about me

My name is Nadav Bittan. I am currently in my 5th year of the Master of Architecture program at Kansas State University. I am Israeli born, but have lived in the United States for most of my life in the Dallas and Kansas City suburban areas. I am interested in how the big idea and smallest detail, the art and science, symbiotically contribute to the overall character of an experience. I am interested in how people perceive architecture - how what designers say compares to what people understand, or misunderstand, about their work. The following are excerpts from my work during the last 5 years of school. Together they show my processes, ideas and collective interest in the profession.

[reconnect]The new Reading Community Center encourages the interplay between community and the new business venture of the arts. The activity of the central courtyard space activates the town and hosts the events that allow the community center to become a major connector, collector, and artery - inspiring guests, artists, and passerbyers to see what this rebuilt community has to offer.

[art in motion]The proposal for a one-artist museum is dedicated to the late Sol Lewitt. Lewitt’s work exudes dynamic energy in an ad-hoc fashion. A gallery for his work should be one that captures this animation by avoiding another white-box paradigm in favor of a space which encourages movement along, below and above his monumental sculpture and wall-mounted work.Spring 2012. Charles Burton design competition finalist.

The KCArts Center is designed for the underprivileged middle and high school students of the Kansas City area to showcase their otherwise undocumented talents. With education, performance and work inhabiting the same built space, the design makes clear not only the relationships amongst the dancers, theater performers, and singers but allows for the visitor to understand the complexities of these roles in a deeper sense than merely experiencing the performance.Fall 2012. Manko Windows design competition finalist.

[pythagoreanpavilion]Tasked with creating a pavilion to honor Pythagorus and his followers in the quad area of the Kansas State campus, the design began with rational numbers derived from the design of an initial Piet Mondrian-like tile. Further iterations repeatedly responded to these mathematically driven relationships in all three dimensions. The result is a student-friendly study space in the heart of campus.

[cool skins]Rainscreen claddings are ubiquitous in today’s building culture, yet it remains scarcely researched how, why, and to what extent they mediate between conditioned and non-conditioned space. As a result of a rigorous set of testing, a greater understanding of how physical forces are affected by design choices may be assembled into developing a cladding which is optimally performative. This group effort is undertaken during the first portion of our 5th year design studio - ultimately to be used in a full scale-design proposal.Fall 2013.

Comfort Analysis: Post-Installation

The VEILS screen is a product of harsh sunlight penetrating through the southern facing windows. Post Installation statistics however are slightly skewed due to outside temperature differences between data collection days.

Before Screen - 1/21, 1/22, 1/23 - Average Temp. In Office: 74.2 - Average Outdoor Temperature: 33After Screen - 1/30, 1/21, 2/1 - Average Temp. In Office: 77.3 - Average Outdoor Temperature: 54.4

The data is misleading due to the fact that data on the same day could not be collected on windows with and without the screen. Ultimately the computer simulations as well as first-hand expreiences from the Dean suggest

that the screen performs well and provides comfortable amounts of task lighting and heat into the office.

[V.E.I.L.S]This group effort was presented as a gift to the Dean of APDesign, intended to enhance thermal comfort by studying then mitigating his southern facing office windows. The two-week project involved logging existing conditions within the office, simulation and design, and concluded by fabrication and installation.Spring 2012. Studio Role: Project Manger

Comfort Scienti c Analysis

The V.E.I.L.S. screen is a product of scienti c data collection which may be interpreted to design the most performative product. Research methods were twofold. The rst involved the physical placement of HOBO sensors throughout the deans of ce in strategic locations. These sensors collected data dependent on Lumens as well as sun intensity. The composite of this data is show graphically (above) in various hours throughout the day. The second method involved computer simulation using 3ds Max lighting analysis (middle right) to similarly graph comfort throughout the day. The results of these studies were then used to direct sunlight throughout the day to alleviate the discomfort in the spaces which are most often used (bottom middle). The various rotation of the panels became a study in re ected, refracted, and diffused light (bottom right), thus reinforcing the need for a “Variant” light screen.

Comfort Scienti c Analysis

The V.E.I.L.S. screen is a product of scienti c data collection which may be interpreted to design the most performative product. Research methods were twofold. The rst involved the physical placement of HOBO sensors throughout the deans of ce in strategic locations. These sensors collected data dependent on Lumens as well as sun intensity. The composite of this data is show graphically (above) in various hours throughout the day. The second method involved computer simulation using 3ds Max lighting analysis (middle right) to similarly graph comfort throughout the day. The results of these studies were then used to direct sunlight throughout the day to alleviate the discomfort in the spaces which are most often used (bottom middle). The various rotation of the panels became a study in re ected, refracted, and diffused light (bottom right), thus reinforcing the need for a “Variant” light screen.

Ripple Image, the origin as the air conditioning unit

The V.E.I.L.S. Screen is a product of many design iterations. Individual case studies were interpreted using the following criteria. (left).

Preliminary Design Criteria Included: - Solar Performance - Aesthetics - Constructability - Pigeon Proo ng - Wind Resistance

Designs were evaluated on these ve criteria and preliminary tests were done in a scale 18”x18” wooden box to evaluate initial solar performance. After creating Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) mock ups, construction drawings, lighting simulations, and interior and exterior renderings were presented. A scheme was chosen to move forward in design and construction (left page and below).

Using the power of the computer, the studio was able to produce multiple design iterations. What was initially a rigid pattern eventually became a uid pulse across the facade with the application of rhino software and Grasshopper scripting (right page). Image sampling was used to produce the desired aesthetic and perfromative effect. Re ecting light during the proper times of day as well as fetishising the immobile air conditioning unit was the result of the computer aided design process.

The need to control the sun in a calculated and highly scienti c manner requires a truly Intelligent light screen.

[phenomenologicalvenice]Venice, Italy, comprised of 117 islands connected by 409 bridges is an ideal city to investigate the impact of how water and land interact within an urban fabric. The study draws from the work of Bosselmann; where a variety of drawing methods are presented together in order to generate a visual language. In this study, drawings and maps aid in building a vocabulary for the varied canal-side experiences of the pedestrian. Spring 2013. CELA 2014 conference selected presenter.
