CLASON POINT MARKET TERMINAL This collection of rooms houses three fluid and vibrant programs: ferry terminal, market, and kitchen incubator. Beyond these varied programs, the rooms house lecture halls, exercise studios, event spaces, computer resources, and a library anchor the community already here. These rooms arrange and coalesce to encapsulate the figures of several outdoor rooms dedicated to the market and other transitory events. The overlapping and converging rooms start to blur boundaries, overlapping and blending into a vibrant microcosm of the city. Fall 2017 Prof. Aniket Shahane

BUSHWICK PUBLIC LIBRARY This public library for Bushwick wedges a familiar civic form into a sharp triangle, creating a challenging mix of familiarity, surprise, authoritative symbol, and subversion. The concrete exterior forms a symbolic target for the graffiti-happy neighborhood, but is juxtaposed against the interior bookcase bay system. Voids within the bookcase bays creates a fluid collection of spaces for family and community resources - the same resources that anchor Bushwick against the gentrification heralded by the commercializing of street art. Fall 2016 Prof. Brennan Buck

COHAB PREFAB This panelized house accommodates a small family and an individual. The house is divided by a pinwheeling panelized storage walls that contain utilities, storage, work surfaces, and stairs. The house panels are designed to be long and narrow, matching the dimensional restrictions of a truck, reducing the number of seams, and allowing the panels to be tilted into position from the ground. Multiple houses are arranged in clusters on the site, providing conditions that can be matched to the varying needs of sociability or seclusion for the formerly homeless clients.

The dimensions of panelization are suited to a truck: long and narrow. The panels, tilted into place, double as the structure and the furnishings for the house. The balancing of domestic spatial needs with logistical spatial needs makes this house uniquely efficient.

Regional seed library
SCIENCE HILL SEED VAULT The seed vault for New Haven functions as a regional seed library, dispensing seeds for both Figure ground and aesthetic pursuits to academics and productive 1”=100’-0” locals. The vault is imagined as a nested series of boundaries, separating the site into zones of scale and germination methods. The outermost layer is the forest, followed by terraced planter beds, then the vault and facilities, and the inner aquatic plant sanctum. The two planting areas are used for the replenishment of the seed library, while the facility is designed for seed processing and storage. Fall 2016 Prof. Brennan Buck

ARTISAN PAPER MILL This paper mill is organized functionally and tectonically. The industrial processes of paper making are indexed against their material counterparts in the structure and cladding of the mill, with the wet processes sequenced along the concrete base, and the drying process elevated to a material finished of the ceiling, playing against aperture and thinness of the cladding. This coordination became analogous with rockpaper-scissors, describing the substructuresuperstructure-cladding division of its assembly. Winter 2010 Prof. Jennifer Dee

JIM VLOCK BUILDING PROJECT This house was designed and constructed by the Yale School of Architecture for Columbus House, a Homeless Shelter in New Haven. It is a two-unit house for an individual and a small family. The design features inhabitable “cowl� bay windows for light and to organize the facade. The house and cowls were designed to be prefabricated, segmented and shipped by truck. My responsibilities included detailing and developing the cowl boxes and coordinating them with both roof and wall panels as well as the window package. Spring 2017 PM Adam Hopfner YSOA class of 2019

VISUALIZATION Thinking through drawing and making has resulted in so many intriguing projects over the past two years that they are approaching a body of work in and of themselves. Experiments include triangulating the lattice of the Beinecke library (1), inscribing a hexagon onto an infinite periodic minimal surface (above), developing sequential compositional plan diagrams (4), bending aluminum into doubly curved surfaces through segmentation (2), exploring the inhabitation of the minimal surface lattice (3), and inventing a section generator through the mash-up of existing buildings (5, 6). Ongoing 2018 Profs. Kent Bloomer, Peter de Bretteville
