PROFESSIONAL / DATTNER ARCHITECTS GOTHAM DEVELOPMENT GROUP / CHINESE-AMERICAN PLANNING COUNCIL AUGUST 2020 PROJECT ARCHITECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

BROOME STREET DEVELOPMENT IS COMPRISED OF TWO MIXED-USE HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS (SUFFOLK AND NORFOLK) LOCATED JUST ACROSS FROM ESSEX CROSSING IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE. TOGETHER, THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF 460,000 TOTAL SQUARE FEET THAT WILL CONTAIN 495 UNITS OF MARKET RATE, AFFORDABLE, AND SENIOR HOUSING. THE SUFFOLK BUILDING PROVIDES 378 MIXED MARKET RATE AND AFFORDABLE UNITS, RANGING FROM MICRO-UNITS TO 3-BEDROOM UNITS IN A 30-STORY TOWER. THE NORFOLK BUILDING PROVIDES 115 AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS EXCLUSIVELY FOR SENIORS IN A 16-STORY BUILDING. AMENITIES INCLUDE A FULL FLOOR SUITE WITH A COMMUNITY ROOM, LOUNGE, GAME ROOM, YOGA/ACTIVITY ROOM, A SOCIAL SERVICES OFFICE, AND SEVERAL OUTDOOR ROOF TERRACES, INCLUDING A ROOFTOP POOL. CONSIDERING THE INTRODUCTION OF TWO LARGE BUILDINGS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORICALLY DOMINATED BY 6-STORY WALK-UP TENEMENTS, THE BUILDING MASSING WAS DESIGNED TO EXPRESS THIS HISTORY BY STACKING 6-STORY VOLUMES THAT ARE FURTHER SUBDIVIDED INTO 3-STORY GROUPINGS. NEARBY IS THE LARGEST CLUSTER OF NYCHA PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECTS IN MANHATTAN ALL DESIGNED FROM THE “TOWER-IN-THE-PARK” TYPOLOGY. THIS PROJECT IS SENSITIVE TO THE LOCAL CONTEXT BY BREAKING DOWN ITS MONUMENTALITY WHILE PROVIDING A PUBLIC HOUSING ALTERNATIVE FOR LOWINCOME AND SENIOR RESIDENTS.

PD SD DD CD CA

IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING MIXED-INCOME HOUSING, BROOME STREET DEVELOPMENT ALSO ACCOMMODATES LOCAL CULTURAL HERITAGE ORGANIZATIONS. ON THE FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD FLOOR OF THE SUFFOLK BUILDING BASE, THE CHINESE-AMERICAN PLANNING COUNCIL WILL HAVE THEIR NEW HEADQUARTERS. AS THE ORGANIZATION’S NEW CENTRAL OFFICE, THEY WILL PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT SERVICES FOR CHINESE-AMERICAN, IMMIGRANT, AND LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES IN NEW YORK CITY. IN GENERAL, THE COMMUNITY FACILITY PROGRAMMING WILL INCLUDE OFFICES, YOUTH SERVICES, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING, AND A LARGE MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE FOR EVENTS AND COMMUNITY GATHERINGS. ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE NORFOLK BUILDING, A NEW WORSHIP SPACE FOR THE BETH HAMEDRASH HAGODOL SYNAGOGUE WE BE INCORPORATED, A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION FOR THE JEWISH COMMUNITY AFTER A FIRE DESTROYED THE ORIGINAL SYNAGOGUE ON THIS SITE. IN ADDITION TO BEING A PLACE OF WORSHIP, THIS CULTURAL HERITAGE CENTER WILL FACILITATE RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND PUBLIC COMMUNITY EVENTS.

