Leadworks Building

LOCATION: DOWNTOWN BOSTON

YEAR: SPRING 2022

INSTRUCTOR: JAY SIEBENMORGAN

COLLABORATOR: JACOB GANSENBERG

In collaboration with Jacob Gansenberg, the Leadworks Building was the result of the graduate level Comprehensive Design Studio, which was taught in conjunction with another course, Integrated Building Systems. The studio focused on the Adaptive Reuse and addition of the Chadwick Leadworks Building, a late nineteenth century building located in the financial district of Boston. In this studio, we were challenged to design the form of the addition prior to the introduction of the building program. Once the building form and facades were decided, which includes the implementation of a double skin, we then introduced a mix use program, featuring a restaurant and bar, event space, office spaces, and condo units.The Integrated Building Systems course required us to produce complex drawings detailing the passive design systems, important transitions, and material construction.

Architecture For The People

LOCATION: SOUTH PHILADELPHIA

YEAR: FALL 2020

INSTRUCTOR: PHILLIP M. CROSBY

COLLABORATOR: FARAH KHOKHAR

This project, a collaboration with Farah Khokar, imagines the future development for the weathering Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refinery in south west Philadelphia. Using Mobility, Adaptability, and Sustainability as the guiding concepts, we were able to design a functional urban environment of the 2600 acre site over a period of 15, 50, and 100 years. The city is laid out on a grid system as grids are the most simple and effective layout for urban landscapes. Adaptable buildings are built and assembled in various existing warehouses located throughout the site, and then shipped in to their determined location. We also took into account the inevitable water level rise, and dealt with this by digging cutouts that interlock with the landscape much like gears interlock with each other, which helps connect residents with the waterfront.
