The Houseboat to Energy Efficient Residences (HBEER) project designs with goals of low-cost housing and energy efficiency. The studio developed prototypes of manufactured housing units that are energy efficient, deployable to multiple sites, cost under $100,000, and can be operated / lived in with a budget of $1 a day. Ultimately, it is hoped that these units will supplant existing energy ineffi-cient mobile homes. The studio directive was to retool and redirect Kentucky's houseboat manufacturing industry, which had been deci-mated by the recent economic downturn in 2007-08. Most houseboat manufacturing facilities in the four-county-area in southern Kentucky have ceased operation or drastically reduced output, producing dramatic, long-term job loss. The project will design energy-efficient, low-income housing units to be manufactured in the houseboat construction facili-ties using local re-trained work-ers. Ultimately, the project will produce energy-efficient hous-ing benefitting Kentuckians.

ETER
The site chosen was the Vogt Manufacturing Site in Louisville, Kentucky. The area is close to the University of Lousiville and an ecclectic area of the city known as “Old Louisville”. We felt that the presence of low cost housing available near a university would provide the opportunity for leasing and purchasing these proposed low-cost residences and would provide students and graduate students of UofL the ability to reside in affordable housing near campus. We deployed a system of 1 and 2 bedroom units that are aggra-gated back to back. Our design became based around the wrapping and suspension of a cube (or cubes in the 2 bedroom iteration of the design). We attempted to provide as much glass in the units as possible with heating and cooling in mind.

HENDERSON IS AT THE CENTER OF MANY FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION
The HMPL 1 Project began as a part of the University of Ken-tucky College of Design’s River Cities Project. Building on relationships between cities along the Ohio River in Ken-tucky, the College of Design began investigating grassroots efforts among citizens in medium to large cities and towns. The Henderson Munici-pal Power and Lighting Plant #1 (HMPL 1) is a dormant power plant located in downtown Hen-derson, Kentucky. Throughout our site visits and analysis of the city of Henderson and HMPL 1, we found an opportu-nity to create a public venue which also housed a research lab within the existing HMPL 1 structure. Henderson, Kentucky is situated at a bend on the Ohio River just south of Evansville, Indiana. The proximity to the larger city of Evansville has dampered the ability for Hen-derson to attract business and vitality back to the city. We studied the 2.5 mile long ‘River Walk” that is currently being expanded in Henderson and sought to connect it with our
site which is situated along the river and currently interrupts the 2.5 mile walk. The public excitement surrounding this project was apparent. We were able to visit the interior of the structure and give a presentation to commu-nity members there about our research and development of HMPL 1. We sought to enable the programming of the site and landscape surrounding the building to draw people from not only Henderson, but also neighboring Evansville to the city to create a vibrant atmo-sphere that would foster busi-ness.

The site chosen is the intersti-tial space between downtown Lexington and the University of Kentucky campus. Currently, the two entities turn their backs on one another, rather than taking advantage of the oppor-tunities provided of what the adjacency has to offer. The ‘mental block’ that is present between the two (among students and residents of Lexington) further enhances the divide that exists.Among the problems that face both entities, is the issue of student housing. Where can students fit in and how do they affect (positively and nega-tively) the areas in which they reside? The area immediately adjacent to campus has histori-cally been occupied with students of the university, thus creating a deteriorating envi-ronment there. This is not ben-eficial for the city or the univer-sity. Because students who attend the University of Ken-tucky wish to live near campus, they choose to live in sub-standard apartments. This, however, is not the solution.

The site of our proposal is a prime location to not only bridge the gap between the university and downtown, but also provide students with the opportunity to access campus and downtown. We imagine our site to be an extension of the university toward the city. We want to create a new community that can act as other thriving campus communities do (such as the Medical campus, the south campus residence hall complexes, and the Greek hous-ing units). Rather than fabricat-ing an isolated area, we are simply developing another com-munity that can work as one, but also can affect the surrounding environment and fuse people from the city and the university together in unique situations.

PADUCAH GASEOUS DIFFUSION PLANT (PGDP) COMPOSE A WELL- FORMED PROBLEM
PADUCAH
CATOMI ITYThe project took place as part of a series which developed over several years. Our team focused on the analysis of Paducah, Kentucky and the effect that the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant has had in the past and will have in the future on the city. We analyzed 8 other cities with similar production plants and contamination in place. We looked at the economy, environment, educational system, and the energy resources of each city and developed a course of solution that each city could take to recovery. Our analysis was part of a 9 step process to recovery that dealt with observation, rebuilding the economy, developing the site for future use, and remediation of the contamination present in the groundwater.
The Manhattan Project, a research and development program led by the United States with participation from the United Kingdom and Canada, began in 1939 with the Einstein-Szilard letter to Presi-dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. The letter warned of the potential development of “extremely powerful bombs of a new type.” It urged the United States to accelerate their research into nuclear chain reactions. In a few short months, the Manhattan Project grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost US$2 billion (roughly equivalent to $24.4 billion as of 2011). 90% of the total cost went toward building the factories and producing the fissionable mate-rials, with less than 10% for development and production of weapons. Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Ultimately, the research led to the develop-ment of two different types of atomic bombs which were used on Japan and led to their surrender.

