6212 CARNEGIE AVENUE STANDS AS AN ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT IN CLEVELAND, OHIO. IN PROFESSOR LUCAK'S STUDIO, INDIVIDUALS DELVED INTO THE STUDY OF THE NINE ADAPTIVE REUSE STRATEGIES EXEMPLIFIED BY FRANÇOISE BOLLACK AND DONGHWAN KIM. THESE STRATEGIES OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK INTO THE METHODS ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS EMPLOY TO CREATE ADAPTIVE REUSE ARCHITECTURE. THE METHOD IMPLEMENTED HERE IS JUXTAPOSITION, WHERE A NEW STRUCTURE IS CREATED ADJACENT TO THE OLD, COMMONLY LINKED BY THE EXISTING STRUCTURAL GRID. THE PROJECT'S DESIGN ACCENTUATES MEANS OF EGRESS, ENSURING THE BUILDING'S PROGRAM REMAINS EFFICIENT AND ORGANIZED. THE PROGRAM IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS BASED ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES. THE OLD BUILDING AND THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE NEW ARE PUBLICLY PROGRAMMED, WHILE ASCENDING THROUGH THE NEW BUILDING LEADS YOU INTO PRIVATE SPACES.

STATEHOUSE

PROFESSOR: JENNIFER MEAKINS 2022 KENT STATE UNIVERSITY

DURING 5TH-SEMESTER STUDIO, THE FOCUS WAS ON EXAMINING THE OHIO STATEHOUSE AND IDENTIFYING THAT DESPITE ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, IT FAILS TO EMBODY THE IDEALS OF TRANSPARENCY AND INCLUSIVITY THAT THE GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS IS MEANT TO UPHOLD. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, TEARING DOWN AND REBUILDING THE STATEHOUSE INCORPORATING INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY COULD PAVE THE WAY FOR A MORE TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT. THE CONCEPT OF RECONSTRUCTING THE STATEHOUSE WOULD ACTIVELY ENCOURAGE GREATER ENGAGEMENT AND OPENNESS BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS CITIZENS.

THE REDESIGN OF PIAZZA DEI CIOMPI TOOK PLACE IN FLORENCE, ITALY. THE AIM OF THE PROJECT WAS TO ADDRESS THE PREVIOUS ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE SITE’S FUNCTIONALITY. BEFORE THE REDESIGN, THE SQUARE PRIMARILY SERVED AS A PASSAGE AND GATHERING SPACE, WITH LIMITED USER INTERACTION. THE APPROACH INVOLVED MAKING THE SITE MORE EFFICIENT FOR USERS BY CREATING DIRECT PATHS. TO MAXIMIZE PUBLIC SPACE, A FORM THAT IS ELEVATED ON COLUMNS WAS USED. THE FORM PROVIDES COVERAGE WHILE MAINTAINING TRANSPARENCY AND FLOW. THE DESIGN FOCUSES ON ENHANCING THE SITE’S PERSPECTIVES, PARTICULARLY THOSE FACING FOCAL POINTS OF THE SITE SUCH AS THE LOGGIA AND THE FLORENCE DUOMO. THE STRUCTURE ALSO INCORPORATES SUSTAINABLE FEATURES SUCH AS PHOTOVOLTAICS DUE TO THE SITE’S ABUNDANT SUNLIGHT INTAKE FROM THE SOUTH. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO OPTIMIZE FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS WHILE CONSIDERING THE URBAN IMPLICATIONS OF THE REDESIGNED PIAZZA.

A FIREHOUSE IS MORE THAN A FACILITY THAT HOUSES THE STATION’S PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT. FIREMEN CONSIDER THE STATION THEIR SECOND HOME, AND THE WHOLE STAFF IS RECOGNIZED AS FAMILY. WITH A STAY OF 24 TO 48 HOURS, THERE IS A NEED FOR FUNCTIONALITY AND COMFORT. AS WITH ANY HOME, THIS IS A SPACE WHERE YOU CULTIVATE YOUR IDENTITY, SPIRIT, AND ADAPT TO PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE STRESSES. THE OVERALL BUILDING COMPOSITION CREATES AN ENERGY, MATERIAL, AND RESOURCE EFFICIENT FACILITY USING ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN ECOLOGY AS A DESIGN DETERMINANTS. THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO CREATE A FUNCTIONAL AND EFFICIENT FIRST RESPONDER SPACE THAT ALLOWS FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO RESPOND RAPIDLY WHEN DUTY CALLS, AND TO RELAX WHEN NOT ON CALL SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH, AND THE OVERALL WELLBEING OF BUILDING USERS AND VISITORS.

FOUNDATIONS COURSEWORK WAS ALLENCOMPASSING. IT EXPOSED NEW IDEAS, ARTISTIC MEDIUMS, AND CRAFT TECHNIQUES SUCH AS FIGURE-GROUNDS, COLLAGING, COLOR, CUBIC DOMAIN, AND MODEL BUILDING. THROUGHOUT FIRST SEMESTER, ENGAGEMENT WAS FOCUSED ON SEVEN EXERCISES THAT HONED THESE TECHNIQUES INDIVIDUALLY OR IN COMBINATION. THE CULMINATION OF WORK CAME THROUGH THE FINAL PROJECT. THE TASK WAS TO DESIGN A MEMORIAL CONCEPT COMMEMORATING THE EVENTS OF MAY 4TH, 1970, AT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY. THE FINAL MODEL CONVEYED THEMES OF CHAOS, DISRUPTION, AND UNREST THAT DEFINED THE HISTORIC EVENT.
