the building’s energy needs.

Los Angeles is an arid climate and since water is scarce it’s conservation is not

only responsible but necessary.

I love how this atrium opens up to let in plenty of sunshine and fresh air. I take my lunch break out here and feel refreshed for the rest of the day’s work.

The new operable windows and vented

atrium make the building 100% naturally

ventilated when outdoor temperatures are tolerable.

The direction of the wind in this location helped to determine

how to slice through the building, allowing the prevailing winds

to pass through providing more ventilation.

THAILAND BOUTIQUE HOTEL DESIGN STUDIO 810PROFESSOR DON HANLONFALL 2009

LOCATION: Northern Thailand along the Mekong River in the middle of a bamboo forest.

FUNCTION: The hotel is a stand alone two bedroom structure for two couples to stay comfortably. The hotel has access to the Mekong River where venders would float down and sell local foods to the visitors. A kitchen is provided for the preparation of the vendor’s food.

CONCEPT: The hotel incorporates Western comfort with Thai culture and local construction methods.

ELEVATION PROPORTION

THAI BOUTIQUE HOTEL

FORM: The structure is post and beam made of all local wood. Due to the tropical climate of Thailand the building must breathe and also be closed up for the monsoon season. The entryway slatted wall allows privacy and ventilation. The North interior wall of the common space is treated this way as well for views of the bamboo forest and natural daylight. Since the prevailing winds are from the South the South facade is protected with shutters. The upstairs features a spa with a private balcony for the visitors to look out onto the River. The roof structure has pop-outs that pressurize the interior air to prevent rain from being sucked into the space. The roof is also open to the floor below allowing hot air to pass through the first floor and be expelled via the pop-outs.

MILWAUKEE CITYSCAPE PROPOSALS (2)GROUP PROJECT: HOLLIE ENGDAHL + LUCILLE STRAWNMARCUS PRIZE STUDIOWINNER: FRANCIS KÉRÉPROFESSOR CHRIS CORNELIUSSPRING 2012

LOCATION: 35th Street between Cherry Street and Vine Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53208

FUNCTION: Along 35th Street there are an alarming amount of vacant lots. The vacancies are often a result of foreclosure and demolition of homes. This proposal sought to give life back to these voids and fill in the urban fabric of these blighted areas.

FORM: Gardens will fill the voids to be enjoyed by residents but also benefit local wildlife. Five different lot types fulfill the needs of users from hummingbirds to humans. Plants species were chosen specifically for their benefit to the inhabitant and also to ensure year round color and life within the lots. Five elements made from economical materials such as PVC and OSB that would stand as forms in the garden. Two bee habitats, one for Mason Bees and one for Honey Bees. Bees are a vital part of this revitalization due to the nurturing benefits of pollination.

CONCEPT: The benefits of these lots covers many areas, since many of the residents don’t own cars they can now easily walk to a park space for their children. The scent from the flowers will brighten the air quality. The bees travel up to a 2 mile radius from their hive, pollinating all of the neighbors flower beds and producing a delicious urban blend honey. These areas have been hit hard by the devastation of the recession and the people living here are constantly reminded of it with these vacant lots on every block, this proposal suggests that by filling these voids we can bring the community together.

MARCUS PRIZE: CANSCAPE

CONCEPT: On 35th street much of the population is on foot and there are several lengths of sidewalk with lifeless and unpleasant features.

Here there is an opportunity for architectural elements which enliven the experience of the street for the pedestrian and driver. To allow for an

economical solution I discovered the structural and visual appeal of steel food cans.

LOCATION: The first site is the sidewalk in front of the Symet Corporation building. The building facade runs the entire block of 350’-0” with a run down masonry wall which pins the pedestrian between it and the busy

street.

FUNCTION: Here a pergola was designed to allow a sense of volume allotted for the pedestrians away from the traffic. Atop the pergola lay

strands of tin cans which have had both ends cuts off and are oriented at different angles. This variation creates a dappled light effect upon the path

reminiscent of a tree canopy. Since the cans are not affixed they will move in the wind creating “rustling” sounds indicative of wind through leaves.

LOCATION: The second location is on the 35th Street viaduct which provides no separation between the pedestrian and the

traffic.

FUNCTION: Here a can “wall” with all cans oriented at a 45 degree angle allows for dissolving views as the cars drive by and barrier for the pedestrians. At points the wall shrinks to 3’ high to allow

transverse views of the city. As this is one of the most scenic locations in Milwaukee, it should encourage lookouts.
