GROW

norman, oklahoma

status : on-going

Prairie Slider was created to celebrate our connection to nature and build individual, family, and social interactions. Whether you want to create a space for community collaboration or learning, set up a private or group studio to inspire creativity, cultivation, well-being or fitness, or if you just want a private transformative space to recharge and refresh your senses, Prairie Slider is designed and crafted for openess, flexibility, and natural beauty.

Started as a collaboration between professional builder and architect craftsmen, Prairie Slider systems are designed and developed from the ground up to be elegant, performant, and rock-solid. All structural connections are bolt-thru and use heavy-gauge custom fabricated steel joints and turnbuckles. Our UV protected, quadruple layered outer wall is leakproof, hail resistant and thermally insulated. We use the highest quality hardware, materials and finishes out there. We love creating beautifully crafted spaces, designed and built with exquisite quality and detail. If these things matter to you as well, we should talk.

Prairie Slider systems are built on a heavy-duty deck and foundation and every part is manufactured 100% in the United States. Contact us today and share your amazing ideas with us on how you want to use your Prairie Slider. We offer an array of different sizes to meet a wide variety of needs, from solo activites, to family gatherings, to group congregations and anything in between.

Renegades: Bruce Goff and the American School of Architecture

Renegades

Bruce Goff and the American School of Architecture

grasshopper, rhino, cnc, pla, corrugated cardboard

status : complete

Joined exhibition team as principle fabricator for all furniture and signage components in the exhibit. Components developed include:

  • nine 8′ tall typographic elements,
  • nine 9′ long freestanding workstations,
  • one 32′ long bench,
  • three architectural drawing display tables ranging in length from 7-12′
  • one virtual reality workstation
  • four stools

Initiated fabrication, construction, joinery, and material research used for developing a novel assembly system and production workflow for creating of a collection of furniture pieces and large-scale objects using honeycomb cardboard and wood.

Subsequent R+D resulted in a provisional patent :

Marold, K., Honeycomb Cardboard Edge Insert Component that Creates a Reinforced, Rigid Edge and Continuous Connection Surface Allowing for Crush-Resistant Edges and Continous, High Surface Area, Edge-to-Face and Edge-to-Edge Fastening of Multiple Honeycomb Parts, ID Number: 62/954,239, Patent Type: Provisional, Application: December 19, 2019, Approved: December 27, 2019.

Also developed and instructed a supporting student fabrication seminar titled ” Topological Ecotones”

The work produced in this seminar were also included in the Fred Jones exhibit.

Ecotones are transitional regions that bridge two distinct biological communities, for example, the zone between a forest and grassland. As such an ecotone contains overlapping characteristics of two biomes, and often contain a mixture of plant and animal species from each adjacent ecosystem. Ecotones are patchworks, edge conditions and are typically more dynamic biologically and topographically than their adjacent communities. In your design investigations you will identify and develop digital processes that explore distinct topographical conditions that amplify and articulate these edge conditions. These unique ecotones can push against the boundaries of earthly terrains and explore hypothetical, other-worldly terrains. In so much of the work done by American School architects, there is also a presence of distinct material ecosystems that converge in dynamic and energetic ways, creating architectural ecotones in their own right. In keeping with this spirit, our work will explore particular topics of tectonic intersection, connections with nature and topographical extremes.

Gaze

voyeurism

Gaze

wire, paper

status : complete

Constructed as a physical visualization that captures the interactions, glances and gazes between the characters from their respective apartments in Alfred Hitchock’s, Rear Window. The development of each nodal zone defines a spatially unique room from which each character is gazed upon by an unknowing subject. I would like to continue exploring this form of storytelling as a larger spatial construct for people to occupy and to incorporate interactive projection elements as a means to overlap additional layers of information upon physical forms.

CRCUIT

albuquerque, new mexico

status : complete

While sidewalks create the potential for local interaction, few use them due to sprawl. As a result, the city’s collective memories are fragmented and discontinuous, or forgotten. This new circuit allows for local exchanges to reside, to leave residual traces for others to observe. If people cannot genuinely pass by each other, the next possible means would be for their presences to interact and remain for others to observe and take part in that experience.

