TH E E X PA N S I O N G A M E FOCUS AND STRUCTURE OF THE COURSE
This studio focuses on architectural expansions as a ‘game’ with a set of rules that allow improvements and innovation. The goal is to learn from previous buildings through new expansions and programs, giving them a second life with a sustainable and bioclimatic approach. The course has four modules:
1 2 3 4
RESEARCH: Make contextual approaches to the overall topic (history, urbanism, technologies, geometries, materials, programs, author’s biography, etc.). RECONSTRUCTION: Reconstruct all plans and relevant information on the existing building. EXPANSION: Propose a new expansion or renovation with a new program. IMPROVEMENT: Create architectural improvements to the previous constructions.
ARCHITECTURE OF RENEWAL PURPOSE OF PROPOSED EXPANSIONS
This studio moves around the following question: What kind of architecture will be necessary to support higher education in the 21st century? When studying a group of unique academic buildings on selected college campuses across the eastern United States, we review the various constraints that were faced during the surge of construction in the post-WWII era to support rapid increase in academic enrollment and space. The goal is to propose expansions, modifications, and new educational and public architecture to philosophically and physically reinvent highereducation to support the 21st century learning landscape. 2
FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGN EXCELLENCE
1 2
THE FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGN EXCELLENCE CAN BE EXPRESSED AS A SET OF QUESTIONS TO ASK ONE’S SELF THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN PROCESS
What’s the big idea behind this project? What is its purpose? How do its separate pieces fit together into a coherent whole? Who gets to use this building and how does it benefit its users and the community? How has the community been engaged to shape the design? Who is invited in, who is excluded? How does its location and design promote equitable access to its benefits, strengthen its community, and reinforce means of transportation that support health and reduce emissions?
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
How does this project benefit the earth? How does it impact the living systems around it? How does this project work with and delight in water, and how does it use water wisely? How do you provide abundance with an economy of means? How does the design work with, rather than fight, local climate to provide a comfortable place for people with the least energy use and carbon emissions? How does the design promote the health of those who spend time in it? Why did you select the materials you did? Where do they come from, what’s their impact (including the pollution and carbon impact of their manufacture), and where will they go after the building is gone? Why did you select the materials you did? Where do they come from, what’s their impact (including the pollution and carbon impact of their manufacture), and where will they go after the building is gone?
How does your design allow the building to learn from its users, and allow its users to learn from the building? What lessons have you learned from the project? Where have you failed, fallen short? What will you carry forward?

HOUSE
Breuer | 1951 | Poughkeepsie, NY
Marcel Breuer’s Ferry House was constructed in 1951 on the Vassar College campus in Poughkeepsie, New York. This cooperative dormitory is home to twenty-four students, who receive tuition stipends for working within the house, by cooking, cleaning, and running the operations. Breuer designed this space with collaboration in mind and intended for the building to become a fishbowl, where passersby could look in and view the cooperative nature firsthand. However, we felt that the original building was not reaching the cooperation potential that it could. We wanted to expand on Breuer’s idea of a fishbowl and allow for the rest of the Vassar community to become a part of this unique experience.

The original design was not accessible, as there was only a staircase to reach the second floor, and we wanted to ensure that we were meeting the Design for Equitable Communities criteria. We have changed this building to ensure it is ADA compliant, and provided an elevator for second floor access. We have kept the second floor of the floor plan relatively open, to account for Design for Change. The space can easily be adapted to meet future needs of the house.

The rain garden located in the back garden space promotes both the Design for Water and the Design for Ecosystems criteria. Rain water is collected from the roof, while grey water is further recycled in this space and used for irrigation within the garden. The rain garden is filled with many plants that are native to the New York region, promoting the ecosystem of the surrounding area. Students can grow their own produce, year-round, on site within the greenhouse and external gardening beds, and can sell any additional produce for profit within the Vassar community. This promotes both the Design for Well-Being and Design for Economy.

Milton | 1953 | Raleigh, North Carolina
Burlington Laboratories was designed by G. Milton Small, Jr. circa 1953. In the expansion, we focused on collaborative work and reformatting the floor plans of the building, so users can collaborate and share ideas among staff and student researchers. The original building was non-inclusive and individualized, but with the modified floor plan, users have integrated workspaces where they can collaborate and share ideas. By reintroducing a fusion power plant, the space where the reactor sat was expanded to allow the heat to radiate upwards and cool the room passively but because the newly installed reactor is taller than the original reactor, the expansion of the roof is necessary.

CONTEXTUAL FORCES Milton | 1953 | Raleigh, North Carolina
4 Student Engineering Population There is a need to expand the Burlington laboratories to accommodate the increase in population of engineering students and staff. Impact of Economy After World War 2, the economy entered an era of transition and expansion which would motivate the construction of the Burlington Laboratories. More money was being invested into research and education. Historical Significance of Building The reactor installed in this building had an impact in the way institutions did research because it was the first reactor to be in a campus and free of any government control. Installation of the Nuclear Power Plant The nuclear reactor impacts the way the building is formatted, and the security and access is limited because of the precautionary measure that are taken.

The existing layout of the building lacks any crossing over from one side to the other. On the left side of the building, faculty and staff have access to the laboratories and rooms, while on the right side of the building, it is focused on student researchers. There are no spaces for both users to use for collaborative work. The hierarchy of the building is individualized and that impacts the way student researchers and faculty cooperate academically.

The proposed floor plans give an opportunity to collaborate with staff and student researchers. With the modified version of the floor plan, users have workspaces where users can share their discoveries. The laboratories are centralized and focus on group opportunities instead of individualized work. The public area expanding beyond the existing envelope will allow the support of 21st century learning because it gives users the ability to share ideas in a space.

