IN THIS PROJECT I REALLY EXPERIMENTED WITH LIGHT, COLOR, MATERIALITY, AND FORM. MY IDEA BEHIND THE DESIGN WAS THAT THIS FREE-FLOWING FORM DIVIDES SPACE AS IT TRAVELS UP, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING A NARRATIVE. CIRCULATION IS HIDDEN IN AN ATRIUM AT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. ITS FLOW IS FORCED IN A SPIRAL MOTION UPWARD THROUGH THE STAILWELL AND THE CURVED WALLS. THE BASE OF THE BUILDING ALLOWS PUBLIC STREET ACESS TO THE OUTDOOR GALLERY SPACE.

IN THIS EXERCISE WE WERE TO CHOOSE A PRECIDENT ALONG WITH ONE OF NICK CAVE’S SOUND SUITS. FROM THERE I CREATED A COLLAGE OF THE TWO INTO ONE DESIGN. ITS WHIMSICAL CURVES DERIVED FROM THE SOUNDSUIT, AND THE RIGID PROPRTION AND PERSPECTIVE FROM E. FAY JONES’ THORNECROWN CHAPEL.

FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WE WERE GIVEN SMALL SITE LOCATED DOWNTOWN SYRACUSE. WE WERE TO DESIGN A COMMUNITY CENTER. WHILE STUDYING THE THORNECROWN CHAPEL, BUILT BY E. JONES FAY, THE MAIN THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME WAS HIS LANGAUGE OF TECHTIONIC REPETITION. WITH REPETITION, DIFFERENT FORMS AND GEOMETRIES COME INTO PLAY BASED ON THE VIEWERS PERSPECTIVE.

“THORNECROWN IS A PLACE TO THINK YOU BEST THOUGHTS.” SAID JONES FAY. HE CREATED A LANGUAGE SO THAT THE VIEWER WOULD FEEL A SPIRITUAL SENSE THE SPACE, AND CONNECT WITH THEMSELVES.

I ADMIRED THIS IDEA AND DESIGNED A MINDFULLNESS CENTER FOR THE CITY OF SYRACUSE. A PLACE TO SIT MOVE, THINK, FEEL, SOCIALIZE, OR DO NOTHING AT ALL. JUST A SPACE TO REMIND YOURSELF YOUR HUMAN. 40FT CEILINGS, STAINED GLASS, AND WIDE-OPEN SPACE. ALL ELEMENTS FROM CLASSICAL RELIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE, ONES THAT I THINK ARE PEACEFUL.

FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WE WERE GIVEN A LARGE CITE LOCATED ON THE GOWANUS CANAL IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. THE GOWANUS CANAL IS ONE OF THE MOST POLLUTED BODIES OF WATER IN THE U.S. DUE TO YEARS OF INDUSTRIAL POLUTION.

TEN FOOT CONCRETE SLAB WALLS LINE THE SHORELINE WITH NETS CONNECTING THEM. IN THE NETS ARE HUNDREDS OF OYSTERS FORMING REEFS THAT ATTENUATE WAVES AND FILTER HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY. INSPIRATION FOR THIS DESIGN CAME FROM SCAPE’S ECOLOGICAL DESIGN CALLED OYSTER-TECTURE.

INSIDE THERE’S PROGRAM FOR A BATH HOUSE AND RESEARCH FACILITY. ALLOWING SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO CONNECT WITH WATER, AND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR ENVIORMENT AND ITS FUTURE.
