Uruguay
Today was our flight from Santiago, Chile, to Montevideo, Uruguay. Another trip over the Andes Mountains, and I'm STILL IMPRESSED. Understatement of the year. They're fantastic. Unlike the smelly man I had the pleasure of sitting next to...
ANYWAYS. Two hours and a short bus ride later, we arrived at our hostel, Che Lagarto. It was a beautiful building in la Plaza Independencia, that was a few blocks from the water. The historical building however, did not have heat. Yes, that is a problem in June... it's winter here. Very much worth the cold. So beautiful and our room overlooked the plaza.
Once we were settled in, we ventured around and went out as a group for dinner. We had 7 different kinds of pizza (that you buy by the meter) and shared it all. We also had fantastic dessert.

Today we toured the financial district, saw the Catholic University there, and visited the artisan market close to our hostel.
After talking to a few of the artisans at the market, I discovered that many of these people collect a variety of goods from friends and neighbors and then sell them in these booths. Other booths were couples or families that have done these trades for many years. Some worked with leather, others with a variety of fabrics, many who designed jewelery. Very interesting stuff (for fairly cheap too!)
The financial district was a bit of a hike, but the university we visited was very interesting. This particular one was only for lawyers and doctors, each with their own library. After Anna talked our way into the building, we had the opportunity to look at the recently renovated medical library.
The most interesting part of this library was the 3 story atrium (you can see it in my photos). Students sit at each level and can see all the way to the basement. This space allowed so much light to flow into all these areas. The basement held an immense table. It was so long that students frequently use it as a stage (makes it hard to study I presume...). It also held a tree. Definitely a precedence for some of my projects in the future!

No class until one! YAY Study Abroad! Still plenty of time to be a tourisimo!
Group of us ventured up to the highest point in Santiago! Sketchy trolley took us up there... being afraid of heights made it so much more fun! :-S
Once we made it and I unclenched my hands from everyone around me, the views were breathtaking! The skyline of the city, the awful new skyscraper that hovers above them all, the pocket of smog that hovers above that, and the Andes Mountains as a backdrop. OK, so these things were breathtaking for different reasons...
Skyline above the city- very interesting to compare this skyline to all the others I've seen. Seemed like a smaller scale of buildings, but I was also pretty high up in the air.
Awful new skyscraper- I need to do a little more research as to who did it and why, but rumor has it that this is supposed to be taller than the one in Dubai. While modern technology intrigues me, and allows us to do "great" things, is it really necessary? Kind of an eyesore if you ask me. I'm not impressed with how big it is...
Pocket of smog- oh my gosh this was insane. I could see it a bit from the ground, but it was clear as a Deeg diagram, the way it laid over the city. It blows my mind that as human beings, we can see oh so clearly that we're ruining what's around us, and continue to do nothing about it! We are so stubborn and stuck in the idea of what is easiest and refuse to do anything! I'm guilty of it too, but WOW, this really put it into perspective for me. Especially as it competed with the Andes...
Andes Mountains- Oh how I love thee. SO BEAUTIFUL. The city, the tower, the smog.... it all meant nothing when you looked at how the mountains just CONQUERED. It was like the city was trying to compete, or even become a part of the Mountains. The mountains refused. Too awesome on their own. All the things we make as man, just can't compete with the natural beauty around us. We can try, but 112% of the time, we lose.

