the rupturechanneling experiential flow with mass timber construction
the use of mass timber in high rise construction is in the midst of exponential growth. the limitless capabilities are being realized; pre-fabrication, massive vertical and horizontal member loading and fiber stress abilities along with a plentiful resource in the northwest region of the united states identifies mass timber as a sustainable choice of designers and builders. understanding the technical aspects of the timber lamination and their constructibility have been of major focus throughout this research, which was led by instructors; todd beyreuther and darrin greichen along with group members; dillon gogarty, trevor gunderson and antonio norsworthy. following research, an iterative emergent system was developed in order to apply a design approach to the site of interest, located on the washignton state university campus in spokane, washington. this emergent system would allow one to define genotypic controls which would be filtered through human experience and through an iterative process, reach a phenotypic result.
spokane, washington
the focus was to understand and apply education as a gateway to improving civic function. the approach was to promote sustainable or ‘lifelong’ learning through experiential design applications. understanding how the human is susceptible to learning was a critical aspect in order to make effective design decisions. research led to the work of mihaly csikszentmihalyi and his concept of flow, or the ‘psychology of optimal experience’.flow is understood as a sense of harmony and union within ones surroundings; one being thoroughly focused on the present; experiencing the feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego; leading to the most rapid state of learning.

architecturally applying the concept of flow required the development of path programs and the characteristics for each program profile type. anxious profile was visualized best as the approach to the rupture; set back, no through-way visible, busy and narrow in width creating an overwhelming sense. arousal would begin to open up, teasing one of the functions going on within the rupture with reflecting light and a sense of the depth. flow is the autoelic or self-motivating space; a clear sense of bustle and action, openness and warm welcoming rays of light which penetrate the space. this space lends those who settle within to be vulnerable and reflect between the city and campus. control begins to become rigid and expected; showcasing places of higher education, business and retail. relaxation is the exit from the city onto campus, this space is very bright and open, inviting those into the heart of the spokane campus and also back into the city.
profile application
through an iterative design process, a radiation analysis was conducted on the surface of the south-facing facade between the equinox. radiation penetration was intentionally guided based on path and building programmatic requirements, manipulable by adjusting the height and degree of angle of each profile applied to the path programs. key entrances were targeted as places needing more radiation exposure, along with atrium/skylight and office space. storefront glazing or mercantile displays were areas chosen for lower levels of direct daylight. the analysis allowed for a responsive facade to be developed for the rupture path and perimeter glazing.

identified profiles at primary and secondary spaces defined along the rupture path

construction documents were completed following the design development phase of our research. researching and developing the various connections for clt panels and how mechanical systems can be integrated with the use of mass timber was a focus. foundation and pile types, wall assembly, clt vertical and horizontal structure, mullion systems and shading systems were documented. innovative design solutions for shading, wall assemblies and wall-to-floor connections were explored throughout research. the programs for both structures include; commercial, assembly, business, office, market and residential spaces.

rather than looking to a singular building for connecting dowtown spokane to the campus, space and the thoughtful application of programs successfully ruptured the void in connectivity. not only does the space within the rupture have a specific role for improving civic function by supporting and promoting sustainable learning, it is surrounded by buildings of important programmatic functions that will guide the growth of the campus and city. providing the community with spaces to buy and sell local goods, conduct business, learn and reside affordably; flow has been reached through the architectural application in building and space.
