THE ARCHITECTURE OF WHARVES Re-imagining Portland’s Working Waterfront For The Future Master Thesis | Portland, Maine| Spring 2018

Portland is the largest city in Maine and credited with supporting the state with its working waterfront established back in the 1600s. The cultural identity of Portland is embedded in these working wharves, and represents a constant within an ever-changing city. This thesis is a comprehensive approach to urban planning, waterfront revitalization, and sustainability techniques that forms the revitalization of Center Street, creating a strong connection from the public of downtown Portland, down to the industrial Portland Fish Pier. This thesis is about reconnecting the city and the people with the working waterfront for the future of the city.

SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW

The current sustainability efforts of downtown

Portland posed a challenge for mitigation of possible natural disaster events. The intent of this proposed urban street design is to introduce the following; bioswales for stormwater management, street trees for sun protection, and permeable pavers for water mitigation. The intent behind this is to minimize safe and visually appealing environment while enjoying the many experiences of the Center Street Trees

NEW COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS Bruce Monroe Community Center Graduate Studio| Washington D.C.| Fall 2016

The proposed design aims to create “gateway” that forms a connection between the urban elements of this Washington D.C. neighborhood and the community garden. The garden design is terraced to follow the natural slope of the site. The intent is to incorporate visual connections between interior and exterior to form the natural movement throughout the site and encourage interactions between the garden and event spaces.

As part of the design, sustainability is addresses as a goal for the future of the building.

FLOOR PLAN

BUILDING + GARDEN CONNECTION One of the challenges of this site was how to introduce a community garden into an urban environment and establishing a cohesive connection to the proposed public building while maintaining an openness around the garden for vegetation. The outcome is a celebrated community space that blurs the lines between built and natural environments.

ELEVATIONS

STREET TREES

Provide trees as a form of shading for the building and users in the eastern morning sun and protect the building from overheating to minimize use of HVAC systems.

SHALLOW POOLS

Utilized as a buffer from the busy vehicular street, these pools can be used as a form of biorentention facility to mitigate storm-water and also a visual appeal for pedestrians walking along the sidewalk.

GREEN ROOF

Introduce an intensive green roof system at the event building as a form of storm-water/ roof drainage control technique. This also reduces the “heat island” effect and better regulates the interior environment temp.

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Provide a central air mechanical system with ducts located in the crawlspace area to minimize ceiling interruptions and take advantage of heating from the floor of the building.

BUILDING / SITE SYSTEMS

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM

Incorporate a moment frame system that includes vertical columns + roof trusses to maximize interior spaces and protect the building from unwanted lateral forces. This system is organized spacial as a strong visual connection to the gardens.

NATURAL VENTILATION

Introduce large openings along the east and west elevations of the building to promote natural ventilation and minimize use of the central air systems to save on costs.

SHADING DEVICE

Integrate angled vertical louvers into the west building facade design to control western afternoon sun into the building to protect the users inside and minimize overheating inside the building.

PUBLIC SPACES

The proposed community center building contains crucial public gathering spaces; including a flexible event room, cafe space, and teaching kitchen, that are beneficial to the local neighborhood.

These spaces provide a place of congregation where groups are able to rent and utilize for local functions that celebrate the garden space. By creating a connection to the garden, the cafe and kitchen are able to promote “farmto-table” concepts and introduce local cuisine to the city of Washington D.C. This building is an example of utilizing architecture for the benefit of the people and city for many future generations to come.

THE COMMUNITY BUILDING

Blurring the boundaries between built and natural environment to create an inviting space for the people to connect with the gardens. The outcome is a building that complements the neighborhood.
