REVIVAL OF LONG BRANCH THROUGH REUSABILITY Spring 2013
The residents of Long Branch are in need to reconnect with their surroundings to understand the importance of the benefits that contribute to the revival of the town as well as the causes of Long Branch deteriora on. The proposed design includes two different networks. The first network is composed by exis ng sidewalks and new proposed paths throughout the whole site. The paths system would serve as the method of connec on between different points around the site. This network will offer a transi onal space from one side to the other. The majority of the paths lead to the plaza where the second network is implemented. The second network includes the building’s façade which consists of a series of precast panels that serve as water collectors. The series of panels have cavi es that permit the water to be collected and redirected through internal pipes to harves ng tanks located underground. The basins hold and redirected water to self-serve few ponds located in the plaza. Also, this harvested water can be used for irriga on systems, flush the toilets of the building and pressure washing. When these basins are over flown, the water is redirected to another basin that uses infiltra on to recharge the ground or redirect the water directly to the wetland through pipes. This network also includes rain gardens, and permeable paving sidewalks and bike paths. These two different systems are known for their capacity to absorb storm water and slowly infiltrate the water to the ground. 4

The Long Branch Emergency Center has a green roof that offers a community garden space. The roof system is a metal roof decking over steel frame structure. This roof system provides enough support to hold an intensive green roof. The community garden space not only will provide a recreational park for the community but also a space for produce. Because of these functions and the capacity of the intensive roof to hold a variety of plants, the selection of the plants can be diverse allowing trees, shrubs and grasses.

GRADUAL INTEGRATION Liberty State Environmental Center Fall 2012 VISUAL CONNECTION

PHYSICAL CONNECTION
The building will incorporate nature allowing human interac on. This will reinforce the concept of gradual integra on of architecture and nature. The introduced systems would help to create a visual blur between where nature ends and where the architecture begins and vice versa. In order to introduce human to nature I will provide paths that will gradually adapt them to their surroundings. Through these educa onal paths human will be gradually integrated with nature; crea ng awareness and understanding of the dierent habitats exis ng on the site. The path of the building will implement the exis ng site ground condi on in order to preserve the circula on flow through the site. The building will incorporate nature allowing human interac on. This will reinforce the concept of gradual integra on of architecture and nature. The introduced systems would help to create a visual blur between where nature ends and where the architecture begins and vice versa. 12
INTEREST AND GOAL -Human lack of interac on with nature. -Reconnect humans with nature by integra ng architecture into the site. Humans are part of nature and in a perpetual interac on with her. “Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of air he breaths, the water he drinks, the food he eats� (A. Spirkin). However, humans are far from understanding the ecosystem and how fragile it is. Throughout mes human ac ons have involved irra onal behaviors. These behaviors have amplified aggrava on of the present pollu on problem. Man is in need of extensive and deep contact with nature. If a man-nature rela onship is reinforced, humans begin to understand the importance of healthy ecosystem for their survival. This interac on will lead to a change in human’s behavior in rela on to nature. It will enable mankind to act with sense of responsibility and direct their a en on towards ways to protect the environment.

- The form of the environmental center is informed by the existing physical conditions of the site. -It will be derived as an extension of the natural landscape. - This area has different habitats, one close to the other. This feature help to introduce human to nature and the different habitats through the educational paths without walking the entire site.

COMMUNAL CORRIDOR Newark Edge Housing Fall 2011
The Communal Corridor is designed to engage the public and meet the needs of the community by acƟvaƟng the ground floor. Responding to the site condiƟons, it will provide program for the community in which residents involvement is required. The program includes a communal garden geared for educaƟonal purposes where growth of produce is encourage. Other features include a playground for the YWCA, adjacent to the site, with a basketball court and mural wall. 18

The studio floor was splitted into four parts with a seven-foot difference in elevation, creating spatial experiences. The shifting in height gives a sense of spatial autonomy to each division without having walls in between. Travelling from one studio to the other feels like going from one building to another.

Goals: Gradual introduc on of the public to Aballon Corpora on pellet processing plans. Design Intent: Gradual introduc on of the residents from public to private spaces through open and enclosed builgings using bamboo and mud. These are na ve materials use for the structure and enveloped systems. Open = Public - Enclosed = Private 30

Both systems are meshed, where the sharing of space is fundamental. The bamboo members reinforce the mud and provide stability to the walls. The systems share function to ensure a safe envelope to the building and allow a variety of programatic functions.

The members are embeded in the bottom part where the mud wall is. The bamboo members reinforce the mud providing stability to the walls. On the top, the structural system become the support for the roof. The systems share function to ensure a safe envelope to the building and allow a variety of programatic functions.
The tatching roof provide shade and permeabilty while the structure is supporting the enclousure system. The structural system is angled to optimize water drainage and collection through tatch roof, also to allow light penetration and ventilation.

The hopper and the awing windows can be open to allow air circulation. While the plants provide air filtration throught photosynthesis. This plants not only offer air filtration but also heat absortion. The air pass through the atached screen and can be directed inside the room either thorugh the open the window or by using the vent system.
The bay has been divided in 4 5’ curtainwall modules. The sunscreen are located at both side-ends of the bay providing shade during the summer. The curtain wall modules located on the center of the bay provide open views and light filtration. The use of double glazing with clear glass and low -E coating will prevent 72% heat gain while it allows 71% visible light transmitted
