attempt to situate contemporary trends in vegetated architecture, such as green roofs and livings walls, within a historical lineage inclusive of their tectonic, technologic, and typological evolution. In addition to creating a historical and theoretical framework with which to understand the current ubiquity of vegetated architecture in speculative and built projects internationally, this studio proposes new directions for research, design pedagogy, and collaboration. Suggesting that critical dialogue, peer review, and the open exchange of information replace proprietary innovations made by industry and patent developers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51); "> </span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff33;">Horticultural Building Systems are defined here as the instance where vegetation and an architectural system exist in a mutually defined and intentionally designed relationship that supports plant growth and an architectonic concept. This definition allows for the history of Horticultural Building Systems to be traced through the seemingly disparate evolutions of horticultural and architectural technology that link the glass house and Crystal Palace to modern architecture and current trends in green architecture. Theories of tectonic culture, modern architecture, and horticultural innovation are placed in direct dialogue with patents and architectural case studies to elucidate a history of Horticultural Building Systems that is inclusive of tectonic, technologic, typological and horticultural histories. Technological and architectural precedents for these system will be presented along with patented technology dating back to 1937. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff33;"> </span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff33;">As the desire for Horticultural Building Systems grows culturally so will the need for critical dialogue and peer review in horticulture, landscape, and architecture alike. The rise of Horticultural Building Systems in speculative and built architecture leaves many questions unanswered, as every site and system becomes a new architectural and horticultural experiment. A disparity exists between the ubiquity of “green” or vegetated building systems in architectural and what is actually known about the design, construction, history, and theory of these experimental systems. This disparity represents fertile ground for collaborative research and future pedagogies that integrate horticultural sciences, building system engineering, architecture and landscape. The “Horticultural Building System Studio”, taught at the University of Oregon, will be presented as a case study for this multidisciplinary design and research.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;

Ceramics takes a lot of attention to detail, we spent many long hours propping the tiles to keep their shape, waiting for them to dry to scratch and slip them or hurrying to connect them before they were too dry. Many considerations must be taken into account when dealing with a large project such as our green-roof. For example, we had to make many parts of the ceramic roof at the same time because they must be at the same consistency to avoid cracking and different shrinkage rates. Something we did overlook was the shrinkage of the tile as a whole through the firing stages. We designed the wooden roof structure holding the ceramic tiles to the width of eight clay tiles. However, when we manufactured the tiles, we measured them to a known dimension, wet; not taking the firing shrinkage into consideration. Consequently, after the firing process, we were left with a small uncovered portion on the right side of the roof. Overall, the attention to detail paid off and our roof is a success.<br />The kiln that fired our 50+ tiles is named Olsen. This large gas kiln helped us make the ceramic tiles with no losses or damage. It was the first time for any of us to experience the world of the kiln. The first firing is called bisque. After shaping the tiles and letting them dry, we loaded the kiln.<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9bupZ946DcY/TGOECR1K7wI/AAAAAAAAAsY/w8WYOlqZjBA/s1600/stackkiln%24.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9bupZ946DcY/TGOECR1K7wI/AAAAAAAAAsY/w8WYOlqZjBA/s400/stackkiln%24.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504388344257900290" border="0" /></a></span></span>Cheri, a friend who has experience in the ceramic lab extended her time to help us (thank you Cheri!) fire our tiles.

First, portions of the tiles that will be in contact with the kiln are waxed to prevent glaze from sticking to the tile and kiln board. Next, the tiles are evenly coated with glaze.

