Government Service Center, Boston MA

Fall 2015: Professor Josiah Stevenson In the fall of 2015 we grouped in teams of five and designed a holistic plan to revitalize the infamous Government Service Center. Our team envisioned activating the public plaza but proposing a supporting tower, filled with a law library and a smaller tower acting as a boutique hotel.

We also engaged the larger scale project by making the plaza as a continuation of a larger urban portal connecting a thread of Boston’s significant architectural moments, including City Hall Plaza. Our project was aimed to create a new beacon in the skyline and encompass it with a center jewel attracting significant desirable foot traffic at all hours of the day.

Fort Point Channel, Boston MA This studio was focused on the relationship between facade and interior spatial qualities.

We were challenged with designing a facade that was engaging on the exterior but also supposed the program on the interior. I worked with a partner this semester and we collectively designed a system of algae based panels that would ultimately support our building’s energy use. At an urban scale, it was our goal to institute a hub and merge the urban fabrics between the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the Boston Harbor while simultaneously designing to circumvent disastrous situations due to the potential storm water surges. As a result, the building acted as an interactive museum and laboratory/ofďŹ ce space while using the facade as the catalyst for the program initiative. The facade acts upon the sun and transfers its use based on a series of rotations and interactive pockets of space in between awnings and supporting laboratory connections.

Spring 2016: Professor Mark Pasnik

Maverick Square, Boston MA This semester was driven on a trip abroad to London to study the affects of tactical urbanism. After the trip, we returned and applied our studies to a variety of projects throughout Boston’s urban fabric. I chose to activate Maverick Square with an urban theatre encompassed with a fluid canopy. The goal was to activate an underutilized parking lot with a series of viable programs supported by a renovated cafe space adjacent to the lot. I chose to implement an urban theater supported by consistent flow of circulation and passage, activating the space and causing potential future development around the area.
