The layout of the gallery spaces is very simple and minimal yet effective. The top level has a great panoramic viewing deck; its a little unsettling when you're out there as the railing is only waist-high panes of glass.<br />

Most former architecture students might think that sounds pretty crazy, but modeling is my favorite part of the design process, plus it gets me away from the computer screen.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of an initial design model I made earlier this year for a small, 8-10 room hotel on Shelter Island, NY. Shelter Island is located just north of the Hamptons and directly west of Gardiners Bay on the far end of Long Island.<br />

The project is a small bench I designed to explore bent lamination techniques; I posted most of what I accomplished last summer here <a href="http://blog.josephpeltier.com/2011/03/summer-10-furniture-design.html">http://blog.josephpeltier.com/2011/03/summer-10-furniture-design.html</a> and here <a href="http://blog.josephpeltier.com/2011/03/summer-10-furniture-building.html">http://blog.josephpeltier.com/2011/03/summer-10-furniture-building.html</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have since tweaked the geometries slightly based on what I learned while fabricating the bench last summer, here are recent drawings of the bench.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The last formworks I made were out of MDF and after a year a lot of them took on water and I had to toss them out. I took the opportunity to put more thought into designing the formwork so that they will be sturdier and easier to clamp the bent plys, I am planning on making them out of 3/4" plywood.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The most complicated part of the design is where the X-bracing on the sides hits the floor. When I fabricated this part before I made the lamination wider and then bandsawed the bent form at an angle to achieve what appeared to be a compound curve.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After thinking about the project a bit, I decided that this would be a poor detail and really mar the intent of the design. At the size of ply I am using (3" x 1/16") I realized there is a lot of flexibility in the wood and it would be possible for the strips of wood to bend in the way I wanted them to, I just had to analyze the wood's bending geometry in order to make a mold with the correct compound curvature. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The pictures show how I mocked up what the curve would need to be. I drew parallel lines every 1/2" along the wood and used a laser level to record the x,y,z coordinates where each line meet the edges of the wood. I then plotted all the points out in Rhino and after connecting them I was able to generate two 3d splines which represented the edges of the curving surface. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At first I thought that was it, but after recreating the parallel lines I marked on the wood by drawing straight lines from the 3d points on opposite edges, something didn't make sense. Towards the center of the bend the parallel lines started to become slightly shorter, and I realized it was because they were no longer straight.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After looking back at the physical mock up, it was obvious that the horizontal and vertical plane the wood was pressed against was causing it to bend in the shorter direction as well. I marked where along each line the wood began to curve so I could correct the digital model. Here is a video of the digital model as it is now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The color scheme at the end of the video is part of Rhino's curvature analysis. The areas where the surface is not green signifies that the local curvature is too great, and the surface is no longer developable (able to be unrolled to a flat plane). I have to continue to tweak the curves that are creating the surface until everything is green, and then I will have a digital copy of the physical model which I can use to create my compound formwork.</div><br />

