THEN | NOW | LATER COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN STUDIO SPRING 2023 Comprehensive Design Studio, in conjunction with corequisite Integrated Building Systems, is primarily concerned with moving beyond purely aesthetic design proposals and instead considering the multitude of systems that go into bringing a building into reality, like structure, landscaping, MEP, and code. Working in pairs, students were first tasked with designing a structural module that could adapt to a variety of unknown sites and situations. Later in the semester, the location was revealed - a former B&M Beans factory in Portland, Maine and students were asked to integrate that structural system into an overall site strategy. Next, program was announced; students were to develop a branch campus for Northeastern Univeristy’s STEM programs. Lastly, students had to take their original designs and reimagine them in the distant, unknown future. Our building is an experiment in longevity, perseverance, and adaptability. A series of wide, stepped, crescent terraces, supported by a sea of columns, hug the historic B&M building. A large atrium is carved out where the two buildings meet, helping to bring daylight into the interior, but also highlighting the differences between the two structures. Similar carving moves are made elsewhere around the building’s facade, to help break up the massing. For the next few decades, we’ve crafted a program in-line with Northeastern’s vision; a collection of laboratory, educational, assembly, and office spaces working together as a hub of innovation. Looking further into the future, we’ve leaned into a more fantastical, extreme scenario to test the limits of our system, turning the building into a clean energy power plant and food production facility. 6

BALANCED SPECIAL MOMENTS

Concrete is robust, durable, and plastic, and can therefore persevere over time while going beyond a standard grid layout.

Landscaped “Green” axes connect adjacent neighborhoods to the water through the site, and determine building massing and locations.

Program balanced unique, and special moments to endear the building to its users while other, more generic components ensured utility and flexibility.

2025 INITIAL PROPOSAL The B&M buildling’s lower FTF heights lend themselves well to office, work, and meeting spaces. The taller ceilings in the new addition accomodate a wider variety of programs, including labs and classrooms. The floorplates of the two buildings align on the first and fourth floors, but in between, the open central atrium highlights the jusxtaposition of the old and the new, and a series of ramps, landings, and stairs stitch the two buildings together. The basement, only under the northern half of the building to protect equipment from enroaching tides, is designed to flood.

The slatted timber facade that wraps the building adapts to each orientation. On the southern side, it includes an occupiable, operable double-skinned facade for natural climate control in both the winter and summer (depicted below). On the eastern and western facades, the timber members deepen to act as vertical shading devices. On the northern face, they are shallower and more widely spaced to facilitate daylighting.

A small spur of road is continued along shore, reaching just 150’, which is the maximum dead-end distance allowed for fire truck access

A large staircase and ramp system connects the waterfront to the main atrium of the building, continuing the north-south axis defined in the site plan. The elevation change also serves to protect against flooding.

The double-skinned facade on the southern side of the building is carved away in portions to gesture at the carvings happening behind them on the interior of the building.

6. Where it is not carved away, the double-skinned facade not only helps trap air and keep the building warm in the winter, but is occupiable and has operable windows so it can be enjoyed in the summer months as well.

The top floor contains the building’s mechanical systems. Given the wide footprint and large open space in the center, the building has two separate ventilation systems, one for the north side and one for the south, which allows more efficient air flow as well as smaller ductwork. Finished ceiling panels are angled away from exterior walls, making the building appear less dense from the outside but also allowing more daylight to penetrate the interior. Egress stairs are contained within concrete cores, which act as shear walls and provide lateral stability to the column and post-tensioned slab system.

2100 A REIMAGINED FUTURE This future scenario imagines a world, around 2100, with a greater reliance on renewable energy, higher sea levels, continued inequitable access to fresh food, and freshwater scarcity. Portland’s energy production, storage, and transmittal are dispersed accross as series of microgrids and food production is localized. Northeastern’s building takes on a new life, as what is essentially a giant, rechargable battery and greenhouse. Water, now inundating the ground floor of the B&M building during high tide is pumped, filtered and electrolyzed using renewable energy in times when supply exceeds demand. The resulting hydrogen is used to power fuel cells sitting in the eastern poriton of the building when the community’s energy demands exceed what renewables can supply. The other byproducts of the fuel cells, heat and fresh water, are used to run a hydroponic greenhouse operation in what was previously the central atrium.

In the eastern (left) half of the building, fuel cells help balance Portland’s energy needs, and are fed with hydrogen from the electrolysis plant in the western, original B&M building (right). The plant utilizies higher sea levels to draw water in from the bay during high tides. In the central and southern portion, a series of greenhouses make use of the excess heat and water produced by the building’s other functions, and assists with Portland’s food security.

