Architectural History
Sketches of Local Architecture• A series of case studies were
conducted on local architec-ture in the City of Rochester and the surrounding towns.
• For each case study, a free-hand sketch was created and research was done on the history of the building, its design architect, and its archi-tectural style.
• Represented here are sketches from fifteen of the case stud-ies that were completed. They are as follows:
• The Spring House (1822) Federal Style & Greek-Revival • Hervey Ely House (1837) Greek-Revival • Jonathan Child House (1837-38) Greek-Revival • Woodside House (1838-1841) Greek-Revival • No. 6 Schoolhouse (1842) Early American • Aaron Erickson House (1842) Greek-Revival • Dr. Hartwell Carver House (1853) Greek-Revival • Bates-Ryder House (1856) Italianate Villa • Rochester Free Academy (1872) Gothic-Revival • Rochester City Hall (1874-75) Gothic-Revival • W. W. Chapin House (1879) Renaissance Chateauesque • Wilson Soule House (1892) Richardsonian Romanesque • Third Courthouse Building (1894) Italian Renaissance • Bevier Memorial Building (1910) Institutional • Hiram Sibley Building (1926) Greek-Revival & Romanesque • Rochester Savings Bank (1928) Byzantine Architecture
Local Architecture
Architectural History
Ancient Architectural 3D Model• A 3D conceptual model was
created that represented archi-tectural features from the ancient time period.
• The 3D model consists of a ziggurat loosely modeled from the Great Ziggurat of Ur, and an ancient Greek-style temple perched atop the ziggurat.
• The ziggurat was built with two stages with a grand stair-way. The sides of the ziggu-rat slope inward with ridged detailing that also converge, giving the ziggurat a sense that it is rising and reaching for the heavens.
• A Classical Greece-style tem-ple consists of a Doric order peristyle with its columns supporting the entablature and the roof. Inside the Greek temple is a cella with Roman-style arched open-ings that are aligned with the openings between the columns.
• More than 80% of the model is constructed from recycled materials, including wood from a disposed pallet and scrap asphalt shingles. The columns of the Greek temple were created using a 3D plot-ter.

Architectural History
Renaissance Architectural 3D Model• From the assignment:
"Recreate the bedroom from the Northern Renaissance oil painting by Jan van Eyck, "The Arnolfini Double-Portrait. Many art historians hypothesize that this room could never have been built and is therefore contrived space."
• Using 100% recycled mate-rial and an understanding of Renaissance domestic archi-tecture, a 3D model was cre-ated of the interior space as depicted in the Eyck painting.
• Jan van Eyck was a Flimish painter residing in Bruges (in present-day Belgium). In researching this project, a Renaissance structure in Bruges was found that some claim to be the home of Jan van Eyck. The second floor window on the left appeared to match many of the char-acteristics of the space in the painting.
• Scrap pieces of wood, gyp-sum board, rigid insulation, and sheet metal were used to construct the model at 1/2" =1'-0". A laser cutter was used to cut and engrave the wood and the sheet metal.

Architectural Design I
ReTreat Project 3D Model• The client, a fragile taco shell,
required a protective environ-ment during travel via the U.S. Postal Service.
• The design must fit precisely within a given USPS shipping box, and 70% of the project must be constructed of a single material. The proj-ect should serve the client's needs, be functional, and be aesthetically creative.
• The design solution, dubbed "Taco Rider," is made of bass-wood cut using a laser cutter. Only a minimal amount of glue was used for assembly.
• The taco tray pivots outward for convenient loading and unloading of the client while the assembly remains inside the shipping box.
• A duplicate tray was provided on the opposite side to pro-vide the client with space for a companion.
• Documentation included a hand-drafted detail sheet.
• Two taco shells were suc-cessfully delivered from Rochester to Buffalo, New York, on September 26, 2012.

