MATERIAL PROGRAM

in collaboration with C. Gallarello

Contemporary Vernacular

The goal of this project was to reinvigorate a coastal community with architecture that speaks to an underrepresented construction: that of vernacular wood. Before Art Deco and the modernism that defines Miami Beach, the Seminole tribes built 'chickees' -- timber and thatch structures elevated off the ground. In the contemporary period, Alfred Browning Parker constructed wood architecture using passive louver ventilation systems. It is these two precedents that the project centers itself around and attempts to become a 21st century vernacular example.

Corrosion as the timeline and the pallette.

Recreation / Regroup TOP: Urban athleticism takes shape through activating paved space as a skatepark. BOTTOM: Spaces beneath the elevated programs become hubs for community gathering: presentations, theatre, music events, and public forums. Second spaces become multipurpose programs.

Rehearsal / Reimagine TOP: Sunbeams slip between the louvered walls and onto the double height gymnastic space, a place for youth and young adults to exercise in a vibrant space. BOTTOM: The cafe directs vision to the intricate stick & bones ceiling structure, directing thought to the cosmos.

DIVISION OF NEW BOWLS

RADIAL INTERACTIONS

The approach involves organizing the skatepark into three separate bowls, designed to accommodate various difficulty levels. A radial expansion from the center outward not only optimizes space but also allows skaters to progress organically from novice to advanced levels. The incorporation of orange-painted pavement as delineators for 'skate-safe' zones enhances the visual appeal of the park and also ensures a clear demarcation between different skill areas, promoting safety and order.

The Story of Wood

From Tree to Building Using crossLaminated Timber (CLT) sourced from local Florida forests and processed in Alabama. the emphasis on local materials enforces regional craftsmanship and also significantly reduces the project's carbon footprint through minimized transportation distances. The utilization of CLT, a renewable and engineered wood product, enhances the building's materiality with a warm and organic aesthetic while simultaneously

DATE Metal, light timber Brewery

MATERIAL PROGRAM

Pseudocrater Pseudo-building

The topography of Icelandic pseudocraters guides the architectural journey within the building, sculpting a dynamic experience that mirrors the undulating ascent and descent of the gentle slopes found in the natural craters. As users navigate through the space, the subtle rises and falls in elevation echo the geological contours, creating a harmonious fusion of design and nature, inviting a sensory exploration reminiscent of Iceland's unique landscape.

The exterior image of protruding warm spaces against the sloping hill integrates the building within the surrounding context.

The project seamlessly integrates with Icelandic beer culture by incorporating spaces inspired by Scandinavian design, fostering a social atmosphere where enthusiasts can gather, share experiences, and savor craft brews amidst the captivating backdrop of the country's natural beauty.

Hill-Steppe-Seating

The stepped hill within the architectural design serves as a multifunctional program, providing a series of tiered platforms for visitors to sit and gaze at the breathtaking Icelandic views. These elevated spaces are purposefully designed as communal areas for dining and beer tastings, offering a unique

experience where patrons can savor local brews while immersed in the stunning scenery of Iceland. The stepped configuration not only maximizes the enjoyment of panoramic vistas but also fosters a sense of connection with the landscape, enhancing the overall ambiance of the dining and tasting experience.

MATERIAL PROGRAM

Urban Duplication As a result of the urban plotting of Miami, especially within Coconut Grove, the building’s size allows it be duplicated at large quantities en masse across the city in parcels with similar standard dimensions.

Affordable Units Studio apartments porioritize efficiency through innovative architectural strategies, incorporating features like multi-use furniture and room layouts. In urban settings, the challenge is to maintain rent affordability while delivering aesthetically dignified and functional living spaces.

The Urban "Jungle"

In an effort to enhance Miami's urban landscape and promote ecological diversity, Library Plus reintroduces native Florida vegetation species to an area characterized by few street trees and limited landscaping. The project seeks to revitalize the urban environment by strategically incorporating indigenous plants, trees, and shrubs that are well-adapted to the local climate.
