Design ContinuumTable of ContentsF all 09 - Spring 14 | Trey Meyer

Over my educational studies and professional experience, I have been immersed in learning skill sets, both manually and digitally through projects done individually as well as collaboratively. In improving these skills, I have began to expand my ability to present ideas and process in clear, understandable architectural discourse. The following portfolio is a representation of the skills integrated with design process over my first four and a half years of academic learning and professional experiences.

The studies of the historic site at Fort Ancient, home of the Native American Hopewell Culture, led to an exploration of the opportunities for the built environment to enhance the experience of an individual within a space. The Hopewell culture achieved this relationship to the context through the connection of built forms in the shapes of mounds, directly correlating and responding to the site through the natural elements of the land, sea, & sky. I took a similar approach in my proposal by creating a unique experience where the occupant could begin to grasp a language of natural vs. man-built interventions. This was done with a manipulation of organic vs. rigid structure and framing views, encouraging the connection between the user and the overall experience of the site. The program was separated into lodging, exhibit, and research spaces, with the structure of the intervention became an inviting expression of integrating structure, ventilation, and a vegitated roof into one system. 18

The expectation for the project was to create a center to foster innovation and respond to the suburban context. My focus was to analyze and respond to the creative process through an exploitation of the suburban grid. The orthogonal grid of the existing site was interpreted to become a gradient of angles in which new opportunities of form and program were made available. The occupant was to begin to experience the break in the grid though out the built intervention in the building as well as the site. The overlapping and implementation of existing grids system derives a new identity within the design of juxtaposition and relationship to the context. The conceptualization of the from was a response to the suburban condition with the break in the grid representing a stimulation in creativity from the regular linear projection.

The Vertical Schism is a phrase coined by Rem Koolhaas as, “a systematic exploitation of the deliberate disconnection between stories” (Pg. 105 Delirious New York). The project proposes an interpretation of how this Schism may work through the exploration of circulation as a vertical street in order to respond to the contemporary urban condition. The first four floors, programmed as commercial spaces, act as a base to the armature of circulatory piers and additive units. The units are to be constructed in various scales with individual branding to accommodate the needs and program of the contemporary city. A dialogue is created within the master plan between public and private circulation: public - meandering, private - direct. The form of both the base and tower encourage movement through the space with opportunites for pause.

executed at a variety of scales (i.e.urban, building, & human scale). The project combines computer simulation with the human elements of identifying input data, followed by overlaying the resulting information to create a shattered/fragmented aesthetic in both plan and elevation.

“Parametric Fragmentation” studies the implementation of parametric thinking in design as a strategy for deriving a fluid form that exploits fabric material’s natural, free-flowing capabilities. The goal of the exercise is to create an adaptable system flexible enough to be

The info-graphic to the left relates the process of generating a template to be used as a form driver on any given site. Ideal circulatzory paths were merged together through a Newton attractive force simulation before being seg-mented into points, or social hubs, along the paths. These points were then used to create a fragmented surface using the Rhino+GH tool, Voronoi. The system of Voronoi’s fragmentation is affordable to be used in urban planning, site development, and facade treatment. The system was then applied to foster innovative strategies for fabric in architecture. I identified two uses of fabric: fabric for living and fabric for monument. In the project, two key uses of fabric are identified: ETFE foil panels as a fabric for living and PVC canopies as a fabric for monument. The adaptable system is implemented on two pilot sites, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Langzhong, China, both being located between an urban environment and a body of water. The Langzhong site was derived as a fragmented unit of an overall city master plan created with the same system. A parameter for deriving the form was to elevate the section of a secondary fragment generated by the simulation to create privacy for guests while enhancing the context by allowing pedestrian traffic to flow uninterrupted below the volume.

The precast system is implemented be-tween two sites along the Amtrak rail line in Clemson, SC. The two sites depict two interpretations of the same system: an open, green rural oriented system and a fragmentezdustrial urban oriented system. The master plan of the project includes a ‘greenway’ path which acts a connect-ing corridor between the two sites. Along this path, the sytem begins to morph and adapt to imitate its changing surroundings.
