...amongst several other variables. It is an art form that is only fully under-stood once it is experienced. When designing architecture I strive to create just that, an experience. Throughout my architectural education I have approached the result of this experience through various methods.

I have come to understand the importance of the process behind design and how it should slowly become something intuitive and not contrived. By doing this I hope to not only create a memora-ble experience for the places inhabited but also to also positively reflect our society and culture.

Architecture is the thoughtful shaping of space, capturing of light, and enveloping of sound...

Through these things architec-ture begins to tell a story over time, and as a society, our role in that narrative plays an important part towards the future.

This design studio concentrated on the ways in which a building’s site and environmental context influence architectural design. Like a script pre-pares an actor for a new role, a site prepares a building for a new environ-ment that is sensitive to its surround-ings.

Located on Whitemarsh Island, Georgia, just over the bridge from Savannah, the site sits on dense marsh land facing an in-let off of the Wilmington River. A new boat house and olympic rowing facility was aimed to be constructructed for Chatham County in which large regattas could be held for local and traveling crew teams.

The water level fluctuates dramatical-ly with the rise and fall of the tides, making docking difficult for rowers coming and going while also present-ing a challenge when deciding the orientation of the new facility. As in most marsh land environments, the local flora fauna is abundant, and in this case influenced the design of the facility greatly.

The spartina alternifora, or saltmarsh cordgrass, are an invasive species prevelent to marshlands. Known to be an environmental engineer, this plant plays an important role in the ecosystems of marshes. The image above is a cross sectional view of the plant, displaying a series of circular passage ways which allow the plant to circulate oxygen and sustain life.

12

While sustaining the idea of fluidity in the place , the structural element aimed to incorporate the mechanics of rowing. In an effort to combine something site specific with the pro-gram and function of a rowing facility, a new identity was born through structure. The structure reflects not only that of the land through the in-fluece of the spartina plant, but also the mechanisms of rowing.

The spartina plant influenced form and materiality when modelling mass-es for the design . A porous mate-rial such as insulation was used to represent the many cellular passages found within the plant which gives it life. A continuous wire wraps the insulation and refrains it from invading any boundaries, as the spartina plant naturally does.

Because of the dense marshland soils and flooding during high tides, the new facility is raised above ground level. This allows the building to settle without it affecting the boat bays and also prevents any

flooding from entering the building. This results in a ramped entry which tunnels through overhead structural features and is also handi-cap accessible.

The rhythmic forms are seen uniquely in section, plan and elevation. Glazing fills the gaps created by the over-lapping of beams and aims to reflect the cellular passage ways found within the original spartina plant. The large

windows also make it easy for coaches and visitors to monitor the water when practice or races are taking place. When inside the building, the undulating ceiling and walls adds to the overall feel of pulsation and life within the

environment.

In this design studio we were giv-en a fictional project from Arkham House , a small publishing company, in which we were challenged to de-sign a library to house a collection of rare books and art folios. The book collection consisted of Gothic Horror and Mysteries, as well as a collection of art from artists such as: Dali, Goya, Fuseli, Escher, Geiger and Sudworth.

The spaces were to be located in an existing stone building that was gutted due to a fire in which no interior elements survived and only the exterior shell remains. The existing buid-ing resides on 70 Broad Street, New York, NY located in Lower Manhattan. Because the building was historic, there were to be no modifications to the exterior walls, and only existing windows can be covered or new windows can be added.

The new program we were given includes 10,000 square feet of specific programmatic require-ments meant to accomodate an occupancy load of roughly 448 people. The over-all tone and feel of the library stems from an under-standing of the eerie yet fasincat-ing works of art and literature held within its stone walls.

The interiors protrude through the openings of the windows and doors that were left on the exteri-or shell. It looks as if a life was born inside what was left of the remain-ing building and is growing and ex-panding beyond the old envelope.

The new elements refuse to be contained and bring new meaning back to something which was left to be forgotten.

The unconventional forms that are created contrast with the classical style seen on the exterior and re-flect the eccentric artworks housed inside which are equally as abnor-mal and bizarre. The forms are not only formal, but functional as well.

The main route of circulation from level to level is by winding stair cases held within the hollow forms that are portruding from the interior. The stair cases extend out of the buildings ex-terior shell through the window open-ings left by the fire.Each stair case wraps around a column seen on the exterior and climbs up the building like a growing vine within the forms.

On the staff levels, the floors extend to fill in the empty spaces created by the forms and become a part of the offices. This way you can inhabit the spaces within the forms as they create a unique spatial experience and have views overlooking the surrounding neighborhood.

The goal of Arkham House Gallery is to attract and educate the most eccentric of people. The new addi-tions set the building apart from the rest in the neighborhood, making it a truly unique piece of architecture against the others. With its attention grabbing forms, the building hopes to bring diversity to Lower Man-hattan through art and culture.

The graduate residences were an introductory project done while studying abroad at SCAD’s Lacoste, France campus. The residences were to be located on the same site as Maison Basse, an historic building located at the base of the hill and isolated from the rest of the Lacoste campus.

