Site  Analysis  :  :  :  We  chose  this  particular  site  in  the  courtyard  because  it  had  existing  structures  that  were  the  most  appealing  to  us  and  interesting  to  use  as  boundaries  for  our  design.  We  also  chose  an  area  that  was  also  a  passageway  for  many  so  that  our  audience  would  be  larger  as  well  as  be  compelled  to  walk  through  our  design.  We  also  wanted  to  include  the  upper  level  and  nearest  spandrel  to  hang  support  beams  from  as  well  as  give  our  design  more  dimensionality.  We  chose  to  use  the  classroom  walls  and  windows  as  perimeters  and  edges  of  our  design  –  in  this  way  having  a  boundary  that  was  could  extend  into  the  classroom.    We  finally  wanted  to  incorporate  the  tree  in  the  courtyard  to  enable  us  to  integrate  both  the  built  and  the  natural  environment.    The  site  we  chose  essentially  shaped  the  design  we  created  as  well  as  helped  to  script  our  narrative.

The  wind’s  path  over  City  College  Campus  -­‐  

Site  Research:::  In  our  site  analysis  we  also  had  to  take  into  account  the  natural  elements,  such  as  wind  and  sunlight  that  are  essential  factors  at  play  in  our  design:  what  shadows  may  be  cast,  and  what  elements  will  our  audience  feel  as  they  are  standing  within  our  site?

Individual  Design  Work      1st  Iteration  

In  this  iteration  I  explored  the  approach  of  tessellation,  using  triangles.    Inspired  by  Buckminster  Fuller’s  Dymaxion  Map,  I  created  a  3  dimensional  model  using  matte  board.    Using  no  glue  but  only  cuts  made  with  a  box  cutter,  I  was  able  to  create  this  tunnel-­‐like  structure.    There  are  elements  of  positive  and  negative  space,  triangular  windows  to  the  outside  world  on  the  roof  and  walls.    I  created  two  tessellations  to  give  a  variety  of  forms  –  one  using  an  equilateral  triangle,  the  other  using  an  isosceles  triangle.    If  the  outside  panels  were  a  map  as  Buckminster  Fuller  hap  imagined  it  would  be  quite  interesting….  or  mirrored  instead  of  white,  it  could  reflect  the  outside  world  in  a  very  unique  way,  and  especially  our  site.    It  was  a  fun  experiment  in  tessellation  but  not  one  that  responded  to  the  site  as  much  as  I  would  have  liked,  at  most  it’s  a  tunnel  that  could  lead  one  from  the  hallway  side  of  Batmale  Hall  to  the  tree  in  the  courtyard  or  to  the  other  classrooms.    I  decided  to  try  and  be  more  site  specific  in  my  next  iteration.

2nd  Iteration  In  this  iteration  I  explored  further  the  design  approaches  of  sectioning  and  framing  using  bass  wood.      Using  repetition  but  with  a  hierarchy  of  line  weight,  I  created  another  tunnel-­‐like  structure  with  wing  like  elements  hinting  at  the  feeling  of  exuberance  and  flight.  These  flying  elements  I  hoped  could  connect  to  the  upper  level  of  the  our  site  (the  railing  or  nearest  spandrel)  and  the  lower  level  where  the  width  of  the  wood  is  widest  I  imagined  could  be  nestled  next  to  the  tree  to  provide  an  intimate  space  in  which  to  dwell  next  to  it.    I  was  inspired  by  Theo  Jansen  who  creates  kinetic  wind  sculptures  for  this  iteration,  which  also  have  the  same  expressive  features  I  was  looking  to  interweave  into  my  design:  lightness,  and  an  energetic  feeling  of  flight  and  movement.    I  enjoyed  the  increased  complexity  in  this  iteration  from  the  previous  but  hoped  to  improve  it  by  adding  more  shaded  and  opaque  elements.

