HOW DO WE REMEMBER? HINT: IT’S AS EASY AS.... WAIT, I FORGET
GET TRASHED
IN HIDING
GET TRANSFORMED
ARE DISORGANIZED
ARE SHUFFLED
INCORRECTLY RECALLED
This project is situated along a threshold of memory and space. It serves as what should be an impermeable threshold of the controlled and yet is still uncontrollable. Moreover, as time has progressed this transient line has created and destroyed new boundaries within the city, wreaking havoc, and changing policies. After each disaster the city has cleared the damage and moved on and forward; Yet it is necessary to remember these forces, not only for the sake of recognizing our relationship to the world around us, but, more importantly, to create a space to recall the stories of how the Mississippi has shaped the geography of the city of New Orleans for both the better and the worse. These sites, although specific in locality, speaks of a larger narrative of not only change, but of also abuse and reuse of the built environment. More importantly however is creating a space where the material world can augment a collective memory of not only what was, but what is, and what will be. Typically, this is much easier to recognize in an existing structure or at a site where the layers are coexisting or show the wear of time, but what if time has played such a role that the evidence of the past have been nearly wiped away?

Division vs Connection Nola and the Mississippi
This pavilion is located along the Industrial Canal. This space connects with the Mississippi River, through a lock dividing the Ninth Ward and the Lower Ninth Ward and finally extend to Lake Pontchartrain. It once was part of the low lying marsh land and at one time was home to a convent right along the Mississippi. Now, this performance space is meant to reconnect people to what was the landscape before levee walls and pumps made these neighborhoods inhabitable. Now these levee walls are fearful reminders of unbreeched disaster as hurricanes test the strength of these walls. For this reason, these boundaries need to be experienced in a new way so that so that people visiting and living within the region understand what is keeping their daily lives above the water. More importantly this intervention places architecture back in the uncertain and controversial murky waters which rise and fall - creating a moment of revelation.

The pavilion along the Lower Ninth Ward shifts the perception and proximity of the wall and its relationship to people and the geography. Oddly enough the edges of this canal are closest to the original cypress swamp once found in this region before pumps, walls, and spillways were designed in an attempt to tame the water. This rotating wall opens vistors to the rear of the performance space. The materials attest to the charm and capable in this region. Additionally, by placing this moving wall the objective is to have visitors question the permanence of this massive 11’ concrete levee walls.

ROOFPLAN
Like a cascading river over the wall these stairs reconnect visitors to this threshold of what seems to be tamed and untamed geography. Water cascades below the stairs and echos along the metal shell of the stairs. These stairs then transform into a stage for larger performances which can be viewed by those sitting along the edge or by boats in the canal.

RESPONSE TO URBAN SCALE
When exploring the generation of the form, it was of interest to express the vertical circulation (3) and highlight that as an architectural element which connects the program visually from the interior and exterior(2). By pulling the lower two levels back (4) which forms a splitting of the upper levels, a more appropriate scale to the italianate architecture of the neighborhood was created. The neighborhood is painted in a palate of many colors and instead of relying on this to highlight the facade, the inspiration of the panelized system makes reference to not only the structure of Findlay Market but of the intricate cornice work found in the surrounding buildings (5). For the elevation facing the market however the intent of this facade is to reflect not only the activity of the neighboring street but of the decorative italianette façades (6).

PORTFOLIO VICHOSKY
When looking at the world around us our brains have the capacity to place together fragmented pieces of information to create a holistic picture. An initial intent of the studio was to create an installation that modified, augmented, or intensified ones initial experience along the bike trail.
The first part consists of a drawing that translates the perceived experience into a site plan and section which considers: the spatio-temporal, the discrepancy between the natural and built elements of the site, as well what is the phenomenal or perceived elements of the site. The materiality of this installation
was chosen based on an everyday product with standardized dimensions and malleable qualities. This object, a cup, was chosen based for its connotations of altering or fragmenting reality. What became important was how these originally cylindrical objects could be molded tectonically to fit one-another.

Spring 2012 | Prof Jack Hawk | Pittsburgh, PA
|SITE SECTION| The final semester of undergraduate studies was a comprehensive studio for a mixed use office and retail space in downtown Pittsburgh. This two person team project involved a comprehensive understanding of design, zoning, codes, methods, and extensive calculations for environmental technology, systems, and structures. The Cultural District of Pittsburgh offered a unique challenge in confronting ‘site C’ on the corner of Fort Duquesne Blvd. and 7th St. Initially, in using the proposed Behnisch Plan it was important to allow a reactivation of the street fronts through retail, galleries, and neighboring RiverParc. Within the site it was crucial to create connections along Fort Duquesne Boulevard, 7th, and 8th street. The reason why this connection is so important is
because it allows immediate access to the parking garage as well as the adjacent town homes. This connection needed to happen not just at the scale of the block but also for the city and beyond. HitRECord, the proposed prime tenant for the space is an artist collaborative which introduces a mixed-use program to the site as well as a varied clientele with attention to cinematography, music, fine art, the digital arts, and any combination of the above. Additionally, because of the layout of the ground level, an interaction between HitRECord Studios and the other office tenants are encouraged through the main interior “Delta” of the building. Along this Delta Corridor is a combination of the Living-Machine, gallery, and the office entry.

Fall 2010 | Prof. Kathryn Strand | Ohio City, OH
To initiate the design process for the yoga studio our studio participated in a yoga class in an old white-washed mill. As a result of this experience a drawing which documented five phases of translation of the body was created. This drawing encompassed not only the idea of place but also the progression of time through the practice of yoga.

This location, flanked by two bridges, is anything but static. There are many reminders of what once was a valley filled with factories, many of which are now in the process of decay. This transformation over time becomes important not only in relation to the yoga class but also for the transition
of experience from new to old. The five phases of the yoga experience were used to gain a sequence of design that reflected not only in plan but also in section while addressing the hillside and the intersecting bike trail.

Columbus, Indiana has become a museum of modern architecture with buildings designed by I.M Pei, Saarinen, and Meier. The intent of the project is to create a center that serves as an educational hub for these masterpieces while also creating design spaces that help keep the city relevant and established in the arts. The basis of design is established through recognizing the farm-based regional context, the desire to conceal the MEP systems through the assembly of the glu-laminated members and a raised floor system, while creating spaces with controlled lighting.

CENTER FOR EDUCATION
Designed for a confidential client, this educational facility is intersected by a pedestrian pathway encouraging research and science to be on display. This building which includes labs, classrooms, offices, and amenities such as an auditorium is part of a larger educational campus plan which was also designed by Perkins + Will.
Throughout the project I assisted in presentation materials and diagrams as well as physical models for presentations. As we progressed in schematic design I played a role in material selection for exterior finishes and glazes for the terracotta panel system. My primary focus was to progress the design of the auditorium and visitor center including the detailing of these amenities during the construction document phase.
