Passion\\

I want to inspire people and get them excited about quality driven

design. I want to make architecture relevant to as many people as I

possible can. The best way to go about achieving this goal is to work

passionately and respectfully.

I believe that the quality of my work depends on the quality of my

relationships, inspirations and the intensity of passion for the work.

This portfolio contains work that is the result of passion, inspiration

and constructive relationships.

There are a variety of intelligences. Some excel at understanding their body like a dancer

or athlete, while others understand numbers like a mathematician or physicist. We spend

countless hours developing these intelligences. I have always been attracted to creating

and reading images. An image can contain the subtle, implicit messages of poetry and

simultaneously have the complex structure of confusing mathematical equations. As a

student of architecture and fi ne art it is important for me to continue to develop these

skills. Being visually articulate is as important to me as literacy.

For the completion of my M.Arch at Washington State University I chose to examine the creative process.

I conducted a series of experiments emulating the design of a residential co-op housing project in Fremont

Seattle, WA. A series of design charrettes acted as barometers to the depth and content of my work. Which

included models, surveys, studies, drawings, videos, paintings, installations, and presentations. Some of the

work was analytical and straight forward and some was grounded by mere curiosity. Ultimately my work was

about studying the value of serendipity, reciprocity, curiosity and perseverance not designing a building.

It’s natural to start the design process with a pencil and it’s rare that the fi nal design is presented

without a computer. Culturally, I believe that architects have moved past an analog vs. digital

paradigm and now see the computer as a benefi cial counterpart to drawing by hand in the design

process. Each method has its own drawbacks, but as your mastery of the tool increases so does your

ability to mitigate the drawbacks. Each tool also has a tendency to promote a particular set of design

choices. (Imagine drawing complicated angles on the computer when it is set to snap at increments

of 90o.) The top set of studies were completely drawn by hand, the second set used a combination of

analog and digital techniques, and the third set were drawn with a mouse and keyboard.

Brainstorm Modeling \\

While architectural modeling is becoming more digital every year, I fi nd building physical models in

appropriate situations is increasingly important. The ability to physically interact with models and

materials, allowed me to brainstorm and explore design solutions. I also noticed that models, when

models are accompanied by fi gures of people, became more architectural. (Perhaps an unclever

observation, but a very important one.)

is modeled with a horizontal succession of styrofoam layers.

From Workshop to Exhibition \\

To conclude my M.Arch I exhibited my work in Gallery III of the Fine Arts Building at Washington

State University. On display was a collection of models, drawings, paintings, videos, photographs,

installations and several surveys. The transformation that took place when I brought my material from

the workshop to the exhibition was extremely rewarding and reinforced my belief in the contingency

of value. Value is not inherent or autonomous, it is ascribed by perception.

Above: Vignettes from some of the models. Each model was inspired by a

different type of room (from left to right): entry, reading, lookout. Opposite (From

STUDIO PROJECTS

Page 20: Bradly Gunn - Portfolio

The vertical farm was a response to urban paths in San Francisco. The driving

principled of the design was to encourage the revitalization of the water front by

extending the urban path from chinatown to the San Francisco Bay. Pedestrians

can walk through low-level development, high-rise development, urban parks,

sequestered courtyards, bamboo forests, kelp forests and out into the San

Francisco Bay.

Bamboo Forest + Kelp Garden\\

The urban path terminates in an under water viewing room and an above water platform. One can

either take a gradual descent into the kelp forest or a quick plunge into the San Francisco Bay. The

hydroponically grown vegetables face south, while the north side has a cafe and tidal pool on the

fi rst fl oor, hanging sculpture garden (2nd), and a viewing platform in the middle of the bamboo forest

(5th).

“The Everyday Imagery of Space in Los Angels” by Jerome Monnet was the starting point for this

project. In this publication, he collected post cards from various sites across LA as a means to identify

symbols of Los Angeles identity as a place. The most common symbols are those seen below: palm

trees, mountains, high-rise buildings, coast, freeway.

Working with Units\\

different type of room (from left to right): entry, reading, lookout.

Opposite: fl oor plans.

Using a strict two foot grid, residential units rest on top of a boutique retail space and are anchored

by a private shaded garden on the west. The south facade shows the modularity of the units and

monolithic uniformity of the commercial space. Collapsible screens shade the residential units from

the hot sun while voids act as thermal chimneys.

Boutique Retai l + Row Houses Above the Street\\

The primary facade faces out toward Broadway. Grounded by the commercial space that is entirely

made out of a 2’x 2’ texture rich, translucent box. Boxes can either be faced inward to act as shelf or

they can be faced outward acting as a traditional display, offering the pedestrian a clear view at the

products for sale. Each residential unit has a separate and defi ned entrance. Voids through the center

of each unit act as a light well and a thermal chimney.

As a child I spent my time exploring the seventy fi ve acres of forest my family owned. Being home

schooled meant that while other kids my age where sitting in class, I was running around pretending

grass was hot lava and sticks where guns. When designing an art school for downtown San Francisco I

immediately thought of my own childhood. I wanted the school to become rich and stimulating like the

forest; a counter to stale academic environments. The school was designed to be texturally rich and

have dappled light, dark places of seclusion and open bright places of exposer.

Documenting Context: Diversity in the Streetscape\\

After visiting San Francisco, I found the streetscape diversity is one of the city’s most striking

qualities. The proposed site for the art school was at the intersection North Beach meats Chinatown

meets Russian hill meets the Historic District. I wanted to pick up on the various things going on

around the site: the alley like atmosphere of Chinatown, the grandness of the Bank of America tower,

the quaintness of the Historic District.

