BESTON-BOSTON Year: Fall 2023 Software: Rhino, Illustrator , Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Photoshop, MadMapper, 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, CNC, UV Printing Team: Hulen Howard, Isaac McCalip, Adam Romero, Hank Traxel & Aaron Wagnitz Award: Baumiller Prize Winner Located in a period of contextual transformation, our project aims to navigate intersecting trajectories of space. Viewed as a bridge between two significant parts of Boston, it strives to connect the existing fabric of the city with the future developments happening in Seaport and beyond. Our strategy is to create a place that announces this new district as culturally significant and relevant
to the greater history of Boston and its citizens. Located directly above I-90, the highway is utilized as a dramatic component of our structural composition and development strategy. I-90 is acknowledged as an unavoidable and influential presence of the city fabric and serves as a catalyst for energizing engagement. Transportation then is a key element of our proposal, providing new ways for
citizens to interact with the built environment and for introducing new ideas about public space. This area has a rich history of cultural and artistic significance, and we believe it is crucial that this space service the continuation of that presence. Our proposal acts as a spectacular backdrop for the community, fostering creativity and collaboration to continue the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Boston.

tubular steel structure skeleton
To create open forms and spaces by exposing the structural skeleton. These spaces turn flexible through the rearrangement of elements as the community and people adjust their environment as needed. The bottom level is only left with a grass surface to make way for a wide variety of community uses and interactions. Circulation devices such as stairs, ramps, and a slide allow guests to easily circulate through the structure. The east facade allows vertical and horizontal movement, taking advantage of views above and below cimarron plaza, offering a take of cimarron.

Milan is seen as a capital of the world and a true centerpiece for Italy. In the same way, this stadium is an impression on Italy’s Seria A and the sport of soccer around the world. Galileo, a famous Italian scientist, studied space and discovered that the galaxy is made up of a collection of stars, seen imperfectly put together to create a system beyound our atmosphere throught further discovery of
crater’s on the moon. Galileo’s discoveries changed human’s perception of space into the future. The stadium is organized based off the structure and layering of a soccer ball, similarly to planets in our Solar System. Structure, seating, program, and the pitch play an important role in the atmosphere and spirit of the sport. This stadium is a symbol of Italy’s innovation, bringing together past
discoveries and connecting them to the future. Through design, fans will enter an experiential space reflecting a night sky, reminding them of Galileo’s fundamental discovery that kept Italy moving forward throughout time. This stadium will stand as a landmark to the world, reflecting Italy’s impact on innovation and science on humankind.

Printers are the nemesis of architecture students. We all have firsthand interactions with printers through the paper jams, misprints, and making “peace” with the error messages. Yet, we simply ignore the benefits or successes we have with the printers. We don’t consider the performance, but instead lean towards the experience. I want to explore the patterns of use and emotional responses towards the printers.
