gncharettes - advanced lighting designTo apply knowledge of both graphic, and lighting design priniciples, every Friday we would conduct a charette. Charettes always consisted of a design challenge, a client, and floor plans for the space. The time of completion for each Charette was between one and a half to two and a half hours. After completion, the class would discuss and give feedback.

ALPINE VISITORS CENTER AND TRAIL RIDGE STORE

INVITING ATMOSPHEREMost native to Colorado are familiar with the fact that the word alpine refers to the highest portion of a mountain, where no trees can grow. To provide an inviting place to visit in the harsh rocky landscape, the Alpine Center shall mimic the “Warm Cabin” feel at night. By placing warm light that grazes up, it will appear as though the glass entrance itself is a fireplace, ablaze on a cold night.

DESIGN INTENTAll ambient lighting in functional spaces will be indirect, but with supplemental fixtures to provide visual interest. In areas of education all accent lighting for educational materials will be lit with completely flush recessed fixtures. This will ensure the subject matter is the main point of focus without any direct glare. The book store will be similar in design. All general spaces will be lit indirectly, provided by track heads concealed by the wooden trusses. This will provide ambient lighting while simultaneously drawing interest to the natural local building materials. In all viewing areas, there will be absolute minimum light, for guidance only. This will ensure minimum glare, while making either the day lit, or starlit view become the main attraction.

HISTORICAL CONTEXTThe Alpine Center is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, specifically in the Holzwarth Historic Ranching district. Based on this knowledge, it is important to create a lighting design that is both functional, and compliments the historical context. As such all supplemental fixtures in functional spaces will be historic looking fixtures to provide visual interest in the space. These may include a wagon wheel chandelier, and rustic lantern wall sconces.

proposed lighting solutionsustainable solution

Madeson Lighting Solutions understands the clients desire to create a sustainable lighting solution. In order to achieve a high level of energy efficiency, all fixtures specified on the project will be LED. In addition, all office and conference room spaces around the perimeter will integrate daylight sensors. This will help to both reduce energy consumption throughout the day, and increase the usable life of each fixture. In order to achieve an energy efficient solution at all times, occupancy sensors will be used in evry space. This will ensure that light is not wasted after all occupants have left. The image below shows the projected usable daylight zone.

ambient solution

In order to achieve a workplace that is youthful, sophisticated, and forward thinking, Madeson Lighting Solutions proposes a recessed, direct linear LED system. Using cool white light, and slim recessed fixtures will promote a productive, clean organized, work environment for employees and clients alike. By using recessed fixtures, it will create a solution that is both minimal, and carefully integrated into the space.

creative solution

To bring both visual interest and a creative element to the design, Madeson Lighting Solutions will specify a fixture that is as unique as Cassidy Turley itself. Integrating Cassidy Turley green into a suspended linear pendant, will create visual pop. The use of color, in additon to being a suspended element in a sea of recessed fixtures will grab the viewers eye.

view solution

It is critical that in both conference rooms and office space, only direct lighting is used in order to maintain views of the Boston Harbor. By using only direct light, and not emphasizing the vertical surfaces, it minimizes the glare on the window at night. Below is a concept image that displays the effect the direct light has, and the intended lighting solution. Notice how views to the city are ample, and you do not see the walls of the space reflected in the window.

The design intent for the cultural center is to highlight the main attractions in Chicago. Instead of creating a center that focused on one or several cultures, we wished to unite all cultures in an area that would seem familiar to them. From the second you step o� a plane at O’Hare, to your train ride in on the L, a trip to The Bean, or a drive along Lake Shore Drive, the attractions highlighted are recognizeable. Whether you were born and raised here, or are just passing through you will know these attractions, as they are uniquely Chicago.

gngrahic design principles - sr. designLibrary precedent analysis research (our first assignment for architectural senior design class) had dual purpose. Simultaneously we gained an in depth knowledge of a library assigned to us, and graphic design principles to present what we learned to a panel of critics. Research gathered on this library is also used later in the same class to design our own library in the heart of the University of Colorado Boulder.

JAMES B. HUNT JR. LIBRARY BACKGROUNDLocation: Raleigh, North CarolinaClient: North Carolina State UniversityEstablished: January 2, 2013Architect: SnohettaCivil Engineer: Cole Jenest StoneStructural Engineer: Stewart Inc.Lighting: PivotalSize: 264,000 square feetCost: $92 million

SITE PLANSThe James B. Hunt Jr. Library resides on the North Carolina State University campus. Due to its proximity to Lake Raleigh, it was deemed important that all views to the lake remain, even during future expansion of the University. It sits atop a gradually sloping hill. The library seeks to act as a new gathering spot for students as well as tying together existing and future infrastructure. It ties together what is known as “The Oval” (an Oval shaped open space between existing classrooms) and the future town center. It is laid out with a polygon shape mimicking a skewed rectangle. The footprint is 82,800 square feet.