The class assignment was to choose a recently built project with a unique structure or form and/or intricate detailing and to model a portion of the building in Revit with parametric components.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Coming from a sketchup and rhino modeling background and having only used Revit very briefly before this class, I was unaware what I was getting into. The project that I chose was the Paul Klee Center in Bern, Switzerland by Renzo Piano; the building is essentially 3 consecutive parabolic waves which jut out of a hillside, creating a roof for and differentiating the programmatic functions of the center (a multi-purpose community area, exhibition space, and administration).</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">Revit makes it very easy to model and draw standard building conventions, however it was certainly a struggle to make Revit do what I wanted it to do for this building. I had to basically create the roof and topography in Rhino and then intersect the forms at intervals to get 2d curves which I could then bring into revit to trace and create surfaces which could be manipulated. Panel-based components and adaptive components were my best friends for this project. Below are the drawings of the project as it is now.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">After about 2 months of frustration and having to re-do things over and over to try different methods, I think I have final begun to understand what Revit likes and doesn't like. Even though Revit makes it a challenge to draw anything other than a box, I do like how it organizes the project and creates an efficient workflow. It is nice to set-up drawing views and then be able to see them develop in real-time as you make changes. Hopefully the hours of frustration I've put into learning this software of the summer will help me to produce drawings and renderings a lot quicker on my next projects.</span></span>jpeltierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369656065635021553noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936194073972723232.post-18491709163059969922011-05-24T16:28:00.001-05:002011-05-24T16:30:15.744-05:00The Wonders of Photoshop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ1q72Coi_tjte5kIzWbjkJxMNE-nSaWcmrKhKW4cqXEc2dbt7qq7TbbdcdBBiX1uMxPyNvzZfcVnY9JGjDHnx9cbx_61ZMCVWhvDm7wPQkuDUDiJV4274jhltcc3oeKSZCczkLedyFGw/s1600/Photoshop+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ1q72Coi_tjte5kIzWbjkJxMNE-nSaWcmrKhKW4cqXEc2dbt7qq7TbbdcdBBiX1uMxPyNvzZfcVnY9JGjDHnx9cbx_61ZMCVWhvDm7wPQkuDUDiJV4274jhltcc3oeKSZCczkLedyFGw/s320/Photoshop+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div>It's amazing what a little photoshop can do for renderings. Now that I have time I'm going back adding some pizazz to the renderings from my high speed rail station which I designed last fall. Adding entourage and tweaking renderings really makes all the difference, its just too bad that its almost impossible to find time to do that before a final presentation. I will add all of the updated images to my website once I'm done!jpeltierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369656065635021553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936194073972723232.post-16897142864405212192011-05-11T09:58:00.001-05:002011-05-11T10:01:03.650-05:00Constructing Creativity<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0T3YvlaiERmy3Npry0i8CDG8KN_GxIfBXqhwGHf8fsei3ryb-43EID83qqZRwajhoMoCDjftfV7CpiLnGM7amBrUaFm-snXaSaoNht9KId568meueJBqrWq1w4cMkcRm2DihIcGt5hA/s1600/FinalBoard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0T3YvlaiERmy3Npry0i8CDG8KN_GxIfBXqhwGHf8fsei3ryb-43EID83qqZRwajhoMoCDjftfV7CpiLnGM7amBrUaFm-snXaSaoNht9KId568meueJBqrWq1w4cMkcRm2DihIcGt5hA/s320/FinalBoard1.jpg" width="174" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCBVfgcVDZVXr3Mp5zHZ32IAiy_KvGygYJsMFJ-uljhE10g_6WMyN3aJxWEhVFuM85j_a55lmGwfrRZs3Dxct6rUClR_8Qr_7mdpx1cMn0heJktf_FZTEMnT5dbCDW7zHp5pBYxBIo6s/s1600/FinalBoard2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXCBVfgcVDZVXr3Mp5zHZ32IAiy_KvGygYJsMFJ-uljhE10g_6WMyN3aJxWEhVFuM85j_a55lmGwfrRZs3Dxct6rUClR_8Qr_7mdpx1cMn0heJktf_FZTEMnT5dbCDW7zHp5pBYxBIo6s/s320/FinalBoard2.jpg" width="174" /></a></div><br />
Here are the boards from my studio this semester that were displayed at IIT's open house. (Unfortunately I think you may have to download the image if you want to zoom in.) The project was an advertising agency and museum on the Chicago River at wolf point. After I do some clean up on a few images and organize everything the project will be added to my portfolio site.jpeltierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369656065635021553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936194073972723232.post-85108631830176206182011-04-10T12:49:00.002-05:002011-04-14T15:41:22.919-05:00Digital/Wood Fabrication UpdateAlthough we still haven't found anywhere to fabricate (cnc cut) our project, I have still been working out my design and it seems to be more and more feasible the more we look at it.<br />
<br />
Another classmate (Konrad) and I have figured out a work flow that will allow me to quickly change geometries in sketchup and transfer guide lines for the wood members into the Dietrich's software so Konrad can specify the cuts and connections that would be needed to construct this.<br />
<br />
Here are some images<br />

I've decided that the most practical construction method will involve having one set of continuous, uncut wood members that are connected by opposing members which are notched and span 3 of the longer members. At each of the notches will be 2 bolts or dowels that connect the members. The Dietrich software can also model these bolt connections and they too can be drilled via cnc at the fabrication plant, allowing us to quickly assemble without error (that is if we find somewhere to cut the pieces for us).jpeltierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369656065635021553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936194073972723232.post-28240350557198606392011-03-16T19:05:00.007-05:002011-03-17T11:12:38.213-05:00Advertising Agency + Museum | Mid-DesignThe following images are from the Mid-Design Review on March 4th<br />

