PORTA NUOVA TOWER Milan, Italy Fall 2021 - Design 7

N

The Porta Nuova Tower is a mixed-use development located in Milan, Italy, in the neighborhood of Porta Nuova. The Piazza Gae Aulenti acts as the neighborhood center, containing a strong pedestrian promenade that begins directly at the project’s site location. This walkway bridge between two different blocks of development, putting priority on pedestrians over car traffic.

VIA MIKE BONGIORNO

It was important that the tower’s position and orientation would respect this promenade, as well respond to the geometry of the newer developments surrounding it, as well as the classical Italian architecture in adjacent neighborhoods.

Surrounding the site is a dedicated bike lane with tree lined landscaping, and ample protection for pedestrian and cyclists that meets in the plaza in front of the building. The surrounding streets have street parking for neighborhood residents, and an underground parking garage is located on Via Joe Colombo.

Volume

Structure

Ribcage

Skin

Four primary systems were used as a means of informing the spacial organization of the building: the volume that holds the interior spaces, the structure that gives scale and begins to suggest overall form, and the ribcage and skin that create the overall face and enclosure for the building.

The structure and ribcage systems acted as the DNA of the buildings, influencing the overall form and scale for the building. The tower is a of a core and shell design, with a central void held by the core of the building, and the separated occupied spaces. The structure of the building primarily acts as a means of anchoring the separated volumes of space to the core.

Below ground level there is a robust pile system being used to help support the loads of the entire tower above, with underground space for parking, mechanical and other logistical purposes for the tower.

The skin is used to strategically conceal and reveal certain spaces in the buildings, helping differentiate between private and public spaces, as well as helping direct views towards the sky and the city of Milan.

VOID

Studying how light can fill the void of space in a construct

Studies of bracketed section as a generator for spacial organization

When conducting case studies of different towers it was apparent that the most impactful space of a tower to the public is its first floor and lobby. As a building that served both public and private amenities it was important to think about the entrance as a means of drawing one in while still feeling secure.

Commercial

Circulation Private

In many public buildings the use of a so called “cave-effect” can induce a positive experience for people entering a building by providing a wide buffer between the elements and the entrance of a building. The large overhangs that span over the buildings primary entries helps provide a sense of security and protection from the sun on hot days and rain and snow on colder ones, providing a more pleasant exterior space for occupants.

Different iterations of sections were created as a means of informing the building’s overall multi-level spacial organization. It was important that in this view the relationship between the exterior form and interior spaces are shown, as well as show the relationship of the volumes, structure, ribcage, and skin to one another.

When designing the first floor lobby, it was important to create amenities that could serve the local neighborhood as well as tenants of the building, by providing a food hall on one end, and a more private cafe and seating area for tenants of the building. While both are available to the public, the central core helps divide the two spaces to act independently of each other.

The lobby of the hotel and commercial spaces was intended to allow visitors to be able to view upwards through the central void and have light from above reflect inward, creating a light well. This would allow the central part of the building to still receive natural light depending on the time of day, while avoiding direct bright sunlight.

REGOLA NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER A neighborhood focused on sustainability and community

Rome, Italy Fall 2021 - Design 7

The neighborhood of Regola is one of Rome’s finest centers for cuisine and artisanry shops, located directly adjacent to the Tiber River, and in close proximity to historically significant areas such as the Vatican City, as well as the Pantheon.

The primary objective of the project was to convert an unused site into a master plan for a community neighborhood that would host multi-family housing in addition to a public building that could host a Herbareum where the rich agrarian history of Rome and the culinary significance of the neighborhood could be celebrated. The building would also hold agricultural research laboratories for future study and development of growing plants in harsher climates and environments.

The first stage of the project was understanding existing residential communities in Italy. Two primary cities were investigated, the first being a neighborhood in Mestre with the M9 Museum by Sauerbruch Hutton serving as the primary monument of the public space. The second was a neighborhood in Vicenza, a modest project with that consisted mainly of residential buildings with some commercial spaces on the first floors of the building. Understanding the densities of each of the spaces and ways the architects designed to solve the problems of the given areas was the main priority.