ROLE:

PROJECT ARCHITECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

ONCE THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX FOR BETHLEHEM STEEL, BUILDING C IS A THREESTORY STRUCTURE WITH THREE HIGH-BAY WINGS (C1, C2, AND C3), CONNECTED BY A HORIZONTALLY CURVED SPINE. TODAY LEHIGH UNIVERSITY IS REINVENTING THE TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT LEHIGH UNIVERSITY’S MOUNTAINTOP INITIATIVE: “INQUIRY TO IMPACT,” WHICH IS A INTERDISCIPLINARY PURSUIT OF NEW INNOVATIONS VIA COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING AND ITERATIVE EXPLORATION. TO FACILITATE CIRCULATION, A GRAND ENTRANCE NEAR THE C3 HIGH BAY AND AN ENCLOSED GLASS CORRIDOR ALONG THE SPINE WERE ADDED TO THE EXISTING BUILDING. THE INTERIOR SPACES FEATURE A VARIETY OF COMMON AREAS, MAKERSPACES, AND “MIXING BOXES” IN EACH HIGH-BAY, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THIS UNIQUE PROGRAM. GIVEN THAT THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BY AND BUILT FOR ONE OF THE LARGEST STRUCTURAL STEEL PRODUCERS, IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT THE STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING OF THE ADDITIONS IN EACH HIGH-BAY WAS THE PROMINENT DESIGN ELEMENT.

PROFESSIONAL / EYP ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING METALS IN CONSTRUCTION MAGAZINE 2016 PROJECT ARCHITECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

THE MANDATE OF THE COMPETITION WAS TO REIMAGINE 200 PARK AVENUE (FORMERLY THE PAN AM BUILDING, NOW THE METLIFE BUILDING) WITH A RESOURCE-CONSERVING, ECO-FRIENDLY ENCLOSURE, THAT CREATES A HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENVELOPE. THE VISION FOR RECLADDING 200 PARK AVENUE MUST ENHANCE THE BUILDING’S LIGHTNESS AND TRANSPARENCY SOUGHT BY TODAY’S OFFICE WORKFORCE, WHILE PRESERVING THE BUILDING’S HERITAGE. THERE ARE THREE MAIN ALTERATIONS TO REINVENT THE METLIFE BUILDING: (1) EXISTING WINDOW MODULES WERE REPLACED TO REDUCE SOLAR HEAT GAIN AND CREATE A LESS MONOLITHIC AESTHETIC; (2) A NEW GLASS VEIL WAS ADDED TO THE PERIMETER OF THE FACADE TO REDUCE SOLAR HEAT GAIN, MAINTAIN A THERMAL BUFFER, AND HARVEST DAYLIGHT; AND (3) A SOLAR CHIMNEY WAS ADDED TO THE ROOF TO INDUCE CONVECTION AND VENTILATE THE BUILDING.

PROFESSIONAL / ARCHITECTURE IN FORMATION CUNY / RADSON DEVELOPMENT MARCH 2023 PROJECT MANAGER / PROJECT ARCHITECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

1 CITY IS A UNIQUE LEED GOLD REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK’S ONE AMSTERDAM SITE. OCCUPYING ALMOST HALF OF A CITY BLOCK, 1 CITY SITS ON A MASSIVE SITE THAT IS 375’ LONG BY 200’ WIDE ALONG AMSTERDAM AVENUE BETWEEN 59TH AND 60TH STREET IN LINCOLN SQUARE. ENVISIONED AS A HUB OF ACTIVITY AND LEARNING, 1 CITY IS A 40-STORY RESIDENTIAL TOWER ON TOP OF AN ACADEMIC BASE, WHERE CUNY WILL FILL THE MAJORITY OF THE BUILDING’S BASE, OCCUPYING THE CELLAR THROUGH THE SIXTH FLOOR. MARKED BY ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AND AN UNPRECEDENTED HOUSING CRISIS, 1 CITY WILL BE AN IMPACTFUL NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH 491 UNITS OF DESPERATELY NEEDED 100% AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING, CONSISTING OF 62 STUDIOS, 256 ONEBEDROOMS, 133 TWO-BEDROOMS, AND 40 THREE-BEDROOMS. ALONG 59TH STREET, A LARGE SINGLE-POINT ENTRY TO THE CUNY ACADEMIC FACILITY, BOTH CEREMONIAL AND EFFICIENT, IS PLACED MIDBLOCK AND TAPERS EAST TO WELCOME COMMUTERS ARRIVING FROM COLUMBUS CIRCLE. AMSTERDAM AVENUE, A LARGE SUNKEN PUBLIC PLAZA IS LOCATED OUTSIDE 1 TABLE, A LARGE FLEXIBLE FOOD HALL. ALONG 60TH STREET, THE RESIDENTIAL ENTRANCE IS PLACED BESIDE SEVERAL OTHER MID-RISE AND HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL TOWERS. THE MULTI-HEIGHT RESIDENTIAL TOWER ABOVE THE CUNY BASE IS BROKEN UP INTO FIVE VERTICAL SEGMENTS AND THREE HORIZONTAL SEGMENTS TO CAPTURE PREMIUM VIEWS AND ACCESS TO SUNLIGHT. TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST ARE EXCELLENT VIEWS OF CENTRAL PARK AND TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST ARE WATERFRONT VIEWS OF THE HUDSON RIVER.

