OUTREACH

Outreach is a machine dedicated to restoring the health of the ecosystem and showcasing methods in which architecture can enhance that. It works to filter the excess water by recognizing the importance of the natural ecosystem surrounding it. Through this filtration process, Outreach aims to slow the water flow to help restore the site’s natural balance.

The premise of Outreach stems from the negative impacts of excess water, such as flooding of the landscape from water runoff. It achieves this by using nature to slow down the water by first: utilizing prairie plants with long roots to help absorb the water while repairing the soil. Second, creating bioswales allows the ground to absorb water at its natural rate while preventing the excess from flowing further onto the site. Third, terracing to slow down the flow of runoff water entering the site. Finally, an intensive green roof which absorbs and contains any excess water flowing from the roadways. By utilizing these systems, Outreach creates a triangulation of systems that help repair the site, control the water flow, and contain any excess water entering the site.

HARLEM STUDIOS WEST

WELLS PRECAST CONCRETE COMPETITION: FIRST PLACE PRIZE

Harlem Studios West is designed to provide low- income housing opportunities to the residents in Harlem, New York. The material choice for this project is precast concrete which allowed for modular design and low- income feasability. The main floor and basement contain a gallery space to express harlem’s history of art. Each floor above are ither one or two bedroom units. The top floor even includes a community work space for residents.

This project was a part of a design competition sponsored by Wells Concrete. This challenged us to use precast in new and interesting ways. Our project recieved ﬁrst place for it’s innovative use of CNC forms for the facade, transparent concrete, and modular design to push the precast industry to new opportunities.

MUSEUM OF PROTEST

Protests have been a consistent part of our country’s history since colonization, with Washington, D.C. serving as a central stage for many pivotal demonstrations that have shaped our national identity. While Washington D.C. acknowledges this side of our history, the influence of protest has not been it is not shown to the true extent. We believe that D.C. is a white box in and of itself, and the Museum of Protest will juxtapose this front from all angles. The museum will contrast the rigid grid that can be seen in the National Mall and it will contradict the existing architecture seen in the National Mall. Programmatically, the museum will be inclusive, providing flexible spaces for artists to represent their perception of protest in unrestrained ways. The Museum of Protest will be a place for interpretation, allowing the viewer to learn about a side of our history that has not been so clearly laid out in the rigid master plan of Washington D.C., but has nonetheless been instrumental in defining the nation. In doing so, the museum will challenge the very concept of the white cube by embracing the complexity and diversity that it often excludes, creating a space where all forms of expression and history can coexist without constraint.
