REDEFINING THE ENVELOPE URBAN OBSOLESCENCE & REUSE Phoenix . AZ Spring 2014
Constructed in 1953 as the First Bank of Arizona, the existing structure of a monolithic one-way slab and joist system was hidden with a facade of painted masonry and drop ceilings. Expanding into downtown Phoenix, Arizona State University took ownership of the building in 2006, repartitioning the interior to support educational programming.
Adjacent to the civic heart of Phoenix, University Center puts a literal and figurative brick wall between itself and a powerful context. Civic Space Park is spatially defined by ASU Downtown buildings and a multi-modal transit center. The building provides vital student services and a home for eight key schools and programs that focus on public policy and urban research.

Masonry infill and ribbon windows are removed to create a dialogue with Civic Space Park.
Positioned as the focus of an integrated downtown campus, University Center currently fails as the face of ASU Downtown.
A double high semi-private plaza is inserted along the pedestrian Taylor Mall to extend Civic Space Park into the building’s footprint.
COR-TEN channels and angles humanize the monumentality of exposed concrete.
A louver and hanger system reproportions the concrete mass with a finer grain.

The reaction leverages University Center’s prominent siting at the crossroads of town and gown. Interior programming is pushed skyward, creating a 22,700 sqft. addition of university office space between levels four through eight. The result is a volume that creates strong anchors along a pedestrian mall to the north and a collector street to the south.
The east facade responds to adjacent development by echoing the undulation of Sonoran canyon walls. The linear urban park at ground level connects to the canal inspired landscape plan of Taylor Mall.

RECONCILING THE RIPARIAN EDGE Phoenix . AZ Fall 2013
Human beings are not out of nature “when they stand in the streets of Manhattan any more than they are in nature when they stand on the mountain above tree-line in Montana. Ashton Nichols From Urbanatural Roosting: Beyond Romantic Ecocrticism
“It’s not easy being green. Kermit the Frog

The Rio Salado Restoration Area contains five miles of the Salt River. Once flowing, the river was marginalized from upstream water supply sourcing. The riverbed became a dumping ground for solid waste. Unresponsive urban growth continued the Salt River’s steady decline.
In conjunction with the city led Rio Salado Restoration project, the Phoenix Audubon Society creates a thriving node of riparian habitat that will grow along the entire river corridor.
A strong plant polyculture is established in swaled habitat patches to reduce project costs as the site reaches to the Rio Salado. The patches weave together through organic seed dispersal, allowing minimal intervention and maintenance.
Linear and strict, the building holds a tight form that reflects the urban adjacency. Transitioning to the demonstration wetland, the east facade and roof reflect the natural entropy of a complex ecosystem.

Interior programming provides habitat education in a formal classroom setting. The demonstration wetland intensifies the learning process by immersing the student into a controlled environment to facilitate understanding. The last step in the learning process is an exploration of the Rio Salado restoration throughout the site.
Intermittent rain events create a dynamic experience as runoff from the roof is channelled into a basin along Central Avenue to the west and throughout the demonstration wetland.

The flowing roof system collects and channels runoff to selected discharge points to showcase wetland recharge processes. Strict horizontal planes dip into the vertical as the Audubon Center serves to create a connection between urban and riparian edges.
A tensile fabric is stretched over a space frame and coated with a synthetic polymer to complete the membrane. The form intrudes on the interior, creating a continuous riparian experience inside and out.
This joining of two seemingly incongruous environments reinforces the understanding that natures exists in the urban fabric as it does in pristine wilderness.

Characterized by saturated substrate, the riparian woodland is home to the largest riparian species. A robust understory is also fully supported, providing foraging and nesting for 70% of Arizona’s endangered fauna.

Bursage Flats Diversity is often bolstered by washes, allowing plant coverage to reach 50% of the land area. Even so, large tree species and dense vegetation growth are still discouraged by intermittent water availability.
Desert Scrub Desert scrub plant communities typically have less than 15% land coverage. Specific plants of interest are introduced to the Rio Salado site to provide crucial foraging and nesting for hardy animals.

THE NEW AMERICAN GALLERY REVISING A TYPOLOGY Tempe . AZ Fall 2014
scientific and logical, typology “canWhile serve as a catalyst for invention.
It is not reductive, but allows urban elements to be perceived as having a meaning that is always original and authentic. Peter Eisenman From The Architecture of the City
Passers by and gallery visitors participate in the conceptualization, creation, and display of ceramics. The new Ceramics Research Center leaves behind static object display for a post-modern inclusion of human experience. Flexible galleries on the first and second floor allow visiting artist and student work displays to rotate easily. With a large collection of these and objects on loan, the Ceramics Research Center accommodates configurations for exhibition, open and closed storage, and archival space.

The open exhibition space acts as a mixing chamber to reflect the spontaneous social interaction of Mill Avenue’s sidewalk. The monolithic concrete wall plays the role of a private building facade, spatially defining the “public right of way” of the interior.

A sliding scale of public/private organizes additional programming along the social spine. The act of making is on display with a porous facade that opens to the north sidewalk for demonstrations and community events.
A dominating cast-in-place wall divides public and private programming. Breaks in the wall for circulation are pulled into the exhibition space and reformed with masonry to transition into the public realm, connecting with the materiality of Mill Avenue sidewalk and facades.
