Design Principles [Core Studio] Professor Nick DePace

Around the year 1952, American art critic Harold Rosenberg described the canvas as “an arena in which to act.” The methodical approach to architectural design espoused in Design Principles allows Rosenberg’s canvas to become El Lissitzky’s Proun, “the station where one changes from painting to architecture.” Wayfinding explorations in the x,y, and z coordinates produce work that alternates between the product and the prototype continuously. Drawings and models court the words documentation and developmental in an ongoing attempt to construct a logical system of expression and functionality. On the first day, each student was assigned a knot, and a piece of rope. The semester project was to maintain the functionality of the original knot throughout material changes and environmental conditions.

These sketches detail a series of early models that relied on soaking paper strips in a mixture of glue and water to create images of the knot that would describe its process of implementation.

Early diagrams and sketches01

Sketch of the completed knot around a metal ring

The intention of Design Principles is to allow each student to investigate a systematic approach to developing an architectural language. Through drawing and model-making, we began to understand the logic behind our assigned knot; what its functionality allowed and prohibited. These early investigations led to architectural extrapolations, derived from the original knot, but allowing for inhabitation and a greater degreee of spatiality and user function.

[Hanging Model]

After the system of connection was established, each phase of the project tested the durability and functionality of the system, its limits. The first model had to be suspended, which brought up issues of gravity, how the form would respond to this force.

[First Material Change]

The third model was a full departure from the previous variations. The site was conceived as an equal representation of the project driver. The mechanisms used while working in bristol were adjusted to enable stepping throughout the form. This was carried on by terracing the site, enabling an integration between the site and proposal.

The final version of the model was constructed out of heavier chip board. The system had to adapt to this change, since bending was no longer an option. The weaving aspect was disgarded in favor of a network of slotting.

Manual Representation [Fall, 2010] Kelly Wilson

While the current profession dictates computer-aided design, drawing by hand is not archaic. It is the personal connection from the hand to the pencil to the paper that triumphs over the keyboard. Heightened levels of sensitivity that allow you to feel line values in real time. In this studio, we explored perspective, drawing techniques, and working through plan and section. It is the precurser course to Digital Representation, where the same techniques are applied to computer drafting and modeling.

Manual Representation should be viewed as the intellectual counterpart to Design Principles. The later involved inference on the part of the student to decide what something could represent; whereas, Manual Representation involved diligence in interpreting what the eye could actually see. The core idea behind this studio was not to interpolate, but to interpret. The objects did not change in scale or proportion. We were allowed to use drawing to depict them in ways the eye could not.

Performance Rendering [Winter Session 2011] Thomas Jonak

This project is a design for an upscale mixed-use building featuring rainwater collection, the development of low-energy systems to implement its reuse within the structure, and the establishment of a harmony between building systems and the user’s experience within the structure. The layout is a 13,000 sq. ft. square structure with a central courtyard, periphery walkway and rooftop garden. A restaurant and retail stores were located at the ground level, with office space in the upper levels. Framing the exterior walk were four isolated structural corners, angled away from the inner structure. These corners supported a tensile skin of solar panels, sloped to direct rainwater towards catch basins located at the ground level. These four skins were woven at 90 degree angles producing a pavilion with a central opening over the courtyard.

Architectural Design [Spring, 2011] Silvia Acosta

(Studio-wide Collaboration)

Architectural Design was a collaborative project that brought all 70 students together to design and construct a project in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. We began the semester working on individual projects and slowly moved towards a floor-wide consensus on the final project: a community garden and gathering place.

Architectural Design [Spring, 2011] Silvia Acosta

(Personal Work)

The individual work completed for the Architectural Design studio involved proposing a buildable work of architecture, that could be constructed within the limits of a semester. We began working individually with a site on the opposing side of the Blackstone River in Pawtucket, RI, and eventually tackled the site the full studio would engage. During this transition, we began pairing into smaller groups of four, eventually forming one larger group from each of the six sections. This work details the output that developed prior to the full studio collaboration.

Page 36: Graduate Portfolio - John McCampbell

The first proposal site was located on the opposite side of the Blackstone River. It was a long, narrow plot that we were to fill with a program. Dividing the site into a grid allowed for a rhythmic placing of both sculptural and function structures. The program was still a public garden, but the dynamic sloped roofs allowed the catchment feature to become visual, and a part of the artistic expression. To encourage usage, a public walking trail (1/4 mile) was placed at the perimeter.

