FALL 2015 ADVANCED STUDIO WITH ELIA ZENGHELIS
NEW DATUM - THESSALONIKI 4
The 1950’s in Greece saw rapid socio-economic changes and urbanization, under such urgency that there was no time for theory or planning. The resulting typology from this urbanization was the Polykatoikia, a five to seven story private block development which forms a relentless datum across the ever expanding city. The Polykatoikia forms walls around streets and urban voids, which are almost exclusively archaeological sites. As a result public and green space is in crisis in Thessaloniki. The premise of the studio aims to densify the center, consolidating the borders of the city while
gifting the city with new public park space. Whilst this project doesn’t claim to provide a solution to the Polykatoikia problem, it does seek to ask provocative questions. Can the center of Helexpo decongest itself of desolate buildings and bring a new urban park to the city while simultaneously providing mass housing to residents and dormitories for nearby Aristotle University of Thessaloniki? Can the prototypical separation of housing types, dormitories, single family, studio, one and two bedrooms be combined and benefit from one another’s presence? Can eclectic financial and social

demographics exist inside of a coherent and architecturally unified environment? The project tests ambitious design merged with contextual specificity; engaging with “Greekness� as an expression of democratic design. The Polykatoikia is met with a provocative extension of its type, a new datum for the city of Thessaloniki.
Emblematic Image: The image is a collection of disparate experiences, happening simultaneously behind the scenes and in the spotlight. In this mixing chamber, social stratification becomes exposed through its immediate adjacency. Emperors mix with thieves in a space of no escape. Masked from the city, an inward looking building, whose exteriority becomes inverted, a mask flipped inside out. The outside is on the inside and the inside is on the outside, a two sided mirror to society and its stratifications.

PLAYTIME ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL - UPENN 36
The project’s massing takes on a radial form stemming from the center of the quad, the sides of which are cut by a long diagonal pathway and an adjacent building. Studio spaces are partitioned into smaller milieus, arrayed around the perimeter of the building, and clinging to an inflated facade system. Glass windows interrupt the ETFE facade, allowing for clear views and ventilation for the students, and spiral around the envelope in a corkscrew formation. The perimeter studios are stitched together through programmatic bridges that distort and inflect themselves on the facade. The bridges
provide enclosed classrooms and research spaces, the tops of which provide places of spontaneity in the form of unprogrammed collective space. Individual studio spaces are subjected to collective bridges to promote contradiction and serendipity.

DANCE MACHINE - HIGHLINE 54
The project explores the dance studio through the lens of simultaneity. Three dance studios array themselves around a central gathering space that envelopes the inhabitants within a performance. The dance studios spiral sectionally until meeting at the central auditorium volume that defines the roof of the gathering space. The multifaceted volumes are defined by view corridors placed at key contextual approaches to the site, hiding and revealing itself to the city.

BUILDING PROJECT PROTOTYPE - NEW HAVEN 58
The Yale Building Project began with a small prototype of 800sf, subdivided into an owner’s unit of 500 sf and a tenant’s unit of 300sf. The project uses a utility wall to separating living from sleeping spaces, as well as supporting the tenant’s unit, which cantilevers slightly at the main entrance. The wall, in the shape of an “L”, holds the bathroom, as well as the kitchen. This core terminates with a skylight & green roof. The contraction of an owner & tenant unit are expressed as two volumes of differing materials & fenestration patterns. Windows are placed as regularly as possible. A staircase
carves the tenant’s side and reveals a terrace & separate second floor entrance for the smaller unit. The staircase can alternatively be covered over and connected to the main owner’s unit to create one large enclosed house. The parking is placed at the rear of the site. To mediate the small size of the house in relationship to its neighbors, a forecourt is placed at the front to give the house more prominence & shared space.

BUILDING PROJECT TEAM F - NEW HAVEN 66
The Yale Building Project continued with the development of a detailed design proposal in a team of seven students. Our proposal utilized a cruciform core holding the functions of integrated systems, bathrooms, & kitchens. The relationship of the owner to tenant unit is defined by the cruciform, dividing the tenant and owner into two units on the ground floor, under a single volume. The owner’s unit has a mudroom, kitchen & living space on the ground floor, with a staircase incorporated into the cruciform core leading to a master bedroom, bathroom, and balcony. Both units have
facades facing the front and back of the house. The back yard is split between a large lawn for the owner, and a smaller private terrace for the tenant’s unit.

