ABOUT ME

NAME BIRTH BIRTHPLACE BIO

John Carlisle

Jan 8, 1995

Atlanta, GA

Architecture first appealed to me because of my propensity to explore ideas through hand drawings and physical models. These modes of creativity introduced me to the concepts of form and space which aided me entering undergraduate studio. There, I excelled because of my passion for problem solving and conviction to storytelling. In my professional practice, I am praised for my attention to detail and adaptivity to new projects and the challenges they present. Today, Architecture appeals to me because of the opportunity to uplift the lives of others. My work in healthcare provokes me to consider how design can impact human wellbeing and foster resiliency in the face of trauma. Both are notions which I hope to fortify through my graduate studies.

RESIDENCIA PARC CENTRE

EXTENDED STAY RESIDENTIAL FOR SANT MARTI BARCELONA, SPAIN

PUSH | PULL

Residencia Parc Centre provides extended stay for the industrialturning-innovation and technology district of Sant Marti and 22@.

Located in its heart, the articulate facade drapes its bronzed windows as a backdrop for the central park.

The individual units, consisting of two typologies, respond to each of the two adjacent towers by French architect Dominique Perrault. The nuance of Perrault’s formal motif, a simple offset of two extrusions, is repeated, applying the manipulation to the unit rather than the building, thus generating both balcony and patio for the respective units.

The figurative ground floor serves to mediate the leftover complex of Can Ricart, a 150-year-old textile factory, to the urban texture of Barcelona’s Eixample block.

MEMORY CAPTURE ARCHIVE

REVISITING THE OLD ATLANTA PRISON FARM ATLANTA, GA

READ | WRITE | MIX

The Memory Capture Archive is inspired by the archival device of magnetic tape employed in the compact cassette. Research of the artefact itself, the cassette, developed two timelines of method and understanding: one, iterative and on loop, the other chronological and succesive. By means of program and implementation, I sought to combine both iterative and chronoligcal mappings of time, as a new method for navigating both time and space on site.

The invented archive is not a static structure of storage, but an active device constantly accessed. The embued history remains an incomplete track, activated by the reading and recording of human experience in the present. As we navigate the terrain and its past, we share in the collective opportunity to tell a new story--everytime a new experience, every time an experiential mixtape. Read, write, remix; discover, create, collaborate

A new tower to foster community within the built environment and within the urban context. Our goal was to create quality space threaded continuously through the building, with quality defined by functionality for an interactive community, connectivity through vertical integration, and elegance in multi-height spaces.

MAKING SPACE | VERTICAL

Office spaces designed with interlocking and alternating floor plates provide quality space with a unique work experience, while also maintaining the economy of singlefloor speculative tenant space. Grand stairs connecting the split-level floors facilitate circulation, gatherings, meetings, and lectures, and grand views around Atlanta.

SPLIT-LEVEL OFFICE SPACE

HIGH END | HIGH CEILINGS

Single-height and double-height residential units continue the trend of quality space for the private life. Single-level units maximize the frequency of the corner apartment, while lofted, double height units create center apartments just as desirable. The sculptural quality of the tower creates unconventional forms continuously varying up the residential floors, offering unique residential floor plans and views around the city.

RELIC

ANDALUSIA FARMS VISITOR’S CENTER MILLEDGEVILLE, GA

VIEWS FROM DRIVEWAY

THRESHOLD | APERTURE

The Andalusia Farm and home of Flannery O’Connor, author, lies preserved just off of Highway 441 near Milledgeville, GA. On one side of the busy highway is a “big box” strip development of car dealers and furniture outlets. On the other side, behind the buffer of pines lining the road, sits Andalusia Farm untouched and quiet, left behind as a relic of the life of Flannery O’Connor. The Visitor’s Center, situated just beyond the tree break, reflects the “big box” developments across the street, inviting visitors off the highway and away from the traffic noise.

While visitors’ cars sit parked beneath the building in the shade, the visitor’s center itself floats delicately above to preserve the natural farm land around. Views of Andalusia are restricted by a massive wall wrapped in cor-ten steel, while visitors explore the center and learn about the life of Flannery O’Connor. Finally, visitors arrive at an aperture, the threshold between present and past, aligning views directly with the home of Flannery O’Connor and giving access to the footbridge landing at the start of the property’s original drive.

NATURAL | PUBLIC SPACE

Central Park Gallery is designed to exhibit the work of photographer Abelardo Morell. Morell is well known for camera obscura, in which he imposes a long exposure image onto an environment. The Gallery connects the major thoroughfare of North Avenue to Atlanta’s Central Park and becomes an extension of the public space by extending and imposing the park surface onto the roof, and, along the roof’s edge, natural light refracts into the gallery spaces.

ASCENSION

NATURE | ARCHITECTURE

Inspired by the combination of nature and architecture. Sprawling fourth from the hillside, Ascension occupies the site like a large tree, its roots extending out to connect with the land around. These “root” elements assimilate with elegant, flowing forms found in nature, and natural systems that appear not to proscribe to any formal rules. Meanwhile, as one follows the unordered system into the central massing, more intentional and ordered forms are discovered, representing ideas of hidden order and complexity in nature, as well as intentionality found in architecture.

Ascension is directed to the sky, with its central spiral reaching up above the trees around. As one locates their self centrally within the structure, lateral emphasis of approach is replaced by the vertical emphasis of the spiral and central dome above that conceals an array of structural connections.

With its parting piece, Ascension provides an artificial night sky on the dome’s interior, comprised of tiny piercings that allow sunlight to appear as stars within. As an architectural form in nature, Ascension seeks to emulate nature either overlooked or unseen in the urban setting, such as a starry night sky. It inspires one’s gaze upawrds.