Urban Design Principles [Fall, 2011] James Barnes

(Project 3)

The Jewelry District of Providence, Rhode Island has a rich history of early industrialism. Its original layout consisted of smaller shops and manufacturing. As the industry has waned, so has the neighborhood. Recently, Brown University has begun developing the area into a medical campus. The resultant area has become a hetrogeneous mix of larger and smaller properties. This studio project was to propose living spaces for three different interests: students, visitors, and senior citizens. Each new proposed building had to satisfy an occupancy requirement of 50 persons, and a design challenge to integrate itself into the existing site.

The idea of mapped memory was the driver for this proposal. Beginning with maps of the site during the early 1900s, the intention was to mix old building scale and new scale. Since the existing buildings were much larger than their historic counterparts, the proposal was to use the three new programs to mediate between these different forms. The idea of having a site migration that resulted in the current placement of structures allowed a formal language. Sweeping, migratory paths allowed the new structures to have curves, and to catch the historic forms at various levels. When viewed from the top of the proposed hotel, one could view a 150 year history being held in suspension.

[Process]

Page 44: Graduate Portfolio - John McCampbell

(50 beds minimum)

The decision to have a community of retired persons living amongst students and visitors to the city presented interesting opportunities within the overall design. Since there was an existing building bisecting the site, it seemed logical to use that structure as a privacy screen; however, the reappropriation of the building’s rooftop as a public park accessible to all three new projects allowed for complete integration. Consequently, the retirement community could be as involved as they felt comfortable with the security of a private dwelling space close at hand.

The logical location for the hotel was at the site’s highest point. The ambitious site plan would be completely visible from the top floors of the hotel, which were designed as public spaces. Since the entire proposal was centered around the idea of a site’s memory and its present reality, the hotel was designed with a historic look. Referencing such precedents as the Providence Biltmore, the hotel was to function as the icon on the site, which would preside over the mash-up occuring below.

The student living center was considered as an integral part of the Providence, Rhode Island Knowledge District, which is centered on Brown University’s medical campus. The street side looks out on a parking garage, which was problematic; consequently, it was necessary to handle the street directly and design the structure as a large glass facade. The idea was to plant trees reaching to the height of the facade and use them as directors to the street below, diverting people away from the less desirable views. The relation was between activity within the building and activity at the street.

Urban Design Principles [Fall, 2011] James Barnes

Project 2

The first project of the semester involved a fictive neighborhood. Our task was to divide the space, to give a 1,200 square foot plot of land for each student in the studio. From there, we would each design a single, mixed-use building, considering issues of access and connectivity between the various structures. In order to begin understanding the spatial opportunities, I chose to place a series of images within the larger neighborhood space to look for networking options.

Page 52: Graduate Portfolio - John McCampbell

The forming of the building was based on musically-derived ideas. The building was situated on the corner of two-way intersection. Each floor represented a musical mapping of one of the other three buildings on the intersection, with the fourth floor being a response. By translating proportions and lengths into intervals and durations, a playable, performative structure was created.

Urban Design Principles [Fall, 2011] James Barnes

Project 1

The first project of the semester dealt with site analysis. We were given the city of Providence and instructed to define the location of greatest interest. Working in a group of three, we began to investigate the issue of flux within a given time frame. We wanted to locate the area that saw the greatest rise and fall of inhabitants throughout the week. Kennedy Plaza, the public bus station, is located downtown at the business district. It brings in a massive increased during the work day, but is completely empty by six at night. The major element that we chose to focus on was a series of public accessways through the major business buildings, which did not function as a truly public space. It was our hope that once these spaces became a part of the urban fabric, the distinctions between a bus user, a business person, and a pedestrian would be blurred; as would the issues of public and private space.

Imposed Urban Block

After imposing a regular grid along the north/south axis, new concepts of the urban block developed.Each new block contained some public and private spaces, and the importance of finding their connectivity emerged. Above and below represent density maps, which where used to determine thegreatest areas of opportunity for these connections between publc and private.

Providence Train Station [Spring, 2012] James Barnes

The SOM designed Providence Train Station exists within the city as a singular component of a failed urban plan. The master plan conceived by SOM was not inacted in its totality, which cut off the station from the greater downtown area. Our proposal had to address these issues and design a new station. The project required that we pay attention to urban connectivity, designing a new station that would be intergrated into its urban condition.

Connection between the existing sources of culture and the proposed structures was critical to the development of the project. Since the main project driver was the establishment of a downtown music school, it made sense to connect that new space to older educational institutions.

[Form & Function]

Site map (preliminary)06

The first proposal for the Providence Train Station was based on two drivers: formal considerations that reflected its location, and functional aspects of the surrounding buildings. It was important to find a way to foster a greater sense of community and to express that desire formally in the new proposal.

