LITERARY REVIEW(S)
Department of State - 2022 Department of State Sustainability Plan
2.A. 100 Percent Carbon Pollution-Free Electricity
“The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) has installed 46 renewable energy installations with over 10 MegaWatts (MW) of power capacity worldwide. In FY22, an additional 1.6 MW will be contracted, and there are currently 20 installations under construction or in planning that will result in an additional 15 MW of solar power capacity.”
2.C. Net-Zero Emissions Buildings, Campuses, and Installations
“Since 2007, 57 new construction projects have been certified - 20 Silver, 20 Gold, and 3 Platinum. Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) continues to evaluate opportunities to achieve net-zero.” §
§
“The Department is committed to increasing energy efficiency to reduce exposure to volatile energy prices and conserve financial and natural resources. We are retrofitting lighting with LEDs, improving HVAC efficiency, and designing to maximize daylight inside with minimal solar-heat gain.”
3.-Reducing Waste and Pollution
“Embassy New Delhi was recognized for instituting its first waste recycling center, which diverted over 100 tons of waste in 2021.”
GAO Report number GAO-04-100: Entitled ‘Embassy Construction
“As of September 30, 2003, State had started construction of 22 projects to replace facilities at risk of terrorist or other attacks. Overall, 16 projects have encountered challenges that have led or, if not overcome, could ultimately lead to extensions in the completion date or cost increases in the construction contract.” §
“After the 1998 attacks, State identified facilities at about 185 posts that would need to be replaced to meet security standards. OBO plans to construct the replacement facilities on embassy and consulate compounds that will contain the main office building, all support buildings and, where necessary, a building for USAID.” §
“According to the latest version of the plan, State plans to start replacing facilities at 75 vulnerable posts from fiscal year 2003 to fiscal year 2008 at an estimated cost of $7.4 billion.” §
Department of State - Functional Bureau Strategy
§
§
“Vision: Construct, maintain, and manage facilities that represent American values and balance the best in American architecture, design, engineering, technology, sustainability, art, culture, and construction execution.”
“With the ongoing commitment of Congress, the Department, and our interagency partners, OBO is committed to supporting our nation’s diplomatic corps in achieving U.S. foreign policy by implementing the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act (SECCA) 2022 in a manner that will increase OBO’s ability to rapidly deliver results for all stakeholders.”
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Environmental
2022 Department of State - Sustainability Plan - OBO
“The Department takes seriously the need to lead by example on climate and sustainability in our operations as part of our role in tackling the climate crisis. We are building institutional capacity to drastically expand our sustainability efforts to meet the objectives of Executive Order 14057, with emphases on data, training, policies, and process improvement.”
U.S. Embassy Colombo Achieves LEED Gold Certification - OBO
“To ensure that Department of State facilities and operations advance the conservation of natural resources and highlight U.S. environmental technology and policy, OBO requires that all new office buildings on overseas diplomatic property achieve a minimum of LEED® Silver Certification by complying with detailed standards in areas such as carbon, energy, and water-use, waste, transportation, materials, health, and indoor environmental quality.”
Anti-Terrorism
Does Architectural “Excellence” Put Embassies at Risk? - ARCHDAILY
“As the meeting point for diplomacy, embassies serve as the face of America abroad. Embassy location and architectural design have the potential to promote inclusion and openness, but when tucked behind tall fences and bunker-style architecture they can convey exclusion and hostility.”
Diplomacy and Security - DLR Group
“Of 126 facilities identified by the panel as inadequately secure, only 49 of those were replaced or rebuilt to meet the new standards. Following the 1998 embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Congress mandated the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act and ushered in a major new embassy building program. Under this program, the Overseas Buildings Operations built over 150 new secure embassies around the world.”
Nationalism
Diplomatic design: New US embassies make an architectural statement - CNN
“The government now wants embassies to represent the best of American architecture while respecting the culture of the host country. Officials try to place them in more central, urban locations, and to meet environmental targets without sacrificing functionality or security.” ... ... “The new cube in London ushers in the first wave of self-consciously architectural embassies since the Cold War. It remains to be seen how successful they will be at their extraordinarily difficult task: holding beauty, security, and cost-efficiency in a careful balance.”
Designing for Global Diplomacy - DLR
“For each embassy, our designs respond to the architectural history of that location; implement the most environmentally sustainable standards for the local area; and embody U.S. diplomatic ideals.”