3rd  Iteration  For  this  iteration,  to  improve  upon  the  last  and  give  more  elements  of  shade,  I  wanted  to  blend  both  tessellation  and  sectioning/skeletal  elements  together,  as  well  as  adding  an  element  of  color.    I  had  an  idea  that  the  sun  may  play  off  these  panels  of  color  to  create  interesting  shadows  on  the  structure.    The  site  I  had  in  mind  was  not  one  that  would  get  sunlight  at  high  noon  –  the  time  of  our  presentation,  so  the  color  panels  as  mentioned  my  my  classmates  turned  out  to  seem  a  bit  superfluous.    My  hope  was  that  the  dome  shaped  tessellated  area  could  be  nearest  to  the  tree  to  provide  again  an  intimate  space  to  dwell  as  well  as  shade  and  a  proctective  element  from  the  wind.    The  flying  winged  elements  could  ascend  to  the  second  level.    The  longest  pieces  of  wood  that  curved  over  the  whole  model  I  was  told  were  a  bit  impractical,  as  it  is  hard  to  get  wood  that  long  as  well  as  that  flexible!    I  was  also  told  the  model  seemed  a  bit  disjointed  as  I  may  have  tried  to  interweave  too  many  different  elements  without  a  real  center  or  focus.

Research  and  Experimentation  :  :  :  

Before  building  my  next  model  I  experimented  with  elements  of  weaving  by  using  the  thinnest  bass  wood  I  had  and  gluing    them  together  with  even  rhythmic  spacing  and  the  slightest  spin.    Using  two  of  these  composite  pieces  I  was  able  to  create  a  vortex-­‐like  effect  when  the  two  were  woven  together.    This  I  was  told  was  reminiscent  of  the  Japanese  artist  Shigeru  Ban  and  the  Centre  Pompidou-­‐Metz,  who  then  became  a  design  inspiration.

Team  Selection  :  :  :  

Based  on  the  iterations  that  were  created  in  class,  Rue  Critchfield  and  I  seemed  to  have  similar  aesthetics  we  wanted  to  combine  and  both  wanted  to  build  off  the  same  site  I  had  previously  discussed  for  the  same  reasons,  and  thus  we  chose  to  be  collaborative  Design  Directors  for  the  final  project.    We  chose  our  other  team  members  based  on  their  design  iterations,  output,  similar  vision  and  interest  in  the  site  we  wanted  to  use.    These  team  members  were  Carlos-­‐  our  Project  Manager,  Betty  -­‐our  Bookkeeper,  and  Siamak  –  our  Photographer.    Brett  we  took  on  as  he  needed  to  belong  to  a  team  and  really  liked  our  vision,  and  assigned  him  the  role  of  site  coordinator.

4th  Iteration  Rue  Critchfield  and  I  collaborated  on  this  draft  of  the  final  iteration  together,  which  became  the  basis  for  the  final  model  we  built  full  scale  as  a  team.    We  began  with  a  blank  model  of  the  specific  site  in  the  courtyard  we  were  planning  to  use,  which  Rue  had  built  out  of  foam  core.    Rue  had  also  taken  a  small  triangular  piece  of  paper  and  folded  it  at  irregular  but  increasingly  larger  intervals  and  unfolded  it,  like  origami.    I  used  the  edges  of  these  folds  that  he  made  and  extended  them  out  with  tiny  wooden  sticks,  which  started  to  mimic  the  irregular  organic  branching  of  a  tree  limb.    Extending  these  lines  toward  the  second  level  above  the  courtyard,  and  bringing  in  the  woven  spinning  elements  I  had  previously  been  experimenting  with,  we  managed  to  create  a  model  that  became  a  conduit  between  the  Brutalist  form  of  Batmale  Hall  and  the  tree  in  the  courtyard.    We  then  decided  to  continue  the  form  that  is  the  hard  concrete  block  of  Batmale  hall  and  break  it  apart  into  both  positive  and  negative  space  by  using  a  parallel  rectilinear  line  repeated  out  as  an  extension  of  the  corner  of  the  building,  which  became  the  perimeter  of  the  entryway  of  our  design.    

Page 37: Final Portfolio for Tiare Noelle Schiller - Arch 101 Design Studio

We  also  hoped  to  echo  the  pattern  of  the  spandrels  that  extend  the  entirety  of  Batmale  Hall  by  creating  joints  of  wood  at  nearly  90  degree  angles,  spun  and  repeated.  In  doing  so,  we  hoped  to  distort  the  viewer’s  perspective  of  space  and  time,  to  almost  slow  them  down  as  they  approach  the  tree  in  the  courtyard.  In  this  way  we  wanted  to  soften  the  contrast  of  the  two  and  create  a  space  which  harmoniously  connects  one  to  the  other.    We  also  wanted  to  create  an  intimate  space  where  the  viewer  could  interact  with  the  tree  and  be  protected  from  the  forces  of  nature  –  the  sun  and  the  wind.    The  origami  like  triangle  Rue  had  originally  made  took  the  form  of  a  semi-­‐tessellated  covering  next  to  the  tree  that  provided  this  intimacy  and  mimicked  it’s  forms.

