  • Angular Interaction-The Highline, New York City

    Angular Interaction was designed as a park for the public and also as a staircase to connect to the Highline. The concept of the park and staircase was derived from the angle of the spur on the exsisting Highline. Much like the spur creates a quiet space for people to go, the angles of the landings in the design create spaces for people to talk and hang out. The design intent of the park and staircase was to create spaces for different activities while going up to the pre-exsisting park that is the Highline. There is a food venue and a TKTS ticket booth included in the park.

    In this 2D Diagram, it is shown that the landingsof the staircases create angles based on the angleof the spur and the implemented grid system.

    In this 3D Diagram, it is shown what the landings are used for.Each landing has a designated and interactive use that the visitorexperiences as they make their way up to the Highline. Each differentspace has different angles based off of the spur.

  • Angular Interaction Plans

    Angular Interaction has an assortment of requirements. The first was an architectural staircase to connect to the Highline. The staircase in the back taking the visitor on a scenic route up to the Highline. The next requirement was a food venue and ticket booth. These are kept close to the street in order for visitors and pedestrians to use them. There is also a staircase and elevator in the back for quick and easy access to the High-line. In the park, there is an eating area, under the Highline, a water feature across the side and back, and a private area in the back of the park. Grass AreaEating AreaQ

  • Serene Escape is a combination of a yoga studio and an art market. It combines a the three main types of yoga; bikram, vinyasa, and hatha and the three types of sculpture; relief, assemblage, and in the round to form a multiuse building. The concept of this building was taken from a combination significant characteristics from the Oslo Opera House and the Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion. The unique design intent of Serene Escape is the fact that the floors are glass in order for light to filter through without the use of windows. The entire top floor is glass and houses the hot yoga (bikram) creating a greenhouse effect. The glass allows light to filter into the middle courtyard/ sculpture garden.

  • Juxtaposition-New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey

    Juxtaposition is a canopy designed for the entrance of the N.J.I.T. College of Architecture and Design Entrance. The concept of the canopy was to take the juxtaposing staircase and use it to make a canopy of juxtaposing shapes. It is made of steel and glass. The canopy is connected to the beam under the second floor and the beam under the third floor. The uniqueness of the canopy is the fact that it is made up of sevem uniquely shaped pieces of glass that are repeated throughout the whole of the canopy creating a rhythm out of the canopy. For the drainage of water, the glass is angled towards the street so the water can fall off the canopy.

  • The Barcelona Pavilion was designed by Ludwig Mies vane der Rohe for the barcelona International Exhibition. Construction started in 1928 and it was originally called the German Pavilion in Barcelona. For the case study, I drew the plans and sections and many diagrams to greater understand the project. One of the most important elements of the case study was analyzing the materials that were used in the Barcelona Pavilion. Materials were extremely important to Mies and directs the proj-ect. The structural system was also important and yet very simple.

    The parti diagram was derived from 2 axises and each wall sit on an axis. The parti also shows how the outer walls form an enclosure around the free-standing inner walls.

  • The Barcelona Pavilion sits on a site that is 291.58 acres. It is at the foot of the National Museum of Catalonia and Montujulic. Even though the site is rather large, the square footage of the site, both enclosed and open spaces, is 9800 square feet. It was built to represent the Weimar Republic of Germany at the time. The Barcelona Pavilion was in Barcelona from 1928-1929 and torn down in 1930. However, in 1986, it was reconstructed because of the impact it had on modern architecture.

    Since the pavilion isnt fully covered by a roof, light is able to enter the building from above where there is no roof and with the addition of a skylight in the enclosed space. The roof also casts a shadow on the areas that arent enclosed with the roof.

  • These are the structure (bottom) and circulation (right) diagrams of the Barcelona Pavilion. The pavilion has a set circulation because the walls are laid out strategical-ly to encourage un-selfconscious visitors movements. The visitor enters from the stairs and then follows the implied circulation route created by the partitions of the structure. The main structural element is eight steel columns holding up the roof slab. Since these pillars exsist, there is no need for load-bearing walls. There is also a grid system underlaid which helps as an underly-ing framework of working systems of interior walls. Circulation Diagram

  • Materials are the leading component of the Barcelona Pavilion. There is a select list of expensive materials used including: onyx, marble, travertine, glass, steel, and chrome. The material choices were extremely important because the pavilion wasnt built to house an exhibit but was built to be an exhibit in itself. It also housed the king and queen of France when they went to the Barcelona International Exhibition. The most commonly used material in the Barcelona Pavilion is the Italian Travertine which covers the floors and the walls. Materials Diagram in 2D

  • Stair Problem-Construction I Stair Project

    The Stair Problem was a project for the class Con-struction I. The staircase had to reach up to the Highline and the drawings had to be drawn as if they were being drawn for construction of a staircase. Plans, Sections, and Elevations, were drawn and labeled to show measurements and materials. Also, details were drawn of different parts of the staircase. These details were both hand drawn and computer drawn. These drawings were very different than architectural drawings because they had to be labeled and very exact so that if hypothetically it was constructed, it would be constructed correctly.

  • Viewing the Morris Canal-Boonton, New Jersey

    Viewing the Morris Canal is a museum in Boonton, New Jersey for the Morris Canal that used to run through the town. The concept for the museum was to create an area for the visitor to view where the different aspects of the Morris Canal and where they used to be in respect to Main Street in Boonton. That is why the museum s on the second floor of the building. On the ground floor, there is office space and a temporary exhibit space to be used as an art gallery. On the outside, there are two sculpture gardens: one for the general public and onw for people who have payed. There are also terraces in the back for the public that connect to the sidewalk.

  • Viewing the Morris Canal Renderings

    Even though the structural system in the museum is steel, the outside is clad in wood and stone. There is also a lot of glass used because of the concept of viewing the canal. The structural system of columns, beams, and trusses support the cantilevering second floor which creates a canopy over the eating space. Since it is a south facing building, there is much need for a system to block out sunlight. To block sunlight, louvers are placed on the windows on the second floor.