32

Located in Provence’s Luberon Valley between the villages of Lacoste and Bonnieux the site is situated a hike away from the main Lacoste cam-pus. The new grauate residences are meant to offer students privacy in a serene environment. Being lo-cated at the base of the hill they are granted breath taking views of Bon-niuex alongside cherry tree fields.

The graduate dorms are identical repeated modules that comfortably house two stu-dents each. The modules measured to be 12’ x 16’ x 9’ tall and repeated 18 times. The dorms wrap around the site to create an inner courtyard between them and Maison Basse, a vernacular French country farmhouse. Dat-ing back to the 18th century, Maison Basse plays an important role in achieving the tra-ditional style with a contemporary twist.

The private outdoor spaces for each unit are oriented towards the city of Bonnieux so that stu-dents can relax, study, and en-tertain with unobstructed views overlooking the Luberon Valley.

The new graduate residences make use of vernacular materials that are found in abundance around the Provence Region. By refining the limestone into linear elements, it creates a clean facade with no interruptions or breaks. A “thread” of steel weaves throughout the units which hides and then reveals itself in different elevations. This creates rhythm and repitition between the units and also demarcates important features such as entry ways and private outdoor spaces for each unit.

The modular form of the graduate residences creates problems for rain and drainage, especially on the flat roofs. To resolve this

problem, the roof would seem flat, but actually have a slight slope hidden behind a parapet wall.

The open floor plan for the residences comfortably fits two students and is equipped with ample amounts of customized storage space located beneath the raised beds. A unique feature of each

residence is the private outdoor space given to each unit, in which the students can open the sliding glass doors and almost double the limited square footage of their living space.

38

Instead of the graduate dorms appearing as an entirely new entity, it combines features of the old and the new together to create a more powerful whole. The new addition is engaging yet modest to its surroundings, and most importantly aims to create an inspiring environment for creative thinkers.

LIVE·MAKE Industrial Arts Cen-ter Cincinnati calls for architectural proposals for a membership based facility that will feature private resi-dences, maker-in-residence studios, light industrial studios and an open workshop that will help shape a new economic opportunity for the neigh-borhood. The proposed site includes a building and undeveloped land.

It is located in the Over-the-Rhine district in Cincinnati, Ohio and was recently designat-ed as an Urban Mix zoning area in order to encourage a return of manufacturing and liv-ing. The main objective is a contemporary architectural solution that engages the site’s historic fabric and restores some of the orig-inal living and making characteristics of the community. Two components make of the majority of the projects needs which are the-

Live paces and the Make spac-es. Each component has specif-ic programmatic requirements, however it is up to the designer to determine the importance of each when designing.

The void between the two components serves just as much purpose the components themselves. The focus isn’t on what’s there, it’s what’s not there. In this case, 1+1=3. 1 part being the work component, 1 part being the live component, and 1 part being the void defined between the two. It becomes a place for community; a place where the two components can meet, cross paths, and enjoy the outdoors.

Rather than adding new forms to the landscape, the idea was to bring what already exists back to life by cutting away the earth around it. By giving it a skin, the live component is built as a fracture within the landscape while also retaining the hillside. Clerestories break through the landscape and grant private access to individual outdoor space on a green roof above each living unit. The combination of the clerestories and green roof allows for several passive and active systems to help generate sustainable living. When the units are in use by night, the lit up clerestories will look like emerging lanterns scattered throughout the vegitation. The goal of the “make” component was to be placed entirely within the ex-isting building. With minor modifications, the building offers the right environment for heavy machinery and tools while also preserving the deteriorating structure. At the end of the corridor between the two components is a ramp formed by the cutting away of the hillside. This grants public acess to the hillside and has the potential for public park space at the top.

Adaptive Reuse:Underground rainwater harvesting cisternsThe goal of the underground rainwater harvesting system is to recycle as much raintwater run off as possible, leaving no water on site to go to waste. The earth berming technique takes advantage of the hill side as a main source of collecting the run off. By being burried just feet beneath the ground surface, the water can easily drain through the soil down into large cisterns. It is then filtered through sanistations systems and pumped back into the the living units, and even recycled to water on site vegitation.

The preserving and reuse of the existing structural columns provides several opportunities for bringing the existing building back to life. The column extensions add three additional feet to the existing buildings height while supporting a new lightweight butterfly roof. The steel piping between ridges create gutters to collect rainwater and feeds it to a nearby rainwater harvesting system. By preserving objects of our past, we can create a more sustainable future.

A site model was made by a collab-oration of students from the studio. Each student had their own individual cut out where the site was located so that the models could be easily in-terchangeable when presenting. The materials were carefully chosen to reflect the industrial environment with stained and sanded wood and nails to represent the vegitation. The mod-el insert strives to be minimal and-

simple just as the design aims to be. Through a series of views it becomes clear that under-statement is much more effective and much more elegant. Vertical linear architectural el-ements are implented throughout the design and seen best in aerial view. The butterfly roof compliments the winding ramp as well as the patterned clerestory roofs emerging through the hill side. To the far right is a grid of tree planters that is meant to bring hillside vegitation down to ground level and create

outdoor seating areas that are also available to the public. This addition strives to create the grounds for community engage-ment through the gentrification of the abandoned site.

