harvesting the future The project for Harvesting the Future serves as the model for urban growth by blending technology with natural growing methods. According to the Urban Age Project,75% of the world’s population will be living in a city by 2050, a leap from the 10% in 1900 and the 25% in 2007. Based on the consumption of 300 calories a day of only fruits and vegetables, one can a feed 375 people, or 150 households, a year. Growing vertically provides social, environmental, and economical benefit to the expanding urban community, and as each element evolves, Harvesting the Future challenges the limits of technology to accommodate the increasing need for farming in the city. The concepts of shifting density and the subsequent need for interweaving spaces have emerged to inform the design approach for Harvesting the Future. Because the incorporation of the public into the program of this building is essential, a market space carves itself into the grade plane to lend itself to become owned by the community through allocated vendor spaces. In the levels above, interior parks are created by weaving planes of hydroponic planter systems with light and with circulation of people. Harvesting the Future integrates seamlessly with the site conditions while setting itself apart visually to state its futuristic addition to the community. This project was a collaborative project with Gary Carnevale & Daniela Rodriguez.

a prison as a gateway? The objective of prison design is to provide secure conditions for the prisoner and civilian. Rather than considering the prison as a place of punishment, the prison needs to be recognized as a place of reform to help reduce the rate of recidivism. A microcosm of the city, the prison provides its residents with work experience and educational opportunities to prepare them for a productive life beyond prison. Helping to integrate the facility into the urban fabric, Upper 30th Street contains retail space, a cafe, visitor’s center, and rooftop park. At the spatial intersection of the overhead residential volumes with the street level public volume is a visitation space for prisoner and civilian. An articulated perforated metal panel system allows each prisoner to control the amount of daylight and visibility into their cell. The changes in aperture of these panels allow the public to engage in the transformational experience of the prisoner, and to view the prison as a collection of individuals vs. a monolithic institution. The limitation, intersection and separation of space, challenge the difference and level of comfort between the prisoner and public space.

HONORABLE MENTION* The current urban condition staggers between the historical origins of the city and the need to accommodate change in the future. This flux creates a tension that requires sensitivity toward the modification of the urban fabric. Linguistically, the term cinema is derived from the Greek word for motion but often now refers to a favorite past time. However, when thinking of the term architecturally, the term “cinema” describes the urban tension between past, present and future. The book Recombinant Urbanism by David Graham Shane describes this era as “cine citta,” or “the world of physical flows, of flows of people and goods on rail, road, and in the air (72). Cine Citta is wedged between the industrial era and modern reformism, hesitating to progress urban development. Therefore, [Cine]City is an exploration to utilize the Reading Viaduct at Spring Garden Street and 9th Avenue in Philadelphia as an element that weave improvement into the city. [Cine]City addresses the need to revitalize the Reading Viaduct to integrate green performative systems into Philadelphia’s infrastructural grid. *One of three honorable mentions after the evaluation of 33 applicants in the final submission round. Competition called students to design an urban cinema, park, and streetscape within 10 days without assistance.