SPORTS PARK - BRIDGEPORT 76
Bridgeport, CT, is in dire need of coastline resilience strategies, storm water treatment, and economic & public space improvements. During Hurricane Sandy, Bridgeport suffered major infrastructure inequalities; the storm water system overflowed with 19.5 million gallons of partially treated sewage that flooded streets and parks, 20 times that of neighboring cities such as Stamford. Our proposal for Bridgeport takes on vacant lots and residual space around the I-95 in the area of the Bridgeport Stadium. Currently this swath of vacant land, together with the highway, cut off the central
downtown area with the waterfront. Parking lots that are left empty except on game days do not contribute to the urban life in Bridgeport, offering desolate, unlit spaces within the city. As a means of increasing revenue, public life & safety, our research into digital billboards determined that these vacant lots could generate an extra 4.2-9.5 million dollars for the city annually, while simultaneously generating light in unsafe places. Using the light generated from digital billboards as well as their revenue, the city can invest in a sponge-like

sports park for storm water collection and urban play. The sports park is designed to accommodate large soccer fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pools, and volleyball courts. A typical garden cistern system becomes the inspiration behind using subtle elevational changes to storm water in the event of overflows. Our site can hold up to 22.6 million gallons of water, which would significantly reduce local property damages from events like Hurricane Sandy.

SPRING 2016 ADVANCED STUDIO WITH SAM JACOB & SEAN GRIFFITHS
MINIMUM # LINES MAXIMUM # THINGS - PECKHAM 92
The project is presented as a collection of things. Grids, lines, artifacts, architectural hybrids, constructed artifacts, become a project about the possibilities of architecture. Early “Gridscapes” combine Corbusier’s monumental project of modernism and hygiene, the Villa Savoye, with John Smith’s 1612 map of Virginia. Mechanized space of the 20th Century crosses with calligraphic landscapes of 17th Century representation. Constructed artifacts deal with the nature of the line as a hybridized thing, capable of changing material properties from charred to natural wood, seamlessly spliced with resin.
Early artifacts and Gridscapes deploy themselves on a site in Peckham. The project becomes a world enveloping contradictory things, Spa and Meat Market, Gallery and Residential spaces, self-referential proportions, and calligraphic ribbon windows all come together in a Polyphonic world about representation and architecture.

MACHINED BODY - CAMBRIDGE 140
The project brief called for complex hybrid programming of a wheelchair fabrication shop, gallery & retail spaces, a cafĂŠ, fitness & wellness center, and small residential units. The building was therefore conceived of as an entire workshop; a traveling armature of mechanized work stands liberate the workspace to extend throughout the building. Research into surrounding turn-of-the-century industrial buildings also revealed a rich history of warehouse and factory typologies; photographic research into the Cambridge area uncovered evidence of boilerplate and stamping machines
whereby each individual worker possessed a prosthetic hydraulic armature that allowed the work to be done. The hydraulic arms of the workshop cross site specificity with pragmatic accessibility. Material explorations were informed by the local history of stamped materials, intertwining reflection with opacity. The workshop distills and distributes program in a mechanical way, taking the inner mechanisms of a watch as inspiration. The corner site is absorbed into a large mat building with four courtyards, which change their character based on adjacent programs.

WITH GREN WEIS ARCHITECTS 2012-PRESENT
THE WAYNE GRETZKY WINERY - NIAGARA 152
Currently under construction, the design of the Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery integrates itself into a vernacular rural Ontario context. The site plan of the winery is buffered with vegetation on all sides, including vineyards at the north and west facades, as well as a tree grove to the south. The winery is a bold low-rise building with a gabled roof at a scale appropriate to its inhabitants and the surrounding landscape. The glazing strategy in the winery not only maximizes day lighting, but also allows for seamless views between interior spaces and the landscape beyond. Large views are an
important feature to set up a point of appreciation and engagement with the vineyards. The inset glazing follows the form of the gable, meant to exaggerate its image as a contemporary yet vernacular building of rural Ontario. The building’s materiality also pays homage to the surrounding context, using a light metal roof, stained wood siding, and a mixture of concrete/stone interventions. The building’s materials strengthen the image of a historically sensitive design, while remaining minimal, allowing for an appreciation of its surroundings.
