The Living Wall -

the Spring 2010 semester examines full-scale production in relation to site and neighboring strategies. Spatial decisions are the results of a set of cubic cuts and shifts while recognizing parti-wall conditions. Upon completion of design and fabrication, project is installed at Griffis Sculpture Park.

proposed model investigating modularity. each component allowing for on-site assembly

In refining models, students are tocreate strategies to divide or breakdown their model into modular pieces.This process is to allow for on siteassembly, as well as a more effectivemeans of transport.

Modular Components Of Final Models Are Structurally FramedFor Configuration. Connections Between Modular Pieces AndStructural Details of The Model Are Planned.

Groups are to investigateways in structurally detailing theirmodel. In doing so, additionalrequirements such as a pitch roof fordrainage and configuring parti-walltolerance are introduced.

Final modular pieces are to be boltedto each unit, as well as neighboringbuildings and railroad ties foranchoring models.

Model is secured at the 400 acreGriffis Sculpture Park located at6902 Mill Valley Road, East Otto,NY 14729.

Facade Systems -

the main building project for the semester is the design of a market and office building on a site located in the Strip District in Pittsburgh, PA. incorporating a multi-use building system of an envelope, structure and egress. the general program is to include 15,000 sqf. of market space at ground level, and 20,000 sqf. of office space on upper levels. all floors are required elevator access and two enclosed stair towers for emergency exiting.

constructing a wall which will replace the existing double envelope of the Occidental Chemical Building located in Niagara Falls. the completed project should consider issues such as air movement, light, shade and shadow as well as mediation of views from both interior and exterior. develop a secondary and tertiary structure to transfer loads on to the building's structural frame.

Society of Rooms -

design for an Islamic center while making cultural and innovative decisions. investigates the manipulation of light through a ceiling condition whichestablishes a distinct relationship between ciruclation and program. the quality of light through materiality, pattern and form is used as amedium to develope unique spatial conditions.

creating a strategy in distinguishing a society of rooms individually as well as explaining its functioning as a society. Through descriptive, diagramatic and axonometric drawings, the relationship modeled is illustrated into further detail. Drawings explain matter of configuration, circulation and ceiling condition.
