Columbus Museum for Innovative Objects of Design
Reception. Action. Resolution. Performance. Product vs. Process.
The Columbus Center for Innovative Objects of Design acts as an outlet for both local and global visitors to experience various scales of innovation. The museum stems from the idea that Columbus is primarily on exhibition, itself. As a city rich with architectural composition, the CCIOD aims to maximize the potential to exhibit approach to design in addition to the final product. Designing with process-based program at the building’s perimeter, space resolves across the site from showcase to protection-based space. Using the entry sequence as a destination from essential neighboring buildings, the proposal allows for one to shift through space similarly to how the building shifts across the site.
Process Work (sketch / models / graphics ):
Precedent Architecture:
· Dominus Estate —Herzog & de Meuron : A precedent with rich programmatic overlap. A space where process, presentation and entry happen simultaneously. On the estate, the approach and preservation of winemaking was key. Herzog & de Meuron placed public navigation and reception second to the process of the wine, just as the client had expected.
· American Swedish Institute – HGA – A museum with several of the same programmatic problems as what the CCF has outlined. A building that must also speak to cultural architecture while aligning with modern resolutions.
· de Young – Herzog & de Meuron – a museum where reflectivity is essential. Gallery content not only transitions through interior materiality, but also landscape as several courtyards are strategically placed between collections.
· Buda Art Centre – 51N4E – a programmatic overlap of artist exhibition space and residence. Material characteristics match that of Columbus while the resolution of brick orientation, color, an overall impact by 51N4E speaks volumes against the adjacent red brick, linear street facades.
Precedent Architects:
· Herzog & de Meuron— as a reflection of modern masters with materiality production, implementation and perception within highly considered space. Their consideration for both fabricated and natural material, and where these might have the opportunity integrate, delivers project after project rich with user experience and discovery.
· Hariri & Hariri – as a driver for current response to city and the ability as a firm to balance between object design and architecture successfully.
· Steven Holl – as an inspiration for spatial consideration from conception to final construction and the ability to show this process throughout

SKETCHBOOK
DRAWING: ARCH 431
Part I:
PART II:
In collaboration with: Max Dowd (Landscape Architecture), Matthew Darmour-Paul, and Kevin Wood.
Near the Ponte Cavour, we have identified the Mausoleum of Augustus and the Ara Pacis as a space for an introduction of the Tiber River back into the city of Rome. By drawing and channeling its waters to street level, we are challenging a Roman perception by identifying the river as a resource rather than a place for refuse. Through the alteration of Richard Meier’s plaza and a historical archeological site, we’ve established a language of ‘water as cycle’, using it as an instrument for memory, reflection and contemplation. In the space between antiquity and modernity, we are housing a memorial for the lives that have been taken by the Tiber, using its water to resurrect a sacred landscape: the moat that surrounds the Mausoleum.
