“But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behavior.�

The Gafney Home in Rochester, NH has been a unique assisted living home since 1904, after being built just 7 years before in 1897. After one addition the home still requires more space and hired Harriman to renovate the existing addition, as well as create even more space.

Along with a co-working, I created four floor plans and the beginnings of a 3-dimensional digital model before funding for the project came to a halt. There were no drawings or files of the existing building - only the addition that came decades later - and so composing the drawings from field measurements was a feat. This unique building has many elevation changes and unique features.

We chose clients for whom to design simple, urban workshops. The chosen client performed very delicate work with heavy firearms, which gave inspiration to build a delicate, winding stair through massive walls. Both the vertical and horizontal thresholds were designed for different users. The client would use the winding staircase to enter is living space above the workshop; whereas, his customers would use the horizontal threshold, moving through a massive wall while being able to view the stair above their heads.

Given a site in the Back Bay of Boston, MA, the objective was to design a multiuse community building that includes a sanctuary, mausoleum, and an outdoor sanctuary. This particular design was guided by the use of natural light provided by the orientation of the site.

The concept of the design is how architecture can allow people to be comfortably aware of his or her surroundings without necessarily knowing the specific details of the spaces around him or her within a particular building. This is achieved with the strategic placement and construction of different wall types that allow natural light infiltration.

Given a slender, fictitious site squeezed between two urban buildings, we were to design a new building for the company IDEO, by employing heavy use of the section, rather than by plan.

While considering the sources of light for the long building, the concept of this particular design was to integrate the main ideas of the workers at IDEO: Inspiration, Ideation, Implementation, and the fluidity between these different spaces.

According to those at IDEO, Inspiration is when the problem or opportunity presents itself and it motivates the search for solutions. Ideation is the developing process of generating and testing those ideas, and Implementation is the path that leaves the project stage and moves into people’s lives .

The objective of this project was to create a connector building from one end of an existing Wentworth building to a separate wing. In this new building will be a collaborative combination of four different majors: Architecture, Industrial Design, Interior Design, and Construction Management.

Founded in 1959 the International Cartographic Association (ICA) brings together researchers, governmental mapping agencies, publishers, software developers, educators, scientists, designers and artists with a singular mission to “promote the discipline and profession of cartography in an international context.� The main goal of this project was to explore design while utilizing or manipulating a uniformly sloped site (in this case, an apple orchard), and creating a building that will allow working fellows to: explore the art element of cartography, facilitate interdisciplinary cross-fertilization of ideas and practices, and to produce and disseminate knowledge and artifacts emerging from the interaction of art and cartography by facilitating installations with associated annotated catalogs, developing multiple forms of expression (i.e. blogs, exhibits), publishing special issues of journals, and developing and publishing books.

The International Cartographers Association is in need of a headquarters for fellows to work and for the public to view their research and their developed work. The headquarters building is to be built in a public place that is consistently accessed by many community members for exercise, play, contemplation, and relaxation.

This site on Magazine Beach in Cambridge, Massachusetts includes an existing, decrepit building that was built in 1818 as the state gun powder magazine. It has beautiful trees, a sloping field, and an in-ground swimming pool with a pool house, since swimming was banned from the Charles River in the 1960’s. In order to better enhance the site, I chose what I believed to be the most valuable elements of the site and designed my buildings to highlight those elements. The final product included two buildings angled to frame the old, existing building, a regrading of the field in order to direct people toward the river to look out across, back at Boston, and moments to pause and appreciate the original site.
49
In order to better serve my concept of highlighting specific elements of the site while creating view ports of those elements or of views across the river, I created a narrative of a possible visitor of the new building, and I drew perspectives of the views that visitor may be welcomed by.

“AXIS Dance Company has become one of the world’s most acclaimed and innovative ensembles of performers with and without disabilities. Founded in 1987, AXIS has paved the way for a powerful contemporary dance form called physically integrated dance.” (axisdance.org) The challenge of this project was to design a building that would house dance studios and performance space for able-bodied and disabled dancers. Featured in my design is an intricate ramp system that moves through thick, heavy walls, out of the building and back in. As you rise up to the next landing, you are able to see into the dance studios on different floor levels. This idea of embracing movement as an everyday performance was applied throughout the building.

The final semester of the Bachelors program was dedicated to a single, community design project. Along with 10 other students, I assisted in a comprehensive design that included retail and office buildings, residential buildings, artist studio space, a hotel, community gardens, and recreational facilities. The site that was to be revived is currently a city bus service lot and garage in Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA. Surrounding the site are parks, other residential neighborhoods, small businesses and shops, and a few institutional buildings. Directly across the street is the Forest Hills train station.

My particular design was for a residential building with outdoor space on my portion of the site. The basis of the design was “private moments.� The idea was to live in a space that is connected to the greater community, yet feels separate and unique due to the moments of privacy.

MANUFACTURERS TRUST BUILDING - Architectural Advertising
MANUFACTURERS TRUST BUILDING STUDY, SOM “The former Manufacturers Trust Company Building, erected in 1953-54 on the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and West 43rd Street, was one of the first buildings in the United States to introduce International Style modernism to bank design. Planned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, with Gordon Bunshaft serving as chief designer, the building is an important early work by one of the country’s leading architectural firms, best known for its pioneering International Style business buildings that provided a potent symbol of corporate America in the post-World War II period. A five-story glass box, featuring clear glass window-walls, thin polished aluminum mullions, and dark gray facings, the monochromatic building is notable for the spare elegance and refinement of its design. The design’s transparency and the articulation of the underlying skeletal structure of the building led the Architectural Forum to praise it as “the first big building truly to fulfill architects’ immaculate drafting board idea of glass as an invisible material.” The modernity and openness of the design reflect the concerns of Manufacturers Trust president Horace C. Flanigan who had wanted this prominently sited branch building to present a modern image and an “inviting look” in keeping with contemporary trends in the banking industry that emphasized customer service. The novel aspects of the design elicited extensive press coverage and attracted 15,000 visitors to the bank in its first week of operation. By proving
68
that good modern design was a lure to customers, the Manufacturers Trust Company Building led many other New York City banks to create similar glass-walled banks in the 1950s, and by the 1960s such banks were
found throughout the country” (Harris 1).

During the first semester of graduate studies we were to analyze existing buildings that were appointed to each student. We were to do this using strictly line drawings, minimizing the use of 3D and rendered images. Using a Revit model, I was able to produce each 2-D drawing, as well as an axonometric view that was used to visually describe the layers of the building. Several research papers were written simultaneously with the visual studies. The end product were 36�x48� and larger drawings that were influenced by the information discovered by the research.

The next four pages are selected images that serve as preview of my thesis studies during the graduate program. The full exploration can be found at: http://issuu.com/caroline1314/docs/thesis_compilation This community proposal explores the collection of small, intimate residences that utilize their appropriated land productively, and celebrate the connections between each house, their occupants, and their shared communal spaces. This type of cohousing community retains ideals of the original American Dream in encouraging home ownership pride by requiring the residents to design, plan, and build their own homes. By keeping building footprints minimal and customized, residents will not only keep their own maintenance costs low, but also contribute to an environment-preserving society.