Final  Iteration  /  Small  Scale  design  Charette  :  :  :  

For  this  final  model  we  simply  improved  the  last  by  altering  the  entrance,  where  the  walls  of  the  structure  are  windows  of  the  classrooms  of  Batmale  Hall  leading  to  the  courtyard.    We  also  built  a  second  covered  tessellated  area  on  the  other  side  of  the  structure  in  order  to  provide  balance  to  the  overall  piece.    Off  of  the  second  tessellation  I  extended  it’s  lines  using  very  thin  sticks  of  wood  at  irregular  angles  again  to  mimic  branches  of  the  tree.    Betty  also  designed  a  chair  which  was  inspired  by  our  previous  iteration,  and  you  can  see  in  the  center  of  the  model  in  one  of  the  pictures.    We  felt  this  model  was  more  harmonious  and  something  we  could  start  building  from.

Materials  Research  :  :  :  In  order  to  actually  construct  this  model  full  scale,  we  went  to  Building  Resources  and  Lowes  to  look  at  available  materials.    We  decided  on  using  thin  wood  pieces  from  Lowes  as  it  was  the  cheapest,  lightest  and  most  consistent  material  to  work  with,  and  closest  to  that  of  our  original  model.  It  is  one  that  also  comes  closest  to  the  actual  bark  of  the  tree:  originating  from  trees  but  through  an  inorganic  process,  thus  keeping  with  the  theme  of  connecting  the  built  environment  to  that  of  the  natural  one.  We  wanted  to  have  honest  connections,  and  decided  on  black  screws  and  tapered  bits  of  wood  to  make  long  extended  pieces,  both  of  which  we  desired  to  create  a  rhythm  with.    We  also  wanted  to  create  a  structure  that  would  work  with  the  environment  and  not  against  it,  and  thus  could  move  with  the  wind  if  needed.    In  order  to  suspend  and  join  certain  areas  we  used  black  paracord  and  tied  knots  where  certain  joints  met  in  two  or  three  places.    

Page 55: Final Portfolio for Tiare Noelle Schiller - Arch 101 Design Studio

For  the  covered  areas  we  found  that  plywood  would  be  too  heavy  and  expensive,  so  we  decided  on  a  lightweight  cotton  fabric,  the  same  shade  as  the  concrete  of  the  courtyard,  again  in  hopes  of  blending  two  worlds  together.    In  my  experimentation  with  fabric,  I  found  I  could  echo  the  curvilinear  shapes  formed  by  the  spinning  wood  at  the  entrance  by  stretching  the  fabric  at  it's  corners  into  the  wooden  frame  we  created  as  the  perimeter  near  the  tree.    In  this  way,  it  also  softened  the  joints  of  the  frame  as  the  one  approaches  the  tree,  and  also  giving  a  skin  to  the  skeleton  we  had  built.    The  fabric  also  served  as  an  interesting  method  of  blocking  and  framing  the  view  that  one  has  within  the  structure.  In  our  experimentation  with  both  wood,  rope  and  fabric,  as  well  as  our  investigation  into  different  types  of  structures  that  could  be  built,  we  decided  it  would  be  most  elegant  using  the  site  we  had  chosen  to  create  a  composite  structure  that  was  both  tensile  and  compressive.

Final  Installation  and  Design  Narrative  :  :  :  

Our  design  attempts  to  transform  the  Brutalist  built  environment  of  Batmale  Hall,  and  connect  it  to  the  tree  that  has  grown  out  from  a  tiny  square  in  the  concrete  of  it’s  courtyard  in  an  attempt  to  harmoniously  intertwine  the  organic  with  the  inorganic,  the  and  form  a  language  in  which  the  two  may  converse.    In  this  way,  we  are  providing  a  transformational  passageway,  a  tunnel  or  conduit  that  translates  the  language  of  the  natural  environment  to  the  built  environment.  We  also  wanted  to  create  something  that  could  transform  the  feeling  of  unease  and  anxiety  often  associated  with  sharp,  acute  angles  into  something  welcoming,  with  an  energetic  feeling  of  freedom  and  flight  while  still  remaining  grounded  to  the  earth  and  it's  organic,  natural  forms,  creating  a  composite  of  contrasts.        

