Cubist Abstract/Intervention

2008 / Introductory StudioCatherine Seavitt, Instructor

An architectural installation for standing, sitting, and sleeping.

The strategy embraces the existing conditions of a wall and narrow void at the center of the abstract site as a means of dividing interaction between two users. A wall divides the program between circualtion and resting spaces, while the void provides physical distance between each room. Although both people enter and exit the site together, each walks along his own path (one in grey and one in white) and is offered a single room to sit, stand, and lay down in solitude.

Pelican Island Industrial ReserveGalveston, TX

2009 / Junior Independent WorkCatherine Seavitt, Instructor

Interpretation center for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Landscape park comprised of three sites--a monumental sculptural field, a visitor center, and a viewing tower.

Driving North on 51st Street in Galveston, the panorama changes dramatically as one crosses from the pristine Victorian neighborhoods of Galveston into the turbulent drosscape of Galveston’s inner harbor. On the other side of a causeway is the overlooked island of displaced sludge and residue known as Pelican Island. Home to refineries and oil rig repair stations, the island serves a larger purpose for Galveston as the site onto which millions of gallons of dredged seabed at the bottom of the Galveston Ship Channel are continuously dumped, changing the landscape incrementally and raising the topography in layers of sand, water, and mud.

In a sense, the landscape is an inversion of the constantly shifting Gulf coastline. Whereas Galveston Island’s boundaries fluidly ebb and flow with the tides and its interiors remain fixed, Pelican Island’s hard concrete edges are preserved as the interiors are shaped by the incremental accretion of silt forced from the channel.

By harnessing the material of this depository landscape, the Pelican Island Industrial Reserve emerges as a park for the preservation of continuing interactions between industry and nature.

FOUNTAIN/FIELDA horizontal viewing platform at the outlet of the dredge pipes. By burying hundreds of 8‘ by 8‘ concrete blocks into the silt on an equal “zero” grade, a visual means of measuring the accretion of the landscape is provided to the visiting public. The level ground also provides a walking area for visitors to observe indigenous wildlife interacting with the spoils of a silent industrial monument.

VISITOR CENTER

Above, a possible drawing of a final form. The visitor center is a prism partially covered in dredge material poured in place and hardened with a cement additive. Five punctures are made on the shell of the building to create columnar “supports.”

Three rooms display the horizons captured by cameras placed on top of offshore oil rigs, anticipating the arrival of massive ships that require the continuous dredging.

Boxed-Out

2009 / Advanced Design StudioRon Witte, Instructor

Simple formal processes of compression and subtraction create modulated spaces from an initial diagram of boxes with uniform proportions.

Variable floor-to-ceiling heights create subtle articulations of zones within the building envelope. Lower ceilings produce more private spaces better suited to solitary activities or storage, whereas taller spaces could be used for more public and social activities. Shelving and seating are placed to enhance sense of enclosure.

Whole Foods HeadquartersPrinceton, NJ

2009 / Advanced Design StudioRon Witte, Instructor

Typically, supermarkets are not laboratories. Shoppers enter stores, wander aisles, make purchases, and leave through a parking lot. However, the prevalence of online shopping has created a condition in which stores no longer need storefronts to operate. With an online user interface, a store’s only necessary spatial requirements are an organized warehouse, an IT department, and a loading dock. Furthermore, information sharing online has provided a platform for the emergence of a highly proficient DIY culture. Amateur and semi-professional culinary artists now have unprecedented access to expert knowledge in any aspect in food preparation, from growing, to preparation, to preservation. In the realm of the kitchen, it is especially true that there is desire for both the preservation of culinary traditions, and opportunities to experiment with new ingredients, techniques, etc. Simultaneously, a growing percentage of the public has no idea what to do in the kitchen or where their food comes from. A lack of basic gastronomic knowledge has led to what many have referred to as a cultural phenomenon of food illiteracy.

