scranton housing APARTMENT COMPLEX AND PUBLIC FACILITY
ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
2016
PROJECT TYPE: Residential STUDIO: 5 YEAR: Fall, 2014 LOCATION: Scranton, PA The main ideas for this apartment complex stemmed from the intention to revitalize the city of Scranton. The structure concaves slightly on both street sides to initiate activity on an urban corner lot. The upper levels are dedicated to housing while the ground floor and main anchoring corner structure is reserved for public use. The overall aesthetics and design of the building deals with different forms of perforation. The facade is clad in a permeable geometric design. It is customizable by the occupant to adjust the level of sunlight and privacy that enters the building. The main structure is also punctured at several points along the ground floor to allow access into the interior garden.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAM
An alternative remedy healing facility, located on the first floor of the entire structure. Each specialized facility is divided with entrance paths that interrupts the continuity of the structure
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
The main stair case is located in the center of the building. The other three means of egress are located in the two farthest corners of the building and within the main building

PERFORATED FACADE
the mesh metal facade that clads the exterior of the building provides residents with ample amount of sunlight as well as privacy. They fold back allowing resident to control their environment
GARDEN FOOT PATH
the outdoor facility located within the site, hold a tranquil garden path. It provides a pleasing atmosphere for residents and additional space for therapeutic activities
RESIDENTIAL AMENITIES
located on the upper levels of the corner structure, these are private facilities for residents (laundry, gym, storage, all purpose room)
HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION
circulation through the building existed on every other floor along a single loaded corridor facing the street side.

the wine glass STUDYING ERGONOMICS
I explored the properties of a drinking cup. This led me to rethink the properties of a wine glass in particular and redesign it according to the specific attributes of wine. It was an explorative process of physical qualities as well as digital design.

archive museum EXPLORING PATH AND PLACE THROUGH LIGHT
The site for this project was located in downtown Scranton. The building has front, back and side conditions that needed to be addressed. The design was originally initiated by the word “slip.” The museum consists of modules that slip both in the vertical and horizontal direction. Transportation through the building and connection of the modules is through a series of ramps that wrap around the perimeter of the building. It allows for a steady and gradual experience of exhibits. Light is also filtered through the building generated by the term “slip,” through small slits in the ceiling, perforated sliding screens and a concrete facade designed in conjunction with translucent concrete.

The relief shelter was a design build project carried out by the entire studio class. The intention was to design a project that could be easily constructed by the average person with simple everyday tools and in a reasonable time manner. We also wanted occupants to have the ability to control their environment in a disaster, a condition that would leave most in a state out of their control. This included adjusting levels of privacy, customizing outside aesthetics, and maneuvering interior layout.

I contributed specifically to the design and construction of the interior furnishings of this relief shelter. The two beds efficiently save space by folding up into the wall when not in use and stacking on top of each other. They are constructed together with lightweight plywood, 1/2� bedding mat, and a simple lock and bolt system that works with the overall structure. The table and chairs stack neatly on themselves to form a condensed cube when not in use. The aluminum metal framed container can either hold the plywood box chairs or serve as a four legged table. The chairs are movable pieces of furniture that also act as storage bins.

PERCENT YEARLY SUNSHINE: 58%
This was an urban project located in Soho Manhattan. Close examination of the site through mapping and analysis drawings led me to my final design. It is a six story building with three cohesive programs; an aquaponics, a seafood restaurant, and a farmers market. The perquisite for this project was to incorporate the use of urban farming in New York City. I designed a building that utilized the symbiotic relationship of plants and animals through an aquaponics system to grow produce and to breed sea life. It includes an experiential system of water tanks and gardens that extends through the floors. Visitors have the opportunity to see the production of food from plant to plate.

The ground floor is the most public space, the farmers market. The preceding floors two through five contain a combination of dining space, kitchen space, and the aquaponics system made up of water tanks and plant life. The sixth floor contains office space and a skylight roof to support the nursery. All utilities, including stairs, elevator, and restrooms, are located in the center core.

structural studies LEARNING STRUCTURE THROUGH DRAWING AND CONSTRUCTION
I explored the various components of different types of structural design through my building assemblies class. I learned specific joinery details, material properties, and the assemblage of pieces. The most beneficial methods to my learning process was the construction of a wall section detail model and a hand drawn wall section detail with labeled components displayed in the images on these next few pages.