Afterwards a massing proposal was made for the site of the project. Here the distribution of the public vs private spaces was calculated, as well as values such the floor to area ratio to understand what an appropriate density would be and understand the relative size of the existing buildings in the site, so that the proposed project could respond to it appropriately.

PUBLIC SPACE Using monument and fabric to hold a public space

The public plaza at the center of the complex is to be used for local community events and markets where fresh produce can be bought and sold to the community in Regola, helping the local restaurants and businesses with a fresh supply of sustainably sourced food, as well as help create a new interest in botany and other forms of growing plants to urban dwellers with the Herbareum directly adjacent.

Volumes

There are two primary public spaces in the project, the first being the large square created by the monument building and surrounding residential, while the secondary is a partially enclosed public space. The exterior public space is primarily for holding large events and activities, and can serve multiple uses as the community sees fit. Here the terraces of the residential buildings can be prominently seen, where the neighborhood can see the sustainability projects that the site will hold, primarily the rooftop gardens for each residential building.

The second public space is an enclosed canopy that can protect occupants year around from harsh temperatures and weather and able to host its own indoor events. The space could be partially opened or closed, acting as a greenhouse that would allow natural sunlight in while being able to regulate temperatures for hosting events or research by the adjacent laboratories. This multi-use space could begin a collaboration between private and public use and engage with the community more.

M O N U M E N T VS F A B R I C Understanding the different languages of systems between public and private buildings

In this project the monument is what draws people into the public space, while the fabric is where the people in the community will occupy. The primary objective of the project was to understand the relationship between fabric and monument, and understand that the method of designing a monumental building is different then the residential spaces.

The Herbarium acts as the monument of this site, an attractor to outsiders towards the center of the complex, where the rich history of agriculture and botany in Rome can be celebrated. The monument is what holds the public space, where community events and many other activities can be hosted. The residential buildings have a view on to the public space as well, encouraging the space to be multi-use by both the private and public.

BARRINGTON REFUGE: PERMEABLE LIVING Barrington, Rhode Island Spring 2022 - Design 8 Honors Thesis

The Barrington Refuge is located in Barrington, Rhode Island, a city that is projected to see increases in flooding and loss of land from rising sea levels in the next one hundred years. The project’s site is on an elevated plot of land safe from the projected sea level rise, yet it is still prone to hurricanes, nor’easters, and other storm systems, which will require a comprehensive approach in order to make the site resilient to the most extreme scenarios projected within the next one hundred years, as well as provide a possible refuge to the community from increases in natural disasters due to climate change.

Retain water on-site

Protect homes from strong winds

Maintain coastal view

Create living zones on site

The site typography has an elevation change of forty feet from the highest to lowest points on the land, which gave opportunities to introduce bioswales, marshlands, and green space as a method of storm-water management, as well as helping increase the biodiversity of the site by providing habitat for a larger range of plant and animal species.

The first phase involved investigations of water drainage of the site, wind direction and tree canopy coverage, as well as overall view corridors. These investigations helped inform locations of bioswales for water retention on site, which also serve as seeds to create micro ecosystems that can create biophilic connections with living spaces. In addition this helped inform type and quantity of tree cover to best protect the site from natural weather events and maintain a coastal view of the ocean.

SITE PROPOSAL Following the site analysis, the primary organization of the townhouse units were focused around the bioswales which were developed where water could be naturally collected, and the duplex units focused on the primary view corridor towards the ocean.

The roads that connect the units have the most organized and orderly layout, while the housing units that connect to them deviate and orient themselves to the primary views, with the walking paths having the most informal and most loose layout, allowing residents to meander throughout the forests and bioswales and explore the nestled community in a natural way.

The trees act as a natural buffer from the harsh elements that would occur during storms such as cold and high speed winds. To the north evergreen trees will provide year round protection from cold northerly winds while southern edges are primarily deciduous so that during winter sun can passively heat the units.

Vegetation

Site

The neighboring community to the site consists of single family homes on large one acre lots, and therefore the density is quite less then the proposed development. In order to mediate this stark difference in both ideas of density, community, and sense of scale, the units on the site are no more then two to three stories tall, so as to not tower over the existing neighborhood.

