Nomad is a design proposal seeking to recharge Californias main

aquifers by situating infiltration basins along the Sacramento and

San Joaquin River systems. Recharging the aquifer seeds California

with the potential for a future without water scarcity issues; a future

in which water is readily available for drinking, farming, habitat

growth and general needs of the population. The proposals premise

envisions a post-oil future, rendering abandoned oil platforms located

beside Californias west coast without purpose. Salvaging one such

object may appear paradoxical, but re-using a prior infrastructural

mechanism with a positive purpose reinterprets its previous negative

denotation.

_ Decommissioned oil platform Sacramento & San Joaquin Rivers Redding, Chico, Sacramento, Fresno

Problem:

Tightly compacted soil and an

abundance of hard surfaces

leaves no refuge for rainwater

and the water currently forced

back into the ocean. Once water

gains salinity, it must undergo

an expensive process in order to

become usable to humans. The

lack of water-retention swales

and reservoirs has left Californias

aquifers depleted, leading to an

abundance of water shortages.

Currently the state depends on

ground water overdraft, a practice

which cannot continue indefinitely

because it is the process of

extracting groundwater beyond

the equilibrium yield of the aquifer.

Solution:

There is a need to replenish

Californias aquifers by introducing

situations which promote the

percolation of rainwater back

into the soil. Infiltration basins built

within close proximity to river

systems fill this role. The creation

of water supply resources lead

to flood prevention measures,

equalization of the hydrological

cycle and re-growth of ecological

habitat. Despite the hydrological

degradation from previous

generations, the earths elasticity

allows the opportunity to re-

introduce adequate volumes of

freshwater back to natural

ecosystems.

and its valuable impact on Californias landscape. Once

reaching its destination, the platform is dismantled.

Life Cycle_progression of events

As an infrastructural insurgent, both direct and indirect

effects proceed from the platforms presence. It is

directly responsible for excavating infiltration basins,

installing contextually urban water turbines and

incubating catalyst vegetation for each basin habitat.

When docked at an urban site, the platform shifts

to assume the needs of the public, reacting to the

flux which characterizes a vibrant urban condition.

Indirectly, the growth and health of the larger urban

system is affected by the platforms potential to

alter the flow of the urban system additionally after

the platforms departure. Established ecological

rehabilitation zones surrounding the basins ensure the

initiatives legacy after the journeys completion and

platform demolition.

Level one is accessible to the public when the platform is docked at

various port cities. Interior programmatic flexibly allows for change

of onboard functions depending on location or an eras needs. The

docking of the vessel at each port city marks the beginning of a new

planting cycle in the nursery on level two. After departing, young

plants are distributed to each sequential basin until the next city

is reached. The cyclical renewal promotes native planting in each

region of California. Level three is an outdoor/indoor observation

Designing for a new era signifies fabricating an architecture derived from that which we cannot see. This was an exercise in visually designing the citys future architecture and interpreting energies which are foreign to the eye. Macroscopic narratives are invented as the structure duplicates itself across the city to combat the canyon effect, which causes pollutants to coagulate between high-rise buildings with impermeable facades. Macroscopically, pollutants are removed from the atmosphere by the filtration panels and their movements are recorded daily to be replayed the evening while illuminated.

The pavilion represents a suggested narrative of the Grand

Tour; a noble rite of passage in the construction of our

profession. Through section, we are met with a familiar typology,

each screen an iconic representation of its associated whole.

The interim space between each section has a transitory quality

due to its variable pattern. Through the ceremonial process of

graduation, each year the construct renews itself by creating

a new spatial scenario through the interchange of pieces and

ceiling components.

The proposed design for Truck to Table is an application of new-life reuse and adaptation through transformation of material. Unused food trucks are decommissioned every year, unfortunately coming to rest in landfills or scrap yards. This street furniture seeks to find new meaning for the materiality and spirit of these once vibrant enterprises by modifying their use from serving food to residing as an eating surface. All surfaces and structural components for the design are patterned from the skin of a salvaged trucks utilizing side, front and underbody components. Due to the homogenous surface used for both table surface and structure, strength is derived by folding each material, generating more rigidity for pieces such as supporting ribs. Oddities in the trucks skin are celebrated as they create uniqueness and variation between the final products.

The tables are aligned on the site in a similar pattern to the arrangement of adjacent food trucks. Linear repetition beside the shoreline brings definition to the design by grounding the subjects as a whole, leaving variation to differences found within each design. Each table dynamically changes through time as people, bicycles and herbs are plugged into each component, resulting in a varied experience with each visit. The structure is complete with the addition of turf blocks, subsequently grounding the design.

The proposed design lies in the heart of the Arts District, a vibrant and culturally significant area of Dallas, Texas. The project intends to create a suitable educational hub for the rising Dallas fashion scene, while incorporating a museum component as a effort to welcome visitors to the site. The DFI+M is a program for upper level study abroad students to advance in aspects of a collection design.

The DFI+M bridges the gap between the private and public realms of fashion offering the general public insight into this intimate industry. This idea is accomplished by exploring the universality of a runway. The highly visible location of the second floor runway activates the plaza by unifying view, as a central focal point is established. During the day collections of dresses are visible in the runway corridor while on select evenings the space transforms into an event location displaying up-to-date fashion trends. The runway also operates as the building spine central circulation corridor, feeding all other spaces. The monumental museum space, located on the first floor, displays historically influential clothing collections representing the industries past life. The uppermost floors are reserved for the fashion institute. The cyclical nature of fashion is reinforced as DFIs programmatic organization from bottom floor to top floor represents the past, present and future of fashion.

