PERCEIVED FRAGMENTATION

a school for dance and performance art, st. louis riverfront

Situated adjacent to the monumental Eads Bridge in St. Louis, this project aims to activate the riverfront through human motion. A school for dance and performance art injected into a vacant space feeds off the surrounding infrastructural energies - metro-link, highway, river traffic, freight train, bike, and pedestrian. Through a series of formal and informal performance venues, perception of the dance is fragmented, sliced by design. The ground floor built and natural, merge as a public pedestrian landscape that follows the natural contour east toward the river. The performance extends onto the river with a riverfront stage and waterfront park. A fixed 200 seat dance theater is rooted in the landscape adjacent to the masonry bridge, while the remainder of the dance school hovers over the landscape on the north edge of the site, designed with a strategy of top lighting and reference to the Martin Luther King bridge to the north.

Performance is art that is based on time and motion. In performance, the audience isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t separate from the work. The audience engages in the experience of the performance.

Q A

How can the notion of a typical school of performance, divided into enclosed performance and rehersal areas be challenged?

How do you make the audience part of the work?

What if...

The viewer has to perform.

the boundaries of performance extended beyond the limits of a room?

the distinction between performer, viewer and performance were blurred?

LA LINK

a metro transit center bridging a los angeles highway divide

This proposal aims to serve as an element of public infrastructure connecting the new Bergamot Expo station, crossing the Santa Monica City Yards and Highway 10 south of the site. The extensive L.A. highway system often distorts the scale of smaller structures within the city and acts as a divider as well as a connector. On a former landfill site, the project engages Santa Monicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progressive views on transport, moving away from the automobile-centric LA as well as waste reduction with their 2030 zero waste goals. In a complex gesture, the project interweaves the industrial landscape of the yards with new public landscape. The public programs include cafes, Santa Monica Bike and Ride and City Yards functions. The Santa Monica City Yards [recycling, city signage, fire safety, etc] continues to share the site with the new gesture. The pedestrian gesture is lifted off the ground allowing access across the highway. The ground strategy incorporates bioswales as a remediation technique for both the former landfill soil as well as to remove silt and pollution the surface runoff on site. Tubes are inserted into the ground surrounded by tall grasses in the landscape as a bioremediation technique. Increased oxygen supply to the contaminated landfill soil speeds the remediation process and the tubes also allow the addition of bioremediators, or organisms for soil cleansing.

SCHOOL + RECYCLING FACILITY

a factory for more than education in a buenos aires slum

Villa 31 is a slum settled on a highly controversial strip of land in the city center of Buenos Aires adjacent to the major railway, shipping port, airport and is divided by a major highway. The city and Villa 31 residents approved a masterplan for redevelopment in 2012 and this project aims to integrate into the development of the slum with a school + additional program of choice on a site within the villa. The + redefines the recycling process in Buenos Aires through the addition of a cartón recycling facility to a school for all ages. The city’s most organized form of recycling is through the work of the cartóneros, from villas such as Villa 31 who make their livelihood by sorting through street trash of neighborhoods such as the adjacent Recoleta. As retail shuts down around 6 pm, the streets fill with cartóneros - men, women and often their children, collecting cartón for cash. A 24-hour facility catering to the cartóneros and traditional schooling during the day. Cartón is delivered to the site, processed into pulp and manufactured into sheet building material to be sold or used for building in the rapidly growing Villa 31. The facility benefits the economy of Villa 31, increases knowledge in building arts through talleres and Buenos Aires profits from a reduction of waste. The massing was organized through a series of slices through the landscape across the road from the informal housing. Cartoneros carve into the landscape from the west and the escuela folds over from the east allowing talleres and the escuela secondaria to intertwine between the programs. The branched concrete structure mimics the unfinished nature of villa rooftops and supports the cast-in-place concrete shell forms. Critic: Fabian Llonch | Fall 2012 | Buenos Aires, Argentina 32

SYSTEMATIC SECTIONS

an ecological research facility in humid mississippi

The complexity and intricacy of the dragonfly wing structure was the basis of exploration for the design. A pattern commonly found in nature on this tiny creature informed what became a dynamic double skin exterior for the tower responding to the humid climate of Mississippi. Nine levels of research labs stack on a double-height atrium and auditorium. The building envelope extends onto the landscape in the form of test plots and research stations. Our studio visited the site in Mississippi and spent a number of weeks studying the humid climate. Through researching, this site chosen is in the prairie landscape of the nature reserve where the ground is burned routinely to stimulate growth and new plant species. This knowledge in addition to the humid climate lead to an elevated tower form. Critic: Heather Woofter | Spring 2011 | Mississippi

NEW MASONIC TEMPLE

an architecture museum in a neoclassical temple

In 1926, the New Masonic Temple opened with 25,000 members, but at present this population has decreased to a mere 50. Located in the heart of Grand Center, St. Louis, an architecture museum is proposed within this existing historic context, an addition to the surrounding cultural hub in the city. To increase natural light for the museum, the floor plates are carved away from the existing exterior walls. The existing structure is a steel frame with stone exterior cladding giving an illusion of solid masonry from the exterior. This approach to natural light in the museum spaces reveals the original structure, appropriate for an architecture museum. Additional program selected for the project are event space, an Imax theater, and food components including a market and catering. Critic: Andrew Cruse | Spring 2012 | St. Louis

RIVERFRONT HOUSING

core housing studio in st. louis

The Mississippi River defining the borders of St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois is characterized by heavy industrial barge traffic and annual rising tide. Vacancy of land is high in St. Louis City including this stretch of riverfront property, south of the Gateway Arch. A 30 unit housing complex consisting of live-work, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, achieves an indirect framed view for each resident rather than directly facing the vast Mississippi. The form of the bar building creates an inner courtyard for residents. The southern bar building, consisting of six live-work units, is connected to the northern bar by public space. Overlooking the river with an unobstructed view, this space is flexible for community meetings, yoga, receptions or events. The courtyard extends below the northern building as it is lifted off the ground. The community is encouraged to engage in this shared space. Critic: Matt Horvath | Fall 2011 | St. Louis, Missouri

Solar Radiation & Solar Insolation Sunlight, or solar radiation, is the electromagnetic radiation given off from the sun.

Solar Radiation Range

Insolation is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time. Some of the solar radiation is absorbed, but the majority is reflected back into the atmosphere. This causes radiant heating. The solar radiation range in St. Louis is fairly consistent throughout the year with the highest levels reached in June and July. Solar insolation is also the highest during these summer months. (Climate Consultant)

SUZHOU CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL | HKS

ENERGY EFFICIENCY = ONE CUBIC FOOT AIR

PATIENT ROOM

= ONE HVAC CONTROLLED VOLUME

insulate patient from direct air ﬂow existing air constantly replaced with clean air only hospital condition where some exhaust air is recirculated independent temperature control

CO2 MONITORING monitors installed within the duct system sensor sends signal to damper within ducts to control air ﬂow reduces energy consumption CO2 monitor conditioned air from VAV
