DANIELLE FELICIONE
ABOUT My name is Danielle Felicione, I am a recent B. Arch graduate of Jefferson University (formerly Philadelphia University) with a minor in Historic Preservation. For the past 24 years most of my life has exisited within a 30 mile radius of Philadelphia, Pa. However, my post-graduate life will start with a move to Lynchburg, Virginia. I am so excited to experience what life in a new city has to offer, and look forward to finding the right firm that will inspire me with its work and push me to becoming a better designer. I have always had a passion for architecture and interior design and hope to find a position in which I can exercise my passion for both in a real world environment.

T H I R D Y E A R L I V E W O R K Designing for New York’s 2030 future Partner: Tom Casey
Working as a group of two, my partner and I tackled the task of designing a solution for a desired live work facility and the future of New York City housing. After thorough studiowide research was conducted on the furture demographics, population, industry and economy forseen for NYC”s 2030 future, we concluded that much of the white collar jobs would be leaving the city, and younger freelance workers would be moving to the city in search of a place where they could live and work simulatiously all the while networking with other creative minds. Our solution was to create a module that delivered both the needs of a private room and office that could be opened up to create a more public working enironment. The modular rooms were offset to the perimiter of the building and larger co-working and collaborative spaces were located in the middle of the plan connected by a “street” or threshold that, when desired, creates a seamless transition from public to private work spaces.

In the development of Essex Crossing’s master plan located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side resides Warehouse 26. The master plan includes six sites facing Delancy Street with the central site being our site and the source of orientation. Due to its location and proximity to public transit and major road ways - such as the Williamsburg Bridge, the site begins to be carved to accommodate human interaction and the circulation through the site. The program includes: a market space, brewery, speakeasy, eatery, art gallery, and work and live hubs. The circulation of the site carves the interior void of the Warehouse allowing the program to interact with the interior space. The structural grid that is found in the void of the cavern allows for the buildings to take on a floating condition. The steel diagrid is inverted and found on the interior of the program walls adjacent the cavern to accommodate the open space on the inside of the building. To assure that the viewers experience of the void occurs on the interior of the building, a mesh screen was incorporated to allow a sense of mystery to be experienced from the street. Viewports have been cut out of the mesh which begins to give subtle hints of the interior space and diagrid of Warehouse 26.

F O U R T H Y E A R D I A S P O R A Refugee Center Partner: Jessica Schell
Our building aims to welcome and engage refugees into their new environment by integrating the Minneapolis skyway system into the circulation. Creating an “elevated street� level within the building provides not only connections and accessabilty throughout the cold winter months, but also allows the opportunity for serendipitous encunters with the existing community. By integrating the skyway into the building, as well as shifting in scale, this building aims to bridge the gap between the Warehouse and Business Districts in Minneapolis, while simultaneously linking the refugees to the Minneapolis natives.

F O U R T H Y E A R A X I A L E P I S O D E S Spatial sequencing of Via di Tor di Nona Semester Abroad: Rome, Italy Partner: Sam Horochowski
Tor di Nona is evidence of how the necessary improvements to the urban infrastructure required to modernize Rome at the turn of the century often clashed with the historic layout of the past, leaving gaps, or fractures in the urban landscape, which were soon forgotten and left to deteriorate. Our initial look into the history of the site revealed that it was once very much connected to the Tiber, including one of the few access points to its shores, know as the Porta di Parma. This connection was clearly lost following the construction of the embankments, as it was in almost all parts along the Tiber. Looking at this history, we set out to somehow reconnect the street to the Tiber it once had such a strong relationship with. We soon came to the realization that contemporary development in Rome is much less about restoring past relationships that once existed, but about responding to the current urban context in an effort to solve problems in an elegant and sensitive way. The problem, we concluded, was the lack of activation on site as well as a non-designed relationship to the Lungotevere, or to any of the historic sites to the South. Our project aims to both draw people to the site, as well as activate the street as a whole by utilizing design cues from the surrounding urban context to break the long narrow site into a sequence of spaces, or episodes. The design incorporates a spatial sequencing and rhythm developed in coordination with the existing street faรงades, as well as introducing a new primary axis, connecting the access points at either end of the stretch.

The goal of this proposal is to blend efďŹ ciency and experience to create an environment capable of healing and longevity. It is our belief that design in a healthcare setting could be crafted to create a sense of dignity for the patients, family members, and staff of Kamuzu Central Hospital. Permeability is the state or quality of a material that permits it to allow things to pass through it. By controlling the degree of permeability across multiple planes throughout the site, we can encourage organized program and circulation to mitigate the current levels of congestion. To do so, we have established both membranes -- that control access -- and barriers -- that prevent access -- in our framework plan

CONCEPTUAL RATIONALE In designing a new civic front for the hospital, the goals was also to construct a hierarchy that could start to determine further development for the hospital. The following diagrams illustrate our concept and its relation to the rest of the hospital.

SITE INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Investigations into permeability and membranes required an understanding of existing site conditions and green barriers. The resultant strategy acknowledged existing context and buildings.
Permeability is the state or quality of a material or membrane that permits it to allow things to pass through it. By controlling the degree of permeability across multiple planes throughout the site, we can encourage organized program and circulation to mitigate the current levels of congestion. To do so, we have established both membranes -- that control access -- and barriers -- that prevent access -- in our framework plan. Membranes Current conditions allow pedestrian and vehicular traffic to move freely throughout the site, creating congestion that hinders both efficiency and experience. Establishing a membrane for people to pass through can organize circulation by user group.
Barriers Barriers currently exist only in the form of physical buildings. In addition, we can use green barriers to separate program while maintaining a positive experiential quality and response to the environment.

SITE INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS Analysis of the main campus of the hospital revealed severe defficiencies when it came to pedestrain congestion. The main accedd road was essentially a dead end and green spaces were under-utilized.

F I F T H Y E A R N O V O L I B R A R Y THE 118TH JOHN STEWARDSON MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE 2019 Ex/Libris: A New Prototype Library for Renovo, Pensylvania
While the future of the public library should definitely be evolving with the advantages made in the field of technology, that is not enough. Simply replacing paper pages with digital screens will not magically pump life back into all of the obsolete public libraries that litter our suburbs. I believe that the future of the public library is about the people. My proposal for the new Novo Library aims to demistify the secrets and whispers of the library and to invite the public and all of their conversations into a bright and comfortable space. The ground level of this library is designed with the community in mind: offering a three story open atrium, public cafe, digital library and open lounge room centralized around a large fireplace. The level of intimacy and privacy increases at each level with semi private group study rooms occupying the second floor and private reading and study spaces on the third. The fourth floor offers an archival experience of hardcover and paper pack books as well as access to a roof deck to observe the surrounding mountanous landscape.