In addition, the units are nestled within mass plantings of local trees and plants, and with their adjacent bioswales, they are masked from the view of the neighboring houses, allowing a sense of privacy for these shared multifamily houses and for the single family houses that are already existing.

This sense of privacy is beneficial as it allows the occupants of the site to be completely immersed in the biophilic systems in place, including the trails that meander inside and out the forests, and around the bioswales, giving complete access and view to all the natural systems the site has to offer.

10

GROUND CONDITIONS Following the site studies and overall plan of the community, the next phase of the project consisted of a deep analysis of the local ground conditions with sectional studies of the soil showing the different layers of the soil, representing its different qualities in permeability, nutrient capacity, as was as water retention. The ground was abstracted into two different categories: ground as a material, and as a system.

There are three primary types of soil: sand, silt, and clay. Sand is the largest particle size, following with silt and then the smallest being clay. This has an inverse correlation with water and nutrient holding capacity, with the larger particle sizes such as sand not being able to hold as much nutrients or water as smaller sizes such as silt and clay. Most of the soil on the site is a mix of silt and sand, with the addition of even larger particles sizes such as gravel in the deeper parts of the soil.

Loam is a mixture of clay silt and sand soil that tends to have a balance of drainability while also being able to hold water and nutrients sufficient for propagation of plants and crops, and is highly desirable for agricultural purposes.

Gravel and sandy soil is excellent for drainage and can be used to allow water to percolate into the natural water table, and is highly desirable to navigate water to areas with this type of soil to prevent standing water accumulating.

Clay soils have poor drainage, and can be problematic for building on due to its high water retention especially in climates with freezing temperatures. In addition trees are at higher risk in these areas to fall during storms given the high compactability of soil, and inability for roots to anchor deeply in the soil.

The site of the project contains mostly silt, sand, and gravel, making this site excellently drained while also containing enough loam and silt to be able to support a healthy vegetated ecosystem. Preventing compaction of the rich loamy soil layers while taking advantage of the drainability of the lower depths of the soil can be beneficial in keeping water on site, while also being able to support habitat for local plant and animal species.

11

Physical models were developed as a means of abstracting the ground soil, and interpreting it as an architectural element with systems that could be intervened into and used as a means of informing the below ground structural systems.

In nature, ground consists of systems including plant roots which give structure to the soil, as well as habitat to millions of bacteria and fungi which break down organic matter and convert nitrogen from the air into usable nutrients for the plants to absorb.

In many ways soil can be seen as a dynamically changing underground ecosystem that has a direct effect on the above ground health of trees and other plant species. In a similar way structural foundations have an immense importance towards the health and safety of the built environment.

Architects and engineers already intervene in soil systems with introduction of drainage for storm water, as well as lines for utilities, telecommunications, and clean drinking water. The goal of these model studies were to help create a physical interpretation of where these architectural and natural systems would intersect.

This helped lead to the development of a section study where elements of the matrix of structure and ground in the model were used to inform the gesture of the model. Given the fact that construction often leads to soil compaction and loss of biodiversity, the idea behind the section was to split the ground in two, where the architecture could sit between two layers of soil, and prevent interruption to the landscape and provide habitat in the same footprint of the building.

In addition lessons from the physical models were used to create a system between the drainage and structural systems, as well as play to the strengths of the sites well draining soil.

Given the material qualities of the ground, the next phase of the project was to begin viewing the ground as a system that the architecture of the community could intervene. Ground consists of systems including plant roots which give structure to the soil, as well as habitat to millions of bacteria and fungi which break down organic matter and convert nitrogen from the air into usable nutrients for the plants to absorb.

Insects and other animals also inhabit the ground and create burrows and nests which help aerate the soil which can increase drainage and overall health of the ecosystem. The health of this system is vital in keeping the health of the trees stable, which can increase resilience towards storm systems and stressors such as drought and changes in rainfall, as well as animals that are depending on these plants and underground creatures as a source of food and shelter.

To prevent loss of biodiversity and adversely changing the underground ecosystem, buffer zones using gravel and sand to transition between the built environment and the natural, help discourage water and micro-organisms from accumulating directly near the structure of the building, and help reduce soil compaction and allow the ground to remain more porous to allow the natural systems to remain relatively unaffected by the built structure.

