PORTFOLIO

Daniela Mita

Introduction Welcome to Daniela Mita’s Academic Portfolio.

Currently I am enrolled In Drexel’s Part time Architectural Program and anticipating to graduate in 2025. This portfolio is selection of projects that showcase and give insight into my passion for architecture.

This projects feature selected plans, sections, details and photo realistic renderings, physical models and a few of the hobbies that I developed over the years.

I am often inspired from nature, buildings that got stuck into my mind and human experience both positive and negative.

My interests consist of sculptural effects of the nalural light, passive systems building approaces, design justice and Just City, restoration and preservation of native habitats.

SITE PLAN

ARCH

Studio 5A Fall 2023 OBJECTIVES: • • • • •

Bring Nature Closer Utilize Garden as an outdoor gallery Use the change in site elevation as a divider to create outdoor rooms Encourage the community in exploring young artists Teach and showcase sustainable living

SITE CONTEXT

Powelton village is a community that for years is been abused by developers in order to create expensive student housing, the effects of this actions created a decrease of house ownership in the neighborhood and difficulty for local artists to have affordable spaces to create and showcase their art. This artist studio and gallery is our way to create an affordable work space and potentially living space for the creative individuals in the community, as well create a bridge in between Drexel students and the community trough the art as this project is located in the backyard of the Drexel Smart House.

Team Mission To create designs that promote/support the general health and well-being of the community it is meant to serve, by creating sustainable, accessible spaces that are human-centered and foster a sense of community and social connection.

Concept Statement We aim to design a space that centers around the community it serves and promotes wellness and a sense of belonging. We believe that healthcare facilities should not only serve as places for medical treatment, but also as community hubs that foster social connection and support. The design should be informed by the surrounding environment and culture of Cobb’s Creek.

The facility should be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all ages, gender, ethnicity and abilities.

Overall our goal is to create a sustainable, environmentally responsive facility by making use of nature/ natural elements, technologies and materials that support patient wellness.

Description Based on the research and findings, we propose a program that addresses challenges related to food access, support for teenage pregnancies and access to behavioral and mental wellbeing resources.

IS A JOURNEY TROUGH DISCOVERY. THIS CONCEPT CAME ALONG AFTER REVELING SEVERAL TREASURES ON BARTRAM’S SITE AND HOW DISCRETELY NATURE IS TUCKING THEM AWAY, NOT TO HIDE THEM BUT TO MAKE THE JOURNEY AND THE REVEAL MORE PRECIOUS TO THE SPECTATOR. THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF STRUCTURES THAT ARE ETHER VEIL UNDER THE GROUND IN ORDER TO VISUALLY AND PHYSICALLY PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE MEADOW OR SURROUNDED BY SCREENS/PERGOLAS TO MIMIC THE ORGANIC FORM OF THE DREAMING FIELDS ART INSTALLATION AND SITE LANDSCAPE.

Chapel of Peace and Center of Conversation ADC 259

Design Studio IV Fall 2019

FOR THIS PROJECT I WAS CHALLENGED TO DESIGN A CHAPEL AND AN OUTDOOR CONTEMPLATIVE GARDEN/MEDITATION/GATHERING SPACE. THE FACILITY IS TO BE USED BY STUDENTS AT CCP AND OTHERS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND FROM ALL FAITHS (AND EVEN ATHEISTS AND AGNOSTICS, IF THEY CHOOSE) FOR WORSHIP, MEDITATION, AND VARIETY OF STRUCTURED AND UNSTRUCTURED ACTIVITIES. SPACES THAT WOULD INCLUDE AN OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACE FOR A MINIMUM 100 OCCUPANTS AND 4 SMALL GARDEN ROOMS OF PERSONAL CONTEMPLATION. THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS PROJECT WAS TEMPLE BETH SHOLOM BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT. I ENVISIONED THIS CHAPEL AS A SACRED MOUNTAIN THAT HAS THE TREE OF LIFE IN ITS HIDDEN GARDEN, WHERE ANY PERSON COULD FEEL SAFE AND PEACEFUL. I DESIGNED THE INTERIOR OF THE MAIN CHAPEL IN A SUCH A WAY THAT DIRECT SUN LIGHT WOULD GO THOUGHT JUST AT THE SOLAR NOON, WHICH IT WOULD GIVE THE VISITORS THE FEELING THAT THEY ARE BEING TOUCHED BY THE DIVINE LIGHT.

I WAS FULLY ENCOURAGED TO USE PASSIVE SOLAR PRINCIPLES AND INTEGRATE SUSTAINABLE TECHNIQUES. I PLACED A WATER RESERVOIR ON ROOF OF THE CHAPEL TO COLLECT RAIN WATER THAT WILL FURTHER BE TRANSFERRED INTO THE UNDERGROUND TANK, WHICH LATER WOULD BE USED TO SERVICE THE BATHROOMS IN THE BUILDING. TO CREATE A MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING I USED TRANSPARENT SOLAR CELLS FILM ON ALL THE WINDOWS. I DESIGNED A GREEN ROOF TO INSULATE THE BUILDING AND MITIGATE THE THERMAL HEAT GAIN. I OPTED FOR PERVIOUS SURFACES AROUND THE BUILDING TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF WATER RUNOFF AND TO REDUCE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT. I DECIDED TO USE COTTON INSULATION, BECAUSE IS A GOOD THERMAL INSULATION AND IS RECYCLED MATERIAL FROM OLD CLOTHING SCRAPS. I USED THE DOUBLE ENVELOPE PRINCIPAL FOR THE CHAPEL DESIGN IN ORDER TO COLLECT THE SOLAR ENERGY AND SLOWLY LET IT TRAVEL THOUGHT THE ENTIRE SPACE.
