ArchitecturAl DesigN portfolio

i thank you very much for taking the time to review these works

and hope they can lead to further discussions between myself and

you.

this DesigN portfolio is a collection of various works that i

have completed during my time at Norwich university as well as

work completed in a professional pratice. these works show some

of my design interest as well as my ablities with various

drafting and rendering styles. examples may include hand drafting

and rendering and computer graphics and renderings.

thesis

[AbstrAct]

this thesis has two goals. the first goal is to

explore the use of a portable shelter system that can be

deployed in disaster sites around the world and attempt two meet

two critical needs; the first being a need forimmediate

shelter and ease of application, the second being the long-term

shelter needs of the displaced population.the second goal for

this thesis is to address the lack of community that the

displaced populations face as they transition into relief sites.

thesis QuestioN: how can architecture address initial basic

survival needs of refugees and then over time adapt to meet cr

itical longer-term requirements of those individuals and their

displaced communities?

[DesiN iNteNt]

a shelter system that is simple to erect, thus providing

immediate relief, and is structurally sound enough to serve as

adequate long-term protection from the elements and relief to

refugees in disaster settings. furthermore, it is the

intent that this shelter system be able to transition from a semi

permanent shelter system to a permanent structure,

addressing the community displacement experienced by disaster

victims. thus, allowing this population to establish initial

bonds and relationships and to keep such relations through the

transition from semi-permanent communities to permanent

communities.

PHYSICAL NEEDS:

PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS:

FOOD: A MINIMUM OF 1200 AND 1500 KILOCALORIES OF FOOD ENERGY IS

REQUIRED PER DAY FOR FEMALES AND MALES RESPECTIVELY, IN ORDER TO

SURVIVE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. IN THE LONG RUN, THE MINIMUM

DAILY REQUIREMENTS OF ALL VITAMINS, MINERALS, AND OTHER BIOCHEMICALS

(SUCH AS ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS AND ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS) ARE ALSO

REQUIRED. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE LOST IN THE WOODS FOR A FEW WEEKS, YOU

CAN GENERALLY SURVIVE ON 1500 KILOCALORIES, ASSUMING THAT YOUR DAILY

ACTIVITY LEVEL IS NOT STRENUOUS OR PHYSICALLY DEMANDING.

WATER:OUR TOTAL REQUIRED AMOUNT OF WATER IS 2.5 LITRES A DAY.

18% MALNOURISHED 32% DEHYDRATED

SHELTER:A BODIES INTERNAL TEMP CAN ONLY SURVIVE UP TO 108F IT STARTS

TO DIE AROUND 105F WHICH IS WHEN THE PROTEINS INSIDE THE BODY BEGIN TO

COOK APART. AS FAR AS THE COLDEST THE HUMAN BODY CAN GET IS IN THE 70F

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER:97% OF THE SURVIVING

POPULATION SUFFERS FROM POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. THIS

PRESENTS A LIFE TREATING PROBLEM THAT IS ON PAR WITH CRITICALLY

INJURED VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER. PTSD IS A DANGER BECAUSE OF ITS

CRIPPLING EFFECTS ON SURVIVORS. PTSD CAUSES THE SURVIVORS TO HAVE

DIFFICULTY SLEEPING, AS WELL AS FLASHBACKS OF THE TRAUMATIC EVENT;

VICTIMS OFTEN CANNOT MOVE PAST THE ANXIETY OF THE DISASTER AND

THERE FOR ARE UNABLE TO THINK ABOUT PRESENT OR FUTURE NEEDS.

the driving design factors that come into play during this

charette consisted of several factors. first was a consideration

of materiality. the exterior skin of the building is comprised of

corrugated metal, rough cut wood, as well as polycarbonate and,

chain link fence. secondly was cost consideration; we were

informed that there was a limited budget for this project so

square footage as well as conditioned space was kept to a

minimum. lastly, integrated into the design of the facility is a

forty foot conex box that will serve not only as lockable

material storage but as a conditioned classroom once construction

is complete.

the ceNter for iNtegrAteD stuDies iN the built eNviroNmeNt was

a design charette for a design build facility that myself and

a partner competed in. our design was chosen and the university

hopes to start the construction document process within the next

three to four years.

the solAr DecAthloN project [rAe(v)house]

[the rAe(v) house DesigN iNteNt]

the solar Decathlon Design team and i focused on a one-truck

portable home that powers itself with a stand-alone photovoltaic

system and is 60% bio-nutrient degradable and 100%

recyclable. this project is currently under consideration for

entry into the solar Decathlon. my personal role in this

project, along with my partner Nick veloso, is to construct a

three-dimensional structural model that shows all framing and

steel-spanning members. the members are designed and drawn with

pinpoint accuracy in preparation for material takeoffs by the

school of construction management. it also acts as the realistic

structural model that the David crawford school of engineering is

currently reviewing for approval. included in this project are

images from other members of the design studio in order to give a

more comprehensive description of the project.

(All team members are cited accordingly).

the solAr DecAthloN is an international competition between

accredited architecture schools around the world. the goal of

the competition is to design and build the most echologicaly and

passively friendly portable home. this design must operate

under power that is self-generated by passive means. As a

second semester senior here at Norwich university, i am part of

an elite design team that has undertaken the solar Decathlon

project.the solar Decathlon Design team and i work in tandem

with several other majors here at Norwich university; among

them are the David crawford school of engineering, the school

of communications, and the school of construction management.

the iDr NoDe project

[the iDr NoDe iNteNt]

Design a spaceframe node that can accommodate various materi-

als from a disaster site to create a temporary structure; used in

conjunction with saplings, pipe goods, nominal cut lumber, etc.

the node is to be cast out of recyclable fiber reinforced plastic

resin.

the iDr NoDe came about as a proposed spaceframe node that could

accommodate anything from metal rods to nominal lumber. the iDr

Node will provide an affordable, easily deployable solution for

disaster relief structures. As my research advances this semester

and summer, i will work with the engineering Department on the

finer points of the design to meet the goal of having a

working marketable product by the end of summer.

the commoN theAter project

[the commoN theAter DesigN iNteNt]

serve the general public as a sustainable and portable

advertising billboard for both urban and rural locations.

it also has the capacity

to serve as an educational

device and entertainment

center.

the commoN theAter DesigN came about as a proposed group design

build project. the common theater is a truncated tower with a

canvas screen that is surface-mounted on one of four sides. the

tower houses a projector system that will project media onto the

canvas screen that is viewable up to five hundred feet away,

giving the tower the title “propaganda machine.” the in-

ner structure consists of kee clamps and schedule steel piping,

reminiscent of scaffolding.the outer skin is comprised of light

weight recycled wooden slats--these slats serve to hide and

protect the inner workings of the tower. finally, the tower is

powered by a stand alone photovoltaic system advertising sus-

tainability.
