DESIGN MOVES

The project was to create a 100 bed hospital in Roswell, Georgia on at least 20 acre site relatively close to the current town square. Develop an overall master plan for the site then choose a specifi c topic to research individually.

Our site selection was based off of current zoning. We wanted a site that touched on as many programmatic areas as possible so our campus could easily integrate in to the city.

To organize our medical campus we separated each pro-gram piece into plates then fi ltered each plate through function into bands then through engagement into zones and eventually onto our site.

To further develop our site and overall concept we made a few important design moves. We changed the shape of the current site to help slow vehicular traffi c as it entered and the road then informed the shape of several buildings. Programmatic plates were placed on the site and circulations cores and entrances were created. And fi nally our green corridor idea formed.

To pick a specifi c part of our hospital and begin basic research that would infl uence the design directly. I picked the radiology department. My goals for the de-partment were to have obvious and separated pathways, day lighting in as many areas as possible, and fl exibility which included satellite radiology departments and hybrid operating rooms.

By following my three main concepts I ended up with an L-shaped department to maximize day lighting opportunities while still allowing for direct access to the Emergency Room, Laboratory, and the Surgery Suite on the upper level. The pathways are simple and have controlled access, and the larger room sizes and hallways allow for fl exibility.

The project was a 10 story mid-rise in Greenville, South Carolina that contains one to three bedroom apartments, a large atrium, and commercial space on the lower level. The main focus for the project was not the layout but the exterior facade and roof.

Each student was told to create a series of study models that did not resemble a building. After each iteration a preferred model was picked and studied further. Eventually a style was decided on and adapted to the building’sprogram. My inspiration came from the materials I used during my studies, cork board and balsa wood. Eventually I combined the forms developed during the study (canopies and geometric shapes) to design a facade.

Our project revolved around the University of Florida which is closely located to the newly developing Innovation Hub. The hub is a research focused semi-city that will help create a new center for innovation in science in central Florida. As a studio our goal was to design a research facility that fi t perfectly into the existing master plan.

The main emphasis was to create a space that fl owed from public to semi-private to secure access. We wanted our building to encourage the public to enter, to not be a space just for researchers. To facilitate the transition from public to secure access we invented a series of bands and paths that directly infl uenced the program layout.

Once the basic layout of the building was designed we began to complicated task of organizing the rooms. We developed a strategy that organized rooms by the types of user that would frequent them and the function that occurs in the space.

Our design was intended to fulfi ll the guidelines for two separate competitions; The ASCA Steel and the Velux Light Competition. Each group followed a set program. Everyone was to create a wellness spa featuring innovation in steel and lighting design.

Our project focused fi rst on light and then on steel construction. The project would house three large light wells that would help illuminate the interior of the rather massive building and also work as the main structural supports for the building. Essentially each well helps hold the fl oors in place which act as semi-cantilevers.

After developing several process models we decided to design around three light wells. We conducted several light studies so we could angle the wells in the most advantageous position for solar gain. Through a series of process models we began to develop shapes that would be dynamic structurally and provide unique opportunities for lighting.

In the end our project was structurally supported by three light wells. The program was situated around and in the wells depending on the type of light each space required. The walkways were slightly sloped to allow for a natural feel when traversing the building. The planting allow for a di-verse fi ltering of light while absorbing sound for the busy fi nancial distract.

Three studios, each from differ-ent schools, were tasked with the job of creating a cultural center for the impoverished township of Langa, South Africa. Once the students developed a design the professors of each studio and government offi cials from Langa voted on the favorite design which will then be built in the Fall of 2013. The design must appreciate the local cultural and adapt well to the climate in the region without the use of air conditioning or heating.

Our inspiration came for the leopard tortoise, a species indigenous to the area. We used the shape of its shell to create a set of modules that could create a multitude of programmatic layouts.
