«midtown atlanta charter high Georgia Institute of Technology Options 2, Portman Prize Competition, Studio - Spring 2013 Charter high school for the performing arts at the intersection of Peachtree Street and North Avenue This project explores a compact sixty thousand square foot plan that through a variety of light wells and floor openings creates a mysterious and compelling space for students of a performing arts charter high school in the City of Atlanta. The double-skin facade screens excess heat and light and obscures building logic, inviting passers-by to explore the open-air workshop, performance, and gallery space.

Preliminary Massing Model from south

From a site perspective the school is roughly divided into three elements: gym, school, and reflecting pool. The gym and school portions cover the parking and service and create an outdoor terrace for gathering and exterior workshop. The gym roof covers part of the outdoor space, separates it from the public part of Peachtree St, and supports an exterior gym above. The cladding is a double-glazed system with internal perforated panels for shading and expression of light, shadow, privacy, and openness. Vertical fins in either aluminum or framed glass extend outward and support the vertical glass panels. These extend down from the main volume of the building, creating a screen that obscures the building structure and frames interactive spaces in around the exterior. The exterior gym is also clad in a thin screen of the same double-glazed system that is supported by columns that extend upwards from the interior gym’s volume.

Georgia Institute of Technology Urban Design Policy and Implementation - Fall 2011 Intersection improvements and re-imagination of shopping center as transit-oriented development The Sage Hill shopping center sits at the intersection of Johnson Rd, Zonolite Rd, and Briarcliff Rd, and is adjacent to the intersection of Briarcliff and Clifton Rd. Complicated traffic patterns, topography, decaying infrastructure, and large amounts of ROW given over to automobiles contribute to the safety and aesthetic issues identified by the Lindbergh-LaVista Corridor Coalition in their “Blueprints” study.

The area has a range of housing types, from older, lower-income apartments, ‘upscale’ student-oriented apartments, single-family homes, and re-inhabited warehouses. Retail ranges from the grocery, restaurant, barber, and small doctor’s office to the QT gas station, Pitch and Putt liquor store, cleaners, Clifton Corridor/Emory bus service center, and other kinds of light industrial, service, and retail in the older warehouses along Zonolite. Some of the single-story retail buildings along Briarcliff and at Sage Hill itself are vacant, possible sites for “regreening” or “redevelopment”.

The study area is located near the borders of Fulton County, the City of Atlanta (NPU-F), unincorporated DeKalb County, the edges of the LLCC Druid Hills Civic Association, and Emory / CDC campus areas. A project like this could create opportunities for cross-jurisidiction coordination, allowing a more integrated conception of the local public space.

With the beginning of the current round of Clifton Corridor transit studies and alternatives analysis and increasing pressure from development at the nearby Emory and CDC campuses, there is an excellent opportunity to create and implement long-term visions of this important commercial node. Short-term improvements that can be effective in improving vehicle and pedestrian safety and experience and inspiring further change include re-timing existing traffic signals and creating more appropriate, consistent, and helpful signage Burial of power poles and lines and improved street lighting and furniture would create an improved street environment, encouraging more users and uses to enrich the neighborhood.

center itself and adjacent businesses. Funding for the initial improvements might come from local monies generated by the Transportation Investment Act (TIA). From the medium to long term, rehabilitation of the public right-of-way and densification might come from tax-increment financing instruments or supported by a community improvement district as more businesses locate here. Some unneeded existing right-of-way could be sold or conveyed as easements to adjacent property owners to facilitate implementation.

The main improvements shown in this project include revising the two lighted intersections as a pair of roundabouts, reducing signalization delays (especially during off-peak times) and the need for lengthy turn lanes. These could be pursued largely without affecting adjacent properties. Finally, assuming the eventual connection of light-rail transit connecting Emory/CDC/Druid Hills directly with MARTA, the project includes a possible plan for re-developing the Sage Hill

site: sandy springs, ga tools: CAD, photoshop, graphite basswood, cardboard, glass model

A lap pool is suspended above the sidewalk to filter and spread natural light to other interior swimming areas, fitness room, and dance studio. The interactions between light, water, wood and steel create a unique atmosphere that make this center stand out among the sprawling suburbs. Parking is directed underground and a portion of the site adjacent to the main intersection is given over to a small green space. Several meeting rooms and a small café are arranged to provide separate access for community use.

