HELIOS MODULAR SCHOOL SYSTEM

YEAR: Spring 2012

COLLABORATIONS: Prof. Dana Gulling and Alex Backeris

66

Wake County Public School Systems could increase classroom seating by utilizing a demountable and transportable system of prefabricated modules that assemble to support a full-sized campus of 6th-12th graders. The Helios Modular School System pushes ordinary modular design by introduc-ing a variety of social arrangements and classroom types that suggest communal and collaborative learning while improving upon the well-being of students through spatial qualities, day-lighting, circulation, security and aesthetics.

The undulating tri-form is composed of three radial wings linked to a continuous single-loaded corridor. Students are educated to live balanced lifestyles as they rhythmically circulate between the program of the mind [library, science, math classrooms, and horticulture garden], body [gymnasium, cafeteria, healthful living classrooms, locker rooms, and administration], and soul [auditorium, music, drama, and art classes]. The design process was driven by a rapid, iterative decision making system to keep pace investigating mechanical systems and construction details. Assuming that the projectThe roof structure is made up of a series of sweeping glulam beams lift-ing towards the interior. Translucent Kalwall+ Lumira aerogel roofing panels allow for maximum daylight to enter the building while shading could be controlled through dynamic terracotta lou-vers. Air-conditioning units recede behind horizontal terracotta screens to maintain the smooth surface gesture.

RALEIGH URBAN HOUSING MATRIX

1212

YEAR: Spring 2014

COLLABORATIONS: Prof. Tom Barrie and David Gallo

1414

Located between Raleigh’s Fayetteville District, home to the city’s skyscrapers and the Southeast District, a historically black neighborhood comprised mostly of single-family housing, the Raleigh Matrix is a vision that proposes to redefine the American urban fabric. While providing af-fordable housing is its primary purpose, the project transitions residents and visitors from the public city block sidewalks into its intimate micro-communities through an order of scales. A main objective in designing the scheme was to use a matrix in providing a systematic variety of housing units that unify around a flexible space in support of mixing social classes through community organization.

The relatively thin L-schemes of stacked townhouses and apartments allow for daylight to enter on at least two sides of each unit while also providing the ability for cross ventilation through operable windows. The windows are orga-nized around 3 window types that correspond to the interior room functions. The primary building materials for the whole complex is a reinforced concrete underground parking po-dium, storefront retail level, and a wood-frame construction housing level coated with painted stucco accented with wood mullions, sun-shades, railings, and bay windows.

RALEIGH MEDIA ARTS CENTERYEAR: Fall 2012

COLLABORATIONS: Prof. Matt Griffith

2424

Building an art center where the public could visit art exhibitions, watch movies and be educated in contemporary arts would draw more life and attention into Raleigh’s city center. However cohesively fitting the program and its supporting functions on the tight 3,446 square foot site requires an understanding of spatial efficiency, urban site conditions, and their interior/exterior relationships. The proj-ect is grounded upon the tight 3446 sq foot site. and attempts to maximixe gather-ing functions for the public while maintaining pragmatic conditions.

The building is organized by strategically anchoring four service and egress cores into the site. These cores imply the regulated lines to delineate the dimen-sions of the vertically stacked and shifted theater, lobby, library and gallery volumes.

Semi-private support spaces such as the storage rooms, reception desk, offic-es, conference room, and rooftop garden are discreetly tucked away towards the back of the site but are stacked in relation to the floor’s primary function as well as the outdoor views to the existing trees, occasional passing train, and Raleigh skyline. The front façade of the building allots outdoor spaces for bus stop seating, bike racks, ticket box threshold, and a street-front roof terrace. The shimmery media screen wraps around the glazed facades of the protrud-ing library volume to filter western light. The opaque, south-facing party wall formally wraps over the transparent primary volumes while responding to the potential future development of the neighboring vacant lot.

DWELLING FOR A SCULPTORYEAR: Spring 2011

COLLABORATIONS: Prof. Rebecca Necessary

3232

The 60-year-old sculptor works by casting outdoor bronze sculptures to display the public, but wishes to live pri-vately in connection to the landscape.

By assessing the client’s daily activities in proportion to the site through three comparative lenses: work vs living, public vs private, and interior vs exterior, the dwelling is ul-timately formulated with two volumes that emerge from the earth and intertwine towards the forest. As the traversing gesture conforms in plan and elevation, a range of different rooms emerge, each emitting a distinctive experience while suggestively contrasting adjoining rooms, resulting in a spa-tially rich, yet compact resolution.

Using this conceptual framework, the activities are appropriated to each of the rooms depending on the space’s particular quality and situation relative to the other rooms. Because the dwelling is open to visitors, the varying floor lev-els were resolved by defining an intuitive distinction between public and private space . The visitors’ path widens towards expansive spaces and descends with the slope of the site to achieve an instinctive flow of public circulation, while the oc-cupant’s path flows against gravity towards darker pathways in order to deter public access from private spaces. The ex-terior walls are formed in an introverted manner to establish privacy from the neighboring lots while preserving the vivid view towards nature.

PRECEDENT STUDY:SENDAI MEDIATHEQUE

YEAR: Fall 2012

COLLABORATIONS: Prof. Matt Griffith and Andrew Shields

42

Toyo Ito elaborates on the concept of the human body as a fluid while architecture can be seen as a device for storing and transmitting information. These ideas are clearly exempli-fied in the Sendai Mediatheque, which stands as one of the most important works of contemporary architecture.

The essential elements of the building are composed of the tubes, plates and skin. However, the way these elements assemble and are expressed is what reinforces the clarity of the concept. Through the mediums of drawing, diagrams and physical model, the details and tectonics of the architecture were studied and communicated. The building was critically analyzed and diagrammed under five basic architectural lenses: orientation, enclosure, circulation, program, and structure.

The Gifu Kitagata Apartment Buildings was completed in 2001 with intention to pro-vide affordable housing while maximizing living conditions. In order to control the massiveness of the housing block, the whole volume is reduced into a thin slab, randomly perforated by 107 voids (terraces), which allow for glimpses through the building. Through a series of structural pilotis, the ground level is open to access from all directions and is used as bicycle parking. The residential units occupy the second through tenth floors.

Each dwelling unit is made up of a terrace, dining kitchen, bedroom, and Japanese-style tatami room, which are all linked by a narrow sunroom. The bedrooms tend to stack in pairs as they also contain bathroom facilities for efficient plumbing, and the double heighted spaces are linked to a dining kitchen. Each room has its own entrance providing a minimum of 3 access points per apartment and up to five entrances that connect to the exterior. The sunrooms line up along the south facade of the building and the access stairways cascade along the north fa-cade of the volume.

The Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois served as the weekend retreat for Dr. Edith Farnsworth where she could simply relax and engage in her hobbies. The residence sits upon a 60-acre estate site filled with prarie grass and black maple trees along the Fox River. The weekend retreat is made purely of glass, steel, trav-ertine and primavera wood as the minimal framework in turn provides maximal intake of outdoor visibility. The three floating horizontal planes elevate and transition the inhabitants through a series of public, semi-public, semi-private and private spaces. And while the geometry is rigid and pure, the flow of traffic, daylight, and ventilation throughout is fluid and everchanging.
