Suppor tive Housing | The Bronx, NY Collaboration with Tyler Valgora, Fall 2018 This transitional suppor tive housing project for formerly the homeless aims to integrate into the ear th of the city and raise a mountain of space occupiable both from interior and exterior, providing maximum space to foster a warm and welcoming community to help integrate people back into society.

URBAN MOUNTAIN

EXPLODED ISOMETRIC DIAGRAMS

INITIAL MASSING

We wanted at least 3 or 4 distinct mounds for housing. Having this many mounds would create MORE THAN 1 shared communal valley for gardening and other common park uses.

For our inital massing we used the FAN ORGANIZATION of the affordable housing in the immediate vicintiy to carve out the shared spaces we wanted to create for the project. The angles pinch together towards the side of the bike path and fan out from each other as they work their way towards the street. Imitating the formation of the buildings behind the project allows for an immediate contextual association.

SMOOTH EDGES

Once the mountain was created with the proper valley and mound conditions, we CONTOURED the object at 5 feet.

STEPPED LEVELS

Next, we took that inital massing and smoothed out the blocks, runed the blocky forms into an ORGANIC MOUNTAIN. This step created an entirely unique geometry that we could never have created by hand, the natural flow of the surface was very exciting. It was an intersting combination of computer generated yet organic.

Those contours then created a stacked condition of many levels at increments of 5 feet. We countoured at this increment because we wanted to keep the DETAIL and smooth surface of the original mountain. Stepping at this smaller scale allowed for an exterior at a closer to human scale.

RESOLVED FORM 1

We kept the 4 foot stepping geometry because that strategy provedto create and excitign and engaging exterior.

This massing was the first iteration of our final form. The form undulates much more on the exterior and wraps and punctures into the solid walls of the buildng. The edges also dramatically simplify and straighten along longer axis to improve indoor spaces.

LAWRENCE SPRAGUE

RESOLVED FORM 2

From our initial massing we needed to resolve and reform our geometry to allow for more control over the design. We knew we wanted to keep the mini and major valleys and the three seperate peaks. Our initial design tests were all very short similar to our first design.

RESOLVED FORM 3

The major change in the form at this point was the introduction of 8 foot leveling on the valley walls. This change was to offer agreater occupiable shared balcony among each level, while each tenant has their own balcony. The 4 foot step is less prominent but still pulls away out of the larger walls to break down the scale in intimate moments.

Set of stairs along the back stepped platforms of the structure offers a quick route to connect all of the exterior platforms

CIRCULATION SYSTEM Another series of stairs snake along the open/ semi-public platforms on the West side of the building.

Three main elevator cores with stairs spiraling around them provide the main circulation routes for each tower.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM A steel structure with concrete slabs formed ontop of corrogated steel make up the majority of the structure.

Large overhanging spaces along the street sides and a series of stepped platform hanging over the subground sspace are the main tructural difficulties of the project.

Architecture is the fabric in which humans live. The fabric of architecture has always been weaving its way into and alongside the fabric of nature. We have constructed great metropolitan areSpazio 8 Palazzo SanhasFelice | Naples, Italy as in which the fabric of architecture dominated and overtaken that of nature. In those areas, we have assembled a quilt of complex spaces, seperating private from public, limiting a persons Instruc tors Giovanni Romagnoli, Luca Ponsi, Fallnature, 2019 ability to interact with this constructed fabric of concrete, brick and glass. Unlike an open land that undulates, changes texture and generates life, architecture encloses and creates a face. It wrapsLuigi in on itself and creates an interior where there used be none. It is the creation of a solid,space through Moretti dedicated himself totostudying architectural the hollowing out of that solid, and then the application of a disguise onto that solid.

The location of this staircase is an extremely important factor because the staircase itself is sheltered. It is hidden from the busy city street inside of a courtyard shared by a group of apartments. This tight, safe courtyard allowed Architect Ferdinando Sanfelice to push the limits of the safety and enclosure provided by the stair. Not being the main gate that filtered those who belonged in the space and those who don’t, the stair was able to open. This is where the interplay of space begins.

Alvar Aalto Chess Set | Syracuse, NY Instructor Richard Rosa, Spring 2021 As an intense dive into the formal language and origin of chess piece design, this set was designed to match the language of Swedish architect, Alvar Aalto. Par ticularly using Aalto’s armchair 42 as precedent, the cur ved plywood acts as the main voice for the pieces, creating the humbled bent knees of the bishop, or the mane of the knight.

Pers ona Mugs | Syracuse, NY Instructor Peter Beasecker, Spring 2021 As an extension of The Bachelor’s Thesis, Homes of Persona, this study constructed a similar examination into the translation between the psyche and physical utilitarian object. Ever y component of the mug set is identified and attributed with a matching psychological characteristic. Similarly to the thesis, it doesn’t assume to be correct, but hopes to provoke deep thought into traits.
