COLLAGE + PROGRAM The conceptual collage on the right began with the exploration of universal spiritual spaces. These explorations lead to the spiritual nature of the forest and outdoors. The concept of not only creating a chapel, but also a garden which allows for outdoor meditation and worship, began to be explored. Once the concept was identified, preliminary program and site analysis began. A bubble diagram was used to begin ordering the spaces within the building.

6,000 SF INTERFAITH CHAPEL The interfaith Chapel consists of a large worship space, meditation rooms, purification alcoves, an informal social room, and a reading room / library. Along with these spaces, there is an administration area, storage, and mechanical/ electrical rooms. The form of the building creates a garden space in the middle allowing for outdoor meditation. Each meditation room has a private Zen garden for those who prefer both the isolation of a meditation room and interaction with the outdoors.

The site for this project is located in Downtown Tampa. The potential building site is a 105 ft x 210 ft plot of land bounded on the east by Tampa Street, on the north by Zack Street, and on the west by Ashley Drive. The total buildable land area is 22,050 square feet. In addition to the building, there is a 105 ft x 105 ft area for a public plaza. The site has an existing building on it which can be built against but must remain on the site.

The parti diagram below highlights the exterior curtain wall, which creates a fully lit walkway around the entire building, and the two selected floors, which have limited visibility due to security reasons and class rooms. This exterior hallway allows visitors to experience the beautiful views of Downtown Tampa while keeping the interior of the building completely isolated from natural sunlight, as this would affect the photography inside.

The site is located near the Royal Docks in London, United Kingdom. Sitting adjacent to the Thames River and approximately 500,000 square feet, the site is accessible to vehicles, pedestrians, and boats. The design is only permitted to permanently build on forty percent of the site. The remainder of the site was designed as public space. Three buildings were designed with a public ground floor, along with residential units in the floors above.

ABSTRACT MOVEMENTS
The exploration of movement and rhythm led to the design of this model. These concepts were the initial drivers for the final design.
Page 53
C O N C E P T H O U S I N G In this project I focused on solving the issue of “the poor door.� This issue forced me to begin to discuss social versus market rate housing and how design can mediate between the two, creating a communityoriented atmosphere.

I designed a third space which consisted of restaurants and microbreweries in order to bring people together. Not only would this begin to address the housing issue, but also start to draw people from all parts of London to the Royal Docks area allowing it to grow into the community it has the potential to be.

PUBLIC VS PRIVATE The ground floor of my project would house all of the restaurants and micro-breweries, allowing everything above to become residential. Within the residential areas of my project, social housing and market rate housing would be decided by views and square footage of each apartment allowing both to be side by side. By creating an engaging environment, people will look past the two types of housing and focus on food, drinks, and enjoying their time in the Royal Docks.

In my final design, I created an atmosphere where not only residents would come to socialize but also people from all around London. The introduction of restaurants and micro-breweries as my third space allows for everyone to come and enjoy their time, whether they are simply going home or looking for an exciting day near the Royal Docks.

OLDSMAR, FLORIDA The original town plan was inspired by L’Enfants boulevards in Washington D.C. In Oldsmar, a majority of the land is dedicated to parks and preserves, which has always been an important element to the town. Oldsmar sits at the top of the Tampa Bay, between Downtown Tampa and Downtown St. Petersburg. The site which is being revitalized is the community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) area, specifically, Park Boulevard and R.E Olds Park. Park Boulevard runs from State Street down to Shore drive along the waterfront.

The maps show different transportation stops and routes which are proposed in order to allow residents and visitors to travel throughout the CRA without the need for a vehicle. Bike share stations and trolley stops will allow for movement throughout the CRA. A proposed special events trolley route will allow the city to provide transportation from proposed parking garages along State Street down to R.E. Olds Park.

In the model images shown, a proposal for a new pier was made. This pier would have an enclosed space for special events and would allow for a venue and possible location of a pop-up cafĂŠ. The first phase of the waterfront is the pier. However, through future phasing and development of the waterfront, a proposal for a new boardwalk running along R.E. Olds would provide a new environment for visitors and residents to spend time outdoors. Located in R.E. Olds Park, there is also a proposal for a structure to act as a pop-up cafe during the day and bar at night, bringing life to the waterfront.

