2Digital Morphogenesis A COMPUTATIONAL HOUSING TYPOLOGYGraduate Thesis Fall 2011-Spring 2012 PROJECT MENTOR: Timothy Hemsath

My thesis was a design project that explored the integration of computational tools into an architectural design process through the means of a parametrically driven, multi-criterion framework. Architecture firms use computers to streamline processes and largely engage computers for standard representation and documentation purposes. This has increased the efficiency of the traditional approach to architecture. However, through computational methods, the nature of an architectural design can be imbedded within a system of internal parametric relationships. This process allows for the creation of computationally designed systems where an interactive framework aids in the design process. The project used parametric design methods to generate housing types based on multiple criteria of site constraints, typological features and pragmatic housing functions and details.

At the end of my thesis project, I submitted a paper summarizing my work to ACADIA, the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture. It was accepted for presentation at the 2012 conference in San Francisco and subsequently published in the conferences annual book.

West Haymarket RedevelopmentStudio Project Spring 2011 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Holden Rasmussen, Craig Weflen and Corey Hess

This was a team project for the hypothetical development or redevelopment of a mile-by-mile sector of Lincoln, Nebraska. Project team members focused on a significantly blighted area located directly northwest of Lincolns downtown, bordering the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Due to the complex assemblage of road and natural features, including protected wetlands, parks and lakes, flood mitigation, flood plains and high water tables, the buildable site area was made of a sequence of smaller areas. The resulting urban design solution deployed two separate system types: a scripted branching structure of the neighborhood roads and a warped grid system to allow the irregular area of blight to link into the existing grid system. These strategies, coupled with the projects urban context, lent themselves to the development of several types of mixed-use facilities, raising density in areas adjacent to downtown and campus, and then stepping down to single-family dwellings in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Grasshopper HouseStudio Project Spring 2011 INDEPENDENT PROJECT

This project is an example of the possibilities computation brings to the field of architecture. The Grasshopper House explores the power of parametrics and generative algorithms through using existing software tools: Rhino 4.0 NURBS modeling for Windows; Grasshopper, generative modeling for Rhino; and Galapagos, a generative algorithm plug-in for Grasshopper.

At the projects core is a computationally driven bubble diagram that uses an adjacency matrix and Galapagos generative algorithm to create unique floor-plan layouts each time the script runs. Onto this basic plan, the roof, circulation, interior and exterior framing, walls, windows and doors are all parametrically added. A series of user-driven controls are then used to fine tune each set of elements. The end result is a series of completely unique homes developed with the same program and criteria. They were rendered as a series of homes under construction.

Evolutionary Principles applied to Problem Solving There is nothing particularly new about Evolutionary Solvers or Genetic Algorithms. The first references to this field of computation stem from the early 60's when Lawrence J. Fogel published the landmark paper "On the Organization of Intellect" which sparked the first endeavours into evolutionary computing. The early 70's witnessed further forays with seminal work produced by -among others- Ingo Rechenberg and John Henry Holland. Evolutionary Computation didn't gain popularity beyond the programmer world until Richard Dawkins' book "The Blind Watchmaker" in 1986, which came with a small program that generated a seemingly endless stream of body-plans called "Bio-morphs" based on human selection. Since the 80's the advent of the personal computer has made it possible for individuals without government funding to apply evolutionary principles to personal projects and they have since made it into the common parlance.

The term "Evolutionary Computing" may very well be widely known at this point in time, but they are still very much a programmers tool. 'By programmers for programmers' if you will. The applications out there that apply evolutionary logic are either aimed at solving specific problems, or they are generic libraries that allow other programmers to piggyback along. It is my hope that Galapagos will provide a generic platform for the application of Evolutionary Algorithms to be used on a wide variety of problems by non-programmers.

Ice GardenMIN|DAY Spring 2010 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Jeff Day, E.B. Min and Jeff Davis

Commissioned by the Omaha World Herald, Omahas daily newspaper, the Ice Garden is a design proposal for a temporary public space made from ice located on Gene Leahy Mall in downtown Omaha. The series of two open courtyards and eight closed domes are conceived as social gathering spaces and the site for a pop-up restaurant featuring winter foods prepared by local chefs and served outdoors. The project combines the tradition of ice harvesting with contemporary digital fabrication techniques.

