STUDIO I :: MATERIALThis studio dealt with creating spaces and architecture out of the use of material. Using inspiration of real spaces, we modeled how simple these spaces are.

Each space seemed to have a unique element that, when put together in various combinations, created a new and interesting space. Taking these combined MDF spaces, I merged the designs into one that was more narrow, as we fit the architecture into the site.

The site itself is a small strip of empty lot space between two buildings close to downtown Minneapolis. The area is in a Samolian neighborhood and the purpose of the site and for the architecture design was to create a space for local people to gather, hang out, and possibly conduct neighborhood meetings. This cultural neighborhood became the backdrop for the design.

-Somewhat close to park by the river-Very urban setting - lots of apartments with re-staraunts and stores on street level.-commercial feel-Many busy streets with access to mass transit-Biking and walking traffic is around the site, and long trails are further north by the river

-Very close to the park/river front-Industrial setting with many warehouses and industrial buildings nearby-apartments are spread out instead of packed in close-very removed feel where not a lot of heavy traffic, and not close to mass transit-lots of bike trails and walking areas, mostly because of park and Stone Arch Bridge

Sceme 1-With a centrally located building with the class-room and other needed rooms located in build-ings surounding it, it has a protected courtyard feel. This allows for lots of green space around the edges and corners that could be used by children and the public, depending on proogram.

Scheme 2-Placing the massing of the school in the far corner so as not to block the views of residents, allows for spce to open up to the city views. The massing of the school is split up into many seperate buildings, so instead of an inside mall, you have more of a outside mall.

Sceme 1-Using the existing topography, the centrally lo-cated buildings are stacked to occomodate the different heights, and the adjoining buildings are seperate, much like an outside mall. This seperation allows for more development of the green space, and gives hierarchy to the build-ings.

Scheme 2-With the mall feel, this design was meant to mimic the normal mall and street of being very linear with multiple floors. The different floors are there to accomodate the different topography. The linear feel of the building is simple and allows for you to still view the river front and downtown because it is so low.

STUDIO II :: PROGRAMMINGThis studio was a development in design by using program as a major influnce. Using program can inluence design in a way that you are constantly thinking about how a space will be used and interacted in. The basis of our programming for this studio was studying a Montessori and Waldorf school system. Both systems pose interesting design ideas and decisions that together create a unique learning environmemnt.

Using the montessori teachings of connection of the kids to nature, the final design brought the nature to the students. Instead of having one large school, the design is multiple small buildings of individual classrooms. This gives each building lots of natural light and students are always engaged in experiencing the outdoors.

STUDIO III :: SITEThis studio was broken up into 3 stages of design. Stage 1 began with an anlysis of our site. Since the studio is centered on incorporating site as a major key of any architectural design, our project was developed from a large site. The site was the Midtown Greenway in the Heart of Minneapolis, MN. It is a 5 mile long bike and transit path that is below the grade of the normal city, and served as our unique location for designing. After initial anlysis we looked at the context of the site and what city elements defined the site. We looked at transportation, surrounding cultural areas, commercial and residential context, and other related ideas.

We then took those context ideas and designed spaces in the greenway. The context was either based on the design principle of a linear park, intro-ducing a street car, or combining the two into one large programatic design. My partner and I worked with both ideas. We had both done research on each one and we decided to design areas where a street car would have a required stop, and incorporate a park and green space idea into the design.

Collaborative Partners: These people collaborated on this project with the site analysis and the Site research. Those individuals were Joseph Cacek and Victoria Weigand.

N. MINNESOTA CAMPING HUTDesiging a hut for the forest area in Northerm Minnesota proves to be difficult without the proper tools. This project was centered around the learning and familiarizing of the Rhino Design program. The context was to use Rhino to develop a small camping hut that uses a structural sys-tem of formers and stringers. The hut was site specific in a State Park in Northern Min-nesota. We had to consider transportation of the hut to the site, construction on site, and making it small enough to accomodate the program of a hiking, skiing, or camping hut.

N. MINNESOTA CAMPING HUT : CHAIRAfter we designed the hut with stringer former construction, we did material development where we looked into how we would construct something of this size and what materials we would use. The formers were cut from CNC and then strung with red cedar strips. The result was a piece of furniture that would fit in the hut and could be a smaller scale of the hut’s construction.

IT’S KNOT ARCHITECTUREThis project was meant to engage in the analysis, abstraction, construction and rein-terpretation of knots as a means to understanding the complex relationships between space, time, material assemblies and representation.

Start with a knot. Any knot. I chose a noose. This was then translated into a wireframe model in which we interpreted what the knot meant as a function of space. This was then translated into a volumetric study of what the wireframe model represented as a function of spaces surrounding it. Then we took the volumetric design and did a 3D mod-el of spaces and then did a 3D model of the negative space and incorporated the human element. I studied how a human would inhabit and use the space at different scales to tie the project into its final design.

