Siskiyou CoHousing

Site: Portland, ORStudio: Winter and Spring 2014 (Fifth Year)Media: Revit, AutoCAD Photoshop, Illustrator, Copic

Siskiyou Cohousing is an exploration into an ecologically and socially sustainable alternative to the American suburb. Addressing issues of resource consumption and community fragmentation, Siskiyou Cohousing provides the infrastructure for a group to come together in support of inclusive, localized, environmentally conscious living. Located on a former pit mine and landfi ll, the site is a rare, undeveloped parcel in Northeast Portland. Siskiyou Cohousing is designed for low-impact living, integrating building systems with the natural resources on site to provide water and energy. The building enclosures are super-insulated and day lit to reduce the demand for off-site energy sources. To address the social problems of the suburbs, Siskiyou Cohousing uses a greater hierarchy of public and private spaces to create layers of community interaction, supporting both the group and individual lifestyle.

In combination with this terminal studio project, I completed a written thesis for the Robert D. Clark Honors College. This publication includes research on

existing cohousing, an analysis of suburban development in the US, and a written detail of the components of this studio project.

Circulation as Living SpaceUnits are reduced in size and have effi cient circulation spaces. On the ground fl oor, the primary circulation route is widened to allow for a variety of uses within the space. The built-in system also functions as a buffer between units by deadening sound and creating a greater thickness between units.

Public : The public realm consists of public streets and sidewalks. This is where the neighborhood at large navigates through the community.

Semi Private : The semi private realm is the primary circulation network for the community. This is the primary entrance to each unit and where the majority of action occurs.

Private : The private realm takes places within each unit and in the “back yard” of each unit. Private spaces overlook the public spaces, providing an added layer of security and interaction.

The heart of the community is the common house. It is centrally located, for egalitarian purposes, and functions as a social hub for the community. The spaces within the Common house are designed for gathering and social functions. A variety of scales of space are provided, as well as spaces designated for children and adults.

Paisley Field Station

Research stations are temporary areas of focused exploration; they explore a specialized fi eld for a set amount of time. Geologists deal with the earth’s physical structure and the billions of years of history that make it. Paisley, Oregon is a small town with a small town perspective. On the site there is a clash between the infi nite and the minute, the global and the microscopic, the vast expanse and the detail. The coprolites found on the site simultaneously symbolize the signifi cance of humans in the environment and the insignifi cance and impermanence as human infl uence is compared the vastness of Eastern Oregon and geological scale. The goal of this project is to emphasize the temporality of human impact in the natural world and to be sensitive to the interaction between building and landscape. The buildings’ forms are representative of this relationship, as they resists splaying large swaths of impervious surfaces and disrupting the critical area around the caves. The forms are made of elevated, unitized modules that follow the natural topography of the landscape. These serve to create a fl exibility of spaces, as units can be added or subtracted as needed. The modules function both vertically and horizontally, to explore the relationship between living and working spaces throughout the year. Views from the site to the extending landscape, as well as views of the immediate rock formations will play a critical role in the development of solid and void spaces within the building and perhaps be utilized to draw attention to ideas of signifi cance and insignifi cance.

Paisley Station Information Kiosk

The Paisley Caves Information Kiosk Serves to create a connection between the town of Paisley and the neighboring caves. The kiosk elevates visitors off of the physical ground plane and provides views, from various levels, to the fi eld station site and surrounding area. The average 6 ft person can see about 3 miles to the horizon, however, if their viewpoint is elevated to 18 ft they can see 5 miles with the naked eye. The kiosk has fl oor plates at 9 ft, 19 ft, and 27 ft.Additionally, the kiosk takes the form of the basic unit of the research station. It serves as a case study in the development of the research station design. Areas of focus include the relationship between solid and void, the play of heights, and compact circulation.

Rethinking the Bathroom Stall Door

This studio assigned groups to develop a design problem and address it with a solution using kinetic architecture. As a group we decided to focus on the mechanism of the bathroom stall door. In the standard public washroom stall, doors swing either outward or inward. If space is limited, the door will swing inward to allow a clear aisle outside the bank of stalls. An inward swing often makes it difficult to enter the stall and turn around because the swing of the door blocks the interior space and limits rotational mobility. To address this issue we sought to find a solution that allows greater freedom of movement within the stall itself. As a secondary design problem, we addressed the issue of occupancy and vacancy. In most stalls it is visually difficult to tell if a stall is in use. Users often bend over to check for legs beneath the stall door or must knock and disrupt the current occupant. Our solution must therefore clearly indicate whether the stall is occupied or not.As our process developed we decided to pursue a more expensive route, with a context located in a high-end Vancouver restaurant or bar where novelty of the piece made the expense negligible. A location with limited floor area further necessitates this design, as the swing of the door becomes a more obvious hindrance.