Right: Dallas is a city of retaining walls and fences, rendering views into interior spaces nearly impossible. This observation led to multiple iterations of balcony and bridge details, elevating the public above the top of the fence threshold. This idea finally found fruition in the elevated public runway/museum space and lawn plaza sitting to the south of the proposed design.

The site for Chicagos Philharmonic Hall completes Burnhams

envisioned plan for the citys waterfront. The Philharmonic Hall

was formed as a complex; a peninsula of suspended parts over

Lake Michigan, leaving the north part of the site as public park

space. The climatic conditions of Chicago offered an opportunity

to examine a new perspective on adaptive architecture; an

architecture responding to seasonal change as humans do with

clothing. Therefore, an architectural typology was created to

transform into its own micro climate based on external weather

conditions. In this mechanistic approach, Chicagos summer heat is

more comfortable and the severity of the winter wind is diminished.

In summer, the individual buildings are revealed and an openness

is experienced as visitors walk through the open air promenade.

This scenario utilizes wind from Lake Michigan to cool visitors as

well as shading devices. In colder temperatures an external shell,

formerly collapsed around the perimeter of the entire structure,

encapsulates the complex. The interim enclosure captures the

suns heat, offering an alternative to actively heating the space.

A buffer is simultaneously formed transversely reducing the

amount of energy needed to heat the interior buildings. The

perceived sense of enclosure additionally enhances innate

emotions of warmth and safety. Aesthetically and emotionally,

the dichotomy between summer and winter spaces fuse the

natural and built worlds, both participating in cyclical processes.

26

The outside glass facade of the building folds up and

down due to seasonal change. The diagram to the

right demonstrates the progression of the triangular

facade structure condensing. Designated in grey,

the internal volume compresses to a thin plenum.

The winter roof plane thus becomes the summer

structures floor.

From the beginning of the design phase, the aim was to

provoke a sense of community by giving the public ample plaza

space with nodes of informed activity. To achieve this notion,

a walkway extends around the entirety of the complex and is

open to the public all year round. Two enclosed gardens give

visitors a place of respite in summer or winter along with a

sculpture garden which occupies the roof level of the restaurant.

Adjacent to the shop and lounge is a small elevated stage and

gathering space intended for impromptu performances.

The site given is the Newcastle Harbour Front Honeysuckle

Development. This project called for an open air music facility

including a public plaza and developed liminal condition between

land and sea. The solution was a holistic proposal, blending

green space with the urban, industrial context of Newcastle. To

accommodate the necessary volumetric needs for the concert

venue, a large span roof provides shelter while minimizing vertical

structural elements.

The large scope of the project also included examining circulation

paths from the train station to the venue. Wickham train station is the

final station line; thus, high quantities of pedestrians are expected. A

bridge was proposed to control and transport crowds across a busy

roadway.

The harbour is the lifeline of the city, acting as the main artery,

transporting coal from Newcastle to locations around the world.

Large vessels consistently pace the harbour, becoming a visual

skipping stone to the iconic landmarks intermittently dispersed upon

the opposite side of the waters edge. Nobbies point, the granary

and sailboat dock are three such notable markers. I sought to

reconnect these seemingly unobtainable objects of desire to the

viewer on Honeysuckle Drive through the viewing portals, while the

stage backdrop focuses attention on the lyrical quality of a tanker

gliding effortlessly to its loading dock.

This was an exercise in using reclaimed materials

that would have likely been destined to a

landfill. Our precedents included products

from Modern Cabana, Kithaus and Modern

Shed - all prefabricated kits/spaces designed

for the suburban backyard and assembled

by the consumer or by hiring a contractor. The

precedents we examined were expandable and

considered as outbuildings linked to the primary

structure by walkways and other landscape

features. The precedents utilized a range of

programs: i.e., a guesthouse, a pool house, a

workshop, an art studio, etc.

Our prototype, developed and built full scale

by the entire studio, is 100 square feet and

was conceived as a series of flat and L-shaped

components for the floor, roof and walls.

We chose to locate the unit behind the 1954

Snower House in Kansas City by Marcel Breuer.

This example of Fifties Modernism was chosen

over typical suburban homes as a means of

focusing on the abstract patterning that is

apparent in its use of plain and patterned

concrete block, wood siding and De Stijl

characteristics. Our prototype attempts to

draw on pattern as a systematic guideline

to assemble found materials that often require

overlap and stagger in order to function as

structure or skin. This notion of pattern is also

found in the transformation of suburban areas

over time, where boats, pools, porches, sheds,

landscape features, etc., were placed in the back

and side yards of homes in order to provide

the owner greater functionality or the sense

that their home is episodic with ever changing

function.Snower House

Lower right: The series of images were explorations in

modularity and recycled materials before commencing on the

main project.

In images 1+2, I collected recycled steel tubes as building

members and used wire to fasten the objects. Next, I

established building codes such as only threads can touch

other threads and an overall size limitation in an attempt to

create a systematically organized form. After a few trials of

placing, attaching and recording placement, I ended with the

model below.

Images 3+4 are part of the next assignment of the studio in

which each group was given limitations on paper L module

sizes. We were asked to demonstrate techniques of creating

space based on connections between members.

Our prototype operates on a simple variation

(an anecdotal theme) as the black paint renders

the patterned and reverse mounted vinyl

siding and modulated wood trim, into a mostly

autonomous box. The box is subsequently

fractured by a transformational south wall

paving the way toward a more random interior

patterning of modular panels and skylights. Our

choice of utilizing a rotated full length-dressing

mirror affixed on an interior wall concludes the

desire to reference/re-dux the original house in

as many patterned ways as possible.
