THE WHITLOCK HOUSE

Professor: Nina Wilson Collaborator: Donovan Hernandez

INNOVATION & INTEGRATION OF SYSTEMS THINKING PRIZE - WINNER SYRACUSE, NY

The Whitlock House is a supportive housing project sited on the existing Whitlock Building.The project lends a helping hand to these individuals through a sustainable retrofit of the existing building, using an integrated building systems approach that simultaneously creates safe and accessible housing.

In addition to creating physical spaces with views and access to nature, privacy, and natural light, some of our main goals were durability, care, and low maintenance costs as well as community gathering spaces. Each of these design principles is used in an effort to combat negative associations with institutions and instill safety in the residents.

THE WHITLOCK HOUSE continued

With these goals in mind, the project began with the concept of support, with the existing building and the programs within it supporting the new residents above, both structurally and psychologically. The existing building’s masonry is no longer structurally sound but has a steel supporting structure in the interior in a regularized grid on the east half of the building and irregular on the west. The project adapts this existing structure into a mass timber column and beam system that houses the new units above. This expressed structural system is visible throughout the project in many moments, with a clear emphasis on the material qualities of wood, its warmth and strength.

Resting upon the structural system is the facade system which is threefold, an opaque panel, a translucent, recycled glass fiber fabric inspired by Kengo Kuma’s Meme House, and then an insulated glazing unit with a transparent PV film on the exterior. The combination of the different materials creates varying layers of transparency and creates a safe haven within Syracuse.

THE WHITLOCK HOUSE - model

Professor: Nina Wilson Collaborator: Donovan Hernandez

DESIGN & INTEGRATION OF QUALITY SPACE - WINNER SYRACUSE, NY

A continuation of The Whitlock House, this model was created for the traditional fourth-year chunk model competition. The contstraints were a 1:1 model within a 24” x 24” square. We created the model to highlight the light & structural qualities of The Whitlock House. It consists of one structural bay of our mass timber-tree system holding up the living room of one of the residences. Most importantly, the model exhibits the light qualities created by the double-skin facade system.

Through the model we conveyed the living quality created by the seamless integration of materials and systems, as well as the resulting space as it would be occupied and lived in.

BATHING IN RUST RIO MARINA, ITALY

The excessive history of extractive mining has left visible scars on Elba island that live on through its environments. This project is an informative bathouse and rainwater purification center situated in historically-charged ruins of a former washery.

Water is collected in a nearby strip mine, Gibraltar, and is then transported and filtered inside the bathouse, and finally distributed to the town through a watertower at the former dock. The architectural moves of the bathouse are in direct response to its powerful history, and all interventions treat the existing site with the utmost respect, becoming ceremonial at moments. The project itself combines the filtration of rainwater, and uses this process to spotlight the growing lack of clean water on the island, while ensuring that the majority of the filtered water becomes a public asset to the nearby town.

professional work ROCHESTER, NY

C & S Companies

` At C & S Companies my work consisted of shadowing the managing architect and supporting the other architects in the office in many capacities. Primarily, I was responsible for correcting drawings of existing buildings to ensure their accuracy. This entailed upgrading existing plans to Revit, whether paper or autocad, and correcting any inaccuracies through site visits and measurements.

Secondarily, I assisted the visualization team in their marketing efforts to create renders for clients. This was primarily in Lumion & Sketchup, with model integration from Revit. The subject of these renders was primarily aviation & municipality based, but there were many opportunies for creativity.

Both duties required heavy communication with other members of the team in order to be efficient and accurate in any of my representation.

CORNING MUSEUM OF GLASS Professor: Hannibal Newsom Collaborators: Jose Hernandez, Ethon Fox, Melody Multon, and Jade Cyrus CORNING, NEW YORK

Part of a larger analysis, this model is an informative chunk of the Birkerts Building in the Corning Museum of Glass. In this model we examine the exterior facade and its various components, the structure, and the interior quality of the space. We explode all the components and then reassemble them to get a clearer understanding of how the building was designed and assembled.

FINDING SEOUL FEATURED EXHIBITION AT SYRACUSE + YONSEI SYMPOSIUM Professors: Daekwon Park, Jooeun Sung Collaborator: Jade Cyrus

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Fascinated with the market culture in Korea, we were eager to understand and display the fluidity and spacial qualities within the popular Majang Meat Market. Constructed mostly by the users, we found the larger market was itself a smaller city containing communities that housed market stalls, schools, residences, and stores. We highlighted these qualities through a lively isometric drawing, showing the relationships among the buildings and the residents.

Upon visiting actual the market later in the year, we discovered the markets were on a steep decline, and were being gentrified and bought out by the government. The history of the stalls, the families that lived there, and the communities that had existed were being gradually erased in favor of new skyscrapers and other buildings. Our goal became to highlight the stories of the disappearing markets through a comic strip.