(UN)DEVELOPABLE OPTION STUDIO: PUBLIC LAND FOR PUBLIC GOOD FALL 2022 The Public Land for Public Good studio focuses on increasing community resilience through unique, tailored interventions on small, Boston-owned lots that have been labeled “undevelopable” by the city. The first half of the semester focused on research, and the second focused on design. Students explored a range of topics, including food insecurity, arts-access, education, transportation, and small businesses. (UN)DEVELOPABLE focsuses on housing, and specifically homeownership and its relation to identity, place--making, and economic ownership. Although housing is an outcome of this project, its main goal is to foster ownership, both in the literal and figurative senses. Ownership, representation, and presence are key variables in a community’s structural system. Unless all members have a stake in the system, there is no chance of the community flourishing. How can you better your life if you have no control over the factors that influence it? Why should you care what happens to your neighborhood if it doesn’t recognize you? Our local points of interest and social interaction have to reflect our unique needs and preferences, and they have to be easily accessible. We should own our own residential spaces, or at the very least, pay rent to a landlord who we know and who is a real person in the community. In this project, a group of efficient, yet dignified residences - designed for a range of individuals and lifestyles - are integrated into an established neighborhood and grounded to the community with a dedicated space for locally-owned commercial enterprises.

This collection of Boston’s “undevelopable” sites is located on the Roxbury / Dorchester border of the city, near John Winthrop Elementary. Each student was assigned a site and developed a proposal to address an unmet need community need, which was identified during the initial research phase of the semester.

These programs included housing, small-business incubators, markets, transportation hubs, artist studios, libraries, food halls, etc...

This specific proposal is a mixed-use residential and commercial project that aims to supply “Missing Middle” housing but also opportunities to boost the local economy via a dedicated space on the ground floor for local entrepreneurs to set up shop.

SPINE

EXISTING CONDITIONS & CONTEXT

DESIGN TACTICS FALL 2022 SPINE transforms the existing Stony Brook Sewer Easement into a meaningful space of relaxation, contemplation, and ecosystem rehabilitation. The existing site onsits of a wide, direct asphalt path from Fenway to Hemmenway Street. Two rows of oak trees flank the path along with a few street lights. The southern side of the site is flanked by a Northeastern University academic building, and the northern side by apartments. Underneath the site, unseen, is a culverted river that eventually empties in the Muddry River, just across the street. A primary purpose of the new design is to connect the Northeastern Campus to the Back Bay Fens park. To do this, it’s essential that the park become a special place in its own right, and not a mere space of transition like it is today. Because it is separated from the university and the park by roads, it is an island of its own and therefore has the opportunity to grow into something special and unique.The park achieves this balance of unique identity and relation to its neighboring programs through three primary tactics: hydrology, vegetation, and circulation. A series of dry-wells are dug to assist in storm water management and water filtration, while also acting as a nod to the culverted river that runs underneath. In each of these basins, an island filled with native plants rises up, adding to the forest-like atmosphere already created by the towering pin oaks. Circular boardwalks with benches and the occasional overhang for shelter surround these islands, allowing for slow meandering and places of rest. Finally, tying each space together and again appealing to the idea of a miniature forest, is a spine of slender wood columns that snakes through the site and lends the park its name. 34

DREDGING

The Muddy River is in the middle of a multi-year restoration project, which includes operations such as daylighting, dredging, and removal of invasive phragmites. The goals of this project are not only aesthetic, but also functional. Once complete, the Muddy River and Emerald Necklace should better be able to filter pollutants, assist in storm water management, and provide habitat for local flora and fauna.

A MORE ACTIVE REDESIGN The goals and tactics of the broader park restoration efforts are mirrored in the design of this new park in the Stony Brook Sewer Easement.

ZIG-ZAG

Po int C Fo rt

ZIG-ZAG is a proposed mixeduse project in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood consisting of a library in the southeast corner and a community athletic center in the northwest corner. Connecting the two projects is a zig-zagging spine, which dances across the site and coalesces at either end to form the aforementioned programs.

GRADUATE SKILLS STUDIO SPRING 2022

The spine not only ties the site together and connects the recently redeveloped waterfront with the historic neighborhood, but also provides a playful folly for visitors to interact with as they travel throughout the parking-lotturned-park. The zig zag itself is made out of modular prefabricated concrete elements, which can be arranged in a variety of ways, and readily assembled on site.

DIAGRAMMATIC MODELS

This project drew inspiration from an early diagrammatic model.

It consists of a series of folded panels, each progressively thicker than the previous one.

Each panel also contains a different pattern of arches at various scales.

The model is folded in a variety of ways to create interesting moments between the angles and arches.

Larger modules retain the same original proportions. 43

LIBRARY

REPEATED MODULE

ZIG-ZAG, PHASE 1 The library is carved out of overlapping lengths of the zig zag and is about the experience of traveling across and through a series of arches. The library is more than just a repository for books, but also houses dedicated offices and meeting spaces for community organizations.

