Setting up both linked and stand alone projects, working in teams, revit data exchange with cad, working with worksets, working with revit elements and families, creating and modifying levels, working with grids, adding and modifying walls, working with compound and vertically compound walls, using editing commands to add walls, adding and modifying doors and windows, loading additional building components, adding and modifying component families, managing views controlling object visibility, using dimensions and constraints, placing dimensions and tags, applying and removing constraints, creating and modifying floors, adding and modifying ceilings, adding and modifying roofs, adding curtain walls, creating stairs and railings, detailing and drafting, creating callout views working with detailed views, working with drafting views, construction documentation, creating and modifying schedules, creating rooms and room schedules, creating legends and keynotes, presenting the building model, working with drawing and printing sheets, working with title blocks, creating renderings, using sun and shadow settings.

*The design of the model was perscribed by Ideate Inc. and generated throughout the Revit Training Course. The portfolio display is intended to demonstrate Revit drafting and production competency, not a conceptual design project (Layouts 1-2).

Population Density

Opportunistic Park(ing): A Distributed Pedestrian Network

Thesis 2012: California College of the ArtsInstructor: Brian Price

This thesis proposes ulterior means of producing public space within the city.

The research has focused on where current policy for public space making is ineffective and where there are opportunities to propose alternative strategies in both locating and implementing these spaces.

This design experiment exploits an economy of means both politically and conceptually to illuminate how policy may be augmented to produce public space that will better serve the city.

Architecture/Policy Precedents:

Precedent analysis provides strategies of architecture as policy.

- Re-conceptualize space as public, as with Rebar's Park(ing) project (1).

- Provide an open frame work for programming and interaction, as with KGDVS & Dogma Architecture's urban strategy for Seoul, Korea (2).

- Provide a pedestrian thoroughfare as an alternative to, or extension of the sidewalk, expanding and contracting into a variety of public spaces. These strategies are exemplified in the Highline, by Diller Scofidio Renfro and James Corner Field Operations (3).

KATE GANIMALL WORK BY:

INSTRUCTORS:

WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PERFORMANCE HALLS TO THE SOUTH AND NORTH EAST, OUR SITE AND THE NEW UC DAVIS MIXER PLUS BUILDING WILL BECOME A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE ON CAMPUS. THE SITE IS LOCATED AT THE THRESHOLD BETWEEN THE FORMAL MALL LEADING TO MRAK HALL AND THE INFORMAL ARBORETUM, AND HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING STUDENTS FROM THE ARTS, SCIENCES, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES TOGETHER IN BOTH SCHOLASTIC AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS, ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION ON THE UC DAVIS CAMPUS.

THE MIXER PLUS BUILDING ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY ALLOWING ACCESS THROUGH THE SITE BY TOUCHING THE GROUND AS LIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. THE ATRIUM SPACE IS CIRCLED BY THE THICKENED PROCESSIONAL CIRCULATION, BRINGING LIGHT AND AIR DOWN THROUGH THE ENTIRE BUILDING, AND EXTENDING SOCIAL SPACES OUT OVER THE ATRIUM. THE VISUAL AND ACOUSTICAL CONNECTIVITY AROUND THE ATRIUM CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION.

Exotic VariablesInstructor:Thom FauldersSpring 2011

CompressiveCompressive

Abu Dhabi is a car culture. The vast distances between destinations, the extreme heat and sand storms, the quality of the existing public transportation systems, and the current low cost of petrol in the United Arab Emirates make the automobile the default means of travel.

Compressive looks at this existing condition and more specifically, the car as a representation of human beings’ very worst and very best achievement. The way western society, and emerging societies around the world have implemented the automobile is both irresponsible and inexcusable. While the resources consumed to manufacture and operate the car are astounding, the personal freedom the car affords is something that every society should strive for. The car is an integral component of our existing lifestyle, and one that will not fade without a reexamination of our entire public transportation system.

Compressive reexamines the interaction between the person and the car at various scales and questions the current understanding of the parking lot as a type of “service space.” It looks forward to a time when emissions will be reduced and people and cars may inhabit the same spaces comfortably given that safety, congestion, and the integration of various forms of transportation have been resolved. These “service spaces” that we call parking lots may eventually be seen as destinations in themselves.

“We have no choice but to reformulate the dialectical constituents of the world, to determine more consciously the necessary links obtaining between place and production, between the ”what” and the “how.”... With the manifest exhaustion of non-renewable resources the techno-topic myth of unlimited progress becomes somewhat discredited and, at this juncture, the production of place returns us by way of economic limit not to architecture, but to the... [Heideggarian notion] of Blaukunst ... Since what is fatally tied to the relevant optimal sub-categories of production, not only those of built form itself, but also those structurally productive forces that implicitly shape the built environment as elements of our relations to nature.”

- Kenneth Frampton

The erosion of the Peace Plaza at JapanTown enabled a more direct access between the existing sidewalk elevations at Post and Geary street using ADA ramp standards to influence the path and location. This erosion also exposed the existing structural columns that could be exploited for new construc-tion. This project explored parasitic architecture as the most extreme form of Critical Regionalism and the future of Car/Pedestrian interaction.

Studio 3x3x3 is a 3 week intesive summer course at CCA. Three, 1 week charettes, were developed for the China Basin waterfront in San Francisco.

Week 1 introduced Maya hair diagramming as a design tool to develope a Ferry Terminal & Event Pavilion at peir 48.

Week 3 utilised Grasshopper for Rhino as a design tool for a pedestrian bridge from Peir 48 to AT&T Park.

Interpreting Drape: Formal Strategy

Draping Architectural Topography as it Traverses MA+C Site

Acknowledging Architectural Topography Instructor:T. Faulders

The architectural amplification of topography throughout San Francisco, the “city of hills,” is a condition that the museum of architecture communicates. While this condition will continue to evolve with the built environment, the amplification is a product of code at the scale of the city, the neighborhood, the block, and the building.

The buildings surrounding the MA+C site step down from 40+ stories to 15+ stories and finally to the ground level of the plaza adjacent to our site & the Yerba Buena center. The existing flow of architectural topography cuts through the proposed volume of Architectural Museum creating a novel condition of interior and exterior spaces.

The series is comprised of 3 cast bronze belt buckles. These works question the notion of patriotism and ones own relationship to it. Every symbol used can be interpreted differently with both positive and negative connotations depending on perspective.