The architecture of the supermarket can adapt itself to address these trends by adopting an experience that allows for both faster and slower interactions with food sales. By increasing the ability and convenience for shoppers to make purchases online, while simultaneously using the main floor for demonstrations and education, the supermarket can grow to accommodate both faster service for those who want it and greater knowledge of food for those who want to learn.

Hand held wi-fi devices are distributed to customers to catalogue orders, which are then sent wirelessly to the service area for assembly. By replicating the logic of the online “cart” within the store, physical shopping carts are no longer necessary on the floor, allowing customers to peruse displays more leisurely. The displays themselves, no longer required to serve as storage areas, can now become more interactive zones where customers can come to learn about food preparation techniques or new recipes.

section through service core

The total program of 1,200 sq. ft is broken into two categories that are delineated by their interactions with the edges of the building. By consolidating the “fast” interactive and support spaces to the shell of the building, the interior bundles of “slow” program are readily serviced from every floor.

The thick perimeter of service space privileges interaction with the exterior of the building. Deliveries, services, parking, and other fast services take place there.The internal bundle is a place for gathering, performing, learning, interacting, and shopping.

The program is arranged between parallel floor and ceiling slabs which slide past one another, changing at each floor. The sliding past of pro-grammed areas produces in-between spaces of double-and triple heights.

Princeton Campus ArchStructural Formfinding

2010 / Computational Design SeminarAxel Killian, Instructor

Princeton’s campus has many locations where the intersection of buildings and topopgraphy create passageways between buildings or through buildings, and often these passages are sheltered and create unique views from one level to the next. Using formfinding techniques in combination with parametric tools in Processing, a roof structure is modeled for the narrow uncovered walkway of Spelman

Halls. A script is written to simulate a spring-like mesh that acts as a catenary system finding gravitational equillibrium over time. The resultant structure spans the path and absorbs the slope of the adjacent hill, emphasizing the informal entry to Princeton’s campus while enhancing existing seating space by sheltering exposed benches from sun and rain.

New Jersey GreenwayFlorence and Roebling, NJ

2009 / American Urbanism SeminarMario Gandelsonas, Instructor

The neighboring townships of Florence and Roebling, New Jersey are two small towns in New Jersey situated on the pleasant waterfront of the Delaware River. The towns are in close proximity to the urban center of Philadelphia, which is easily accessible by New Jersey Transit’s Riverline light-rail system. Historically, Roebling was the site of the great Roebling Steel Mill, founded by the sons of John Roebling in the early 20th Century, and Florence was an active weekend destination for residents of Philadelphia seeking to play on the shores of the Delaware. In more recent times, Florence and Roebling have seen a bit of a decline in economy from industry and tourism. The Roebling Steel Mill lies in ruin at a monumental scale, and the beaches that once entertained many are visited today by few.

Today, nearly 11,000 residents call area their home. Most live in the neighborhoods to the north of Interstate 95. At the southern edge of I-95 is the rural landscape of farms, wetlands, and forests that make up a dense patchwork of open green space. Additionally, the ruins of the former Roebling Steel Mill could be transformed into a waterfront sculpture park through which residents and visitors would be able to cycle, run, or hike.

By conneting this rural landscape to the urban areas along the waterfront, a greenway for walking and cycling could be created to connect the disparate fabrics of the towns. In doing so, the characteristic elements of Florence and Roebling would be enhanced by active public engagement, and the overall connections within the city would be strengthened, allowing the city to grow sustainably through the 21st century.

GREENWAY

SIDEWALK & BIKE PATHS

Los Angeles Green Alleys2009 / CRA/LA

Produced for The Community Redevelopment Association of Los Angeles and The Trust for Public Land in collaboration with The Center for Sustainable Cities at USC.

There are over 900 linear miles of alleyways in Los Angeles, and considering that most of these spaces are underused, polluted, and that Los Angeles is one of the most park-poor cities in the United States, what if these alleyways could be linked to one another to provide pocket parks and pleasant outdoor pathways for the residents of the South Central Los Angeles.