WHEN ENTERING CUNY, THERE IS A DRAMATIC 7-STORY DAYLIT ATRIUM THAT TERRACES FROM THE LIBRARY IN THE CELLAR TO THE ACADEMIC BLOCK ABOVE CONNECTED WITH A CEREMONIAL STAIR. THE ATRIUM PROVIDES AN OPTIMAL SOCIAL EXPERIENCE THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO DAYLIGHT, INTUITIVE CIRCULATION, AND COMMUNAL INTERACTION. BY MAXIMIZING LIGHT AND AIR IN THE CENTER OF A MASSIVE FACILITY, THE ATRIUM REDUCES DEPENDANCE ON ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING, ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO TAKE STAIRS, AND PROVIDES A WAYFINDING DEVICE FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF, AND VISITORS. CUNY’S PROGRAM INCLUDES SEVERAL CLASSROOMS, OFFICES, STUDENT ACTIVITIES, ACADEMIC SUPPORT, A LIBRARY, LARGE EVENT SPACE, AND PRIVATE OUTDOOR TERRACE. THE RESIDENTIAL FLOORS ABOVE ARE DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF HPD COMPLIANCE, ACTIVE DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND QUALITY HOUSING STANDARDS. THE INTERIOR CORRIDORS ARE A GENEROUS 5’ IN WIDTH, AND NATURALLY LIT WITH WINDOWS AT THE END OF EACH CORRIDOR AND AT INTERMITTENT LOUNGE SPACES AT THE OUTSIDE CORNER OF EACH TOWER SEGMENT. RESIDENTIAL AMENITIES INCLUDE COWORKING SPACES, COOLING CENTERS, BIKE STORAGE, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR RECREATION SPACES, OUTDOOR TERRACES, A COMMUNITY GARDEN, LAUNDRY ROOM, DAY CARE FACILITY, CHILDREN’S PLAY AREA, AND GYM. ON THE ROOF OF THE PODIUM, THERE IS A PARK-SIZED TERRACE OVER 32,000 SQUARE FEET FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. THE WEST PART OF THE TERRACE 7TH FLOOR TERRACE IS DEDICATED TO OUTDOOR LOUNGE SPACES, BBQ GRILLS, DINING, AND AN OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE. THE SOUTHERN PORTION IS FOR OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT THAT IS AN EXTENSION OF THE INDOOR GYM. THE NORTH SIDE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR OUTDOOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE PARK-SIZED TERRACE ON THE 7TH FLOOR, THE RESIDENTIAL TOWER INCLUDES SMALLER, MORE INTIMATE TERRACES WITH DEDICATED USES ON THE 23RD, 31ST, 35TH, AND 38TH FLOOR.