Early morning today. We were tourists. Tourists in the fact that we were awake and involved in society before noon. The culture here is very different. Nothing is open until later in the after noon and very late into the evening. College town, anyone?
Our venture today took us about one hour. We viewed la Isla Negra, the town and the house of Pablo Neruda. Absolutely stunning house on the Pacific Coast. Definitely an inspiration for a house in my future! The way he captured views of the ocean and made every room in the house have a story was moving. Ready to make some big bucks as an architect and build one of my own! ;)
Today we also ventured to Valparaiso, a city on a hill. Literally. Houses were stacked on top of one another all the way up the hill. It was very interesting. Get to know your neighbors really well. Not sure how they address things...

chilly in Chile
Our first day in Santiago, was a day to get acquainted with the city. We walked around & had many discussions. The Ministry of National Defense and the plaza around it was definitely one of the more interesting sites of the day. It was interesting to see that nearly every window had an air conditioner in it. Apparently there is no central air conditioning. I found this also to be true in one of my recent research projects.
For a past history class I was observing and researching the work of Oscar Niemeyer, and from that, I found out that he was one of the first people to use an air handling unit to cool a large portion of a building. It seems that from his work a few decades ago, that has not caught on. People just prefer the window air conditioning unit?

chilly in Chile
A 22.5 lb backpack,
one flight to Atlanta,
another 4789 miles on a 767,
10 hours, and a few crying babies later,
WE MADE IT!
Attempts to fall asleep on the flight were fairly successful. I only woke up a few times! At 3 a.m. we were over Ecuador, at 5 a.m. we were just West of Peru over the Pacific, and at 7 a.m. I woke up to find the sun rising over the Andes Mountains at 37,000 feet. Absolutely stunning.
Santiago is very interesting. Definitely an up and coming city. It is definitely on the brink of something spectacular.
Our first day, we roamed the city, found a few interesting restaurants and made a few friends, our friends who were rather furry. Santiago is filled with dogs. They're on just about every corner. All of these dogs are really calm and happy. They're like community pets, everyone feeds and loves on them.
I'll post pictures soon. Today we're going to la isla negra and Valpariso. I have 20 minutes to get ready. Some things never change!

week 4
All good things must come to an end... or so they say.
This week seemed mundane in comparison to last. It consisted of many monotonous and tedious activities. A series of rafters cut at exactly the same angle, with the exact same lines, repeated over, and over, and over, and over consumed Monday as well as part of Tuesday. The rest of the week was "blocked off," so to speak.
Monday we began with figuring out roof details. We (consisting of the students & homeowner) wanted something angular. Many rafter tails consist of some sort of rounded edge, but the way this building is shaped and the way the forms fit together, it didn't call for anything like that. Once we discovered the detail that worked best for us, we had to figure in how it worked in relation to the angle of the walls and angle in relation to the ground. Thank God Buddy was there to simplify it. We over calculated and over thought it, as is the norm.
Common sense and ingenuity goes a long way.
With all the rafter tails cut, placing them was an entirely new animal. Buddy, again, was there to put his experience to work and made the job much easier. As the rafters were placed, the final two walls were assembled in place.
Multiple times this week & throughout the process, I've had the pleasure of working with Matt in discussing woodworking details that will hopefully happen in the future. After we return from South America, I will be returning and helping him with column, cabinet, and storage details, as well as custom light fixtures. Wednesday after class, Michael and I went over to the shop and Matt taught us how to create a window from scratch. It turned out really well (and level)!
The rest of the week, was as I mentioned, blocked off. Putting blocking in for these angles was SO MUCH FUN (insert angry face here). Funny how things don't turn out exactly 22" O.C. as they did when you put them in the computer. However, I did learn a lot from this process. What TO do, what NOT TO do, potential problems, and how to avoid them in the future. That's a lot of what this class has taught me.
Last day of class, unfortunately, many materials were not delivered. We did not get to finish as much as we wanted to. However, an invitation was extended to us to come back and work on it whenever we wish. After investing this much in the project, that is definitely something I'd like to do. It will be great to see something, at this scale, through from beginning to end. As I mentioned earlier, this class has taught me a lot about what to do, what not to do, and how to apply even more common sense to all projects in my future.

