WESTCHESTER STATION Project: Design Innovation Campus. The students are developing a design innovation campus in the Bronx, NY. The unified master plans combine an urban park with three typological structures - a design innovation center, a community center, and a mixed-use residential area that includes a train station. The master plan project was a semester long, fourth year, partner project for each typology. I was lead designer of the train and living typology and also led our team in the design of the mechanical and structural systems. I was also a contributor to the plans sections and rendering production.

SITE INFORMATION As a master plan we analyzed the site. First where it is located in the world and its relation to the Bronx. The site consists of the Bronx River, the east and west banks of the river Concrete Plant Park, and extends to the Metro North, over the Sheraton Expressway, and to the Subway. We then looked at the legistics surrounding the site, population as well as the ages of the people living in the Bronx, poverty levels, car ownership,
as well as the surrounding transportation stops. We also looked at contents of the site such as high tide and low tide and temperature of the water. We concluded that the majority of the visitors to the site would come from public transportation and an access point is needed from the train stops to the site.
SITE INFORMATION

Concrete Plant Park was a run down part of town and is currently being revitalized to become a gathering destination. Jim Mituzas, RLA, designer of the park, has helped restore this polluted area into a family friendly area

USING WATER AS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE
http://www.gizmag.com/sunshine-and-water-into-fuel/28563/
WETLANDS
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE THE WATER: -Use water to make energy through generator turbines. -Using water as another transportation resource -New technology research to take water and sun light and create hydrogen fuel by splitting the hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
CONCEPT We also looked into the type of innovation center we wanted to concentrate on and ultimately chose using water as a renewable resource. We wanted to use something that was already on the site rather than bringing outside resources in. The plan is to use a wetlands method throughout the site to filter the water, pump the water into silos to store, process, and clean the water, then pump the water out to use throughout the site.

GMP - VON GERKAN, MARG, AND PARTNERS
Creates a more pedestrian friendly and accessible interface that accommodates a high speed rail with different modes of transportation and connecting it to the surrounding suburban and urban areas.
The use of daylighting, ventilation, and interactive outdoor spaces creates a space that is comfortable both in winter and summer and day and night.
The train station combines different forms of rail transportation with office buildings that slice into the structure like a bridge. It successfully integrates fast movements from the station with opposing stationary visitors that are accessing the business buildings.

ENTRY/EXIT
SECTION The train station needs to split the medium to create an access bridge that connects to both train rails. Creating this central datum allows both locals and visitors to cross the means of transportation and enter the site and access the train rails easily. The exit entering the site leads right into the concrete plant park as well. The train station is centrally located on the site to benefit both the Community Center and the Design Innovation Center. The Design Innovation Center is located north or up stream on the site to start the purification process of the wetlands, and the Community Center is located on the southern side to be able to connect with the concrete plant

SITE GRID TAKEN FROM SURROUNDING STREETS All three iterations are based on the urban grid and connecting the site to the urban context. The stacked iteration keeps both the living and the train station above the means of transportation. The Train station splits the Metro North and the Subway and creates a bridging datum that brings people on and off of the trains and to the site. It has vertical connections up to the platforms for the Subway and down to the Metro North. It continues up to a restaurant and outdoor space and eventually to the rooms. Here all rooms get a view of the site as well as a view of the Sheraton Expressway and the two train rails.

SITE GRID TAKEN FROM SURROUNDING STREETS All three iterations are based on the urban grid and connecting the site to the urban context as shown above. The train station keeps the same central datum and connects to the Metro North and the Subway. This datum contains multi use spaces as well as a look out space and leads to the lobby of the living on one side and to the concrete plant park on the other side. Here all rooms get a view of the site and have more privacy from the loudness of the trains.

This iteration connects East 165th street and Haviland Ave as well as the east and west side of the site. It allows the community to access the rails and site without having to go completely around. A central datum is created to connect upward to the Subway and Downward to the Metro North. There is a multi use space in the center of the train station. As the bridge continues across the Bronx River there is an outdoor space that leads to the restaurants. There are longer term apartments below the bridge, and short term stay above the bridge.

