PROJECT
The project aims to develop this central location and its heterogeneous surroundings in the polycentric Berlin into a dynamic quarter known as “Urbane Mitte am Gleisdreieck”, thereby endowing the area with its own identity and contemporary architecture. The development will open up a wide variety of possibilities for usage, mirroring the location’s identity and connecting back to its surroundings. About two-thirds of the site will be used for office space, hotels and retail space, while one-third will be allocated for residential properties, amenities and services, leisure activities, art, culture and residential units.

Project Overview
Concept Sketches / Diagrams
The design intent is to preserve the historic structures among the trees in the Heritage Area as they are. An elevated building volume allows unobstructed view as well as opens the circulation along the east-west direction. The design does not interrupt the view and circulation with buildings but instead proposes this new urban center as symbol that integrates with the context.

RECLAIMING SPACE FOR ART + HISTORY DATE 2013
SIZE

LOCATION
Atlanta, Georgia
TYPE
Residential / Commercial
PROJECT
The Atlanta History Center has an inherent responsibility to preserve and re-present Atlanta’s past, while anticipating the unknowable events and artifacts of the future. Atlanta is a work in progress, a relatively young city in the midst of forming itself. The proposal reorganizes the current plan, develop a new entry, and add new exhibition space on the north side. The intent of our project is to spatially unify the museum, anticipate future needs, and to strengthen its identity as a key civic institution of Atlanta. Three new unifying architectural elements are proposed to transform the existing AHC: A monumental roof and undulating ceiling amalgamates the disparate interior spaces; a long transparent façade, presents a new civic image of the museum; and a new addition, fills in the western corner, “completing” and consolidating the various existing parts of the museum.
23
The roof is conceived as a city scaled, welcoming gesture, its broad overhang provides shade and shelter to the arriving visitor and blurs the boundary between inside and outside. The gently suspended, undulating underside of the roof forms a continuous sequence of fluid spaces from entry to the overlook. Poetically choreographing the visitor’s movement through the museum. The ceiling floats above the existing roofs, allowing new light to enter through transforms and edge skylights. Roof Diagram

The owners emphasized family interaction, connectedness, and communal living. This resulted in a large open living space combining kitchen, living, and dining into a year - round indoor/outdoor living experience. With a flush-mounted, fully operable 12 foot tall by 35 foot long glass wall, the line between indoor and outdoor living is blurred. Connection between all remaining spaces, interior and exterior culminates here.

PROJECT
Emanating from a high-desert hillside amidst rugged volcanic rock and twisted juniper trees the Buddhist Retreat rises up and out toward a spectacular view Capitol Reef National Park. In addition to its function as a secondary residence, this dwelling in Grover, Utah was designed to be a desert sanctuary for Tibetan Buddhist practice. Its intent is to intertwine everyday activities with singular moments that are typically reserved for spiritual rituals, thus heightening and sanctifying the act of living. Whether it be framing the detail of an ancient pinion pine or extending out into the spatial expanse of a wrapping panorama, the Buddhist Retreat’s purpose is to creating rich and diverse moments of living.

COMPETITION
The Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University, and Germany’s University, and Germany’s University of Applied Sciences Ehrfurt (FHE) have united too design and build the first-ever Solar Decathlon entry to incorporate a complete textile enclosure. The house, built to Passivhaus energy standards and powered exclusively by solar power, built for the 2014 Solar Decathlon competition in Versailles, France.

House of Play
Light / Material Studies
Dr端ber + Drunter is a housing project designed to be easily transported anywhere and to expand and contract its spaces in order to adapt to the needs of the occupants. The frames that form the structure are able to be packed for transportation and can be easily disassembled/constructed with fabrics that join them together.
The core of the house is a fixed space and the walls can be pushed and pulled out thus creating an opportunity for greater occupancy. For example, if the occupant is having a party and there are more people than space, the walls can be pushed out to enlarge the living room in the front of the house or if there are guests that are too indisposed to drive home, the walls can be pushed to create an extra bedroom space.
The overall structure will be sent overseas to Versailles, France which means that it needs to be as light as possible. The team researched airplane wings due to the fact that it is light as well as structural.
36
Construction To reach the Passive House Standard—one that uses 90% less energy for heating and cooling than a standard house—the house’s innovative textile wall assembly required a design that combined highly efficient insulation with materials that resist fire and dampen sound. The photovoltaic array covering the curved surfaces is innovative, lightweight, flexible and efficient—the curvature of which helps to capture more solar energy over the course of a day than a flat system.
Materials & Innovation One of the most spectacular tasks during the initial construction in Rhode Island was stretching the innovative outer textile shell over the 800 square-foot house, which is made of a flexible fiberglass material called Sheerfill® II Architectural Membrane with EverClean® Photocatalytic Topcoat.
Collaboration Structural Construction Detailing Detailed the required construction documents: structural sections, roofing plan, framing plan, structural floor plan, structural roof plan, and structural details for the Design Development deadline for submission to Solar Decathlon Europe. Construction Coordination / Site Operations Worked closely with consultants at Simpson Gumpertz & Hegar (Boston) and Saint Gobain (Tensile Fabric Specialists in Germany) one of the lead student designers on our 100+ team, communicating our design aesthetics and needs to find the best spatial planning and structural solution for our house’s tensile membrane enclosure and urban design concepts.
37
Project Overview The innovative use of textiles, rather than conventional heavy wall construction, allows us to build sleek, flexible forms, engineered to meet the stringent passive house energy standard. An optimally contoured solar array generates electricity while solar thermal vacuum tubes provide hot water, resulting in a net-zero, energy independent prototype that consumes 90% less heating and cooling energy than an average American home. This experimental structure offers the inhabitant options to shift both the interior/exterior spaces. This promotes an experience that fuses together the interchange between the inhabitant and the constant changing of the surrounding landscape through the interweaving of people and the context that it is placed in.

