Poetics-of-Space
- 1. 1 Poetics of Space A Portfolio of Creative Work By: Devon Ayers dayers1@kent.edu Bachelor of Science in Architecture Kent State University
- 2. The portfolio you are about to view is a representation of four years of undergraduate study in architectural design. The projects shared in these pages represent a diversity in design theory as experienced in eight design studios. This blending of interdisciplinary art forms and applied science illustrates how architectural design can be used to serve the ever changing needs of society. And with inspiration grounded in logic, I believe we can enhance the experience of life. January 1, 2011
- 4. Contents L4 Caribbean Music Hall of Fame L2 SRO Housing The Caribbean Music Hall of Fame challenges the idea of site and program. The site itself drops a total of 140’just within the boundaries. The stepping effect and repetition was the theme in Cleveland. I was able to mimic the neighborhood design since it was located in a residential neighborhood. 6 18
- 5. L2 Housing Complex L3 El Bulli / “Fast Good” Restaurant C In the quant town of Kent, Ohio, the project parameters included to develop a housing complex with the bottom level being elegant little shops. El Bulli and fast health are boutique restaurants that offer a special experience with food preparation and presentation. A growing trend is to use restaurant design to enhance the connection between customer and the eating experience. 26 38 DesignStudio

- 16. 16 L4 CaribbeanMusicHallofFame 16 The walkway that overlooks the lobby is interrupted by the interior louvered wall. It provides for an open environment feeling while selectively obstructing a view of other parts of the building. A layering of materials and the design layout are used here to create the feeling of openness.

- 42. 42 L3 ElBulli/“FastGood”Restaurant 42 Plans for the restaurant reflect different levels where eating pods could be placed. The open air design allows the pods to be connected by the same path or site.Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
- 43. 43 L3 DesignStudio Level3 43 Developing a 3D model was the logical next step. This approach allowed me to develop a real world example confirmed that regardless of which pod a customer sites at they can enjoy an open line of site to the outside world.
- 45. 45 L3 DesignStudio Level3 45 These perspectives show views of the visual experience while sitting inside the restaurant. The top photo shows what a customer will see by looking toward the roof level. The bottom photo shows how the lower pods interact with the entrance of the building.
- 46. 46 L3 ElBulli/FastGood 46 The open air market was ready for a new experience and therefor required some basic research. As I learned in my research to determine the best restaurant design, many elements overlap. In order to create a visual of the overlapping elements I used the mapping process shown to the left. I took what I learned from the research and mapping process to strategically locate repetitive items. Therefore as one passes down the center aisle repetitive elements complement each other. This approach provided the basis for the entire market layout.
- 47. 47 L3 DesignStudio Level3 47 The same pod concept that was used in defining the elements in the restaurant, in it became the driving force designing behind the rest of the market complex. The photo to the right provides a perspective shows how overlapping levels can complement repetition. The diagram below shows a color coated layout of strategically located pod elements. These ‘pods’were developed from taking multiple sections of the restaurant unit developed earlier.
- 48. 48 L3 ElBulli/“FastGood”Restaurant 48 The pods were designed to make use of the entire site. The section below shows their orientation. The opposite side of the market complex is a mirror image of this pod layout.
- 49. 49 L3 DesignStudio Level3 49 This longitudinal section shows the relationship between levels and their staircases. The sections from the restaurant, as shown in the previous diagram, are easily seen here. These sections were turned in 3D forms providing a realistic model from which I developed the market complex.
- 52. 52 L3 ElBulli/“FastGood”Restaurant 52 In the foreground of the perspective below, the element of moving water was built into the program. It was designed as multiple connecting waterfall pods at various levels. The water also circulated at strategic points in the market adding an element of fresh outdoors.
- 53. 53 L3 DesignStudio Level3 53 The perspective below shows the relationship of the surrounding buildings and between the two new developed areas: the fast health restaurant the newly developed market space.
