SolarDecathlon

Collaborative effort of over 800 students and facult from the Penn-sylvania State University for the 2007 Solar Decathlon com-petition on the national mall in Washington, D.c.

After the initial design phase our 15 person studio section was challenged with designing the cladding and interior design scheme of the building

Our studio concluded with presentations, a physical mock up and scale model, as well as a full set of construc-tion drawings to pass along to the next de-sign team

SolarDecathlon

After the week long decathlon, Penn State (in its debut year for the 3 time decath-lon) ranked

fourth place out of the 20 Universities competing

Some of its higher marks included points in Engi-neering, mar-key viability, communica-tions, applianc-es, water use, and lighting. It scored 8th in the architec-ture category

Reclaimed Slate Solar Shingles Mayer’s Dairy (PA) Solar “Bottle” Wall

The final design used advanced technology as well as vernacular

ideas on architecture. A notable example of this combination of vernacu-lar and new ideas was the reclaimed slate sheathing combined with new solar shingle Sheathing from europe. Other examples are Pennsylvania bluestone floors combined with radiant heat flooring, water filled bot-tles from a local diary as a passive solar wall, and wood from a tree that fell down on campus during a storm to make the interior funrishings.

KatrinaHouse

Hurricane Ka-trina was one of the worst disasters to strike the U.S.

Waveland, Miss. was at the epicenter of the storm and the 25 foot storm surge wiped the town off of the map

A family who’s home was com-pletely de-stroyed ap-proached Penn State for the task of design-ing a new home for them, with only a few re-quests. There was no record of the previous home on the site except for a bare slab

Kate Doering’s“Dream” Home

The Doering Residence

The Project began with each of the 16 students in the studio designing their idea of Kate’s dream house based on the client meeting

Courtyard Scheme: Connection of the house on its artificial ground plane with a tiered court-yard

Bar Scheme: Derived from the vernacu-lar Dog Trot to utilize natural ventilation and serparate the building into public and private buildings around a pier.

Great Room Scheme:Central core with vari-able elements that can be added or removed, or destroyed in a hurricane without affecting the main functions of the house

Katrina House

After a month of designing and refining, the client came back in to review the 16 individual de-signs and the 3 team designs

From this meeting we created the final design of the Doer-ing residence and a set of construction documents for them to take to a contrac-tor and get the house built.

The Doring Resi-dence

Two buildings. One pub-lic function, one pri-

vate; split in the middle with a breezeway that stretches all the way into the backyard to

connect to a grandmoth-er apartment connected

at the end

Urban

Renewal

_Southwest D.C. was one of the first “New Urbanist” devel-opments, and it failed miserably

_An entire sec-tion of d.c. was leveled for the brutalist fed-eral center, A place that to this day acts as a barrier be-tween the mall and the water-front less than a mile away

_Using water as the major inspiration for my partner and I, we created the Southwest Harbor area that spreads throughout southwest D.C. to revitalize the currently dismal state of development

Southwest Harbor: Heart of the New D.C.

_Then: Destruction of culturally Di-verse Neighborhoods of southwest D.C.

for I-395 and the federal center (1960’s)

_Now: No public domain, brutalist one use buildings, no sense of location, and

no connection to the waterfront

_Diagram: How the SW harbor can become a connector for all of the communities and tourists around the potomac river

_Transportation is complex in SW D.C.

_Incredibly most of the area is a poten-tial flood zone that occasionally does

fill with water

_The proposed ferry system creates

the need for a harbor area that can at-tract tourists, create a place for new residents to gather, act as a riparian buffer between the hardscaped city and the river, and generate growth

throughout southern D.C.

Urban

Renewal

_The grand promenade uses water to carry people along several nodes to the harbor. A gateway, shops, open plaza, solar canopy, and grand stair lead you down to a vibrant wa-terfront with shops, bars, and museums

_New neighbor-hoods and mixed use buildings balance the scales of the monumental gov-ernment build-ings while cre-ating a live work environment

_Cisterns below the main water feature of the promenade in-form the public that storm wa-ter management is important to their city

Urban Context

_The site lies at the inter-section of a major passen-ger railway and the newly proposed plaza along the 10th street prom-enade

_ In response to the ur-ban context, the building must...• Be part of a large area of transit • Be mixed use in order to work with sur-rounding pro-gram• Buffer the scales of the buildings in

the area• Respond to the solar and wind needs of the site

10th and Maryland

Preliminary WorkThe building will respond to its urban context, but most imporantly for our fu-ture, the earth’s context

The building will be broken up with light well spaces that bring in day-lighting, cross ventilation, as well as complimenting the original city grid of L’Enfant

It will step back on the north side to al-low muted light into the spaces and step forward on the south side to shade the harshest rays

The surface area of the East and West walls will be minimized to reduce prob-lems of unwanted sunlight

The south facade will be a double skin of solariums and building integrated solar panels for energy collection and ventilation

_The site is part of an urban, district, neighborhood, and local context

Project Time: 5 Weeks

Urban Context

_The building tries to make sense of the com-plex sectional quality of the area, the overall D.C. grid and the environment

_The plans emerge from the lot boundaries and break up into separate tow-ers to allow for privacy, sunlight, and air flow

_As the towers break up, areas left over become green space and in turn create community spaces in the sky

_Blanketing the collection of tow-ers is the solar responsive BIPV wall that either acts as a simple double skin wall, creates solarium spaces, or a acts as a decorative shade wall

Urban Context

_Choosing a mixed use com-munity in our Promenade scheme our two person group split and designed our own building within

_My mixed use commercial/office/resi-dential build-ing tries to respond to the original L’enfant plan city grid, the new shopping promenade, and to the climate of the area to create a com-munity that is internally and externally re-sponsive

Project Time: 5 Weeks

Urban Context

_Notice how the program of the building adjusts from public to pri-vate as is breaks into smaller and more specific pro-gram elements

Project Time:

Urban Context

_The buildings design as well as details that allow the user to control their environ-ment allow the building to adapt to mul-tiple comfort levels for the tenants

_From eleva-tion to eleva-tion we can see the design intention of breaking tow-ers that lean towards the sun

Urban Context

_While the building it-self creates intrigue, its big accomplish-ment is how it fits into the overall urban fabric

_The building does not for-get the two most impor-tant contexts of all, nature and the ten-ants who live in it
