The thesis explored multiple aspects of Architecture. From how Architecture can help in the healing process, the interaction between Architecture and people as well as people and nature, and the development of a new building typology based on the programmatic features this facility entails. The main influence of the thesis is the amount of heroin overdoses in the Cape Cod area. Through in depth site analysis, a location in Hyannis, MA was chosen. This facility intends to bring all stages of the substance abuse treatment together into one location accessible for all of Cape Cod, and created a sustainable treatment system to help encourage people through their treatments. This facility, mainly an inpatient facility, rejects the typical medical building form and replaces it with a home feeling because such a place is a temporary home for those going through their treatment.

One of the main contributors to the overall organization of the building and design aspects was based on why people begin taking drugs such as heroin. Many begin taking drugs because they feel alone and the drug fills the empty space within them and this building design would try and help with that situation through many of the design choices. The diagram to the left represents this idea of feeling alone to creating a community. This concept occurs within the courtyards and unit layouts as seen in the images above, as well.

A concern throughout the designing process was keeping the scale of the building down and relating it back to the vernacular of the area. Not only was there a struggle catering to the vernacular but also the necessities for a medical facility. It was a constant back and forth that eventually found a good balance between one another as well as a balanced interaction between the two. The facade design had this idea in mind where the public places belong to one form and facade while the private medical locations belong to an another form and facade system.

A specially designed truss allowed for many concepts to occur sectionally throughout the project. From gathering spaces to views to heating and cooling. Rather than a typical heavy timber design, the specially designed truss was chosen to give a lighter feel to the structure in an elegant way.

This project is a Presidential Library for President Obama. The class chose one of the main sites in the competition and did extensive research and design for this program. From understanding the area to understanding the program, every aspect of the design process was explored. In just four months, we researched, designed, went to Chicago to see the site, met with mechanical and structural consultants as well as presented the work to many Architects from around the Boston area at SMMA in Cambridge. Our work consisted of a Black and White set, ADA drawings, code research and applying it to the design, structural drawings, and sizing mechanical sys systems. For more information and to see the full design and process, the final product and work can be found here: https://issuu.com/beddy047/docs/final_booklet_brento n_eddy_5.16.16_

The two images above are collages representing what we felt the building should feel and look like based on what we knew of the program. Before any designing occurred, the class member created their own collages.

The diagrams express the overall design ideas from views on approach and the joining of a courtyard building and a tower. The image above is a rendering representing the feeling of the courtyard space in front of the tower.

30.75 Degrees N 76.78 Degrees E Located in Chandigarh, India, this project contained extensive research on the Indian culture and the history of Chandigarh as well as “modern� cities in general. While understanding the economic hyrarchy of India and the layout/design of the city and buildings within it, a site was chosen to design on.

The green spaces in the site design are influenced by the leisure valley through the city. These spaces create gathering locations as well as opportunities for mini markets.

This project was done in collaboration with the construction management students at Roger Williams University in an IPD setting. With them, building estimates were calcula calculated, a schedule was created, and site diagnostics were developed.

COMPETITION COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITY OF FLORENCE With two to three Italian Architecture Students to one American Architecture student, we were asked to design a dormitory for the University of Florence in one weeks time. Teamed up with two Italian students, we overcame language, program, and ideology barriers to win the competition and be published in ‘AND’ Architecture Mag.

An interesting concept the American students had to get used to was measuring a space through volumes and having volume restrictions rather than a surface area of the floor.
As a group, we concluded that group/community spaces are important when designing in Italy because of the impact it can have on the culture and together we decided to emphasize this concept within the project by using different floor depths so as to create these special gathering places strategically located throughout the building.
This view represents the different textures created by the materials chosen which was stucco, glass, and Terracotta panels.
