Architectural Designer

About me

My name is Timothy (Ned) Burg, and I grew up in Bayville, NJ. After exploring both architecture and engineering in high school I went into college undecided about what I wanted to pursue. After a year away from drawing and designing I found myself wanting to switch back to architecture, doing so at Brookdale Community College. From then on, I have had the opportunity to work with two great residential architecture firms in New Jersey and have since moved on to working with a fantastic team at Core States Group working on commercial projects such as higher education, restaurant chains, and large retail stores. Outside of the world of architecture, I love to participate in a variety of activities such as golf, soccer and running. I also have a passion for traveling and exploring other cultures as I have already started with England, Germany, and Ireland. And I have already planned to go to Italy in September after graduating to continue to experience other cultures. I love exploring how things are made and solutions to problems both inside and outside of architecture.

PROJECTS

Cabin Competition

The cabin completion, run by Thomas Jefferson University in fall 2020 was assigned to take an already designed cabin and remodel the building and repurpose it to fit the conditions along the Schuykill river in Philadelphia. Detailing the structure with little knowledge was the main challenge of the design while finding the way to best represent the most important parts of how it functions.

Cabin Competition

Philadelphia, PA

This modern day hut placed alongside of the Schuylkill River was originally designed for the central west of New South Wales. Designed to accommodate 1-2 guests the building has a minimal footprint. The first floor consists of a sink and a wood fired slow combustion stove, along with a bed on the second floor accessed by a ladder.

International Border Competition

The International Border Competition takes aim at how architects can intervene in designing boarders that affect political, geological, social and other boundaries. Completed as a group project during the spring of 2021 semester our group focused on future what future boarders will look like and how we can best accommodate the needs of many different cultures.

International Border Competition

New York City, NY

Throughout the years, technology has advanced to a point where portals can be used for temporal regeneration. Using these portals, transportation hubs called “time ports” were created to bridge a divide between countries utilizing the time zones throughout the world. Located on Governors Island is a time port for the -5 time zone. This port connects to 15 other countries within the -5 range. The ports include shops and restaurants of the different cultures, and create community areas where people from around the world can mix and mingle. With this, people can now reconnect with there families instantaneously.

E-Waste Recovery Center

The E-Waste recovery center was a project completed in during my third year at Thomas Jefferson University. With all the new technologies that come out every year there is a need to turn in old products. This projects takes on the task of recycling materials from old technology and re-purposing products that can still be used for those who can’t afford new products.

E-Waste Recovery Center

Los Angles, CA

With the growth of new electronics being produced and bought, there is a high supply of electronics that are being thrown away to waste. Creating a necessity for a proper way of disposal and relocation of materials from these electronics. The recovery center is set along one of Los Angeles’ highly traveled freeways, the Marina Expressway. Flanked on one side by commercial buildings and residential on the other.

The Nest

The Nest at 933 is a commercial mixed use building located along Philadelphia’s waterfront. The building serves the community of Northern Liberties, it provides a coffee shop and small boutiques. As well as the commercial spaces the area also offers public access to the waterfront through the pier connected to the building. The building offers residents of the building a private gym, a large lounge space, a raised roof deck and other amenities. The building and site work together to create a junction of where the water and greenery meet, allowing pedestrians to participate in the confluence happening without completely controlling the viewers perspective.

Partner: Joseph Falcone

The Nest

With analyzing the site, the concept of confluence became the catalyst for design. Inspiring from the flow of river where it meets from its branches coming from different ecosystems carrying lots of flora and fauna and becoming the most prominent corridor in landscape and the flow restricted also allowed through natural interventions. This ecological corridor is being connected to lots of patches, matrix, and mosaics. Taking advantage of the site being juxtaposed to the water, we re-established the water/land connection and combine them for seamless opportunities. Pushing, pulling, and reacting to the site allowed the building and piers to become apparent and house pre-existing paths and new connections. We discovered opportunities to embrace the origins of the environment by erasing the hard edge between land and sea. Taking cues from the river’s natural amounts, i.e., preserving the ecology and inhabitants who dwell along its route. This concept will be included in our design by incorporating specific components that will provide a sense of direction towards the site, blurring the line separating land and sea.

Wellness City Planning

The Wellness city plan is designed to enhance the lives of the population of Long Island City in New York. Being located just between the Anable basin and the Queensboro Bridge the site offers many opportunities such as connecting Queensbridge Park to Gentry Plaza State Park. While the main uses for the buildings will be for medical offices and some residential use, creating a walkable riverfront that connects back into the urban fabric and promoting outdoor spaces is vital to how nature integrates with the population’s overall health.

Wellness City Planning

NY

While the demand for change in the urban environment changes everyday with the issues of climate change combated with new technologies, we must begin to solve issues and design in advance to mitigate issues that would arise. In evaluating the context of our site we found it to be essential to design in preparation of flooding and enhance the environment. Integrating green infrastructure into the urban fabric allows for the creation of healthier living situations and maximizes the open space available for use. The overall ecological enhancement to our site will increase the lifestyle, wellness, and activities available to the residents of Long Island City.
