LABash Design-Build Principles

9/20/2013

3 Comments

 
The University of Georgia hosted the annual LABash conference during Spring, 2013. At this event, a design competition was held that featured the installation of an interlocking concrete pavement. The pdf below depicts a below-surface “design” element (5 layers) that is an important general principle to be considered during initial conceptual design phases.

This project represents part two of the Implementation Studio Section.  The student will achieve the following goals and objectives:
• Develop and refine your ability to conceptualize, graphically construct, and properly coordinate construction documents that clearly communicate the desired three-dimensional look, feel, and function of your final design.
• Achieve technical accuracy and the desired aesthetic outcome(s) of each detail condition.
To these ends, the study of one (1) custom interlocking concrete paving detail will be developed through an in-depth material and constructability analysis conducted via a 1-to-1 mock-up assembly vignette as outlined in the implementation sequence’s last studio project.

The goals of this exercise are to investigate, design and fabricate an interlocking concrete pavement module to assist in understanding structural and aesthetic considerations of connections (edge and unit-to-unit condi- tions) and/or innovative environmental function(s). The exercise’s learning objectives include the following:

After completing the final project with the Design Abstraction Sequence, you are ready to begin a series of studies that will translate your Systems Abstraction Design Proposal from schematic rendering into buildable elements. This process is known as Design Development, the products are known as Construction Documents.

Mondrian Studio Project

1/9/2012

1 Comment

 
Picture
In design, techniques of reduction such as abstraction often use a visual language of form, line and color to distill complex ideas and data into focused, symbolic design concepts.  The goal of this exercise is to encourage innovative design informed and inspired by available, reusable, scalable and familiar constraints.

Abstraction - Site

1/9/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
The goal of this project is to explore the inherent geometric and pattern potentials in segmental pavers through the use of abstraction.  Building on the objectives of ‘Abstraction-Forms,’ the objective of this project is to develop a pattern that abstracts and expresses site ‘readings’ related to the built environment such as ‘space,’ ‘path,’ ‘foci,’ and ‘threshold.’

Abstraction - Form

Picture
The goal of this project is to explore the inherent geometric and pattern potentials in segmental pavers through the use of abstraction.  The objective is to develop a pattern that abstracts a work of art, a place, or other source of inspiration using as ‘building blocks’ the dimensions, colors, and finishes commonly found in segmental pavers.

Case Study – Success

Picture
The goal of this project is to better understand creative and thoughtful design approaches toward hardscapes through analyzing successful design projects that use segmental pavers.  The objective is to carefully observe and document a built design case study that is award-winning, successful, or otherwise highly regarded that uses segmental pavers as a key ingredient or focus in the design, and to then reflect on how pavers were applied in the design.

Environmental Assessment

Picture
The goals of this exercise are to conduct an environmental and functional assessment of monolithic paving areas (i.e., concrete, asphalt, or similar) through the following lenses:
• The environmental impacts caused by these systems, and
• The environmental or functional causes of structural weakness, decline and/or failure of the system.

A Guide for Design Integration of Concrete Pavers

1/9/2012

3 Comments

 
Picture
It is the goal of this guide to improve the design of the paved plane of the built environment by expanding the level of knowledge about concrete pavers. This will be accomplished through the organizing of information and support material for both the instructor and the students.
