HOUSING EXHIBITION

LOCATION: SOUTH BOSTON

YEAR: FALL 2021

INSTRUCTOR: TIM LOVE

The graduate Urban Housing Studio focused on the development of a housing complex located in South Boston. The studio collectively designed different parcel layouts, then determined the best option. Once the parcel layout was decided, the students selected a parcel to design their own triple decker housing building. While each student designed their own unique building, they had to work together in order to create a cohesive complex that takes into account shared open space, rain water management, and party walls. In addition to these requirements, we were challenged to represent our projects without the use of traditional rendering softwares. The use of textures, color pallets, and patterns applied in Photoshop and Illustrator helped to develop a unique representational style for my four story contribution to the housing exhibition.

PHOTOGRAPHER’S ROW HOME

LOCATION: NORTH PHILADELPHIA

YEAR: FALL 2019

INSTRUCTOR: ELIZABETH LOVETT KESHET

The row home is an iconic piece of Philadelphia’s architectural landscape. Found throughout the city, the row home is the go to residential design for the city’s residences. The photographers row home was my individual contribution to a studio wide project where each student was assigned a specific narrative to influence their row home design, with a shared site located just behind the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University. Each row home had to follow Philadelphia zoning and building codes. As the name suggests, my row home was designed for a photographer, with a large studio space in the rear of the building. The front facade of the building has a more traditional row home style associated with Philadelphia, while the rear facade features a more contemporary facade with large windows.
