Tioga United is a non-profit organization whose mission is to rebuilt the Tioga/Nicetown community, improve quality of life for its residents and restore neighborhood pride. Tioga United’s Programs include community planning for recreation, economic development, senior’s facility, and housing and other needed services for Tioga/Nicetown community.
The Owner is currently focusing on creating a green neighborhood gateway in the area centered on N. 20th and Tioga Street. The gateway area is bisected by the SEPTA elevated R-8 rail line . The Community Design Collaborative completed a conceptual site plan design for the gateway in January 2004. An area has been identified at the corner of 20th and Tioga Streets as the preferred location for the Design Competition Neighbor-
hood Center building. The Owner is in process of securing funding and implementing portions of the gateway site design.

Tioga Community CenterLand Usage & Community: Preferred car pool parking, bicycle storage, and pedestrian commuters. Located on accessible area for public transportation and pedestrian commuters.
Site Selection: Building placement on site and parking layouts where integrated with existing conditions in order to eliminate negative impact the consumption of natural resources. Maintaining the original building as part of the integration. The parking areas utilized existing driveway located next to the existing house. The building oriented on the North-South due to site location and maxi-mize solar path. Also, shading system provide protection of south solar exposure. And green roof provide outdoor space and cooling environment during the long summers.
Energy Ground-source heat pumps provide the heat for the building. Heat recovery air-handling units provide ventilation make-up air separated from condition air, thereby allowing for condition air equipment to be shut-off when not needed. Metal shading hangar like doors, also working as canopy allows to open operable windows when desirable.
Material & ResourcesSelection of building materials where based on the renewability and environment effects associated with the production of them. Material availably also, reusing the existing building as a shelf allowed for less material waste.

Site Analysis and De-sign for a Wetlands Institute and Environ-mental Retreat CenterThe Chesapeake, Maryland
A retreat facility and education center is to be added on a site by route 33, adjacent to the village Sherwood, MD. The retreat is intended for use by institutional and private groups of 20 to 25 adults for 2 to 3 days periods of study, meetings, discussion and contemplation. In addition, it will be open to daytime visitors. The project needs to identify a suitable site location for the retreat base on an overall site analysis. It is set to be sited recognizing the desirable natural amenities, micro-climate, and views. The site plan is to be include a new driveway with twelve parking spaces, which will be used by the retreat for both staff and visitors.
The retreat is used year-round. Designed to respond to and enjoy a range of annual conditions of weather, foliage, etc. And should permit many activities to occur outdoors when possible. A majority of retreat meetings and activities involve the full group, but some meetings occur in small sub-groups. The design allows for the individual to “escape” the group, either in the private or public areas of the retreat, both indoors and outdoors.
The design should impact to the minimum the natural landscape, anticipate timber as the primary construction material above grade, and to consider all aspects of site-responsive and energy-conscious design. The retreat is very much a place for re-thinking. It will be served well by an architecture that stimulates a questioning and reflective state of mind, and that allows of an interactive relationship with the site. The complex may be within one “structure: or composed of maximum of three individual built elements.

Solar EnvelopeThe Solar Envelope is defined as the maximum built volume on a site such that is does not block direct sun to its neighbors in specified times. As buildings become taller and densi-ties increase, the sun access to buildings decreases and the maximum buildable volume of the site approximates a pyramid.

The Latitude:The Latitude is the angular distance measured along a meridian from the equator, North or South, to a point on the earth’s surface. Any location towards the North is considered having positive lati-tude and towards the South as negative latitude. The North and the South poles are +90 and -90 respectively. Latitude values are important as they define the relationships with the sun.

