Competition from the National Concrete Masonry Association. Addition to the existing Neue Galerie, displaying works from German and Austrian fine arts, including use of a custom CMU. Site is between 5th Ave and Central Park. Design centers from bringing existing forms and spaces into the addition. This can be seen in the entrance, extending the streetscape of NYC into the lobby area, and in a break through both party walls to extend a gallery space from the Neue into the addition. The CMU allows for connection to the street when oriented downwards, giving line of sight to the sidewalk below. When oriented upwards, the blocks give sunlight to the gallery while still protecting the artwork.

Transverse Section

An “international cafe,” located below apartments, and composed of load bearing masonry with an exterior garden in the rear at a lower grade. A primary focus of the design is how non-orthogonal lines and paths can create different experiences for patrons. This was done through the use of tables as intersections of circulation. Having entrance points through the main entrance as well as the alleyway emphasizes accessibility.

The 22nd Annual Hajjar Competition | Honorable Mention

William Hajjar was an influential architect who worked with modularity and minimalism. His work has allowed for a difference in thinking when it comes to thow one uses a space. Spatial organization is key in replicating the Hajjarstyle, as it is this modernist yet unique style which sets him apart from the rest. This can be done by making use of several modular spaces and orienting them in such a way to optimize a user’s experience, most notably done by separating the living space from the service areas. With these factors in mind, the apartments are designed to follow these sets of rules, especially keeping the resting area separate from the busy ones.

Interior Perspective | Studio

Nature center which could be used for educational or leisure purposes, as well as a kayak rental facility. Similar forms with contradictory materiality. Between the two forms is an intermediary space which takes advantage of the sun’s path and height during the year to give warmth and shade. Kayak storage is on the floor nearest to the water for ease of accessibility and loading in/out of the river.

Sunpath Diagram

Firehouse intended for 12 firefighters with sleeping quarters, personal gear lockers, kitchen and dining, apparatus bay large enough for three trucks, a community center, and parking. This design was heavily influenced by the sun and its tradeoffs in different seasons. Through use of building orientation, brise solei, thermal mass, and a sloped roof leading to a garden, the building takes full advantage of the sun and what it can provide. This project was completed in conjunction with learning about environmental control systems, which aided in the concept and design.

Interior Perspective

Learning from great architects takes analysis and understanding of their work. The Radiant City opened my mind to he ideas of urban development and how a building can create experiences through use of different spaces, such as community versus private space. Corbusier’s use of a different type of floor layout also allowed me to understand than apartments do not have to be glum or the same as every other building. The creation of a space where all of one’s needs may be met in a single piece of construction is fascinating.

Kahn was heavily influenced in his creation of this museum by two main components: the sun and the collection, both influenced by the module. By creating a module, he allowed for spaces to be more intimate with specific works of art or artists. Through his design of skylights which illuminate the space while diffusing the light, while still in the module, he allows for ample lighting while not damaging the pieces. Use of a module allows for a unique experience of perspective and sightlines while moving through the spaces.