PROFESSIONAL / ARCHITECTURE IN FORMATION U.S. DEPT. OF THE INTERIOR / RAAD CONSTRUCTION GROUP MARCH 2022 PROJECT MANAGER / PROJECT ARCHITECT

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

AS A HYPOTHETICAL SAMPLE PROJECT, THE PROPOSED HEADQUARTERS AND VISITOR CENTER OFFERS A VISION FOR A FUTURE NEW JERSEY PUBLIC FACILITY FOR THE US DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICES. THE 75-ACRE SITE CONSISTS OF THE VISITOR CENTER TO THE NORTH WITH ACCESS TO HIKING TRAILS AND OPTIMAL VIEWS TO THE LANDSCAPE BEYOND. THE PARKING AREA IS TO THE SOUTH, SEPARATED BY THE VISITOR CENTER WITH DENSE TREES AND LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS TO IMMERSE THE VISITORS IN THE EXTERIOR ENVIRONMENT.

PD SD DD CD CA

GIVEN THE CURRENT CLIMATE OF GLOBAL WARMING, THIS VISITOR CENTER IS DESIGNED TO BE CARBON NEUTRAL WITH A TWOSTORY SPLIT BUTTERFLY ROOF. THE LARGE OVERHANG INCORPORATES PASSIVE HEATING AND COOLING TECHNIQUES, FACILITATES NATURAL VENTILATION, AND CAPTURES RAINWATER IN A STORAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM. IN NEW JERSEY, PREVAILING WINDS ARE FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN THE SUMMER AND NORTHWEST IN THE WINTER. WITH THE BUILDING ORIENTED ALONG THE EASTWEST AXIS, OPERABLE WINDOWS UTILIZE THE SOUTHWEST BREEZES DURING THE SUMMER TO PASSIVELY COOL THE INTERIOR, WHEREAS THE LARGE STONE MASONRY ON THE WEST FACADE BLOCKS THE COOL WINDS IN THE WINTER TO REDUCE DRAFTS AND HEAT LOSS. LIKEWISE ON THE SOUTH FACADE, THE LARGE OVERHANG BLOCKS THE HIGH-ANGLE SUMMER SUN TO REDUCE SOLAR HEAT GAIN, WHILE ALLOWING THE LOW-ANGLE WINTER SUN TO PENETRATE THE GLAZING FOR PASSIVE HEATING. THE EXPOSED CONCRETE FINISH ON THE FIRST FLOOR NOT ONLY PERFORMS WELL IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS LIKE THE PUBLIC CORRIDOR LOOP AND THE EXHIBITION HALL, BUT ALSO ACTS AS A THERMAL MASS FOR STORING HEAT DURING THE DAY AND RELEASING IT DURING THE NIGHT. THE PROJECT WILL UTILIZE A GEOTHERMAL GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEM AND USE MATERIALS INDIGENOUS TO NEW JERSEY, SUCH AS STONE AND WOOD. THE PARKING LOT WILL USE PERVIOUS PAVING, BIOSWALES, AND A PROTECTIVE PARKING STRUCTURE WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS TO REDUCE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT, RETAIN STORM WATER RUN-OFF, AND GENERATE RENEWABLE ENERGY. BY SEPARATING THE PARKING WITH DENSE VEGETATION, THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS PATHS TO THE VISITOR CENTER NOT ONLY MAINTAINS THE BUILDING’S IMMERSION IN NATURE, BUT ALSO SUPPORTS ACTIVE DESIGN BY INCREASING THE WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE PARKING LOT TO THE BUILDING. AS SPECIFIED IN THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, THE BUILDING WILL BE COMPRISED OF PUBLIC AREAS ON THE FIRST FLOOR (BOOKSTORE, A GIFT SHOP, EXHIBITION SPACES, LARGE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM) AND THE PRIVATE HEADQUARTERS AREAS ON THE SECOND FLOOR (PRIVATE OFFICES, COLLABORATIVE WORK ROOMS, SUPPORT SPACES). THE PROGRAM WAS ORGANIZED INTO DIFFERENT ZONES TO FACILITATE PUBLIC RECEPTION, EASE OF CIRCULATION, STAFF OPERATIONS, AND ACCESS CONTROL. THE PUBLIC CORRIDOR LOOP NOT ONLY PROVIDES EASY CIRCULATION THROUGH HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, BUT ALSO IMMERSES THE PUBLIC IN NATURE WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS THROUGH FLOOR-TO-CEILING. LIKEWISE, THE CONTINUITY OF MATERIALS ON WALLS, CEILINGS, AND FLOORS VISUALLY CONNECTS THE INTERIOR WITH THE EXTERIOR, THEREBY ENTICING THE PUBLIC TO EXPLORE THE VISITOR CENTER AND THE OUTDOORS OF THE GARDEN STATE.

