courthouse theatrics[ WI 09 ]
i The new courthouse in Columbus, Ohio would include typical com-ponents, such as courtroom, prisoner cells, judges’ offices, magistrate courts, special preceedings courts, a library, and press room, as well as a media center and 2000 square feet of retail space. The pro-posed building included towers of program connected by circula-tion and an exterior skin. The space inside the towers other than the courtrooms is broken into three parts for each of the parties involved. Each space is clearly separated and provides circulation vertically through the towers with a common lobby level that allows move-ment between towers. The prisoner drop off is located on the west side of the site and moves prisoners on an underground level to the appropriate tower to circulation upwards.
i The existing law buildings on the south side of the site are predicted to link to the proposed courthouse. They are currently in a tower orga-nization bound together by the perimeters of the site. The proposed courthouse will also be organized as a series of towers which will be held together by a wrapper located on the south side of the site. Each tower holds a different type of program and vary according to amount. The central tower acts as the organizer and serves as the main entrance and public circulation tower. Each program tower has a lobby for the public and private circulation. The skin of the tow-ers becomes structural and acts as a wrapper to separate public and private spaces. There are breaks in the curtain to provide entry to the courtrooms for public and private interaction, but the necessary separation between the two parts remains maintained.

PUBLIC FORUMS SCATTERED THROUGH COURTHOUSE
i Modern theater has lost the clear public private relation of the traditional precenium theater organization, so the modern courthouse plans to do the same. The towers of program are scattered over the site with circulation space between for public and private areas to in-teract. Public gathering spaces are scattered throughout the building to provide for public envolement with the law system. They are lo-cated outside the building on the site as well as on internal amphhitheaters and tower tops. The entire ground floor is used as commercial gath-ering space with smaller fora inside.
paper study[ AU 06 ]
i The structural properties of paper were ex-plored and used to create a structure that could exhibit shelter and spatial experienc-es. Techniques such as bending, folding and layering were discovered and executed in a single surface formed by tetrahedrons which bend to create floors, ceilings, and walls.
i A space was created using only a 18” by 26” piece of paper and minimal amounts of glue. The paper was cut then folded to create three dimensional shapes which had structural prop-erties. Every piece of the paper was used to make the structure as strong as possible. The flexible arrangement of triangular structures created a versatile form, which was deter-mined by the required amount of material to be used.
frit dots[ WI 08 ]
i The proposal was to create a new curtain wall on the south courtyard of the Knowlton School of Architecture using smart glass frit dots, which would provide privacy as well as protection from the sun. Smart glass is a tech-nology which allows the user to automatically “frost” the glass of the curtain wall for shade or for privacy. A layer of frit dots would be com-bined with a smart glass curtain wall to create a graphic effect.

i The result of the frit dots would shade the in-terior space based on the amount of sunlight absorbed through different locations on the south facing glass curtain wall. The design would compliment the existing pattern cre-ated by the marble shingles in addition to providing a functional solution to the existing problems of the glass wall.
thank you .
Interior architecture is of special interest to me, and my studies in the specifics of this field build on the broader conceptual breadth of production empha-sized in my undergraduate studies. My graduate work is preparing me for the demands specific to interior work by giving me skills in both interior construction details and assembly as well as smaller spatial relationships and organization.
