Approximation of a Generation

private tremendous

status : complete

“Just when you think you’ve got Private Tremendous figured out, singer/guitarist Ken Marold announces, “We’re going to slow it down for a minute,” and then they shift gears completely…PT is fundamentally a rock band, but it’s also a reggae, ska, funk, soul, electronica and metal band…”

Motif

“Jam band, stoner rock — call it whatever, but word is soon to be out about homegrown alterna-rock quartet Private Tremendous.”

status : on-going

Our world was dying, humanity on the brink, until a discovery between the harmonic pairing of precise spectral wavelengths and sound frequencies combined with focused magnetism revealed a strange quantum relationship that unlocked something unexpected on our world. Once fused into a crystalline matrix, a triplen harmonic emerged that revealed a massive helical quantum entity. Seven specific entities were identified over time, each leading to brilliant organic and inorganic advances in energy development, environmental rehabilitation, material durability, physical agility, stealth, defensive technologies, and metaphysical manipulation.

This is the story of the Prism.

Elemental Worlds

status : complete

The Science Museum Oklahoma Elemental Worlds exhibit consists of a two-part custom designed hardware/software system co-authored with Pete Froslie. The interactive exhibit fully engages and immerses visitors into a virtual dynamic environment and includes both touch-based interactive experiences and ultra-wide panoramic projected environments.

Visitors design an array of digital creatures and customize their selection through a set of digital drawing tools. Using a touchscreen, visitors use touch gestures to apply color, select drawing tools and bring their creations to like within a surrounding projected virtual environment. The projected environment is a rich and immersive experience with time-of-day-based dynamic lighting and weather, gorgeous atmospheric effects and interactive AI driven wildlife.

Despite its playful, lighthearted nature, the project offered a number of research opportunities. Of primary note, the development of novel processes to dynamically consume two-dimensional visual data and apply it as a wrapper to three-dimensional objects that are projected in real-time.

Through extensively exploring site opportunities and the relationship between landscape and architectural tectonics the studio arts building is a study of the inter-relationship between building-form and land-form.

Between the earthen upheavals that create a pleated horizontal landscape and the vertical continuation of folded metal forms lies the fissure. These cracks, opened though an internal process between the architectural forms, landscape elements and the artist reveals dynamic relationships in which flows the creative soul of the entire environment.

Surface Flux

Untitled-1

Surface Flux

python, c#, grasshopper, pla, wood, steel

status : complete

Surface Flux is an architecturally driven exhibit of spatial exploration through computationally designed and digitally fabricated surfaces. Each of the three surfaces have been inspired by a philosophical text that describes networks, objects or an individual’s relationship with their environment. The exhibit was created by Deborah Richards and Ken Marold and combines their unique and complimentary research and design interests.

Computational design is a specific process where algorithmic or step by step logic is used to generate a design. We see algorithms with feedback loops generating design all around us in nature – from snowflakes to trees to the swarming behavior of a flock of birds. Architects have been designing computationally for hundreds of years by allowing embedded characteristics of materials to perform calculations. For the past 30 years architects have primarily used computers and digital tools to generate computational designs that explore materials and structures that can address a variety of problems in the built environment or create new types environments.

Using computational processes and experimental 3D printing techniques, each surface in the exhibit Surface Flux engages the malleability of plastic and form, yielding artifacts that are both similar yet unique. Deborah and Ken experimented with computer code, the material characteristics of the plastic and the capabilities of the 3D printer to develop components that were light weight but structural, could fluctuate between aggregating as a surface or maintaining their identity as an object, and could play with light, shadow and projection. As the components aggregate together through specific rule sets, networks emerge as distinct surface conditions. These network patterns are further extended through a series of mapped projections that function as a dynamic overlay, an immersive network layer upon the physical surfaces.

Andraditic Mass

status : complete

With its initial beginnings as a milling exercise to produce a series of mitered polygons that form a single complex polyhedron, new opportunities for exploration emerged with the idea of introducing layers of real-time interaction.

Continuing research into responsive surfaces, I am looking at integrating physical computing, computer vision and responsive movement within the polyhedron shell. These three systems offer a huge range of fabrication and embedded electronics research opportunities that I have started to explore. My goal after this initial research will be to bring these systems up to an architectural scale in order to study the impact of these responsive systems in built environments.

Meeting Street Center for Excellence

providence, rhode island

status : complete

While designing at SA Architects I was given the opportunity to conceptualize, design and develop the Meeting Street Center, a 76,000-square-foot building situated on a nine-acre campus specializing in special-needs educational, therapeutic and diagnostic services to over 3,000 children and their families each year.

The main design objectives for the campus include: creating a dialog between an unfolding urban landscape and the natural environment, developing public spaces that engage students through overlapping meeting spaces, indoor gardens and galleries, outward gestures into the landscape to engage its surroundings, an expansion and contraction of spaces in order to create private/intimate corridors that morph into public/social spaces for gatherings, and fragmented/linear circulation that combines notions of “hallway” (mechanical) and “pathway” (organic).