Considering Los Angeles’ infamous propensity towards automobile use, designs were developed to demonstrate how improved alleyways could stimulate pedestrian activity. Approaches to planning within the alleys includes connecting local amenities such as schools, residences, grocery stores and local parks via a network of green alleys. By improving these alleys through small landscaping interventions, it is the intention that through use, the alleys become cleaner and safer for residents to walk through.Further, sustainability is a major point of this project, and approaches to managing stormwater runoff and the urban heat island effect are major factors for influencing pavement choices. Utilizing local California-native plants also improves landscaping with minimum water usage.

The primary pilot project is located south of the 10 Freeway between South Park and a new LAUSD high school currently under construction, and it is intended that the alley itself could provide spaces for students to learn about botany or to display artwork.

Habana Outpost Trellis

2011 / Urban Acres

Produced for Habana Outpost in collaboration with Erik Rhey, Urban Acres.

One of the first eco-eateries in the City of New York, Habana Outpost commissioned Urban Acres to design and build a series of edible plant-based intstallations for their restaurant for the opening of their 2011 summer season.

The first installation to be completed was this 18-foot high trellis made entirely from reclaimed bicycle rims, painted vibrant shades of orange to accent the entrance to the restaurant on Fulton Street in Brooklyn. Bright marigolds are planted in the flower box below, and a climbing trumpet vine weaves its way through the spokes, eventually providing a dense wall of vegetation to shade the interior of the restaurant during the day. The marigolds themselves are edible and are able to be used as garnish, while the flowers of the trumpet vines are hoped to attract hummingbirds.

Foreclosed Rehousing the American Dream

2011 / WORKac

Produced for The Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with Brantley Highfill, Allan Izzo, Marisha Farnsworth, and Colleen Tuite with WORKac.

The Foreclosure crisis represents a unique opportunity to rethink the American Dream’s intimate connection to owning the single family home. The crisis revealed how suburban sprawl’s devastating effects on the environment also extended to millions of Americans whose homes they could no longer afford. Re-inventing the Town-Country for the 21st Century, WORKac proposes “Nature-City,” which integrates density, diversity, mixed use, a variety of housing typologies and a wide range of affordability with publicly accessible nature, ecological infrastructure, sky gardens, urban farms and large swaths of natural habitats, from an oak savanna and wetlands and a Doug Fir forest.

Images in this section unless otherwise noted were produced by Patrick Daurio with Brantley Highfill, Marishia Farnsworth, Allan Izzo, and Colleen Tuite for WORKac. Duplication or transmission of any images in this portfolio is not permitted. © WORKac 2011.

INFRASTRUCTURALLY-INFORMED FORM

The housing blocks of Nature-City each contain an important large-scale infrastructural component that addresses waste management, energy production, water treatment, food growth, or civic engagement. Housing is densely mixed throughout the blocks, carefully and sympathetically integrating the industrial and the domestic.

CONTINUOUS NATURAL LANDSCAPE

Typically, suburban tract housing interrupts wilderness, draining marshes or clear-cutting forest to make room for new the development. This also makes it difficult for animals to migrate freely through their natural habitat. To remedy this, Nature-City contains a series of courtyard buildings that span above the landscape, allowing free migration of native animals.

THE LOW-RISE OF HOMES

In order to produce density in Nature-City, non-infrastructural housing is performed by the Low-Rise of Homes. The envelope of each residence is conceived as a typical single family American home, with an area of approx. 1200-1800 sq. ft. However, unlike the typical American single-family home, the Low-Rise homes are specifically built without setbacks or side-yards. Each home is articulated individually, but in aggregate, the homes create a continuous street wall with an undulating skyline. The rear of each home backs directly onto a wild landscape, and an outdoor backyard area is carved from the roof, providing private green space for gardening, lounging, reading, or barbecuing.
