This was part of a Department of Energy

competition to look at net-zero housing

for a multi-family complex. The complex

holds both market rate and aff ordable

units. It was coordinated with engineering

and fi nance students looking at the energy

use and feasibility of these projects to

bring interest for developers to the area. It

looks at redefi ning aff ordable mixed-use

housing other than the standard double

wide apartment units. The units further

contribute to the community with a

courtyard and connection to the riverfront

greenway being proposed in Asheville. It

creates more interaction among people

through the circulation and promotion of

public transit.

The idea is to create a strong connection

between the units and the courtyard space. The

courtyard space allows for a transition between

the ground and the fl ood plain level in which

units could be built. This creates a space for

community engagement and connection to the

greenway across the street. The height off set

also allows for privacy, while still maintaining a

visual connection to the street and courtyard.

This studio looked into using 3D printing as

a structural material to build a visitor center.

This project was done in conjunction with

Oak Ridge National Laboratories and SOM.

Our project looked at a shell for inspiration

as its growth process is similar to that of

a 3D printer. Our project highlights the

thin quality of the structure that can be

created with 3D printing while still holding a

substantial R-value. This method of building

can integrate many systems and be easily

assembled. These units could become the

next wave of prefabricated housing, which is

why we looked at how certain plumbing and

electrical units could be integrated into the

structure. It allows for more customizability

in size and confi guration, while maintaining

the ease of assembly for prefabricated

homes.

Accretion is a chemical process of growth in which the inner “skin” produces the shell.

Shell size increases over time due to the process and is propor-tional to the size of the crustacean.

Axis of growth, typically spiral, travels in a sequence of Fibo-nacci proportions.

Deposition process is an extrusion of ABS in which beads of material are placed in layers.

Object grows vertically on the print plane and is limited by the size of the printer.

Layers can only be stacked along the z-axis resulting in a tex-ture of always parallel striations.

This project was a multidisciplinary project

with interior design. An important aspect of

the project was light and visibility through

diff erent materials. This aff ected the form

and circulation. The building is divided into

thirds. The entire interior is connected

through the light wells, which also provide

ventilation for the building. There is an

exterior and interior connection through the

visibility and the circulation. The circulation

funnels the people in through the entry and

remains visible to the exterior.

large amount direct sunlight coming in where all the reading and work environments are, whereas the book side has a more filtered

light through the light wells and indirect light from the lighting system. The model shows the mass of the model with the 1/3

ReGen Boston

The North Shore area has it all from young

to elderly, commercial to academic, homes

to apartments. The main idea was to

reconnect the residents with the waterfront

and city infrastructure and create a new

style of multi-generational housing. I fi rst

connected the new structure by using a

common element found throughout Boston,

brick. Secondly, I focused on views and visual

connections from the sidewalk and the

housing units. Lastly I looked at sustainable

features utilizing the rooftops of the

structure for gray water collection and roof

gardens.

Street Side View

Page 31: Ethan Keller_Portfolio

This view shows the entry into the public courtyard, as well as the connection between the retail and the living area. The courtyard is a public space, which is why it opens up to both the harbor walk and street side. The point is to have this area create a sense of community. Inside the circulation tower the stairs circulate around a green wall. The idea is that this promotes use of the stairs because of the green wall and visibility to the inner portion of the city. The towers are also open to the public because of functions, such as a coff ee shop, community learning, and North Shore information center. The community area to the left of the rendering holds the rec center, community roof garden, and community rooms.

The form was created to make a simple, but dynamic shape connecting the infrastructure of the city to the bay area. This visual connection opens up the area and invites people in and through the space. I didn’t want a closed off courtyard because of the views and desire to create a community area. The courtyard area is more of an

intimate space being somewhat enclosed, while the lower portion to the harbor acts as an open park area for the community and

residents. Even the seating for the courtyard promotes interaction verses the standard one direction bench. Courtyard

We put together a 25 year plan to redevelop

Cool Springs into a transit oriented

development. Our site was roughly a mile

in diameter, because a half mile is the

furthest people will walk for mass transit.

