The intention of the Safety Rest Area program was to serve as a stand-in for the regional context drivers would otherwise miss as they bypass cities and towns. The analysis of this typology in Washington State shows that many of the buildings lack distinctive local identity and responsiveness to the site.
This thesis seeks to recover the role of the Safety Rest Area as shelter and icon. The site, located on State Route 20 in the North Cascades National Park, provides a safe place of rest for drivers as well as a marker in the landscape designating the place of winter closure of the road. The design expands the users ability to explore place with three interventions: the Entrance, the Clearing, and the View. Seasonal changes allow for diversity in the experience of the site.

When the gate comes down for the winter, the site is entirely changed. Visitors gain an alternate experience that is designed to show the variable conditions of this place. The entrance offers a winter park for play, the buildings in the clearing are now at the ground plane, and the tower is only able to be found via the markers sticking above the snow.
Rest Area Study
As part of my thesis prep work, I decided to photograph the Rest Areas of Washington State. The construction and form of each building are similar with large low-pitched roofs and concrete block or brick cladding, each building is seemingly interchangeable. This research led to the exploration of how we could work to define and enhance Rest Areas with a sense of place.

Chair #2849
The studio required each student to design, develop and produce a full-scale piece of furniture.
The wood frame of the chair is designed as one continuous piece suspended within the legs. The leather was cut into strips and stretched over two inner frames, then inserted into the outer frame. The leather pieces can be changed out as needed.
Materials: cherry, oil-tanned leather

The focus of this studio was to investigate the integration and coordination of building systems, and the flexibility to respond to market needs/future programs.
The project separates the site into three smaller buildings with a courtyard in the center. All three buildings are enclosed by the metal facade system, which acts as a shading and privacy device that is user operated. The buildings terrace down to allow for daylight to penetrate into the courtyard.

Visibility
A large portion of the studio was devoted to development of the screening system for the building. The screen provides flexibility by allowing individuals to dictate the openness of their space. It also serves to block light and allow for privacy where appropriate. The building is constantly changing as people come and go.

Instruction
The class teaches the foundation of architectural photography using black & white film cameras. There are multiple advantages of learning traditional film photography in the digital era, including learning to see in black & white as means of understanding light and tone.
The photos taken are of various architectural structures around Washington. We submitted weekly photos of our choice, as well as documentation of a specific building at multiple scales.

Lene Tranberg, of Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, came to UW for two ten-day stays during the quarter as a guest instructor. As her students we tried to develop our projects using her methods of design.
The program chosen for the site is a childcare center, which will support a desired influx of young families into the Pioneer Square neighborhood. The childcare center fronts the alley with its main entrance and play area opening up to it. The pedestrian nature of the alley provides an added layer of security for drop-off/pick-up and other childcare activities. The original appearance of the building remains intact by leaving all existing walls as they are, but the new program is inserted independently, giving the building new life.

ARCH 501 Tectonic Studio
The building’s geometry is established by the angle at which buses pull into the building. The building is then divided into a series of pavilions to create smaller pockets of space for waiting travelers.
The roof planes are supported by a series of canted steel columns. The steel structure allows for transparency and light at the pedestrian level, while the roof creates shelter overhead.

Study abroad travel included a three month tour of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. One month of the trip was dedicated to living in the city of Stockholm. Much of the time was spent sketching and documenting various aspects of the architecture and the cities we visited.
