Made From Ash, with a hint of walnut for upright sitting. The process of designing this chair depended on the geometry of a 9 layer bent lamination with a 45 degree fillet. After bandsawing the lamination

using a jig, the edges were spoke shaved until smooth. The mortise and tenon legs were notched around this arch, and the rest of the chair follows this element. The back and seats each have a slit which excentuate the grain running along the spine of the chair.

Petajavesi Church Visitor Center by the lake

Adam Lans

ASSEMBLY

The Old Church of Petjvesi is situated right off of a freeway, which creates a parking problem for visitors. Rather than attempt to excavate the existing landscape for parking lot space, a boat house is created to serve as the visitor center. A parking lot can then be located accoss the lake from the church. After parking, visitors are boated across the lake and enjoy panoramic views of the church in context as they approach the church.

A gap is created between the Southern facade and interior (Section AA) which lets in the water from the lake. The Facade is made of a glass, mesh, and wood veener laminate, which permits ambient light into the main space. The water channel also has ambient lighting so as to create caustic water effects in the interior space. This informs occupants when on-coming boats are arriving.

Statement The school is located in East Liberty, between

Whole Foods Market and the proposed Market Hall.

The sites surroundings are highly unusual. The school

faces an unkept alley on the southern portion of the

site. This created a new public front for the school, and

connected shoppers from Whole Foods to the new

Market Hall. The walkway allows the public to appreci-

ate the students work via public gardens and views

into private workshops and garden spaces. This new

elevated walkway and garden will breathe new life into

this underdeveloped and under-utilized area.

In addition to the public walkway, there is a

public cafe on the corner of South Highland Ave. The

public can get their food and take it up to the walkway

level and enjoy the views out towards Shadyside or the

East Liberty Church. The walkway level intersects the

existing pedestrian bridge to connect to the East Bus-

way.

The cafeteria, classrooms, and greenhouse, and

auditorium exist on the lower level. The greenhouse

connects to large outdoor growing area for when the

weather allows for outdoor growing.

Statement Watering systems and appropriate planting are

fundamental for the success of any urban garden. As

such, the school treats these as essential elements in the

spacial organization of the school. Water is collected,

used, and recycled, all within view of the students and

public users in the main wall of the school. Overall, the

goal is to enhance the students and publics under-

standing and engagement with agriculture in an urban

context.

Being a school, security is a prime concern. As

such, there is one entrance into the school. The public

can engage with the walkway, the cafe, the mezzanine

level of the lecture hall, and a public garden where

public workshops can be held.

The school is broken into four main zones. The

public walkway, learning spaces, greenhouse, and

support spaces. The walkway intersects the learning

spaces like interlocking fingers to enhance the connec-

tion between the public and the school. The support

core is concentrated in the rear, against the alley. The

greenhouse pops up around the walkway so the public

can look in and view the plants.

SCHOOL FOR URBAN

AGRICULTURE

The School of Urban Agriculture creates a public walkway from Whole foods to the Farmers market, creating a new identity to an underdeveloped area. The school makes use of natural watering systems which are integrated into the buildings performance, and experience, both privately for the school, and publically for users who utilize the walkway.

The Old Church of Petjvesi is situated right off of a freeway, which creates a parking problem for visitors. Rather than attempt to excavate the existing landscape for parking lot space, a boat house is created to serve as the visitor center. A parking lot can then be located accoss the lake from the church. After parking, visitors are boated across the lake and enjoy panoramic views of the church in context as they approach the church.

Statement The school is located in East Liberty, between

Whole Foods Market and the proposed Market Hall.

The sites surroundings are highly unusual. The school

faces an unkept alley on the southern portion of the

site. This created a new public front for the school, and

connected shoppers from Whole Foods to the new

Market Hall. The walkway allows the public to appreci-

ate the students work via public gardens and views

into private workshops and garden spaces. This new

elevated walkway and garden will breathe new life into

this underdeveloped and under-utilized area.

In addition to the public walkway, there is a

public cafe on the corner of South Highland Ave. The

public can get their food and take it up to the walkway

level and enjoy the views out towards Shadyside or the

East Liberty Church. The walkway level intersects the

existing pedestrian bridge to connect to the East Bus-

way.

The cafeteria, classrooms, and greenhouse, and

auditorium exist on the lower level. The greenhouse

connects to large outdoor growing area for when the

weather allows for outdoor growing.