An existing rail line is converted into a

commuter rail. The idea is to create more

mix-use buildings with direct relationship

to the street. A mixture of typologies are

placed within the city through retrofi tting

buildings as well as infi lling between them

creating a higher density area. The center of

town is framed by two major streets and the

greenway.

N SITE PLAN

To the left shows how we dispersed the diff erent types of housing throughout the city. Each team member took a specifi c portion to further develop. I had the city center, which is an informal space directly related to the rail station, park, and amphitheater across the street. The space between buildings can be used as a market or gathering space for rallies or concerts. Currently, the Cool Springs area is not pedestrian friendly because of a lack of sidewalks and widely dispersed businesses. The fi rst focus is to create a central core focused around the transit system. This can be seen in the image above. Then start infi lling areas between buildings to create a higher density to support the transit system.

PHASE 1

The site was broken down into 3 phases over a 25 year period to revitalize the area. The fi rst phase creates higher density near the transit with large amounts of retail and jobs to support it. Then the housing is built around it in future phases to continue supporting the area.

The project was about connections and how

they are formed. The idea was taking the

main axes of the city and making them the

location of the nodes on the waterfront.

These nodes were categorized and located

according to the commercial and residential

areas. Not only is there connection between

the city and the waterfront, but connection

along the waterfront. The connective

elements serve as transitional areas creating

spaces with diff erent traffi c patterns.

Section - Garden Barge

The current riverfront is highly under utilized, so I looked at the various opportunities and constraints.

I allowed the existing infrastructure of the city to dictate the location of elements in the design. The

demographics dictated elements for all ages, which are also located within specifi c location according to the infrastructure. The sections show the varying height

diff erences along the riverfront, which allowed the greenspace towards the upper portion of the site, while

still maintaining fl ood control.

Queensway ConneCtion

The main purpose is to connect the people

of Ozone Park to Forrest Park as well as

connect people on the ground to the

elevated Ozone Park Station. This is done

with both pedestrian paths and bike paths

to accommodate all people. It is the DNA of

Queens. The DNA helix shape promotes a

fl owing, meandering motion throughout the

site. It brings all the cultures to one area

to express and explore together creating

more awareness within the community. The

areas programmatically include bike sharing,

cafes, gardens, and green spaces. All

features coincide with the idea of bringing

the community together.

The entry is a key element having both stairs and wheelchair accessible ramp. The entry is an exploration of motion. The motion wall is made up of small aluminum panels. The sketch detail is located to the right. The motion is meant to track the activity and the community around it.

The goal is an upcycled pocket park that

connects the community of Over-the-Rhine.

The main materials are pvc, pallets, and

tennis balls. All easily accessible, cheap, and

found within the Cincinnati area. The idea is

to use these materials in an uncharacteristic

way so it gets people to take a second

look and investigate the area. People can

appreciate the common materials and forms

being reused to create a more vibrant space

within a residential area. This is both easily

put together and torn down for the purpose

to improve vacant lots, while waiting for

someone to further invest in the lot.

It’s meant for impromptu stops located

centrally between schools, businesses, and

Findley Market. This allows the area to

be available to classroom activities, lunch

areas for business people, and impromptu

performance areas for the artists. The site

is set up with a variety of diff erent spaces

allowing for small gatherings or large ones.

Location: Over-The-Rhine Cincinnati, OH

Project Duration: 1.5 Weeks

Course Level: Arc 402.C

The site is located in a vacant lot along the road connecting Findley Market

and Washington Park. It is located centrally within Over-the-Rhine and located

between most of the schools in the area as well as among many businesses.

The site is located on a corner so it is more visible and more viable for people

to interact amongst one another.

The section to the right shows how the planting beds would be formed as well

as the location of the tennis balls. Also, it shows how the pvc pipe talking

tubes would travel through the pallets to get to other areas of the site so that

little to no digging is involved on the site. The pvc pipe is also used for the

light sculpture, which is powered by solar power and easily attached to one

another.

The pvc pipe is used to create the talking tubes for children interaction and for the solar light sculptures in the garden beds.

The pallets are used for the structure, because they are readily available and have great strength. The gaps allow them to be easily converted to planters too.

The tennis balls are readily available in Cininnati with their U.S. Open Championship. Tennis balls are bouncy and would provide a comfortable seating and bouncing pad.
