nighttime experience amongst the rods

“ S w a y ’d ” I n s t a l l a t i o n
In its essence, the installation’s seemingly unorchestrated subtle movements are reminiscent of a
field of grass or trees reacting to the wind. Although
each rod sways independently to its own rhythm, each
individual rod maintains harmony with the whole; all
swaying together in a symphony orchestrated by the
supple forces of nature - no one part more important
than the whole.

PROCESS
The rods are aligned on a thirty-inch-square grid,
representative of the urban layout of Salt Lake City
and surrounding areas. Individual rods created out of
moly-filled nylon pitch themselves over ten feet into
the air to create a defined but open space. Although
each rod is very thin, one inch in diameter, the nylon
composition provides resistance without hindering
motion. For ground support, each rod is cemented
into a concrete footing with minimal disturbance to
the site. The sharp rays of sunlight cast hard shadows
that are diffused on the gravel floor. Nighttime lighting
is provided from security floodlights on the theatre
wall and street lamps lining the walkways.
Because of the tight spacing between rods, adults will
likely be required to slowly meander through the site
while children will enjoy running around brushing the
rods. All observers will be able to take an active role
creating the movements by pressing against the rods
and watching them undulate in diminishing reactive
movements. The creative movements have been
sway’d.

“Spiraling Ice” Sculpture
The Salt Lake City Downtown Alliance holds an annual
competition for art installations to be created and
exhibited during the city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The theme for the competition was “light and motion
through time.” Out of ten entries, “Spiraling Ice” was
one of three chosen. The installations were on display
in downtown’s Gallivan Plaza for three nights during
the “Eve Celebration.”
The concept was to allow people to walk through
the installation and to literally experience “light and
motion through time.” At the time we created our
concept model, we were unsure how to construct it.
The possibility of overturning because of the height of
the sculpture was the main issue. After researching
different methods for construction, we decided to use
a strong inner skeletal system wrapped with a skin
to create the spirals. Three-quarter-inch electrical
conduit was the perfect choice for the skeleton as
this afforded us the ability to bend and shape the basic
frame to create the spiraling shapes. The spirals were
each anchored by 100-pound concrete bases. We
attached poultry netting to the skeleton to create the
frames around which lights were wrapped in random
patterns - 5000 lights in total. Lastly, we used large
bubble wrap to create a “sleeve” for the spirals and
taped the seams closed with packaging tape. The final
result was better than we anticipated.

“Seven-Layered Plaza”
The goal was to create a dynamic space that students
could inhabit and manipulate to suit their momentary
needs. We devised a seven-layered concept to include
such things as mobile food vendors and ungrounded
seats and benches. Unique and flexible foam cube
furniture personalizes and divides the space on the
plaza, bringing the scale down to human needs and
perception. Large concrete graphics, additional trees,
and simple metal louver kites add the other necessary
elements to the design. Circulation at the entrance to
the library is improved by relocating the bike racks to
the perimeter of the planters in the plaza.

re-imagined bike racks
The proposed design allows the new Marriott Library
Plaza to become a multi-purpose area. Its primary
purpose is everyday campus use, including socializing,
relaxing, eating, and alternative outdoor study space.
The plaza can also be used for many different activities,
during different times, and for diverse events, such as
in the summertime, at night, for concerts, etc.
*Though not an actual design/build competition, our
team was still required to research and formulate
actual construction methods for the project. We met
with engineers, maintenance workers, suppliers, and
manufacturers.

I have been fascinated with design in its many applications, and seeing what others are able to create in web
design, I decided to learn some scripting languages. I was given further incentive during a design thinking class
assignment. I decided to create my own web page, www.daniellyman.com, and begin to work through the
design process to achieve the best final result. Since that first version, I have rewritten the script as content
needs require. I have also designed various other sites for businesses, family interest groups, and other
personal web pages.

