What can a tectonically driven project accomplish? Does it provide experiential difference across multiple programs? Cap and Tray[ed] is a formally driven project that is situated in transitions.
In order to achieve this goal, indexing became a way to design. Then as a for-mal move, the various peices of indexed design is connected together through lofting to create dynamically interchang-ing spaces. This is found according to program, light, views, and atospheric conditions.
The result is a sectional set of buildings which house living quaters, communal spaces, spa, and other activities in a way that incorporate the daily functions of the spa; from the daily visitors, the week-end visitors, and the facility members.

The spatial indexing of what it means to be cap and tray. From indexing, how do moments from each part start to speak to one another? What are the best qualities that hu-man inhabitation according to its position within the project?
Located at Willow Metropark, this peninsula extends outward into Kent Lake. In order to determine the exact lo-cation of the site, the experiential and situational conditions are indexed and exaggerated to accept the program of the intended type of spa.
DESIGNER/ Nathan AndersonADVISOR/ McClain ClutterPURPOSE/ Arch 521LOCATION/ Ann Arbor, MIDATE/ 09.2010 - 12.2010
Today, the so called mega churches that inhabit the United States act as a big business. Members are looked at money and an investment. Much like the big box businesses, they spawn in strategic communities, gathered from indepen-dant companies that use GIS software.
In this project, the intentional misuse of GIS software spawns both site and issues that pertain to spatial conditions within the megachurch.
Within the extents of Detroit lays a mas-sive urban sprawl, which is surrounded by ex-urban self suffiecient nodes of shopping and development. What would happen if a megachurch acted like the anchor department store in a mall and left the rest to adapt to the surrounding context throughout time?

Intentionally misusing GIS software as both a set of layered information doubled as diagram, the original orange and grey represent growing and declining populations, the 3D red generated parcels which were changing at a high pace, all along a ten diameter diameter from any highway in the ex urban Detroit.
This information is compared to the projected developments (top) and the currently developed land (top right) along the road system (right bottom), gas stations/shop-ping areas (bottom), creating a typology to current churches.

Paralleling this set of information with the generalized business nature of malls, I decided to place a new mega church in a high-rate growing community with the infra-structure in place to feed off of high traffic. This was Canton, MI with nearby Ikea.

In order to create a spiritual effect as a justaposition against the mall concept, light is corrdinated with different types of concrete, which create differing atmo-spgeres within the project. This way, the blending of church and mall are utilized so that either program could inhabit the spaces as the context calls for it over time, giving the building great flexibility.
Shown above are spatial light renderings of how light penetrates the solid in accor-dance to the interior-designed court-yards. Using light as both a wayfinding device and store signifier, the flexibility lends itseld to most programs.
DESIGNER/ Nathan Anderson + Josh HendershotADVISOR/ Doug KelbaughPURPOSE/ Arch 672LOCATION/ Ann Arbor, MIDATE/ 09.2011 - 12.2011
Increasingly today, more people are working where they dwell. Designed as a comprehensive housing studio, this project acts to ease Ann Arbors demand for downtown housing, with an eye towards what the newer trend of residential living brings to a project.
Situated right off of Main Street (Ann Arbors historic restaurant district), The Points [A2] blends retail, housing, and working as lifestyle synergy. Living ontop of the citys biggest destination brings housing and retail to a better balance and more space for start-up companies to reside within.
Designing structure to house various apartment units/live-work units became the bones, while sytems technologies and tectonics play supporting roles.

Located along a proposed greenway, The Points [A2] becomes a key node to the success of the project (left). Located within each tower, various units are arranged so that the balconies shift, allowing for facade variation and the further design of the louver systems (right).

How can architecture be defined as a threshold, both physical and mental? From the bowels of a cruise ship, one may try to define what the intermedi-ates are between one destination and another.
In this project, the ideas of intermediacy and disorientation are the subjects through which architecture tries to de-fine. As an occupant inhabits the cruise ship, they become displaced between point a and point b, but offers a sense of placeness by providing a multitude of amenities of entertainment. This ultimately dissolves the threshold.
In an effort to bring back the threshold, this port terminal can provide a series of spaces that promote a placelessness, which clearly separates ship and city. A

From a given image of static, there is a threshold of density of black and white pix-els. Imagining the threshold as a 3D field, I pulled three layers from the image, split them in quarters, then reassembled them in a light box which allows the user to focus on unique areas within the threshold.

Much like the Yokohama Terminal, the project presents itself as a con-tinuous space, yet in this project, the space is determined by both program and the experience achieved between programs as threshold. The gesture to have the ship dock within the fabric of the city presents a duality of integration, as the height of the ship starts to blend into the cityscape yet is a completely foriegn object which is removable.
This project is best represented by a series of vignettes, which start to explain the programmatic and spatial process from dock to city. Slippages of arrival and departure spawn a curiosity and possible disorientation through two linear paths.
DESIGNER/ Nathan Anderson + Heidi Swift ADVISOR/ Douglas KelbaughPURPOSE/ Hines CompetitionLOCATION/ Ann Arbor, MIDATE/ 01.2012
The Urban Land Institute/Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competi-tion is a nationwide interdisciplinary graduate competition engaging in a chal-lenging two week excercise in respon-sible land use.
The location chosen is a blighted corner just inside downtown Houston, Texas. After deliberations, our team decided to redevelop the program to be a market district, creating place by integrating the existing bayou park with housing and rerouted trafice/pedestrian routes.
My responsibilities included conpet sketching, traffic analysis, phasing with our financials team member, and producing three perpestives for visual interpretation.

SITE PLAN
The Market District is a LEED Gold neighborhood leading downtown Houston into an urban renais-sance. The development will provide a fresh take on food, comfort, entertainment, and urban living, become an oasis in the city. The marketplace, national grocer, and community gatdening programs will squash the food desert stretching north from downtown Houston; the expanded Sabine-Bagby Promenade will revitalize Buffalo Bayou; and new transit-based and pedestrian connections will allow a seamless integration with the greater Houston area and all of Downtowns amenities.

As a designer, I feel it is necessary to involve myself with the tactile knowledge of building. At a small scale, understand-ing material qualities and connections between elements of design are integral to an overall understanding of architec-ture as a discipline. In my generation, and increasingly in academia today, not enough physical manifestations of ideas proliferate out of the drawings and into our hands. Throughout my final year in my graduate studies, I hope to build objects that harness my knowledge of the physical and digital together.
