The NVRC will be one of the most important new buildings on Syracuse University’s campus. Not only is it meant to be a welcoming and useful place for veteran’s and their families, but it is also the first building in the new campus Framework Plan, and thus will set the example for university buildings to come after it.
In response to this, we designed the parti of our NVRC to mimic the campus framework, which consists of bars of built, urban-esque areas, with connecting pathways throughout the campus. Not only does this create a modular design to be mimicked around the campus, but also creates urban-esque spaces within the project, that allow spacial separation, and yet allow visual connections throughout the project.

ECYCLING ON MANHATTANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WEST SIDE Saturated with educational institutions, populated by a diverse citizenry, and located nearby a generous public greenspace, the Lincoln Center neighborhood seems an unlikely setting for Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Material Recovery Facility (MRF). With particular attention to recreation and particpation, the pairing of a library and parkscape with the MRF aims to rectify the usually unwelcome characteristics of such industrial operations. $

IDEA LAB & COMMUNITY CENTER Brooklyn, NY Spring 2014 | Prof. Bess Krietemeyer
22
Located on the Smith & 9th St. subway station in Brooklyn, this IDEA lab is designed to promote solutions for the pollution problem that has plagued this industrial part of Brooklyn for years. To include this mundane site in Brooklynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising status, I have combined the lab with a community center, so it will be easy for those producing the ideas to share them with the community, and for the community to be part of the change. With large amounts of foot traffic from the center and the subway station, the site has the potential to bring life to industrial Brooklyn, and this proposal hopes to help the site reach its full potential.

As the name suggests, Catholic church is designed Churchthis of the Resurrection as a reflection on the death and resurrection of Jesus, via circulation and sequence geometrically similar 1. Jesus is put in through the tomb volumes. However, due to the importance of the site, the - Religious contemplation church also serves to activate the adjacent public piazza, by - Baptistry providing contemplation spaces deep within the site, and public spaces along the perimeter. 2.

THE EXQUISITE HEALING SPACE A CRITIQUE OF CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER & THE OPTIMIZATION OF ARCHITECTURE Thesis Project Fall 2016 - Spring 2017 | Prof. Joseph Godlewski
36
The place of psychology in architecture has always been a contentious topic. Though the physical environment has an effect on how occupants feel and behave, neither architects nor psychologists have been able to produce environments that can consistently create a desired effect. To address this situation, many architects, such as Christopher Alexander, have utilized methods similar to those of psychologists, consisting of patterns, graphs, and statistics. The desire for order to solve and explain this unknown phenomenon is evident, and has resurfaced many times in the past century, but has yet to be proven effective. In my thesis, I plan to critique this systemization and optimization of the design process for the purpose of creating the perfect environment, by employing my own rigorous system to create a series of pavilions programmed as public healing spaces, meant to be a place of relaxation and calmness. To inform the methodology, and for the study to remain unbiased, I will reference the work of Alexander, as he is one of the largest proponents for this method of design, and has spent many decades attempting to perfect the system. By creating a system of components, surveys, and modifications that are closely informed by Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methods, I hypothesize that the resulting designs will be far from the regularity of the system itself, and instead will more closely resemble the surrealistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exquisite corpse, demonstrating that the desire for regularity and order may be less of a boon, and more of a hindrance.

INTO THE FOLD:
A FREEDOM BY DESIGN PROJECT Designed in collaboration with Jon Anthony and Tiffany Pau Proposal drawings in collaboration with Jake Copich, Jon Anthony, and Tiffany Pau Construction Drawings in collaboration with Jon Anthony, Tiffany Pau, Stephen Muir, and Russell Sheer Syracuse, NY Summer 2013 - Spring 2014 (End of Involvement) Into the Fold is an accessibility ramp for the Westminster Church in Syracuse. It was commissioned to provide accessibility for the members of its aging parish that are unable to climb the stairs that stood in front of all entrances to the sanctuary. To solve this, as well as the threat of falling icicles, we designed a ramp and awning. Also, to further stimulate the surrounding community, we incorporated space for outside worship and activities. Like all other Freedom by Design projects, Into the Fold was designed, pitched, drawn, budgeted, and built by members of the chapter. ARMAND DAMARI SKETCHES IN ORDER OF DEVELOPMENT 12. 20.13

In order to alleviate these social problems, the design team propose a ramp for Westminster that wraps around the site, or "Wramp" for short. The design intention was to create a safe space for the community by integrating seating and an outdoor barbeque space as well as to solve the technical issue of accessibility. The ramp, which extends for 24ft and rises 2 ft, is enclosed on the side by a wrapping structure that protects users from falling icicles, diverting gravitational force using its multiplanar shape.

Twin Wall Polycarbonate has an impact strength 200 times greater than glass and 8 times greater than acrylic. It is 1/6 the weight of glass and 1/3 the weight of acrylic. Twin Wall Polycarbonate is compliant with most international standards for flame resistance, at very high temperatures, material melts but flames do not spread. This material will not crack or split when cut, sawn or drilled. Solar grade co-extruded layer protects the sheet against yellowing and surface wear from extruded UV exposure. Twin Wall Polycarbonate sheets are designed for an endless range of glazing and roofing applications, for extreme weather conditions, and are known for their light transmitting and reflective qualities. They are attractive, durable, easy to install, and protect people and property inside a structure from the elements and from damaging UV radiation.

PROFESSIONAL WORK Spectrum Health - Grand Rapids, MI Summer 2016 During my summer at Spectrum Health, I had the opportunity to be part of a Facilities department that oversees the eight million square feet owned and used by the healthcare giant, which is still expanding at an incredible rate. Under the architects in the facilities dept., I assisted with drawing and planning for many of the personnel moves and renovations across the entire organization, and also went around the West Michigan region surveying many of the buildings of the newly acquired practices, so that the department would have record of the plans and site. It was also my responsibility to add all these changes and additions to ProLease for the department. In addition, I also was asked to help the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push for more evidencebased design across its facilities, to make the most of the space already available. In response, the other two design interns and I visited many of the facilities and gathered data and asked the staff, practitioners, and patients questions about each space, and how it could be improved. We focused mainly on the overall layout of the exam rooms and work areas. After this process, we presented our findings of effectiveness and efficiency of each layout to the leadership of Spectrum Health.