week 3: journals
This week left me feeling a great sense of accomplishment. With floors framed out, sub-floor added, and three walls up and framed, I felt as if I could conquer the world. Photos from this week were definitely "refrigerator material."
As soon as we got out to the job site on Monday we were rearing and ready to go. We picked up caulk and screws and got straight to business. Problem was, we were TOO ready. Unfortunately we forgot to stagger the sub-floor until it was too late. Still works. In theory. Laying out the sub-floor added to the excitement, but the building still felt rather small.
I had the privilege of framing out walls with Buddy. Its one thing to draw these on paper, but somewhere between the paper and the real world, something gets lost in translation. Turns out 16" O.C. is much more difficult than "extend line," "copy," and "duplicate." Learning from a man who has done this for 30 years definitely made this a simple crash course. Buddy foresaw problems that I would have never seen until it was absolutely too late.
Day three scared me a little bit. Up until this point, Buddy was lurking around every corner to fix all of our mistakes. Unfortunately, he had other things to attend to instead of babysitting us. However, he did lay out the largest wall on the site and left it for us to assemble. While the assembly went well, we "pencil whipped" the guy working on the windows. The wall was assembled, but forgot to calculate in an extra inch for the windows. SO, they became an inch smaller. Funny how rough openings don't translate into actual openings, don't account for warping of boards, and add all kinds of fun into the process. Somehow through this all, while Buddy was gone, we managed to throw up three walls! These walls added so much to my visualization of the building. It also added to the homeowner's ideas. He began to envision so much more for the space, and it was exciting to see that happen in front of my own eyes.
Also, this week we began to calculate materials we will need. By analyzing the elevations, we were able to decide all of the insulation, wrap, and exterior material we would need to complete the job (at a later date). By spending time with Matt, Michael and I learned a lot about re-using materials (the windows from the church, etc.).
By the end of this week, I am feeling a great sense of accomplishment. I think it should be required of students to do a design build while they are at Ball State. I've learned much more in these last few weeks by actually getting my hands dirty than I have in the last few years of my build tech class (not saying they aren't important, because they are) but definitely vital to my success in the future.

week 2: journals
Short and sweet.
Memorial Day + Sick Day(not hangover related) = two days left for intense productivity.
This week was easily the shortest studio week of my Ball State Career, however not the least productive! We did our best to cram the most into two work days. Through visiting the site, discussing materials, and getting into the schematics of framing the beast, we are moving along at a steady pace.
Wednesday was my first site visit, and as expected, Cybil was there and rearing to go! The site had already been staked out for two different options. The difference between the two was their orientation. Going back to the very beginning, we had ideas for more passive ventilation and how the sunlight would impact the site. Since this building is so small and surrounded by trees, these issues are no longer at the forefront of our minds. Because of the uniqueness of this site, it will be interesting to see how air and light truly effect this space, and we'll figure some of that out with the materials we've decided to use.
Matt has acquired a plethora of windows from an old church. Combined with his woodworking skills these windows are going to be a beautiful feature of this cabin. When many people think of using old windows, they think that they won't be very good insulators. I was informed this week that these windows were actually better insulators than the ones that replaced them (only by a few degrees, but an improvement nonetheless.)
In addition to the windows, Matt has expressed his desire to expose the roof framing. These corbeled edges will also give this cabin a little something extra, character if you will. I think it is important for the cabin to have features like this. Too many times structures lack this attention to detail and it moves away from architecture and into just throwing up buildings. Unfortunately, people don't appreciate these details like they used to. They want the cheapest thing that looks the best.
On Thursday, we divided and conquered. Some were working on wall details, framing details, others on window/door details, I had the privilege of working on the roof framing (see figure 2). We debated between 2' O.C. and 16" O.C. and the benefits of each. We assumed that Matt would want to reveal the rafters and showcase some more of his woodworking abilities. We were surprised when he was more interested in the insulating potential of the roof, but understood why he preferred it.
Working with Matt has been, in his words, "Bitchin." We have been very lucky to have a client that frequently allows us to, "do whatever you want!" or, "I don't care, whatever looks good!" I'm afraid we're being spoiled before we encounter the real world, and I'm fine with that.
