MEGA * POINTE

Steven T. PuttSince childhood I have had a passion for the built environment. Being a student of architecture at Ball State University’s College of Architecture and Planning has helped me develop that passion into practice and understanding. Despite the endless toil involved with studio, I love what I do in school and I look forward to learning more about architecture every day.

When I am not in studio I enjoy cycling, playing guitar, making friends and spending time with my fiancée, Kayla.

“A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.”

-Louis I. Kahn

MEGA * POINTE is both the title of my portfolio and my developing philosophy. I believe that design in any form should begin with a monumental idea in which people want to experience what becomes of the design. I aim to push the limits in what I design to understand what can be possible. Anything less than such an effort is unacceptable.

CAP RedesignSpring 2012 Professor: Pam Harwood

Project Description: Work as a team to redevelop the University Green. Major objectives included physical connections between CAP, Whitenger Building, and Bracken Library, as well as developing a design that gives identity to the space.

The new College of Architecture and Planning building has been reprogrammed and renovated from its former self. Additions to the building extend from a once isolated footprint in order to interconnect movement across the university green. The essence of the sloped envelope on the south facade is captured by its reinvention through a vertical glass curtain wall with a layered louver and wire scrim skin. The energy of the building that can be captured through design build space and review galleries is now in prime locations for visitors to experience as they move thorugh the college. The College of Architecture and Planning is given a new identity that exemplifies the quality education it offers.

ICMA | ConvergenceSpring 2011 Professor: Antonieta Angulo

Project Description: Create a museum that hosts an embodiment of Indiana’s culture. Site was located along the canal in downtown Indianapolis.

The Indiana Culture Museum is a center for experiencing convergence. Starting with site, the museum converges areas by reaching the extents of the land with three buildings. Those buildings are then introduced to bridges which converge the three buildings into one. The use of moire patterns, which are made possible by the convergence of two groups of lines, are used as the building’s prime aesthetic focus by creating a reval pattern in the prefabricated CMU’s that make up the facades. Green design converges itself with the design criteria with the introduction of a living roof and a daylighting system. This driving force on design even extends itself to the landcape where lawns become built architectural features and orient themselves towards a center. More importanly, the museum converges the many different components of Hoosier culture into a single architectural experience.

CMR SpaFall 2011 Professor: Ana de Brea

Project Description: Explore and create a building and program of one’s own choosing.

The Computer Mediated Reality (CMR) Spa is a place where the user can come to escape our reality as we know it and replace it with another. Users of the CMR Spa experience their stay in three steps: selection of environment, simulation, and coordination & reflection. Virtual environments are experienced through the CMR module for a set length of time. After simulation, the user moves to another room for coordination back to our own reality and reflection on their experience.
