The site is a granite quarry located in Vermont, the idea for the program is to create a community around the quarry using the natural properties of the site to enhance the abilities & talents of the artists. Spreading out the program around the site enables to fill up the abandon quarry, and with it, bring back the interaction between people to the natural world. The cantilevered structures that greet the contour of the southern edge of the quarry is an attempt to provide minimal destruction to the landscape and allow most studios to receive the soft sunlight coming from the north. Each studio is designed with skylights that stretch the ability to experience the different weather conditions of the site through the curved form that allows different elements to glide down the roof and reduce heavy loads on the roof.

Pavilion

The educational pavilion is meeting the gentle slope of the stone which serves as a ramp down to its entrance. Inhabitants are able to experience different settings the weather brings through the skylights that address the circular roof and let different elements slide off of it. The lower level is delivered with an opening to the west elevation that allows for the prevailing winds to ventilate the space during the summer time.

Literature Studio The literature studio is isolated from the rest of the community to avoid interruption of loud noises. It is elevated 5 feet off the ground allowing 360 views to the landscape, telling the story of the place. Its walls are not parallel to each other and at the same time follow a ratio formula (1 x 1.4 x 1.9) of H x W x L which minimize sound reflection in the rooms.

Performing Arts Studio The Performing Arts studio is implying movement in its form where at different weather conditions one can visually perceive the gesture of movement through the different natural elements that are falling on top on the roof. The bridge spanning across from the literature studio is going through the performing arts studio leading down to the residences, landscape, and visual studios.

Campos dos Jordaos•Brazil Design IX • Fall 2011 University of Miami School of Architecture

A house located on difficult topography not far from the city of Sao Paulo. The structure cantilevers off an existing hill and encapsulates the views of the lake and the valley. The house orientation produces a sequence of spatial moments by manipulating the eastern and western sunlight. A system of louvers coats the kitchen and stairway and creates a linear shadow on the floor - device which reveals a sense of movement and time; the living room and the bedrooms are wrapped with dimmer light for a relaxed atmosphere.

Design IX • Fall 2011 University of Miami School of Architecture

Audubon Terrace is a historic landmark situated on 156th Street & Broadway in Upper Manhattan. The project is the result of the demolition of the current school and the client’s desire to build a Hispanic Cultural Center. The terrace is accessed through a courtyard without a direct connection to the existing building - due to a slight topography change on the site. The new Cultural Center provides a green courtyard which addresses the existing one on the same floor; the circulation space is designed around a new tree. Solar panels provide 20% of the total building energy. Natural ventilation completes the repertoire of environmental devices; a massive screen, slanted toward the street, catches the wind forces coming from the ocean on the NE of the site.

Trastevere Masterplan Trastevere, Rome•Italy Design VII • Fall 2010 University of Miami School of Architecture

32

A collaborative master plan executed with members of University of Miami Rome Program. The mini-charrette project site was located between two bridges on the Trastevere side: Pointe Sisto & Ponte Palatino/Ponte Rotto. The project focuses on the production of ephemeral summer structures along the embankments of the Tevere River. The master plan includes the reconnection of the two river sides by means of new bridges, restaurant pavilions, coffee shops, elevators, stairway, and market hallsl spread along the river. The ephemeral structures may be removed during the winter time while the permanent infrastructure remains as an art piece in the public spaces of the city.

33

34

Ve r t i c a l C i r c u l a t i o n The elevator provides a vertical movement solution to the existing pedestrian traffic on roads leading to the Coliseum. A metal sheet covers the floodwall and articulates the linear halls with a 20 – 30 foot high module; this device allows for natural sunlight.

35

36

Cofee Shops The coffee shops are a series of cantilevered structure that can be easily taken apart when the water level rises in the embankments. The metal sheets that attach to the trusses and essentially act as the walls of the coffee shops are articulated with series of linear openings allowing natural sunlight to penetrate in the structure and act as visual elements defining the space inside through the different light/shadows.

P e d e s t r i a n Vico Equense, Napoli•Italy Design VII • Fall 2010 University of Miami School of Architecture

38

B r i d g e

This project is one amongst many collaborative master plans executed, with members of the Castellamare Stabbie Archaeological Group, at the University of Maryland in Italy. The design charette focuses on a small coastal town called Vico Equense. The project’s intention was the exploitation of the historic landscape for as a means for cultural and agro-cultural entertainment. The proposed bridge was one of approximately 15 interventions along an old Greco-Roman road. It connects an old Roman suburb with a previous Greek polis at the top of a mountain.

The rhythm steel rods imitate, in an almost mimetic form, the geometries of the surrounding mountains, cloud infested skies, and trees surrounding the site. The river streams under the bridge only during the summer time; during the winter, it gets completely dry. The railing was inspired by the “Austin Texas Bridge� designed by Miro Rivera.

Cavanelas Residence Study Rio de Janeiro•Brazil Design VII • Fall 2010 University of Miami School of Architecture By: Oscar Niemeyer

A case study of a house originally designed by Oscar Niemeyer, in Brazil, with collaborative landscapes by Roberto Burle Marx; the roof overhangs beyond the exterior walls; it creates shady terraces over the carport and along its longer axis. Niemeyer used curtain walls to provide an undisruptive view to the valley, mountains, and beyond. Two free-standing stonewalls act as a divider between the private and public space. The divider wall extends to the garden and links the interior and the exterior landscape -designed by Roberto Burle Marx. The garden sets the house in frame between its organic and rectilinear shape; one could say that it blurs the lines between cubist European modern architecture (artifice/fake) and modernism in Brazil (nature).