I decided to further enhance my skills in the construction industry by purchasing a dilapidated home to
remodel and sell for profit. Working with some of my fellow classmates, we designed all aspects of the
remodel from major color decisions to the re-arrangement of walls to open the floor plan. The complete
process took only two months, and our knowledge of design theories, material uses, and construction
methods were all significantly enhanced.

interpretations of [our] on-site/overnight visit to
the Salt Flats to develop an architecture that is
appropriate and ethically responsible.”
To better understand the vastness of the salt flats, I
explored the area walking, biking, and driving as fast
as my vehicle would allow. I also took a panoramic
photograph in an attempt to capture the magnificence
to bring back to the studio.
A particular and peculiar object that struck me was
the racing stripes laid down for the drivers - a small
line no more than 8 inches wide and stretching for
miles. Understanding this narrow line as it vanished
into the distance proved difficult because of the utter
vastness that surrounded me. It appeared to me that
the only link to reality for a racer would be the racing
stripe, and the Racers’ Retreat sought to resemble
this perfectly familiar object.

The Racers’ Retreat utilizes the same vanishing lines
from all directions - as though the building trails off
into the distance. Designed as a residence, sculptural
element, and gathering spot, the Retreat becomes the
interim stop between races.

Residing Within the Desert
The desert is replete with opposites - light and dark,
day and night, extreme heat and extreme cold. A
singularity that plays a major role in these opposites
is the sun. During the night, all light has dissipated,
leaving only the stars to provide light and the cold
emptiness to permeate. During the day, the sharp rays
of sunlight create crisp shadows on the desert floor.
Designing a residence in this extreme climate posed
a formidable challenge. To mitigate the extremes in
temperature, a thick thermal mass wall was placed
around the perimeter, consisting of two materials
- C.M.U.’s and concrete. Thermal massing was
continued into the floor. Several sizes and shapes
of glazing were utilized. Tall, thin glass sheets were
placed at specific overlapping walls to create the
illusion of disappearing boundaries.

PROCESS
Orientation of the residence was vital in order to
maximize utility within specific spaces. The rising sun
brings light into the sleeping quarters, exercise room
and kitchen to awaken the family. The mid-day sun
passes over the house, beginning to heat the thermal
masses. The afternoon sun brings light into the office,
entry, and dining area. The fenestrations in these areas
are specifically sized for the function of each space half wall of glazing in the office for diversity of space,
and punched squares in the entry for dynamic shadow
casting across the floor.

Downtown Cultural Hub
The new Los Angeles Community Center becomes
the starting point for the downtown cultural scene
by offering ticketing spaces, information stations and
being strategically positioned on the corner of Grand
Avenue and First Street, across from the Disney
Concert Hall.
The form of the community center is developed from
a cube consisting of three layers. The bottom layer
has been carved through by the circulation paths
which lead through the center. The middle layer was
removed entirely to provide garden-top vistas for
relaxing during a busy workday. The uppermost layer
has been “shattered” and the pieces shift out towards
the city. This layer becomes the shell of the canopy,
covering everything under it.

Additional spaces include a small outdoor
performance space, a gallery/exhibit area, and a bistro.

The disciplines of film and architecture are scripted
by parallel elements: concept, emotion, plot, story,
structure, rhythm, light, vocabulary and journey. The
Salt Lake Film Center’s concept is a derivation of
these themes as well as research, client needs, and site
analysis. The Soviet Montage Theory by Eisenstein
states that “montage is an idea that arises from
the collision of independent shots” wherein “each
sequential element is perceived not next to the other,
but on top of the other” giving form to the L-shaped
tower containing the auxiliary functions. The film
houses are separated from one another as a literal
iteration of independent films.
figure ground of surrounding area
The tower was designed to be expandable to suit
future needs of the film community. The open-air
catwalk is placed within the complex so as to afford
views into the central space where all filming activity
culminates.
The interior space contains six film houses of varying
seating capacities, pre-show and post-show spaces,
an outdoor screening area, and lounging areas for
discussion and education. Pre- and post-show spaces
were designed to follow the circulation from the
entrances to the exits of the film houses.
The film center will strive to educate and inform the
public, broaden points of view, entertain the audience,
and allow for the expression of emotional reactions.