BOOKS AND TECHNOLOGYThe future of technology is incorporated with a bookBot, a robotic book delivery system. This system can store up to two million items, and requires 1/9 the space of conventional shelving. The library also has a visualization lab that has black box theatre lighting grids with projectors that cast video onto the walls and adjustable speakers that change the sound shape of the room. It also has a creativity studio that allows students to explore digitally projected environ-ments, as well as theatrical lights and projectors that allow for reconfiguration of the space.

AWARDSAmerican Institute of Architects awarded the Hunt Library a 2014Educational Facility Design Excellence Award for furthering North Carolina State’s mission while demonstrating excellence in architectural design. Hunt library is listed as one of the world’s most spectacular libraries.

LEEDThe Hunt library is LEED certified with a silver rating of 51 points. It has a rain collecting rock garden, a roof terrace, and a white and green roof. LED lighting control systems were implemented to help with energy usage and the building has been oriented with shading devices to minimize solar gains. It uses water reducing fixtures, grey water reuse and native landscaping, along with HE Chilled beams, radiant panel heating and cooling, heat recovery systems, and solar hot water systems. The building uses 50 percent certified wood and 20 percent recycled materials.

the future of technology and collaboration

PROGRAMMING“It seems to be an arc of imagination in a sea of brick.” The library aims to be a lively hub where students can interact with new technology. The final design works with the program because it is versatile and it accommodates different users (both students and the public.) It promotes interaction and collaboration while balancing the need for global connectivity with local focus. It also works within the guidelines for the campus master plan. They wished for the building to be a timeless piece of architecture and a campus centerpiece. The interior is col-or- coded for easy navigation throughout the building.

gnarchitectural design - sr. designThroughout the semester we developed a library to be shared by engineering and business students at the University of Colorado. Through research, site analysis, student surveys, and the creative modeling process we were came to a final design. The following is what was presented to a panel of architectural critics, and the final model our group created.

Overlap is created in section, with the use of roofs and north facing glazing. It simultaneously ties together the building, and creates an

opportunity for daylight where there would otherwise be none.

every time a new orthogonal line is created in the east-west direction, material in elevation changes from glazing to flagstone. using flagstone,

spanish tile roof, and glass allows it to tie in seamlessly with surrounding buildings. Alternating the pattern makes it stand out preserves views.

the shape was created by making different sized blocks. the arrangementcreated a path of circulation. the central portion is more public. quieter spaces are furthest out. areas of moderate noise level separate them.

the form of the building in elevation is derived from the shape of the flatirons. all sections of the building where this occurs are longer, and have slanted roofs along their whole length. rectangular sections with

flat roofs were added in order to create more functional space, but not detract from the shape of the building.

practical design - This fall I was lucky enough to be contracted to do the lighting design for my parent’s home renovation. The kitchen has recessed ambient lighting, and Cubie pendants over the island. All counter space is illuminated with under cabinet lighting. The nooks in the living room have recessed lights to accent artwork on shelves. Both the dining room and main entry have large, sophisticated, eye grabbing pendants. For these I collaborated with a hired interior designer. All lighting systems are LED and on dimmers such that you can entertain in a lively setting, or in a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

reflector design - optical designOptical design was a class that gave us hands on knowledge of how to construct light reflectors, and lenses in order to get a desired distribution. The professor for the class was Mark Jongewaard, who also created the industry standard software “Photopia.” He taught us to use this powerful design tool in an iterative way. The following is our final project for the class, in which we designed a reflector and manufactured it in a 3D printer. In addition we wrote a technical report, and photometrically tested it in the lighting lab.

RT system solver - The technical education of light at the University of Colorado is what sets us above the rest. Our most technically challenging class to date is luminous radiative transfers. Taught by professor Walter Beamer IV, we worked all semester on coding a tool that solves for lighting metrics. Our code takes into account direct light from user assigned illuminances or IES files, ray blocking between surfaces, and uses form factor matrices to account for interreflection. In high accuracy models, it is up to 20% more accurate than other industry standards, due to different assumptions in direct light.
