MASTER PLAN FOR THE ST. ELIZABETHS EAST CAMPUS Anacostia, Washington D.C. Fall 2021 | Clemson University ARCH 8950 | David Allison & Byron Edwards Site Analysis Project Team | Ellie Hayati and Bing Xue Master Plan Project Team | Maria Matiauda and Lulwah Aldamkhi The Anacostia region in DC is full of historic cultural buildings and previously neglected populations. With new investments into the public infrastructure in the area, Anacostia is getting the public investment it has long needed. The master plan aims to bring biophilic design, safe walkable and bikeable streets, public locker rooms and bike storage, and additional public transportation to create a safe, sustainable site. Providing low-cost sustainable retail utilizing shipping containers offers an opportunity for locals to be a part of the community. The shipping containers allow street artists to add local color and art the city currently lacks. Anacostia currently lacks public parks and spaces of gathering; adding numerous parks to the campus invites residents to engage with their surroundings.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION EXPANSION Inspiration for the landscape came from Burley Marks’s use of patterning for wayfinding that guides visitors through the site. Utilizing local biophilia serves as a guard for vehicular traffic protecting pedestrians and bikers while serving as a rain garden to aid in water filtration and flood prevention.

6

PUBLIC LOCKER ROOMS AND BIKE STORAGE With added public transportation, pedestrian-friendly and bikeable streets, locker stations reutilizing shipping containers were added, giving commuters the opportunity to have a sustainable and healthy means to commute.

CONNECTING COMMUNITY THROUGH NATURE: A PRIMARY CARE CLINIC Anacostia, Washington D.C. Fall 2021 | Clemson University ARCH 8950 | David Allison & Byron Edwards The project continues the ideals of the master plan promoting pedestrian-centered access and movement through landscape inspired by Burle Marx. The building form and facade on the east and west of the site follow the existing style of neighboring buildings on the St. Elizabeths Campus. The primary circulation from the metro stop on the exterior connects to an interior glass louvered facade following the curving nature of the landscape. This promotes clear wayfinding throughout the ambulatory care center and connections to nature on all floors. The green roof that emerges from the two masses allows for patients and staff to further connect with nature away from the public for a moment of respite and relaxation.

EAST BOSTON MASTER PLAN AND RESIDENTIAL DESIGN East Boston, Massachusetts Fall 2019 | Wentworth Institute of Technology Urban Design Studio | Mark Klopfer Project Team | Katherine Small

LAND USE Waterfront Residential Neighborhood Residential Retail

Our site concept started by continuing the two existing street grids on the left and right sides and mitigating the two grids through the formation of our site buildings, streets, pedestrian circulation, and landscaping. The main pedestrian park serves as a central meeting point of the two grids that allow public access on the boardwalk. The building bars face the water to break the grid and maximize views. To account for the rising tide in East Boston, the waterfront buildings are built up by 4 feet, creating underground parking for residents.

For the residential units, two and three bedrooms followed a maisonette style, while studios and one-bedroom apartments remained one story. Through the use of materials and placement of unit types, the facade differentiated program and unit type while providing privacy for residents and providing maximum natural lighting.

FOLDING NEW LIFE INTO THE JOHN D. O’BRYANT CAMPUS Roxbury, Massachusetts Fall 2020 | Wentworth University Adaptive Intervention Studio | Mark Pasnik Project Team | Katherine Small The project created a new central entrance marked by a wood veil-like facade system that extends past Breuer’s existing concrete facade to welcome students and the community onto the campus. The multi-functional entrance announces the schools presence and joins the two campuses together creating a central meeting space for students and the community. On the second and third floor, a central library was created maximizing student interaction with the facade system. The library maximizes the benefits of the screens daylighting during the day while at night it lights up the streets of Roxbury to invite the community in.

PANEL STUDIES Iterative facade studies were implemented understanding the relationship through the scale of a student in relation to the panels angle of rotation, louvre sizing, spacing, and angle of the louvres.

THE INSTRUCTABLES: THE HIDDEN GEM OF CAMBRIDGE Cambridge, Massachusetts Spring 2019 | Wentworth Institute of Technology Comprehensive Studio | Samuel Maddox Project Team | Katherine Small and Meghan King The initial site concept utilized three different locations in Cambridge as the primary axes for each floor that stack to form a central atrium. The primary void formed by these axes is covered in glass brick to pay homage to Cambridge’s brick facades while allowing light to guide circulation. On each floor, visitors exit parallel to the direction of the void on that floor. Programmatic spaces were placed around the voids creating a solidity from the concrete mass. Precast concrete panels were placed at varying heights to articulate the concrete facade further to give the exterior a human scale. The concrete mass gives the glass brick an appearance as a jewel in the middle of a solid rock seen throughout Cambridge.
