The purpose of this blog is to inform you and the rest of the world about what I'm doing and thinking about and also to function as an informal portfolio of my work. I'd like to hope that most of these posts relate to the study and theorys of design, but because life isnt all about Architecture, my personal musings will inevitably show up here too.

<span style="text-align: left;">Here is the first incarnation of my fill-er-up and rest station and convenience store. There are two masses that interact with each other by sliding into each other perpendicularly. The reason that one is above the other is to allow for the car traffic to be separated from the pedestrian traffic coming from the park and to allow for a high vantage point for the vehicular traffic that will showcase the park and hopefully help travelers from dallas and houston want to stop at the park and stretch their legs. The convienice store is the lower mass and allows users from the park to access it without interacting with the vehicle traffic. the top mass will not be conditioned while the bottom mass will be. These units could be prefabricated and brought onto the site. They could be lifted into place by crane and set on piers. Then the connections to the road and the trail system could be made. This design is clean and functional and presents an interesting view from the highway with all the ramps and from the park with the piers and boardwalk. All the machinery for the battery swap station is hung from underneath the top mass and is easily accessed for maintenance. The the space below where the top mass rests will be used for battery storage and charging. there will also be a seating area outside along the river.</span></div>

We have in place a system that draws not only foot and bike traffic to the convienice store, but also car traffic along HWY 6 that will access the battery swap station. There is a fundamental difference in the two types of traffic and one main idea I am playing with is that these two types of users will have an experience independent of each other in my design unless they deliberately choose to interact with the other type of traffic. For example, customers that walk in from the trails wont notice the filling station aspect of the complex because of the way elements are placed on the site. Also, those who are looking to just get their battery replaced will not be inclined to go into the store but will be able to do what they came to do and then leave quickly.<br />
<br />
Since the prime ground slopes towards the river and into the 100 year floodplain, a system of raising the building is going to be important to the reality of the whole design. Here are some pictures of things I have been getting inspiration from. <br />

If you told me about an airplane and I had no precedent to go off of, I would call you crazy for trying it. Now we are moving forward at an extremely fast rate and the technology of tomorrow is being tested today. <br />

They are now considered by most people to be indispensable. There is a pushback that is beginning to form againt personal vehicles, but for now, they are here to stay. We want to have the freedom to move about to whatever corner of the city we want without having to walk. Although this may not be the best train of thought, it is one that has and will proliferate through at least the next few decades. If people start to change their attitude about the actual cost of oil, innovative solutions that save money in the short term and the environment in the longterm will pop up, just as they have been over the last few years. The paradigm for my project is the College Station of today with a few major differences. <br />
<br />
<strong>Paradigm for my project:</strong><br />
<br />
1. Oil prices have risen quite a bit at the pump and people are realizing the total cost of oil: The cost of getting off oil is the same or less as staying on it<br />
2. About a quarter of the population is driving one of several versions of a plug-in electric car. (Chevy Volt) (Tesla Roadster)(Nissan Leaf)<br />
or a technology that I will call the HCAR. Electric sales are on the rise.<br />
<br />
3. Electrical distribution is starting to be handled through local nuclear plants cuts down on tranfer losses.<br />
<br />
4. Technology is improving and ranges are expected to improve.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Some of the intersting facets of the project will be:</strong><br />
<br />
Filling Station geared toward travelleres traveling beyond the 1 charge range of their vehicles. (Home charging for all other needs)<br />
<br />
A battery swap system that allows for a 5 minute exchange of an old battery for a fully charged one<br />
<br />
A hydrogen filling station to fill hydrogen tanks on HFC cars<br />
<br />
The buildings ability to change and adapt if it's technology becomes obsolete<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hybridcars.com/files/gas-electric-v6.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Gas and Electric Diagram" border="0" src="http://www.hybridcars.com/files/gas-electric-v6.gif" title="Gas and Electric Diagram" /></a>Mainstream car companies are coming out with plug in electrics and hybrid electrics that get phenominal gas milage or dont use any gas at all. If this pattern continues, electric cars will be equivilent in cost to gasoline cars over the course of their life. As this happens, electric cars will gain a greater share of the market. The time period for the gas station is one that might not be too far off, and therefore it is acceptable to use current techonogies as the reality. This will be a time period of transition: a time where the old system is crumbling and a new one is building itself. It will be a time of oppurtunity.<br />
<br />
In this time, if more people were driving electric plug in vehicles, this station would be a no brainer. It is clear that the short ranges for these vehicles need to be counteracted by the ability to get off the road, quickly change the battery and then get back on the road. In a market where 1/4 of the poplulation drove one of these cars as their primary vehicle, There would be a need for stations like this along major trafficways. <br />
<br />
At the time of its construction, the station would be in high demand and make tons of money, but it is possible that someone could reinvent the battery and the ranges of these vehicles would be much greater than the distances you could cover in a day..... this would make the battery swap obsolite. There would still be hydrogen, but if that technology did not win out as the best new solution, the building would be a filling station that didn't fill anything up. What then? Do we pile it up like all the old cars that people threw away when they got their electrics? NO WAY!<br />