This intervention of reclamation is a hack upon the city grid, burning new circuitry specifically for individuals to circumvent ‘the grid’ and flow over it at a pedestrian time scale instead of the compressed scales of speed and efficiency. This new circuitry provides the captured catalogues of visitors’ experiences, a free zone of both immediate and residual interactions, within an area that previously provided no such means.

As a conceptual exercise, this project was important for me in the discovery of ‘lost time’ and the artifacts of life and community that evaporate during times of stress, re-focus and change. From this idea of social documentation within an architectural space came a research trajectory of examining the potential of computer vision as way to absorb these public interactions and projection mapping and responsive surfaces as a means re-present this social data within local or remote spaces.

National Institute of Flamenco

National Institute of Flamenco

old town, santa fe, new mexico

status : complete

The National Institute of Flamenco had been occupying a retired auto garage in Albuquerque. In 2006 it acquired a corner lot directly in Old Town on the Santa Fe Plaza and desired a more dynamic and appropriate identity. Aside from housing the current program found in their existing location, the institute needed to expand considerably to include additional areas of performance art; music and multimedia/digital choreography. Additionally, a cafe/club component with small sound stage was required that linked back strongly to the plaza.

The building had to maintain strong social connections to its surrounding urban fabric. The site had to maintain porosity, the ability for the passerby to infiltrate and occupy public and semi private outdoor elements within the institute’s boundaries. Also, the institute needed very strong connections between the workshop studios, gallery and café and the surrounding environment so as to engage visitors within the general proximity of the institute.

The cleaved plan is a metaphor for a pierced heart and a direct representation of the inspirational imagery found in the poetics of duende flamenco: the broken heart and the splinter that pains the soul, informs an architecture that roots towards a historically rational perception embattled in translations of the immediate. An evolution of Spanish-Pueblo Style expands form and aesthetics into a hybridization that embraces a regionally familiar massing with updated techniques in building and surface technologies. The new institute embodies an expressive freedom that celebrates the moment while retaining fundamental social and cultural southwest traditions.

Northerly Island Nature Center

Northerly Island Nature Center

chicago, illinois

status : complete

Creating a dialogue between building and site, the nature center complex creates an interdependent relationship between Chicago’s social and natural systems while creating a place to get away and relax from the dense network of the city. The circulation flow weaves a series of disconnected buildings into a singular cohesive campus comprised of four distinct programmatic entities. The connective tissue between these buildings become the circulatory system through the complex, it is also the location of exterior activities and gatherings. Consisting of public plazas, event decks, botanical gardens, boat slips, cafes and public art and performance spaces these areas of public collection turn the nature center into more than simply a place to get away, but rather a place of arrival.

The plan of the complex addresses specific site aspects such as maximized views toward the harbor, city and habitat, alignment with the waterfront and boating/beach culture and creating a parallel orientation with initial visitor approach. The sectional qualities of the complex aim to address environmental conditions such as optimal solar gain, predominant wind direction during both summer and winter months, and the penetration of natural light.

Corrales Community Pathway + Pedestrian Park

Written by on . Posted in Architecture. Leave a Comment

Corrales Comunity Pathway + Pedestrian Park

corrales, new mexico

status : complete

The current pathway along the shoulder through Corrales, New Mexico is a wasteland, an unsafe, poorly maintained, hostile space where pedestrians, realistically have no place. The challenge of this project was to transform an isolating and dangerous highway shoulder from an unsafe, unstable and detached space into a place of engagement, immersion and balance, centered around the pedestrian’s experience and their safe travel along the Corrales Road Commercial Corridor.

In addition to designing a safe and enjoyable pathway, secondary automobile circulation needed to be addressed. From studying the unobstructed nature of automobile access off Corrales Road, there was an underlying need to consolidate vehicular circulation, relegating its access along existing crossroads with connections and parking located behind clusters of adjacent commercial businesses.

Lastly, the goal in developing a larger community park within the commercial core of Corrales was to create a social center for community activities and individual repose. The design aesthetic was executed through traditional agricultural patterns and proportions. The design and layout of the landscape reflects long lots, celebrating the village’s deep ties to acequia-based farming. The landform shapes and overall tectonics of the community park are derived from soil architecture, planting patterns and mechanical forms.
