CIRCULATE 02
LOCATION: FINANCIAL DISTRICT, BOSTON, MA
YEAR: SPRING 2022
INSTRUCTOR: JAY SIEBENMORGEN
COLLABORATOR: AMELIA SHELTON
Circulate is an adaptive reuse project using a structural grid that enables flexibility of spaces over time. By keeping the original front facade of the building we were able to re-program the building in a way that emphasizes circulation and create personal discovery of the building. The transitional gasket space along High Street becomes the main entrance to promote new social interactions within the building as a place of circulation and collaboration. To further promote these different interactions, the building splits into half levels to reveal a glimpse of program between levels.
Cantilevers on each corner of the existing roof create new outdoor space along High Street allowing for scenic views between the old and new architecture allowing the user to experience the building in a new spacial quality that is unique to the area.
The double skin system allows mechanical servicing to be incorporated between the structure and dispersed as necessary. To take advantage of the sunlight, fritted triangulated glass panels are used in the double skin system to control light and views. The steel triangulated frame provides structural support to the facade.

Parapet
Parapet wall on roof provides continuity and support in terms of water, air, vapor, and thermal control
Double-Envelope
A double-skin glass facade allows for services to run in between the inner and outer glass-work, such as heat pumps.
The outer steel triangulated framework allows for structural support and helps to control natural daylight with the integration of fritted glass
I-Beams
I-Beams are beneficial due to their wide flange and large lateral stiffness which create strong bending resistance
Metal Decking
Concrete slabs with composite metal decking allow for extra strength in the floor system without extra weight
Steel Cross Brace
Steel cross bracing to support cantilever, using same grid as outside skin
12’-0”
Tension Cables
Tension cables help strengthen the structure so they can hold higher amounts of service load
Heat Pump
Heat pumps are located between the double-skin facade and placed throughout as needed
Framing
Light steel framework helps with structural support along the exterior and amongst floors and cantilevers
Triangulated fritted glass panels help control the diffusion of daylight dependent on program and views Fritted Glass

BED-Stuy ARTS is a live-work residential complex geared towards art students and young local artists. The live-work element is portrayed in our form as the building splits into two buildings, one residential, the other studio, creating an open air terrace above a double height public gallery space. Interior and exterior bridges cut through the interstitial space and connect the studio spaces with the residential.
Brooklyn has become a magnet for young artists and unfortunately there are not enough studio spaces to keep up with the demand. By incorporating housing and studio into the same building, young artists and art students will be able to enjoy a generous shared studio and their own living unit.
The shared studios receive diffused northern daylight while the residential units sit on the southern side facing the street. The northern facade utilizes a mix of channel glass and typical tempered glass to control the diffusion of light into the studio spaces
Bed-Stuy ARTS provides the perfect live-work experience by providing generous shared studio space along with housing accommodations.

YEAR: FALL 2019
INSTRUCTOR: JON SPIELMAN

We started our exploration of buoyancy with our dugout vessel. To begin our vessel, we used a single tree trunk which we then began to form and carve in a way that would decrease the weight while still achieving buoyancy. In our vessel we were able to have structure and programs in a single fluid system.
The inspiration of our buoyant pavilion came from the same adaptive system as used in the vessel to respond to the conditions of the Buffalo Outer Harbor. For our structure we used Glu-Lam members for all of our walls. This was to shape the pavilion in a similar way our vessel was crafted. For our skin system we used wood cladding to represent the solidness that our vessel represents. We also used a glass skin to close certain areas of our pavilion that would respond programmatically. Additionally, the glass is representative of the resin coat used to seal our vessel. We chose to have areas in our pavilion dip down to water level to represent the seat in our vessel which also gradually dips down to the core of the vessel.
Just like our vessel, under what appears to be a heavy and solid structure is a hollow structural frame used in a single fluid system.

The objective of these drawings was to analyze and develop the ability to extract details from a set of construction documents.
I was assigned a small section of Conibear Shellhouse designed by architect Miller Hull. We were to develop a set of detailed drawings based on the current set of drawings on the building. The importance was focused around on understanding the details of the project and to represent the drawings clearly and efficiently.