Southpoint: from Ruin to RejuvatiomDesign ComepetitionThe Roosevelt Island Universal Arts CenterSouthern tip of Roosevelt Island, New York
The Southpoint: from Ruin to Rejuvenation competition is an open international ideas competition to design a Universal Arts Center for the com-munity of Roosevelt Island, New York. The competition is hosted by the Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), AIA New York Chapter, in cooperation with the Roosevelt Island Visual Arts Association (RIVAA) and the Coler-Goldwater Hospital, and is supported by the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation. The competition results are intended to generate ideas for the site and will not result in actual development by ENYA or other parties involved. The Southpoint: from Ruin to Rejuvenation competition is an effort to provide young and emerging architects and designers with the opportu-nity to engage in the development of the souther tip of Roosevelt Island. The site, located at the ruin of James Renwick Jr. Smallpox Hospital, will provide a platform to discuss issues of preservation, an opportunity to take advantage of glorious city views, and a chance to access this unique and inimitable physical environment. Inspired by its tradition of being a public gathering space for the Fourth of July festivities and a transient art installation space, the Universal Arts Center program will call for a multi-use facility that can accommodate both performing and visual arts.
Designed with the entire Roosevelt Island constituency in mind, the competition will be tailored to fit the needs of the RIVAA and Coler-Goldwater Hospital Therapeutic Recreation Services. The program will ask that architectural solutions be sensitive to the high percentage of residents with disability on the island. Execution of this program brief will address a number of fundamental design issues including: use of universal design in adaptive reuse projects. While firmly rooted within the fabric of New York, certain elements of the Roosevelt Island site tran-scend location and speak to larger universal issues of city landscape, preservation and urban identity. Located within one of the last great park spaces to be developed in New York, this competition will attempt to address the puzzle of how architecture can coex-ist with urban green spaces. With adjacency to the waterfront, this compe-tition will touch upon how cities may choose to utilize available riverfront resources in the twenty-first century. Working close to the confines of an existing building, this competition will promote creative adaptive re-use solution and will address how new construction can intertwine it-self within the foundation of existing struc-ture.

* Stockpiles of soil and rock fill with crushed rock and demolition debris exist throughout the project site.
* In the area of the North of the Smallpox Hospital, fill basically consist of dark brown silty sand with rock fragments, pieces of concrete, brick fragments and wood, all at depths ranging from 10´near The center of the Island to 20´along Perimeter.
* In the area of the South of the Smallpox Hospital, the fill basically consist of brown fine to medium sand with large amounts of rock fragments with thickness typically as much as 30´-40´.
* Organic silt/silty sand was encounter beneath the fill layer of some areas, with a layer of fine to medium sand below.
* Bedrock was encountered in most of the boings within depth of 8´. The top rock varies from elev. 6´at The North end of the site to deeper than elev. 30, and the top of the rock is generally higher in the center of the Island and slopes down very quickly along the perimeter of the Island.

A Philadelphia SkyscraperBuilding Skin DetailsThe Tatemono Building Philadelphia, PA
Beginning in the last quarter of the 19th Century, the pressure on urban real estate occasioned the need for higher density in cities, forcing de-velopment in the only direction available - up. The first tall buildings were massive affairs with think masonry walls at their bases that tapered internally to the top. As cast iron, steel and concrete frames technology developed, the skyscraper was born. The technical imperatives of tall buildings include: resolution of structural frame slab based on material properties and planning requirements; building mechanical, electrical, control and data systems; vertical transportation systems, and building exterior ‘skin’.
Site is located at the northeast corner of 30th and Market Street, and comprises about 100,300 GSF, and is currently occupied by the 1950’s vintage Post Office Annex, which can be demolished to make way for development. To the east of the Annex are the rail tracks, which are the air rights for the high rise, but can not be used for building. The area its intended to leave open or developed as open space or a plaza for the building. The floors below Walnut street level are used for parking, mechanical and electrical rooms services.

Urban Design: Redefining Urban Corridor, Italian Market
The ability to structure and identify the physical environment is vital to human survival and our emotional well being. We need to be able to recognize and pattern our surroundings so that we can move quickly, safely and efficiently, so that we can organize our daily activi-ties, and so that our lives are securely anchored in time and place and a corresponding framework of knowledge and beliefs.
The city, with its frequently over overwhelming size and complex physical and social diversity, can offer a special challenge in the search for an ordering structure or recognizable patterns. We all know the anxiety and outright fear that can arise from finding oneself “lost” in an unfamiliar place, and also the special pleasure that derives from “coming home”, or recognizing a previously visited place, or becoming competent in a foreign environment.

