NEOPRENE STUDY

By studying the permiability of neoprene and understanding its behavioral qualities, the idea of a space that breathes is able to be diferred as a design element.

This experiment heated a body to a consistent temperature and humidity level, and then tested different conditions of neoprene insulations. The result was a kit of parts of proximity, humidity and

temperature that will produces a range of atmospheric experience within the space.

TEMP: 82 DEGREES FARENHEIT

BASE STATE: TEMPERATUREWhen the light is on, the enclosure

absorbs the heat and realeases it at a realitively even rate due to the

poor insulation of acyrlic.

HUMIDITY: 58%

BASE STATE: HUMIDItYAt the resting state, the humidity is statisically the same on the inside

and outside of the space.

TEMP: 73 DEGREES FARENHEITNEOPRENE INSULATION:

WET and ATTACHEDWhen the neoprene isulation is applied, the neoprene intially supplies protection from the cold; however, if there is not a continuous source of heat, the space soon loses heat, and becomes cool.

HUMIDITY: 66%NEOPRENE INSULATION:

WET AND ATTACHEDbecause of the dramatic increase of

moisture in the enclosures immediate surroundings, the

humidity within the space increases greatly.

TEMP: 74 DEGREES FARENHEITNEOPRENE INSULATION:

WET AND DETACHEDThe conditioned space has a

similar loss in heat as the attached study, but their was no initial insulation, ie, the heat loss

was faster than when the neoprene was tight.


WET and DETACHEDThe distance between the

conditioned space and the wet neoprene increased the humidity level, but not as greatly as when

the skin was attached to the body.

TEMPE: 79 DEGREES FARENHEITNEOPRENE INSULATION:

DRY AND ATTACHEDVery little heat was lost with

the dry neoprene as an insulator.


DRY AND ATTACHEDWith the dry neoprene, very little change was

observed in the humidity level.

DRYWhen neoprene is dry, the pores are open,

allowing air and heat to pass through about as

readily as any other article of clothing.

EMERGEDThe moment that the

neoprene suit enter the water, a small amount of water leaks into the space between the

body and the neoprene. This is the

water that will get heated by the body and maintain heat

while it is emerged in water.

WETSoon after it is emerged in water, the neoprene

swells and the pores are closed, keeping the

thin water barrier locked in.

By studying the process of passive desalination, a system is proposed that pumps and sprays the salt ocean water onto a surface that filters the salt out of the water, and then that water is recollected,

now salt free and ready for human consumption. The process of desalination requires the water particles to experience a range of states: pool of salt water, mist, drip and then to a pool of

desalinated water. These states of water can be felt on a sensual level throughout the building, in a range of spa-like facilities, both private and public.

Ornamentation

By looking towards the tradition of architectural representation of plants within architecture, the vegetables of this extreme urban farm are treated as living versions of this representation, and create

a system that allows the plants to grow and extend over the structure itself.

Two units from the same geometric family are assigned a different programmatic function, one the urban farm and one that is for the inhabited hotel space. This strategy allows for multiple scales to occupy the same spaces. The top component serves as a bladder for the hydorponic system, feeding water to the sides and bottom of the unit. The bottom unit will serve as a hydroponic garden that is place for meeting as well as growing larger plants that require a more horizontal surface. The sides of the unit, which will occupy each hotel room, grow a range of smaller plants, such as mushrooms, tomatos, and spinach. This system is connected to a series of planters that feed water in and out of the plant on

an individual basis.

Custom for Comfort

There are three key areas of discomfort that are common in mass-produced shoes: narrowness, appropriate size, and support. All of these are a result of the one size fits all approach to clothing

design, in which a user must find a size that fits best, but often not well enough.Todays 3D printing technology offers a potential bridge for the dichotomy of comfort versus style and

form versus function.


Generative Craft: Data-driven DIY Shoes

By utilizing foot analysis software, photogrammetric deformation and strain analysis, 3D modeling tools, generative programming language, a 3D printer and human creativity, a system is created that produces customized shoes and addresses these three key points of comfort. By scanning the foot with an iPad app, a significant amount of data is accumulated, such as exact size in length and width as well as the most pressurized points that on that users foot. That information is then outputted to an algorithm that analyzes and generates a set of structure that would accommodate that users foot perfectly in

regards to size and support, and at the same time use the least amount of material possible.

Water Bustle

Similar to how metals and stones represent a level of status, water will be used in fashion to project an individuals class. The water bustle is an armature that allows the wearer to display their ample supply of water, projecting their superior hydration as a fashion accessory. Although this piece is predominately a status indicator and supercial, this bustle holds one day of water in individual modules of 3 oz each, allowing the user to ll it with as much water that is available to them

or a level that is comfortable to carry.

Parametric Rocker Pattern of Pain Panel

Comfort through Movement

This project looks to generate a more wholistic rocking chair that could passively rock the seated person into an erganomic position. Fabricated out of plywood with a CNC router.


Pattern of Pain Panel

Thermal imaging is an ideal tool for the evaluation and identication of unresolved pain problems. One of the only non-invasive means of observing the body's autonomic regulatory mechanisms, Infrared imaging (IR) aids in assigning the point of origin for many pain problems. Additionally, thermal imaging is an ideal way to monitor the ecacy of most therapies, ensuring that costly and unnecessary procedures are reduced and eective treatment delivers improved

autonomic function.This project aims to utilize thermal imaging data generated from imaging a back, to create a one-of-a-kind architectural

panel that can be used to rub ones back on, relieving pain due to inammation.

Student Work: Paper Chair Project

Each design had to be self explanitory, conveying the dimensions and construction methodology through the drawings set. Once completed, the students then had to trade drawings with another

classmate and construct the design by using the drawings as a building guide. The 4-week exercise forces the students to critcally convey and interpet a set of drawings.

FASH345: COMPUTERS IN FASHION

This 5 week project introduced Sophmore fashion students to the potential of additive manufacuturing in fashion. The students were tasked to explore a pattern while exercising their newly gained modeling

vocabulary, generating a variety of designs from a single set of lines.


Student Work: Digital Fashion

The project also explores representation methodologies of digital design; designs that can become consumables but are still currently in digital form. Each student developed a series of renderings that

conveyed the documented design process as well as the final piece.