Alternative Energy: Something EVERYONE knows A LITTLE BIT about.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
This inconvenient truth is evident when I speak to most of my friends and to
acquaintances about the alternative energies of the future. The truth is, a lot
of people think of energy in a way that is not holistic or helpful to society. A
lot of people think of it as commodity to be bought and sold on markets where
currency is the method of payment. In a holistic approach, the monetary cost of
energy is considered alongside the environmental and social cost. THERE IS AN
ENVIRONMENTAL COST THAT WE ARE DEFERRING PAYMENT ON! A product that is good for
business today is not necessarily good for the world tomorrow. There will come
a day when the cost of doing business will include the so called invisible cost
that is generated for the future generations. While examples of this
nearsightedness are abundant, I will point out one that particularly troubles
me. Tar Sands or oil sands have known about and documented since we started
drilling for oil only recently has is become "cost effective" to pull
this stuff out of the ground. While it may be fiscally responsible to continue
this practice, it is irresponsible to society as a whole for the sole reason
that producing a barrel of oil from Tar sands produces up to 45% more
greenhouse gasses over a conventional barrel from an oil rig. That cost is the
one that needs to be addressed. I know that the world is dependent on oil at
this very moment, and I know that it is making people money to acquire and sell
it, but if the money that went into R&D on the technologies to extract tar
sands had gone to studying a way to reduce the environmental cost while keeping
profits, think of how far we could be. This is not the fault of the oil
companies.... Maybe there are some huge conspiracies going on, but the real
problem is that people aren't connected to the world they are polluting and don’t
feel a sense of duty to protect it for the next. It is an across the board
syndrome that affects almost everyone and affected myself for most of my life.
A recognition that what we do today does affect tomorrow is the best way to
change this mentality. There is a disconnect between this concept in our daily
lives and on the scale of the world. We know that we have to work hard to
better ourselves and to prepare ourselves for a successful future. We seem to
forget that society as a whole also needs to continually improve itself so that
there can be a better future. The only problem it, the inhabitants of that
future aren't us. We will not live forever, and we truly don’t know when the
human race will end, but it is not a crazy thought to think that there will be
those that come after us and we should be preparing for them just as we prepare
ourselves for our lives. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, back to the topic at hand: alternative energies. Energy is one single
thing that takes on many forms. In each form, energy has the power to do work.
We have the technology to use certain forms well (electricity, heat) and are
working on ways to harness and use others. There is also a distinction between
energy and potential energy. For the concept of vehicles, in my mind, there are
three ways to think of alternative energies. The first is to consider the
combustion engine as the technology of the future. The second is the use of the
electric motor. The third is everything else. Things like steam engines,
flywheels, and other mechanical based systems all fall into this category. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The idea with the combustion engine is that it can be adapted easily with
the current infrastructure to run off of fuels produced in an environmentally
friendly way. The problem in my opinion with these fuels is that they still
pollute at the source of the car at a rate that is similar to gas and diesel.
In this scenario, the vehicles take renewable energy which is good and give
back pollution which is bad. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With an electric motor on the other hand, the vehicles do not pollute. All
the polluting is done at the power plant (which is run by petroleum right now)
Passenger vehicles can run off electricity. We know that already. Electricity
is an extremely potent form of energy and it is fairly easy to get it to do
work for us. You can step up or down electricity to do the job of any gas or
diesel engine (Not at all monetarily cost effective) Also, there is an electric
infrastructure the same way there is a petroleum one. Passenger vehicles will
simply switch the infrastructure into which they operate and all other things
could stay the same. Obviously, electric cars don’t solve the problem, but they
do centralize it. If there was a universal form of energy that ran our cities (electricity
already runs the lighting and air conditioning a lot of times), the planet
could focus on the way if produces electricity and that focused effort would
produce vast improvements in technology for the collection of energy and its
storage and use in the form of electricity. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There are things in this time that we could never imagine running off of any
other source of energy. Take our cell phones. Those are clearly meant to be
electric devices. Look at computers and light bulbs. These things could not
work without electricity. You could have a gas powered computer, but it would
convert the energy from the engine to electricity and you would lose some in transfer
losses. Vehicles up to this point have been mechanically powered through the
potential energy in petroleum, but I propose a time where it will be common
knowledge that running a car off electricity is the best way to make it go.
They will know "maybe we could run it on gas, but it costs less for the
world to run it on electricity" THE COST OF GAS IS JUST TOO HIGH!<br />