«every house, every home»

Georgia Institute of Technology Paris Program, "Paris High", Studio - Spring 2007 Exhibition of Southern culture - hypothetical counterpart to the Louvre Atlanta exchange of cultural artifacts. The visitor first encounters examples from the burial ritual of Southern Native American tribes, continuing through symbols of the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Henry Grady’s early 20th century New South. The final layer, representing contemporary Georgia, contains a newspaper and video archive allowing visitors to access cultural information not found in the rest of the house. A “backyard” deck allows one an unhindered encounter with the Louvre’s Perrault facade, throwing the juxtaposition into sharp focus.

ÂŤlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;histoire de la forme urbaine de parisÂť paris urban history - journal gt paris program - fall 2006

sites: various, paris, france tools: graphite, cut-paper, photoshop A carousel book, with wirtten and illustrated sectons, is created to journal and analyze elements of the adopted urban space of paris. The non-traditional format creates many opportunities for the creative representation of space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through drawing, text, and modelmaking. Cut-out panels edit the view of the included renderings and text, and create an additional surface to render the flattened city. By making the pages reflective of the urban spaces illustrated, the monumental elements of the city can be brought to the foreground rather than hidden by a rectangular binding. Folding the surfaces of long texts allows the reader to physically unfold the layers of meaning. The traveler can also experience different readings of the city by re-arranging or substituting new pages.

«alhadeff passover haggadah» personal project spring 2010 - spring 2011

site: atlanta, ga tools: InDesign, photoshop Another challenge in typesetting a traditional text like the Haggadah, is that paragraphing and line content remains fixed and resistant to change. Keeping sections of related content together on the same page often resulted in too much or too little space, especially with the added complication of adding images (with captions).

A bilingual Hebrew and English manual for the service of the Passover meal displays the traditional text read with instructions for the Passover ritual translated into JudeoSpanish (Ladino). The book is illustrated with family photos from over 40 years of celebrating the Passover in Atlanta, Chicago, and elsewhere. A family tree section at the beginning records the family’s history since the late 19th century in Constantinople and the Isle of Rhodes and illustrates portraits of the ‘first-cousins’ and group photos from the recently begun family reunions.

Modern Latin fonts Parisine and Trebuchet are used to clearly mark the text off into sections which family members take turns reading aloud. Recent re-translations of the Bible are drawn on to better clarify the text for contemporary usages.

The Haggadah is recorded with the text as passed-down in a typewritten copy from Turkey and includes several popular table songs translated into Ladino. After the main text of the Haggadah, a traditional Alhadeff seder menu is given, with recipes for important selections.

The facing Hebrew text is typeset in a traditional font, allowing the texts to be recalled in their original language. Following the conventions of Hebrew typesetting, the book is bound on the right-side and ‘drop-words’ are used to delineate sections and paragraphs. Prominence is given to quoted biblical verses to clearly expose the underlying structure of the service, usually hidden by conventional typesetting.

One of the chief challenges in creating a multilingual book, especially moving between a Western language and a Middle-Eastern language, was proper alignment of text lines, especially given that many non-native speakers are not expert in reading Hebrew text without added vowel markings. Instead of stacking a line of text on top of one vertical space, extra space must be allowed for above and below the line of consonants to avoid collisions with the lines above and below.

Blessed be the Omnipresent!

Blessed be He who has given the Torah to His people Israel. The Torah speaks to four children: the wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who doesn’t know how to ask.

The wise son: What does he say? “What are the testimonies, laws, and judgments, which the LORD has commanded you?” And you should tell him the laws of the Passover offering: that after eating the Pesach, no dessert should be set on the table. The wicked son: What does he say? “What do you mean by this service?” [Exodus 12:26] For you -- and not for himself, as if he is separating himself from the community. And you should rebuke him and say that “it is because of what the LORD did for me when he brought me out of Egypt”. [Exodus 13:8] For me and not for him, for, had he been there, he would not have been redeemed. 29 Alhadeff Passover Haggadah

«healthy architecture» Georgia Institute of Technology Options 1, Studio - Fall 2012 Primary care clinic and research laboratory attached to the Grady Healthcare System on Edgewood Avenue. Patients enter the clinic from Edgewood Avenue into a central glass-enclosed lobby. The brick elements housing the main program spaces surround the street area, creating a space into which activities from the ground-floor retail expand. The entire building steps back from the existing sidewalk, allowing an expansion of the currently inadequate 5’ clear zone as surrounding buildings are redeveloped. A small physical therapy or aerobics studio creates additional activity both on the ground floor and at the sidewalk edge.

