For my materials research, I’ve decided to expand upon the very quick “micro study” from earlier in the quarter. For that study, I looked at adaptive fritted glass and light studies with origami paper. For this research, I’ve decided to mesh those two into one category which I’m calling “light and transparency”. All these materials […]

My macro study was the development of a new urban plan for the Freight House Redevelopment District and a study of how to improve the downtown river walk, connecting it to my site and through to the baseball stadium. Previously, I had imagined my Center For Local Foods as providing a […] […] MACRO study From the first initial diagrams I posted in my last post, I developed a site plan which has 4 buildings, each house its own theater, scattered all over the site all the way out to the river. All of which will be connected together through a natural habitat pathway. In my drawings, the […] MICRO I’ve already blogged about the micro study so I won’t re-hash it here – instead see this post. MACRO & REVIEW It seems most appropriate to talk about these two things simultaneously so here goes… I feel like my biggest struggle with this project thus far has been the site planning and its relationship […] My macro study was the development of a new urban plan for the Freight House Redevelopment District and a study of how to improve the downtown river walk, connecting it to my site and through to the baseball stadium. Previously, I had imagined my Center For Local Foods as providing a new extention of the […] Are there more exiting things we can do with concrete that use conventional method in a new way? What if all you had to do was model the shape you wanted to be made from concrete?A script could be applied to generate all the form-work necessary fo… […] A good design manifests itself at all different scales, from the urban or landscape scale to the smallest details. So when I jumped from designing on my 1″=100′ base map to working with a particular material to be used in the final design, I felt it was important to bring with me the same considerations […] […] Looking for some material inspiration? If you haven’t heard of the website & books called Transmaterial check it out! There are lots of really, really cool innovative materials on this site which is a companion to the 3 books of the same name by Blaine Brownell. (Who is currently an assistant professor in the School […] For your Micro study, we want you to zoom into part of your building and imagine what the DNA is like. Read from the place what geological structures, what natural materials are most characteristic. Can you read any clues about how the original ecosystem has been disrupted and what it says about human intervention? Consider […] |