The infiltration bed is situated in the previous location of a comfrey patch. When the comfrey returns it will contribute to the cleansing and filtration of the stormwater as it it percolates through the infiltration bed to the water table. The scale of the infiltration bed also addresses the accumulation of stormwater runoff from the paved pathways adjacent to potting shed. The initial design concept for the downspout system incorporated three appendages of flexible plastic tubing which were intended for use as small scale planters that would take up a portion of the initial stormwater flush. The installation of these appendages proved problematic in terms of inappropriateness of material, leakage, and aesthetic sensibility. For these reasons, they were eliminated from the final installation of the downspout. While this was a disappointing decision to make, we felt it to be necessary for the system to function and effectively deal with the issue of stormwater management at the potting shed.<br /><br />PROCESS IMAGES<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcjDLw3ScWfCuD-yGeMsLqBxaEKzAFFNlGJ_KTVfph0Koi2gb-Ltc-Taewkx2DMGc1NhIYjWB515jb7GBnjDV9UrRQ5iA0kVLvUkRo_WqVDfYBwLMRE7Zzm0yVgPtT-_ooo_k1I7EFrzA/s1600/potting+shed+process+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcjDLw3ScWfCuD-yGeMsLqBxaEKzAFFNlGJ_KTVfph0Koi2gb-Ltc-Taewkx2DMGc1NhIYjWB515jb7GBnjDV9UrRQ5iA0kVLvUkRo_WqVDfYBwLMRE7Zzm0yVgPtT-_ooo_k1I7EFrzA/s320/potting+shed+process+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504325427559905314" border="0" /></a><br /><br />ADDITIONAL STORMWATER INSTALLATION<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXOdqki1ahKs4mIGhKnJk-WzfMU5wiwGYqO0pcosIFoj5wlxMiIjfNp7YeVZ6luOUkVWJO38JbvqRDAORQynu7iigq71yGVLATFYbUjLCBBo5Dz0T925ygPPFmpNcExRdnJDxO_ZhNo0/s1600/potting+shed+process+3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDXOdqki1ahKs4mIGhKnJk-WzfMU5wiwGYqO0pcosIFoj5wlxMiIjfNp7YeVZ6luOUkVWJO38JbvqRDAORQynu7iigq71yGVLATFYbUjLCBBo5Dz0T925ygPPFmpNcExRdnJDxO_ZhNo0/s320/potting+shed+process+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504325791098956354" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to the stormwater management system at the potting shed, there is a second system in progress located near the ceramics studio by the urban farm. This system will draw water from the roof of the ceramics shed and carry it through "waterfall" step system along the fence and down to the infiltration bed. This system will incorporate downspout drip units to allocate water to gutter planters mounted on the fence. Drawings and info for this project can be seen at the Urban Farm Mid-Review post. Work will continue on this project in the coming weeks and the final images will be posted when it is complete.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859822955075023952.post-62273968878372302902010-08-11T17:42:00.000-07:002010-08-11T18:32:57.587-07:00Framework for Transpiration: the movieA stop motion video of the construction of a transpiration tube, and the erection of the entire assembly.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dySsec4vgS3PNbtdxBQ8H3JExo0-wGjpFkHzI4p1VSXwCtpk8TTrJ9pHduJH9UJx6drZLPfM6zbZTY5nyF84Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859822955075023952.post-42907276874679557442010-08-11T10:26:00.000-07:002010-08-11T10:28:51.797-07:00Courthouse Garden Shed Green Roof<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_m7a_LQgkfHqPhgVW9c8KEb0a7JbwDoWW-RnZFrOsuH1CGkLfJi-1qv8PQjS2FGMa-eQHq6AYT0IP8JFHfobVmXJ1r3_Y139Jnq6PwjxlGwwVufuHH_ZlEMSja3x-11AK_T38oAxyux4/s1600/Midterm3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_m7a_LQgkfHqPhgVW9c8KEb0a7JbwDoWW-RnZFrOsuH1CGkLfJi-1qv8PQjS2FGMa-eQHq6AYT0IP8JFHfobVmXJ1r3_Y139Jnq6PwjxlGwwVufuHH_ZlEMSja3x-11AK_T38oAxyux4/s400/Midterm3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504205563531929330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7jy347HWzXorNsrZK8plGsRczHBjPb0ZLOhnQieUvzac7098QhnkK_miH0DKYpCS1imh8duimNPiFq5EETCQDUArVgBnoxk-jGzFd-PpN83BeXoSjImpp1hnHmr3hyDpc-doPDgXaNRs/s1600/Midterm6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7jy347HWzXorNsrZK8plGsRczHBjPb0ZLOhnQieUvzac7098QhnkK_miH0DKYpCS1imh8duimNPiFq5EETCQDUArVgBnoxk-jGzFd-PpN83BeXoSjImpp1hnHmr3hyDpc-doPDgXaNRs/s400/Midterm6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504205444702664130" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859822955075023952.post-24936436530509682722010-08-10T11:51:00.000-07:002010-08-19T13:37:40.036-07:00The