WINTER PARK LIBRARY Downtown Winter Park Spring 2021 - Design 6

The Winter Park Library is located south of the central park in Downtown Winter Park, FL. The primary goal of the library is to serve both local residents and visitors of the city, and act as a new hub cities town center, creating a place where public events can be held, as well as providing free resources to residents, including access to private study spaces, business meeting centers, as well as a conference center where concerts, presentations and other local business and public events can be hosted.

The new plaza to the north of the building serves as a threshold between the park, the commercial businesses, and the train station that surround the library, and provide an outdoor public space that can also be used to hold outdoor events and other public uses.

In addition, the plaza serves as a celebration of the cities founders as well as the history behind the founding of Winter Park’s first original library.

The goal of the interior and exterior public spaces of the library is to reflect the city’s rich culture and past, and to serve the community in a new digital age, by introducing a new and modern approach to design and construction of spaces to the downtown area of Winter Park, allowing it to remain as a relevant cultural hub for years to come.

Using circulation as a means of introducing light to the center of the building

Organization of interior spaces revolves around circulating the interior voids that form the two primary atrium spaces, one that is created by the boundary of the books section, the other where the cafe occupies.

Use of large open spaces, and allowing natural sunlight in from above, helps create an open, natural space for people to occupy in, and as one circulates the building they are always involved with the activities in the interior spaces.

PRIVATE

Creating a welcoming space that also allows for privacy in the interior

The exterior envelope of the building consists of sunshades that guard the upper level windows from sunlight during specific times of the day, and allow only diffused indirect sunlight into the building, helping regulate the internal temperature and lighting passively. Only specific extrusions that break this primary system have exposed glass, including the main book areas in the interior, where natural light is supplied to reduce dependence on artificial lighting systems, as well as enhance the openness of the interior spaces.

The building is oriented towards the public space to the north, which allows the front of the building to have an open glass facade, while the rear of the building can benefit from passive shading form adjacent buildings. This also allows occupants of the building to have an unobstructed view of the public plaza to the north, as well as the ability to privately view business activity occurring on the nearby streets, giving a sense of inclusivity in everything occurring around the building.

The Daytona City Center is a proposed mixed use project located in Daytona Beach, FL. The site is adjacent to a new river front esplanade, hosting waterfront views, a new government center, as well as mixed use buildings with residential, commercial and retail spaces.

This early design proposal consisted of massing studies and eventually a preliminary render to visualize a potential new hub in the center of Daytona’s downtown area. Design goals were to create an improved government center and public space that could host important community events and spur further investment in the surrounding community, and help improve the deteriorating infrastructure and unused land in the surrounding area.

Note: All work displayed on this page was designed and created by Harrison Ryan under the supervision of the project manager Christian MacCarroll

23

The project consists of two primary towers that face toward the riverfront esplanade, that each hold residential, commercial, and retail spaces. In addition the towers host rooftop restaurants, and private amenities and terraces for residential units that allow for spanning views of the city and river. The towers help shape the promenade into the main center of the complex, that holds the new government center.

In this complex the existing justice center would be renovated and additions would be added to help host more courtrooms and office space for government positions, helping create a more centralized city government center, and help foster densification of the downtown area.

The surrounding streets would also be improved to help foster more bike friendly travel, as well as pedestrian traffic, with traffic calming designs, such as lane reductions, introduction of more crosswalks and dedicated bike lanes. With the mixed use of residential, retail, and commercial, various activities can constantly be hosted in the complex throughout the year, creating a stronger image for the city of Daytona, and promote a more sustainable city plan.

As an intern at Song + Associates, Inc, I was tasked with designing a building for the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County that would serve as the primary supply store for donations to teachers in K-12 schools.

Requirements would be that the space could serve 4 primary goals, host a large warehouse that could support the operations of the organization, an administrative and volunteer management area for projects and events, a large multipurpose space separable into 3 rooms, and a store area where supplies for teachers could be presented.

Primary goal in the design was to create a welcoming entrance that felt natural and lively, while remaining simple and minimalistic to remain conscious of the budget of a non profit organization.
