BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL Site: Boston, Massachusetts Semester: Fall 2012 Duration: 16 weeks Professor: Paul Zorr Design Statement: Urban Revival. The Children’s Hospital, representing the heart of the North End and Downtown, attempts to spark an urban connection that encourages pedestrian friendly traffic to the hospital site and beyond. The ground floor opens its doors to a generous lounge area with a versatile auditorium, offering shared use from the hospital and the city. Occupiable green spaces on the ground and various other levels extend the adjacent green park system onto the hospital site, inviting pedestrian traffic to the North End. The hospital not only facilitates the public, but its young patients as well.

Exposing organic elements, such as wood, plantlife, and light, offers a natural healing environment for the children.

The patient rooms use floor to ceiling windows to daylight the space with mechanical louvers controlling the amount of light that enters each room. The use of light shelves diffuse artificial lighting to prevent direct exposure onto the patient.

A centrally located elevator lobby projects upwards as the main artery in the hospital. Its transparency allows the visitor to look outwards, noticing the change in context from the North End to the high rises of downtown as they elevate. By employing a contemporary language of its own, the Children’s Hospital becomes the focal point of the North End and creates a lasting connection to the rest of the city.

SCHOOL PROJECTS

BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL STEPHEN BLACK CHARTER

STEPHEN BLACK CHARTER SCHOOL Site: Birmingham, Alabama Semester: Fall 2011 Duration: 8 weeks Professor: Alex Krumdieck Design Statement: The Stephen Black Charter School is designed with the concept of a holisitc approach to education. With rhetoric and debate serving as the foundation for the school’s curriculum, students are able to expand their knowledge and leadership skills to an elite level. The school’s primary feature is a full size auditorium that benefits from hosting school debates as well as other city events open to the public. A three story library provides a quality resource and knowledge gaining environment for the students. These two pieces become the foundation, or building blocks that support the school classrooms. The idea of rhetoric and debate being the source of knowledge is then implied. The school classrooms use a holistic design to integrate the various educational cores into one learning environment. Classroom walls can be opened up into a central space allowing multiple classes to deliberate and learn together. Thus the students are surrounded by rhetoric and debate as it guides their curriculum.

SCHOOL PROJECTS

The ground floor shows a clear separation between communal and educational functions of the school as well as an appropriate drop-off for the students.

BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL STEPHEN BLACK CHARTER

The back side of the building provides adequate recreational space for the students and also holds the first floor of the cafeteria and gymnasium.

The front of the school utilizes a grand entrance to the debate auditorium. Adjacent to it is the lobby, administrative offices, and the first floor of the library.

Third Floor Lounge Area Perspective

Ground Floor Plan

The second floor acts as a mezzanine as it overlooks the lobby and provides an elevated track over the gymnasium. A study lounge area is implemented to create a transition space between the cafeteria seating and the library.

The third floor comprises the school classrooms and the top level library. Each classroom utilizes movable walls that swing open on tracks. This allows for several classes to congregate in a versatile open space and discuss related topics. This concept creates a more holistic learning environment as the curriculum is guided by the students’ and teachers’ debate and discussion.

BOSTON CHILDREN’S WETUMPKA CRATER & HOSPITAL SCIENCE CENTER

WETUMPKA CRATER & SCIENCE CENTER Site: Wetumpka, Alabama Semester: Spring 2011 Duration: 16 weeks Professor: Alan Cook Design Statement: The Crater and Science Center encompasses a symbolic representation of the Wetumpka Impact Crater that hit the area 83 million years ago. Functioning as both an educational museum and recreational park, the crater center becomes more than just a beautful host to the surrounding scenery, but an intriguing tourist hot spot for Wetumpka and the state of Alabama. The composition of the structure takes advantage of a circular plan that acts to both inform the visitors of the site’s history and embody the crater-shaped form.

The site is designed around a central space where visitors can experience the building’s connection with the ground and water. The crater center, along with the surrounding park area maintains a sustainable design in relation to the environment and highlights its beauty that would otherwise go un-noticed.

Original Design

Enlarged Central Space

Each node is dispersed outwards creating a large central space.

Formation of Spaces

The nodes merge to form three buildings: Research, Gallery, and Catering.

Unification of Site

The central space is defined by a water feature and raised to make it more prominent.

A wooden patio connects the central space with the three nodes and offers views of the site.

BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL ART URBAIN: COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

ART URBAIN “COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS” Site: Trastevere, Rome, Italy Semester: Spring 2012 Duration: 3 weeks Group: Kristin Hughes (Arkansas), Sarah Howell (Tennessee) Professor: Scott Finn Design Statement: The Art Urbain competition focuses on the issue of urban sprawl. Our studio’s site is lower Trastevere adjacent to the Tiber River. The site is undergoing the ramifications of urban sprawl as there is discontinuity among the three elements of the community: living, working, and recreation. The potential to unify these three components is lost with the lack of attention to their connection. The sense of community is able to be restored through the implementation of pedestrian friendly roadways. The connection of streets through green spaces creates a web towards the Tiber River. The Arsenale building is refurbished becoming the central node for the market while linking it to the riverwalk. New life is brought to the market area by clearing out several abandoned buildings adjacent to the river re-establishing the visual connection. The riverwalk is renovated with new access points generating a focal point of the reactivation of the community.

The final linkage is created by the installation of a new pedestrian bridge joining Trastevere and Testaccio.

The historic Pontifical Arsenal is currently unavailable and under-appreciated by the public.

By restoring the Arsenale building, it can be used as a daily fresh market.

There are no visual or physical connections between the market area and the riverfront. Overgrown trees and small abandoned buildings block veiws and access to the river.

A new beginning is brought to the riverwalk through new landscaping and stairways with overlooking platforms.

Throughout the residential area their is a lack of public green space and instead is occupied by paved surfaces and parked cars.

Small pocket parks are inserted throughout the pedestrian suited streets creating a network towards the river.

CHILDREN’SINTERVENTION HOSPITAL PIAZZA BOSTON DEL COLOSSEO

PIAZZA DEL COLOSSEO INTERVENTION Site: Rome, Italy

Semester: Spring 2012 Duration: 8 weeks Professor: Francesco Bedeschi Design Statement: As one of the most visited sites in the world, the Colosseum is a symbol for Rome and its history. Yet with all the tourist traffic it produces, the Colosseum does not convey a clear entrance, nor is there appropriate circulation to its far side. The major highway adjacent to the Colosseum hinders pedestrian traffic causing a break in the Via Papalis and limiting it significance as it continues on to the Lateran. By implementing a visitor center on the backside of the piazza, tourists are able to enjoy a more processional entry into the Colosseum as well as reconnect them to the Via Papalis. The intervention meets the slope of the site as it wraps around the Colosseum, making the piazza more pedestrian friendly. The final piece to the intervention is a viewing tower that glorifies the Colosseum’s monumentality. Its form resembles that of an obelisk as it defines an important monument along the Via Papalis.