Conceptual Ideas

“The Peacock”

Arrays of lightweight material would run along a horizontal upward-facing track that curves downward into a vertical track. The arrays would fl are upward and out at the beginning of the operation, and fold down to form enclosure at their terminus. This mechanism would most likely be hand operated via a crank with gears attached to the track and arrays. The ratio of the gears and crank would be important to fi gure out to determine the speed at which the door opens and closes.

“The Caterpillar”

Arrays of paneled lightweight material would run on vertically oriented U or J-shaped tracks. The panels would start in an upright formation and then slide to overlap or interlock as they travel down the vertical part of the track, forming the enclosure. This mechanism would be hand-operated and would most likely employ a crank with gears to operate it.

“The Fan”

Two offset fans of lightweight material would be mounted to the front of a stall and fan down to form enclosure. This mechanism would most likely be hand operated with a cable and catch gear, much like window blinds would operate.

Wing Attachment

Slotted BallUsing Solidworks we designed a two part piece to fulfill the require-ments for a slotted pulley system. The piece must be able to accom-modate the addition and removal of wings, glide along the track, and have controlled movement. The wing attachment must be a flexible joint that can be easily replaced, while the ball must be able to con-trol rotational and linear movement.

To create a prototype, the pieces were extracted from Solidworks and plugged into a 3D printing program which allowed us to create physical models of the pieces.

Granville Island Art House

The purpose of Granville Island Art House is to serve the local artists of Granville Island and art students of Emily Carr University. Individual studio spaces accommodate established artists and create an environment to both produce and sell art. Larger, group studio spaces are intended to create a collaborative work environment, where students and new artists can work together. As a part of the collaborate work/sell environment, a public workshop provides an area for art classes, shows, and other public events. A formal gallery creates a space for the display and sale of art, in addition to other large community events. A small café will sell artists’ work and create a less formal environment for the appreciation and sale of art.The building has a living component, where artists and students have the ability to live in small spaces that are connected to studios. These living units are also flexible and can be used as additional work units. The individual rooms are intended to cycle through tenants relatively quickly with a month-to-month leasing system. A large communal living space and kitchen accommodates the private artist space and the dwelling units.

Lockets

A cabinet is something that conceals or reveals a specific object. Lockets, while not traditionally considered cabinets, are a form of concealing and revealing a small object of special meaning or significance. Lockets hold family photos, locks of hair, engraved initials, a time piece, or a drop of perfume. Typically these lockets are small, made of a precious metal, and are worn around the neck close to the heart. Ovals, hearts, and circles are the traditional shapes of lockets.The goal of this project is to test the ability of a container to give objects significance. I have collected a series of small objects that represent my experience, and my friends’ experience, in college. While many of these items seem random, there is a story behind each one. Each person has an individual relationship to the objects presented based on their own memories and experience.I created a series of orthogonal lockets, each reduced in some way in order to contain a specific item. These items relate to ten individuals based on my connections with them and the representative object. The lockets are unified by a 1/2” diameter dowel which runs continuously through all twelve pieces.

THE HINGE

These images represent several of the designs that were included in the final collection. The objects that were carried within the lockets include: hair pins, guitar picks, ear plugs, boggle cubes, a list of quotes, maps, pills, sugar cubes, cards, cotton balls, and group photos.

Travel Sketches

While studying abroad in Italy I completed a series of sketches from my travels. Mainly focused in Rome, these sketches include major monuments, piazzas, or areas that I simply enjoyed spending time in. I worked primarily in ink and began to experiment with washes throughout my 8 weeks.

While in Italy, I took several weekend trips, venturing to small towns in Tuscany, as well as Florence and Venice. On these trips I was able to see more of the Italian countryside and spend time simply sitting and observing. People watching is one of my favorite activities. The sketches that I enjoy the most from this trip are the ones where I had a small interaction or conversation with the people who were sitting beside me.

During my internship at 2form Architecture I built presentation models for projects that the fi rm was working on. These models were used to express designs to clients and community leaders.

Designed on a theoretical site, this project is for a prototype house that 2form is developing. Meant to demonstrate how the pieces of a modular home would be shipped and fi t together, this model breaks into pieces, indicative of the assembly process.