Earth Bank: A Living Building System by Matt Brooke and Walter Cicack<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlBNEnVTA40B4kKM9uYfFy0L2lDHPC2vSFE7OCj48lbMaeRgLkRGv_rLP9eHJIvmnIfPbxO8CvTUJI6b0LYoNsoTVywMoHqaNwM-U3EgZkTMm1E4u60Is8T2Y2a7hqpBTMn1rU7dSnvwW/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlBNEnVTA40B4kKM9uYfFy0L2lDHPC2vSFE7OCj48lbMaeRgLkRGv_rLP9eHJIvmnIfPbxO8CvTUJI6b0LYoNsoTVywMoHqaNwM-U3EgZkTMm1E4u60Is8T2Y2a7hqpBTMn1rU7dSnvwW/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503856024291144354" border="0" /></a><br />The Earth Bank system has been successfully installed on the shipping container at the Eugene Federal Courthouse Garden. The final result was a concrete wall 3" thick supporting the living needs of various sedums. Time will reveal weather or not the Earth Bank can successfully allow seeds to germinate and thrive.<br /><br />When we published our midterm post we had just finished our second round of test pours for the experimental Earth Bank mixture. As we were pouring our third round of experimental mixtures we had the idea to use the Earth Bank as a direct potting soil for starts and sedums rather than just seeds (as the project was originally conceived). This allowed us to increase the viability of the project by allowing it to support green life from the start. The seeds became a secondary feature intended to "fill out" the negative spaces left over by the sedums.<br /><br />Our third round of test pours was highly refined with data collected from the first sixteen test blocks. In the third round we finally stumbled upon a mixture that seemed to be working- it was lite enough to be mounted on the shipping container, strong and stable enough not to fall apart and suitable as a living matrix for plant life. This is what our successful test block looked like:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpc-MRglHhNT8fecjM_vLP7y1K6tSESt57iEgr9L3l1GfrpyB5CMLj2kKmRDsCzACA2CHRZ7h7XhOHqlEaTptLT_DG1FVQSZyfZ5L5QDeL9ehG7qWMEaUedZpXWlxb7UrIlbdFbde3dQtA/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpc-MRglHhNT8fecjM_vLP7y1K6tSESt57iEgr9L3l1GfrpyB5CMLj2kKmRDsCzACA2CHRZ7h7XhOHqlEaTptLT_DG1FVQSZyfZ5L5QDeL9ehG7qWMEaUedZpXWlxb7UrIlbdFbde3dQtA/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503858560941375842" border="0" /></a><br />As you can see we experimented with planting a variety of sedums and hearty native grasses in this test block. At the time this post was published, the block was nearly five weeks old and all of plants planted in it were still alive and thriving.<br /><br />With a workable Earth Bank mixture selected, it was time for us to construct the mounting bracket and internal reinforcement for our living wall.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEoNeRoM9P2OBb9ruz7TS-03YAp4S_NaPljSECbebbD1Bgm8DWy4fCNa7W5Q7qGPvlX1h9L3DIEYwiuWt4mGt-PfCcpBLF-hNMXcScm3_coyy9SSLe2tpZe0RyRN1KA8IsNktIF9AK54CV/s1600/brookecicack9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEoNeRoM9P2OBb9ruz7TS-03YAp4S_NaPljSECbebbD1Bgm8DWy4fCNa7W5Q7qGPvlX1h9L3DIEYwiuWt4mGt-PfCcpBLF-hNMXcScm3_coyy9SSLe2tpZe0RyRN1KA8IsNktIF9AK54CV/s400/brookecicack9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503860933305297554" border="0" /></a>As the diagram above illustrates we designed the mounting system to be constructed of 1" wide x 1/8" thick strips of standard A36 steel and to be joined together using nuts and bolts rather than welding (because neither of us knew how to weld and the fabricator's estimate for the job was over $350).

