This thesis proposes to redesign the industrial pharmaceutical laboratory typology by rethinking the composition of the laboratory module; the smallest functional sub-unit of the laboratory type.

The design for this thesis applies contemporary corporate counterculture spatial organizational ideas onto the laboratory module.

Central to these concepts is an architecture that is user-oriented and environmentally sensitive rather than managerially-oriented.

The spatial organization seeks to flatten the managerial hierarchy by eliminating explicit office spaces. The laboratory is instead spatially divided according to affinity for behaviors and activities rather than strict programmatic designations.

The laboratory module was initially conceived during World War II as a spatial system to accommodate inter-disciplinary research and development teams in an industrial laboratory setting.

However, the spatial design of the module has become deterministically dictated by managerial control systems and calibrated by infrastructural service, rather than serving the environmental and social needs of the researchers. Contemporary laboratory architecture requires the same shift away from spaces organized for clerical work to fluid and open fields that have occurred in corporate architecture.

However, architectural design cannot control occupant’s behaviors, but it can endorse a specific networked culture through the configuration of spaces. The use of common flexible spaces endorses and encourages social interaction. Likewise the form and figure of the laboratory establishes an environmental tone by allowing the research spaces to sit within an open field. This open field aspect allows for maximum daylighting and greater levels of visual and social interaction. Through a “plug and play� service infrastructure, the lab benches and fume hoods can behave more as setting and furniture rather than rigid spatial datums. Additionally, these spaces also provide for reconfigurability and easy upgradeability.

By seeking to move away from standard laboratory spatial solutions and conventions the design takes the position that a laboratory field condition encourages new modes of scientific interaction and production. This laboratory functions as much as an intellectual play ground as it does a functional research laboratory.

The rising tides and eroding ground of the Veneto lagoon demands a strategy to connect with the mainland. A failure of many contemporary architectural designs in Venice is the paradoxical embrace of Venetian history and culture with contemporary design. In essence it must exist and notexist at the same time, a kind of sublimation between solid and void. This cultural center propses an adaptation of the Venetian palace typology with its long piano nobile and portego spaces pivoting around a piaza space that visually connects the center with the island of Venice to the West. The center is skinned with a louver system that offers environmental control as well allowing the building to simultaneously exist as a solid and void.

The neighborhoods of northwest Minneapolis have

northwest bank of the Mississippi River and expands pedestrian infrastructure provides a means for the city to reconnect the northwestern neighborhoods with the river park system, create a Lowry Ave

This project offers a major expansion to Lincoln Laboratory campus. The current campus is overcrowded and decentralized. This design seeks open the laboratory space and offer new spaces for cross-disciplinary collaboration within an environment maximized for human comfort. The laboratory is an environment that has traditionally acquiesced to the technical and infrastructural needs of the program. This ignores the importance of the human capital that the laboratory serves. It is the comfort of the scientists that leads to innovation. This laboratory proposes a return to the envelope as the source of light and air in order to best serve the researchers. The envelope provides a microclimate that elevates the comfort of the occupants while providing for efficient thermal control of clean room, production and assembly spaces. As an extension of this, the tectonic elements of the laboratory dissipate with each floor; all beneath a roof comprised of nimbular aerogel-insulated ETFE pillows. The result is that through a search for environmental comfort an inversion of indoor and outdoor space can occur.

An extension to the Boston Architectural College loacted in Kenmore Square, Boston. This design seeks transparency in materiality and organization as a means to create a dialogue and discourse with a public unfamiliar with the discipline of architecture. A clear interface between the public and the architecture students is created through a series of inter-digitated gallery / review spaces and observation platforms. A necessary sepparation between the students and the public is achieved through distinct circulation routes. The structural system derives from the embodiment of the tree; offering both strength and shelter while simulataneously allowing the flexible creation of spaces calibrated to programmatic need.

// WYNDMOOR RESIDENCE ADDITION CLIENTS: LESLIE AND THOMAS PURPLE SITE: WYNDMOOR, PA DESIGNED: WINTER, 2012 CONSTRUCTION: SPRING. 2014 This project sought to reactivate an unused storage room as the main location for daily activity. The existing space allows for a kitchen and central hearth. The south facing wall is pulled away from the house to allow for greater day-lighting and create a space for casual dining and food and linen storage.

AutoCAD, Revit, Rhinoceros, Maxwell, and physical modelling were used throughout the course of the project.
