Through urban analysis we see that a single building can become a focal point for a community or city by provoking the senses of the people. With this library extension my goal was to create a fun and welcoming place that would improve the existing urban space by attracting foot traffic from the street as well as through the park. The geometries of the park as well as the large child population in the area influenced the concept and curvature of the building. I created family friendly spaces with plenty of light and color making this new public space an aesthetically pleasing destination for all people to enjoy.

East Boston ShipyardEast Boston, MA

Tectonic studies entwined with artistic conceptual elements are the driving force behind today’s contemporary design standards. Boat making is an element craft that requires layers of structure and form work. This building takes the structural interior of a wooden boat and its exterior wrapping to form a sleek tectonic space that allows visitors to circulate freely, allowing people to see the beauty of this nautical craftsmanship as well as experiencing breathtaking views of Boston Harbor. The building responds to the boat by forming around it on the ground as well as in the air. Elevating th sturcture allows the boat to drive directly into the workspace making the boat and it’s craft the buildings hierarchy.

Prof. Carol Burns/Junior 2014

The theoretically proposed self supporting cantilevered truss system becomes the buildings form. Rotation of the truss is due to change in program. The base of the truss is focused towards views of either Boston Harbor or the boat building workshop. Bending in the truss widens the windows allowing for a more scenic experience while occupying the space.

This design charette features a pinewood framed lamp fixture with a warm incandescent bulb delivering a relaxing feel to the space. This project was influenced by my studio project site, the Government Service Center by Paul Rudolph. My goal was to produce a warm sculptural light for museum program that would view as a individual gallery piece. The ellipse geometry of the lamp is derived from Rudolph’s organic style of using concrete. The curves of this lamp make for acaptivating form while casting interesting shadows upon the surrounding walls.

WELLESLEY

The performing arts are a visual display of emotion that tell viewers a story. When walking through Wellesley’s campus you would not realize that these crafts are taking place. I created a visual atmosphere for people to enjoy the studies taking place. The three buildings are formed based off the slope of the topography and sun exposure. Massings slide to allow the proper amount of light to enter each programmatic space and cascade down the hill side to adhere to the earth. There is a transition space between all three buildings linking them together with an integration of landscape and architecture.
