PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY C_ABE

Fall 2012 - in collaboration with Megan Sutherland and Stephanie Ziegler

The new College of Architecture and the Built Environment works to unify Philadelphia University’s existing architectural program in a fluid and collaborative manner. It is designed to integrate the multiple disciplines of architecture, interior design, architectural studies, and landscape architecture at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

SEPARATIONbetween curriculum and learning environments

FUNCTIONcurrent spaces overlap in use and do not provide efficient working environments

SUSTAINABILITYnot prevalent throughout campus buildings

PROBLEMS

GOALS

building produces energy as students produce work

building will serve as aneducational model for tectonics and sustainable architecture

engage community

encourage exploration

passive sustainable systems

nodes of collaboration

engage existing campus fabric

The current C_ABE program shows a great amount of overlaps in curriculum in the younger years, but disperses collaboration as the students move up in years.

The current C_ABE program is spread out in multiple buildings from the very North to South ends of the linear PhilaU campus. This separation between majors and years does not allow for cross-collaboration to happen.

Page 7: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY C_ABE

SITE:C_ABE will be located on Philadelphia University’s Main Campus. The building will serve the whole campus by creating a new quad between the existing buildings on campus: the Kanbar Campus Center and DEC. The quad was developed as a way for students to meet outside, share ideas, collaborate on projects, and become inspired through cross-discipline collaboration.

The demolition of the outdated townhouses will foster a site for C_ABE that allows for the best accessibility for both students and visitors. The townhouse site is diagrammed to be the most porous site on Main Campus because of the difficulty of the Henry Ave and School House Lane intersection.

ConCePT_FLUIDITy:There is no distinct fluid motion. Some types of movement impede their obstacles to take the path of least resistance, taking over the space in which it interacts with. With fewer obstacles, these fluid paths move faster, while moving slower with more obstacles. However these fluid paths overcome their obstacles, they eventually overlap and collaborate.

CARVED

FORMED formed obstacles are what’s left over after objects have been carved out

carving of objects allow for penetration of the natural elements into spaces

FAST

flat, open and transparent spaces cause slow movement

change in levels and movement from small to large spaces cause fast movement

DeSIre LIneS:Site studies of where desire lines are laid, site lines are wanted, and site obstacles exist, lead to the carving away of the overall volume. This causes a separation of program and the formation of interior pods.

PHILADELPHIA NETWORKING CENTER

Page 17: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

PHILADELPHIA NETWORKING CENTER

THE PHILADELPHIA NETWORKING CENTER

Spring 2011

The Philadelphia Networking Center is a place where people will come to interconnect with other networking circles. The Center will work to reconnect people back from the digital through physical human interaction.

Page 18: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

PHILADELPHIA NETWORKING CENTER

ForM:The form is a reaction to the rittenhouse Hotel, which is a prominent urban backdrop to the site of the Networking Center on 20th and Walnut, Philadelphia. The hotel creates it’s own axis separate from the rigid Philadelphia street grid and the networking Center follows suit. on Walnut St., the Center retains the adjacent church facade until it is broken by the “new” grid for the entrance.

INSIDE:The interconnecting spaces allow for people to learn, get inspired, create, share, and engage with those of similar interests.

The levels are organized in this process and visitors are encouraged to interact with every level by way of circulation. This will help encourage new connections to occur.

The path of ciruclaiton is constantly turning people around throughout the building and from the top, the skylight acts as the pivot point.

The levels are created based on the program goal, which gets separated by the vertical circulation. This separation of programs on different levels helps to interconnect the spaces inside.

The Philadelphia Networking Center provides its users a chance to meet new people through experiencing interconnecting spaces created by continuous circulation that helps encourage their own inter-connections between their networking circles.

ProGrAM:The commercial spaces are compromised of galleries boutiques, a museum, studios, and cafes. The residential units are either one bedroom, two bedroom, or double-height studio spaces.

The stepped connection to the city from the viaduct contains all commercial spaces, while the residential spaces are set to be on the more private path.

As the bridge reaches closer to the ground, the stepped bays become vegetated areas. This is where people will first encounter the eLevATeD Bridge coming from Center City. This green area is remniscent of the other side of hte bridge, the viaduct, where greenery and open space work to become another layer of urban living: reconnecting parts of the city.

DeTAIL:The truss-tube system used is remniscent of the repetitive trusses that hold up parts of the existing viaduct.

The superstructure of the bridge works alone, but connects the massing units together. The exterior diagrid works to hold the superstructure together and allows for the masses to be built below the viaduct level.

The units are constructed of metal SIPs and exterior glazing that allows for views of the Philadelphia skyline in the west and the Ben Franklin Bridge in the east.

MACA: MOUNT AIRY CENTER FOR THE ARTSFall 2010

Mount Airy Center for the Arts was formed while studying the interaction of the natural elements and determining how the community will interact. Mount Airy is one of the most diversified cities in the country because of the amount of community centers that bring together people of all types of backgrounds.

ONE MOVE: ACTIVATING VACANT LOTS

Page 54: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

oUTDoor CLASSrooM:Lots located by schools will be designed for children to yield an outdoor classroom so they have the opportunity to experience the ecology around them. As they are running around, they will be able to stop to configure space by pushing or pulling block components out of a centralized wall system. The interlocked components can facilitate moments of free play or program. The wall is built up of one component designed to interlock with its adjacent replica to slide back and forth without being pulled out. The lot features a garden and pond with areas of blocks that can be transformed into a market space and a stage with seating for when the class needs to gather.

Page 55: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

ONE MOVE: ACTIVATING VACANT LOTS

Page 56: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

MUrAL ALLey:Mural alley is targeted towards young adults to infill a space of an interior vacant lot on a dense residential block. young adults (13-24) are willing to take risks to discover the new and unfamiliar. In the mural alley, they will configure space to find a spot that is most comfortable for them to express their creativity. It may be above, within, or below the base structure. The space configuration is their choice as they can unlock, shift, and lock-in-place the closed-loop component system. The more people that come here to leave their mark on the walls, the more of a collage the space becomes due to the shifting components that blend together the community’s expressive ideas.

ONE MOVE: ACTIVATING VACANT LOTS

Page 58: Courtney Reid - Undergrad Architecture Portfolio

PICnIC PAvILLIon:The picnic pavillion is designed to target older adults (25+) who have the most experience and can determine how to create comfortable environments for the situation at hand. A corner vacant lot on an inactive commercial road can facilitate space for community gathering. The pavillion can allow for adjustable heights for sitting, eating, and preparing food. The boxes within the grid can be pulled up or down to maintain the idea of a flexible space while fostering the unexpected. each box within the grid has a counterbalanced part. To prevent swaying, the boxes are structured to poles. As one box slides up or down the pole, the other does the opposite as they are connected by a hidden pulley system. The pavillion can be set up for a planned picnic event, or can become abstract for when people want to meet in smaller groups, or enjoy time alone reading the newspaper.

With one move of replacing vacant lots with transformative architecture, we can facilitate space in which one can actively explore learning about the environment, the self, and the community.
