T H E N EW C OLLECTI VE COMMONS UVA SoA | ARCH 3020 | Spring 2021 Studio: The Student Center as Civic Anchor at UVA Location: Charlottesville, Virginia

The New Collective Commons ties into existing physical and social networks of the Charlottesville community, enhancing the relationship between Charlottesville residents and University students. Located at the intersection of academic buildings, student housing, and residential neighborhoods, the site presents the opportunity to serve local stakeholders as both a student-oriented building and a community center. The proposal hybridizes civic amenities and academic spaces with the aim to blur existing lines of separation between the student body and broader Charlottesville community.

The proposed development contains programmed study, library, and auditorium spaces, along with deliberately unprogrammed space to be informed by evolving community needs. The form consists of two blocks with circulation cores inside. A second story bridges the two blocks and creates a connection point to the upper terrace of the site. Interior voids bring light to the lower levels and act as visual connectors between floors. An inhabitable green rooftop and sunken courtyard offer a variety of communal spaces for students and community members to share and enjoy.

01. Site

02. Initial Massing

The existing site includes a parking lot, basketball courts, as well as the Dell pond. The site is located at the intersection of student housing, academical buildings, and Charlottesville neighborhoods.

The massing strategy embraces existing circulation routes students take to traverse the site while minimizes uneeded parking and maximizes greenspace.

03. Bridge

04. Rotate

A bridge to the upper terrace of the site as well as a cantalieverd second story creates a better circulation flow and connects ground level spaces.

Rotating the structure allows for specific views of the Dell, park, and upper terrace to be framed ultimately enhancing the sites unique qualities.

05. Dig

06. Extend

A central courtyard allows for light to enter the subteranean level, while creating a space for students and Charlottesville residents to cohabitate.

Refelecting pools connect the exterior spaces to the Dell pond further situating the building in its surrounding landscape.

A T R A D E SC HOOL FOR CULI NARY ARTS UVA SoA | ARCH 3010 | Fall 2020 Studio: Vertical Mobility Location: New York City, New York

The Trade School for Culinary Arts stands at the intersection of commerce, culture, practical study, and public enjoyment.

Tasked with rethinking a traditional trade school, the proposal’s metabolic design facilitates organic exchange across floors, spaces, and use cases. The layout acts as the connective tissue for farmers, butchers, and bakers; apiarists, craftsmen, and candlestick makers; culinary students, consumers, and passers-by, to engage in the symbiotic interactions embodying the host—New York City’s—ethos.

From the basement-level subway terminal, visitors enter a farmers’ market inspired reception hall, further opening into a double height vendor area. A “fire pit” at the heart of the space fulfills both aesthetic and functional roles. The light of the flame pierces upwards, sharply illuminating the atrium’s central void, while simultaneously softening visitors’ optical transition from the subway’s cold overhead fluorescence to the grotto’s ambient warmth within. The fire powers an open-flame cooking range, marking centerstage for culinary seminars and acting as the cynosure for butchers and chefs to showcase their talents when the space transitions

14

to a feasting hall at night. Just as respiration circulates oxygen through the body, the grotto’s design circulates activity through the shops in the basement, and upwards towards the second floor cafe. With additional access to Chrystie Street, the cafe acts as a membrane connecting the building to the city’s street level. From street level, the upper plates of the building extend gradually towards Sara Roosevelt park, like saplings instinctively growing towards the sun. From the top floor, the rooftop Sara Roosevelt Park opens onto the elevated promenade.

Unobstructed by shade from the urban canopy, the park doubles as an agricultural space supporting community-garden style farm plots for culinary students to cultivate their “school supplies” and community members to enjoy the abundance of nature. Even when all gardeners and park-goers have returned home, the ecosystem is dutifully tended by the building’s only full time residents— bees inhabiting the rooftop apiary—providing resources for the cooks, bakers, and candlestick makers to refine their products for use in the classroom and market below.

15

An Almanac of Connective Tissues The collage studies explore qualities of New York City. The strict grid of the city creates a metering system within the structure of each collage. Central Park is represented as a void, reading in section as a vertical atrium. The section of Bramante’s Tempietto corresponds to the grid of New York City with a central void and cave like basement reminiscent of the subway system. The cave like basement becomes a grotto esque gathering space.

17

From Frame to Plane A series of concept models, informed by the initial collage iterations, explore the relationships between gravity and lightness, frame and plane, and opacity and translucency. Materials such as glycerin, rockite, eggshell, waterbottle, toothpicks, and wooden dowels were used to achieve spatial and physical qualities.

C H A PU LTA PEC PARK SECTI ON 3 MASTERPLAN & PAVIL ION PROPOSAL UVA SoA | ARCH 4010 | Fall 2021 Studio: Mexico City Location: Chapultapec Park, Mexico City, Mexico

The Chapultapec Park Section 3 Master Plan proposal aims to navigate the sites challenging topographical, ecological, and hydrological conditions while reviving the park’s rich historical significance to Mexico. Chapultapec Park is one of the largest parks in the Americas. With a history spanning the Aztec Empire, Colonial Spain, and present day Mexico, the park is a critical source of cultural identity for Mexico City and Mexico as a whole. Chapultapec Park sections 1 and 2 have undergone significant master planning efforts, however, section 3 still stands in disrepair.

Phase two of the studio dives into an individual site development. The site intervention proposal aims to create a communal space showcasing Mexican culture through an open air theater inspired by Aztec art and architecture. A terraced garden reintroduces native plant species that have been taken over by invasive species throughout the park, while simultaneously creating a space for rest and relaxation.

N O M A D IC MI NI MAL DWELLI NG UVA SoA | ARCH 4020 | Spring 2022 Studio: Emerging Advanced Technologies Location: Siteless

The Nomadic Minimal Dwelling offers a solution to the overcrowding and surging housing costs in areas affected by the ‘zoom boom’ by providing a modern alternative to current mobile home typologies.

With the opportunity to work remotely due to the Coronavirus, areas with good outdoor recreation have seen big city challenges in small towns. An influx of people moving to these destinations has caused housing prices to increase. In turn, many locals of these areas are forced to relocate. The proposal allows those moving from a big city to a scenic destination the ability to do so without exacerbating the housing issue.

The expandable, offgrid, home offers a permanent feel for a temporary condition. The client can purchase or rent the Nomadic, move it to their desired destination, live and work from the home remotely, and pack it up and leave the location whenever they desire.

While positioned as a solution to the covid ‘zoom boom’ housing issue, the Nomadic can also serve as a temporary ADU. The hydraulic foundation allows for the structure to be situated with no permanent foundation making it a desirable alternative to permanent ADUs.

The Nomadic is transported in the folded up form by road as it conforms to roadway height and width regulations. The packed dimensions allow the unit to be parked in standard parking space. The Nomadic mechanically unfolds into the living form with programmed spaces (kitchen, living, bathroom, bedroom, office) defined by the foldable core.

PACKED CORE The core is in the packed configuration during transport. All funriture is housed within.
