entomology research centerTerelj National Park | Mongolia

Increasing economic development and population in Mongolia are stressing the aquatic

biological communities through mining, untreated wastes, agriculture, over-grazing, and fires,

in addition to the effects from worldwide climate change. The Mongolian Aquatic Insect

Survey creates an inventory of the freshwater insects in Mongolia which not only generates

a basic scientific knowledge of the biological diversity of the region, but also provides the

Mongolian government with a way to monitor water quality which can guide them in attempts

to protect the environment and eco-tourism. The Entomology Research Center in Terelj

National Park contains laboratories and an educational center while providing residences for

long and short-term researchers.

arch 351 studio clemson | fall 2012

The population of Mongolia is still largely nomadic. The form of the building was inspired by the shape of the traditional Ger – a portable home

constructed of lattice framing with felt and white cotton walls. Gers are erected in a line so that the door always faces

south.

site planThe entomology research center is located in Terelj National Park, adjacent to the Tuul River. To make

minimal environmental alterations, the building is configured along a single topographic level.

Circulation throughout the building occurs linearly as space progresses from public to private.

Spaces are arranged structurally along a 4’ grid, though many spaces have the ability to serve multiple purposes.

The vertical height of the space is determined programmatically, and the arch is created in relation to the square footage and program of each space.

Fountain Inn | South Carolina

Fountain Inn is a small town in upstate South Carolina whose residents had

abandoned its downtown storefronts for large shopping malls in nearby

Greenville, South Carolina. New development is necessary to revitalize the

area. The boutique grocery store located in downtown Fountain Inn provides

a connection between the historic Main Street and the new and flourishing

Farmer’s Market. The traditional storefront preserves the character of historic

Main Street while the rear entrance addresses the city’s new developments,

creating a transition between old and new. The store space adjacent to

Main Street houses a bakery with outdoor seating so that the sweet smell

will draw customers in. Fresh produce is located near the rear entrance

which opens to the Farmer’s Market, symbolizing the connection between

the boutique grocery store and local suppliers.

The rear façade opens towards the Farmer’s Market, encouraging collaboration between the boutique grocery store and local vendors

while engaging the community.

@infinity - kids in architecture

The exhibit created to teach architectural concepts at the children’s museum in Hilton Head,

SC was inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. The design

was influenced by the concept of the Mobius strip, as well as the cyclical process of learning

practiced within Reggio Emilia. @infinity creates a structure to which there is no beginning

or end. The form of the exhibit is that of a double Mobius strip, creating walls which users

can walk through, as well as spaces which can only be accessed by bending down to a child’s

height. The numbered paneling system which forms the walls was digitally fabricated using an

electronic cutting machine. “Take-aways” are a hands-on approach to the concept of infinity

which teach the process of constructing the Mobius strip. The take-aways were presented to

Italian children at a Kids in Architecture workshop at the children’s library in Genoa, Italy.

correspondence with the plan. The structure is symmetrical, so

the same panels are cut twice to create the structure.

fl oor plan

The base is formed to create a trough so that weights may be

inserted within the walls to help stabilize the structure. Double

walls are then constructed around the base, hiding the

weights within. The walls can then support the weight of the

panels arching overhead.

photography co-working community

New York City’s High Line is an elevated rail line which after decades of being out of use was preserved and

converted into a unique urban trail in the Chelsea district. Since the mid-1990s, West Chelsea has become

the center of the New York art culture. The photography co-working building cantilevers over the High Line

at the corner of 29th Street and Tenth Avenue, providing photographers with residential, office, and gallery

space. While working within strict building codes, the design breaks the typical boundaries of a typical office

space by inviting the community to become part of the creative process. Open studios with multiple artists

working within encourage collaboration and creativity. Gallery guests can enter the photographers’ workshops

and experience the creative process firsthand. The resident artists have convenient access to their studio from

their apartment. Various transparencies, rather than closed doors and walls, define the differing programs and

distinguish between public and private throughout the building.

Program was critical to the massing of the building. Guests

transcend through a vertical gallery. Community co-working space

extends horizontally over the High Line, while personal workshops are

located above the vertical gallery, providing a transition between public and private space while

allowing the residents direct access to their studio.