Frietag Scrim 3D Model• Frietag is a successful Swedish
company that manufactures a variety of types of colorful, tough, water-resistant bags made from recycled materi-als, including truck tarps, seat belts and bicycle inner tubes.
• Frietag purchased an aging tenement warehouse in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. The building will be renovated extensively with the store opening targeted for summer 2013.
• During renovation, scaffold-ing will be used to obscure the construction and to pro-tect pedestrians below. From the assignment: "Frietag would like to cover the facade with a 'scrim' that heralds the opening of their new store and headquarters, but that also creates visual interest and a 'signature look' for the com-pany."
• The design solution presented here attempted to stay true to the aesthetic of the Frietag brand. The image at the lower left replicates the pat-terns of Frietag's products.
• The 3D model is made of steel rods and wooden planks covered with a wire mesh, shaped by teammate, Marc Priddy. The square pieces of tarps are randomly placed and could include a variety of colors and patterns..

City Gateway Arch• Design an architectural gate-
way for the City of Rochester to "celebrate the conversion of an existing street to a 'zero emissions' street." This fic-tional street, designated by the city, permits only bicycles, electric vehicles, and pedes-trians.
• From the assignment: "The monument should straddle the street in some way to convey that it is the 'gate-way' to a new environmental beginning. Both vehicles and pedestrians will go through the gateway."
• The design solution presented here includes graceful, inter-connected arches that repre-sent a forward looking vision to a future when the many functions of human activity work together in harmony for the benefit of the environ-ment.
• A gathering place is provided on either side of the gateway where visitors can congre-gate to learn more about this unique street.
• The lampposts have colorful features that resemble raised arms in celebration of this visionary street.

Community Branch Library• A new branch library is to be
constructed near the center of a small town with rural sur-roundings.
• The given site is a small knoll that gently slopes towards a creek at the edge of the prop-erty. The natural features of the site must be preserved and/or enhanced.
• On-site parking is needed for staff, handicap, and delivery vehicles. Public parking is provided across the street.
• Meeting the project's func-tional requirements is criti-cal. Space is limited to about 7,000 SF and must provide the library collection, a read-ing room, a children's area, and a community room.
• The design solution presented here separates the library/children's area and the com-munity room with a central entrance lobby, rest rooms, and mechanical space.
• The curvature of the south-west wall follows the natural contours of the land, thus preserving the site's natural shape.
• The glazing on the curved wall admits abundant natural light into the reading room and provides a wide view of the site's natural features.

Mammal Habitat Design• Select and research a mam-
mal, its behavior, and the characteristics of its natural habitat.
• From the assignment: "Take a creature from this place [its natural habitat]. Make it a place that is rewarding. Satisfy all its needs, but use nothing directly from nature; use no wood, no tree, no stone, no grass; this is man's creation."
• The common European rab-bit was selected and a burrow was designed to provide pro-tection from its many preda-tors.
• A key feature is the polymer shell that changes color with a change in temperature. The colors are selected to provide camouflage protec-tion during the different sea-sons of the year.
• The tunnels and chambers are constructed of light-weight concrete lined with cardboard tubes, which the rabbits can shred for nesting material.
• The burrow is mobile for relocation to different sites as necessary.Meeting the

Malilangwe PrivateWildlife ReserveZimbabwe, Africa
Local Zimbabweans often live in modest huts with circularwalls of local wood and a thatched roof. The climate ofZimbabwe is tropical with a rainy season from November toMarch (summer) when it rains 1 out of 5 days. Summerhighs are typically from 90° to 100° F. Winters (May toSeptember) are dry and slightly cooler.

Contextual Shelter Design• Select and research a site that
offers a challenge in both cli-mate and culture. Design a temporary structure that will allow one to reside in this environment, which is very different from the typical sur-roundings of Western culture.
• From the assignment: "Consciously express the form in terms that nature and cul-ture will respect and yet per-mits man to continue."
• The site selected was a savan-nah in Zimbabwe for the purpose of researching the local wildlife.
• A primary objective of this design was to create a struc-ture that could be assembled and disassembled with minimal assistance and that would be adaptable to a vari-ety of climates.
• While respecting the local culture in its design, the shel-ter provides an observation deck and basic amenities for a long-term stay.
• Other than purchasing some local food items, the shelter is designed for self-sufficiency while allowing for some of the functions of Western cul-ture, such as electric power.

