THE RED BRICK ROAD

Ribhav Murria | Portfolio | Spring 2023

THE RED BRICK ROAD Hart Island - a beautifully sad story to be told. A story of how New York doesn’t want you to know that the island exists. A story of the people that were sent to the island to die. A story of the workers who slaved away their lives.

A story of mothers who don’t have access to their children's graves. A narrative that we intend to change. Change it to a story where this island is known for what it was, what it is, and what it will be. It will be a place where you can walk the path many did, including the workers in the shoe factory, the nurses in the mental hospital, the pastors at the church, the prisoners digging trenches for mass graves. A path that leads you through those spaces using glass tunnels through the church and the shoe factory, excavated trenches across the island, continuing through the graves with flower fields in remembrance of those lost. The red brick path brings you to a tower north of the island, that is seen by one and all, and is exactly opposite to what New York desires, and a shadow box south of the island as a place of solitude, and office spaces in the center of the island, hidden, leading you underground to experience what it’s like to be a part of the rich history that is Hart Island.

THE VISITOR CENTER The intention behind repurposing the visitor center is to have a welcoming space, that is also a good representation of what the roots of the island are. With a broken facade, we plan on adding THE VISITOR CENTER glass to the broken corners, to emphasize the brokenness of the place itself.

MONTESSORI SCHOOL The project is an elementary school, with montessori principles, and the design plan was an evolution of taking the five principles of Montessori and seeing them in plan, and making a community space for students to interact in more ways then one. The natural elevation change in the site is also considered, and the section shows how the building is on a slope melding into its natural surroundings.

The project explored an architectural experience through different mediums in the form of a collage, including screenprinting, embossing, painting, and more.

PLAN

An architectonic construct, and a study of materials and corners, in how you turn a corner, and how that changes how one experiences a space. The materials used, including the wood, concrete, and metal enhances the question of three, with interraction between the materials. The wood, cut at a 45 degree angle forms new planes.