We borrowed a cement mixer form UO Architecture Professor Stephen Duff which gave us a big advantage and made the whole job a lot easier.<br /><br />Before pouring the mixture, we had to prep the formwork.

With their help, we managed to have all the sedums planted into the Earth Bank within a half an hour, the job was done just as the Earth Bank was becoming painful to dig into. We chose to space the sedums apart by 2 or 3 inches in order to give plenty of space for our grass and wildflower seeds to germinate and grow. The idea with the plant spacing was that the sedums would provide an attractive living green aesthetic right from the start and the grasses and wildflowers would slowly grow into the negative spaces in between, the hope being that eventually the whole Earth Bank would be covered with vibrant living plants.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvCDjVZMkJnRps0PLNiImbdsst77ZT0-8fN75iMmIEVCGG90tQxHnWoIj-A6z3fSBn-nPgEGrvNuovimr2glDOZb8vTM_Fy76NiScPOOrFFsvrwRwu1HtwA7CFLqvsDgru76zHYPa-zAo1/s1600/21.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvCDjVZMkJnRps0PLNiImbdsst77ZT0-8fN75iMmIEVCGG90tQxHnWoIj-A6z3fSBn-nPgEGrvNuovimr2glDOZb8vTM_Fy76NiScPOOrFFsvrwRwu1HtwA7CFLqvsDgru76zHYPa-zAo1/s400/21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503951637645321858" border="0" /></a><br />With the Earth Bank planted and prepared for drying, we placed some old scraps of plywood we found at the site over it to keep of excess sun and heat while the plants were in their most vulnerable state. Even with the data from the successful test block telling us that the sedums could withstand full sun during the curing process and pull through just fine, we wanted them to get a good opportunity to settle into the Earth Bank before exposing them to full sunlight.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvtX4829ZWrddQ5viu3iEPzWr1tx0ffofdHF57cn1CE-zfekeGO38NYx-NWgdK63e-IHKzxiEwsfjpVvbcLFY6hTGfYHkaKSnPHpNIZ9yt2WeKdlgQ6Z7uLWNYoFS1zhl704nSi0pwb27W/s1600/23.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvtX4829ZWrddQ5viu3iEPzWr1tx0ffofdHF57cn1CE-zfekeGO38NYx-NWgdK63e-IHKzxiEwsfjpVvbcLFY6hTGfYHkaKSnPHpNIZ9yt2WeKdlgQ6Z7uLWNYoFS1zhl704nSi0pwb27W/s400/23.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503954591166807746" border="0" /></a><br />The Earth Bank was allowed to sit and cure in this state for a week before we took any more action.