We will be using our studio space as a lab to test out different methods of learning enhancement. We are using the Googleplex as inspiration for the name. You could think of it as an experiment in what makes a place fun to work in. We already have a ping pong table, a funny looking decorative tree, and a table with candy on it. Off to a great start I think. More posts will pop up as our research continues.<br />
<br />
One of the ideas being tossed around is a way of quantifying things like how much ping pong is played and how many people visit our studio to use our facility. It is also important to know what we all think is the worst performing program in the room and the best performing programs. We will define a program as a set of objects that creates something people can use or do when they are not working. The programs as I understand them will be something like this.<br />
<br />
Ping pong program<br />
<br />
visual arts program - wall division<br />
<br />
visual arts program - furniture division<br />
<br />
visual arts program - desk location division<br />
<br />
visual arts program - ceiling fixtures division<br />
<br />
food program<br />
<br />
social activities program<br />
<br />
Other programs may appear as they are thought of, but making each of these programs successful will make the Studioplex an enjoyable place to do work and a fun place to hang out. <br />

Today, I spruced up the studioplex with a little optical illusion. I hung our candy bowl from the ceiling. As you can see, the table was pretty boring before the bowl got lifted 8 inches off of it. Now it is a conversation piece that functions as a timer. If you wind up the bowl, you can get it to spin for 30 minutes. In other words, you could say something like "Let's get the bowl spinning and ping pong until it stops."</div>

In other words, perhaps features that help us interact with each other and slow down help to balance the scales of such a utilitarian building. Gas stations in the current paradigm are machines. They not only are purposed to keep vehicles and the industrial world moving, but they are designed for quick transactions for several other products. The goal is to get you in and out with the fuel you need and to continue the cycle that will bring you back to the station again. Maybe its gas. Maybe its coffee. Maybe its a honey bun. Maybe you need a snickers. The gas stations of today can get you all of those at the same time without slowing down you or the progress you intend to achieve. Now maybe this system seems attractive at first. I mean, who doesn't like the convienice of being able to grab a coffee while filling up your car on the way to work? Perhaps thought, the filling station of the future could address its own effects on society by offering within its </span><span style="text-align: center;">boundaries</span><span style="text-align: center;"> the antithesis to mechanization and </span><span style="text-align: center;">progress</span><span style="text-align: center;">.

