REMEMBERANCE
ALZHEIMERS TREATMENT AND RESOURCE CENTER
Second Floor Plan
Site Map
This collaborative project focuses on the creation of a wellness center for Alzheimers treatment. The facility was designed to be a physically and mentally stimulating environment in which the targeted patients would have access to roam around or participate in activities in safety and comfort. The facility was designed to match the surrounding site context and maintain the urban wall, while using architectural techniques such as clearstories for access to natural light and a roof garden pathway.

URBAN SHIFT
CHILDREN’S ART THERAPY CENTER
Philadelphia, PA
The purpose of this project was to create a duality program for an Art Center with an alternative night program. My concept focused on the shifting of spaces and the facade in order to create exterior balconies highlighting circulation.

Site Map
Concept Diagrams
Urban Shift is located near Logan Circle in Philadelphia with the intent of being a special needs, children’s art therapy center in the daytime, and a secondary program at night. The concept behind this program was to utilize intersecting geometries to create private and public spaces. The intersecting unites are recessed in order to convey the importance and idea of privacy. In this way, diagonal circulation is used to transverse these geometries and creates outdoor public spaces of interaction which are created by these shifts in spaces.

Making use of vertical planes with different materials and properties, the goal is to show though this upcoming merger, the two entities will eventually be able to come together and create something no one could have thought of before. The outer layer consists of a ribbed, frosted glass; while, the interior layer consists of glass covered with reflective film. Exploded Axonometric

INTERSECT
BLUE BELL PARK ENTRY PAVILION
Philadelphia, PA
This semester was focused around designing in open spaces and working with distinct topography. With this in mind my pavilion is conceptually based around the idea of triangular spaces and levels.
Instructor: Craig Griffin | Studio 4 | 2016

Site Plan
Making use of the site's topography, Nature's Stage uses the descending contours of the landscape in order to create multiple levels that create points of interest and clear views. The lowest portion of the learning center is an exterior amphitheater which becomes the radial center point.