The back slab of the Earth Bank was not adhering to the steel frame the way the front slab was. The rear slab was completely disconnected; our plan to use hemp twine to tie the two slabs to the steel frame was unsuccessful.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKTViowXz4sY_lEUqWmNaryNAHMXCqxSKQaSxMEY8Ir7FGtH2bz9R8BkqhH8zVhiXE2IYoZlutJsZUFusO6GwUrM_CiqFiNOa6bmfzXQzx6UVWzqrlqBd_nP20h6U4PQBu3VH1GzqyvaV/s1600/40.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKTViowXz4sY_lEUqWmNaryNAHMXCqxSKQaSxMEY8Ir7FGtH2bz9R8BkqhH8zVhiXE2IYoZlutJsZUFusO6GwUrM_CiqFiNOa6bmfzXQzx6UVWzqrlqBd_nP20h6U4PQBu3VH1GzqyvaV/s400/40.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503973216137701282" border="0" /></a><br />As you can see the rear slab was falling down, disconnected from the steel frame, the only thing preventing it from falling on the ground was the bottom feet of the steel frame. Since the rear slab was basically dead weight at this point we decided to remove it. Carefully breaking it apart with hammers and chisels we crumbled it down to a point where it could be slid in between the bottom steel feet and removed from the cage.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-qpDuD24w3ILNWfJpm4Kpcicbkh6BOQLbMPTee_WzyW4v0vIHHEDUTEkJYPK23JXjR50cl5hgN3Pf-la3s2E1aSNHiIvcpxUsPwtywh6OIOgFKpvNdEzHPp4KxmU2wAOoeBs2V45Gqhy/s1600/41.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-qpDuD24w3ILNWfJpm4Kpcicbkh6BOQLbMPTee_WzyW4v0vIHHEDUTEkJYPK23JXjR50cl5hgN3Pf-la3s2E1aSNHiIvcpxUsPwtywh6OIOgFKpvNdEzHPp4KxmU2wAOoeBs2V45Gqhy/s400/41.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503973349944789682" border="0" /></a><br />We ended up with a pile of wasted Earth Bank that had to be carted off and disposed of.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24Py6OMksDwhxD_-NRrffGh7RqM-EV1thiWBooMARzTk2nqCGqe4Mi3_TkrcgWo1y54CHLp4p5LF-xQrCTLKDXynfMuCP_d54DI-p8KcUO2eLNMUe0nWLgMC8f52RU_FWKcPWHj7hWAaA/s1600/42.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24Py6OMksDwhxD_-NRrffGh7RqM-EV1thiWBooMARzTk2nqCGqe4Mi3_TkrcgWo1y54CHLp4p5LF-xQrCTLKDXynfMuCP_d54DI-p8KcUO2eLNMUe0nWLgMC8f52RU_FWKcPWHj7hWAaA/s400/42.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503973501647904866" border="0" /></a><br />The front slab did adhere to the steel frame, however. We believe that this is probably due to two factors. First, the front slab had the benefit of the (highly textured) nylon zipties attaching directly to the slab and the steel frame. The zip ties can hold 50 lbs a piece and there were several dozen of them; this may provide some support to hold the slab onto the frame. The other factor may be that since the top slab was poured onto the steel frame and wire mesh it had a better opportunity to envelop and bond with the steel system. Either way, the top slab adhered strongly. In the end, instead of having an Earth Bank that was 6" thick, we ended up with one that was merely 3" thick. We found that this was a pleasing, thinline aesthetic and we were not disappointed with the final result. After all, the most important part of the Earth Bank was successfully mounted and installed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZe9DDOnZvUwz6fXB5mogLABHWGpGSEM44iYz_DXMNuZIbEvkZ3PJ0S_CE8OSjURcaznPJzny_yZfPBYOXT221vtTb8IB9-hL1cJXU3FsblgqJQCo2Gv1Kj3mlwh8VBG1_9VhV3ZvO96KH/s1600/43.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The original post showed beautiful imagery of the newest, "greenest" walls, each more breathtaking than the last. A few days later, another email from the Guild entitled "green walls are NOT 'green.' " The premise being that these walls require so much energy, much more than being grown on the ground and more than they will offset in reduced cooling/heating loads. These arguments are not new and are fairly well documented. The surprise to me came from the signature at the bottom, a colleague of mine from the landscape department, whom I had worked with in the Ecological Design Center. A challenge from a fellow student gave me the pretext for my final product this summer, a passive living wall.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><b>Transpiration</b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">The most typical and successful models for a green wall system are based on hydroponics. A nutrient rich water solution is pumped through the system and dripped or misted directly on the roots, requiring no conventional soil medium for their growth. This water is then collected at the bottom and recirculated. After thoroughly researching these methods I came to the conclusion that I would either need to collect water on the roof, and slowly let it drip down the wall, or I would need to make the water move against gravity. Given our site, a small trailer, I quickly realized that the former is not an option. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Soon I was reliving fourth grade, watching water travel up a paper towel, moving water from one glass to another using capillary action. Later, I was in eighth grade, relearning how a tree works. Transpiration is a powerful form of evaporation. The tree starts water up with capillary action, meanwhile the leaves allow water to evaporate causing a negative pressure to suck water up. An oak tree can create a pressure of 75 ppi, and now I must emulate it.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><b>Experimentation</b></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Leading up to this point, I have been conducting material experiments to try and figure out the best way to move water up a wall. The basic idea is that an absorbent fabric will wick water up from a basin. At certain points up the wall are pockets containing the plant growing medium, a mixture of perlite, slow-release fertilizer, and a super-absorbent polymer. The super-absorbent polymer serves 2 purposes. First it creates a reservoir for the plant living in it, and secondly it allows the fabric to use it as a step. Gravity limits the height a liquid will move up through capillary action, so this creates a new base point for the fabric at each level. Further, the plant pulls water up creating even more incentive for the water to travel up the wall.</div><div><br /></div></b></div></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><br /></span></div>The site, a metal container(green), the toolshed for the community gardens. my wall will go on the western side, facing the federal courthouse(grey).

