Page 3BIOGRAPHY

Paul J. Hauer

Born: Phoenix, Arizona

Grew up: Fairbanks, Alaska

Education:Alaska military Youth Academy- High School DiplomaUniversity of Idaho- Bachelors of Architecture, Masters of Architecture

The play between form and function has always fascinated me. This is what originally drew me to architecture. Being the son of a plumber, I grew up in and around mechanical and fabrica-tion shops which gave me a strong hands on experience and an understanding on how things are designed, prefabricated, and assembled. This understanding combined with a aff ection and capacity for art has made architecture the perfect profession for me.

In 2004 I decided to continue my education at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and the then transferring to the University of Idaho the following year to pursue a professional degree in architecture. My education has been long and sometimes frightening but ultimately a very rewarding experience in which I not only learned the skills of an architect but learned exactly what I am capable of. In addition to learning my capabilities, education has given me time to fi gure out what kind of person I want to be and how I want to use my skills to better the world around me.

As an architect I will design buildings that are economically, environmentally, and locally re-sponsible, buildings that are site oriented and integrated into the environment. I want to be involved in designs that fully implement passive, natural systems that requires no energy in-put and I will to strive for quality, effi ciency, and the development of solutions that encompass the many issues that aff ect the site, community, region, and world. I strongly believe that architecture is much broader than an enclosure, it infl uences our state of mind and is at the forefront of many of the greatest issues facing humanity today.

The Innovation in Engineering Building is a net zero carbon building designed to meet L.E.E.D Platinum. This project was under the direction and guidance of Chris Patano who was the architect on the actual proj-ect being built on a site next to the University of Idaho steam plant and across from the street from the engi-neering buildings.

Chris supplied us with four diff erent rough plans about 25% complete. We formed groups of four took those drawings and developed them up to the documenta-tion stage. Our group consisted Mica Ledger, Blanka Rodriguz and myself. The development of the proj-ect included plan refi nement, program development, structure, envelope components, lighting and day lighting, shading, mechanical, ventilation and heating, lighting and energy analysis.

Within the team, my primary function was that of 3d modeler, systems analysis and overall project develop-ment. In addition I designed and developed the main lighting scheme and shading devices as well as the building envelope.

The envelope consists of horizontal redwood 1x2” slat-ing and masonex concrete fi ber board rain screens, 11-5/8” S.I.P. panels, and 1/2” gypsum and exposed ply-wood S.I.P. backing. This gives the wall an R-value of 58.

Page 5SITE The site is located on 6th and Line Street on the University of Idaho. Di-rectly to the west of site is the university physical plant that produces all of the heart and electricity that is used throughout the campus. The new In-novation in Engineering Building will use only waist heat from the plant for heating and electric-ity. The site is also adja-cent to Paradise Creek and the Paradise Creek Path. Because of its adja-cency to the creek and to have 100% site retention of runoff we used a series of terraced bio-swells to clean any run off prior to it draining into the creek

Prior to designing the envelope and determin-ing where to position photo voltaic panels we modeled the site and surrounding buildings to determine what time of day and year shadow would be cast onto the building. This helped us determine how much solar gain the building would receive and how much power could be generate from the roof area.

SITE SHADING

Page 7STRUCTURESHADING

The building is 100% shaded from May 23- August 23, tuned to Moscow, Idaho’s semi arid climate. There are several main components that make up the shading sys-tem. One the south facade the top shader is angled perpen-dicular the sun on the sum-mer solstice, June 21 at 53 de-grees. The second component is a light shelf that evens and diff use the light allowing it to penetrate deeper into the space. The third components are horizontal shading de-vices that does not block the views of the occupants on the ground fl oor.

The structure consists of two main components, a steel I-beam frame system and cast in place concrete shear walls. This system gives the struc-ture high strength and rigid-ness ensuring a long life and survivability incase of a natu-ral disaster. In addition the al-lows it to be wrapped entirely by S.I.P.s panels making and thermal break from exterior temperatures.

The north face of the front section of the building allows light in through several layers of windows. The exterior most layer is off set from the central hall, over the offi ces by three foot.

On the upper part of the in-terior wall that makes up the central hall is the second layer of windows. The two layers al-low light into the offi ce below and into the hall simultane-ously.

The fi nal layer of windows is across the hall on the up-per part of the wall, light the adjacent space from both the southern atrium and the northern hall.

The interior of the building is laid out in a way to allow light to reach the deepest sections of the building. On the south side of the building there is a two story atrium that runs the full length of the building with windows along the en-tire face letting in diff use light into the second story offi ces and lab work spaces below.

Page 12 SPRING 2009: SOCIAL JUSTICE IS EDUCATION This project was a sub-mission for a national competition that was looking solutions to the United State’s exponen-tial growth of the prison industry. The competi-tion called “Prisoned” was looking for out of the box solutions that address both the prison and the systems that puts people in prison.

Under the direction of Associate Professor, Ran-dal Teal, the project start-ed with vigorous study and research. We studied correctional psychology and read Crime and Pun-ish: The Birth of the Pris-on by Michel Foucault. As part of my research I traveled to the Cotton-wood Correctional Insti-tute and interviewed six inmates, and three staff including two lifers. Af-ter careful research and study I concluded that the primary reason that our prison population has grown is due to so-cial injustice, evident by a lack of education of the prison population.