1903 was selected as the general start of my project because it is the yearHarvard University completed the �rst sta-dium to fully use concrete and steel. Har-vard Stadium was created primarily as a result of �re damaging the wooden bleachers at the old Harvard’s Soldiers’ Field. Since wood was becoming too dan-gerous, not only in buildings but also in stadiums, concrete and steel is necessary in modern innovation. The previous foot-ball venues failed to maximize the neces-sary �nancial support that the Harvard football team had. It was mostly funded by a single class donation. Chad S. Seifried and Donna Pastore, “Analyzing the FirstPermanent Professional Baseball and Football Structures in the United States: How Expansionand Renovation Changed Them into Jewel Boxes,” Sport History Review, 40 (2009), 167-96

Shibe Park, known later as Connie Mack Stadium, was a major league baseball park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When it opened in April 12, 1909, it became baseball's �rst steel-and-concrete stadium. Because of innova-tions in steel reinforced concrete con-struction, Shibe stadium was designed by architects in the town who had built the �rst skyscraper in town. They used their experience to build this steel and concrete structure. This material use is becoming more and more used in large structures.

Franklin Field was built for $100,000 and dedicated on April 20, 1895, for the �rst running of the Penn Relays. Deemed by the NCAA as the oldest stadium still oper-ating for football, it was the site of the nation's �rst scoreboard in 1895. This was an important evolution for stadiums all around the country. Scoreboards are something that is seen at every stadium everywhere. It gives the audience and crowd a sense of removal from normal society. It aids in the excitement that people want to feel when they go to a event at a stadium. The scoreboard cre-ated the opportunity for spectacle, which inherently made spectators an integralpart of the event and necessary to ac-commodate. This option materialized be-cause people increasingly shared the ex-periences of sporting contests from a vicarious perspective rather than a physi-cal one. The scoreboard also helped sati-ate the crowd’s desire for more informa-tion

Development of seating

Another important feature of the era is the massive seating expansion of most facilities, which typically saw a second deck positioned on top of single decks along baselines or into out�eld locations. This was due to buisness men pairing up with architects to cram as many people into the stadiums as possible. Prior to expansion, temporary stands consist-ing of a light steel frame and wooden bleacher seats surrounded the playing �eld to reduce its dimensions during only impor-tant events. Limited by their location and by the street grid and willing to capitalize on the growing interest in their game, sports buis-ness men and architects erected large per-manent seating areas using steel and con-crete within the cavernous dimensions of the stadiums. Then they started designing up with levels above the normal seating.

For Example:Past �rst and third, professional baseball fa-cilities generally supported unroofed single-decked section which extended to the left and right �eld foul poles. No early permanent baseball facilities positioned seats in the fair territory of the out�eld and most tried to put their seats close to the �eld of play. Thus, little foul territory existed within the facility be-cause the city street grid limited the size of the grounds. Professional football facilities like Harvard Stadium and Philadelphia’s Frankford Stadium typically positioned most seats along the sidelines. End zone seats ap-peared as the least desirable location for football because they are the farthest from the action.

Location, Location, LocationEvolution and introduction of the grid street system into the urban setting created simple design parameters that extended the build-ings to the edge of streets because land was valuable. The stadiums closely resembled the neighboring buildings at the time because materials used were the same, and the same �rms and architects of buildings were used to make stadiums. Since the street grid has been around since the Romans, and it has been emerging in the 1900’s as a standard for urban design, we see that the stadium must use it to it’s advantage and design its footprint so that it uses every advantage of the grid.

“The Steel-concrete Work of the Harvard Stadium,” 51-54

Location?As the stadium developed into a more irregu-lar shaped building due to �eld shape and seating, you could no longer contain it in a grid system. So developers started to de-velop stadiums in outskirts of town, yet they still wanted them to be accesible to street-cars, subways, and other buisnesses and public venues. Comisky Park and Braves Field did this change successfully.

Section 1910-1915

The Depression:The depression was the single biggest �nancial event in the history of the United States, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the development of the sports stadium. The answer? Light. Not just a light of hope or something at the end of a tunnel, but literal light. Here is what I mean:Major attendance declined all across professional sports during the 1930s because the Great Depression reduced almost all income and eliminated true leisure time for the average middle class sport fan. The sports industries searched for answers to bring people and their money back to the sport facility and gambled by introducing night games.73 The innovative night contests surfaced because Depression Era citizens worked or sought work during daytime hours. Consequently, night time sporting events evolved because it literally existed as the only time games could attract the fans it needed.The introduction of lights to professional sport facilities helped change their image by up-grading their status versus other recreational activities. Lights brought a new type of con-sumer to the professional sport facility because with lights, football and baseball events became a greater spectacle and no longer competed with many other entertainment or lei-sure options o�ered only during daylight hours.Lighting technology also improved and installation costs appeared low enough to provoke the investment by the 1930’s. Cincinnati’s Crosley Field became the �rstMLB facility to install lights.