PIVOTED BRANCHES

The building starts with a repeated series of the standard 12’x’12’ module of prefabricated arches. They are arranged horizontally and stacked vertically. The blocks are rotated on alternating ends to achieve the zig-zag pattern. The angles of the rotation are informed by the available locations for footings given the highway that runs under the site. The 12’ arch spacing is maintained, creating a variety of unique openings and spaces as modules overlap. Some arches are combined into larger openings, but the same underlying 12’ pattern remains unbroken. The experience becomes one traveling perpendicularly through a series of arches, and of opening and closing spaces. The exception is the 4th floor, where the external path along the zig zag continues into the library, and the experience is flipped to one of travelling along the spine. 44

ATHLETIC CENTER ZIG-ZAG, PHASE 2 The athletic center forms at the other end of the site, and starts with the same language of the library, but offers a reinterpretation. Just as the library is more than just a library, the athletic center also aims to offer more to the community by providing spaces for childcare services, as well as a full floor of residential units.

PIVOTED BRANCHES

The athletic center also starts with the standard 12’x’12’ module, continuing on from the library across the site. The zig zag is opened up, emphasizing the in-between spaces and allowing room for program to infill. This provides built-in opportunities for phasing, allowing development timelines to better aling with budgets. The 12’ spacing is still maintained, but this time the zig zag path never overlaps. Arch sizes, still in 12’ intervals, corelate to the size of the spaces and programs they overlook. The experience of the athletic center is one of traveling horizontally along the zig zag, with vertical circulation and MEP running through the corners, and programs nestled in the larger open spaces between each branch.

YIMBY THESIS STUDIO FALL 2023 - SPRING 2024 YIMBY, short for “Yes in My Back Yard”, is a thesis proposal situated within the third-year research studio Public Housing: Confonting Apathy through Image and Influence. In this year-long studio, students have been tasked with taking a stance in the public housing debate, and proposing a design solution aligned with that stance. The final deliverable for this studio is not just a housing design, but a media campaign or representational strategy that endears that proposal to the public; to intentionally and judiciously use representation as a tool to change public perception around public, affordable, and low-income housing. The first half of the studio, the fall 2023 semester, was dedicated to research and developing a thesis, and the spring 2024 semester is focused on bringing that thesis to fruitition. In YIMBY, I start with the stance that public housing has not worked in the United States, it’s not going to work, and if it were to ever become a viable solution, it is not the architect’s job to so drastically change the US’ economic, political, and social systems. Arguable, architects have historically had very little power in shaping the vast majority of our residential built environment, but there are opportunities to influence financial and regulatory systems with design. With this mindset, YIMBY seeks to promote the “Missing Middle” housing typology as a sustainable, community-centric method of increasing housing supply and therefore also addressing affordability. The final product for this thesis will likely be a book or social media campaign that inspires conversation to encourage neighborhoods in urban peripheries to embrace well-designed, infill housing in their midst.

Expanding Architecture’s Role Architects traditionally have had very little power to majorily shape the residential built environment, but that can change. How can architects start conversations about changing zoning laws, allowing for densification, combating NIMBY-ism, and promoting non-developer-led design? How can we create a dialogue that gets developers, city planners, community members, policy makers, and architects all on the same page and united in their efforts? What can you build on a typical single-family lot as-of-right? How many people can that house? How does it fit in with the neighborhood? What happens if you switch to a multi-family designation? What if you change the FAR? Decrease the setbacks? Increase the height limit? Remove parking requirements? Allow more ADUs? In all these situations, with only minor changes to existing code, is there a way to increase housing supply, and therefore decrease housing costs, while simultaneously not compromising the character of the neighborhoods?

Representation as an Intentional Tool How we communicate our ideas as architects matters.

The style, methods, and tools we employ to draw proposals all impact how our work is perceived just as much as the design itself. With that in mind, how can we inentionally leverage representation to bolster our arguments? Can we lean into the abstract and fantastical to spark imagination, and therefore intrigue, better than attempts at photorealism? Does a rendering imitating a 3D printed and chipboard model, or one mimicking a plastic doll house appeal to our psychological side and therefore make us more interested in, and accepting of, what these designs propose?

Ongoing Questions This project is just in its exciting early phases. As work progresses into the spring 2024 semester, there are still many questions topics to address. What’s the best location in which to base this exercise? Should it focus on a specific neighborhood or a general, abstracted site? What style of representation would be most effective? What types of drawings will best accomplish my goals? Does this go far enough in addressing housing affordability and challenging our current systems? Who should I talk to? What kinds of people should I reach out to for advice and input?

RENOVATED BEACH HOUSE b Architecture Studio The owners of this Cape Cod beach house were looking to update the majority of their primary living space, including a new kitchen, dining, and living area. It was important to them to make the low ceilings feel as tall as possible, retain the original pine trim, and prioiritize views toward the ocean. The drawings here are from the beginning of the CA phase. Credit: Modeling completed by multiple individuals. Drawings and renderings predominantly completed by me.