The relationship between the advertising agency and the advertising museum here in Chicago could be most closely modeled after a factory and showroom typology, where the overlapping of manufacture and exhibition grant a poetic wholeness to a process which might otherwise be relegated as capricious. Unlike typical mechanized factory manufacturing, the manufacturing which occurs within advertising is primarily cogitative and therefore much less suited for a common standardized operation designed to maximize efficiency. Instead, a building which facilitates the manufacturing of ideas must be able to adapt to the non-linear and inherently unpredictable operations of its occupants. And in exchange for the typical exhibition modeled after the streamlined product which it showcases, the advertising exhibition must come to embody the dynamic nature of its own works.</span></div><div style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><br />

These are some images of my progress for the 25 percent review in February which was primarily concerned with conceptual design.<br />

To start off, I did a lot of research on how the creative process works and what factors can contribute to a creative environment, which seemed like a good place to start when designing an advertising agency. This is one diagram of my synthesis of that.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the first couple of weeks we also went to visit a few Chicago advertising agencies, including Leo Burnett. What I learned about their operations is that the creative department will usually work in small groups (3-6 people) for a project. This is looking at how individual work environments might interact and influence each other. <i>(click to play)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBqpdhbAq-aVDy5zSVLVZBXwpejzlKBGVjH1rGyu4iyQpxfIr_NWz94JHy_hV2JPl5K9oekFrI06m47kcxataEhbHQpeKEqfuUxzVmHhtujEtU3GxQD5GrZquWYzXNUEdpfPVtJXn7Is/s1600/Office+Diagram.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBqpdhbAq-aVDy5zSVLVZBXwpejzlKBGVjH1rGyu4iyQpxfIr_NWz94JHy_hV2JPl5K9oekFrI06m47kcxataEhbHQpeKEqfuUxzVmHhtujEtU3GxQD5GrZquWYzXNUEdpfPVtJXn7Is/s320/Office+Diagram.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Since we are focusing on using only straight members, I have been experimenting with creating curved surfaces that are ruled (a straight line is able to run through the surface at any point). This has the possibility of adding another level of intrigue to the project.<br />

This design will certainly require us to find a fabricator nearby who will lend us access to a CNC machine. We have just visited a few places in Michigan who were willing to show us around, however they did not have the machine we would need to cut and notch our members. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our goal is to use a CNC machine to construct something that we otherwise could not do by hand, but since we are the first students to go through this course, we might not find a place willing to collaborate with us in time. We should know within the next week if we have somewhere to cut, otherwise we may have to simplify our designs quite a bit.</div>jpeltierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369656065635021553noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936194073972723232.post-16753258426135703642011-03-13T14:47:00.047-05:002011-03-16T15:34:27.649-05:00Wood FabricationOne of my courses this semester is an independent study dealing with detailed digital modeling and fabrication of wood structures. The instructor has started the class with the intent that it will become a seminar course which will work in conjunction with the design/build studios. The work that the other 5 students and I produce is going to help dictate the direction the course will take.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the semester we had a representative come in to teach a software seminar for Dietrich's AG, which the the main program we're using. The purpose of it is primarily for timber frame and post and beam structures with an emphasis on custom wood joinery. The program also provides a ton of information from the digital model for the purpose of fabrication, and has the ability to directly produce code for CNC machines.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the end of the course we will be constructing a small stick-frame structure using 2x4s or 2x6s. We have been experimenting with the software to see what we can do so we can begin designing our class project. Our goal is to create some type of outdoor pavilion using custom joints instead of screws and plates to hold the structure together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a recent project by Kengo Kuma which is a good source of inspiration as it uses the same strategy of custom wood joints and stick construction that we would be trying to do (at a much smaller scale).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div><div>It was still a great class but I wasn't able to finish building my bench (choosing a bent-wood-lamination process didn't help much either). I didn't have access to a working planer or drum sander so I had to strip down 3/32" thick plys of poplar (up to 7 ft long) and try to sand and even them out to a consistent thickness of 1/16". Needless to say, a lot of wood was sacrificed in the process.</div></div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After some practice and experimentation I was able to get fairly consistent results cutting, laminating, and molding the forms. I completed at least one form for each of the different components of the bench, although I haven't seen how it all comes together yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This summer I am planning on making some adjustments to the design and process from things I've learned and hope to use a full wood shop to make a finished bench. I have a feeling that the planar will make my life a lot eaiser.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The first half of the course we looked at a lot of precedents (we even took a trip to check out the Shaker Village community in Kentucky) and we also did some smaller mock-ups of common connection techniques.<br />
<br />
The second half of the course we designed, or choose a design for a furniture piece to build.<br />
<br />
My design was a large bent-wood-lamination bench and here are some drawings and small models for it<br />
<br />
