Monastery in Rural Indiana:A place for personal contemplation

A monastery is a closed circuit, a private and internal building. Everything comes from within and stays there. Because of this, the monastery should be designed from the inside out; each room should be tailored for the specific activity it is built for.

Chapter House Rendered Model Shot:MDF and paper model Internal meeting place for discussion among monks.

The refectory is the sole place where monks have discussions. It provides an open forum to go over ideas, issues and updates with the monastery. Traditionally a refectory has seating in a ‘U’ shape to allow for focus to be directed to single speaker or allow for a circular discussion. Creating a lit backdrop focuses attention at the speaker while at the same time blanketing the space with light for group talks.

Perceived mass and a decentralized cloister:

The plan and layout of the monastery originates from the idea that the cloister, the garden for god, should not be used simply as circu-lation, but rather a room in itself. Traditionally the cloister serves as the primary means of moving from room to room. By decentraliz-ing it, the cloister will become a destination. Because of this, the monastery can take on a new form, one that allows for a more direct way of moving from place to place. The plan is broken up into 4 sections; the public church, the monks cells, the day to day activities, and the cloister. Each part is sectioned off using blocks of utility space; bathrooms, kitchen, infirmity, and administration.

Two hallways line both sides of the monastery creating a barrier between the internal workings and the external world. By recessing the doors of the private areas, a perceived mass is created, allowing for a noticeable compression that dictates the quiet mood of the space. In contrast, the more open spaces like the refectory and chapter house are left open to the circulation allowing for an easy pro-cession of monks in and out.

CULTURAL MAGNETHelsinki, FIN

IIT Paris Program:Re-imagining the failed Guggenheim Cultural Center in Helsinki, Finland

The proposal for a Guggenheim museum in Helsinki was ultimately a failure due to its status in the art world and lack of sensitivity towards the disinterests of Helsinki residents. The people of helsinki feared that the “ArtDonalds” that is Guggenheim was there to simply milk the The Helsinki Arts Museum commission fee

with little to no support for the museums construction and operation as had happened in previous cities.

In the end, the project was scrapped leaving a void in the expectations of the population for a cultural center. The cultural development has taken wide swings over the years with backing from different sides of the political spectrum; the conservative right pushed for shopping and attractions while the left pushed for museums and arts. The resulting composition is a thorough mix of malls and museums.

MALL DENSITY

Spring 2013 - Paris - Helsinki Cultural Center

MUSEUM DENSITY

Kiasma Museum

Proposed Site

Creation of a Mall-Museum magnet:

The current state of the MUSEUM is flawed. The presentation and exclusivity of objects displayed removes any and all purpose or design intent. It has created an extreme disconnect between the objects and the viewer. At the other extreme is the MALL, a place filled with bastardized product versions in an effort to increase productivity and fuel our consumerist world. The age of building prod-ucts to last has been replaced by planned obsolescence, cheap materials, and outsourced production.

These issues, both with the MUSEUM and the MALL, lead to the same outcome, a disconnect between the origin of a product and the process needed to produce that product. There is a lack of appreciation for the effort needed to produce both museum and con-sumer grade products; in some cases, what was once a commercial product has been eaten up by the prison that is the MUSEUM with little to no explanation.

The remedy comes through a leak in both institutions. The quality of the MUSEUM needs to be merged with the access of the MALL while at the same time exposing the process of production in order to give substance back to the products. The result of this creates an institution that is unfortunately alien to the public but will, in time, become an exemplary model.

By attaching the Cultural Center to the existing Kamppi mall it can create a parasitic relationship, leaching the inhabitants of the mall and exposing them to the craft of the center. By placing the process of each workshop linearly, the process from a products conception can be shown in full. Using the exterior facade as exposed storage units, the embodied input of the products can be displayed.

BIG TREE PARADIGM COMPETITION14th Shelter International Architectural Design Competition for Students 2012Fukushima, JPN

A Single Big Tree used in parts to provide for the growth of a home over numerous generations.

A single big tree similar to the great redwoods of California could be used in parts on as-needed basis as a family grows. When a new member comes into the family, they will be alloted a piece of the family tree to be used to add room to the home. The tree would con-tinue to give generation after generation.In later developments of the project, the one Big Tree would be supplemented with numerous small trees in the form of an orchard.

Organization and Hierarchy of spaces to facilitate a communal family:Creating a central gathering space in the form of a traditional Japanese tea room

The first generation of the home is designed as an outpost. It serves as a meeting and resting space for the workers and family as the orchard is developed. Key to this outpost is the tea room, serving as the communal place to talk, eat, and relax. This room serves as the basis for the proportions, layout, and future generation additions of the whole home. Using the traditional tatami mat proportions (176cm x 88cm) of the tea room, each room serves as supplements.

The tea room is where the family exists.

Situated on the second floor, the tea room also acts as the observation point of the orchard, looking out over the fuel that builds the home. The addition rooms grow out from the spine and grow into the ground becoming what is essentially the roots of the home. The home grows from the outpost generation into a couples home, a family home, and a generational home. Each generation expands the house using the forest as material.
