Rylie Schoch

I am a graduate at University of Maryland pursuing a Masters of Architecture. I can’t remember a time I didn’t want to be an architect and have always loved design as well as math and spent much of my time developing these skills in order to follow my dream career. With developing interests in sustainable practices, building structures, and computational form finding, I continue to find new subjects to drive my passion for architecture forward.

Outside of my studies I continue to practice art in more traditional forms - painting, drawing, and ceramics. I also have great love for music and you will often see me doing my work while humming along to a tune. rcschoch01@gmail.com

Mission District Market and Living in collaboration with Rees Jones The Mission District Market and Living is design to evolve with the community it serves. This is achieved through highly flexible shared social spaces and living units individual users can controls.

A system for producing apartment units that are each unique is created. By breaking down the typical living spaces into modules, varying apartment units can be configured and reconfigured while retaining their functionality. This process yields numerous potential configurations while minimizing the work necessary to design ‘custom’ units. With a pallet of unique, yet regulated, unit forms, a larger composition is made by methods of aggregation including stacking, bundling, and interlocking.

Single, double, and triple units are denoted in facade with color and seam orientation. The seams and mullions continue through glazing and wrap corners to allow units to read as a whole object within a greater composition.

Where neighbor adjacencies are a concern, clerestory windows and fritting are used to maintain privacy while allowing maximum light.

Through coding the units, each tenant gains the ability to identify their individual home

from interior and exterior creating a more personalized experience.

Considering the climate of the Mission District in San Francisco, the project is able to provide an open air, flexible space for the community.

Formally, the project invites local pedestrians and bike-riders into the main atrium space, where various community events can occur such as farmer’s markets, concerts, and conventions. The market provides a connection between the adjacent streets, further drawing those passing by into the space to explore.

To achieve the most flexibility, dynamic ‘popup’ stalls comprise the market floor. Each stall can rise 10’ out of the ground creating occupiable space both above and below. While each stall acts independently, users can be creative in connecting any number of stalls to achieve their desired configuration. Where the residential aspect of the project creates unique experiences for tenants, the same mindset is applied to the areas of community interaction.

School of Film and Media Ar ts The Tube: School of Film and Media Arts, located on the Flat’s West Bank is an adaptive reuse project that learns to combine new and old by taking inspiration from the surrounding city of Cleveland. It mimics the patterns of urban growth and how new and old infrastructure combine to create a singular, cohesive environment.

These ideas of unity are especially important as the decision was made to use three separate buildings. They created the perfect parallel to the various neighborhoods divided throughout Cleveland whether it be by the Cuyahoga River or busy highways and to study how the city handled their interactions.

The main inspiration comes from the Main Ave Bridge that flies overhead, dominating the site. A similar sky bridge is used connect three separate building.

New masses emerge from this central artery of circulation growing around the existing but also breaking some of the grid to take advantages of the views to the skyline and lake shore. The exterior of the site is designed to draw people towards the building taking into account the 12

various modes of transportation. Pathways extend from the entrances to the East for pedestrians as well as to the West for those coming by automobile or bus.

A color changing facade both emphasizes the differences between old and new while also helping to unify the three buildings and their original completely separate materials. The bright colors used refer to the street art and murals adjacent to the site. Controlled by LED lights, they change and shift to help announce to the public the current events of the school.

This building does not attempt to copy the existing. Instead it is designed to respect the old and new as independent parts.

Even as they contrast each other strongly, they find ways to unite as a singular, cohesive, entity. This not only applies to the forms of the structure, but also to the users as it provides a space for a variety of people to learn and collaborate.

The Reveal: NBI East Coast Headquarters

in collaboration with Sarah Jane Graven Nestled at the intersection of architectural innovation and ecological consciousness, the new NBI Headquarters stands as a testament to the transformative power of cutting-edge technology in both design and building sciences. Exposed mechanical systems, informative exhibits, and interactive spaces drive the main goal of dismantling the traditional barriers that separate the complete architectural process from the public eye.

Located in Kensington, Maryland, the site provides a unique opportunity for a strong relationship between the local businesses and residents. Near a historical district, preservation, community involvement, and active parks and green spaces are just some of the important ideals of this neighborhood. Adjacency to the MARX train station also brings 20 visitors not just from Kensington, but throughout the DC area.

Through regular energy modeling and analysis, the efficiency of the building was considered throughout the design process. Passive strategies are thoroughly explored before choosing active systems.

Although an uncommon system for a mixed humid climate, radiant floor heating and cooling in combination with a DOAS for humidity control and ventilation proves to be the most energy efficient with the decided form.

Renewable energy sources of solar and geothermal make it possible to achieve net-zero energy consumption.

ENERGY MODELING AND BIOCLIMATIC STRATEGIES

The use of advanced building systems in a simple, yet graceful form allow them to shine. The integration of aesthetics and practicality serves as an example that extremely sustainable design is not only possible in noncomplex applications, but that it should be pursued.

Built in Reefscape A Thesis Work in Progress

Coastal habitats like the highly biodiverse coral reefs face threats such as pollution, collisions, and increased CO2 levels causing ocean acidification. These concerns are intensified or initiated by human activities and are influenced by a long history of seeing the ocean as a foreign world too vast to be affected by our actions. Coastal marine environments are foundational for the survival of all living things on Earth, and coral reef restoration improves the health of the planet and creates much needed empathy and understanding that humans need to take better care of the greater marine environment.

This thesis will ask how architecture can contribute to the efforts of rebuilding coral reefs through highly adaptable, mineral-based materials and construction systems? And how can studying and designing for coral reefs teach the discipline of architecture?
