01 NORTH CLAYTON MIDDLE SCHOOL

North Clayton Middle School is populated with 873 students and 20 teachers serving grades 6-8. The school lies within Clayton County, Atlanta, Georgia across from Northcutt Elementary School and a feeder for North Clayton High School. Equity and access have always been an issue in this community plagued by food deserts and lacking resources. This project provides a visual stimulus and resource improvement to match the school’s commitment of the teachers and staff.

05 REIMAGINING BROOKLY BRIDGE

COMPETITION: Reimagining Brooklyn Bridge challenged participants to rethink the iconic Brooklyn Design Concept: NYC Skyline Connector Bridge walkway. As made even more clear by the pandemic, the design of our streets and shared spaces must be responsive to the present moment and work to correct past injustices.

Date: April 2020 - July 2020 The New York CIty Skyline Connector bridges disparate and often disconnected segments of New York Team Members: CIty by way of an urban trail and park tying existing green spaces to local residents, urban farmers, Eric Johnson, RA, AIA community gardens, students and beyond. NYC’s SKYLINE envelopes nature, mobility, health and Matthew Peterka community in the Brooklyn Bridge experience as a living and learning laboratory David Graham for community connection, civic engagement, education, and exposure.

ACCESS + SAFETY NYC’s SKLINE Connector provides a city-wide, accessible, green trail and learning park for New York City. The Brooklyn Bridge remains accessible via METRO while accommodating all modes of transportation.

Separated transit allows a breadth of exploration, transition and exploration. Existing lamp posts remain and new promenade track lighting is installed above while Greenhouse lighting provides safety for pedestrians below. Girder underlights will accompany side lighting from Greenhouse farms.

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT + SECURITY NYC’s SKYLINE Connector is an elevated healthy learning environment accessible to people of all incomes, backgrounds, and mobility within a dense urban landscape. Expanded pedestrian thoroughfares, long sight lines, and all-around improved lighting ensures a safe and secure experience for all. Stormwater capture systems along the bridge’s centerline provide drainage for the walkways and nourishment for the plants, encouraging only secondary use of the city’s existing water infrastructure.

The Greenhouse VIllage at SKYLINE PARK works as a community of mixed income farming organizations and companies within the city. Like mixed income housing, government grants and tax credits for needed food shortages of disparate NY communities ensure adequate accommodations for start-up community farmers housed beside seasoned and high-end urban farmers supplying some of NYC’s best reviewed eating establishments. This allows for cross learning and collaboration at all levels.

01 DAYCARE CENTER

Set on Georgia Tech’s campus, this Daycare design tackles the challenge of providing a safe and versatile learning environment for children while accommodating the desires of regular university SHGHVWULDQ WUDI¿F This design provides dynamic indoor and outdoor spaces which connect visually and audibly to university students relaxing in or passing through the spaces below.

Early in the development of this project I explored my early childhood memories through studies of representation. In a preliminary, phased studio project, I was charged to depict an early childhood memory through 3 different media: composite photograph, charcoal on paper, and tape on board.

This exercise brought me back to the mindset of a child before delving into details of a daycare design.

02 NICHE HOTEL

Constrained by the Oglethorpe Plan of downtown Savannah, GA, this niche hotel responds to the historic heirachy of local streets, while establishing order to a four front facade, and generating a public, community space within a private environment.

Program extends across a street for a new, local, social enclave. The two way intersection forms four prominent facades to the hotel complex.

The major Oglethorpe boulevard entryies and Drayton atria provide multiple prespectives of the hotel to travelers and locals during their initial approach on site.

Two demonstration kitchens lie at the heart of the hotel, drawing pedestrians to the center of the complex, and tying the buildings through social connections and programmatic duplication.

03 PORTMAN COMPETITION LBC This competition required the design of a living building on Georgia Tech’s campus. My team and I analyzed the campus organization as a network of neighborhoods designated by academic discipline.

My bioscience building was created as one component within the existing network of campus “neighborhoods”, which opened to my new campus parks as a means of linking disparate parts of the campus and communities surrounding Georgia Tech. It also serves a living, learning lab for sustainable systems and practices for students and adjacent community members.

Landscaping of the grounds surrounding the living building and the lot on the corner of sprint and 10th street establish a gateway alluding to healthy features of Georgia Tech’s campus.

Auditoriums serve as a forum for presentations of information to a diverse audience whether they are familiar to the information or intrigued casual observers. As noted in the Queensland University of Technology Study in Toronto, Canada, people are more receptive to new information while in a comfortable and casual environment.

This auditorium is the inverse environment, a space where users are given the freedom to move into and out of the space, engaging the presentation at their leisure with little obligation to refrain from entering, stay and watch or quickly pass through.

Second, the resource lounge is an informal event space or reception for large group parties, or activities where standing is involved.

Third, the resource lounge is a casual, standing club space where building occupants may rent shelf space for a designated period of time to supply media of their requested desires: periodicals, virtual devices, programmed hardware, etc. The media access space serves a direct learning tool for renters, and a varying perveyer of knowledge for the casual lingerer who’s passing time between meetings or events. The media resources provide topics of conversation in a casual environment,

Theme 3: Linear

Two types of linear relationships will be studied through the exploration of the theme. (1) Typologies 1 and 2 are concerned with the heights of the buildings adjusted from one side of the block to the other. Going from max permitted height to minimum in a linear method while maintaining baseline FAR. (2) Typologies 3, 4, and 5 examine the linear concentration of open space in a similar manner horizontally. This is accomplished by adjusting the relative proximity of buildings from one side of the layout to the other, thereby increasing or decreasing

While holding FAR constant, BCR showed an inverse effect on energy gains and consumption, with increases in BCR improving solar capture and decreases reducing energy consumption.

Features affecting Solar Production and Energy Consumption were discovered to have an inverse relationship.

Building density, shape, orientation, height, roof top area along with other characteristics have dramatic effects on Energy performance.

The other major move is the planning support system that creates a framework for smarter development in terms of design, experience, and resiliency.
