ROOTS: OAKLAND ARTS DISTRICT

2022 ULI Hines Student Design Competition, Honorable Mention

Team: Bill Dinan, Isabel Francis Bongue, Claire Mei, and Joe Pappas

Roots strives to reclaim the heart of Oakland by creating an inclusive and vibrant urban space that is accessible and equitable for all. The Old Oakland area is deeply influenced by culture, and as a result, this project aimed to incorporate spaces of remembrance, activism, and creativity for the residents. However, the design of this project also recognizes the team’s limited lived experience in Oakland, and instead of designing definitive solutions, it creates an urban framework full of blank canvases and opportunities for the community to begin to take agency over the site. This project was awarded an Honorable Mention for its bold proposal of a highway removal that would be replaced by a large public greenspace and intermodal transit hub.

Hotel Dendrite welcomes visitors into the Roots district and connects them to exciting experiences, including the new home of the Oakland Aʼs just blocks away.

The Park Square Lofts provide market rate and affordable units looking over the newly refreshed Jefferson Square Park.

How instead ourselves integral culture,

COLUMBUS STATION

Autumn 2021, Urban Ecology Research Studio

Instructor: Ashley Shafer

This design for this intermodal station bridges the physical (1000 feet) and economical gap ($70,000) in between two precincts in downtown Columbus to mediate one of the largest top to bottom disparities in the nation. The station reaches across the Scioto River in both Plan and Section to address all levels along the riverfront, creating an interesting experience accessible to humans and non human actors. This study distinguishes itself by investigating a new common ground, a full stop, or “other space” in between two different demographics in the hope of creating a new, blended ecology.

GARDEN PAVILION

Professional Work, Summer 2021

Project Leader: P’Elizabeth Koelker

The City of Grandview Heights

Designed as a pavilion to accommodate both administrative and public amenity, this project references the site’s history between rail yards, victory gardens, and limestone quarries. Private spaces are enveloped by opaque materials while public areas are made transparent to connect with the site and emphasize the connection of the building to the park. Large gathering spaces inside and out allow for community members to adapt to the four seasons of Central Ohio and operable walls further blur the relationship between the interior and exterior.

TO THE RIVER, TO THE WALL 2022 AIA Ohio Student Design Competition

Mediating a history of division in Overtown and an impending waterfront crisis caused by rising sea levels, this project investigates how a common architectural system, such as the wall, can be deployed to reframe pedagogy and promote stewardship in the post

The defining characteristic of this elementary school is a continuous wall that ribbons through educational spaces intended for collaborative, project-based learning. As the wall progresses through the building, it is activated by Visual, Haptic, and Immersive experiences that dissolve the bilateral nature of the wall and give students agency in how they

This categorization has implicit architectural and performative effects, as well. As the wall bends and kinks through the plan, it slips to create thresholds, frame views to the Miami river, and provide gathering spaces that eschew traditional classrooms and formalized relationships