SHERATON EXPRESSWAY METRO NORTH

The bridged iteration was chosen for its most practicality. It separated the train and the living making the living more private and allowing the opportunity to create a plaza in front. The train station houses multi use space in the center and connects to both the Metro North and the Subway. It created a passage way from the east side of the site to the west which allows visitors and locals to travel across the bridge creating a shorter distance, rather than around. Westchester Station contains glass silos that contain water that is being cleaned and processed to use throughout the site. The bridge slices right past the silos allowing each user to experience the concrete plant park as they walk through. The bridge leads to an outdoor space that is enclosed by restaurants, shops, and cafe’s with housing located above. The housing contains voids throughout each level for outdoor spaces as well

11. Westchester Station is focused on connecting the site with panels that protect it from the harsh west sun. The point of intersection of the three main streets creates an outdoor the urban grid. It bridges between 165th E St. and Watson St. The living facade is designed to replicate the urban grid. space located throughout the apartments and creating a void that continues all the way through, yet still contains The three major streets surrounding the site; Sheridan the aluminum panels. Where the street grid lies there is no Expy Westchester Ave. and Bruckner Expy. Are extended and mirrored on the facade.

15. The Bronx River is enlarged in the site to accommodate for the wetlands filtration system
16. Some green space is being taken away because of the filtration system, so it is reapplied as a green deck in front of the living
17. For privacy, the living is raised and shops, cafe’s, and restaurants are placed to enclose the green space deck below the living

PLACA DE PERSPECTIVA Project: Design a market located in Barcelona, Spain on the Barceloneta Beach. The market holds multi purpose functions and is located across the street from the Mediterranean Sea. The market project was a semester long, third year, partner project. I was a contributor in the concept, diagramming, design, and production of all drawings.
34
The site is located on the boardwalk of the Barcelontea Beach. It is surrounded by the a neighborhood on the north and west side, opens up to a plaza on the south side, and the boardwalk on the east
The concept for this placa was derived from the perception of pedestrians in the area surrounding the site. Observations of the manner in which local residents and temporary Barceloneta visitors would commute through the surrounding area were considered
The temporary traďŹƒc shows the paths that would be taken from the city center located on the left, as well as the surrounding bus stops, B, and Metro stops, M. The red represents the optional paths that can be taken to arrive at the site
The red indicates the visibility of the site from the residential perspective. The Darker the red, the more visible that location on the site is to the locals
The combination of local and temporary traďŹƒc and the visibility of the site from the beach is portrayed in red.
The goal is to use visibility in order to bring people into the market. Each view point to the site was taken and the visibility was mapped with its deflections and visible parts.

BOARDWALK
Three major pedestrian viewpoints were considered and diagrammed. These views from the boardwalk, neighborhood streets and plaza next to the site were laid on top of each other treating obstructed views as voids. This was analyzed and serves as the foundation of the project. The darker the red the more visible the spot is to all three viewpoints. The white areas are spaces that no pedestrian can view the site.
The visibility of the site from the residential area above is mapped out above and a corresponding diagram is mapped below.

DETAIL
REFLECTED ROOF DIAGRAM The column placement, site, and paneling all resemble the diagram. All aspects are based on visibility, yet function for the various uses of the site. The Market structure consists of columns that act as acoustical barriers. These columns are placed according to the visibility of the site and oriented and turned in order to accommodate both the transparent visibility while on the site, yet is an attraction to visitors approaching the site from far away. The columns support perforated metal panels that are used to filter the sun in various ways, the more visible the area is, the more opaque the panel is. There are four different types of panels, voids for non visible spaces, large perforation for low visibility, small perforation for more frequent visibility, and opaque sun panels for full visibility. The roof structure varies in height also dependent upon the visibility, the more visible, the taller the structure is. The columns support the panels that are not in contact with a column by suspending them off a hinge joint from the top of the column and connecting a rod to the panels by a similar hinge joint. The panels that have contact with the columns are welded to the columns and connected to the suspended columns by spider connections.

MARKET PLAN

The site is accommodated to make use for a flea market, concert area, and multi-use plaza area without any adjustments to allow the activities to function properly. The site is sloped to create visibility from points in contact with the boardwalk to points near the neighborhood where the elevation is the lowest. The sloped site also creates a flow for people to move throughout the shopping markets to create less traffic during these times. The column placement also allows power supply if necessary for the marker stands, and to power lights that are located at the bottom of the column that shine upwards to create a pathway and flow throughout the site. The power used is being supplied by the energy collected by the sun panels placed on the opaque places on the roofing system. The market booths surround the columns, shown in the plan, creating paths for the visitors to move throughout. The columns then turn counterclockwise to create an acoustical barrier and also allowing the columns to face parallel to the boardwalk to draw more attention to the site to attract visitors. The paneling that is suspended from the columns creates shading during the day.