Statement Watering systems and appropriate planting are

fundamental for the success of any urban garden. As

such, the school treats these as essential elements in the

spacial organization of the school. Water is collected,

used, and recycled, all within view of the students and

public users in the main wall of the school. Overall, the

goal is to enhance the students and publics under-

standing and engagement with agriculture in an urban

context.

Being a school, security is a prime concern. As

such, there is one entrance into the school. The public

can engage with the walkway, the cafe, the mezzanine

level of the lecture hall, and a public garden where

public workshops can be held.

The school is broken into four main zones. The

public walkway, learning spaces, greenhouse, and

support spaces. The walkway intersects the learning

spaces like interlocking fingers to enhance the connec-

tion between the public and the school. The support

core is concentrated in the rear, against the alley. The

greenhouse pops up around the walkway so the public

can look in and view the plants.

SCHOOL FOR URBAN

AGRICULTURE

The School of Urban Agriculture creates a public walkway from Whole foods to the Farmers market, creating a new identity to an underdeveloped area. The school makes use of natural watering systems which are integrated into the buildings performance, and experience, both privately for the school, and publically for users who utilize the walkway.

Statement The school is located in East Liberty, between

Whole Foods Market and the proposed Market Hall.

The sites surroundings are highly unusual. The school

faces an unkept alley on the southern portion of the

site. This created a new public front for the school, and

connected shoppers from Whole Foods to the new

Market Hall. The walkway allows the public to appreci-

ate the students work via public gardens and views

into private workshops and garden spaces. This new

elevated walkway and garden will breathe new life into

this underdeveloped and under-utilized area.

In addition to the public walkway, there is a

public cafe on the corner of South Highland Ave. The

public can get their food and take it up to the walkway

level and enjoy the views out towards Shadyside or the

East Liberty Church. The walkway level intersects the

existing pedestrian bridge to connect to the East Bus-

way.

The cafeteria, classrooms, and greenhouse, and

auditorium exist on the lower level. The greenhouse

connects to large outdoor growing area for when the

weather allows for outdoor growing.

Statement Watering systems and appropriate planting are

fundamental for the success of any urban garden. As

such, the school treats these as essential elements in the

spacial organization of the school. Water is collected,

used, and recycled, all within view of the students and

public users in the main wall of the school. Overall, the

goal is to enhance the students and publics under-

standing and engagement with agriculture in an urban

context.

Being a school, security is a prime concern. As

such, there is one entrance into the school. The public

can engage with the walkway, the cafe, the mezzanine

level of the lecture hall, and a public garden where

public workshops can be held.

The school is broken into four main zones. The

public walkway, learning spaces, greenhouse, and

support spaces. The walkway intersects the learning

spaces like interlocking fingers to enhance the connec-

tion between the public and the school. The support

core is concentrated in the rear, against the alley. The

greenhouse pops up around the walkway so the public

can look in and view the plants.

The school fac-es an unkempt alley on the southern portion of the site. This creates a new public front for the school, and con-nects shoppers from whole foods to the new farmer's market hall. The walkway al-lows the public to appreci-ate the student's work via public gardens and views into private workshops and garden spaces.

The walkway level intersects the existing pedestrian bridge to connect to the east busway.

SCHOOL FOR URBAN

AGRICULTURE

The School of Urban Agriculture creates a public walkway from Whole foods to the Farmers market, creating a new identity to an underdeveloped area. The school makes use of natural watering systems which are integrated into the buildings performance, and experience, both privately for the school, and publically for users who utilize the walkway.

Petajavesi Church Visitor Center by the lake

Adam Lans

ASSEMBLY

The Old Church of Petjvesi is situated right off of a freeway, which creates a parking problem for visitors. Rather than attempt to excavate the existing landscape for parking lot space, a boat house is created to serve as the visitor center. A parking lot can then be located accoss the lake from the church. After parking, visitors are boated across the lake and enjoy panoramic views of the church in context as they approach the church.

A gap is created between the Southern facade and interior (Section AA) which lets in the water from the lake. The Facade is made of a glass, mesh, and wood veener laminate, which permits ambient light into the main space. The water channel also has ambient lighting so as to create caustic water effects in the interior space. This informs occupants when on-coming boats are arriving.
