As-Built DocumentationJob Responsibility

The firm I worked for (Scott Javore & Associates) works with many clients whose scope of work ranges from new residential, historic preservation, and addition and renovation projects. Before we can work on schematic designs, we need to document the existing conditions to work off for renovation projects. My responsibility was to measure all spaces within the house as well as detail work. After that I had to convert these field measurements into an AutoCAD file that would act as the template for all revisions.

These next two pages represent one large project and small project.

Client RendersJob Responsibility

As a final step in the design development phase we put together visual renders for our clients to transform a simple 2D line drawing into an appealing representation of their future dwelling. I take the AutoCAD elevations and tweak them for proper lineweight exporting, add shadows, and reduce clutter. Afterwards I use Photoshop to combine line work, color, and shadow for the final product.

These next two pages represent the same projects previously and others, one using a Sketchup method for rendering.

8

Photography & MarketingJob Responsibility

Many of our firm’s projects are featured in magazines such as LUXE and Trends Magazine. The materials the publishers look for are fully furnished projects that we have done recently. We also present our work to potential clients in the form of brochures which show previous projects in the form of before and afters. It was my job to visit recently finished homes and photograph them for the magazines as well as catalogue other previous work for our brochures.

While much of the photography was raw, some had to be touched up in Photoshop, while the marketing material was all done in InDesign.

Doulos Discovery School Center

Proposal

Program Type: Student CenterLocation: Jarabacoa, Dominican RepublicProfessor: Jeremey Lindsey

Shipping containers composed this project as a requirement by the client. The purpose was to emphasize sustainable resource management by re-using old shipping containers and incorporate them into a desired student center on the Doulos campus.

Process

To begin, I broke up the site into three categories | public, private, and communal, emphasized graphically. Since the Center was to embody the entire campus, I wanted to incorporate these characteristics into the context.

I first began manipulation by dividing, then shifting, and finally defining what would become the public, private, and communal spaces for the Center.

11

Program

This design is a combination of public, private, and communal spaces. The library addition, black box theater, and student lounge contribute to the public space; the teacher’s lounge and private offices comprise the private space; and the communal space is made up of outdoor rooftops and gardens.

12

St. Charles Park District Arts CenterProposal

Program Type: Public Cultural Arts CenterLocation: St. Charles, ILProfessor: Dr. Jhennifer Amundson

This building type reflects a vernacular touch for St. Charles while researching the works of Leon Krier in Poundbury for inspiration.

The project started as an urban proposal on an existing brownfield site in St. Charles. We followed this up with a cultural arts center on a designated site within the urban plan.

Site Development

The urban design was inspired largely by smart-growth ideology such as New Urbanism. Because of its inherent traditional + vernacular overlay, I designed my cultural arts proposal in a similar fashion in order to fit in with the context.

As a design theory, I looked into Gottfried Semper and the Four Elements of Architecture for guidance.

Tools used

The primary drawings were finished with pencil on vellum at 1/4” scale. The model (right) was crafted from museum board at 1:20 scale. The digital model (next page) was made in Sketchup and edited in Photoshop.

14

Program

The four quadrants of this building place each craft in their corresponding element, with each space having an architectural representation of their element - for instance, the main entry relates to weaving/air by use of a large open space emphasized in the tower, and reinforced by the floating main staircase suspended on cables. The mason’s quadrant is primarily finished in stonework and concrete. The metal fabrication quadrant is detailed using iron and other metals reminiscent of the Oxford Natural History Museum. The woodworker’s quadrant is refined with natural wood .

Semper

Gottfried Semper theorized that all architecture known to man could be boiled down into four elements - the enclosure, the roof, the mound, and the hearth. This design expounds upon this elemental theory by emphasizing these four elements into their craft. The hearth was created by fire and ceramics, the roof by carpentry, the enclosure through weaving, and the mound upon masonry.

16

Fox River Valley SchoolProposal

Program Type: K-8 SchoolLocation: Elgin, ILProfessor: Robin Randall

The challenge for this design of a new school in Elgin focused on the Living Building Challenge - a step above LEED ratings in both sustainable responsibility and implementation.

My proposal focused on connecting street • building • river using geometries found in nature.

Site Relationship

I began with a figure/ground study of Elgin as it matured from 1887 to the present day. What I noticed was after the local rail line was shutdown the density dropped significantly. I addressed this issue as a means to reassert the site with the street and the river.

The proportioning of the overall building from its macro scale to its micro was based off the Fibonacci sequence. At the grandest scale, the total length of the building addressing the street is a complement to Elgin’s standard block dimension.

Tools used

All digital drawings were completed in AutoCAD/Revit and edited in Adobe Illustrator. Digital models were designed in Sketchup and edited in Photoshop.

18

Fibonacci

The underlying theme was that the school behave like a mature tree, and that the children were like the seeds being nurtured by their learning environment.

The Golden Ratio worked as a form factor for layout and proportioning. All spaces were edited to follow closely with the Fibonacci ratios which also occur in nature.

Thus, the building is setup in three distinct sections - one large bar running North - South with connecting bars that are attached with classrooms. The angle this creates is that a tree branch or stem takes from its arterial trunk.

19

Living Building Challenge

This project focused around achieving a living building, capable of self-sustainability with the goal of “healing” the site in the future.

The LBC challenge follows seven guidelines: Site, Water, Energy, Health, Materials, Equity, and Beauty, with a heavy focus on the first three.

Site

Development type - Greyfield; not occupying 100 year flood plain.

Agricultural development in Northern segment of site coupled with natural/existing prairie grounds.

