I’ve begun to have new outlook on the way I see new places see new spaces. I can’t walk down a city block without analyzing how a thing is made what its geometry if the is a rhyme and rhythm to it. I feel like I need to dissect and figure it out. Savannah, Georgia is a multi-layered concepts spawning from its early roots and colorful history. Those same roots appear ever present today. The history makes Savannah. The Architecture of the city is its history book. The architecture and context leaves hints about what a space was used for how its streets where located. I say multi-layered both metaphorically and literally. The almost cavernous, subterranean feeling, site is located in factor’s walk between the face of cliff and the cotton exchange with a path way leading to the Savannah River. The intervention is to be a memorial for those once enslaved in this place. The entrance to this site starts from above and you move down in to dark place of awareness, a kind of introduction to the site and what will be experienced, overlooking most if the intervention and a hint of light at the end. There is another space for education, I history lesson with writing and imagery leading to a smaller scaled space for recollection and reflection. This will in the end lead to the Light that was hinted at the beginning which is a release from the dark memorial place into the wide open expanse overlooking the river .

Situated on a tidal pool this intervention is meant to change not only with the seasons, but also with the tides. This “Museum of Light� is more than just a place for shadows to make a play ground but a multi-sensory experience. The sound of water and wind are used to shape individual experience with in the Architecture. The Rising of the ocean experienced with in the building will affect those sounds and give the inhabitant(s) a play of phenomenological experiences with in. The Site is based on the black and white photo to the left. Programmed spaces were placed upon the through an episodic process of hierarchical delineation from start to finish. Utilizing various methods of control, there is a celebration three distinct sources of light. Each light source is indicative of the spatial use. The Sequential glowing rods (A) act as the start point giving pace and direction bring the user to a place with and unknown source of the light, the altar (B) then brought to reflect upon their visit and contemplate (C).

RE-CREATION
Located in a small park off of Fletcher Ave new 56th street in Temple Terrace, FL, the site is on a small bend in the Hillsborough River lending views, following the river upstream, to the north and across the river to the east overlooking lettuce lake state park. The program is intended to be a day time retreat for small groups. With emphasis on ReCreation, this recreational lodge reorganizes the site that it is conducive to seclusion while employing the existing site conditions and natural boundaries to reinforce that idea.
USF riverfront park
The scheme of the building is that of a large boundary which blocks the once open view to the river. The approach to the site follows a path that is preexisting with in the park. Along this northbound path is where the intervention begins with a guiding wall that, while approach the entrance, gives you glimpses of the river to the east. Upon entering the lodge the inhabitant is now fully aware of the context and in a place of possibility. The required program is not typical but more metaphorical in what each space should achieve. In treating the program like a precession (a programmed element) spaces are methodically placed upon the site with possibility, precession, connecting them all in an order of importance and personal meaning starting with awareness of site, the possibility of movement, celebration of context, a moment reverie along the river’s edge with cooperation in connecting the river to land. These more public spaces lead to the more quite areas of refuge and three solitary spaces intended for renewal of one’s self. Initial site organizations based on n approach visuals and site liness

FLOOR+ CEILING
This project is an exploration floor and ceiling and how these two elements meet, relate, and inform each other. In this project the ceiling is treated as the underside of an overhead structure or roof which could just as easily be another floor. There is a challenge with in the program to define space along the floor with creating walls or allowing the ceiling to touch the floor in anyway. The Ceiling studies were focused mainly on light and how it could and does promote movement and differentiate areas. Combine this with the idea pushing and pulling a floor plane to create an undulating spatial relationship. Not allowing floor and ceiling to actually meeting. The idea of a light weight framed cantilever became the structural concept used in the form of 2 wings. With a translucent surface and plates situated on the ceiling. The structure is wide open down the center following reinforcing the main axis of the program. The way the floor is laid out is both a product of axial strength of the initial study model and the program. Spaces where placed based on privacy and function, the most private being the lowest and deeps-set into the site while the more public space where places In the brightest exterior areas. The roof also helps to enforce these ideas as it angled to allow for a variety of lighting, and the ceiling panels are meant to fall in to help reinforce privacy in required spaces.

SITE MAP
14th Pl
Resting between two multistory buildings, there is a pedestrian pathway between Collins Ave and Ocean Dr. acts as a thoroughfare between Espanola Way and the beaches. The site exists at a shift in the street grid of south beach giving it a unique shape with in the typological South Beach vernacular Architecture. Studies of the local Miami typology reveals a celebration of the space between buildings and building functions that, mainly on Ocean Dr., spill out into the street. This sort of unique architecture gives way to a unique pedestrian interaction with many places along the beach. Unique in that you must walk through a restaurant or a shop, etc. to get to where you going Adapting these two key concepts was instrumental in creating a new intervention with in the given site. Allow pedestrians to interact with the intervention, even in passing, and fully adapting the existing space [between] for the required functions. The program is to house a New World Symphony (NWS) fellow and NWS staff member, also allowing for a cafe at ground level, gallery and gathering, and pedestrian passage. The driving concepts exploit the idea of passage into 2 paths through the alley. The public path which stays on the ground and the private path that moves up into the intervention. The more private functions are then further split give the housing units to the west end of the alley and the gathering / performance space the west side allowing inhabitants to overlook the beach off in the distance.

BOAT HOUSE | POOL HOUSE
A site with a history buried in natural decay showing fragments of ruin and glimpses of what it was once used for. The site as a context contains, natural features and man made features. Notably a red brick building that was once use to house and act as repair shop for trolley cars in the 1920’s. The same sort of trolleys can only be seen in use in Ybor city, which was once part of this vast system of transit in its time. Since then, all that remains are scattered hints of the transit system throughout the Tampa Bay area.
reveal + realize
Taking this history into account I didn’t want to leave this building untouched. Utilizing this massive abandoned building was instrumental in driving my concepts and ideas about how this project should come together. Reusing the trolley barn in a capacity similar to its previous use became feasible with the program requirements and even rather appropriate considering the distance from the Hillsborough River. The trolley would be flooded. The program requirements are, to create a boat house and storage for varying sized row boats, kayak storage for general use, and providing a place to launch the boats. Allowing for number of other athletic activities is in the scope as well, including a gym and competition swimming pools.

The idea is to utilize the core concepts from the highline to influence and direct the design of a Morgan Library Annex. The goal is to Create a place for education for both youths and adults. Ease of access from both ground and highline levels. Invite in from, engulf and bring in and integrate the highline. Create intimate quiet spaces for contemplation and reflection. Create gallery spaces for public viewing of precious documents. 57

The city itself is a context creating such a unique experience as well, new construction. The highline lends itself to new access through different areas an elevated extension of the city. It is an invitation to rest observe and reflect; a place for education a space for preservation; a container to keep in reach of with easy of accessibility.
NYC HIGHLINE
It is an important moment in the fabric of new York, an abandoned rail road soaring above the city streets. It is a pedestrian path way slicing north and south some 20 blocks. It is A public park and a market place. It’s a place of quietude with in the heart of a bustling loud busy city expressing hints of the sound and rhythm of what lies below. A rediscovered oasis and peaceful sanctuary hovering above the capillaries of the city that gives back to nature what was once taken away. A place to rediscover nature, the city and the music that makes it up

Study model further pushing the ideas of highline interaction and vitalization by introducing a new point of interest. Concurrently, development of spatial division is becoming more apparent in this iteration in that the highline acts as a boundary condition separating the lower public areas (museum, galleries, etc.) with more private, quite, atmosphere that is inherent in a library type of setting.
