JAMES MONROE PUBLIC LIBRARY Washington, DC, Fall 2011 Visual connection is the primary way people navigate their environment. Thus the circulation system allowed the visitor to see the stacks as well as the circulation in a central atrium. Connection is the communication of a city.
The project became a
study of “twining” “perspective” and the “diachronic” viewpoint and the extension and tension of two objects.
GARE DE PARIS RIVE GAUCHE Paris, France, Spring 2011
Collaborative Project Anna Gosselin | Architecture Sean Campbell | Architecture Elizabeth Schminke | Architecture Emily Begley | Interior Design The train station, throughout the various functions users attribute to places of mass transit remains a train station. It remains a neutral static structure in which each dynamic insert fits.
The inserts
also relate to the human scale in proportion and size, encouraging engagement of consumers through the senses similar to the way a street vender would. The modular nature of the design allows for efficient deconstruction and recycling of components to be used in alternative or future projects. The layout of the building is
dictated
through
pedestrian
circulation and is organized around a central atrium providing clarity by view of the trains on all floors.
PUBLIC PROSCENIUM: CONSERVATORY FOR DANCE Savannah, GA, Fall 2012 The Greek origin for the term proscenium is the front of the building forming the background for the drama.
In performance
theory, it is through this window that the audience is emotionally carried to another realm. The drama is often a reflection or exaggerated representation of society. Thus, as many art forms, the stage becomes the
dramatic
perspective
from
which we see ourselves. This idea that we are seeing while also being seen is a common concept in theater design.
The arch is a repetitive
element throughout the design that represents increasingly private thresholds, as though embarking the dramatic silent rhythm of the city.
BYWATER COMMUNITY CENTER New Orleans, LA, Winter 2011 Collaborative Project Anna Gosselin | Architecture Peng Han Wu | Graduate Interior Design The existing horse stable structure is preserved to be reintegrated as part of a cultural history. Alignment in the windows allowed for visual Second Floor Plan
sightlines through the building to reveal its activities to the street. Between the buildings intersected two pedestrian “streets� positioned at the angles of the grid of Frenchman Street, the street of local Jazz culture. These were created to connect and welcome cultural events to take place, such as performance, music and dining.

[ARCHITECTURE AND NARRATIVE How can architecture communicate the human narrative? Using the experience of space as well as works of literature, it is possible to utilize the structure of our stories to communicate the human narrative in architecture. Architecture as a character can be defined by its age and its remembered experience as well as the perception of how people relate to it, which separates it into a dichotomy of both a physical character and a psychological character.
The architecture will be
designed to reach the imagination through the tangible: taking precedent in the reflective, representational, and repetitive nature of humanity’s creations. The works by Thomas Thiis-Evensen, Gaston Bachelard, and Sophia Psarra have become the guides of creating such a space. The creative works of Italo Calvino, Charlie Kaufman, Franz Kafka, Shaun Tan, and Giuseppe Terragni have become the inspiration. Thus it will find connection to a place through memory and oneiric experience, how we develop and design relationships, culminating in the communicative nature of architecture.
Thesis Exploration
THURESON RESIDENCE Savannah GA, Summer 2013 Professional Project Gretchen Callejas | Project Architect Anna Gosselin | Intern Architect This is a new design for a house at the Ford Plantation.
The
plan is neoclassical and was not approached with a completion date in mind. It developed slowly and felt more like an exercise to begin to understand Southern Neoclassical residences.
109 MARTIN LUTHER KING BLVD Savannah GA, Fall 2013 Professional Project Gretchen Callejas | Project Architect Anna Gosselin | Intern Architect This project was to rehabilitate the historic Greyhound Station along MLK Jr. Blvd. Designed to house a new restaurant to Savannah, it was intended to recreate many of the “characteristic� elements such as the Deco facade. The original facade was faced with blue vitrolux and ivory vitolite, which is no longer produced today.
Instead,
a glazed cladding was proposed. Construction has begun, and the estimated date of occupation is in fall of 2014.

wanted minor changes to the layout of the interior spaces. The exterior stair on the rear was enclosed, the kitchen was expanded, the master bedroom became a family room and was moved upstairs, and the attic was opened up to become a guest room. Overall the changes simplified the plan.
