SIBLEY PLAZA REDEVELOPMENT

PATRICK CIPRIANO INFORMANTS OF CREATING SPACE: PROFESSORS JAMES WHEELER + KRISTINE MILLER SPRING 2019

This studio worked with Hennepin County, Minnesota, to understand potential intersections and public spaces for the proposed streetcar along St. Paul’s West 7th from downtown to the MSP airport. This project brings the streetcar into the site to bring the station off the street and increase foot traffic for the commercial units.

The streetcar track and station are then brought into the site and set in between the two buildings of the mall. A series of geometric framing is added to create the station and added infrastructure across the site. This framing will elevate paths, create pockets of vegetation, promote pedestrian usage, and transform the current parking lot into a site devoted to pedestrians.

By removing the residential form from the right side of the west building, sunlight was still able to penetrate the vegetated semi-private courtyard.

The current site is a neglected parking lot using most of the space for concrete hardscapes. Introducing vegetation and pedestrians as a focus, the site is reinvigorated to become an interest along the West 7th corridor.

THE HILL

Topography

The Breathing Hill looked at the Maggie’s Center in Glasgow done by OMA and considered what design changes would be made if the building was put in a Minneapolis climate.

Open Courtyard

Clerestory

Sloped Roof

In relation to the 2030 Palette, strategies for the Minneapolis climate were iterated to look for a mix of strategies to intersect with biophilic patterns.

The open and terraced form increases the South facing facade to maximize sunlight while still keeping the form of the OMA programatic design.

Terraced Form

Elongated Form

Open + Terraced

Pattern 01: Visual Connection with Nature. By creating a green courtyard in front of the building, there is an immersion in nature.

Pattern 12: Refuge.

In tucking the form into the topography the occupants have a solid mass to ground themselves to and create a sense of safety.

Pattern 11 Prospect.

The double-glass facade on the second floor, perched just above the trees guides the user to see out over the courtyard.

Pattern 13: Mystery.

The insertion of a skylight shows glimpses of grass, and activity from the interactive topography, inspiring curiousity of what is above.

COMPLEX HOUSING

PATRICK CIPRIANO COMPLEX HOUSING STUDIO: PROFESSOR JULIA ROBINSON SPRING 2019

Complex housing design, modeled after the Dutch complex housing style has an emphasis on courtyard space. This design uses the building mass to create two east/west oriented green spaces along circulation corridors. The arms of the building plan and the inclusion of an interior building overpass maximize sunlight while provoking movement across the site.

Greenway

Traffic

Circulation

Green Space

The greenway and circulation corridors on the site promote public movement east and west across the site creating main pedestrian intersections and access to Surly Brewing Company, east-adjacent to the site. Green spaces integrated into the site along the circulation corridors encourage movement and reiterate the open use of the courtyard to residents and pedestrians.

Row House

Commercial

Flat

Maisonette

Skip-Stop

Penthouse

The variety of unit types on the site allow for a multitude of users and affordabilities. The mix of units, users, and programs create a community within the realm of a single buiding site. Commercial units and connections across the site along the site add to this community by inviting movement through and across.

As an installation into a design of Cedric Price’s Fun Palace, Meat and Greet is a slaughterhouse that reveals industrial slaughter through interaction and socialization. Intersections of animals, visitors, and employees allows the process of slaughter to be understood at a personal level.

Initial iterative form models began by creating an environment that housed a slaughter house. This transitioned into looking at the slaughter house a strict and linear representation of slaughter processes.

The shift from looking along the process, to intersections within it lead to the final form which created a cube around an open public area. A cube design examined the slaughterhouse as not a compact mass and idea, but rather as an intimate changing experience for visitor engagement.

Visitors and animals wind their way up a structure surrounding an open theater area. The inner area would allow for the rest and views of auction.

Interactions within the slaughterhouse would only be visible once inside the apparatus.
