SPRING 2020 | ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION TOWER
5
Architecture Education Tower This tower is composed of different layers of stacked floorplates grouped into chunks or larger layers. The chunks serve to define different types of program and contribute to the ever shifting exterior floor plan shape. The tower has three glass floors, floors inset from the floorplates above and below them and comprised of a glass perimeter. These floors serve for either leisure or as review spaces but help to break up the shape of the tower. Along all the other floors except the three bottom floors and the glass floors, the floors are comprised of a glass perimeter followed by a balcony space outside of them, followed by an operable metal mesh facade. The combination of the metal mesh with the bands of glass gives the impression the building is lighter than it really is. The metal mesh also serves to filter the exterior sunlight and is operable to allow it to be opened for more sunlight if desired. Combined with the offset of the interior glass perimeter, despite the building’s translucency, sunlight cannot glare straight throughout the building but rather is filtered and controlled in its entry. Another effect of the metal mesh is that it allows for privacy by allowing for those inside the tower to look outside but providing a gray screen protecting from external viewers. Similarly, the plinth’s buildings are very solid on the outside refusing to allow visibility through them but once inside, the occupant can look inwards to the plaza or courtyard via the interior facing windows. The last feature of this building are the skylights. Shaped reminiscent of the possible openings of the mesh, these skylights allow for sunlight to enter either into the plinth buildings or into the James Turell-like space on the top floor.

FALL 2020 | SCIENTISTS’ RETREAT
11
Mt. Vetter Scientists’ Retreat The Mt. Vetter Scientists’ Retreat is a building serving as both a lookout for fires as well as housing for the scientists. On the southeast side is an open viewing platform both for the general public as well as for the people stationed there. Governed primarily by long orthogonal shapes, the scientists’ retreat is a hybrid design of a bridge and a cantilever spanning from the two uppermost foundations. The cantilever section of the building uses a Howe Truss to support itself whereas the main bridge uses a truss with a moment frame in the middle. Entering from the 270-degree viewing platform, the program is organized with a central spine for living and more private spaces discreetly arranged along the sides. The exterior uses a stone facade with windows and a skylight to provide sunlight inside.

Agricultural Community Space Nodes of Union In Nodes of Union, people were brought together by crossing paths. Some of these people include agricultural workers that would work from 6am to 3pm, the farmer and his family, 6 students, and a few administrative employees. The program is split with the living and sleeping spaces on the east side, the manual activity on the west, the scholars’ working spaces in the southwest, and a main community space in the middle. Circulation happens along the corridors between the rooms of the building and the interior courtyards. These corridors include operable glass windows which allow for control of the climate, whether to let in air or keep out the cold. The corridors intersect at nodes where people could come together. Some of these nodes include the main citrus cleaning area with the workers on the west side, the large communal area in the center, and the living room in the southeast. At these areas, the corridors are dissolved into the larger volumes allowing for the unobstructed circulation as well as entry into a larger and more communal space.

SPRING 2021 | MIXED USE PROJECT
Exterior Perspective
23
Mixed Use Project In the mixed use project, the massing of the project was first bound by the property lines of the site and alignments with nearby buildings. One of the major aspects of this building was the double courtyard system which would act as the lungs of the building and would allow residents, light, and air, to enter and circulate through the building. The residential parking is below grade and the commercial parking is at grade. On the first floor is the commercial area including retail, a cafe, and a restaurant. Entering through the southern plaza, stairs form a procession up to the second floor where the residential units start. For the unit mix there are 8 studios, 15 two bedrooms, 19 one bedrooms, and 3 cohousing units. The target demographic chosen were expatriates and foreigners. Because of this, there are more social spaces included in this building such as the option for cohousing as well as additional spaces to socialize and interact including rec rooms, laundromats, and the roof terrace. The facade of the building is metal cladding perforated by balconies and windows. The cladding aligns along the columns that appear against the facade and form a grid with the floor plates. Finally, the roof was made to be a green space with both planters and vegetable beds as well as a bocce field shaded by solar panels.
