NEIGHBORHOOD HABITAT Winter 2019 10 Weeks Instructor: Simon Tickell
The Neighborhood Habitat focused on the development of the 3700 Haverford Avenue site to revitalize the Mantua neighborhood. The mixed-used building contains a grocery on the first floor and four-story apartment above. The grocery store serves as a focal point in the neighborhood as there is no local food source within walking distance. The development of a supermarket will gather people from around the neighborhood. The apartments above could serve any West Philadelphia residents. The mixture of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, and various pockets of gathering spaces provide many opportunities for residents to socialize, while still having giving each resident the privacy they need. The pinwheel plan with pockets of space carved out from the hallways break away from the linear corridors typically seen in apartments. This carving of the hallways allow residents to not feel like they’re walking down a long corridor, but through a variety of smaller spaces while they look down the atrium.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL ROWHOME Fall 2018 10 Weeks Instructor: Rachel Schade
The Multi-Generational Rowhome Project began with historical and precedent research on multigeneration and rowhomes. This focused on understanding the needs of a multigenerational family and the program of rowhomes. After going through different schemes, the final rowhouse has a main unit for the second- and third- generation and a secondary unit for the first generation. In between the units are the stairs, to centralize circulation and divide the first generation from the latter generations. This division gives the first generation the privacy they need from the younger generations, but also connects the entire family. The secondary unit could potentially be rented out to people as a shared living space if there are no individuals occupying the area.

THE BOATHOUSE Spring 2018 10 Weeks Instructor: Jacklynn Niemiec
The inspiration for the design was joinery. The boathouse can be seen as thirds: the center circulation, the side of rowing sport, and the side of academic support. These elements are connected to Philadelphia City Rowing’s mission to empower children through academics and athletics, giving children a place to learn while leading healthy lives. The rowing sport side of the boathouse is oriented towards the Schuylkill River to immerse the rowers more with the water. The academic support is oriented towards the Kelly Drive road where the students could study and learn without the clamoring of the rowers. A special moment is created when the river floods due to excess rainfall and surrounds the academic support side of the boathouse; it is an experience intended to be an relaxing and refreshing scene.

MASS TO FORM Winter 2019 6 Weeks Instructor: Cheryl Hu
Mass to Form focused on spatial operation combinations by using various operative words. Analog diagrams were developed into digital diagrams, before turning the final mass into a digital model with its own unique site and a physical model. The final step was to create and render a Revit model. The operative words chosen were “offset” and “twist,” creating a double helix mass. The physical model, first designed in Rhino, was made from stacked, laser-cut cardboard. The site shows various curves of context buildings and the solar study.

SCARPA DETAIL Spring 2018 3 Weeks Instructor: Adrienne Grande
The project aimed observe and draw a plan and section of a Scarpa detail. Using the observations and similar elements of the top detail, the bottom detail was designed with similar features. The depth was determined by the layering of the steps, which was a vital and complex part of the detail. To keep its complexity, the steps onto the bottom side side. The flat planes were placed where the top was complex, allowing for a calmer feature. The model, developed through sketches, was made digitally in Rhinoceros 6 and used as a template to laser-cut a physical model. The final product resembled a ziggurat.
