Rufus A. Lewis Branch LibraryInterior RenovationMontgomery, Alabama To give the library a dynamic and varied atmo-sphere, interior concrete-block is replaced by inhab-itable walls created from modular units. ! ese walls frame interior rooms. Clad in a dark shell, openings reveal a warm, glowing interior which provides per-meability and intimate spaces for work or study. ! e Computer, Cubby, Study, Booth, and Pass-! rough modules envelope the users within thick walls. Assort-ed placement and combination of the modules create a range of personal and collective spaces. A blue thread of light ties the individual units into a singular entity. ! e building façade also gets a civic transfor-mation. ! e glazing and glass # ns of the community meeting room extends the motif of inhabitable, thick walls, and a portico provides depth and shade for the front entry.

Cardiovascular Hospital for Infants and Children

Boston, Massachusetts

Situated along the newly created Rose Kennedy Greenway the hospital utilizes a courtyard to relate to the surrounding context. On Cross Street the court-yard invites visitors to participate with the greenway. As the courtyard space rotates toward Fulton Street, the hospital’s massing adjusts to the smaller scale of the Boston’s North End. ! e courtyards rotation is a dra-matic gesture resulting in an apparent cantilever. ! e circular pivot point provides a varying play of parabol-ic shadows on the interior façade’s screen. ! e outside façade, with its # ns, catches light and gives a sense of motion. On the interior the ground $ oor takes advan-tage of a slopping site with a split level which allows a ventilated and spacious patient admittance space. Additionally, the slope of the courtyard allows both the main and emergency lobby to view the garden. ! e layout of the ground $ oor allows for truck access to service elevators and direct access for ambulances to triage and intensive care units, as well as the emer-gency rooms. ! e patient care $ oor constitutes the top three $ oors and provides separate doctor and patient elevators (which have direct access to the intensive care units on the # rst $ oor), a separate corridor for doctor/nurse circulation, and maintenance rooms adjoining the service areas.

Gerrit ! omas Rietveld Zig Zag Chair

Original, Remake, Plywood

As part of the 3rd year program at the Rural Studio I was required to reproduce the Iconic Zig Zar Chair. We were challeged to discover the process of recreating these chiar through research, drawing, modeling, and building. ! e # nal product yields extensive drawings, jigs, mock-ups, and the actual reproduction of the chair. A% er my time at the Rural Studio I persued designing a Zig Zag chair that did not use mechani-cal hardware to secure the joins. Initially, I hypothe-sised that # nger joints - secured in place with dowls - could handle the stress at the joints. ! is evenually led to the idea and testing of what I call integrated wedge slices. With its sucess I created a chair that eliminated the need for hardware and the need for a continuous wedge. ! e chairs can hold 300+ lbs.

. Number of planks needed is determined by the available lengths and widths. Consider ~381 mm (15in) the minimum necessary width, and the minimum length, ~2438 mm (8ft).

NOTE: select planks with consistent color and grain texture.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS:

NOTE: Chop pieces minimize the occurrence of a any dra-matic bowing along the length of the board. Also piece edges can be run through the jointer to insure smooth joining edges.

Use two square pieces of plywood, or MDF, and two+ triangular wedges cut at 45°, to create a surface at 45° that you can clamp your blanks on. Set table saw blade at 22.5°.

THE ZIG ZAG CHAIR

Using only four elements, the Zig Zag chair's visual simplicity belies a relatively complex construction

Made of oak, black walnut, or cherry, Zig Zag can serve as a chair or a side table.