Salina Art CenterFACT Spring-Fall 2011 IN COLLABORATION WITH: FACT Team Spring 2011, Holden Rasmussen, Fact Team Fall 2011

The redevelopment and renovation of the Salina Art Center is an ongoing collaboration with FACT (Fabrication and Construction Team) and Min|Day Architects. FACT is a design lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and an adjunct practice of Min | Day. FACT engages design-intensive projects with creative, non-profit clients in collaborations spanning design and construction.During the spring and summer of 2011, the FACT team developed a master plan to renovate the Salina Art Center and participated in the schematic design phase for the bench wall, pentables and cabinet wall. The following semester started with work on the initial design development phases and progressed through to the initial construction and installation.Specific contributions to the project included documentation of initial conditions; precise drawings; development of a master plan for the main art build-ing; schematic design of interior elements; bench wall; cabinet wall; front desk; and basic design development of pentables, including a computational script used to derive the final design.

Antelope Valley Mixed-Use BuildingStudio Project Spring 2009 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Justin Brouillette and Darin Russell

This group project called for the design of a mixed-use residential building and day-care facility hypothetically located in a newly rezoned area of downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. The hypothetical building shows a stark contrast between each programmatical use because the buildings form physically separates the residential tower from the day care. While the tower reflects a modern image of steel and glass, the day care integrates organic materials like wood and reflects the landscape in two ways: by its integration into the landscape and by pulling the terrain onto the roof of the building This creates a ground-level exit from both the first and second floors and a sense of playfulness not found in the residential section.

Camp CornhuskerStudio Project Spring 2009 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Justin Brouillette and Darin Russell

Camp Cornhusker, a Boy Scout camp in southeast Nebraska, was the site for a projected design that converges landscape and architecture. Although a part of a larger group project, the building shown was largely an independent effort a Game and Parks Office for research and Boy Scout education. It was positioned on the site near a run of trees along a small creek, hidden within the folds of the landscape to minimize the visual pollution of its natural and relatively clean surroundings. The design features an undulating roof that reflects the rolling hills of the area. The topography was manipulated to create an outdoor amphitheater and to allow vehicular access, while masking the road. The project also features an eidetic image that is an abstract interpretation of the landscape. The final building models show the Game and Parks Office buildings integration into the landscape.

Haymarket HotelStudio Project Fall 2009 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Megan Hammond

The studio project brief was developed to mirror a local firms commission for the design of a hotel in the Haymarket District of Lincoln, Nebraska. The hotel was being built as a part of a larger urban plan that includes a sports arena and art museum extension. Developed as a group, the final design solution was a 150-room hotel that used varying layers of exposure, balconies and a pedestrian bridge to let patrons experience the city.The structural system of the hotel cantilevers a third of the distance of the base, emphasized by the ascending spiral the room layout makes on the upper floors. It starts off by mimicking the material and scale of the surrounding buildings, and then ascending to fulfill the programmatically required space, ending with a prominent building feature that uses structure to express the buildings formal qualities and structural feats. The buildings materials also help to tie into the predominantly brick historic Haymarket District by using a ruddy brown panelized metal on the base of the building, which extends into the precast concrete tower to create unity.

Skin and Bones SPACE[D] FRAMEDigital Fabrication Project Spring 2011 IN COLLABORATION WITH: Erik Leahy

Space[D] Frame was a project developed by integrating digital design and manufacturing techniques with rapid prototyping to produce a double-curved surface. The project utilizes the integration of two distinct digital fabrication techniques, sectioning and folding, one for the production of structure and the other for its cladding.

A sectioning technique defines the structural grid lines, or ribs, and then extrapolates to define a truss system. An integrated series of joints and members through which the system could be hand-assembled and the integrated cladding further enhances this grid. With the cladding, by changing the inherent memory of a material, in this case by folding, the project was able to take a flat surface to define a three-dimensional condition and hold its shape. The cladding enhances the undulations of the surface by exploring the variability of a single-folded system parametrically applied to a double-curved surface.

Fish Hatchery MuseumStudio Project Fall 2007 INDEPENDENT PROJECT

The site for this museum originally was a fish hatchery, but was repurposed for use as a state park. The goal was to design a building to house artifacts and act as a visitors center for Schramm Park. A simple fishing knot inspired the design. The form binds together a horizontal line with the looping knot, creating three levels on the interior to fulfill various programming functions. The museums design creates scenic views along the main axis of the park. Maintaining the connection to the sites past, the building overhangs an old pond formerly used to raise fish