ANALYZE & DRAWRELATIONSHIPS
The wheel diagram shows relationships between the nine case study cities in education, environment, energy, and education. The cities are located on the graph based on the timing of the construction of their nuclear or hazardous facility and based on the size of the groundwater contamination
present below the facilities.
COLLABORATE & LEARN FROMOTHER CITIES
An autocatalytic community is one that
has successfully been developed in
Education, Economy, Environment,
and Energy. By using these four
themes to evaluate a community, there
is a thorough understanding of the
opportunities and challenges each
community faces. Assessing multiple
communities in this manner estab-
lishes comparisons and relationships
between them. This in turn, allows
communities to learn from each other
and become a single global commu-
nity.

ENVIRONMENT
A healthy community relies on a
healthy environment.
ENERGY

ECONOMY
Growth occurs through supply and

RESEARCH METHODS | HISTORY OF THE PROJECT
Due to the government intervention in these cities, employment rates drastically increased and the opportunities available for citizens rose. In comparing the scale of activity of the government during these times to the activity of the government solving the modern problems stemming from their actions in the 1900s, there is a discrepancy in progress. The
United States should unite against a common enemy now (contamination, safety, and environmental quality) as officials did then (a foreign power). In doing so, this could solve many of the issues that the 9 case study cities are facing (energy use, environmental quality, educational attainment, and economic crises).

The Bereavement Center Proj-ect was a dual project in conjunction with St. Elizabeth’s Northern Kentucky Hospital. The task was to provide a space where the bereaved could congregate and coexist. the space was to house children, adults, and seniors while providing them with means of coping with the loss of a loved one. The form and building we developed came about by the exploration of the “design model” technique. Instead of working with known models, we collaborated and produced our own model to design from. We were then placed into groups and we combined the models for optimum use. Progressing from the models, we used the form to begin dividing spaces and the idea to devlop the concept of our building. We intended to sepa
rate adult and child grieving, provide spaces for public lectures / discussions, institute a developmental library, house a cafe, and provide office space for staff and administration. The project was presented to the St. Elizabeth Hospital’s staff at a conference / presen-tation that took place near the end of the semester. Their interest was creating a public reaction to ensure funding for this project and potentially realize one of the University of Kentucky’s class designs.

This branch of the River Cities Project dealt with the existing Granary site location just south of the city of Henderson, Ken-tuky. The granary’s closing was of some speculation so the proposal dealt with a way to attract more visitors to the city of Henderson. The site is located on the Ohio River waterfront which provided ample opportunities for inter-action and engagement with water traffic. The proposal of the aquarium program came about after research into major attractors in cities across the nation. We found other cities similar to that of Henderson and showed the relationship of their aquari-ums with those in close prox-imity. We found that Henderson has no full aquariums closer than 3 hours driving distance from the city. The form of the project devel-oped after the aquarium proposal was realized. We sought to blend the structure into the ground and create a relationship between the
housing neighborhoods adja-cent to the granary silos. We split the three aquarium programs into three separate buildings and sought to provide a circulation connection between them. We cut through the silos to allow for circulation to begin and end based on the entrance and to divide the silos into public and private zones of space. The form near the river was sunk into the ground to allow for the existing 2.5 mile riverwalk to continue on top of the structure and lead to an ending at the entrance of the aquarium.

The project was part of a work-shop series at the University of Kentucky with University of Michigan professor Adam Fure. The team explored the hybrid-ization of materials to attempt to create a new dialogue which would uncover a new material concept. The “translation” of the materials into a new form resulted in multiple iterations of techniques which ensued an installation architectural design. Creating the scheme was a result of collaboration with five individuals considering hanging techniques, color, texture, lighting, and overall spatial qualities. The workshop took place during a weekend workshop where three teams created individual ideas of pattern - making an materiality techniques. The workshop focused on fabrication possi-bilities and the changing dynamic of what architecture is and will become in the future.

The series focused on exploring the relationship of modules. Investigating the process of constructing, we developed 3 patterns and assigned each facing side of a single cube one. Using extrusion and boolean methods, we created a cube from a pattern structure. We then divided each module that would make up the pattern structure and extracted each from the digital fabrication model. The experiment in field-ing the modules created 261 individual and unique pallettes which were combined to form the structure of the orgininal cube.

Focusing on translating ink drawings to digital form and ultimately realized built form, we explored techniques of over-lapping programs to create optimal visual results. We took ink drawings into digital programs, altered them and fabricated a 3-dimensional surface. This process took part in under a larger exploration by Clark Thenhaus and his studies with “endemic architecture” and storytelling through archi-tecture. The goal was to use multiple programs collabora-tively to realize the alterations possible with each.