Mies designed this gas station in 1969 in the little community of Nun's Island. It was commisioned by Imperial Oil. These images show the clean lines that are characteristic of mies' work and the function of the station seems contrary to today's typical gas stations. </div>

<div><div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Our studio took a walk in preparation for the design of our new project. The goal of the walk was to explore and document the border between College Station and Bryan. There is a curvy, jagged, and altogether confusing line that separates the "twin" cities. I put twin in quotes because the two municipalities have entirely different demographics. although it isn't evident at the border necessarily, it is clear that College Station has more money than Bryan and this zone where the two interact is especially interesting because it has an unusual concentration of dead space. When our professor claimed that there would be something intriguing along this borderline, I was skeptical, but during our investigation of the area, I realized that it was not the same as the areas around it. It was disheveled, spotty, unresolved. Our walk brought us to some interesting potential sites for our project and I will attempt to document in this post what it is about these places <br />

The link is a new way of connecting the Langford Architecture Complex buildings at Texas A&M University. It relocates programing such as a gallery and a cafe. It also addresses the spaces between the buildings by defining the area for a new grassy courtyard. Overall, the link is about making the college of architecture a more connected place with people from all facets of the construction process (Architecture, Construction Science, and Landscape Architecture) interacting with each other on a daily basis.Ben.Wildehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05039198224160326213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413542426294474101.post-29054787276895469032010-11-11T11:37:00.002-06:002012-01-25T22:09:13.833-06:00Abstracted Park Folly<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDLylsF-BnCUK9eBngdM5Oef9-qAPnb9OTDoiVkTm2wdNNdz7U8j3SrBU_PoO4CmdtB8TcPEk7iropCcwVdYvo9PjEuADtm7I7K1NiXXu1aXNB7N-NgOG5QpwI6XEm_mYciFv3JotMfg/s1600/ben+wilde+v3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538347995776276802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCDLylsF-BnCUK9eBngdM5Oef9-qAPnb9OTDoiVkTm2wdNNdz7U8j3SrBU_PoO4CmdtB8TcPEk7iropCcwVdYvo9PjEuADtm7I7K1NiXXu1aXNB7N-NgOG5QpwI6XEm_mYciFv3JotMfg/s400/ben+wilde+v3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 266px;" /></a><br />

<br />
Using 3ds Max Design, I created a Walkthrough and Flyby of my Revit models from Project 1. These virtual simulations of the houses are meant to give a clear explanation of architectural details and how the spaces can be moved through. To accomplish this goal I first imported the models to 3ds Max. I then applied new materials to several surfaces including the grass, the water, the exterior and interior walls, and some furniture. I used images from the web and personal images in some case to create materials or used the default material maps in 3ds Max. I applied bump maps to most of the materials to make them more realistic. Then I created a camera and a path for it to follow for each animation. It was very important to get the path just right so that the details that I wanted to show could be expressed. I set up key frames in each scene to direct the camera to the correct position for head tilt, and look left and right.<br />
After I had all the paths done, I went through and put lights in each room that the camera passed through. The lighting was tricky, as I had to balance the natural light with the artificial light and not let the windows look “washed out”. Then I rendered each scene. The flyby had 300 frames while the walkthrough had 910. The rendering took a significant amount of time. After it was all done I combined the images into an .avi file and enjoyed the show. The process of creating these walkthroughs taught me a lot about rendering and animation.<br />
3ds Max is a powerful program. The main thing I had trouble with was learning the details of the software because they are so numerous. For instance, Revit has very limited and simple rendering engine with just a few buttons whereas 3ds Max has a very complex system with many options and choices for rendering which took a long time to figure out. Also, sometimes the program would not let me or other students undo simple actions like moving and object.<br />

<div>While participating in Big Event, my friends and I came across six old clay pipes in Wolf Pen Creek. We hauled them out of the river and began to come up with a plan. We proposed a project to make a decorative sculpture out of the pipes to John Fairey and he was immediately on board. After a design competition amongst ourselves, the final idea was chosen. During the construction phase, it was discoverd that there was an abundance of river rock on the site where the sculpture was to be made. We ended up using the river rock as a transition from the dirt to the pipes and the effect is quite pleasing. The compleated product will be used as a display for plants that the nursery. We are well pleased with this project as it contains reuse and beauty. Photographs of the pipes with plants in them will come at a later date.<br />