The Kensington Park Branch Library was a single project a part of a comprehensive studio in which the students were responsible for addressing site design, structure, integrated sytems, fire safety, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and meeting all local city and zoning codes.

Located on Habersham St. on the South Side of Savannah, the site sits directly between a residential neighborhood to the east and a large commericial shopping plaza to the west. The site itself is divided into two irregular triangles by the City of Savannah’s storm water run-off ca-nals and ultimately provides a barrier from the commericial shopping center that attracts traffic and congestion.

As a part of the project each student was to define the focus of a “special collection” that was included within the program of the branch library. I choose to focus the special collections on vernacular methods of the southeast regions. Because of the prom-inent presence of the storm water run-off canals on the site, one method in particular is the stressed through the practice of storm water management along with the integration of idigenous plants.

The storm water run-off canals were a driving force in the design of Kensington Park’s Branch Library, and were used to mold not only the site but also trans-form the building into first-hand learning experience for the com-munity and visitors alike.

The branch library aims to create a place where adults and children can educate themselves through inter-active experiences from the collect-ing and recycling of the city’s storm water run-off canals. The purpose of a library may be evaluated by the community and redefined as a place not just for research but a place of engagement through the site specific means.

With the help of readily available resources and examples, the library hopes to influence the community to practice the skills learned through the use of vernacular strategies within their own environments. By focusing the special collections on vernacular meth-ods of the south east region, the library aims to attract and influence visitors of not just the immediate community but also visitors from regions with similar environmental needs to be addressed.

The library then becomes an attraction itself rather than just building used to house resources. The ability to continually grow as a platform for learning with users near and far is a priority of the Kensington Park Library, and as environmental needs evolve the library will ultimately be forced to evolve too.

Through the University of Cincinnatis cooperative education program (co-op), I was able to intern at the office of William Mcdonough + Partners for the winter semester of 2014 in their San Francisco office. Being apart of the team at WM+P for several months allowed me to gain valuable work experience in a professional environment. The tasks given varied each day and ultimately provided me with a wide range of responsibility in drafting, modeling, rendering, and several others. All of the work shown is owned and apart of the team and clients associated with William McDonough + Partners.

Architects & Engineers

Directly after my studies abroad, I traveled to the Kingdom of Bahrain where I worked as an architectural intern for 5 weeks in the office of DTEB. Throughout my internship I was required to produce schematic and preliminary designs for multiple projects. During this intership I learned the importance of gaining work experience abroad by having to know new buildings and zoning codes amongst several other factors I wasn’t previously exposed to.

82

DTEB was approached by the Client to do preliminary design concepts for a food outlet strip mall in the Seef Dis-trict. The Seef district is a suburban neighborhood in Manama, the capi-tal city of Bahrain. It is a new zone of reclaimed land that is fastly develop-ing into a business center with luxu-ry apartments, hotels and shopping malls. The Client’s objective was to maximize the rentable area while-

still allowing for adequate common areas. The plot area is 4082 square meters and borders a major highway with high traffic rates throughout the day. A total of 14 units about 9,000 x 14,000 mm fit on the build-able square footage which included outdoor common areas for each restaurant. In ad-dition, the client requested that atleast 75 parking spaces be incorporated into the de-sign and layout of the site so that there may be easy access to restaurant entries.

All preliminary design concepts and sketches were done by Kristin Ridge while final drawing sets and proposals were completed by the architects at DTEB.

In the preliminary design stages it was important to keep the space for the common areas high on the list of priorities. The layout of the spaces conform to the rectangular plot and pattern voided space in between rows of restaurant units. In the space is a place for outdoor seating and dining which can be shared between multiple units or individualized.

Because of the extreme climate of Bahrain it was imperative to provide proper shading for the outdoor seating areas. Above the outdoor seating are lightweight tensile shading devices which stretch in between the rows of restaurant units. Lining the permiter of the plaza are the required parking spaces needed for the amount of built up square footage and also allows easy access to any unit in the plaza.

85

The common areas are flexible spaces found throughout the strip plaza. Each restaurant has designated outdoor seating, however they can easily become communal if desired by the client. The tensile structures that provide shading are able to be taken down and re-hung when needed.

The works displayed were done throughout my undergraduate studies and range in time from first year foundation studies to present day. Each work is significant in that they taught me the funda-mental understanding of sketching, painting, and other various art forms.

study abroad:While studying abroad at SCAD’s Lacoste, France program, I completed a small series of pencil sketches from the remote villages we visited on short day trips. Most of the sketches completed were from towns in or around the Provence region of France as well as sketches from neighboring countries such as Spain. All sketches were completed from the months of March through June 2012.
