THE

STU

DEN

TI am a student, a designer, a dancer, and an artist. From the beginning I have always held an interest in the arts and the built environment, and I have passionately pursued the architectural discipline for its tectonic and social potential.

Currently I am earning my M.Arch at Clemson University, with a specialization in Digital Ecologies. I am interested in developing an architectural interface that is intelligent, responsive, and environmentally responsible.

ABOUT ME

THE

STU

DIOThe work within this portfolio contains all of the projects from my first studio

course taken at Clemson University (Fall 2013). ARCH 8510 is technically the third semester of the M.Arch curriculum, however, I was granted advanced placement into the 2-year track.

The studio was team-taught by four professors: Dustin Albright, Dan Harding, Ufuk Ersoy, and Carlos Barrios.

THE KIRIGAMI HOUSE

Based upon Robert Frosts poem, The Mending Wall, the notion of the home is one of privacy, as well as neighborly interaction. The landscape of the home folds together to har-bor the interior shelter of living space. As an integrated entity to its surroundings, the bound-aries of the home are punctured and bent to provide visual and spatial intersections between interior and exterior habitats.

P2 HAIKU HOUSE - POROSITY

07

The Haiku House recognizes the important of prexisting conditions, and encourages the user to actively integrate his or herself with the environment. The porous boundaries between interior and exterior, the collective and private, blur the boundaries between habitats, while mainting a sense of security where necessary.

Porosity engages with the architecture to produce a phenomenological, experiential connection with the inhabitants, through the manipulation of spatial sequences and visual axes. Porosity alters the way of living by removing the closed shell of a home.

The spirit passes,lightly through the porous hearth,

The design focuses on making the original schematic concept (porous living), a comfortable living environment by implementing many techniques to control heat and humidity, as well as provide functionality in the wall system.

The main physical components of the concept entail: Dogtrot Vernacular, Porous/Operable Wall System, Suntube Skylights. These pieces pertain to systems that are either responsive to solar conditions, or responsive to wind conditions.

2 DECKING: On-site. Decking and Boardwalks are supported by joists, connecting the separate modules.

3 MODULES: Off-site. Each room is pre-fabricated before being brought to the construction site. Modules use light wood framing, clad with gypsum board on the utility walls and operable curtain walls on the por ous walls.

4 ROOF: Off-site. 5V Crimp metal panels, pre-painted white for reflectivity and energy savings, are cut off-site. They are then assembled, along with the sun-tubes on-site, upon pre-fabricated monoslope wooden trusses.

Each room is a separate module that has all of its components pre-fabricated and assembled off-site, while another construction team simultaneously builds the foundations and rails for the modules to be attached to.

The modules are composed of light wood framing, clad by gypsum board on the utility walls (for economy and flexibility), while the porous walls are made of operable curtain walls with aluminum perforated panels as sun-shading.

Fiber optics have a wide variety of applications, and are highly researched in areas for new sustainable technologies. In architectural applications, fiber optics have the capability to transmit light from within or form one side of a unit to another. Programmed electrical devices that are resposive to exterior conditions can control fiber optics to provide creative sustainable solutions.

Piezoelectric sensors placed within the concrete unit have the ability to detect vibrations from passing traffic. Programming the units to emit light once vibrations exceed a particular threshold can help reduce costs for exterior lighting and light pollution.

CIRACUITRY SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

The capacity for electrical wiring embedded in the concrete, with the addition of light-transmitting fiber optics provideds countless opportunities for smart walls.

This examples shows how a vibration-sensitive wall could work. Piezoelectric Vibration sensors can detect minute or large vibrations passing through the wall, and send the signal to an LED once the reading has passed a pre-ordained threshold. The light from the LED can then be transmitted through the concrete wall, illuminating the exterior space.

This would be a sustainable application for exterior lighting at train stations. The walls could detect when people are passing by the building, and illuminate the space only when necessary--reducing costs for exterior lighting.
