The Lake View Cemetery: Photographs From Cleveland's Historic Landmark, Barney Taxel, Laura Taxel

University of Akron Press Publications

The Lake View Cemetery, founded in 1869, was modeled after the great garden cemeteries of Victorian England and France. Over 107,000 individuals are interred on the sprawling 285 acre expanse that is located four and one-half miles from Cleveland's Public Square. According to a Plain Dealer report in 1870, the cemetery was designed to combine all the attractive features that "nature and true art can produce" to harmonize nature's alphabet-"stone, earth, wood and water." The landscape was laid out with broad avenues and shady walks "near the fountains in view of many a rustic pile [edifice] and quiet grave and …

Computational Fluid Dynamics For Early Stage Architectural Design, Russell Wisniewski, Corey T. Griffin, Mark Stroller, Lona Rerick, Erika Colvin, Jeanne Jameson, Stephen Colin

Research-Based Design Initiative

This project set out to evaluate the validity and usefulness of CFD within the contemporary Design Practice. Initially attempting to analyze a specifi c design it became clear a more general study was needed. Analyzing natural ventilation is an infi nitely complex process, to determine the level of simplication required for use involved breaking the natural process down and analyzing the pieces seperately and then together. By using this process it become clear how the process can be used by architecture fi rms within their design process.

Cross Laminated Timber Building Performance, Portland State University. School Of Architecture

Research-Based Design Initiative

Current standard construction techniques play an increasing role in greenhouse gas emissions, so the need for exploration into alternative methods are a requirement for future products and construction. 47% of the CO2 emissions delivered into our atmosphere are due to building construction and materials. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) and other varied wood products are an emerging, viable source of sustainable, alternative building methods. The presented body of research explains the benefits of utilizing CLT, and other wood products, by expressing their embodied energy calculations and how that is determined by a process known as “Cradle-to-Gate”.

Evolutionary Modeling And Building Energy Efficiency: How Can Building Performance Evaluation Be Integrated Early Into An Ever-Accelerating Design Process?, Portland State University. School Of Architecture

Research-Based Design Initiative

With the increasing demand for energy efficient buildings, designers have begun to face a new challenge- how can performance evaluation be integrated into the ever-accelerating design process? The design and performance evaluation of a building are, in most cases, divorced. The designer will often have to halt, freeze the design, and wait for performance results to filter back. That gap between freezing the design and awaiting results can be weeks. In that time the design may have changed dramatically and the results made useless. In other instances, the final design is submitted to be evaluated, results are received, and critical, …

The Role Of Healing Gardens, Kalina K. Vander Poel, Zgf

Research-Based Design Initiative

The overarching objective of this research is to expand the dialogue of the role of healing gardens in hospitals. In order to understand the role of healing gardens in hospitals, it is important to determine how and to what extent the healing garden is being used. By expanding this dialogue we can reaffirm the legitimacy of current approaches such as design criteria and the program. When the perception and role of healing gardens in hospitals is understood, research based design decisions can improve the quality of life for patients, providers, and visitors.

Beaverton High School, Katie Barmore-Mccollum, Nicole De Jong, Sergio Palleroni, Huafen Hu, Reid Weber, Pae

Research-Based Design Initiative

The intended task was to study early massing concepts for climate responsiveness using Sefaira as an analytical tool. We were to work rapidly to analyze a series of massing concepts during the schematic design phase and provide feedback to the Boora design team to determine which factors/outputs to be studied such as daylighting, energy use, and building orientation. We received three massing models from Boora to study in Sefaira and compare EUI, Fabric Conduction Loss, Peak heating hours, and Monthly Consumption. Some of the results we were coming to evolved the initial task and drove this project down a different …

Faubion Pk-8 School: Daylight Analysis, Sergio Palleroni, Haufen Hu, Adam Mcsorley, Katherine Odell, Valeriya Shcheglova, Boora Architects

Research-Based Design Initiative

Light is the first thing that captures your eye after you are born and is often the last th ing you see before you fall asleep. Light makes humans, objects, spaces, architecture and everything we see around us visib le by its reflection. Everyday, people are confronted with light and shadow, two elements that are complementary. Daylight is a natu ral element that changes every minute, caused by the rotation of the earth around the sun. It informs us of days, time, seasons, which causes humans have to surrender to this. Architecture must adapt this element in its design process. …

Examining Feasibility Of Thermal Mass For Passive Heating And Cooling In The Pacific Northwest, Portland State University. School Of Architecture

Research-Based Design Initiative

Scientifically, thermal mass is equivalent to thermal capacitance or heat capacity, the ability of a body to store thermal energy.

In building design, thermal mass is a property of the mass of a building which enables it to store heat, providing “inertia” against temperature fluctuations. For example, when outside temperatures are fluctuating throughout the day, a large thermal mass within the insulated portion of a house can serve to “flatten out” the daily temperature fluctuations, since the thermal mass will absorb thermal energy when the surroundings are higher in temperature than the mass, and give thermal energy back when the …
