Passive Solar Heating/Cooling

A great course that use a past studio project to calculate passive heating and cooling requirements and alter aspects of the design accordingly. Our second phase was looking at the band of sun, so available direct gain into the space. I placed my Mexican Center for the Arts in downtown Grand Junction, CO, and am calculating the loads for just the top floor.

Agriculture as Urban Fabric

My studio project this term is to look at agriculture as a fabric within an urban context (Portland, OR in this case) We are looking at the influencing factors to a site, and trying to pull out the aspects that we each want to focus on. I have tried to understand many of the forces working on a city and how they weave together. How can our linear path of consumption be altered to allow for diversity and cycles to reveal themselves as we are all connected through this intricate web.