The first train station did not have to incorporate a secondary program; consequently, the design had a greater formal presence. It was designed to reflect a simple idea of a building that made two gestures: one to the Rhode Island State House, and the other to a large apartment building behind the station. This was achieved by a simple v-fold, which allowed control over the heights and angles of each wing. Dividing the v-fold’s fulcrum point into solids and voids allowed for aperatures for the letting in of natural light.

[First Site Proposal] Taking the larger site into consideration, the gestural quality of the train station changed. It was reoriented to face the new proposed music school, which was located to the West of the station. The intention of the project began to emerge as a relationship between these two public buildings. The first proposal shows this idea in the raised ‘head’ of the station.

The final proposal utilized scripting to design the curved structures. Recordings of incoming trains were played against the sounds of big band jazz, which yielded competing sound waves. These where then transfered into visible waves and oriented along the site. This produced a visual quality of tension, or interplay amongst the two proposals. It also provided a formal language for the proposal in total.

Avant Garde Never Gives Up [Fall, 2012] Mikolaj Szoska

Film offers many opportunities for representation. Working through architectural and urban ideas within this medium provides alternative solutions. The cinematic ideas of narrative, point-of-view, duration, and transition cross over into architectural thought. Completing these short films helped to develop an understanding of how space actually performs.

The final project for the Avant Garde studio was not prescribed. Since we were allowed to come up with a project relatable to the short films, I chose to analyze the film “Black and Tan Fantasy”, by Duke Ellington and apply the analysis to an addition to the Duke Ellington School of the Arts.

Schwartz/Silver Architects, Boston, Massachusetts, 2012

I worked with a small group on an expansion proposal for Princeton University’s Humanities department. The project involved re-use of Green Hall, with several addition options. The major challenge of the project was creating a compelling argument to demolish the 1960s addition of a vivarium at the East side of Green Hall. Much of the work I was involved in dealt with test fits to prove the inefficiency of that building. I was also responsible for constructing a 3D model and several renderings of the final proposal.

Working directly under the company head, Bharat Bhatt, I prepared all of the working process and instrumentation diagrams (PIDs) for a juice company expansion. These drawings would be used for the construction of the systems as well as for maintenance after they were up and running.

Big Tree Furniture, East Aurora, New York, 2011

I was responsible for the re-creation of six clothesline posts —which sit nested in between the restored pergola and Toshiko Mori’s Eleanor and Wilson Greatbach Pavillion —and the piano bench for the main unit room of the Martin House. The Darwin D. Martin House clothes line posts functioned more as sculptures in the landscape. They were rarely used to hang clothes. SInce the posts are meant to remain outside year round, each of the six posts are built of cedar and heavily coated to resist Buffalo winters. A final coat of paint was applied before they were set out on their concrete bases. They are located at the heart of the current site configuration, surrounded by the Martin House, the pergola, the carriage house, and Toshiko Mori’s visitor’s pavilion.

Down to Earth Approach [2001 - 2007] Vagrant Records

It became apparent during my second year at SUNY Purchase, that the only logical decision for me was to drop out. I had as great a chance of success as a sculpture major in college, as I did being a musician out of college. The decision seemed simple. My bandmates and I packed up our Western New York lives and moved to Los Angeles. After several years of day jobs in and around Hollywood, we were signed to Vagrant Records and released two albums internationally. We toured to promote these albums for four years, including playing the entire 2006 Vans Warped Tour.

Personal Work [Sculpture]

Sculpture has been an important part of my creative life. It is a great way to work abstractly in a spatial manner. These works were completed for my admittance into RISD.

Railroad Nkisi Nkondi (2009) Found objects - railroad ties, chain, machine parts, cloth, nails, pulleys

Page 105: Graduate Portfolio - John McCampbell

Those who interact with the Nkisi Nkondi sculptures made in the Congo region of Middle Africa will often drive nails or spikes into the body and head to expel evil spirits from their village. In this sculpture, the nails symbolize an effort to reconnect with materials. The simple act of nailing hand made nails into railroad ties can reacquaint one with quality and durability, which may expose the cheapness of modern products.

Still-Lifes (2009) The ability to capture a scene through drawing implies a much deeper reading than the eyes can do on their own. By drawing, we are interpreting an image through the rhythms of our body as we make marks on the page. We are forced to ask questions about three-dimensionality that would normally be taken for granted; taking on issues of how light affects a material, how clarity decreases over large expanses, and how large-scale scenes are experienced as we move through them. Developing an intimate relationship with these issues enables a greater sensitivity in architectural design.
