2 But in the architecture of today we are trying to rediscover the original values, in direct response to the physical and spiritual needs of men, without being subject to prejudices which have restrained us for centuries, and of which the style of buildings (here) is the outcome.

14 steel objective is simple: exploit the material - learn the vocabulary - understand the material properties and characteristics - explore the material as both structural system AND enclosure system - study the fabrication and installation processes - consider the spatial and experiential characteristics of steel buildings - develop an intuition

15 steel objective is simple: exploit the material - learn the vocabulary - understand the material properties and characteristics - explore the material as both structural system AND enclosure system - study the fabrication and installation processes - consider the spatial and experiential characteristics of steel buildings - develop an intuition Filter your processes through the material. Examine your criteria through the lens of the material.

62 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT

63 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT Go up. Go down.

88 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT Design a steel stair and pole tower for firefighters. It may be a lookout for forest fires, a candidate-training tower, or the everyday access to/from the apparatus floor of a fire station. The critical investigations will be the act of ascending/descending and the details of connection (material, programmatic, and spatial) at each landing/level/platform. Investigate steel as the main building material both structurally and expressively. All structural components will consist of conventional or custom steel sections (tubes, angles, channels, W-sections, etc), sheet metal, steel cables etc. that will be applied to a conclusive structural system.

89 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT The remaining criteria are as follows: 1. The tower shall achieve a minimum height of 24 and a maximum height of The stairs (rise/run) and handrails must comply with a current code of your choosing. 3. The tower must include both stairs and a fireman s pole, and the stair tower may include any one other single element.

91 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT WHY: 1. Define the problem. 2. Define your criteria. 3. Develop your objectives. 4. Don t guess. Discover.

92 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT WHAT: 1. Develop hunches. 2. Define your palette. 3. Take positions. 4. Test your objectives. 5. Don t guess. Work.

93 project 1. ASCENT / DESCENT HOW: 1. Translate your positions into space. 2. Test your strategies. 3. Exploit the material. 4. Repeat.