Plans + Development of South-Western Facade

Both the plans and elevations went through multiple design

changes during development. With less programmatic reasonability

the facade is allowed to be more expressive (as one might expect

from an art school), while the plan maintains the functionality of a

simplifi ed geometry.

Winner of the 2009 WSU Masonry Competition, this small library

for Pullman, WA focused on creating public outdoor space and

three different area’s for library patrons. The upper fl oor is quiet

with a north facing reading room, the main fl oor has a community

room and children’s area taking on the personality of a bookstore.

The lower level is has computers and lounge space for teens.

Mapping is usually thought as tools for physical navigation, but they can also be used as tools for

understanding a variety of features and relationships. As a class project we were asked to map the Colton

grain silo. I chose to map the effort it took a person to construct the silo. I started by counting the nails in

several three foot squares. After establishing an average nails per square foot I calculated the approximate

number of nails in the silo. I then documented the effort it took to build the Colton grain silo by hand.

‘ M a p p i n g ’

Measuring Embodied Energy with Sweat \\

Above: As a means of documenting the effort it to construct the

Colton grain silo I hammered a plate steel over 3,000 times. After

more than hour and less then one percent of the estimated hammer

swings, I gave up with blisters and a bloody thumb. A short excerpt of

the experiment is available to watch at my online portfolio.

Often we try to solve problems with complex gadgets that address a multitude of problems. In partnership with

Olson|Kundig Architects, three classmates and I decided that we wanted to use simple solutions to solve complex

problems. In this case study, there was an overheating issue during mid-day of spring and fall, but with high

temperature swings the house lost a substantial amount of thermal energy and night. We developed a screen to

shade the glass wall when there was a overheating issue, and a translucent blanket to insulate the house on cold

nights. We also incorporated a thick concrete fl oor to be used as a thermal mass. The screen and the blanket

could be separately and manually adjusted, allowing for maximum fl exibility.

The documentation of agrarian buildings of the Palouse was inspired by a number of exhibitions

that were curated by Robert Hutchison, Taiji Miyasaka, and others. I viewed them as members of a

dying typology; monoliths of the past. Recording their interactions with nature and man. Most of the

structures are seen by local farms as insurance liabilities and are either torn down or left to decay.

As an independent study I wanted to do some fi rst hand research. Interested in the variety of entry sequences

around campus I to document major buildings used as classrooms. Initially I wanted to see if there was any

correlation to the fi eld of study and the entry sequence. By collecting historic photographs and drawings,

taking photographs and measurements of current condition I determined that there was little correlation in

both the original designs and any alterations with one exception: Johnson Hall when it was remodeled to hold

the landscape architecture program. As one might expect, the primary factor for entrance sequence was the

time period in which it was built.

Carpenter HallWillson-Short HallThompson Hall Murrow Hall BryanVan Doren

1894-1930Thompson Hall is the oldest existing building

on campus and originally served as an

administration building.

1894

Originally Science Hall was built to serve the

biological sciences and geology, then became

the Arts Hall and fi nally in 1972 was named

after Edward R. Murrow.

1899

First known as the Domestic Economy Building,

it was later to be named after NancyL. Van

Doren, becoming the fi rst campus building

named after a woman.

1909

Built on top of the old College Hall, the clock

tower was not added until several years later in

1912.

1909

Wilson Hall was designed by Rudoph Weaver,

the same man that would design Carpenter

Hall. Consequently, it looks almost identical

and it too had several delays before it was

completed. However, unlike Carpenter Hall the

grand stair to the second floor was completed.fl

1912

As a cost-saving measure Carpenter Hall was

planned as a twin to Wilson Hall and was

originally named the Mechanical Arts Building.

selected buildingsconclusionsAs a land grant university Washington State is constantly changing its campus. Building new

buildings and renovating old buildings. I have found that very few academic buildings are now

entered as they were originally designed. Some due to funding like Carpenter Hall, who’s grand

stair to the second fl oor was never built. Some because of new infi ll buildings like Johnson Hallfl

whose main entrance no longer exists. Some because of additions like Murrow, where the original

lobby is now offi ce space and the main entrances are located in two fi re stair well on the back side

of the building. Still others by renovations and pedestrians desire to walk from one building to the

next in the shortest path possible. With all of these issues present there seem to be few builds that

are designed in such a way that foresee and plan for change so that students 50 years from now

aren’t walking to there class via the fi re escape on the side of the building.

HOW DOES ONE ENTER INTO A BUILDING? Its not a question that much of us entertain on or daily route, walking from class to class, building to

building; but it does have a profound impact on how we intact with a building. Take for instance the difference between how one might visit a fancy

hotel (pull up in your car, under a portico, greeted by a bellhop, enter though a heavy oversized door into a luxurious lobby with hanging chandlers.....)

or your friends house (pull up and walk around to the back door, slide open the glass door to be greeted by your fi end sitting on the couch watching

tv). This project was an exercise to critically observe and document the transition from outside to inside of academic buildings over the course of

Washington State University’s history.

Finding Alternate Means of Communication \\

Sometimes I’m asked if I’m afraid of being seen as a distracted student of architecture that would rather

be an artist. Personally, I don’t try to differentiate between the two professions. Both my architectural

and artistic endeavours help facilitate my understanding of the human condition. Consequently, the

majority of my paintings are about the body in some way. Studying the body through painting deepens my

understanding of the body in architectural situations.