Competition & Rural Aggregation In the proposed site plan, the aggregation of several attached Techstyle Hauses mimic a hedgerow condition at the edge of a field. The assemblage is set on piers so as not to disturb the ground plain or flow of water to fruit and vegetable gardens. The curving roofs collect rainwater that is both used in the houses and recycled to irrigate the gardens. Inspired by the goal of zero net land artificialization in France by 2025, as championed by the French Minister of Territorial Equality and Housing Cécile Duflot, our team set a project goal to develop a new paradigm for rural habitation, one that: • Maximizes the sustainable use of existing settlements • Incentivise rural population retention • Restores rural ecologies, improved human habitat management.
39
A Broader Strategy Even the most efficient urban environments rely on the input of resources and labor from near as well as distant rural environments to sustain their high levels of consumption. This project considers the critical catalytic role of architecture in the vast open and settled environments of rural production. Many regions have become zones of underpopulated villages and ecologically depleted landscapes, threatened by American style suburban sprawl. It is critical that we optimize and integrate the ecological, infrastructural, and cultural potentials of rural landscapes.

Civic Architecture
PROJECT
This was the final act in a series of investigations into the relationship between architecture and language. It comments on the place of theatre in contemporary culture. It began as an investigation into the nature of performance and the spoken word. The study considered the relationship between performance and audience and how architectural space might facilitate, and begin to embody that relationship. The project developed as an investigation into the history of theatre and theatre typology, and resulted in a serious, credible, but still poetic proposition for a structure in the city. The ultimate aim was an extended investigation into the possibilities of meeting the poetic with the quotidian and practical. It was an exercise in which architecture is itself the means of inquiry, with drawing as a research mechanism, and where the conventions of architectural process are questioned and redefined.

Site Map
A central location provides immediate proximity to other local businesses and civic institutions. The city is known as the ‘creative capital’ where music, art, and community are integrated into a 50 mile radius. There are three community theatres in the downtown area of the proposed location. Such proximity to one another reduces costs for transportation while increasing transparency of the growth process itself. More importantly, by integrating the farm into the heart of the city rather than on the periphery, citizens are more encouraged to participate in its use.
This prime location acts as a bridge between the urban downtown environment to the north and the dense residential district to the south. It is also located directly next to one of the oldest historic shopping centers in the world. Given that the purpose is education and awareness, not productivity, it is important to try and foster these relationships to take full advantage of their benefits.
The given site is located directly on a vibrant and active canal. This naturally divides the city into two distinct growing areassunny and shady- in addition to providing the site with greater diversity. The building facade of the theatre has been used as a parking lot for over thirty years. The project intention is to revitalize the area as well as offers a unique opportunity to demonstrate to the community the significance of art and theatre.

PROJECT
The goal of this project was to create a design in response to the topic of “hierarchy� and through collaboration the focus of the project was to deconstruct the pyramid into its essence, layer by layer. The main project challenge looks to infuse the form with new forward thinking ideas integrated using a variety of modern aesthetic tastes. The project questions the value system of art through its focus on the hierarchical form of print-making. The rise of the designer first begins with the understanding of the people who assist in the generation of art, its the people who are a unseen by the art world.
49
Deconstructing Hierarchy The deconstruction of the pyramid questions the relevance of the hierarchical status of the art world. The form graphically represents a series of ordering groupings of people or things within a system, the point leading to the collapse of the hierarchy is in essence: to respond. In which way can artists do this? By deconstruction and changing the layout of the hierarchical pyramid.
