Food Futures
Location Canarsie, Brooklyn, NY
Studio Advanced Studio 01
Instructor Arianna Deane
In Canarsie, nearly half of all family households are single mothers with low access to vehicles and public transit. To support this demographic, we propose the development of a food education and production program. The site will focus on the growth and production of food boxes for pickup and delivery, after school education programs and dollar van pick up and drop-off services for children on their commute to school.

Public Luxury: Hovsjö
Location Stockholm, Sweden
Studio RISD Core 03: Urban Planning
Instructor Jess Myers
Group Members: Charlotte Wyman & Julia Woznicki
Resting on the outskirts of Södertälje, Hovsjö has approximately 6,000 residents, most with Assyrian heritage. The Swedish-Assyrian population has illuminated the need for public gathering spaces and multi-generational housing. The project introduces three new interventions to serve these needs.

Housing Retrofit
The existing public housing on site was built for the traditional Swedish nuclear family. However, research on the Swedish-Assyrian community living in Hovsjo shows a desire to live with extended family across multiple generations.
To accommodate the need for multi-generational housing, our team designed a retrofit of the existing high-rise and row-house complexes.

Lakefront Event Space
Assyrian sacraments (i.e. weddings, funerals, baptisms) are major events in the SwedishAssyrian community and they often host up to 1,000 people at a time. However, most banquet halls are located on the periphery of Södertälje.
The following is a design for an event space on the waterfront, with parking nearby. SwedishAssyrians are accustomed to using the minimalist nature of Swedish architecture as blank space for their own ritual adornment. As such, we designed the main gallery as a large, open space that welcomes intervention. Extendable partitions allow the volume of the main gallery to adjust with the needs of different group gatherings.

Constructing Community
Location Providence, RI
Studio RISD Core 02
Instructor Ryan McCaffrey
Constructing Community is a redesign of an existing community center in Providence. Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island supports refugees and immigrants through education, job training and housing assistance. The project combines two programs, community space and temporary housing, to meet the growing needs of the organization as well as the Elmwood neighborhood at large.
In studying the organization and structure of the existing building, the design aims to preserve as much of the current structure as possible. The final form becomes a hybrid structural system of old and new, with an expansive vertical addition to accomodate the need for temporary housing.

Double or Nothing
Location Providence, RI
Studio RISD Core 02
Instructor Ryan McCaffrey
‘Double or Nothing’ is an addition to the George C. Arnold building in downtown Providence. The project contends with the “as-built” condition of the existing as a question of “double or nothing”. In working with existing sites and spaces, one might consider “double” to be something completely and wholly distinct from the existing, whereas “nothing” might be a dutiful replica of the existing in an attempt to hide in plain site.
The design takes the approach of “double” as a juxtaposition — a second method, second style, second approach. In the context of the site, the new addition highlights the existing condition of the George C. Arnold building and its history. Through the use of wood construction, the “double” stands apart from it’s older counterpart, a classic brick mid-20th century storefront. The gridded cut-out facade mimics the facade of many high-rise buildings in Providence, emphasizing the aethestic impact of old and new construction materials in an urban context.

Formwork Lab
Location Providence, Rhode Island
Studio From Thin to Thick
Instructor Nancy Nichols
I leveraged lessons from this elective course on architectonic concepts to experiment with several cast making methods, and ultimately, produce a set of contemporary geometric shapes.
By pouring plaster and varying mixtures of saw dust into sheet-derived molds, I tested the tectonic, structural and material vaiables that may affect the form and performance of the architectural structure.

From the Archive
Location Providence, Rhode Island
Exhibition Date November 16, 2023
Team Evan Farley, Jonathan Knowles, Adrian Pelliccia, Liz Shepherd, Jenny Stageberg, Charlotte Wyman
As part of the inaugural Rodolfo Machado Fund series, these works and artifacts return to the academic, intellectual and professional undertakings of Rodolfo Machado, in collaboration with students, during his time as RISD Architecture Department Head (1978-86).
The focus of this archival exhibit and panel discussion is one that considers the relationships between education, apprenticeship/practice and craft within RISD’s pedagogical framework.

LTL: Biogenic House Sections
Location Providence, Rhode Island
Exhibition Date September 28October 12, 2023
Team Evan Farley, Jonathan Knowles, Adrian Pelliccia, Liz Shepherd, Jenny Stageberg, Charlotte Wyman
The exhibition draws from the recent publication, Manual of Biogenic House Sections by Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis – featuring fifty-five innovative houses from around the world through intricately detailed cross-sectional perspectives and axonometrics.
The exhibition demonstrates how plant and earth-based materials can catalyze new types of houses that reduce or sequester carbon, engage regenerative life cycles, and create healthier spaces for living.v

Project HDH Garage
“Firehouse” is an innovative dwelling project designed to offer warmth and retreat on a residential property on the coast of Maine. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding environment, Firehouse integrates seamlessly into it’s waterfront setting, prioritizing harmony with the natural surrounding, and utlizes sustainable materials and architectural elements that complement the landscape.
During my summer internship at Matthew Baird Architects, I contributed to the design and development of this project. I helped with initial project conceptualization, rendering visuals and helped the team generate building plans and specifications.
