BURGEON

Burgeon allows farming and gardening to facilitates a reconnection with the outdoors that is used for therapy as well as other nature-based wellness approaches, ensconcing them within the larger ecosystem of their community while also increasing the quality of their day-to-day life. An “Aging in Place” Continuing Care model with a holistic approach focusing on social, physical, and emotional well-being. A multi-generational network gathering and sharing resources, knowledge, and most importantly, stories. A self-sustaining farming community within the Verde River Watershed comprised varying levels of holistic care, research facilities designed to improve the quality of life, and a community based in nurturing one another. Burgeon strategically combines these concepts to create both a social and environmental ecosystem of care and new life in the Verde Valley.

DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER - SPRING 2021

There is a covered walkway integrated within every typology, with covered living areas that vary in size, allowing for a mending between indoor and outdoor living.

The concept begins with the individual and how they occupy their dwellings. We believe communities flourish with time and as the residents “age in place”, the architecture follows.

The housing typologies are designed to increase natural interaction with the community through the shared areas and paths in what we are calling the “mews”- the space in between.

Though there are multiple typologies, the strategy of the floor plan remains the same. Circulation surrounds the edge of the unit, so the living core is centralized allowing for views of the farms, cottonwood trees or the Verde Valley from every side

We are suggesting these ADUs or Additional Dwelling Units to be placed on unused land of existing farms to allow residents to be able to live/interact with another family.

FIRE ESCAPE

Firefighters, as a whole, have been suffering from cancer at an alarming rate; 61% of line-of-duty deaths are caused by cancer. I found that one of the leading solutions is a decontamination zone to intervene right after the firefighters return from a call. Tempe Fire Station No. 8 was designed with this process of decontamination in mind. By providing a building with a common purpose it allows for the firefighters to take the necessary steps in removing harmful carcinogenic chemical but also provides a sense of calm and relaxation. The entire fire station was built with their health and safety in mind, in conjunction with the outdoor spaces and beautiful Arizona sunshine, it provides the ultimate sanctuary for these brave men and women to live.

Through providing calming interiors, outdoor environments, and peace of mind I hope to create a true escape for the firefighters

of Tempe Fire Station Number 8.

The goal of Fire Escape is to is to improve those living conditions of Tempe Fire Station number 8 by reconnecting the firefighters with nature, as well as the quality of the decontamination system, in hopes to prevent these brave individuals from losing their lives in the process of protecting all of ours.

BOROUGH

New York City as we know it is not just Manhattan. It comprised of 5 boroughs carving out individual cultures in the land where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic. Each borough has its own history, style, and culture. The concept of this project is carving out a space within a mid-rise, mixed-use complex that includes affordable housing, a large community wellness facility, and an early childhood education center, all interlaced with a new exterior public waterfront space. A reconnection with nature in the second most populated borough in New York.

THE YAGRUMO APPROACH

There is a saying in Puerto Rico to compare people to the Yagrumo Tree, specifically to its leaves. Although typically used in a negative connotation, this idea of the leaf having two different colored sides but being of the same object was reminiscent of many things associated with this project. From the abstract of culture and political beliefs, to the physical of walls and floors, this notion of the dichotomy but being of the same entity is what fuels the identity of Puerto Rico.

Time : Fall 2020

Studio : Global Engagement Studio

Location : San Juan, Puerto Rico

Team : Vishakha Tuljapurkar + Saber Lyman

The building experience being focused on the Puerto Rican people’s identity, having the structure stay the same felt like it was not expressing the same type of experience as it should. Creating these nodes that expand and contract throughout the floors both vertically and horizontally. Which pulls the exhibit spaces in and out of the building, allowing for different types of views, light quality and movement to be experienced.
