SPECTRUM gothic configuration

sophomore undergrad studio 01 | Fall 2020 | instructor, Lars Spuybroek partner, Katia Riwayat

This semester long project analyzed and researched various architectural styles. We were partnered in a duo throughout the development of this project. My section focused on gothic window tracery and the curves which were extracted from those window designs.

We then carried out multiple phases with these various curves in order to create sheets or fields of configurations which would eventually lead to the basic structural and physical walls of our building.

This 8 - story building was programmed to be an LGBTQ+ center based in the inner heart of Chicago.

We then used unique techniques to form gaps and rooms which followed the processes seen in the initial composition of the curves.

The addition of stained colored glass was intentionally placed as a reflective effect on the white surface which we represented as a blank canvas.

The renderings are the most effective way to express the conceptual decisions made in the development of this building.

wellness retreat center sophomore undergrad studio 02 | Spring 2021 | instructor, Michelle Rinehart

We, as individuals, form experiences and memories through objects around us. As curious as we are, the only real way we can identify happenings from the rest is using our senses. Everything carries its characteristics that offer its unique identification, whether that be the thrashing of water upon rocks or the tree trunk’s rugged texture.

For this project, I wished to morph these experiences into a sensory hierarchy based solely on their strength in our bodies. You will experience differing amplitudes of sensory connection to the space you are traveling in.

I beleived following a rock slab placement concept as seen on the bare foundation of the manchester mills and the sides which coat the artifical sepeartion in the creek would guide me in shifting and stacking program elements.

RECOVERY,RECONNECTION, + REGROWTH modular community housing

junior undergrad studio 04 | Summer 2021 | instructor, Ryan Roark

38 RRR | summer 2021 | RR

Artisan Yards, an area near the southern part of Atlanta, is centered among three prominent neighborhoods: Castleberry Hill, Mechanicsville, and Downtown Atlanta. These areas have dealt with continuous battles of economic suppression, social and cultural separation, and many of the current residents still undergo the repercussions from the early 1900s during racial segregation.

This proposition will provide resources to heal the broken pieces of these neighborhoods and expand beyond reintroducing social connection and cultural union among the local residents. Finally, this area will soon be on its way towards being the progressive place it once was before and possibly better.

In turning these motives into reality, the program intends to resolve and address the issues among the neighborhoods. The proposed program consists of residential and non-residential programs.

Secondly, there is a non-residential program aimed towards the further development of career and job demographics. the residential housing units will be designed purposefully to promote new friendships, relationships, and more (reconnection). This will tackle housing insecurity and eviction present in the area.

TREE OF STORYTELLING activist-run center

junior undergrad studio 03 | Fall 2021 | instructor, Elisa Dainese

52 TREE OF STORIES | fall 2021 | ED

This project was a two-phase project which involved the creation of a machine which would transition towards the development of an activist-run center.

My concept focuses on the relationship of the native american diaspora and the storytelling of their experiences which helps to bring awareness to this commonly shadowed culture.

Through the implementation of program and space, this is a center made for native americans to spread their culture while also teaching the local public about their past.

With communication as a driver in this project, they are able to access radios, performance spaces, broadcasting hubs, and more.

SITE PLAN

With political violence and the decay of wealth in the rural parts of Mexico, specifically Xothe Hidalgo, they are in dire need of a sustainable, functional, affordable, and practical housing solution. CASA CASA is my proposed solution to tackle this issue.

My project takes into account various aspects from culture to stackability. The main concept behind the project is a modular kit of parts housing that follows a grid (20’ x 40’) that can conform to any given site.

68

These houses are similar to lego blocks which can be stacked in various ways allowing for generative communities to form. Although houses can’t solve a majority of the social and economic problems of the city, they are a stepping stone to reaching those goals.

I hope through my project, you can begin to see how this could be an initial step into fixing this historic dilemma.

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion by Toyo Ito

The section-perspective view offers a unique view of the spatial structure of the interior, as well as circulation added by furniture. This North-South section, facing west, cuts through beams, the aluminum massing, glass, as well as open space on the facades to reveal how thee materials are used in relation to one another in order to create intersecting shapes of different transparencies. This view offers a look at the depth of the structure, as this section is taken approximately at the midpoint of the North and South facades. The exploded axonometric view allows us to deconstruct the structure horizontally and vertically to understand all the structural components and elements of a structure, as well as how they come together to complete the structure. For this specific view, the glass, aluminum massing, and steel beams are all separated into separate layers based on their placement on the actual structure. This view allows for greater context as to how the beam structure influences the placement of the aluminum massing, and subsequently the glass panels. The complex algorithm designed by the architect, Toyo Ito, was the main focal point of this entire pavilion and this axonometric view captures the exact interpretation of those angles and intersections.

REPRESENTING RENOVATION Floral Court + Carraige Hall, London, UK Introduction to Floral Courtyard & Carriage Hall The Floral Courts, also known as the Covent Garden, is a mixed-use oriented project which attempts to heal an urban fabric which ties back to the past historical war conflicts which occurred during WW2.

This space is a six-story stack of forty five apartments with a commercial courtyard and frontage. The frontage contains various forms of commerce such as high-end restaurants, boutiques, and other related retail fronts. This being a structure / place which replaced a bulky 3 decade old office building, this is certainly not your typical regular marketplace. Inspiration for the unique massing of this courtyard and the surroundings refers back to the historical commercial fruit and vegetable crates.

This architecture is the epicenter of London’s luxury residences and it it was designed to improve the urban environment. The architects, KPF, even stated “The key to the project has been finding the balance between old and new”.

This space is marrying modern architecture with the conservation and sympathetic restoration of a heritage building.

Map Development Through Time

This represents a timeline which depicts multiple maps that indicate some of the program and space that was used during those times. As time passed, this space grew to be a central commerce hub which ulltimately effected the use and prupose of the area to compliment that specific neccesity. The denseness of the program is exponentiallly increasing as you progress through time. Displaying this immediate shift towards urbanization would be an interesting concept to uncover.
