Texas Tech University - ARCH 5502- Pongratz - Fall 10

The Deep Surface Studio intends to explore the possibilities of fabrication with surface repetition, relief and variation. The introduction of milling maching made the initial prototype fabrication process possible in order to create tangible conceptual designs.

Deep Surface Studio*Super Azzurri

Initial Concept

Tile Evolution

The initial strategy for the Super Azzurri piece was to create a surface field that contained variation that could be created with the least number of tiling.

The concentration of variation takes place within the first evolution, where seven tiles are created, then the seven tiles can assembe the next five generations of tile evolutions, which in theory are only 2 tiles (see A & B) rotated along their axis. Therefore when assembled, a field of variation can be accomplished with the least amount of tiles.

Starting geometry Rotate 90 Rotate 180 Rotate 270

Tile Generation Evolution

A preliminary evolution depicting the variation within a field, in this instance the pattern is generated from 10 tile evolutions into 4 tile generations.

Preliminary Evolution

Schematic pattering in 3D, where curve becomes surface.

Surface Relief

Relief not only begins to vary according to the number of curves but through surface height.

Surface Relief Variation

Finalized surface relief with tiling strategy.

Additional Variation Strategy

Final Stacking

Software aided milling simulation was vigorously implemented until desired milling conditions were met.

Changes in the cutting processgreatly affect resulting texture andappearance.

Simulated processes and finishes were:- Horizontal Finishing- Parallel Finishing- Spiral Finishing- 3D Pocketing- Mixed Spiral with Pocketing

Cutting times played an important rolein determining finishes. Intricate or elaborate finishes led to longer cuttingtimes, and smooth simple finisheswere exponentially shorter.

Simulation

After simulations were successfully completed and the milling process began on 2 rigid insulation stock. (Generation Tile B Above)

Final Casts and Color ExperimentA final 3 piece cast of Generation Evolution Type B was created along with a few color experiments utilizing broken plaster casts.

Texas Tech University - ARCH Comprehensive Studio I - Pongratz - Fall 09New construction of a spa/resort in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Actual theraputic processes shall aid the design, while maintaining site integrity.Final design derived from two treatments: Hot Stone massage, and Lomi Lomi massage. A pattern was created from both treatments, program and site conditions.

Texas Tech University - ARCH Studio VI - Hill/Vernooy - Summer 08

Creating an urban intervention in the San Francisco district in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico.Design is unfolded by urban disturbances, primarily on sound pollution and daylighting. Final intent was to create an urban catalyst for the San Francisco district.

Texas Tech University - ARCH Studio IV - Khun Park - Fall 07Design of a cinema in downtown Lubbock, architectural work must be derived from three films: Blade Runner, Wings of Desire and Chunking Express.Two films were used, Wings of Desire and Blade Runner. Design is derived from two main non-human characters that Fall from their initial status. Ground level represents the humanity of the characters.
