Dormitories are places of activity and social interaction, and in this project the action is focused towards an interior courtyard. The path through the courtyard steps down the further you venture in, creating smaller gath-ering areas, terminating at a sunken study room. The southwest elevation was also eroded away to provide additional private outdoor gathering space for each floor as well as allow additional sunlight to the interior of the building.

Amplitude : Installation : Milwaukee, Wi. Studio:320|Spring2008|Prof:MarkRoehrle

Team:AarronVierck AlexHarm Ben Mather BrianHagstrom Mary Biwer NateLochner Paul Stiedl

Located along Lake Michigan, Amplitude was designed to engage the water and creates a unique experience by taking a common phe-nomenon (waves) and redefines its output. As waves hit the buoy located at the surface of the water, the arm apparatus begins to “flap” like the wings of a bird. The range of motion varies depending on the strength of the waves hitting the buoy.

Kaukauna is one of 135 Energy Initiative Communities in Wisconsin. These communities pledged to have 25% of their energy produced by renewable resources by 2025. Problems in achieving this goal will arise if Kaukauna simply develops according to zoning, so strategies must be implemented in order to guide the planning process to a better future.

Water management was a key focus in Kaukauna’s revitalization. Mul-den-Rigolen drainage systems and green roofs were implemented to help control water run-off and prevent further contamination of the Fox River.

Although this block is not oriented in the optimal direction for solar collection, the upper units are shifted away from the street grid in order to achieve the proper angle. These upper units while being small, pro-vide a unique living space with added energy efficient beneffits. (Energy produced is 165.6% of demand)

By altering existing infrastructure, a bulky highway system was transformed into an elevated greenway acting as a central spine linking together a once disjointed community. This greenway helps promote further development and growth within the area. To accommodate this growing community, two existing struc-tures were re-fitted with pod-units allowing them to adapt to accommodate multiple program requirements.

Symbiosis: CommunityPool:Milwaukee, Wi Studio:420|Spring2010|Prof:ChristineScott-Thompson

A community swimming pool must facilitate both swimmers and on-lookers. These two different users require vastly different accommoda-tions, yet both are there for the enjoyment of the same activity. This situ-ation doesn’t apply only to the buildings patrons, but also to the building itself. Elements for both the dry and wet user must be separated yet work together to create an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Design Concept:

The single wall panel will be a part of a larger facade system which creates an undulat-ing wave pattern across the surface of a building. A series of perferations will be used to create this pattern on the building surface and within cast shadows.

Right: Section of the larger “wave” pattern chosen to be represented by the single panel.

Below: Design process used in realizing the �nal panel.

Space is bounded by surface. By manipulating the this surface, the illusion of depth can be created within a relatvely thin plane. The pattern of bumps creates a literal depth across the panel, but with the implimentation of additional surface treatments (“wave” of drilled holes, hammered texture, and surface patina), the illusion of even greater depth can be achieved within a one inch surface.

Focus : HandArtwork:Drawings/Paintings/Prings Spring2007-Fall2011

Besides architecture, traditional art practices such as drawing, painting, and printmaking have also been a great interest of mine. Creating artwork gives me the opportunity to ex-plore form and visual communication skills through different forms of media. Over the last few years my artwork has focused in on studying the characteristics of hands. As a designer, your hands are an extremely important tool which often gets taken for granted.

RePurpose : SkateboardsasCanvas:Marker/WoodStain Fall2011

The life of a skate deck is often relatively short due to snapping, cracking and/or wearing out. Over time, stacks of worn out skateboards have built up throughout my house, but as skateboarders, we can’t throw them away because they hold sen-timental value. I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can do with these. Blend-ing my passion for art and skateboarding, these once worn out skateboards become a unique canvas for new artwork.
