FALL SEMESTER

1

GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONThe human leg in constructed using only circles and lines with a specific focus on the hinging action of the knee joint

LAND SURVEYING TOOL

Using the hinging action of the human knee as inspiration, a tool is created thatcan survey land

THE SITEThe surveying tool is used to gather data fromland. Sections are created from the paths walked. A plan is contructed and extruded to form a three dimensional site.

THE INCISIONA void is created in the site that referencesthe horizon through the extraction of earth.A chair is created that causes a new horizon line as the user looks out over his knees which are at eye level.

EARTH/SKY CHAMBERUsing excavation, a tomb to hold three sacredbodies is created. Users are able to walk through the site and experience the bodies based on their movement through the site. The faces of the bodies are framed by the sky through lightwells.

As the users enter the tomb, they walk down a ramp that causes the horizon line to disappear as they decend. The bodies are framed on the left wall which is angled towards the user and eventually meets the opposite wall as the user makes the turn. As the user begins to exit the tomb they are given a final view of the bodies as the horizon line reappears.

SPRING SEMESTER

THE LIVING WALLA PROJECT OF MANY

13

INDIVIDUAL DESIGNOnly one cut and one shift are allowed to be made into an original mass measuring 6”x6”x8.” The projects are to eventually beconnected along their faces in order to formthe Living Wall.

SMALL GROUPSStudents were split into groups of three and collaborate to push one design forward. The concept of sleeping spacesfor six people is introduced. This phase was done in collaborationwith Brendan Dillon and Matt Fugelsang.

Sleeping spaces for six are designed into the boxes that are created from the initial rotation. Each space allows light to enter, including fromtriangular shaped windows that are the resultant of space created from the overhang of each box.