My focus on the project was to establish a link between education and social change and the circumstances that aff ect an individuals educa-tion. I profi led three indi-viduals and their stories and how they changed

Page 13

The fi rst person profi led was Able Meeropol. During the 1930s, Able was a Jewish high school teacher and writer in the Bronx, he wrote the song “Strange Fruit” as a reaction to seeing the photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Adram Smith. His song was latter made popular Bill Holiday and was a precursor the civil rights movement.

James H. Meredith was the fi rst black man to attend the University of Mississippi and was the second person that profi led. James’s struggle opened up the door for thou-sands of minorities to the pur-sue education in the south.

The fi nal person profi led was Dr. Richard Pimentel. Dr. Pi-mentel was and is an advocate for disabled people through-out the U.S. A Vietnam Vet, he lost most of his hearing when a bomb exploded near him. He returned home to fi nd there were no services to help him with his disability and help him return to school. Due to his eff orts the U.S. adopted the Americans with Disabili-ties Act, changing the lives of disabled people throughout the U.S.

SOCIAL JUSTICE IS EDUCATION America through their personal circumstance and education.

Page 14 SPRING 09: ABLE CHEHALIS

The City of Chehalis, Washington is located south of Olympia about 60 miles along the I-5 corridor. During the spring break up of 2007 and 2008 Chehalis has had major fl ooding, shutting down I-5 which connects Seattle with Portland and runs the entire west coast, and has twice been declared a disaster area by the State of Washing-ton.

There are several conditions that add to Cheha-lis’s fl ooding problem. The fi rst is poor planning. After analyzing the fl ood zone, historic planning,

and current growth, it has been determined that Chehalis has been growing onto the natural fl ood zone due to it being restricted between hills to the east and I-5 to the west. Within the past ten years many box stores have rapidly built on the west side of I-5 into the fl ood zone displacing wa-ter and fl ooding the historic neighborhoods to the east and cutting itself off from the city on the other side of the highway.

Another issue that makes Chehalis more vulner-able to poor planning and greatly reduces its ability to recover is that the average income is ten thousand dollars less than the state average and over nine thousand less than the national average. Making recovery very slow and in most cases recovery never comes.

My proposal is to provide a local market and fi sh farm within the heart of Chehalis’s downtown, up out of the fl ood zone and easily assessable by the locals and a generator of income that

keeps money in the community by keeping the market locally owned.

Page 15ABLE CHEHALIS

The program consists of four components. The fi rst is an open market where local products can be sold. It has a central a open space for shot term selling of good and shops for more permanent soliciting.

The second component is a full time grocery that is attached to the market. It provides goods that could not be locally sourced and dry goods.

The third component is the fi sh farm and restau-rant that use the cradle to cradle process that re-

cycles the cardboard and waist produce from the grocery to raise worms and other produce to sell in the restaurant and the grocery. The worms would then be feed to the fi sh and then sold at the res-taurant and the grocery. Within the fi sh farm there would be troughs for raising the fi sh and observa-tion decks for viewing and dinning.

The fi nal component would be the park with a pond that would be connected at both ends of the fi sh farm. This would a way to exercise the fi sh and evacuate and treat their waste and provide a

place for the community to enjoy and attract wildlife.

Page 17SPRING 07: INTERNATIONAL CONCRETE BLOCK ASSOCIATION COMPETITIONThe International Concrete Block Association (ICBA), Boise chapter puts on a competition every year with the University of Idaho, Architecture Depart-ment to fi nd innovative uses for concrete block. Our pro-fessors found a suitable loca-tion in Moscow, Idaho for a proposed fi re station.

For my submission I proposed to to take the concrete block out of it comfort zone and re-move it from a compression role and suspend it over glass. I broke up the glass into the same 8x16” unit as the con-crete block allowing universal use throughout the entire en-velop.

Page 18 COMPONENT INNOVATIONA 2” concrete block sec-tion made of pavers is suspended over the glass. The section is suspended by vertical and horizontal steel members which is at-tached to the second fl oor rim joist.

Page 19FALL 06: SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, ROW HOUSE PROJECTThe purpose behind the Spo-kane Row House project was to design high density hous-ing in a depressed neighbor-hood in central Spokane and change the neighborhood from a car oriented hard scape into a more residential softer neighborhood that was more inviting for pedes-trian use.

In my proposal I focused and trying to bring light into the narrow and long foot prints of the row house and to design a system that could be used for remodels and retrofi tting of existing structures.

Page 20

As part of the development process I constructed three models and tested the ef-fect of diff erent sized light scoops and pulling the fl oor planes away from the partition wall in an eff ort to get more light into the bot-tom fl oor.

PLACE PRECEDS DIAGRAMPROCESS: the process began with colage-

ing images with architectural e le-ments. after assembl ing several compolat ions we chose the func-t ion of each structure based on the character ist ics of each col lage and the colminat ion as a whole.

OLD, SAY HELLO TO NEW:the images used in my col lages were ruins of european , south-western american indian and central ameican ruin s i tes com-bined with an image of a large vaulted space. after combining the col lages we reviewed the product and and decided on the best func-t ion of whole. my structure turned out to be a resort bui l t f rom exist ing ruins and ref i t ted for modern l i fe.
