Ribcage to a beating heart

Fall 2023, Semester 3

Professor Ernesto Carvajal

The cool breeze flows through my body, I can feel it coursing through my guts. The coldness shivers down my spines, and the weight of all these people are aching my joints, but it is all nothing when I see what I have created. The liveliness of the town brings me joy. To see the birth of a new culture that I have created gives me warmth. The movement and heat from the bodies in my skeleton gives me butterflies and all the pain goes away. The aches and shivers are no more. For you see, without my heart I am just a ribcage. Bones without a purpose. A ribcage without a heart.

Large platforms create opportunities for community gatherings and events that are not accessible to Brookline, Maine. Extremely large columns support these platforms for the community, as well as a school for boat building. The structure makes the building easily adaptable, as the specific columns type makes it easy for walls to be easily slid through and set.

Professor Enersto Carvajal

Design a space for community that follows deafspace design guidelines.

Large structural walls are used to create boundaries of spaces, act as landmarks to help with wayfinding, and frame views. Strong visual connections and simple circulation paths allow for easy navigation.

Professor Mark Klopfer

Bookstore connects interior to exterior through large staircase that is enclosed in glass. This staircase separates the building into three separate zones. Each zone has their own program and structure type. Yellow dedicated to reading stations and other facilities, orange dedicated to circulation, and pink dedicated to the book selections.

LYRIC THEATRE

LIAM SIGGINS/SARAH LAHMADI

Precedent Study: Lyric Theatre

Belfast, Ireland

O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects

Precedent by Liam Siggins and Sarah Lahmadi

Spring 2024, Semester 4

Professor Aaron Weinert

The lyric Theatre has a unique theatre that uses wooden panels to direct sound and light, refracting off of the angled panels, onto the stage, or audience. This building fits perfectly into its environment, making good use of its landscape and materiality. Strategically placed windows bring the performance of the city into the performance spaces of the building.

The Lyric Theatre’s architectural design integrates its three main performance spaces—the main auditorium, the rehearsal room, and the studio theater—into a cohesive structure where circulation between these areas becomes an essential part of the theater experience.

Precedent Study: mine pavillion

Denver, Colorado, United States

Pezo Von Ellrichshausen

Architectural Drawings (not shown) - Srishti Sao Model and Photography - Liam Siggins

Fall 2023, Semester 3

Professor Ernesto Carvajal

Mine Pavillion is a landmark to the city of denver. This structure heavily mimicks the history of the mining culture of denver. The wooden joinery takes the form of gold mines. This structure does not have any foundation and is instead held down by ten tons of boulders taken from the rocky environment of Denver. This project plays with scale, appearing as a billboard or a towering mass from different angles.