The reactor room will emit a considerable amount of heat; therefore, the roof was expanded to allow heat to radiate upwards and cool the room passively. The roof plays a main role because the molding of the structure allows for more breathing space. There are gutters on the bottom exterior that harvest and collect rainwater. The harvested water is held in 2 columns which will then be used in the mist system. The water system will allow the building to reduce the water demand and it will cool the reactor room.

There are 4 structural columns, 2 columns hold the rainwater, one is for mist circulation, and the other is for electricity storage. The roof uses a ball and socket joint and under the roof, there is a frame that is made of iron rods that join at the joint. Above, there is glazing that sits on these mechanisms.

PLANT
Our building began as a humble boiler plant tucked away in the corner of the Illinois Institute of Technology campus, near 34th Street and Federal Street, and was designed and built-in 1950 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Our design brief was to transform an energy-inefficient structure into a green research center promoting and exemplifying green energy. We expanded the shell of the existing boiler plant; providing multiuse spaces for the surrounding Bronzeville, contiguous communities, and college students to gather. The new, open spaces consist of laboratories, galleries, a museum, and public green spaces—promoting an indoor/outdoor connection to nature and the daylighting concept. We designed and created a train platform permitting easy train access which increases public exposure to the building. The west-facing façade is covered in moss walls as well as algae solar panels; capturing carbon emissions emitted by the train and freeway thus reducing pollution and potentially repurposing as fuel, as well as providing excellent noise mitigation from the train.

2 Structure: Mies laid out all of his buildings using a grid system. We used a modified 18x24 foot grid system we discovered from the original building. Most other buildings on campus us a 24x24 foot system. Circulation: The original building was a very open space with lots of circulation. We wanted to draw this circulation up into the unused space. By placing a community green roof, we will draw people up and through the spaces to create a vertical circulation pattern.

HALL
Our change to Meredith Hall at Drake University is primarily centered around creating a holistic class environment. Our changes primarily focus on the integration of what we call “Cohorts”, which are groups of 20 to 30 students who spend their student career amongst each other with a single mentoring professor. The classrooms are built to allow more open discussions among both teachers and the students, and spaces nearby emphasize group study. There are also separate dedicated group-study spaces for each cohort, designed to allow them to study and work together even when they don’t have classes together. The new design features a cut through its center, to improve circulation space, as well as a place to gather and collect excess rainwater. All of the changes attempt to mimic the original architect’s vision by staying in line with the building’s original structural grid.

Research of the pre-existing structure shows strong contextual forces including Miesian design staples like structural clarity, simplicity in aesthetic, and expression of technology in architecture. These are evident in Mies’ grid overlay, non-structural I beam facade, and repeated facade treatment. Additional research focused on the impact of the site on the building in hopes of reconnecting the building back to its context.

This site plan and floor plans show the reconnection to the natural by bringing circulation paths outside. Students’ well-being is brought to focus by creating peaceful pockets for working and studying instead of long corridors maintained between block walls. These paths open opportunities for rainwater collection and zero scaping. These openings also reduce cooling and heating loads as the footprint is reduced. Instead of isolating groups from popular lectures and performances as the old auditoriums did, the new indoor amphitheater can be used casually by those passing by and act as its advertisement during use.

By pulling the circulation paths to the outside a swell found naturally in the site is opened up. A porous walkway connected to the building’s radiant floor heating system floats above the swell for rainy or snowy days making the space walkable and allowing runoff to collect below. This collection will help naturally water a green space that will require little to no maintenance and no additional watering. The second level is set slightly back as the roof gently slopes towards the opening acting as a runoff cleaning and slowing system mitigating dirt and quick water runoff on the walkway. This beautiful cut will allow nature to grow up and around the walkway and above as a way of nature taking back such a cold and lifeless form.

ART GALLERY
Khan | 1963 | New Haven
Yale University Art Gallery is the oldest university art museum in the Western Hemisphere, it houses a major encyclopedic collection of art in several interconnected buildings on the campus of Yale University in New Haven. The new gallery was designed by Louis Kahn, built in 1953. The building initially included open spaces for the exhibition of art and studio spaces for art and architecture students. Most of the spaces are exhibition spaces with a constantly changing connectivity pattern making us remain highly attentive to the exhibits and the circulation and this could result in museum fatigue. Our proposed expansion is an attempt to break this pattern. The main objective is to design an interactive environment for people’s wellbeing, so that it can help reduce the visual overstimulation and to ensure people experience as little fatigue as possible. In our design, effective steps to address this problem were taken, these include keeping to a designated path, taking breaks and mentally exiting the museum before they become too exhausted while physically still being inside the gallery.

The parts shaded in blue are the proposed expansion. Here we are breaking the continuous open floor plan of the exhibition spaces and providing calm spaces. This is followed in the second, third and fourth plans. The second and third floors, now have exposed facade on the southwest side, for more natural light to get in. It is tucked by aluminum louvers which are at an angle, so that the direct sun light can reflect off them and get into the building. For the fourth floor, we have designed a circular skylight, following the shapes used by Louis Kahn, for natural light and a seamless look which can be very therapeutic for people suffering from fatigue. The trail of our proposed designated path, which follows around the existing building like a parasite attached to a structure can be seen in the proposed site plan. This whole trail is meant to be an interactive design which stimulates your other senses to create a balance.

The wall sections shows the roof garden area which stimulates the smell. This area is cut into the existing building on the southwest side for more natural light to get into the building as from the mapping we know that the new gallery building blocks most of its natural light with a brick wall on the main facade. With this renovation we allow diffused natural light to go in making the space look more open and more calming for the visitors.