The atrium in Langford A separates and creates a barrier between the students and the professors, by creating Langford D this will provide places that can be used both by students and professors as meeting or break spaces. The spaces are called creative spaces. The current generation typically does not come up with a design by sitting at their desk, rather

The floors are strategically placed in order to accommodate for traffic that passes through Langford A. On the first floor, Langford D is placed in a low traffic area, yet visible from the higher populated grounds. The structure creates a large impact, stretching from 5 feet off both interior walls. The entrance to the elevator faces the higher traffic area. There are two presentation spaces located on the second level only accessible from the elevator and stair on the first floor. A smaller conference space, seating 25, consists of more steeper stadium seating, there is also a larger, flatter, presentation space that is

It is located parallel to the fourth floor at a congested intersection between studios. It hosts individual as well as small group meeting or break spaces. Langford D has a cafe’ space complete with a dinning space, it then proceeds to stairs designed for sitting for a more relaxed presentation space that flows down to the third floor. The stairs end in a low traffic area to minimize interruptions.

COLUMN CROSS BRACING
TUBE STEEL FRAME SKIN Langford D is constructed from welded tube steel. Its triangular bracing is kept tight to keep the members thin and the structure itself appearing light. Aluminum and glass panels are applied to mimic the linear geometry of the steel. The panels are placed strategically in order to define the public and private spaces. The lowest level consists of a high ratio of glass to aluminum, defining the space as public. The second level has a smaller ratio of glass to aluminum meaning that the space is semi public and more enclosed for presentation purposes. The aluminum paneling gradually gets smaller as it reaches the open ceiling, top level to show that the top is also a public space. The small glass paneling strikes curiosity to the viewer, it allows small views in to see what is going on in the space, yet stops the viewer from seeing the entire picture. The structure is exposed in the interior in order to create a learning environment and allows the students to be inspired by their surroundings. INTERIOR CLIP ANGLES STEEL PLATE

INSPIRATION
The Cabler Cafe’ is designed based on the idea of the integration of architecture and engineering, or archineering, coined by Helmut Jahn. It combines the formal, functional, technical, and environmental part of design into an architecture which is both beautifully crafted and sustainable. Architecture and structure not compete with each other, rather compliment each other.

The cafe’ rests upon a curvilinear site that mirrors the adjacent creek running next to it. The cafe’ uses a suspension bridge system to suspend seating over the creek and tucked in the shaded area of the site. It is counter balanced with an entry ramp opening into the site. The cables are tied back to a support which is located in the dinning space in the interior, so all users are able to experience the archineering feel.

DESIGN FOUNDATIONS Henry Ford Light Tower is a four week individual first year design project that introduces the concepts of light and shadows as well as designing based on a client. It requires defining spaces and accommodating an elevation change. New York City Lamp is a four week individual first year design project that requires students to use one four by eight sheet of plywood and make a piece of furniture Dallas Residence of Art Shadow Box is a three week individual project that is based on an architectural project that incorporates elements of the project, abstracted and placed into a box.

MODEL PICTURES
INSPIRATION This light tower was inspired by Henry Ford and is located near his birth place resting upon the bay in Lake Michigan. It focuses on using industrial style designs to incorporate characteristics of the Model T car. It dierentiates public spaces such as the living area, kitchen and dinning versus the private spaces,
bedrooms and bathrooms. The public spaces act as the cab of a car while the private resembles the hidden spaces, such as the hood and trunk of a car. The grill like side, exhaust pipe chimney, windows, and headlight like skylights allowed dierent lighting and shadows to occur throughout the light house

PROFESSIONAL WORK
I have interned at BRW Architects for four years. BRW specializes in municipal work in all parts of Texas and has 103 award winning fire stations. I have been able to work on all parts of a project through my time at BRW and it has allowed me to fully understand how a building goes together from start to finish. As well as my contribution in architecture I have been able to work on the marketing side of things including bringing projects in, working on request for qualifications and marketing material used at conferences and client meetings.

PERSPECTIVE TOWER SECTION Pearland Fire Station No. 3 is a 18,000 sq. ft. building located in Pearland, TX. It houses 6 fire men and 2 ems on shift. Pearland had a few restrictions from the city, the design had to be 100% masonry, all walls facing the road had to contain 25% glass, the building must be LEED silver, and there are 7 giant historical oak trees that must remain on the site. The plan was tricky because it had to accommodate the lay out of the trees, therefore, the bedroom wing swings of at a forty five degree angle. The program and plan was already determined when I was brought on the project, but I worked heavily on the design of the buildings as well as the detailing that took place on the elevations. I also worked on plan, roof, wall, window and door details, wall sections, finish, furnish, dimension, and base plans, building sections, and exterior and interior elevations. The project is almost complete and will go out to bid in early January of 2014. PEARLAND, TX