THE MENU
CONFESSION SESSION
Confession Session is a place where individuals, friends, couples, and more can go to “experience a performance”. This cocktail lounge is not the typical bar, it is where the drink itself is a performance, and the bartenders are the extras in the show. With live demonstrations, and (10 zones for) explinations as to what the audience will be seeing, tasting, smelling, and feeling.
THE STAGE
Upon entering Confession Session, the patron is immetdiately an actor/actress on the stage(s - 4). On display for all the people outside on the street, driving by, and those who look in. The idea is a social gathering space that is public of individuals to gather, talk, and drink is a open setting like a set on a stage.
ROLL THE DICE
Once inside, the individual may not realize there is a “back” zone of interest. With an archway and patina door (1), individuals will see the host take the patrons back or watch people leave. If you want to “roll the dice”, individuals can be taken to their private booth in the back. Realizing there is a whole different experience once walking through the doorway separating the front and back zones.
SPOTLIGHT EXPERIENCE
Confession Session is designed to where the light source is never seen, but the light is always dim forcing the patron to be out of focus. This causes the focus to be on the drink and bartender. Having a specific LED light around the archway of the booth (8), for the bartender to be “performing” the beverage service. Causing the patrons to be “the audience” in the background.
FOREST OF EMERALD & GOLD
The materiality was chosen specifically to relate to that of a dark speakeasy which would have been seen during the 1920s and 1930s. This speakeasy style meets both neolcassicalism and modern design choices with a golden flair. Creating the “forest of emerald and gold”, with groin vault ceilings and mahogany + golden paint, tiling, and accent pieces. Within these “forests” (2) the floor is lit from the tiling, causing the walls and ceiling to be illuminated as one walks through.
REFLECTIONS
In addition to the materiality, the reflections of the patina mirrors (8) and archways create the sense of “peeking” and curiosity. When walking by or looking past, this sense of reflection allows the individuals to see what is happening without distrupting the privacy of the “booth of secrets”.
SHOW & TELL
When choosing a cocktail or beverage, the service will be tableside (1) - with the bartenders bringing a cart to the booth/table. The rolling cart allows for the individuals to have the bar be brought the them, and the service to be catered to the individual and their experience and drink of choice.
CHESHIRE CAT
The central corridor - painted black like a backdrop to a set - in designed to that bartender (4) seem to move throughout the interior without ever being seen. Coming and going - popping up and appearing out of thin air like the chesire cat.

FABRICATION OF THE LOST ARTS THE BOX
A link between text, image, and collage elements is created as a method of thinking about interior architecture. A subtle distinction between “containing” and “contained” was discovered, for example, by studying quotations from Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Space on “containing or being contained.” Based on our own interpretation of a pair of quotations, collage diptychs were created. Each drawing contains some hand drafted marks as well as collaged elements. Color, texture, or graphic elements are all represented through reassembled photography.
With the inspiration from the collages, each student was randomly assigned an Artist and “Lost Art.” New 2D and 3D collages took inspiration, materials, colors, etc. from the previous work as well as visual and conceptual features of the Artist and Lost Art. For example, the Lost Art of Calligraphy reveals itself through an interaction with the interior. The final work merges Artist and Lost Art with an evolving personal design sensibility into a single piece. While the complex associations are somewhat random, they relate to the process of collage which often combines disparate elements into one composition.

The intent is to create an exquisitely crafted interior artifact that holds interior space and carries or embodies information about both the artist and the lost art into the future by 100 years. By combining elements and inspiration about the assigned artist with the unrelated lost art, the cabinet participates in collage literally and figuratively. By interacting with the piece, the viewer will learn.
With the inspiration from the previous collages, each student was randomly assigned an Artist and “Lost Art”. The design for the new collage must take inspiration, materials, colors, etc. from the previous collages as well as provide information in relation to the Artist and the
“Lost Art”. I was assigned Victoria Topping, an artist and illustrator from Bath, South West England with creative practices combining digital and traditional techniques. Specializing in vivid color, bold forms, recurring motifs, and more. She uses paint, foil, prints, plotters, etc to create different 2D materials to further create 3D like pieces. In contrast to the artist, the assigned “Lost Art” is Calligraphy. Through the design of the artifact, the calligraphy element must teach aspects such as ancient/historical contexts, cultural significances, biblical and storytelling techniques, rituals behind it, and remnants today. Together, representing a new type of interactable collage element.

