ABOUT ME In 2012, I discovered my passion for architecture during a semester exchange in Budapest as an undergraduate Kinesiology student. Exploring that complex city revealed an urban landscape composed of crumbling Brutalist Soviet era structures juxtaposed with the Art Nouveau grandeur of the Imperial past. Architecture is an insight into ourselves, where we have been and where we are going. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking with friends, and reading a good book.

AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

The Science of Agriculture Museum with the Washington Monument at night. The purple glow emitted by the field of greenhouses contrast the white light of the Washington Monument. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the only office building on the Mall. Furthermore, the USDA has no public programming. This thesis proposes a Science of Agriculture Museum – adjacent to the USDA’s building – that re-frames agriculture

as a S.T.E.M. profession. Moreover, this intervention responds critically to the scale, architectural styles, and materiality of the Mall by introducing humanscaled public spaces and greenhouses.

compelling narrative that highlights the connection between agriculture, technology, and slavery rooted in American history. 8

Overview of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The United States’ National Mall is a landscape unlike any other. The expansive – seemingly endless – lawn, flanked by enormous museums, memorials, and galleries, is the end of a pilgrimage for American civil religion. The Mall is a cultural landscape that

communicates to a diverse audience (domestic and international) the virtues and values of American society. Through classical and Christian imagery, the Mall reinforces American exceptionalism. 10

Close up context plan of the National Mall with proposed Science of Agriculture Museum The USDA, referred to by Lincoln as “the People’s Department,” only communicates with the public through its neoclassical façade that evokes a bucolic image of farming that does not represent the current state of farming in America nor the work of the USDA.

11

This thesis looks at the ways in which the theory of American Civil Religion and neo-postmodernism can inform a museum that reflects the scientific work of the USDA and and discourages lore of the Yeoman farmer and the individual participant in democracy.


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

Aerial view of the Science of Agriculture Museum A resurgence over the last 10 years in postmodernism amongst a new generation of architects has sparked a critical look at the ambiguity of architectural symbolism in society. The recent re-engagement with architectural symbolism explores architecture’s

communicative powers in order to explore architecture’s role in “rewriting sociological narratives and reveal societal values.1” 12

Agricultural symbolism on the National Mall American agrarianism, as informed by the frontier myth, has kept farmers from positive adaptation, reinforcing instead the self-image of a hero victimized by circumstances. These myths of the yeoman farmer are inconsistent with today’s tech-savvy, agricultural industry.

Today, the agriculture industry in America bears little – if any – resemblance to the bucolic, quaint image of the small American farm. The industry is characterized by precision technologies, large scale production of genetically modified cash crops, and massive industrialized farms.

View of Washington Monument from the Demonstration Labs on the Second Floor of the Museum

The demonstration labs are located on the second floor of the museum and look out at the Washington monument. The labs in the foreground recontextualizes the Washington monument and the lore of George Washington as a yeoman farmer.

Interacting with plant matter and soil in a laboratory setting allows visitors to concretely understand the inherent complexity and ambiguity of natural phenomena. 15

Merge

Carve

Delineate Entrance

North Elevation of Science of Agriculture Museum The entrance to the museum is marked by a cut out in the shape of a traditional Prairie barn (also known as a Western barn.) The iconic shape of the barn is subtracted from the Science of Agriculture Museum to suggest that this symbol of the idyllic, pastoral farm is absent in today’s large-scale agricultural industry.

Together the negative space of the barn and the purple glowing greenhouses signifies to visitors on the Mall that our widely held assumptions of agricultural production and farming are inconsistent with reality. 16


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

Science of Agriculture Museum as seen from the National Mall

As visitors walk towards the Science of Agriculture Museum from the Mall, they encounter a field of greenhouses that get taller as they descend into the plaza. When they reach the plaza the greenhouses obscure the visitor’s view of the Mall which in turn

makes the plaza a separate space from the expansive Mall.

17


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

View of Plaza from the Museum Entrance

“The Mall works from a distance. It works from an airplane, or from the top of the Washington Monument or the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but it doesn’t work as a place to experience.” - Kaid Benfield

18

The Mall itself feels empty. Few of its spaces have a sense of enclosure, and some of them are just too vast. The well- defined plaza adjacent to the Science of Agriculture Museum is a welcomed change from the immense 3-mile long Mall.


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

Entrance to Greenhouses from the Lower Level of the Museum

This compact row of productive greenhouses are a stark contrast to the Mall’s expansive, bucolic, wellgroomed grass. The human-scale of the greenhouses distinguishes this site from the enormous museums and monuments that flank the Mall. Moreover, the

19

diminutive scale of the greenhouses demonstrates the ways in which science and technology create more efficient methods of land management. Lastly, the field of greenhouses subtly but definitively separates the plaza from expansive lawn of the Mall.


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

Photograph of the Greenhouse Section Model When entering the site from the Mall, there is gentle 1:20 slope towards a plaza that is located 1..5m below grade from the Mall. The slope is populated by a field of greenhouses that are accessible via the lower lobby level of museum. Since the greenhouses are located

below ground, only the tops of the greenhouses are visible from the ground plane.

20


AGRICULTURE ON AMERICA’S FRONT LAWN

Close up of the Greenhouse Section Model Due to the gentle slope of the lawn, the greenhouses appear taller and more visible from the ground plane. The effect is monumental. The field of glowing purple greenhouses slowly envelops visitors as they descend towards the plaza.

21

The greenhouses play with scale and perspective to juxtapose the distant buildings on the Mall. From inside the field of greenhouses, they appear big and important while everything monumental on the Mall is small and obscured from view.

This project re-imagines student housing in Gastown. In Vancouver’s expensive real estate market, two students will share a one bedroom apartment by converting the living room into a second bedroom using screens, curtains, or dividers. As a result, students often live without adequate privacy, light or, space.

First Floor Plan This studio focused on housing in Vancouver’s former Japanese-Canadian neighborhood on Powell street. We were taught about the legacy of the Japanese-Canadian community in Vancouver and the community’s current relationship with the area.

Though the most of the Vancouver’s JapaneseCanadian community no longer resides in this neighborhood, their connection to their history remains strong. This project infuses the JapaneseCanadian history back into the Powell Street neighborhood while also connecting to the current 30 residents of the Downtown Eastside.


POWELL ST LEGACY CENTRE

Perspective from Powell St The Powell Street Legacy Centre includes private amenities for residents such as a daycare, exercise/ multipurpose room, a private courtyard. The Centre also offers public features such as an industrial linen service, a learning centre and a public laundromat for local Downtown Eastside residents.

The Powell Street Legacy Centre promotes community engagement at all scales while providing safe housing for women of all ages.

Diagram Highlighting the Proposed Innovation Hub and its relationship to Produce Row In this studio, I had the opportunity to learn from the urban designers at City Studio. Their years of expertise helped guide and shape my design. This studio has taught me how to holistically integrate a building into a neighborhood, a district, and a city.

Furthermore, I have learned how to design (and think) across different scales. . 35
