charleston sc_framing the ccdc

professor r. miller

Moving through my first 4 years of architectural educations, I find myself

drawn to interactions within architecture.

These interactions span scale and medium:

the directionality of a screw, the users movement patterns through space,

the variant character of a city,the translation between analog & digital design.

For me these relationships between materials, users, spaces &design processes

are essential to creating multivalent architecture

that performs

functionally,

conceptually,

poetically.

A bike rental depot and apartment building that uses the bicycle as a catalyst for social change. The bicycle is propelled by the user andgiving the user the potential to engage with their surroundings. This building is a hub of a larger community network for bicycle rental. The building—like the bicycle—is self sustaining and engaging. By considering population and relationship to the

university, smaller bike rental points are placed in the towns that neighbor the campus to foster more interaction.

4 SCAPES

TRAFFIC

the French Broad River and an active railroad line border the site that is

purposed to be developed as a residential area. How-ever, a typical develop-

ment, would be a denial of the unique qualities of the culture of Asheville, NC.

The site is isolated from the downtown area, but

artists use the abandoned warehouses as studio

spaces. To invigorate the site, the analog of

converging continents represents the movement

of different subcultures within the Asheville Area:

farming, industry, recreation, and art.

THERMAL ACTIVITY

In addition to representing the masterplan of the site, this drawing displays the areas of high activity with the language of a thermal diagram. These “hotspots” represent the collision of the four scapes on the site.

ANDERSON SC_community axisTRAIN STATIONform as a response to site and functionality

A light rail station in the center of Anderson, SC gives new life to a sputtering downtown area. Built around an existing train line that once provided this city with its livelihood will once again invigorate the area.

Driven by the vectors of the existing rails and shape of the adjacent buildings, this project attempts to blur the lines.

The tapering towers contain the building’s static programatic needs and act as circulation nodes. The movement through the sight wraps around the towers as a response to their position.
