1110 POYDRAS STREET ACADEMIC TERM: INTEGRATED STUDIO | SPRING 2022 PROFESSOR: MATT DECOTIIS TYPE: OFFICES SITE: NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
Located in the heart of the Central Business District in New Orleans, 1110 Poydras Street aims to bring people from the street through the project as well as to provide offices for a co-working office. The site, originally a parking lot, creates a blank canvas to create endless possibilities. One of the main focuses for the form of the project is circulation. Analyzing circulation both in and around the site (whether that be by foot, car, or bike) allows the project to take on a hierarchy that informs many decisions made throughout the design process. A public plaza is created at the ground floor which enforces the hierarchy of circulation.
The project contains 3 masses that are connected by exterior walkways. These walkways create large spaces for co-working, social acitivites, and communication between masses as well as providing the transition between exterior and interior to be blurred. The project also houses a large auditorium that can be used for private events as well as be used by the office.
The project was first wrapped in a skin facade uniting the 3 masses together.

WRAP PUSH PULL
The facade was then pulled up at special moments establishing a hierarchy of circulation as well as creating a connection between the plaza and the street.
The facade was pushed back to help break down the scale and respond to the surronding context.

COLLECTIVE HOUSING ACADEMIC TERM: COLLECTIVE HOUSING STUDIO | SPRING 2020 PROFESSOR: ANDREA BARDON DE TENA TYPE: HOUSING COMMUNITY SITE: NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
Located in Uptown New Orleans, this collective housing design aims to bring people of all walks of life together through central outdoor spaces. The design of the community links linear narrow forms organized by typology with a shared elevated promenade. The urban block houses 60 units with three varying typologies that followed the square footage requirement given.
Highlighting the existing urban grid sparks the form and orientation of the project. The community is encour aged to interact in a variety of outdoor spaces which allows the linear promenade to become a point of social ization and interaction. The green spaces are rhythmically separated by the enclosed buildings allowing specific program to occur here.
The ground floor is composed of mixed outdoor and indoor spaces for both the public and the residents. Public programming is located closest to the street while more private programming is contained on the insides of the block.

Located in the business district of Kansas City, the District 33 Community Center aims to become a transition hub to the surrounding areas and an important connection to the neighboring community. Finding ways to link the different divides of Kansas City then led the research in the direction of early childhood development and how architecture can be used to create an integrated environment to address these needs. The research high lighting the disparities in the Kansas City School education system highlighted the need for an early childhood education and development center. This community center would not only allow schools to take advantage of the center but also as the site is located in the Central Business District, it would allow working parents a place to get reinforcement in their child’s learning.

The form was created by a simple box which becomes an anchor point for the community.
Three double height spaces were extracted with program focusing on different stages in development.
An atrium was created allowing a continuous connection between all levels and spaces.
The wet zones and circulation cores are placed off of the central circulation.

The horizontal home highlights the linear circulation along with the sliding glass doors. The sliding glass doors allow both cross ventilation along with the transition between public and private space to blur. The service spine runs along the front part of the house which highlights the division between wet and dry spaces.

Objective: Design a 5 story minimum vertical habitat with a total area of 1200 square feet, and a footprint of 220 square feet.
The vertical home is designed for college students. The stair core is the main vertical axis of the house. It is shifted slightly to the right, highlighting the importance of private spaces. The alternating 1/2 floors allow conversation to occur both inside and outside.

The sectional home emphasizes views between different floors internally. The void that occurs in the middle of the home creates a 4 story height space which allows for views from every floor down into the center of the house.

JEFFERSON ISLAND ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER ACADEMIC TERM: SITE STUDIO | FALL 2020 PROFESSOR: CORDULA ROSER GRAY TYPE: ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH CENTER SITE: LAKE PEIGNUR, LOUISIANA
The design process started with analyzing Lake Peigneur which is located on Jefferson Island in Louisi ana. The extraction of resources such as gas, oil, and sulfur occurred at the site until 1980. The drilling wells that were a product of these extractions both physically and metaphorically punctured the site of Jefferson Island. The abundance and scale of the extraction wells became apparent when diagramming the lake itself. Both the history and development of Lake Peigneur were important to understand and analyze before starting the initial design process. More specifically, the understanding of the drilling incident that occurred in 1980 which caused a shift in the coastline.
The building itself becomes a manifestation of the coastline as it is holding the coast back but also reminds the viewers of the current coastline and its history. The deck deforms the landscape and coastline but also provides views to different key areas surrounding Lake Peigneur. The converging deck spaces along with the posts that puncture both the interior and exterior spaces encourage the viewer to meander and explore the posts. This allows the posts themselves to be an exhibition. While the drill wells don’t exist anymore, the structural posts represent them in a more abstract way. A tectonic relationship is formed between the building and the ground through the delicate raising of the building which reveals the connection between post and ground. Through the structural system and angles of both the building and the deck, the vulnerability of the land is represented and a sense of meandering and wondering is created.
