> Design of Focus Building The objective of the summer studio was the Master Plan and subsequent design of a focus building on Kent State’s Stark Campus. Through an iterative process the Master Plan was developed to enclose two large courtyard spaces, creating an academic zone, while providing equal views to the wetland preserve. The development of the focus building led to the programming of the Student Resource Center, which would combine the major functions of Student Services, Learning Resource Center and Administration. The building is a one-stop shop for all student needs, from incoming freshman to graduating seniors and everyone in between.

> Quality of Life is a Right The history of Zimbabwe dates back to the early 9th century with actual remnants of stone structures. These historical elements were called the Great Zimbabwe (the source of the countries name). These remnants are highly valued by the Zimbabwe people and signify their long history as a nation. Zimbabwe gained their independence from Great Britain in 1990 with the help of rebellious men and women who fought for freedom. A government was formed and a constitution was written to provide equal rights to every citizen. These writes gave each person freedom to speech, movement, assembly and the right to food and shelter.
The future of the country is filled with many possibilities. There is a potential for agricultural improvement which can lead to a sustained surplus of food. This could help to improve the quality of life for all malnourished people.
The baobab tree (pictured right) is an important icon to Zimbabwe culture. It has many interesting characteristics which allow it to provide the basic human needs of food, shelter, and water. During the rainy season, it produces a fruit called Mawuyu. This is a nutrient-rich material very high in vitamin C. Most Baobab trees can average a circumference of 50-150 feet. This can provide two functions. The first is shelter within its massive core. The second use, during the dry season, water can be used which collects inside the hollowed trunk to irrigate, clean, or even consume.

ISSUES OF ZIMBABWE TO ADDRESS:- POLITICAL REPRESSION- ECONOMIC COLLAPSE- INTERNATIONAL ISOLATION
QUALITY OF LIFE IS A RIGHT
The pavilion is an experience of cultural and political struggle. Each citizen of Zimbabwe is considered free by the constitution and given rights which define their freedom. The reality is these rights are not being upheld by the government. Rights being overlooked are the right to shelter, the right to food, freedom movement, assembly and speech. The most basic human needs of shelter, food and water should be provided to every human on the planet. The solution lies with the people to take a stand and fight for their rights. The Zimbabwe pavilion for the Milan Expo 2015 will deal with basic human needs of food, water and energy while also uncovering an uneasy reality of corrupt political government. The story of political, economic and social struggle will be told through cultural expression of imagery and abstract elements found in nature.
As the country struggles to regain its freedom from a politically corrupt government, citizens are faced with poor living conditions, shortage of food and unsanitary water. These conditions are causing an increase in disease related deaths, esp. among children. It should be a concern of the government to fix these issues, however, there has been little to no improvement under President Mugabe’s rein.

Zimbabwe is the 3rd poorest country per capita. They have reached a state of agricultural crisis. They face soil erosion and land degradation from over grazing. Water and air pollution levels continue to rise as deforestation consumes the countries forest areas.
It is becoming harder to feed the almost 13 million people of Zimbabwe. The life expectancy is around 39 years due to poor living conditions, poor food and water quality.
A poor government can impact an entire country. This is evident in Zimbabwe’s current crisis. The country is currently in a state of depression with economic and agricultural implications. International trade has decreased by 10% with unemployment reaching 70%. The images displayed above represent the state of hunger in the people of Zimbabwe. One look at these images and you sense their pain from the expressions on their face. It is important to understand what food means to a nation before you can understand how to provide for them. The moral of this story is allowing the people the RIGHT to put government leaders in office who will end International Isolation and invest funding to educate and grow nutrient rich food to feed the people.

BMW_G.I.N.A.
BMW has developed a light weight carbon fiber and aluminum frame car wrapped in an elastic fiber material. GINA stands for geometry in ‘n’ adaptations and is the first fabric concept car. The fabric skin allows for manipulation of the body to adapt however the driver sees fit. The engine is revealed by pealing away the fabric. There are no more hinges and heavy metal panels to deal with. The interior also uses a fabric surface to create a smooth and adaptive environment which compliments the exterior moves of the car.

