The Pardon Gray Educational Center is conceived of as a place where the community can congregate for educational lectures about its local ecology, natural habitat and agricultural importance. It hopes to be a place where school children can come and meet and learn in an interactive environment. In keeping with its colonial agricultural heritage, a small part of the Pardon Gray Preserve will be made available once a week to the first farmers' market to be held in Tiverton.

Framing Structure

The structural system is conceived of as a series of skeletal ribs that collectively build a framework to contain the roof, wall and floor panels. The heavier supports are within the courtyard space and begin to extend and open toward the eastern and western views. The rib structures above are paired at the end with double column supports which allow a small window for light and views.

The Studio has successfully designed a learning center powered mostly through solar energy and plans to install this structure at the Pardon Gray Preserve in Tiverton, RI, within the next year. This installation will be concurrent with an installation of its 2005 Solar House on the grounds of Portsmouth Abbey School in Portsmouth, RI.

Mission Hill A pedagogy of resilience. An architecture of resilience. Communities of low socio-economic status are at risk of trauma, of immobility, of depression. Resilience can be considered as a psychological buffer to these risk factors, promoting agency, self-efficacy, and connectedness. In this way, a community organism can be healthier and more viable in its larger context. The architecture of resilience is opportunistic, autodidactic, and symbiotic with the assets of the community, designed to capitalize on innate abilities and strengths. By acknowledging the barriers to social mobility in an impoverished community, I have proposed a framework whereby people can be better connected to the assets of their neighborhood, and to each other.

ssion Hill

The lotus flower symbolizes, in various cultures, peace, purity, unity, enlightenment, transcendance, resurrection, serenity, immortality, and creative power. It was chosen for this project for its capacity to inspire, and will appear on literature and promotions for the interventions. It will also be the primary signifier of the location of each individual intervention, emblazoned on flags flown from lampposts in front of each building. The second means by which members of the Mission Hill community may locate themselves with respect to thisThe new initiative is by the use of sidewalk space in front of the buildings.

Locating a daycare above a nail salon, among many other shops and near office buildings, provides short term care for children of parents shopping in the area. This supports the local economy by allowing people to take better advantage of local stores and resources, providing more jobs and creating a sense of belonging. The daycare is designed for the allowance or mitigation of views. The transparent floor allows parents within the salon to maintain a visual connection. The low ribbon windows provide the children views while maintaining privacy. On the ground floor, the glass partition allows for visual connections between salon patrons and residents next door. Above, the transparent stairwell facilitates further connection to the residents of the adjacent building.

The multi-functional quality of the space allows for the convenient use of resources, improves community, family, and oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management of time. The sewing pavilion allows for common tasks to take place within connected spaces, allowing patrons to socialize while simultaneously completing daily tasks. The three main functions: making, mending and washing clothing, all reside around a central circulation path. This pathway opens up towards the street bringing in the community and gathering them at the end. Sectionally, the sewing pavillion steps down to create a semi-private gathering space at the hinge of the two programs.

As one moves up the floors it is equivalent to moving through the steps in the building process. The users are working toward the top floor, developing skills, creating a sense of community, self efficacy and support by allowing the participants to work towards a common goal. This in turn builds resilience. The workshop enhances the ideas of resilience through the recursive activity of work and reflection and creates a space based upon the program of refining and enhancing skills. The spaces for rest allow for light.

I have had a number of opportunities, both academic and professional, to study the urban landscape. Through rigorous investigation and synthesis of data, byMexicoworking Portland City closely with communities on charrettes and comprehensive planning, I have learned a great deal about cities, neighborhoods, and placemaking.

Amsterdam is a city of canals and waterways, of dams and dykes, and of many cultures. The largest city in the Netherlands, a country which sits primarily below sea-level, it is an important port in northern Europe. Sometimes called “the Venice of the North,” it is the most ethnically diverse city in the world, and well-known for its liberal attitudes.

It is adjacent to rail service, and has its own shopping within walking distance of the residents. Access to the neighboring islands is via cleverly designed bridges and walkways, and because of the houses’ relationship to the water, residents are able to dock privately in front of their own homes.

Borneo and Sporenburg are the names of two man-made peninsulas in the Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam, part of a group of four former industrial ports repurposed for urban inhabitation. The first of these was KNSM Island, named for the shipping company that owned the docks on the island. Borneo Sporenburg was conceived and developed as a primarily residential extension of urbanity on the outskirts of the city. It is notable for its density of similarly scaled, yet individually designed, row houses which front the water’s edge, and whose open spaces are predominantly within the private structures.

The Figure Ground Plan reveals how the morphology of the Central District disintegrates into a less cohesive urban structure.

The steep topography encroaches on the Central District.

The grain of the lateral streets (oriented E-W) reveals a rich pattern of streets, except in the Central District.

The grain of the longitudinal streets (oriented N-S) reveals a rich pattern of streets, except in the Central District. The width of the grain relates the historic development patterns (with more frequent rhythms in the older districts.)

Lateral bridges (running E-W) follow the ﬂow of the major roadways, while the N-S bridges provide more linear and direct routes across the highways and roadways. They tend to align with existing street patterns.

The successive layers of reclamation have followed bands of development, of varying size. The typology of some of the wharf and pier structures still resonates in Hong Kong’s current urban fabric. The central district was dominated by the harbor cove until 1956.

The size and complexity of the road systems are most pronounced around the central district, and the International Financial Tower. The roads are narrower, and more abiding of block structures in the historic districts. Ramps and turning radii required of large roadways impact the shape of buildable lots and city blocks.

The location of open spaces are unevenly distributed, with unintelligible patterns of connections between open spaces. The size and configuration vary, except in the financial district. The open spaces are often “left over” spaces, without a strong figural presence.

The towers follow the ﬂow and direction of the urban fabric’s lateral grain, except when the towers are closer to the embanked hills, where regular street patterns break down in order to accommodate the steeply sloped roads.

A pattern of tall buildings relating to the longitudinal grain is evident, except in the Central District.

PROPOSED INTERVENTION

As part of a design studio focusing on site analysis as a tool for design, I worked with a group of students to develop a light-touch, temporary installation using only furring strips and sisal rope. Our construction spanned, and augmented, a natural threshold between conditions on the landscape.

Our studio worked with Farm Fresh Rhode Island, a nonprofit organization based in Providence, to develop a winter farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market which would complement and consolidate their thriving summer markets. The program would be vendorspecific, a means to engage the customer and display their wares. My concept was based on a self-organizing marketplace, in which modular forms could be appropriated as the needs of the user might change over time. The relationship between seller and buyer defines, and is defined by, the physical placement of the modules. The final built structure comprised three components which could be used alone or in concert, as the needs of the individual and the market dictated.

Flocks is an ephemeral physical intervention into the urban landscape of Cambridge Street that contributes to the awareness and appreciation of Cambridge’s rich cultural heritage. Inspired by human migration, the project seeks to create a memorable experience that celebrates the dream that fuels long and difficult migrations and the coming together of groups to create a new life. Reflective plastic film birds are suspended from high-tech nonmetallic rope. This lightweight super-structure allows the birds to “fly,” as the flock is activated by the interaction of the individual birds in response to changing environmental conditions of light and wind.