The Depression Box Seats

Atmosphere of Sports

One of the main reasons people go to these events is for purely social reasons. The atmo-sphere of being at the stadium is one that many can say is euphoric. The comradery be-tween fans of the same team, the rivalry between opposing teams’ fans, the food, light, and sounds, and the pure feeling of escapism you feel when you are in these amazing venues.Unlike retail stores and the majority of service settings, the atmosphere prevailing in a sport stadium not only provides additional value to the core product, but also creates a unique entertainment value. In an article written by Sebastian Uhrich and Martin Ben-kenstein, they talk about how there are a few di�erent reactions to stadiums that make a reaction by people so unique. Here they are: stimuli emanating from the spectators and their behavior, stimuli relating to the architecture of the stadium, stimuli elicited by the organizers, and stimuli caused by the action of the game. All of these stimuli help in creat-ing a unique and engaging atmosphere for the spectator.

During the 1862 season, William Cammeyer enclosed the Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York and began charging admission becoming the �rst "o�cial" stadium in baseball history. The fee was 10¢ and the �rst game featured with a cover charge was played on April 18, 1869 between local players.

Transportation Helped Evolve Baseball and the StadumsRailroad transportation increased knowledge of sporting activities because it tied the northern industrial cities of America together by means of over 90,000 miles of railroads by 1880.25 The Massachusetts version of baseball likely blossomed in Detroit for this reason.

Communication innovations such as the telegraph, telephone, �lm and photog-raphy, and cheaper printable paper notably contributed to the development of the sport as well. The print media promoted sport the best, mainly through increasing knowledge about its rules and current events and through calling on people to enjoy park space. Within the New York area, Chadwick’s baseball guide, Porter’s Spirit of the Times, and the New York Clipper all acted to legiti-mize daily sport reporting by the 1880s.

These facilities also o�ered little amenities much like their temporary predecessors. For example, the start of the �rst permanent concession stand locations really does not surface until Chicago opened Weeghman Park (Wrigley Field) in 1914. Restrooms also appeared left out of the new facilities. For example, the American Architect praised the designers of Franlin Field in 1923 because of the high number of restrooms within the facility and criticized most sport facility designers as they often fail to acknowledge the importance of including a high number of rest-rooms. Franklin Field was one of the �rst to have public restrooms in their buildings, a large innovation for many buildings.

These are the stadiums that de�ned what the stadium is. It may not be the best of the most famous, but the are

iconic in the history of stadiums because they had important innovations in modern stadium design that was a

breakthrough for the �eld.

Financial Bene�ts to BaseballStadiums brought more people. Innovations in technology made it possible to bring more people and sponsors into the stands, which in turn was good buisness for the team owners. Places such as Yankee Stadium had substantiably more seating than any other park. Thus, they had a larger fan base and more pro�ts rolled through their doors. Other parks were forced to expand and thus Baseball became a buisness, rather than a sport.

Key:

How professional football and baseball stadiums provide framework from which we can assess the impact of modernization-Modernization is characterized and de�ned in this work using several perspectives. First, we embrace the ideas of Melvin Adelman who o�ered modernization is characterized by technology and the desire for change toward some achievement. Next, Adelman proposed the for-malization of behavior is also a symbol or characteristic of modernization. As an example, John Bale and human territoriality scholar Robert Sack suggested the rise of rule standardization coincided with the evolving of the sport facility into a specialized site where peopleare restricted, removed, and �ll space in a growing time-conscious society. Essentially, modernization evoked the full segregation of spectators from the competition grounds because sport materialized as something you can pay to see.Melvin L.

Summer winds are warmer but still provide breeze for cooling and ventilation.

Winds are caught in “scoop” of sloped roof. This then takes the hot air that has risen in the house and moves it out the large, back windows.

Large windows counteract the funnel e�ect where the wind speeds up as it goes through a small opening.

Angled wall inmiddle of house creates direction for air to travel. The smaller wall allows for air to �ow over it instead of stopping it. The overall open �oor plan also helps the air �ow better.

During the winter, the sun has a larger footprint than in the summer. This helps the build-ing heat using solar energy. The wall and �oor act as solar massing that heats up during the day and releases heat durig the night.

Re�ective glass keeps some solar energy in the house and continues to help in heating.

Solar massing heats up during the day and releases heat during the night.

Tree line in the summer creates a slight barrier the break wind and lessen the impact of hot, moving air on the house.

Summer winds move quickly through the building sweep-ing away any hot air and allowing for more hot air to rise in the house and be taken away from the wind continu-ously.

Side windows allow for angled winds to exit and leave easily.

Large windows allow for large masses of air to leave hot building.

During the winter months, the angle of the sun is low, so the sun has a lot of in�uence on solar heating of the building. In the winter you need it more anyway.

Large amount of glazing alows for re�ection of sun in winter time back into the house, further increasing the solar containment of the house.

Clear story windows alow for lots of winter sunlight to enter the house above eye level, giving a better way of lighting and heating the space.

Solar Massing heated during the day, released at night.
