«Zed-H Housing Studio» SUMMARY
Georgia Institute of Technology Design+Research Studio – Spring 2014 Fall 2013 Team: Namrata Dani, Junying Shi, Tyrone Marshall, Paul Szymkiewicz, Yiuyan Jia Spring 2014 Team: Daniel V Alhadeff; Facade Consultants: Tyrone Marshall, Paul Szymkiewicz The Auburn Avenue Opportunity Housing project seeks to respond to increasing numbers of professionals seeking live-work and transit-adjacent arrangements. The building is located near the King Memorial MARTA station, new Atlanta Streetcar, and the Beltline Eastside Trail. It uses arrays of solar panels on the rooftops to offset its energy usage and assumes that energy recovery ventilation (ERV) units are installed in each apartment. Cross laminated timber structure is clad with phenolic-resin panels, and sits on top of a site-cast concrete base. Previous Work The teams of the Spring 2014 Zed-H studio each selected a building and site developed by previous teams during Fall 2013. Site strategy and layout and main construction type (cross-laminated timber) were all previously developed and extended during the spring semester. New Work Teams were expected to detail and analyze a facade strategy for energy performance and create schemes for the interior layout of one of the units. “Facade consultants” – students in the advanced High-Performance Building program and allied class on thermal modeling – assisted design studio students in detailing and analyzing performance with THERM and WUFI. Public Areas The building provides multiple levels of leasable office spaces, courtyard, and retail spaces that create street-level activity to serve both residents and the surrounding community (section-elevation shown on portfolio cover). Interior Unit The live-work unit designed during this studio uses a ‘pre-packaged’ interior core to divide space into a bedroom, office, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as providing an internal storage area. The arrangement of the core and solar orientation of the unit are exploited to decrease dependence on electric lighting. Triple-glazed units with low-e coatings are used to reduce heat-gain and size of mechanical components.

«Midtown Atlanta Charter High School for the Performing Arts» SUMMARY
Georgia Institute of Technology Options 2 Portman Prize Competition Studio – Spring 2013 Individual Project The project explores a compact 60,000 sf plan for a school 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’s Midtown neighborhood. The double-skin facade screens excess heat and light, obscures internal building logic, and invites passers-by to explore the open-air workshop, performance, and gallery spaces. The site is divided into three main elements: gym, school, and reflecting pool. The gym and school portions cover the parking, drop-off, and service entrances and create an outdoor terrace for before and after school gathering and exterior workshop. The gym roof covers a portion of the outdoor space, separates it from the public sidewalk of Peachtree St, and supports an additional gym/performance space above it. The cladding is a double-glazed system with internal perforated panels for shading, and expresses different areas of light, shadow, privacy and openness. Vertical fins in either aluminum or framed glass extend down from the main volume of the building and create a screen that obscures the building structure and frames interactive spaces. A similar screen wall extends above the main gym roof to enclose the activity area above for privacy.

«St Marys» SUMMARY
Georgia Institute of Technology Design+Research Studio 1 – Fall 2013 Team Project: Daniel V Alhadeff, Justin Wallace, Johnny Aguilar The studio, sponsored by the Georgia Conservancy (Blueprints program) and co-taught by stormwater specialist Tom Debo and urban design professor Richard Dagenhart, sought to develop and publish strategies for several coastal Georgia communities to adapt to project sea level rise. Large-scale urban schemes were advanced that tried to communicate to local officials and residents a data-driven design approach to climate change adaptation. Based on a layered, GIS-based analysis of different natural and man-made criteria, our plans proposed a gradual retreat from the historic downtown that is projected to be completely inundated under 6 ft of sea-level rise. The proposed retreat location is towards a location just northeast atop an ancient barrier island with superior soils and relatively higher elevations. An existing submarine base on higher group, one the primary economic drivers of today’s St Marys, would be expected to remain. Stormwater best-management practices (BMPs) such as swales and detention ponds integrated into new street sections would help treat runoff and protect fragile marsh ecologies. Restoring an historic trolley line and creating more compact blocks will help St Marys and neighboring Kingsland, GA accommodate future growth.

«CRB - Washington Metro» SUMMARY
December 2014–February 2015 The Washington Metro’s underground stations feature distinctive coffered vaults that celebrate raw concrete and dramatic lighting. The drawing both re-imagines an office as a Metro station, or a Metro station as an office. The original drawing is on a 30”x22” sheet of Arches 140# hot-press watercolor paper. A variety of sketching pencils, all from the Faber-Castell 9000 series (4B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H), have been used to express a full-range of black and white hue.

«Ma vie à Atlanta par Vélo My life in Atlanta by bicycle» SUMMARY
GIS Day Map Competition, October 2013 Mapmaking is a vivid way to share stories in time and space. This map tells the story of traveling between the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in the style of a Colonial French hunting map. Route and elevation information from GPS was combined in a Geographic Information System (GIS) with background layers (roads, topography, and building footprints). Parts of the map further away from the main path were obscured to indicate diminishing knowledge and familiarity (“there be dragons there…”). Hand-drawn labels and title were added to further enhance the effect.

«Riley’s Lock And Lockhouse» SUMMARY
December 2017–March 2018 The primary subject of the drawing is Riley’s lock and the Seneca Creek aqueduct on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. I’ve been a fan of the C&O towpath trail since I moving here, and have ridden or run most of its 184.5 miles. In the background there is a medieval windmill from the Island of Rhodes, where my great grandparents are from. The text and ladder come from a popular Judeo-Spanish wedding folk song, “Escalerica de Oro”. The original drawing is on a 30”x22” sheet of Arches 140# hot-press watercolor paper. A variety of sketching pencils, all from the Faber-Castell 9000 series (4B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H), have been used to express a full-range of black and white hue. The “Raw Umber” Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencil was used for the ladder; a brush-pen was used for the text.
DRAWING ELEMENTS
Riley’s Lock and Lockhouse, Seneca Creek Aqueduct, canal boat This aqueduct is not watered - and is basically in ruin. I've illustrated it whole, with a boat traveling downstream towards the lock. Part of the aqueduct is cut-away in section to show the boat and the inside of the lock gate. Detailed drawings of the lock, aqueduct, and lockhouse available from the Library of Congress through the Historic American Building Survey were used to establish scale and render details. The canal boat drawn is actually a somewhat rare passenger boat, but the designs for all C&O boats appeared consistent from a brief survey on Google. The lockhouse was rendered based on photos taken on-site. The area around Seneca Creek features red sandstone (similar to that used when building the Smithsonian Castle) and the use of a sepia/umber toned pencil for the aqueduct stone to celebrate this was investigated. After several small/medium-scale tests, however, it was decided to keep almost the entire drawing black and white. The ladder is rendered in raw umber colored pencil and leads from the bottom of the lock to the lockhouse. Several of these ladders – built into the upstream lock gates – appear at various locations throughout the canal. Windmill The windmill depicted references the type of windmill built on the Island of Rhodes. A measured survey was used to establish dimensions and clarify materials and construction. Text The opening line from “Scalerica” (“A little ladder of gold and ivory - the bride ascends and says the marriage blessings”) is written in the Solitreo script used by Ladino-speaking Jews in Spain, Ottoman Empire, and the Island of Rhodes.

«Section Sketch Studies» Ongoing I primarily work in graphite, and keep a small 7x7 sketchbook, where I regularly draw and render conceptual building sections. I find that daily visual practice and observation lead to better and more fulfilling design projects. I strive to find pattern, light, and vertical spatial organization in each project I do.
