The centerpieces were created for California Polytechnic State University’s annual SEAOC Structural Forum. The theme of the 2007 Structural Forum was “Structural Expression in Archi-tecture”. I wanted to use steel for the design because steel inherently has the association of structural elements. However I wanted to organize the steel elements in a fl uid, organic fashion to express an element of art.

I was given a $1000 dollar budget to produce approximately 50 centerpiec-es. The design had to be simple, el-egant and create a lasting impression. I came up with the concept after doo-dling in class. The concept was simple enough to produce in a weekend. The sand blasted bases took the longest time to produce and were outsourced to a local trophy shop. The actual struc-ture was welded by my roommate and produced in one day. We created a jig to allow for faster repetition and well as conformity within the 50 centerpieces. After welding, I cleaned the structure of fl ux and any remain residue and sprayed the entire centerpieces with two layers of clear coat paint.

The steel staircase structure was designed for a residence in Shell Beach, Califor-nia. The layout of the stairs was given to me by the designer Bill Isaman of Isa-man Designs in San Luis Obispo. As the project engineer, I was placed in charge of sizing and placement of the steel framing members. In my initial designed I relied on posts, but after further review, I removed all posts and created a framing plan that would be self supported by the exterior walls.

The stair stringer acts as a post, supporting the cantilevered beam above. After analyzing the structure in a computer analysis program called Risa 3d, I was then placed in charge of detailing the connections of the various members as well as detailing the structural connection to the exterior walls.

In addition to designing and detailing the staircase, I also design and detailed the structural and lateral elements of the entire house.

For my senior project, my partner and I decided to try something different than the standard structure. We convinced our advisor to allow us to redesign suspension arms for a 1990 Chevy ¾ Ton Truck for off road racing. We analyzed suspension design and took into account shock placement, camber and axle path. After coming up with an initial design, we inputted the design in a graphical 3d program and placed stresses on the design to see the capacity and effi ciency of the design. Once the analysis was completed we fabricated the arms and placed them on the truck.

Unfortunately funding ran dry to complete the rest of the truck and real world testing of the arms was never conducted. ACO

In 2006, a few of my fellow students and I entered in a temporary housing design competition called Design Village. The structure we designed was made of PVC piping on a wood 2x4 base. The design would call for a level base but the ground would be uneven. I came up with this design of using scrap steel found in a junk yard for a steel footing with a height adjustment. The design would allow for easy placement of wood base members on top w/ bolts to connect. The design was a quick and simple fi x for the situation and served its purpose well. However the design was bulky and a little awkward to adjust.

The sketch is hand drawn, detailing the footing construction for a welding student to fabricate. In the detail, plan and section views are drawn for the two piece footing. The base is a simple plate with a ¾” all thread, welded at the base with a nut to provide a more secure connection. The upper portion has a nut, welded to angles and a plate and can be rotated to achieve the height change. In the de-sign, I accounted for 8” of height adjustment.