They represent an array of possibilities and potential that sparked our interests early on in the conceptual development phase. We are interested in the application of moss walls both for interior as well as exterior environments, both as a visual design feature and a tactile element that encourages interaction with the spaces we inhabit. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, we intend to explore possible subsequent benefits from the micro-climates and cooling effects created by moss cultivation within our living environments. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse;

We embarked on a walking tour of The University of Oregon campus and outlying areas collecting moss that we found growing in the cool shadows. We found the most variety of species growing on the north stone face of Hendricks Hill along Franklin Boulevard. We also found several ferns and flowers that were growing within the moss with almost no soil. Our intent is to identify the different type of mosses and determine which would be the most suitable for propagation within a constructed environment. We also noted the coloration, size, and texture each species offered and their potential to mosaic together as in some of the precedents we had looked at earlier. We took the samples back to studio and let portions go dormant and dry while other portions we kept in cups with water to see how each species looked in both conditions. Eventually, the moss species that we determine to be the most suitable for our moss wall project will be put in a blender with buttermilk to begin the propagation process and applied like a paint to test-rocks for display.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse;

We chose to create form-work that would fit in between the ribs of the storage container were we will eventually be displaying our work. Our plan was to make five different forms, with each of them being divided into four separate horizontal chambers. Each chamber will be filled with concrete and embedded with the same stone sample. However, each horizontal portion will be painted with a different species of moss sample. In this way we will be able to see how different moss species react to different types of stone as a growing medium. We used The University of Oregon Craft Center, the AAA Woodshop, and our personal shop space as well as the site itself for construction.</span><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXj4E8-Dp2wzfy7DvzTyXhbcrMgALrJeTYKOlUkHQFSIobam2XIOl-e0a4mR0_WSBM9rUgxh_p5Gmdv5SyaRtBj_ltNwizWdacnjH_7a8Gp1sMUGCpS74hDpgpJbE2Zk19DSpttgQ2kZY/s1600/Construction+1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

This concept is currently envisioned as a partition wall or wall sheathing system and is not currently being engineered for structural applications. </div><div><br /></div><div>The primary engineering task in creating the Earth Bank is to experiment with a variety of different cementitious mixtures in order to find one or more that fit the following criteria:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. The Earth Bank must be rigid enough to support its own weight and coherent enough not to fall apart. It is intended to degrade and erode over time, but over the course of years, not weeks or months.</div><div><br /></div>2. The Earth Bank must provide a viable living substrate for grasses, flowers, and annual/perennial herbaceous plants. The Earth Bank should provide these plants all of the air and fertilizer they need to grow and reproduce, with the intention being that the Earth Bank is self-seeding and does not need to be replanted after installation. Water for these plants will be provided by either rainwater or an irrigation system depending on the particulars of a given installation. <div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI91kbiV6lnIkcsVjyNom8rm2pSH-xVprLG2ZavCvLbAEGZ6ffHSwsfw3VEFsbmLTJnDiyOx3ofRE6t4gK5bPerJ_KmveU-sXlEOYB-vY82Y15it71rA6woPVcBp5-NF1tU8uwYxs15lE/s1600/brookecicack9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI91kbiV6lnIkcsVjyNom8rm2pSH-xVprLG2ZavCvLbAEGZ6ffHSwsfw3VEFsbmLTJnDiyOx3ofRE6t4gK5bPerJ_KmveU-sXlEOYB-vY82Y15it71rA6woPVcBp5-NF1tU8uwYxs15lE/s320/brookecicack9.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494208458926377762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuUMgJKT4vRkpKd2vUfiZIvmZ_csxKoT71PtslOQR8l7jEq-sSzsg9YcMst-6rdcunW-Ss3DK7w-GJwiJVIjafZQ3ZIASSG6W593rHw2TwY_ElWecBriT8VwrPsOThr2f7tSVJ_wQGgI/s1600/brookecicack10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuUMgJKT4vRkpKd2vUfiZIvmZ_csxKoT71PtslOQR8l7jEq-sSzsg9YcMst-6rdcunW-Ss3DK7w-GJwiJVIjafZQ3ZIASSG6W593rHw2TwY_ElWecBriT8VwrPsOThr2f7tSVJ_wQGgI/s320/brookecicack10.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494208406438681762" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px">In order to test the different mixtures for the Earth Bank, we decided to pour several small test blocks in improvised brick molds (recycled vent housings from Bring Recycling Center).

