INDEPENDENT PROJECT

I built this boat as a simple result of growing up by the Atlantic on the Gulf of Maine, where the some of the best spots for idle exploration are its rugged coasts. It is with the project where I solidified myself as a maker of things, whereas in school I studied mostly music and maths. It is of marine plywood construction but is styled after the Greenland Qajaq of the Inuit. It is a study vessel but heavy, and so I would like to someday build a traditional frame and skin boat and per-haps invent a foldable adaptation.

.02 SOLAR CHARGING STATION

In collaboration with Sol Design Lab and the Lemelson Center for Design

PROCESS: Analog, Sketch-Up, Prototyping

HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

This was a month long group project with the Sol Design Lab from Austin, TX that aimed to create a shade structure out of photo-voltaic elements that could serve as a venue for quite recreation as well as a place to charge electrical devices. We went through a number of design iterations before arriving at a method that was affordable and constructible. The final product was built on a trailer and employs easily deployable folding benches and table top as to be readily moved as needed around, in this case, the Hampshire College grounds.

.03 BARNACLE HOUSE

PROCESS: Hand Drafting, Model Building, SketchUp

MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

The goal of this project was to design an ultra-compact housing unit that could be used as affordable infill housing in otherwise unused lots. The structure occupies a footprint of only 28sqft but expands upwards into progressively larger upper floors. The lightweight, tensile structure can be built at an awkward end lot or on the side of steep, unoccupiable terrain. The building contains features to make a porous border to the outdoors so as to maximize the feeling and utility of space and is designed to maximize passive solar and water gain.

HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE - RIVERSCAPING DESIGN COMPETITION

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

This project was done as part of an entry for the Riverscaping Design Competition in Western Massachusetts presented by the Five College Consortium and the EU Delegation. The aim was to cross pollinate ideas about art, architecture, planning, and ecology between the two riverine human ecosystems of the Pioneer Valley metropolitan area and the city-State of Hamburg. An entry required a presentation of research and/or concepts to illustrate a particular issue or idea as well as a design for an artistic/architectural installation for one of four sites along the Connecticut River. I chose to explore the possibilities of expanding the regions tourist center bike lane infrastructure to accommodate the large population of low-income commuters. This issue came to my attention through working with the Nuestras Raices community garden project in Holyoke, MA and my research focused on connecting the high-density residential areas occupied by the city’s Puerto Rican population to major places of employment as well as the city’s garden system. The design component, although not completed for the competition, was a strategically placed rest stop for commuter cyclists, which included lit and covered seating, an air pump, etc.

.05 HYDROPONIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT

PROCESS: Rhino, Revit, Adobe Illustrator

AMHERST COLLEGE

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

This project arose out of university partnership between the City of Hamburg and the Five Col-lege Consortium in order to exchange aspirations and methodologies for community, urban, and ecological renewal. The theme proposed here was to assuage the environmental degradation of urban-industrial waterways by dredging artificial basins in the river’s severely dyked banks as to provide an environment for riverside plants and fish spawning. A floating hydroponic greenhouse would filter grey/black water from area homes, use it to grow marketable produce, and then dis-charge the clean, nutrient-rich effluent into the river basin to further promote riverine health.

HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

I began with this project by way of becoming a TA for a class designed to Investigate an alternate approach to the campus’s landscaping needs. The specific site in question and been brush-hogged and neglected but a number of unique native species maintained in the area. The initial design was comprised basically of a scheme to allow the witch hazel on the site to grow into a con-trolled sub-canopy layer as to shade out most of the unwanted, invasive ground growth. The plan very much relied on managing the site as it grew naturally and controlling unwanted growth (ie poison ivy) rather than laboriously reworking the current growth. I produced some comprehensive research and design documents and kept an eye on the site for my remaining years in the area. I obtained money from the college to support acquisition of some plants from Nasami Farms and Andrew’s Greenhouse as well as leading efforts to transplant plants from nearby forests to the site.

.07 EARTHSHIPS

PROCESS: Building

EARTHSHIP BIOTECTURE, LLC

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

I went to Earthships to begin to obtain a technical education in alternative ways to approach basic home utility systems in preparation for my final year thesis. Coming from a rural environment, on-site heating and electrical generation and water catchment and treatment were normal and I wanted to discover how these natural techniques were being used to impact the housing stock in a methodological way. While I did learn a great deal about alternative structures, on-site grey/black-water treatment, and residential solar power I had misgivings with the material and labor intensity involved in constructing and Earthship. As a result I returned to school in order to explore these issues from a design engineering perspective.

Structure

I began this project as part of my thesis work with the aim of basically redesigning an Earthship so that the structure was lightweight, easily (dis)assembleable, and materially unintensive, but maintained the same self-contained utility systems. True to Earthships methodology, I strove to design a universally applicable structure that could be adapted to various development and climactic patterns. The idea was to design a durable and insulative tent structure that could be erected quickly for immediate shelter, and then have various foundations and utility systems that could be added later. However, even with the simple tasks of designing a foundation or set of foundations to be applicable to my three sample sites, the tasks of universal design became apparently futile to me. As such I redirected my research as to explore specific home utility systems in a location of which I could acquire direct knowledge.

HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE - THE NORTH QUABIN GARLIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

I became involved in this project by way of serving as a TA for an experimen-tal course taught by Gabriel Arboleda about alternative, on-site treatment of black-water effluent or, in a word, composting toilets. We began by partnering with the local Garlic and Arts and Festival to design and build a series of composting port-a-potties to accommodate the festival. Upon taking the issue up with the local health board, we informed that we were to have to create a viable demon-stration project before a code exemption could be granted on the scale that we proposed. As a result we build one prototype as a field toilet for the nearby Seeds of Solidarity Farm so that a precedent could be set locally for composting toilets with a design that was sanitary, convenient, and economical. We explored various other aspects of building design with the project, including local material sourcing, material reuse, design for disassembly, etc.

WHATELY

This project arose in tandem with my architectural work reusing material from industrial waste streams as building material. My research explored DEP site records to construct a diagram of industrial, specifically, C&D, waste processes in the region and proposed spatially specific opportunities for intervening on that waste stream in order to reapproriate viable building stock. This research has much to do with both the preceding and succeeding project.

Analyzing Regional Processing of Construction and Demolition (C&D) Wastes

IntroductionThe construction and demolition (C&D) in the US generates between 151 and 216 million tons annually according to EPA estimates. This number is striking as total municipal solid waste generation is approximately 250 million tons. Massachusetts generates approximately 2 million tons be-tween new construction, renovations, and demolitions distributed some-what evenly between residential and non-residential projects of various scales. As land�ll space becomes more di�cult to acquire in the densely populated state and aspirations for recycling increase, the recent solid waste (SW) master plan desires to promote recycling methods like source separation, guidelines for design-for-disassembly construction, etc. How-ever the majority of C&D wastes are still land�lled, largely out of state, and permits for new waste incinerators, a popular destination for wood wastes, remain open. Industry leaders are requesting better opportunities for businesses that wish to make products in-state with these wastes, but there is little understanding of how to enact the recycling and reuse prac-tices espoused in the states SW master plan on a regional level. In order to understand the e�ects of current management practices and identify opportunities for in-state business opportunities for better processing a more detailed management tool that analyzes the spatial movement of wastes through from generation to disposal or reuse and identi�es speci�c content (wood, gypsum board, ABC, etc.) of the wastes on a regional level.

MethodsObtained annual reports to the DEP from Transfer Stations, Land�lls, Incin-erators, and major waste processors showing amount of material processed. In some cases there is detailed information as to speci�c content, how it was processed, and/or where it was transferred. Plotted points of the various stages of processing and disposal as detailed by the DEP reports using Spring�eld as a case study AddressGeocoder func-tion.

Points are adjusted in size as a function of how much material was trans-ferred to that location.

The results of this analysis begins to present the idea that C&D wastes generated in Massachusetts are not being dealt with locally. Although not calculated, the cost of transportation in this paradigm is high.

WMWPF accepts C&D waste from all over the Pioneer Valley. This map shows that little of it processed locally.

Permits for all construction, demolition, and renovation projects are �led municipally and detail the destina-tion for project waste, although amount and detailed composition is not often detailed. If this information was mandated in the permitting process and reports from processing facilities to the DEP were made more detailed, then the information for a complete analysis would be available.

How detailed the information really needs to be is however still an open topic. The goal here was to begin to depict where in-state options for waste processing and reuse could be successful. Even this analysis is ample for showing the lack of recycling and reuse industries in the area. It is an impetus for further market research on the part of entrepreneurs and for the Massachusetts State government to begin providing incentives and support for managing waste locally without relying on land�lls or incineration.

Using these analyst methods along with Network Analyst and Model Builder functions would be helpful in further research, as to determine the total environmental impact by municipality of current methods.

.10 WIND TURBINE

PROCESS: Community Participation, Research, Artistic Studies, SketchUp, Protyping, SolidWorksIn collaboration with David Brossman

INDEPENDENT PROJECT

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

The Quixote Project was conceived as result of a local petition to create a zoning framework for allowing on-site wind turbines on municipal, commercial, and residential properties in a small town on the Maine coast. The ordinance was adopted skeptically as success with onshore wind turbines in the area had been limited. Thus began an attempt to design a home-scale turbine that operated well in turbulent winds and that could be built with materials costing under $1,000 and with the standard facilities of an average machine shop.

Many years and prototypes later we have a design that has achieved impressive power outputs. While the project is currently on hold we are looking forward to finding funding for sustained testing and further design engineering to lower costs of production. The goal of this project is to have a patentable piece of technology that can begin to be marketed to clients in Maine and other coastal areas.

.11 TIMBER FRAMING

PROCESS: Building, SketchUp, SolidWorks

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

My first expereince with timber framing came during the aforementioned compost-ing toilet project. In building the structure for the facility I wanted to incorporate the knowledge I was gaining about industrial waste streams into my design logic. Thus I strove to minimize metal fasteners, make joints that were disassembleable and reuseable, and reuse scrounged materials from the exsisting C&D waste stream. The result was a timber frame structure made from hemlock cut and milled just down the road from our site and constructed exclusively with wooden pegs and structural bolts.

Upon graduation I pursued work as a timber framer so that I might eventually work as a “natural builder” who might design and build affordable and durable residential sturctures with low embodied energy and low energy use. I worked with Bruce Scherer in Orange, MA and then after taking a few workshops with Steve Chappell I went to work for North TImber Associates in Vermont. I was however severly disillusioned with the high-end craft home industry that encomasses most timber frame construction and resolved to find a new career path. I feel the need for exposure to new cultures and new methods before I settle in my community and make a life of creating humane residential systems and health energy infrastructure.
