A WOODEN BOAT BUILDING SCHOOL

01 The Wooden Boat Building School would be located in a town in Brooklin Maine. It is situated on a peninsula that juts out into Blue Hill Bay and is across Eggemoggin Reach from Little Deer Isle.

It’s a very low populated town with only 857 people as of 2020. The town is very well known for having a boat building school that is near the coast line. The students that attend range from a variety of ages; from young adults to seniors. The area is heavily vegetated with trees and intertwined with dirt path roadways. When you interact with the outside space it feels like you are a part of the outdoors.

Inorder to fulfill the essence of a wooden boat building school; the building integrates a sense of connection between spaces would connect the workers with the visitors. The conceptual idea was to connect floating objects by anchoring to the dock and joining those objects together. Creating this wooden dock would mimic the idea of a boat launch. Therefore having objects around the dock would idealize the idea of smaller boats as buildings.

7 The Wooden Boat Building School is held by mass timber construction. The thickness of each vertical and horizontal beam is 10’’ thick. The dock is structurally held by a series of pillars that mimic a real life boat dock. Individual footings are placed beneath each intersection of mass timber for support.

The roofing material is standing seam copper that gives a ribbed like effect to the building also mimicking a wooden boat structure.

NUBIAN SQUARE PERFORMANCE THEATRE

“The Duet” Section Perspective

02

The Nubian Square Performance Theatre would be located near Roxbury in Boston MA. It is focused on the idea of two intersecting volumes that combine to form a “duet”. A duet in music is a way to express the artist’s chemistry through their music.

Jon and Willie, our studio clients are artists that are known to collaborate with one another.

They are translated through the connection of volumes to form the main theatre space. The theatre space represents the “duet” between the artists.

The ideas of the concept are translated through multiple parts of the building. Starting with the back garden where the community can gather before and after a watched performance. The two separate garden volumes are skewed in a way where they funnel to the main entrance.

The circulation of space between the front and back forces the community to come together as a whole. The concept of the “duet” is represented through these architectural moves.

THE “DUET” CONCEPT “The Duet” Concept Two intersecting volumes combine to form a “duet” between two different spaces. Jon and Willie are known as artists that colab with one another.

Jon and Willie, our studio's clients and inspiration are translated through the connection of spaces to create a single Harmony. That harmony is the theatre space.

1

The first form is skewed at a downward angle inorder to create seating to view the stage. The volume is meant to hold more seating with its wider mass.

3

Both of the volumes merge with one another to create a duet between spaces. This is translated through the connection of the spaces to form a joining volume.

2

The second volume is skewed at a downward angle to create seating to view the stage. This volume is evident inside the building as guidance to the main theatre due to its sloped roof.

THE “DUET” LINEWORK RENDERINGS/ LANDSCAPE

EAST BOSTON AXON & ANALYSIS

03 Transportation in East Boston can get extreemly crowded and dense. The diagram above representsareas in the city that are more or less dense. The darker blue demonstrates the more crowded areas in the city, while the lightest blue highlights low density.

Much of Boston is within a tenminute walk of a subway line, key bus route, or commuter rail station. Significant portions of East Boston, Central maverick square, Jeffries Point and Eagle-Hill continue to face long walks to rapid transit stations. Residents in these areas rely on less frequent buses or other modes to get around.

High Terrain and elevation points in Boston has influenced carbon emmisions with vehicles. The diagram shows the highest elevation points withen the area. Areas such as Eagle Hill and Jeffries Point. Exploding to the top demonstrates public transportation and density.

“HOUSE OF CARDS” & “BEIRUT TERRACES” PRECEDENT STUDY

04 The “House of Cards” project goal was to dilute the barrier between interior and exterior, make it permeable to its surroundings, and so it was designed to resemble a house of cards, one of the simplest, lightest, most transparent structures one can think of. The massing was firstly generated by a standard parking garage. The object gets pulled upward due to zoning variance and the shifting of floor plates. Slim columns were shaped to cohesively match the floor plates. The distorted columns were then influenced by the program.

The “Beirut Terraces” project goal behind ‘beirut terraces’ offers a revival urban lifestyle integrating indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The residential tower provides the platform for a vertical village where community living and sustainability are key design features. The Massing was defined of Five principles: layers and terraces, inside and outside, vegetation, views and privacy, light and identity. The result is a vertically layered building: slabs of varying sizes allow for interplay between openness and privacy that fosters flexible living between inside and outside.

A HOUSE FOR AN ARTIST AND A POET

05 02 The House for an Artist and a Poet is designed to be a home for two talented artists. Concep-tually the home’s floor levels are staggered to create a rhythm through the house to meet a main studio space. The home is configured in a way where both artists have room for col-laboration. Balconies in the home overlap one another inorder to accomplish a conversational aspect for the artists.

The main studio space above is a sunken down volume that is distorted in the home. Materials such as wooden slats across the floor levels accommodate the concept of rhythm. The skylight is brought in to capture different scenes of shadows inside the home.

EXTERIOR RENDER RENDER EXTERIOR MISSIONHILL YOUTH + COMUNITY CENTER

06 04 The Mission Hill Youth and Community Center is a building that would bring the community of Mission Hill in one place for afternoon classes and activities. Looking specifically at the topog-raphy of the land. The building is situated on 10 foot topography lines. The idea was to have the building run with the topography of the land to inorder to capture the experience of Mission Hill.

To identify the concept of topography; the building’s massing consists of terracing and shifted levels. To improve the concept the use of ramping was included through the community center as a way to mimic topography. As the ramping improved the concept it also provided a source of egress for the people that utilize the building.
