- 4. FABLAB IDEASFROMTHECLOUDS BRINGLIFETOPRODUCTSBELOW This project combines program elements that are part of two very different worlds: the grounded and hands on world of making real products, and the abstract world of making ideas. Spaces such as the studios and the live work spaces are places where these worlds coincide.All aspects of the project that deal with the realities of making are molded by the reality of the existing building and the ground of the surrounded site. The parts that are dedicated to the more abstract side of education hover above the ground in structures that are inspired by clouds. They barely touch the ground and are not bound by the perimeter of the existing building. The building’s shell (the “iconic part”) will remain mostly intact while the program spills out of natural orifices as necessary for the operation of the new program.

Light emitting fins are spread throughout the project. These enhanced fins provide exterior light for the project. Light cartridges clip into the fins, creating an integrated lighting system for the project. Flourescent bulbs are located under the translucent plastic cover. Fins are bolted to C-channel. These pannels are asembled on the ground. The resulting pannels are bolted to the outside of the building.

- 12. PERISCOPEPROJECT SIMULTANEOUSEXPERIENCE OFTWOWORLDS The true picture of Cocodrie Louisiana is not complete without viewing it from two different perspectives. From above it resembles a desert: the flat uninhabited land stretches out for miles. But, from within it is an intimate forest that teams with life. This exhibition center allows the visitors to have multiple experiences simultaneously. Through the use of periscopes visitors can see the view from above while remaining within the tall grass. In another section of the project visitors can peer under the water while remaining relatively dry. After visiting this floating attraction visitors will have a complete understanding of everything Cocodrie has to offer. 10
- 13. H I G H T I D E L O W T I D E The above diagrams demonstrate how the visitor’s experience is achieved. The periscopes used are large, producing images no less than two feet square. As a mechanical means of bringing the image to the viewer they require no electricity. The periscopes are spread and aimed so that visitors can see in all directions. For those who desire, there is one ten foot long periscope to provide a more panoramic view. The exhibition center is designed to float with the tide in such a way that the passage of the tide is evident to the visitors. During high tide visitors can wade in the rising water without being sucked in to the mud below. In the event of a storm surge, the center can float safely out of harm’s way while remaining in the same geographical location by means of tall pilings extending up from the deck. 11

The center floats on the water while being pinned in place by pilings that extend past the muck and into the firmer soil below. This 1/2 inch model is intended to talk about the construction of the project. The stereotomic concrete elements are represented by the homasote. The remaining tectonic elements are pinned to the mass by moving joints or fit into purpose formed cavities. 14

In life, Judd transformed the town by filling many vacant buildings (including the army base that serves as the site) with his art. Now his foundation of followers wants to add a building to display the work of a visiting artist. In keeping with Judd’s lack of consideration for human comfort, the building was built under the assumption that the foundation would not air condition the building. Instead the building works with the desert climate to remain cool. Also in keeping with the foundations beliefs, precious art does not mix with everyday activities. Offices and amenities are on the ground level with the art on a plain by itself. The building stands humbly and ready to serve the needs of the visiting artist. 16

- 22. CHIHULYFAUXFOREST Dale Chihuly often displays his organic glass sculptures in forests: either in the existing landscape, or in ones entirely manufactured of glass. To display a solitary piece on a traditional museum pedestal would fail to convey the artist’s intent. When considering how to display the piece properly I was inspired by the modern zoo. I created an approximate representation of the piece’s natural habitat: a surreal glass forest. The design of this project was completed in second year but appears here with new graphics. The rendering seen on the facing page was completed using Kerkythea. AHABITATFORGLASS When the piece is separated from its natural habitat a surrogate must be created. 20