Patients go upstairs via glass stair or elevator to the clinic check-in and waiting room. Seventeen clinic exam rooms are located on the west adjacent to a light well, protected by a planting area of bamboo for privacy. Patient circulation is separated from doctor and staff circulation by the central core. Doctor’s offices are located in the east, adjacent to the front and rear. A small shared breakroom and collaboration areas near the offices create spaces for nurses, doctors, and researchers to mix.

On the research floor, there are four main labs at each of the corners of the plan, with a set of west and east offices easily accessible from the lab and central core. A support lab, shared office suite and shared conference room are provided in the middle of the building, lit by skylights.

«clermont motor hotel» clermont hotel, ponce de leon avenue, atlanta design competetition, july 2009

program: A revitalization of this neglected Atlanta landmark. The competition calls for designs in three areas of the hotel: lobby, guest room, and rooftop amenity. response: A rooftop bar (and “pool” space), with additional open-air seating allows views of Ponce de Leon’s nightlife and engagement with Midtown’s skyline. Raising the seating above the roof, we allow several top floor guest rooms additional opportunities for the capture of natural light. A light-weight enclosure and street furniture re-capture part of the parking apron to create an extended, openair lobby space. This engages with the existing lively street life.

«revive 285 top-end» 3d modeling of transportation alternatives employment - arcadis us - 2009-2010

site: interstate 285, atlanta, ga tools: sketchup, ArcMap

Present transportation alternatives to the public, informing them what each alternative includes and how it would affect their commute and neighborhoods.

A total of eight alternatives (including a required “nobuild” scenario) are considered at this stage of inquiry: further analysis and public input will choose preferred alternatives for further study and eventual implementation.

I produced these 3D models and images by coordinating between project planners and engineers at ARCADIS. Geographic Information System software was used to supplement these images and drawings with maps showing the impacts of the proposed alternatives. Ten sites throughout the corridor were selected to develop detailed renderings showing the possibilities.

Transportation systems under consideration include gradeor barrier-separated HOT3 lanes, express bus routes, bus rapid transit with shared and dedicated rights of way, and light rail transit. These systems are also combined in several ways to maximize their impacts. Revive285 provides a framework to reconsider past projects at a larger scale and integrate them with new ideas.

«brookwood»

city transportation interchange line of site competition 2008

site: atlanta [amtrak, brookwood] station tools: sketchup, graphite

program: A transportation interchange to facilitate commuting via bicycle. response: The design is a re-imagining of the historic “Brookwood station” (originally Peachtree Station: Neal Reid, 1918) creating a multi-modal transfer point between MARTA heavy rail and bus services, Amtrak’s Crescent service, pedestrians, and bicycles.

Existing MARTA Stations Existing MARTA Rail Proposed MARTA Rail Proposed Bicycle Route Proposed Interchanges

From the re-used station, the design imagines a multiuse trail suspended above the adjacent interstate 75/85 “connector” linking Buckhead/Peachtree Hills, Midtown, Georgia Tech, and Downtown Atlanta with the existing Freedom Parkway multi-use trail. At several important cross streets, future opportunities exist for amenity-spaces: small food-service vendors, bicycle repair shops, and places to sit and contemplate this reclamation of the division in Atlanta’s urban fabric. The existing station lies near the busy northern interchange between interstates 75 and 85, wide urban interstates that carry millions of automobiles daily through the downtown Atlanta area. To the immediate south is the Midtown area, in the process of becoming a revitalized center for offices, culture, and shopping, and is within view of the new Atlantic Station, a redevelopment of an long idle steel mill. The station currently receives only two passenger trains daily, both on the Amtrak Crescent service that serves cities from New Orleans to New York City. It currently has very weak links to other transit options, requiring a short walk or bus ride from the nearest MARTA heavy rail station. Limited parking options and poor intersection mechanics tie up station traffic during the twice daily passage of trains. CSX freight traffic dominates the remaining time, and the station becomes dormant, empty save for a small Amtrak staff and a few waiting passengers.

By choosing this location for a transportation interchange, one takes advantage of the existing Amtrak service, proximity to existing and unbuilt MARTA lines, and a prominent location on Peachtree Street.

ÂŤenfinÂť

I relax by putting pencil to paper: By letting my thoughts bleed onto the blank space of my square canvas, my body becomes involved in the process of understanding and intervening in the built and unbuilt environment.

«emory university graduate school of architecture» A concept for a small graduate architecture studio at Emory University’s campus in Atlanta, adjacent to the CSX tracks. A small lounge looks at the tracks. Several levels of studio spaces bring light into work areas and create interesting sectional moments. A bridge across the tracks makes the school a common interchange between two parts of the campus.