Page 74: Final Portfolio for Tiare Noelle Schiller - Arch 101 Design Studio

Our  design  intends  to  manipulate  the  viewer  through  a  low  tunnel-­‐like  passageway  in  which  they  must  bow  to  enter  a  dwelling  space  we  have  built  beside  the  tree,  as  a  metaphor  to  signify  they  are  entering  a  sacred  space,  often  as  you  do  when  you  enter  a  temple  or  in  Japanese  custom  of  conversation.  In  this  way,  we  are  placing  an  importance  on  this  arbitrary  outgrowth  of  nature,  one  we  often  walk  past  on  campus  or  in  a  city.    We  wanted  to  create  a  space  within  a  space,  giving  the  viewer  a  suggestion  to  dwell  and  transforming  the  often  mundane  “city  tree”  into  something  poignant  and  allowing  the  viewer  to  have  a  momentary  intimacy  with  this  vulnerable  yet  resilient  form  of  life  and  perhaps  experience  it  in  a  new  way…  or  even  see  how  it’s  form  is  echoed  in  our  built  environment  using  the  forms  we  have  suggested.    Even  in  this  intimate  space,  the  viewer  is  connected  to  the  outside  world  with  a  triangular  wooden  tube  that  extends  to  the  other  side  of  the  tree,  in  which  they  may  have  chance  interactions  with  passers  by  who  talk  into  it,  or  can  simply  listen  to  the  wind  or  peek  out  to  see  what’s  on  the  other  side.

Chair  Design  :  :  :  

Rue  designed  a  chair  in  which  to  sit  in  the  intimate  space,  using  a  slab  of  Avocado  Tree  he  acquired  when  his  neighbors  cut  it  down.    Using  scraps  of  excess  wood  from  our  full  scale  model,  he  built  the  base  of  it,  weaving  the  wood  together  in  a  Japanese  style  with  twine  in  a  very  harmonious  repetitive  design.        Betty  designed  a  chair  with  a  built-­‐in  ashtray  that  echoed  the  triangular  shapes  in  our  full  scale  model  to  serve  as  a  partition  to  the  innermost  open  negative  space  within  our  model.    It  could  also  serve  as  a  meeting  place  where  people  can  converse,  have  a  cigarette,  and  look  into  the  classroom  as  the  perimeter  to  our  installation  are  the  open  windows  into  it,  thus  creating  interior  and  exterior  interactions.

Epiphanies,  Realizations  and  Discoveries  At  the  beginning  of  this  project,  I  thought  as  a  Design  Director  I’d  be  pulling  all  the  weight  of  the  project  and  in  charge  of  geGng  everything  accomplished,  but  it  turned  out  instead  to  be  the  complete  opposite!    Without  the  help  of  my  design  partner  and  en@re  team,  I  would  have  never  seen  this  project  to  comple@on.    In  fact,  there  were  en@re  days  I  could  not  be  present,  and  the  whole  team  con@nued  to  build  without  me,  with  deL  skill  and  efficiency.    I  have  never  before  been  involved  in  a  group  build,  and  was  completely  blown  away  by  the  collabora@on  of  our  different  strengths  brought  together  in  an  exquisite  fashion  to  accomplish  in  what  seemed  like  a  nearly  unachievable  goal.  I  was  also  shocked  to  find  it  was  indeed  possible  to  create  a  small  scale  model,  and  build  it  life  size,  so  that  one  is  able  to  walk  through  it  –  a  truly  sa@sfying  and  exquisite  experience,  one  that  will  last  me  a  life@me.    As  a  team,  the  project  went  quite  seamlessly,  although  near  the  end  of  our  build  we  had  to  improvise  and  get  inven@ve,  but  I  believe  in  quite  elegant  ways.    Whenever  there  was  a  conflict,  we  would  ask  ques@ons  calmly  un@l  the  best  solu@on  could  be  reached.    With  such  an  incredible  instructor  to  be  our  mentor,  and  set  such  a  high  standard  of  excellence,  we  shaped  wonder  in  ways  we  had  never  dreamed!    I  am  humbled  by  both  my  instructor  and  my  project  partners,  and  am  ever  more  inspired  by  them  to  con@nue  on  this  path  of  illuminated  crea@on.

As  an  environmental  installation,  I  believe  the  work  speaks  for  itself,  and  I  hope  that  it  can  inspire  others  to  seek  beyond  the  realms  of  their  imagination.