From these regions, the use of clay tile spread throughout Asia and Europe. Not only the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, but also the Greeks and Romans roofed their buildings with clay tiles, and adaptations of their practice continue in Europe to the present.

An especially important water symbol was the swirling tomoe pattern. The basic tomoe design originated in China and has been used in Japan since at least the Yayoi period (300 B.C.-300 A.D.). The pattern always includes one or more comma-shaped swirls oriented in a right or left facing pattern. This image is thought to symbolize water as the Chinese character used to write this name translates as either “whirlpool” or “eddy”. The tomoe design has spiritual connotations as well and is a frequently seen on religious implements and used with temple and shrine architecture.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVuMexSEoSktPFrnQvKgvUSmUjXUCtBI4QTZYYl_hSNWJSH-WlYGRD99fX_cjX8YnDbtPE44a6iz_dVIIW_NblLl0BuIxG3ek0NDBwreuYYJmFTb0Kevs1uHF3DOA1H6AVZSI1pfE0Pw/s1600/ceramic+red+ginkgo.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMVuMexSEoSktPFrnQvKgvUSmUjXUCtBI4QTZYYl_hSNWJSH-WlYGRD99fX_cjX8YnDbtPE44a6iz_dVIIW_NblLl0BuIxG3ek0NDBwreuYYJmFTb0Kevs1uHF3DOA1H6AVZSI1pfE0Pw/s320/ceramic+red+ginkgo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494179333643600498" /><br /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">The field tiles will have a cupped structure inspired by the ginkgo leaf.

The kiln will be available to us until the last two weeks of class. So in order to have time to create test tiles and produce the number of tiles needed, we will first create the tiles and then construct the roof. We have been fairly conservative in estimating our time for fabrication, which has given us some room to shift deadlines as needed.

Most pools are dry for at least part of the year and fill with the winter rains or snowmelt. This habitat relates to the infiltration pits featured in our stormwater management system. Like a vernal pool, the level of moisture present will vary dramatically throughout the year, however standing water will not occur.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">Flora: Vernal pools are home to many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemism"><span style="text-decoration: none;">endemic</span></a> species because of the unique environmental <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_niche"><span style="text-decoration: none;">niches</span></a> created. Different species are suited to different moisture levels, and as water evaporates from the edges of a pool, rings of flowers blossom around it. The color patterns change as the wet season wears on.

building materials, and other living systems. This learning garden is a continuous work in progress. The site consists of gardens, an outdoor classroom, a kiln shed, and the potting shed. The potting shed is one of two stormwater installation sites the <i>Urban Farm Stormwater Installation Project</i> will be tackling. The shed functions as a storage, planting, and harvest preparation space. Currently, no stormwater management system is in place. Rainwater falls from the roof onto the puddle-ridden, muddy ground below, rendering the partially covered preparation space unusable. The second site, a small open-air storage shed used by the Ceramics department, suffers from a similar problem. Gutters are installed, however there are no downspouts so water puddles in the storage space below.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times New Roman; min-height: 15.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Times New Roman"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><b>Design Concept Statement:</b> The <i>Urban Farm Stormwater Installation Project</i> consists of two thematically linked, small-scale design proposals for the redirection of stormwater at two locations on the site of the Urban Farm. The primary intent of these two proposals is to reconsider the movement of stormwater from rooftop surfaces to the ground within the broader context of horticultural building systems. The secondary intent is to alter the way in which visitors to the Urban Farm perceive building stormwater management. Both proposals are intentionally playful, as delight and discovery are important elements of any educational design installation. They explore the potential of moving and cleansing stormwater through vertical garden-downspout hybrid forms and infiltration beds in a way that reveals the processes involved in transitioning the stormwater from rooftop to water table. </span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859822955075023952.post-13669121923977475342010-07-06T17:17:00.000-07:002010-07-15T12:20:56.807-07:00Urban Farm Project - Vanessa Nevers + Eva Peterson<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjYbDEoBH2ufgJF-gols7rU86K9_IK1o4lWkXHfIiZin-tumDnjr7vaTcfZ5p1Lo1jFzd0wWnMnYDB7TXOKHImJHyZjrqthi-cfgFJ6GpQ_wnPvikpl1xrViXEELM8hYuArUSw7NrfWBg/s1600/strmwter+fence+installation.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;
