JGE Architecture + Design, Stantec Cambridge, MA 2022-2023 Community Oriented
Mixed Use
Civic Nestled within a greater 6-building development, Kendall Tower is a mixed use building consisting of 19 stories of market rate housing and 25,000 square feet of community center program. In addition to the creation of multiple public outdoor spaces, the community center podium features amenities designed to respond to the needs of Cambridge residents. With my role focused on podium design and planning, the goal was to create opportunities to architecturally celebrate community activity, while integrating housing and miscellaneous program in an intuitive way.
Massing While an influential area for science and technology, Kendall Square currently lacks a sense of place among surrounding residential communities. To bridge this gap in placemaking, the development creates a new pedestrian thoroughfare and frames Kendall Tower between two new parks. In response, the tower features an inflection point visible from local MBTA stops, while changes in the podium’s form signal changes in mixed use program at street level. Facade A vertical screen is introduced to distinguish community center program from the residential lobby and storefronts, using angular forms to draw visitors to points of entry. Punctures in the screen highlight key spaces of activity, while changing form and size to appropriately shade and accommodate different spaces.

02 DURABLE: Sustainable Material Ecologies, Assemblies, and Cultures Durable Research Team, Chris Grimley Boston, MA 2019-2020 Sustainablity Exhibits Graphics
An extension of an award-winning research initative, DURABLE: Sustainable Material Ecologies, Assemblies and Cultures is an exhibit calling visitors to consider how the durability of construction materials and adaptive design influences the future of sustainable architecture. To access the online exhibit, please click here. The exhibit is split into three subsections, each addressing different aspects of what makes architecture resilient through the lens of four key case studies. Operating as a research and exhibit design assistant, my responsibilities included the design of the Map of Material Ecologies, assembly of structural models for case studies, and designing the Building Biographies Wall.
Material Ecologies Located at the DURABLE exhibit entrance, the Map of Material Ecologies is a 6-foot by 11-foot Waterman Butterfly Map showing travel emissions associated with the creation of different materials. The map visualizes the importance of a cradle-to-gate approach when evaluating the environmental impact of material choices. To create a legible, precise map, different projection methods were researched and ranked based on accuracy in location and distance. Each method was also tested on its ability to generate a 3d object, leading to the concept of a make-your-own octrahedral globe handout.

The architects describe the concrete frame as “long life, low cost, and high inertia.” It acts as a thermal mass retaining heat in the cool weather and absorbing heat in the hot weather. This action is augmented by an embedded geothermal radiant heating and cooling system. A liquid is pumped into the ground through tubes to gain or lose heat depending on the weather, and then it is pumped through the concrete floors to moderate the interior temperature. Dimples in the concrete ceiling increase its surface area for improved radiant energy exchange with the spaces below.
The material strategy of the Research Center ICTA-ICP is a dialogue between the permanent and the ephemeral, and its ambitious sustainability goals are achieved by an interaction of these extremes. The building is a robust concrete structural frame wrapped in a translucent and dynamic “bioclimatic” façade creating a durable, adaptable, natural-driven, and human-centered research facility. The concrete frame creates four interior courtyards for natural lighting, natural ventilation, and social interaction.
The structure for gravitational loads combines Glue-Laminated (Glulam) columns and beams with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) floor slabs. The CLT floors are staggered and laid with gaps forming shallow horizontal chases for services. Plywood covers the chases allowing easy access for service or retrofitting for new uses. The structure for lateral wind and seismic loads are vertical CLT slabs that create cores to house the elevators, stairs, and mechanical shafts.
The Wood Innovation and Design Centre is a fully mass timber building. This eight-story building houses the learning, fabrication, and testing spaces for the Integrated Wood Design program at the University of Northern British Columbia, the new Center for Design Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and office spaces for members of the wood industry.
e perimeter of this steel frame is a “moment me,” which uses strong welded connections the steel beams and columns to resist the eral wind, earthquake, or blast forces. This minates the need for typical structural rtical cores in the center of the building: the rimeter moment frame stabilizes the whole ucture. The interior columns, therefore, ed only to resist the gravitational forces. is requires a relatively small cross-sectional ea of steel that enables maximum spans of ams and creates an increased adaptability future reconfigurations of the interior ace.

The entire building is clad in a glass curtain wall, which typically is a poor thermal performer due to its conductivity, solar heat n, and glare. The US Courthouse, however, achieves a high thermal performance by apping the façade with an aluminum louver system that is configured specifically for the sun angles of each façade orientation. dditionally, the glass itself has “frits,” which small ceramic dots adhered to it to further reduce solar gain. The façade strategy is ple, durable, and effective in providing high quality daylight in all the courtrooms and interior spaces.
The bioclimatic façade protects and leverages the mass of concrete for luminous and thermal comfort. It automatically opens to provide natural ventilation or closes to preserve the heat within the concrete frame. The façade’s transparent polycarbonate skin invites natural light through the exterior walls and into four courtyards from the translucent roof above.
The interior has three distinct climate zones to save energy and connect people to the variable interior environments. First are the unconditioned public atria and circulation spaces. Second are the naturally ventilated offices that sit between the exterior skin and the interior atria. Third are the research laboratories that are controlled by conventional mechanical conditioning. The Research Center ICTA-ICP balances a robust and durable concrete frame with less permanent building systems to provide a long lasting yet adaptable research facility.
In contrast to the robust concrete, the interior partitions and the building envelope use light materials with a lower embodied energy to allow use-adaptability throughout the long life of the structure. Plywood boxes define the interior rooms, creating a warm, less precious, and quasi-finished expression that suggests it could easily change over time.

