What is Architecture?

Phone: 732-710-5659

To me, public architecture is the process of designing a space specific to the area that it resides in, and it reflects the goals and needs of the people it was designed for.

Architecture allows people to come together and enjoy the company of others, as well as the world around them. It is a medium in which the designer can convey emotions to share with the rest of the world, while at the same time providing a specific purpose to the urban environment that surrounds it.

POST EARTHQUAKE ANTAKYA: RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLY TOWN BLOCK

D ES IG N I N G F O R T H E EME RGE N C Y - S HOR T T ER M On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes completely devastated many regions in Turkey and the outer portion of Syria. The southernmost region of Turkey, Hatay, suffered on an extraordinary level. 80% of the regionʼs buildings collapsed or were demolished. Over 2.6 million people were left living in AFAD tent cities, and 79,000 in container cities. The standard container unit only barely protect their inhabitants from the elements. Even worse, they provide little to no insulation, making more extreme seasonal conditions harder to endure. Also, the standard container city aims to maximize on carrying capacity, deploying row after row of metal boxes of housing, disregarding secondary spaces or outdoor landscapes for people to interact with.

Keeping this information in mind, the main goal of the project became the planning and designing of a container city layout that would be composed of not only housing units, but also double-spaced units intended to be used as marketplaces, dining halls, workshops, educational facilities, and sanitation facilities. Also, space would be designated for outdoor parks in order to provide more comfort to those who have been displaced by the earthquakes.

8

The frames of 4 units arrive to the site in 1 truck. Each frame can be unfolded and set up on site without the use of heavy machinery or tools, which is important since these resources have become more scarce in Turkey following the earthquake. Then, a variety of different panels are fit into the frame, completing the unit. By using this frame and panel system, not only do the units compress themselves down to less than 1/4 the dimensions of the standard container, but it also allows for each unit owner to customize their unit however they like. It also makes the unit more adaptive, able to alter itself depending on current climate conditions.

Freehold Light Rail Station Coming and Going - Movement To encapsulate a feeling of a journey that a train provides, my concept for the Freehold light rail station was to bring that same level of movement inside of the station itself. The hexagon skeleton holding the glass runs along the entirety of the main hall, in which every

21

public space of the building could be seen. By doing so, a shadow is cast on tion from one side to the other. I had chosen to make the skeleton that holds the glass in place to be comprised of hexagons since the shape provides a unique area. The two ends of a hexagon being slim represent the beginning (entering the station) and end (returning to the station) of a journey, one that most people living in the area will take. The larger part of the shape, being the middle, represents the station itself, in which everyone using the station will be gathered together, regardless of their ending destination.

Thomas T. Fortune Public Library Creating an environment to make learning simple.

The main function of a library is to provide resources to people of any age that will assist them in learning or discovering something new. However, the ability to learn varies from person to person- some people accel at the process and in certain fields while some struggle in others. In order to capture this idea, the concept of the new Thomas T. Fortune Library was to create a space easily traversable, where everything is accessible and in sight wherever you are. The outside holds the opposite trait, where part of the building appears as if it is flowing down to the people who enter it in an intimidating fashion. With the outside being sporadic and the inside being unified, I wanted to allude to the idea that no matter how difficult learning may be, using the resources in a library could make the porccess easier and more enjoyable.

The manditory connection to a Red Bank public school is on the second floor of the library, where the young adult’s area is located. The public entrance is at the corener of the intersection, as well as through the library’s cafe along the front of the building.

Concept Sketches I had originally approached the same concept in a different way. By creating several structures with different materials including concrete, wood, and brick, the library would appear divided and scattered on the exterior. By doing this, the goal of these drawings was to make the library look like a town in itself, where nothing on the outside seems to have a relationship, unlike the inside of the building.

Model showing the south side of the building, where the roof structure flows downward and covers the cafe. There are triangular gaps in the roof and wall to brighten the main seating area of the library.

Partner - Jared Britton Our main objective was to provide the opportunity for small entrepreneurs to flourish in Red Bank by celebrating the areaʼs different ethnic groups to attract people to the Shrewsbury neighborhood.

E Q U A L

O P P O R T U N I T Y

Southwest Red Bank is primarily composed of people of Latin American descent, and they help the area prosper with their family owned businesses spread out along Shrewsbury Ave. Over the years, this area of Red Bank have been neglected and overshadowed by the wealthier parts of the township. With our makerhood project, our goal was to express the importance of Latin American culture to the town of Red Bank. The building creates a shared space between multiple entrepreneurs while providing a central space where people can gather. Here, the diversity of Red Bank can be experienced through baked goods from around the world, specifically from several Latin American cultures.

C O N C E P T

S K E T C H E S

We wanted an open sight line from the busy intersection into the seating area that enables people to view each of the maker spaces on the ground level. Pushing each floor back as you ascend allows for a more private residential space on the higher levels. Along with this, we decided to keep Coffee Corral on our site to avoid displacement and create a synergy with our bakery maker spaces.

D E S I G N

D E S C R I P T I O N

The layered form of each building is set back by 6 feet for each floor to keep the central community area as open as possible. The rounding of each building is meant to draw people through the street-like space, under the elevated bridges, and into the courtyard, where the morning and afternoon light will shine into the gathering area. As you approach the building from Drs. James Parker Boulevard, the slight curving of the walls guides you into the passageway between the corner building and the east wing.

Here, you can experience the makers that are on both sides of the path, as you make your way to the central plaza. The curves of the building widen, creating a large open space where people can gather, relax, and pause their hectic day.