SELMA, AL ADAPTIVE REUSE
Housing Renovation
Selma, AL not only has a deep historical significance, but it also has a desperate need for assistance. The Good Samaritan Hostpial once housed the wounded during the Civil Rights movement, led by Dr. King in the 1950s-1960s. Since it’s operational occupancy, the hospital now lies dorm ant. The Structure has been stripped throughout the interior with little to no remains. Currently serving as unofficial housing for the homeless of Selma. Our assignment was to create housing designed for the senior community of Selma, that may not have a home or be able to purchase a property.
This project is being presented by Professor Moore and Professor Smith to Congress. This project is expected to be funded by the City of Selma, and the government. The program includes adaptable housing for 1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom units. To prepare for the individuals living in the units. The units are “adaptable” by having a “shared wall” in which an individual can put-up or take-down a wall to create either 1BD/1BA or 2BD/2BD units. There are a total of 11 bedrooms and bathrooms per floor, with 33 in the building.

My design was inspired and based off of light direction and air movement. Such as how it can be directed throughout the day as the sun moves and the atmosphere changes. The gathering point locations, such as the boardwalk and the interior spaces, open onto a green space where the environment was focused on and was reinforced with large windows and aperatures to blend the two interior and exterior environments. The analysis of the sun’s and wind’s movements helped influence the design of the structure on site. This included cross ventilation and open roods that protect it from the heat, as well as large pitched roofs with skylights for heat to escape and light to filter through. As visitors move through the structure, they will experience a flow between the surrounding landscape and the built structures (with views from one level to another from the inside out.
The movement between the shadows of the boardwalk weaves the buildings together with the surrounding environment in a fluid and dynamic way. At night, the glowing structures of the office and interior classrooms provide an inviting transparency, drawing visitors to events and acitvities. These lenses of light such as the frosted glass and polycarbonate materials, gather, diffuse, and refract light to the interior spaces. During the day the paeratures allow different qualities of light into the conditioned spaces, while at night the buildings “glow” like a lantern screen. The unconditioned spaces have a similar language with their screen paneled walls. The panels allow for different amounts of light to seep through while air circulation can act and move through the structure. The buildings are organized in sequence to support the progression of movement across the site, gradually stepping into the topography.

CHICAGO INFILL
Multiuse Commercial Property
The chicago infill project is a seven story multi-use building, designed to be an eye-catching strcture that redefines “terra cotta”. After visiting the site in Chicago, the idea that sparked the project was the weaving of ivy growing around the buidings. This led to the facade structure system of concrete “weavings” of different scales. The intent behind the use was for display, such as a Frontgate furniture, ABC Furniture & Home, or the AmericasMart in Atlanta. These multi-level buildings, with each floor being a different showroom, was what the idea was. Each floor was to have a main stairwell, a hearth, main elevator, service elevator, three ADA compliant restrooms, fire stair, and maintenance closet. These programs were pushed to the back of the plan providing space on each floor. With each floor being different, not one has the same plan or the same shape of stair.
The Stairs were created to rotate 15 degree clockwise on every floor with a 90 degree bend in the middle, with a wooden railing system to reflect the light down the stairwell from the skylight. The roof also has a set of program such as having occupiable space, a rooftop-bar, along with a balcony overlooking the sidewalk. Though the structure was the have views of the outside, the “instagrammable” moments were to be captured and focused on the interior. With the concrete facade creating shadow patterns and apetures of light coming in each floor differently throughout the day, each hour will have a unique display of shadows across the interior.

With the views on the ground floor, I am showing the complexity of the voids along with their location in the building. The voids are positioned into the back of the building, where the fire stairs are to the far left in the images, in the middle - on both sides of the empty spaces - are two bathrooms on each side, a mechanical room to the right of the empty space, along with a service elevator to the far right. There is also a glass elevator in the middle of the building. With these views you can see the location of each void space, along with the interaction between space and lighting conditions that is created around it.
With the views on floor 7, I am showing the complexity of the facade from the 7th floor meeting the roof level, while showing how the structural beams meet the facade. The facade also provides shading and lighting conditions that change throughtout the day that can be seen to the left in the images. I showed the four different times because it helps show the facade being cast down onto the floor. It is also important to note that the 7th floor has an enclosed staircase, because the 7th floor is open to the environment, creating an open patio like plan where c ompanies can showcase outdoor furniture or seating areas.
