Heavy air | Day Center + Day Caretianjin, ChinaProFessor: blaine
broWnellM.arCH Fall 201401
Located in Tianjin, China this project is about directly
addressing existing air pollution and actively seeking to
re-mediate the air. It is re-creating the experience to be outside
and breath fresh air.
The building creates a protected unconditioned area acting as
the streets and community spaces. With trees and grass throughout
this space, it is creating a protected area to experience being
outdoors while unexposed to the sites poor air quality. The air is
filtered by a carbon eating mesh of Titanium Dioxide Pigment and
further refined passively with the incorporation of trees
throughout the streets.
The programs, a day center for the elderly and day care, are
housed within individual volumes that open out onto the interior
streets. Two levels allow for an interplay between the programs and
fluidity of interaction while each program still contains a center
and is oriented around their own courtyard.
These program spaces are further conditioned with radiant
heating systems and the further one goes into the building, the
more protected they are from the external site conditions while
always having views to reconnect to the site.

A Maggies Center is a place that provides for the non-medical
needs of those with cancer offering practical, emotional and social
support. This Maggies Center is located near to the Masonic Cancer
Center at the University of Minnesota.
The building is about providing a variety of spaces that can
respond to an individuals changing needs as they go through the
long-term process of treatment.
It provides areas for community support - a kitchen and hearth
which are central and highly visible while at the same time,
creating
spaces for contemplation and solitude when needed - all while in
a busy urban environment.
Layers of enclosure, primarily using landscape, ensure that a
level of privacy and quiet is available while creating an
interaction between the street and the building.
The building utilizes daylight with views of smaller gardens to
connect with the landscape and create a building that changes as
the seasons change especially to utilize the high latitude of
Minnesota and potential for dramatically different experiences in
each season.

riparian WetlanD researCH + learning CenterminneaPolis,
mnProFessor: jeFFrey manDyCkM.arCH Fall 201303
loWer level
The area around Lowry Bridge is a space of division. Highway 94
severs people from the river allowing only limited access to this
resource. The industrial uses and their forms contribute to this
division through restricted access and limited connections
separating residential areas west of Hwy 94 and east of the
Mississippi.
The Riparian Wetland Research and Learning Center is about
addressing these divisions between flows and program. It seeks to
be an element that connects people with the river and also one that
connects Minneapolis with the RiverFirst Wetlands.
The building form and program seek to include traces of this
idea of division while its overarching vision is to bring disparate
elements and flows together. This is reflected in the
separation
of the program into two distinct experiences, each with their
own structural system that responds to the scale of space that
those programs require.
One is about research. Responding to the need for longer spans
and larger loads, a steel frame is used that provides flexibility
and strength necessary for the laboratory spaces. The placement of
the windows present a visual connection to the interior activities
while ensuring restricted access with only one primary point of
entrance.
The other is about community outreach. This program is about
relationships and creating more intimate and varied spaces. A
concrete pan and joist system is used reflecting the smaller spaces
required.

tHe Minnesota atlas | Mineralsminnesotateam members: anton +
turgeon-sChrammCatalyst 201204
The Minnesota Atlas explored the natural resources of the state
and, through mapping seemingly unrelated data, sought to discover
new opportunities and processes.
This part of the project examined the minerals in the state.
Peat and iron ore became the focus as they exist in opposite ends
of the spectrum in terms of raw production and distance the
materials travel.
These minerals were mapped in relation to their production,
abundance, and transportation traveled to market. Through this it
was possible to see that
iron ore is Minnesotas largest mineral export however also
travels a great distance and is declining in terms of its quality
and amount. However, while peat is the second least exported
mineral, it is abundant in the north of Minnesota, requires less
processing, and has a far shorter travel to market.
Through examining these minerals with a new lens, alternative
networks and forms of production began to suggest themselves.

The Gummersbach Urban Baseline study examined the context for a
new urban retail center in Germany, exploring the optimal placement
for pedestrian and vehicle movement patterns and routes.
Building upon an initial urban analysis, the existing Through
and To movement were measured.
These measurements looked at the connectivity of the site
including how people could get to the area and how well integrated
it was in the larger movement network.
From these studies, two masterplan options were measured and
recommended to determine their efficiency in increasing
connectivity of the area while respecting the existing urban
fabric.
