01 ENHANCED PERIMETER
[CONCEPT] Enhanced Perimeter reinterprets the rowhouse row into a new geometry that promotes community, social living, and flexible housing, while engaging the public as an urban hub. By implementing a series of folds, Enhanced Perimeter becomes the ideal co-housing network. The increased surface area offers ample light, air, and outdoor space.
[DESIGN] Unlike the traditional rowhouse row with an impermeable street-side edge, this project’s courtyard is entirely open to the public. Pedestrian access points are provided on 19th Street and Cameron Street where the building lifts from the ground. With no back or front, the entire site is designed to promote activity and interaction between residents and neighbors.

[LEFT] A series of folds expand the sidewalk for public functions like food trucks, while increasing light and air to units and creating a variety of unique interior courtyards. Material changes on the street slow traffic and ease pedestrian flow. [RIGHT] Units are clustered into groups with spacious shared kitchens and living rooms, bike storage, patios, and study spaces.

01 ENHANCED PERIMETER While traditional corridor buildings are private and anonymous, the circulation spaces of Enhanced Perimeter double as shared kitchens and lounges, becoming magnets of activity with panoptic views of the street and courtyard. The winding perimeter is subdivided into clusters of units, to allow residents to create their own communities within the complex.
Public atrium Ampitheater seating with glass backing
The ground level is dedicated to shops and other public program intended to draw neighbors into the project. Each corner offers a glass-enclosed volume with terraced seating for public gatherings. From these volumes, the public can circulate to a rooftop walkway with views of the park.

02 FEDERAL COURTHOUSE Third Circuit, Eastern District of Pennsylvania
This proposal for a federal courthouse in Philadelphia recognizes that justice in a democracy is a collaborative process, in which parties convene to resolve conflicts peacefully. Through an aggregation of simple hip roofs, the proposal upends traditional courthouse designs that employ monumentality and hier-
archy to suggest a strong government. Instead, the intersecting roofs elevate a sense of convergence, and suggest that multiple readings are possible in a building with such a variety of people and interests.

Rather than being given figural prominence, each courtroom derives its shape from the negative space created by the islands of program surrounding it. For example, the district courtroom is defined by the judge’s suite, holding cells, jury deliberation room, and clerks’ office. Each of these islands of program are designated to a constituent that must be present in the district court proceedings.

02 FEDERAL COURTHOUSE Third Circuit, Eastern District of Pennsylvania In section, a double-roof system gives figural prominence to the volumes surrounding each courtroom, highlighting the presence of multiple constituents in the courthouse. The standing seam metal roof employs a trompe l’oeil strategy of projected lines to undermine a single reading of the building and further emphasize the multiplicity of actors present.

03 RIGHT TO RETURN [CONTEXT] In north Philadelphia, rising property values are forcing residents out of the neighborhood. To better understand the needs of the community, the design team collaborated with Youth United for Change (YUC), a group dedicated to promoting neighborhood rights and strong public schools. We spacialized the issues important to YUC with a series of maps and diagrams. [DESIGN] After working with YUC, we began to explore the possibility of a new community for Philadelphia’s marginalized. Working with a site in Northern Liberties on the river, we developed a catalogue of urban cores—lightweight, inexpensive, and adaptable—to be inserted into the site over time. Each team member designed a phase of the project. The drawings below represent the third and final phase: the realization of a self-sustaining community.

[Below] The cores are strategically placed to activate the site. Some are attached to vacant buildings while others act as stand-alone elements. When placed, they create new peripheral zones—flexible spaces for rooftop gardens, playgrounds, theaters, skate parks and more.

Residents harvest fish from the fish farm, to be eaten or sold in the community market.
Private meeting spaces are camoflauged from intruders. the vendor core serves residents as well as theater goers.
Beneath the playground is a concealed meeting room, accessable via the theater stage.
Oblique planes offer theater seating, skateboarding, and ampitheater space. In the distance, an urban farm tower grows food for the community.

04 MANITOGA GALLERY This proposal began as an investigation of tightly nested rock formations, inspired by the geological nature of the site. Applying the logic of interlocking elements to the interior volumes, however, yielded new architectural consequences beyond the original metaphor. The interlocking volumes, which offer visual connections between each other but no direct access, provide circuitous pathways inside the galery for an experience of exploration and discovery.

05 MANITOGA PAVILION Designed for Russel Wright’s Manitoga estate, the pavilion uses aperture and material changes to play with an implied threshold between interior and exterior. The aluminum shell reflects the natural environment, while clusters of dark upholstery foam absorb light and sound to create a contemplative interior. A single aperture overhead offers a framed view of the trees above.
[Left] The pavilion meets the ground at three points, creating arched entries. Aluminum sheets are folded to create a soft profile. [Right] The pavilion is constructed in four pieces which are then joined. A skeleton of wooden members provides the primary structure. A secondary structure of wire mesh adds rigidity, and becomes the surface to which the aluminum and foam skin is attached.
