Grow Your Own CityFirst Prize | ACSA Timber in the City Competion

Brooklyn, New York | Spring 2013 | Professor Judith Sheine

Collaboration with Jason Evan Rood and Alex Kenton

The Grove in the heart of Grow Your Own City

Grow Your Own City strives to technically and aesthetically celebrate the new building technology of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). This project, located in Red Hook of Brooklyn, New York, will become the assembly hub of Grow Your Own City modular CLT pods. Once the home to the busiest ports in New York, the borough of Red Hook, Brooklyn, had been in a steady economic decline since the 1960’s. The community has a strong heritage, however, living up to the name of Fort Defiance that once graced its shores. Today, Red Hook is one of the largest artisan communities and culinary tourism stops in New York, featuring outdoor recreational areas, urban farms, farmers markets, bicycle races, and arts festivals.

Grow Your Own City aims to enhance the energetic life and community of Red Hook, building on its rich natural and cultural history and serving as a catalyst for urban regeneration and economic growth. The project would create affordable living units that could support a wide range of daily activities, inspire healthy community relations and establish and celebrate the natural forest and ecosystem of the Northeast United States. The bicycle shop, Timber Restaurant, Timber Discovery play area, and green alley highlight Red Hook’s vibrant cycling, culinary and eco-friendly culture. The green alley on the interior of the site adds a valuable urban park area to support recreational activities, neighborhood and community functions, and festivals. The green alley is designed as an educational walk, explaining the lumber industry and the creation of Cross Laminated Timber and other wood products. Lastly, the green alley supports sustainable practices of rainwater harvesting, retention and reuse, solar energy collection through photovoltaic panels, habitat rehabilitation and ecosystem recovery.

Grow Your Own City is a modular based building concept that takes advantage of the material properties, strength and dimensions of Cross Laminated Timber. The design process is based on a prefabricated CLT pod that can be assembled, finished, and shipped from the factory. The pods are stacked on the Red Hook site to form low-rise housing and a tower, with the CLT panels acting as both load-bearing and shear walls. The CLT pod is designed and engineered according to the Cross Laminated Timbers material properties. The façade is panelized with both solid CLT and floor to ceiling windows. Each pod type, whether a studio, living space, or bedroom, is assigned a quantity of shear panel and glazing that forms a pattern on the façade, giving it both regularity and variety.

An Artist Co-op For Granville IslandVancouver BC | Spring 2012 | Professor Stephen Duff

The Artist Co-op for Granville Island was designed while studying abroad in Vancouver, British Columbia. Granville Island is a small island in False Creek, adjacent to downtown Vancouver. The island is primarily occupied by small artist studios. As the island has become popular to tourist, the price to rent studio space has skyrocketed. In one instance, 5 artists share a single 500sqft. studio. This project is intended to create rentable space for emerging artists who cannot yet afford private studios. The co-op also offers workshop space for artist on the island who do not yet have access to large scale equipment. Individual studios, open studios, workshops, and lofts are offered for rent in the co-op. Spatially, private studios are locate on the ground fl oor boardwalk while co-op spaces are located on the second fl oor. A set of grand staircases bring the public up to the co-op artist market and studios.

The design focuses on aspects of contextual modernism. Granville Island is full of historic industrial structures. Many of the buildings contain large open spaces with timber truss spans. In this design, I intended to create a decidedly modern building that recalls the historic fabric of the island. This incorporation of island aesthetics molded the building into a double shed form. The off canter roofs are angled as such to accept the northern sun, giving artists the best natural light to work in.

The island is also owned by the government. Because of that, it is necessary that all studios are open to the public. This jurisdiction ruled the organization of the building. A large open market hall is host to smaller artist who share working. The ground fl oor studios open out to the new boardwalk, giving them strong public access and helping boost art sales. Restaurants and cafes located along the boardwalk draw the public to this end of Granville island, the unique artists make them return.

Converging Cultures PavilionEugene, OR | Fall 2013 | Professor Sebastian Guivernau

Collaboration with Jackie Stinson and Product Design Students Zoey Liu and Amanda Wunderlich

In the summer of 2014, Eugene, Oregon will be hosting the World Junior Track Champion-ships. When tasked with designing a flag display and pavilion for the event, our design team approached the project by first exploring the DNA of the event. What stuck our team about the World Junior Championships is the idea that 175 nations will be coming to one place, Eugene, to compete in one event. The World Junior Track Championship is in one place, and in one idea; a Convergence of Cultures. When further exploring the concept of Converging Cultures, other global phenomenon that bring together divergent cultures were studied. Food became noted as the central theme shared across cultures, a love of food and even more pertinent to the event, a love of sharing food. Food became the central medium for converging cultures within the context of the World Junior Track Championships. From that stance, the flag display and pavilion where merged and an international food festival was programmed for the pavilion. A place was created where athletes and fans alike can eat the foods of the world under the flags of the world.