Scottsville Shelter Design• From the assignment: "Create
a form for living that takes care of temporary but year-round needs. This is a place that is of the land yet serves its caretakers."
• The owner's primary objec-tive is to promote sustain-ability. This can be accom-plished through the location, the design, and the usage of the shelter.
• The large property is given, and the owners are seeking a "temporary" shelter for living while they build a more per-manent sustainable facility. Afterwards, the shelter may become guest housing.
• The "sunken round house" solution presented here pres-ents the owners with several sustainable options. The project utilizes both solar and wind energy, along with the thermal mass of the earth.
• The round shape is efficient in material usage, and it pro-vides the occupant a 360° view of the surrounding landscape.

Wood Construct Design• Working within a small team,
transform a collection of scrap wood pieces into a new prod-uct.
• The product must meet the following criteria: Found wood scraps should be the pri-mary wood source, production waste (other than saw dust) is not permitted, and the final product should have a practi-cal application.
• My partner, Joseph Nicholson, found some weathered boards and an aging 3" thick slab of pressure treated wood, and I found some thin pieces of cedar.
• My partner suggested a con-cept of a puzzle, and together we expanded the concept into a "puzzle table". I developed the design of the table in CAD that would consume 100% of the wood scraps.
• I cut the wood pieces using a combination of a miter saw, a band saw, and a laser cutter. My partner assisted with the assembly. Only minimal glue was used; no mechanical fas-teners were incorporated.
• Not shown is a glass top that allows for this product to function as a side table.

Choate Residence Design• A young couple intend to
build a sustainable home on 13 acres in Rush, New York
• The couple desires to live off the land as much as possible, growing their own fruits and vegetables and possibly raising chickens. The couple loves outdoor living and would love for their new home to enhance the nature beauty of the property.
• Given a large site, the couple requested a 2,000 SF, one-floor home without a base-ment, and in the "contempo-rary craftsman" vernacular with an emphasis on wood finishes.
• The solution presented here emphasized energy-efficiency, self-sufficiency, and the cou-ple's love for the outdoors.
• Careful consideration of the sun was used to determine the position of the home. The home's angle is designed to allow for penetration of the morning sun to the rear of the living area.
• The home was designed to be fun for the young couple and their friends. Features, such as a built-in dining booth, a large masonry heater with a pizza oven, a bright sun room, and a spacious outdoor patio, encourage an enjoyable lifestyle.

• The house is positioned on the east side of the crest ofthe ridge. Along with a screen of evergreen anddeciduous trees to the west, the house is protectedfrom the prevailing northwest winter winds.
• The house is divided into three distinct areas: Thepublic/living area, the private area, and thegarage/utility area.
• The house is angled 20 degrees to the southeast toallow for penetration of the morning sun to the rear ofthe living area, particularly the breakfast area.
• The bedrooms are located on the east side to welcomethe morning sun and to remain cooler in the evening
• The house in on a single-level slab-on-grade withradiant floor heat system throughout.
• Heat is supplemented with a centralized masonryheater with a built-in pizza oven.
• Heat is also moderated using passive solar heat. Wintersunlight penetrates the structure through large gablewindows and its energy is absorbed in thermal mass ofthe concrete floor, the masonry heater, and the lowmasonry wall surrounding the sun room. This energy isslowly released during the evening and nighttime tomoderate the indoor temperature.
• During the summer, the gable windows may beopened to release trapped heat and to provide crossventilation.
• Exposed timber-framed trusses are used to frame thegable room over the living area. Along with providinga craftsman appearance, the high space provides anarea for summer heat to rise resulting in coolertemperatures at floor level. Energy-efficient ceiling fanswill provide heat circulation during the winter months.
This residence is designed with sustainability, independentliving, and comfort in mind. The following is a summary ofthe key features that make this residence a desirable placeto call home:
• Without a basement or an attic, storage space iscritical. A large utility room is provided for everydaystorage needs. In addition, a loft in the garage willprovide ample long-term storage.