Bike path and vicinity of local population promotes a pedestrian-oriented community.

Energy

All classrooms are subject to Northern exposure and have very little Southern/Western exposure to reduce heat gains.

Classroom wing roof pitches incorporate solar photovoltaics which, coupled with energy saving techniques, would supply a majority of power on-site. All other required energy would be produced by a solar array located near building site.

A geothermal system would provide most of the heating requirements in order to reduce total load in building.

Alternative energy systems, when solar power is not enough, include -Biomass/Biodiesel combustion where fuel consists of wood and waste oils.

Water

Rainwater collection via cisterns, collected from butterfly-roof raintrap.

Stormwater run-off controlled on site to filter around various bioswales (Fib. Spiral zones) before entering Fox River.

Branching

From street to river, the school reconnects the site for students and the public. The timber beams dip into the river like a mangrove tree, offering a place of repose and reflection for walkers-by. The construct is a continuation of the building’s structural layout and is testament to its sustainable nature by using wood throughout the building.

Urban Visions Proposal

Program Type: Mixed-use highriseLocation: US I-94 Highway near ChicagoProfessor: Sean Gallagher

This project is a prototype for a mixed-use highrise that could be built over a highway. The idea is to help reclaim land that was taken up by interstate highways throughout the U.S.

This building takes the concept of building as a community bridge. There are two means of crossing: along the road or through the building. The long axis of the building offers entry into a lobby courtyard with retail access for shoppers. These spaces also face out onto the street for passersby, linking the public of the community with the private of the highrise.

The building steps back in plan and section as a response to program needs and daylighting purposes. The first three floors consist of retail spaces, a conference center, multi-use space, a fitness center, and mechanical spaces. The next three floors hold unfinished office space. The last three floors house studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments fully furnished.

As a response to sustainable practice, the building makes use of a few economical and environmental systems. The panel system is made of NBK terracotta which is easily manufactured and uses less carbon emissions to form than other materials such as aluminum. The thick wall system allows for an efficient thermal barrier and an acoustically quiet space against the rage of everyday traffic below. Water recollection at the roof and base level filter into cisterns below the building that is then used throughout the building as a graywater system. Since the building bridges a divide between the highway, it becomes socially sustainable as a community bonder.

24

Wall MassingThick exterior wall massing with two layers of insulation - one in stud layer and behind rainscreen.

MaterialsTerracotta panels make a ventilated facade system to reduce building temperature. They are regionally produced and made of recycled product.

DaylightingWindow fenestration covers 20% of building’s programmable facade, offering adequate lighting for spaces while reducing direct heat gain. Deep light shelves help ambient light to penetrate into rooms.

Electric LightingGE’s LED EL-series light fixtures offer 10,200 lumens while only consuming 72 watts with a CRI of 82.

BiomassBiodiesel and biomass generators reduce dependence on petroleum products. A combined heat and power system increases overall energy efficiency from 20% to 80% compared to non-combined systems. Fuel collection is abundant in urban regions such as Chicago, producing >500k tonnes per year.

Water CollectionThe building offers two points of rainwater collection - on the roof and at the base. Surrounding the first floor exterior is a drain swale with vegetation which feeds into cisterns located in the median of the highway. Graywater is collected within the building.

Morphology Study Evanston, IL

Analysis

Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, Evanston has shown significant growth in its downtown sector. High density building types have grown up along Davis Street and around the triangular block near Sherman and Orrington. It is important to note that Davis Street has several mass transit stops including a Purple Line stop and a Metra North Central stop from Ogilvie Station.

Another determining factor is the local University campus to the northeast providing for increased demand of local goods which could explain the growth to the East along Davis and Church St.Alleys within Evanston’s downtown district house many different urban types from low density single houses to high density stacked halls. Alleys have allowed access mostly to single house buildings (1920) but have recently been occupied by stalls and hall-type buildings (2011). Over the decades alleys have been added in the central district where the more dense buildings are located due to increased commercial traffic - both pedestrian and vehicular.

Saint Charles Urban Proposal

Program

This proposal was a joint effort with another team member. The final solution derived from a desire to maintain the current St. Charles street grid as well as the lot sizes. My contribution was laying out the street grid and lot sizes and appropriating which building types were associated with each lot.

Following a transect that favored T-3 through T-4, we placed the single family homes on the furthest edges of this community while the denser mixed-use types were situated in a central zone.

The final site location for the Arts Center is suggested in the large lot to the North.

Politics

After the completion of the proposal, our studio visited the City Council meeting regarding the current development of the site. We learned that the council members were looking for a community that was low density single family housing and that they were adamantly opposed to denser development.

Only one councilwoman had the insight to mention that we need to build denser if we are to sustain our society.

35

Greyfield

The original site is a demolished grayfield that is awaiting redevelopment approval. The project design was centered around developing a new mixed-use community on the outskirts of the downtown district of St. Charles.

36

Identity/Branding

Proposal

Rebranding for a local Elgin bakery “Herb’s Bakery”Logo, Business Card, Postcard design

The branding process for Herb’s Bakery was centered on discovering the ideal demographic. Through research of the locale and goods produced, I focused on a logo design that reached out to the young family demographic. HHERB’S BAKERY

37

Wayfinding

ProposalDesign a new wayfinding system for Metra RailStreet/Pedestrian Signage, Kiosk, Digital App

After visiting the Metra Elgin Station, we were given the task to design a better wayfinding system that focused on getting passengers from their car to the station and finally to the platform.

As a group project I was assigned as the Art Director. I dealt with logistics for meetings and required workload among other members. I also worked exclusively on redesigning maps, signs, and kiosks.