Pacific Northwest Culinary Arts InstitutePortland, OR | Spring 2011 | Professor Jolie Kerns

The Pacifi c Northwest Culinary Arts Institute, is to be a hub and to the organic foods movement in Portland. Setting a precedent for the way it can be done. A building and program that facilitates the use of organic and local produce, making it an affordable solution to the operation of a culinary arts institute.

Portland and the Willamette Valley region are abundant in organic farms and would be able to suffi ciently provide a majority of the produce, game, and poultry needed to run the institute. When foods are needed that do not grow in the region, an attempt will be made to use Californian produce rather than that from Other countries, and further regions of America. In order to continue the use of local produce into the winter months, a food preservation station will be made. Further more, classes will be arranged in such a way that the heaviest use of foods will be done in there time of harvest.

In order to communicate this use of local foods to the people of Portland, the building will be made in such a way that it clearly illustrates it’s focus. Greenhouses will be an obvious feature of the school as well as a large bioswale, all shouting out that the building and the school is about local produce. The school will also create a brand, a way to become well known in the city. For example, Portland has the famous “Made in Oregon,” sign. The sign has now become both a brand for the city as well as the University of Oregon which occupies the building. In the case of the culinary institute, a fl eet of trucks will drive around the region, gathering produce from local farms on a daily basis. By making the trucks recognizable, awareness of the schools mission can be made.

The goals of this new focus on local produce is to; reduce the carbon footprint of a culinary institute and to breakdown all of the layers that currently separate humans from the origin of their food. When working and eating at the Pacifi c Northwest Culinary Arts Institute, it is to be immediately clear where that food is coming from.

Farming the GreensEugene, OR | Fall 2012 | Professor Jolie Kerns

Over the past five years Laurelwood Golf course has seen drops in golfers and subsequent loss in revenue. Currently, operations are maintained through public subsidy. Laurelwood is routed for closure and private re-development. Without a systemic shift in operations, the citizens of Eugene risk loosing the 93 year-old public green space.

Golfing is on a decline. As the number of golfers drops, golf courses are forced to close their doors. In Eugene, the Laurelwood Golf Course has been struggling to maintain profitability since the peak in golf popularity in the mid 2000’s. The loss of Laurelwood would forever change the landscape of Eugene, removing 90 acres of open park space from the citizens of Eugene.

The 9-holes of Laurelwood Golf Course will be replanted as Laurelwood Farms. The farm will be planted in the footprint of Laurelwood’s 9-holes, utilizing existing irrigation and drainage patterns of the golf course. Use of existing infrastructure will continue with the employment of golf carts for farmer and food transportation and the use of the clubhouse for food processing and sales. Excess fruits and vegetables will be canned on site for use through the winter months. The food produced in the footprint of the golf course will both be sold at the on site market and distributed throughout the 4-J school district for use in their school lunch program. The 4-J school district of Eugene has a mission to provide local and organic foods to their students. By partnering with the farm, they will be able to fully achieve an entirely local vegetable source. Without major modifications to the infrastructure of Laurelwood Golf Course, a community farm can be realized.

The transformation of the golf course into a community farm will help maintain the much loved public green space for the Citizens of Eugene.

Unpaid Rent Unpaid Water Bill Subsidized FutureThe historic Laurelwood golf course will gradually be seceded to Laurelwood farms

The typical response to a decommissioned golf course is to build housing developments. Often presumptuous by nature, these developments level public green space.

Tom Shaw, a student from the University of Oregon, called Laurelwood home in the late 1950’s.

The public green space lost to a privately owned subur-ban housing development.

The current golf course is a historic public green space for Eugene.

During WWII America’s most famous golf course, Augusta National, closed its gates to become a farm with over four hundred head of cattle.

From Laurelwood Farms to the Cafeteria Table

The farm at Laurelwood Golf Course has the potential to provide the entire vegetable demands for the 4-J school district’s lunch program, keeping food sources organic and local. Through school fi eld trips and work opportunities, this farm could provide a unique learning experience for students while main-taining a large enough production level to meet the school district’s entire produce needs.

Building EnclosuresFall 2012 | Professor’s Corner & Rowell

Enclosures deals with the design of building envelopes. In the course, we designed and detailed a wood structured enclo-sure, an aluminum curtain wall, steel structural systems, and a terra cotta tile enclosure. The design and detailing exercises stress the 4 D’s of enclosure; deflection, drainage, drying, and durability. Designs maintain thorough air and water barriers at all locations of the facade.

Details were drawn both freehand and with CAD. Free hand detail drawings were stressed as an effective way to commu-nicate at a construction site or in a meeting. CAD details were used as a more completed deliverable, akin to construction documentation.
