0 1

Great architecture is a lasting m e m o r y , a spark of in-spiration, a curiosity. It is a mood, a dream, or a f e e l i n g that stretches beyond its physical form. Architecture always begins as f i c t i o n ; thus, no boundaries should hinder an architect’s imagination. If the design process began with practi-cality, we’d be engineers.

O B J E C T I V E : to design housing units which encourage community in-teraction, are economically efficient, and use the “Green Oak” centers of white oak trees as the primary struc-tural material.

note: the design of this project was done collaboratively, but the drawings are personal works.

Green Oak (G.O.) Research | Students and faculty at UT are work-ing toward developing contemporary construction techniques us-ing un-dried green oak members. Currently, 4x6 centers of white oak logs have low-value uses including railroad ties and palettes because the drying expense for these members is too high to en-able their widespread use structurally.

Microunit Concept | The units are small but functional for a single person or couple. The floorplan shown is of four units which have private porches but share key elements such as walkways and yards. The goal was to foster community but to use as little re-sources as possible. One unit is larger and is handicap accessible.

O B J E C T I V E : to create a living en-vironment in which campers are im-mersed in nature, experiencing Lone Oaks Farm firsthand through sounds, smells, and sights.

Exposure | The cabins line a shallow hill facing South onto Water-fall Pond. The outer layer of fenestration consists of operable win-dows which would remain open during the summer months. Tall screens on the inner walls and clerestory windows on the north walls create airflow and passive cooling.

Each cabin can be completely enclosed and heated during the winter months. Cisterns collect rainwater for use in the bathroom sinks.

O B J E C T I V E : to create a sacred space within the Cemetery where mourning families awaiting a funeral procession can find peace and com-fort. The space is sacred by nature, but the design and materiality of the struc-ture will determine the experience.

Purity of FormBeginning from a pure cube, the experience is a tear, a frac-ture in the heart of a mourning mother or son.

ThresholdThe torn cube formed a thresh-old for the funeral procession, dividing the sacred and the pro-fane spaces.

DescentAn art gallery became a long ramp descending toward the procession path a story below.

Environmental ResponseThe building’s form is like a rock split apart in an earthquake. Indirect sunlight illuminates the paintings.

StitchingAn underground level was added to house the reflection rooms and stitch the buildings together, representing healing.

EAST-WEST SECTIONThe western side of the building is entirely Hall of Honor and procession, and the eastern side is all ad-ministrative space. Between them lies the only piece which geometrically could never have existed before the building was “torn.” The Reflection Cells serve as the stiching between the pieces, evidence that mend-ing is underway.

The two pieces are like shards of rock which were once whole but have broken with time and weather.

O B J E C T I V E : following the explo-ration of sacred space design in the previous project, we were instructed to design a profane counterpart for the cemetery: a visitors’ center.

The challenge was to give profane pro-gram elements sacred value without becoming the cemetery’s focal point.

Re-purpose | Summer 2013 | When I interned at the Knox Heritage Salvage Room I was inspired by the beauty of old wood marked with scratches, chips, and faded paint. I needed assis-tance with the actual assembly, but I developed the design.