Statement
The purpose of this project is to explore the relationship between technology (blogs) and everyday practice (community devel-opment). The idea is to create intercommunication with the existing merchants, future merchants, neighbors and developers in the Italian Market by using the internet. In addition, I would like to propose an expansion that will allow for growth in a multi-axial pattern along the market, not just in the 9th Street commercial corridor. Lastly, I’ll investigate an expansion on the boundary of the market with Passyunk Avenue for future connectivity with other neighborhoods and new visitors.
The internet has being a significant tool for merchants to obtain or distribute their goods and/or services locally, nation-ally, and globally. Not only does merchants benefit form this tool, shoppers now have the freedom and convenience to shop for their goods from anywhere they want. Shoppers as well as merchants can rate the product, website, and service that the dis-tributor is offering. What if you take this idea of rating using the internet, and then turned it into a blog. A blog is a frequently updated journal or diary usually, often hosted by a third party, in this case the empowerment development zone that would manage the interaction between the community, the merchants and the developers. This would give developers the opportu-nity to see what the community’s views were about the developers’ proposal.
These interactions would give birth to a place in where developers, merchants and neighbors can interact, advice, request, and submit their concerns about design propositions on a giving site or neighborhood, using the opportunity to experiment with this notion, I select the Italian Market. The American Ice & Coal Company building is the physical connection to create that expansion. This building would allow for existing merchants and future ones to congregate in a multi-ethnic empowerment busi-ness center. The building would house the program in where existing merchants could bring new merchants to the market and cre-ate a connection with each other. Merchants could access a blog setup by the empowerment business center, so developers can perceive what points are important to the community. The idea is that bloggers can input in the design and development of the market. They can add to what the outcome of the design is going to the blog.

Washington Ave - Redefining Urban CorridorSelected Site: Italian Market (from Catherine St. to Federal St. between 9th St. and 4th St.)The Italian Market faces many problems that need to be faced, there is to much trash left behind by the vendors. The sidewalks are filthy and unkept, and with the waste that accumulates make the area looked dirty. Signs and other forms of business ad-vertising are scarred around the awnings making it chaotic to find a business while walking. People!!! people are everywhere in the Italian Market, with no sense of direction, making it almost impossible to navigate around them.
TYPOLOGY ANALYSIS
Site Study & Culture AnalysisCode:Art, a place where ART becomes EXPERIENCENorthern Liberties is located north of Center City (specifically, Old City) and is bordered by Masters Streets to the North; Callowhill Street to the south; North 8th Street to the west; and the Delaware River to the east (from Callowhill Street to Laurel Street; from Laurel Street to Girard Av-enue the eastern boundary is North Front Street). The historical boundaries are the same, except that instead of Master street, the northern boundary was the Cohocksink Creek, which now flows as a storm sewer under the following streets:(starting at the Delaware River and running from southeast to northwest: Canal, Laurel, Bodine, Cambridge, & Orkney Streets).
Site: Liberty Lands is a two-acre, multi-use community green space, wholly owned and maintained by the Northern Liberties community. Originally the Liberty Lands site was fully developed, with build-ings that held many businesses including a tannery. These buildings were donated by a developer in 1994 and the plan was to develop the property as senior housing, but these plans had to be abandoned when the buildings were demolished. In 1996, a small group of neighbors conceived a vision to create a park on the site. At the time, Northern Liberties was the only zip code in Philadelphia without a green space. A landscape designer volunteered his services to create a design, and a $59,000 grant allowed the project to begin. EPS soil testing ensured that this former Superfund site could be safely developed for green space; Liberty lands is now a poster project for the EPA’s “Brownfields to Greenfields” program.
With national support, several small grants, donations of materials, food, plants, trees, professional services, construction services and thousands of hours of volunteer labor, in the spring of 1997 the park became a reality. The park was quickly recognized as the heart of the Northern Liberties community and the City of Philadelphia forgave many tax and demolition liens on the property. The Playground in the Park was conceived soon after the establishment of the park. For four years a group of volunteers designed, fundraised, and then built the five-unit playground. Plans to further involve the growing community of young families include a Children’s Garden, playground shade improvements, and new children’s activities.
Liberty Lands plays host to a variety of community events for all ages. Large neighborhood parties, like the summer music festivals, take place here, as do picnics and birthday parties. The free Lawn Chair Drive-In movie series plays weekly during the summer; halloween brings the Hayride and other holiday activities for kids. Monthly workdays are a chance for neighbors to meet each other and to work

Registering the pedestrian movement, patterns through the site, helped un-derstand the path of randomness within their circulation. It was impossible to register each individual path throughout the site, but by creating a 20´x20´grid, It was possible to record segments of this pattern and use a script to calcu-late an approximation of that flow.
