The main concept of this project was conservation. There were many example projects to choose from, but our group decided to develop a unit that locks into a gutter system of a house and turns running rainwater into mechanical energy by spinning a turbine and ultimately to electrical energy by powering an attached motor. The energy was then able to be stored in batteries and saved for later use.

Industrial House
The Industrial house is comprised of a bottom floor with lofted second floor and a bedroom on the roof level. It is structurally made up of HSS tubes connected by I-beams and has complete moment connections to resist lateral forces. HSS Tubes were chosen to complement the industrial nature of the building.

Agris House
Agris house is comprised of a distinct longitudinal and linear outhouse fused to a rectilinear and diagonal dwelling. The building consists of three stories of living space and an in door swimming pool. It features a lateral system at its core which utilizes moment connections and resists torsion due to wind and seismic considerations.

Bronx School Canopy
This canopy spans a total of 28 feet with outriggers spaced 6 feet apart that cantilever 6 feet outwards. The cantilever is a T shape steel section which supports glass. These T sections are anchored by a HSS tube 16×16 which takes bending and torsion.
