Clifton Library

The design of the library allows for viewing the areas of circulation so people feel engaged.Previous image are layered plans of my pro-cess work that shows the development of circulation patterns within the building.Process:

1. Layout spaces defi ning interrelationships with programming.2. Possible circulation patterns through spaces.3. Redefi ne spaces in accordance with circulation fl ow.4. Refi ne circulation patterns into two producing a 1,1,2,1,1,2,1 pattern.

Clifton, OHFluid Circulation | Engagement

These fi nal plans show the circulation patterns. Built elements such as glass partition walls and different fl oor material emphasize and reinforce the movement through the building.

Westcott House

A three-inch cube divided into seven one inch cubes, three bisected diagonally, and three quadrisected diagonally.

Challeneged the conventions of opening a box.Exlpored the design of the corner.

Frobel's Gift Set

Objectives:To explore the form, space, and pattern as dis-covered through the exploration of Friedrich Eilhelm August Frobel’s fi fth gift set and it’s con-nection to the Prairie School residential plan-ning of Frank Lloyd Wright.To develop mastery of form/space relation-ships and abstract planning principles leading to the development of the architectural plan at the level of the individual buildingand site. The block constructions we assembled as a group. I did the refi ned construction and drawings for additive and serenity.

Block ConstructionsAdditive | Serenity | Serendipity

To explore principles of spatial weaving and then apply at the scale of the architectural site.To create woven paper artifacts that explore the spatial weaving concepts evidenced in the Frobel Gift Set Block Constructions and the Westcott House Site and as a preamble to site design.At the Westcott House we documented a spatial sequence through photography and sketches. As a group of three, we collaborated and concentrated on similar spatial conditions. The focus was on the light and the transitions of different qualities. The paper weave of this experience utilizes arches to highlight mo-ments of transition and varying height to give a sense of hierarchy.

Weaving ConstructionsAdditive | Site

The development of the master site plan utilizes the principles from the Westcott weave.We determine the areas of transition, defi ne a hierarchy to the programming, and integrate emotive qualities in the spatial expe-rience.

A grid we developed across the site denotes the zones of transition. Then placing programming on the site, we molded the topography to reinforce the experience of transitioning. The Visitor Center’s location is the most important transition across the site where one goes from this new site and onto experiencing the Westcott House.

The Visitor Center is a place of transition integrating inside and outside relationships. The visitor experiences the change in topog-raphy through our stair and ramp system in the center of the space. Within this system we propose that grass bleeds into the stairs creat-ing this inside/outside relationship. Addition-ally, trees would be planted in the stair and ramp system forming this blend with the steel columns further integrating inside and outside relationships.

The Museum of Ancient Life

A For Profi t group plans to build an Archaeology Center near the corner of Washington Street and Neil Street, adjacent to the existing Orpheum Children’s Museum. The facility will serve as a museum and a research center. The new facility will feature a museum exhibit room which will display a reconstruct-ed skeleton of a small Tyrannosaurus Rex.

ProgramChampaign, IL

Designing for the Champaign area, I want a building suitable for the area. A design that encourages community. The surrounding build-ings are mostly rundown brick warehouses. My design respects the area’s history and reutilizes the warehouse program. Inspiration derived from images of warehouse art galleries and exhibition spaces within central atriums. These images inspired the form of my design.

Central atrium: light | vertical | processes down into the space | voidSecondary spaces: horizontal | bays | support-ing space | main circulationPrivate spaces: anchoring | darker | mass

PartiConcept Images | Process Sketches

Upon crossing the threshold of the museum, the t-rex is presented below, drawing one to processes down into the earth. This main exhibition space is heightened by the central atrium space allowing light to reach the t-rex on the lower level. One can view the t-rex from the supporting spaces of the atrium. These horizontal circulation and observation spaces anchor and emphasize the focal atrium. The rooted horizontal spaces give weight to the space, where light enters from above drawing focus on the vertical center space while solid vertical structure encloses the space and draws your eye up to view exposed solid structural system enabling the contrasting light open space of the atrium.

The grid organizes the structure and spaces for the design. The design also utilizes the structure to regulate the aesthetics of the building. Therefore the main structural frame is refl ected on the exterior through reveals in the walls. Channels and angles are placed in the facades at the location of main structural columns and beams.

The library has a raised fl oor plenum that the supply air is supplied throughout the plenum and has duct work to ensure that air reaches the far end of the plenum. The return air is drawn into wall grills at the tops of these light columns (at the ends of the bookcases) and down into the fl oor.

Material selection is chosen to aestheti-cally suite the area. Additionally, materials are recycled or reclaimed material, which receive LEED points. Materials include reclaimed brick from local warehouses, recycled steel, recycled titanium zinc standing seam roof, and YKK AP thermally broken window and curtain wall products. Other LEED tactics utilized are raingardens on the North side on each side of the plaza. Storm water is also recollected into the building from gutters. The atrium space has operable clerestory windows allowing for natural ventillation another sustainable tactic.

Best in Class Thermal PerformanceYOW 350 XT achieves state of the art energy performance whileutilizing standard 1" insulating glass. Innovative design attributesminimize energy loss through a multitude of thermal barriers. Thisfactory glazed window wall system has an overall depth of 3-1/2" andis thermally broken by a combination of MegaTherm® Thermal Breaksand gasketing to insulate multiple air chambers. Improved occupantcomfort is achieved by interior surfaces that are significantly warmerthan traditional window systems in cold climates.

Product BenefitsUp to 30% greater energy efficiency than traditional thermally broken systems – accepts a variety of glazing options, spacers, and gas fills for even greater efficiency

Thermal StrutsConstructed of polyamide 6/6 with glass fibers on all threeaxes, YKK AP’s MegaTherm® technology delivers high-endthermal, structural and durable performance. Its compositiondelivers a highly effective thermal barrier that is five hundred times more efficient. Since exterior components can be finished before assembly, dual finishes can be used to meet design requirements.

Foamed Polymer InsertsImprove U-factor, Condensation Resistance Factor, and sound deadening

Cavity Gasket and Triple Hollow StrutIncorporates air baffles to break the convection of energy within the glazing pocket, yielding a warmer interior metal surface.

Air Tight GasketInsulates the air cavity between the frame and the operable sash to minimize heat flow within the air cavity when in the closed position.

Occupant ComfortIn addition to lowering energy bills, YOW 350 XT alsoimproves occupant comfort. A person can detect the changeof a few degrees in temperature on exposed flesh. Raisingthe interior temperature by 10º–20º or more, as shown in the Thermal Images, increases comfort drastically. Occupantcomfort is also increased by lowered window interiorsurface temperatures during summer months.

Several features on the YOW 350 XT are patent-pending.