SPANISH L AW OF THE INDIES The city structure and organization found in Madrid and Barcelona reflects the social nature of the Spanish culture. Within the city, the plaza has always been the major cultural and social space. These social spaces not only act as a cultural center for the community, but also as a second front yard for the community. These open areas add complexity and richness to the environment surrounding them. The importance of this feature is demonstrated by the integration of these spaces within every Spanish-influenced city grid. One book which was brought by all conquistadors to the Americas was the Law of the Indies. This book was the handbook to the Spanish city structure. Public social spaces are critical within the urban fabric. However, many cities lack these important spaces causing a broken sense of community.

DOWNTOWN TAMPA The site is located in Downtown Tampa and is bordered by East Jackson Street on the north, North Brush Street on the east, East Washington Street on the south and the Selmon Crosstown Expressway on the west. The Crosstown crosses through the site, essentially splitting the site in two, causing only 50 percent of the site to be developable. I began with an interest in the plaza as the origin of a city. The Spanish laws of the Indies were a set of regulatory restraints in the Spanish design of the city. I aim to take these regulatory constraints and reinterpret them for a more contemporary use. Open public spaces are critical within the design of a city or even a building. These spaces may be seen as view corridors, areas of rest, and social gathering spaces.

The plazas have been isolated and highlighted to emphasize their location within the tower. Each highlighted plaza serves as the social space for the surrounding floors. These social spaces contain both indoor and outdoor areas to allow for use year-round. Different structural column configurations were explored. However, after proper research and exploration each cantilever will be designed to be free-standing.

The floor plans seen are the highlighted plaza levels. Each plaza has a fully landscaped outdoor area. This area allows for the original intent and feeling of a plaza on the ground floor to be experienced 30 stories up. These plazas provide walkways, seating, and gardens. Social spaces are critical in any urban setting. These spaces provide relief whether its is within a city or within a tower itself. The plaza levels allow for social interactions among people, whether they are just passing through or exploring the area.

BRADENTON, FLORIDA This project is located in Bradenton, Florida. The selected site for the intervention is the Bradenton Shuffleboard courts. The Bradenton shuffleboard courts hold so much potential as an activated space within the community. This activity is an opportunity to bring together many generations in a single event. By bringing food and entertainment to the site in a nighttime event, many people will be intrigued. Once people are drawn into the site, there will be many opportunities to keep them there.

By having two shuffleboard lanes open at a time, there will be an opportunity to allow the older generation that knows how to play shuffleboard to interact with the younger generation who is eager to learn new things and learn by playing the game. While there is a shuffleboard game going on, the two lanes adjacent to the game will be activated using seating made from the kit of parts. This seating will be lit by LED lights to create the atmosphere of “cosmic shuffleboard�. Small flat panel TVs will be outfitted with Chrome cast. These TVs along with all of the LED lit furniture begin to address the idea of technology within the site. An app can be used to track scores and make the game interactive with everyone around.

VIE WING PEDISTAL Using the A1A as a viewing pedestal, I was able to create a memory map which begins to characterize my experience as I traveled from Flagler Beach to St. Augustine. The ever changing coastline captured my full attention. Even if my journey was not a long one, the changing landscape in front of me created a story which I have begun to tell through these graphics. The images were taken throughout the same day on the shoreline of Flagler beach. Not only is the coastline constantly in flux, but so are the creatures which inhabit it. This map shows the emotions which overcame me while I was exploring the shoreline. There is an overwhelming sense of calm which juxtaposes the hectic, constantly changing coastline which I began to try and comprehend.

As I began my journey driving from Flagler Beach to St. Augustine on the A1A, I noticed the shifting landscape which I drove upon. This landscaped leaves us with traces of the past, which over time begin to reappear telling us a story of the land. The seamless transition of soft edges through the coastline lends itself to the ethereal beauty found throughout Florida. The stretch of land I began to investigate is often referred to as the “First Coast” or “Historic Coast.” This term refers to the area of the first permanent Spanish settlement in St. Augustine. The coast subtly changes as you move north from Flagler Beach towards St. Augustine.
