FORT MONROE HIGH SCHOOL FOR SEA LEVEL RISE 4TH YEAR STUDIO PROJECT

The Fort Monroe High School for Sea Level is located at Fort Monroe, a former military installation in Hampton, Virginia. Considering that the Hampton Roads community is the second largest population center at risk for sea level rise behind New Orleans in the U.S., the structure is raised four feet to accommodate flooding. The immediate site of the building is shaped similar to a baseball field as it curves towards the water. In response to the site, the building adopts a curvilinear form which provides excellent views of the waterfront. There are two primary corridors within the L-shaped building which include spaces such as a cafe, general classrooms, collaboration space, and a large presentation space.

Furthermore, the school includes a library and labs for marine, atmospheric pressure, and global warming research.

VIBE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER - 20

VIBE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER 2nd Year Studio Project

Located in the Vibe District, an up and coming community of creatives, artists, and musicians in Virginia Beach, Virginia, this project involved the creation of a Cultural Arts Center.

DESIGN PROCESS

Considering that the design concept is progression, the building is u-shaped as the structure snakes around the site. As the design progressed, the edges of the building evolved from being horizontal and vertical in plan to being diagonal along certain faces. The entry passage, lobby, and medium gallery are depressed while one elevates as they transition through the building.