ENERGY TOWER IN THE PARK A STORY OF INEQUALITY & A TALE OF TWO GRIDS NYCHA LA GUARDIA HOUSING, MANHATTAN / NEW YORK, NY PROJECT INFORMATION: WORK TYPE: COURSE: DATE COMPLETED: PROFESSOR:

ACADEMIC / COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ARCH 4005 - ADVANCED STUDIO V FALL 2020 GORDON KIPPING

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

ENERGY TOWER IN THE PARK CREATES AN ARCHITECTURAL ACTIVISM THAT SEEKS TO MITIGATE ISSUES OF INCOME INEQUALITY, CLIMATE VULNERABILITY, AND SOCIAL VULNERABILITY. IT ACHIEVES THIS THROUGH BUILDING ALTERATIONS THAT MAKE THE BUILDING NET-POSITIVE WHILE ALSO MOBILIZING AN UNEMPLOYED WORKFORCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EMERGING ECONOMY OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY, BUT DOING IT IN A WAY THAT PROMOTES THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS FIRST.

BY MAPPING ENERGY CONSUMPTION ACROSS SCALES, IT IS CLEAR THAT NEW YORK CITY IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE LEADING CONTRIBUTORS TO CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT ALSO AMONG THE MOST SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY UNEQUAL CITIES IN THE WORLD. IN NEW YORK CITY, 71% OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS FROM BUILDINGS AND MOST OF THAT CONSUMPTION IS FROM THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR.

PD SD DD CD CA

BY CREATING A COMPOSITE MAP THAT OVERLAPS INCOME INEQUALITY, SOCIAL VULNERABILITY, AND CLIMATE VULNERABILITY, MID-RISE PUBLIC HOUSING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WERE IDENTIFIED AS THE BEST TARGETS OF INTERVENTION. FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY ON THE LA GUARDIA HOUSING COMPLEX IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE AS THE LARGEST PUBLIC HOUSING CLUSTER, THE PROPOSAL REPLACES THE CRUMBING RED BRICK FAÇADE, POOR INSULATION, AND BLACK METAL GATES WITH A TERRACOTTA PANEL FAÇADE, MODULAR CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER (CLT) BALCONIES, PRIVATE WINTER GARDENS, A PUBLIC GREENHOUSE, PUBLIC EVENT SPACE, AND A WATER TANK FOR IRRIGATION. THE PROJECT REDUCES SOLAR HEAT GAIN, INCREASES AIR CIRCULATION, AND CREATES A NET-POSITIVE BUILDING THAT IS CONNECTED TO A MICROGRID THAT SENDS SURPLUS ENERGY BACK INTO THE MACROGRID OF CON EDISON TO CREATE EXPENDABLE INCOME FOR RESIDENTS. THE MICROGRID HAS ITS OWN ENERGY STORAGE BANK THAT WOULD WORK IN ISLAND MODE AND PROVIDE POWER DURING STORMS. WHILE IT IS RELATIVELY EASY TO CONCEIVE OF SUSTAINABLE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, WORKING WITH TALL BUILDINGS WITHOUT HORIZONTAL REAL ESTATE REQUIRES A RETHINKING OF THE WAY WE TYPICALLY SEE RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGY. TO ACHIEVE THIS, VERTICAL SOLAR FARMS, VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES, AND INLINE HYDROPOWER TURBINES WERE EMPLOYED. THIS HYBRID MODEL IS ALSO ADVANTAGEOUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SOLELY DEPENDENT ON ANY ONE RESOURCE, BECAUSE EACH SOURCE IS DEPENDENT ON SPECIFIC WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS WILL MAKE THE BUILDING MORE RESILIENT TO CLIMATE BUT ALSO PROVIDE A NEW IDENTITY FOR PUBLIC HOUSING.