Plywood boxes define the interior rooms, creating a warm, less precious, and quasi-finished expression that suggests it could easily change over time.
Timber construction is increasingly acceptable in building codes even though it can burn. But timber is known for its fire resistance thanks to its slow rate of char of approximately 1.5 inches per hour, so it can maintain structural capacity for a long time during a fire. Durability in this building is critical to its sustainability. Because wood sequesters carbon from the atmosphere as the tree grows, the longer a timber building lasts, the longer the carbon will remain sequestered within the structure.

The columns at each floor bear end grain-to-end grain directly on top of each other. Beams framing onto the sides of the columns to maximize the bearing capacity of the primary structure and to avoid the cumulative shrinkage of the weaker cross grain of wood. Innovative steel connections create a strong connection between columns and beams, and are concealed not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to allow the thick wood components to protect the steel components from fire.
The Wood Innovation and Design Centre has a Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS) building envelope with naturally rot-resistant cedar siding to keep the wood structure protected. The cedar siding is charred in an ancient Japanese process, called Shou Sugi Ban, to increase durability against moisture and insects. Furthermore, the siding creates a rain screen: it has a breathable void space behind to drain or evaporate any moisture that might pass through the siding. The CLT within the roof assembly also has spaces to allow the wood to dry.
Building Biography Wall Added as an extension to the Material Cultures section of the exhibit, the building biographies wall is a collection of curated images and infographics celebrating the architectural story behind the four selected case studies.
03 Populus Manifesto B.S. in Architecture Northeastern University Options Studio Design Award Team: Abby Fuller, Jonathan Zoccoli, Bhavya Kattamundi Everett, MA Spring 2020 Sustainablity Mixed Use Landscape
The populus manifesto explores the application of a closed feedback loop of adaptive infrastructure and environmental systems along the Mystic River. In this design initiative, a forest of poplars phytoremediates the contaminated landscape and produces carbon-zero infrastructure designed to support the growth of the forest.
Manifesto The populus manifesto states that like
poplar trees, the infrastructure we create should be highly responsive to its environment and produce an ongoing output that sustains the ecosystems it exists in.
Application Onsite, this approach translated to
the transformation of a vital local food distribution center into a self-sustaining system. First, poplar tree growth remediates contaminants while the landscape is sculpted to stabilize growth conditions for future use. Then, forests are harvested for construction materials using modular design to generate a mixeduse production center to replace existing infrastructure. As the production center grows, sustainable active LIFE CYCLE OF SEQUESTRATION systems then extract resources from biowaste and greywater to continously supply the forest.

USING POPLAR WOOD FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL ENSURES THAT SEQUESTERED CO2 AND TOXINS ARE TURNED INTO PRODUCTIVELY AND SUSTAINABLY USED MATERIAL.
CONSTRUCTED MODULES USING POPLAR WOOD SEAL CO2 AND TOXINS IN A STATIC FORM SERVING AN ACTIVE PURPOSE. USING THESE MODULES ENABLES A CARBON NEUTRAL LIFESTYLE.
1.0 m
TREES SEQUESTER CO2 FROM THE AIR AND TOXINS FROM THE GROUND WATER AND SOIL. CO2 AND TOXINS ARE THEN STORED IN THE FIBERS OF THE TREE.
WHEN TREES ARE HARVESTED FOR BIOMASS MATERIAL, TOXINS AND CO2 REMAIN TRAPPED WITHIN THE BODY OF THE PLANT. AS LONG AS THE PLANT IS NOT BURNED OR LEFT TO DECOMPOSE, THE TRAPPED CARBON AND TOXINS REMAIN SO INDEFINITELY.

Friend Street Center B.S. in Architecture Northeastern University Undergraduate Thesis Boston, MA Spring 2021 Community Oriented Sustainability Mixed Use
04 “For architecture to be truly equitable and resilient, it is not enough to just respond to the needs of current clients, stakeholders, or those directly involved in the design process. In order to produce truly robust, contributive solutions, architects must also anticipate who won’t be sitting at the table during design discussions, and how their experience will determine the anthropologic impact of what they create.” Friend Street Community Center approaches structure, envelope, and active systems with this lense by centralizing heavy considerations of future use, environmental impact and universal design. A CLT and steel structure create opportunities for adaptive reuse and flexible programming, while a responsive screen minimizes energy use from active systems.

Landsapes of Sound is a template for recording and visualizing subjective experiences with music. This project was created with the goal of exploring how subjective thought and abstract concepts can translate to visual representation.

Why Collect Data on Subjective Experience with Sound? Because sound interpretation is subjective, no two people will ever experience and interpret music in the exact same way. However, if multiple people are able to create their own visualizations using the methods documented throughout this project, then comparing and compiling graphics could tell a variety of stories regarding the relationships between music and subjective association.

Design Methodology: 01. A song was picked without knowing what the song sounded like to ensure accurate first impressions/a lack of existing associations. SONG: First Responders by Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington and 9th Wonder. 02. Drawing field (the system/structural layout where the subjective components of sound will be plotted) was chosen after defining the key components of sound. 03. The song was listened to multiple times, but first to identify which “sounds” to plot, either by instrument or sound group. 04. Next, the song was listened to again, many times, to determine the characteristics of the line types which will be used to represent each instrument or sound group. 05. In space reserved for 10-30 second intervals, the very basic structure of each line type/sound group was drawn. 06. Trace paper was used to allow instrument line types to overlap and form an entire interval. 07. The basic line types were digitized, then given more specific characteristics as necessary to further capture the adjectives used to define the sounds and what makes each instrument unique. (scale, opacity, line thickness, things not drawn manually) 08. 10-second intervals were finally compiled into one 30-second graphic to represent the conceptualized “landscape” of the song. 09. With the now defined notation system from this song, the same notation system was applied to three other songs to test differences in expression. 10. Next Steps: Repeat with others, and compare and contrast via an online repository for sound landscapes.