Catenary Mesh Iterations - Digital DesignSurface is generated by introducing cuts into a mesh grid. Cuts adhere to adjacent surfaces and translate new spatial relationships. Gravity is applied in grasshopper and points are stretched, bringing the surface into tension. Space can be varied by scaling the outer limits of the surface.
Continued development of tensile surface by placing outer boundary of mesh into tension Further Development of multiple surfaces pulling in equal and opposite directions
Final Iteration of multiple surface tension. Connecting surfaces pull in both a positive and negative direction to allow for a smooth transition between levels.

> Form Follows F.O.R.C.E. Functionally Organized Response to the Climatic Environment
> System Integration
The strategic integration of art, landscape design, and urban planning blended with the needs of the society and the formal reactions to the climatic environment create a highly complex force that necessitates a design solution whose artistic simplicity is the beauty of its final manifestation.
Modern architecture of today has progressed into a higher state of awareness of its built environment: functional and societal organization, integrated and purposeful aesthetics, and climatically cognitive design responses.
Complexity must be the result of the forces impacting the building rather than the will of the author.

> Create a building that functions as a singular entity and a collaborative element in an ‘off-grid’ city block
> Design a form that fits well within context, yet makes an aesthetic impression on sustainable design
> Bring the synergy of the city block design into the context plan
The ‘Green Arts District’ for Oberlin College is programmed to function as an ‘off grid’ element in the heart of downtown Oberlin. As a key element of the city, Oberlin College provides an affluent abundance of artistic creativity to the cultures’ surrounding population. The reconstruction of the city block is proposed to create sustainability through collective efforts and localized resources, as well as the use of natural resources such as sun, light, wind, and water. The intention of this project is to define and execute positive strategies of sustainability while maintaining the cultural and artistic melody of the city. As an integral component of the city, community involvement will be addressed throughout the entire design process. Each function of the program should address more than one idea of sustainable integration to create a poetic and pleasant environment in and around the site.

The number one natural energy source on the site is currently solar radiation. Its use as an energy source will provide power for the majority of the site. Photovoltaic panels will be placed along the roof gardens and integrated on the south side of the building. The use of BIPV’s (building integrated photovoltaic) will not only add an aesthetic quality to cover the structure of the building, but they will also provide additional energy when the sun shines. The suns energy will also play a role in solar heat gain during the cold months as well as a source of nutrient for the vegetation in the green house year round.

Rainfall averages for the city of Oberlin collect around 35 inches per year. This water is being expelled from the site without any thought of reuse or application. Instead, the water will be harvested via an underground cistern and filtered to provide irrigation for plants and other vegetation in the green house and green roofs. In addition, the cistern will provide for gray water in all restrooms so as to reduce potable water consumption. This will not only reduce the cost of domestic water use, but will reduce the amount of site water run-off

The use of daylighting is important to reduce the amount of artificial lighting required in the space. By using atrium space, which provides natural diffused sunlight into the interior space, energy is conserved. These openings penetrate from the roof to the lowest level of the building to provide some form of daylighting in the space. Daylighting can also provide heat gain for spaces in the winter months. By using proper shading, a space can be completely blocked from sun exposure in summer, but full sun exposure in winter.

Re-Skin Manhattan> Operable Facade> Manhattan, New York> 3rd Year - Spring 2010> Professor Graves
> Study Innovative Facade Systems> Further Investigation of Selected System> Detail Final Prototype
The project intention was to further develop an existing facade system through the use of material, climate, context, character, and innovation. After extensive research, the direction for the project was driven by the concept of taking a simple double wall system and strategically slicing the outer layer to allow for operation.
No existing mechanism would operate the system as per design. This led to the development of the actuator + swing arm. The system was tested through both digital + physical interactive modeling, which concluded the operation could be achieved in conclusion with the initial vision. Translucent Photovoltaic Panels would provide energy to the actuators driving the system and also shade the interior space from excess solar gain. When direct sunlight is required from the user, they can operate their specific module, thus giving the facade a unique form. The system is also designed to track the azimuth of the sun for optimal solar collection. With its infinite positions and arrangements, this operable facade system will always possess an ‘ever changing’ image, reflecting the character of the city.
