Seekers Cover Interactive Childrens Museum Academic Project | Fall 2021-Spring 2022 | Florida International University Instructor: Alfredo Andia | Students: DhaRheanne Sanders & JoNae Cromartie The idea of cities being designed around a central monument or having an urban core is a very strong concept that is emphasized in the architecture community and taught to us when we look through books on architecture. However in Florida where we grew up the cities are built and designed on a grid rather than around an urban center. An urban center provides a place for people to have the opportunity to come together. Urban centers are usually radial in shape but for this project we didn’t want to just build a literal circle. Instead we tested out various different methods in which we could use circles to create unique forms. Using a circle for this project was important because circles symbolize unity which is a key aspect of urban centers. Seekers Cove is an interactive children’s museum and park located just outside of downtown Fort Pierce. The design of both the museum and the surrounding park is driven behind the idea of childhood joy, exploration, and imagination. We really wanted to create a place that was able to bring back the fond memories we both had as a child when we would take trips to places like Wannado City, JA Biztown, MOSI, and The Florida Aquarium.

ABAY Ethiopia Satellite Preschools Open International Competition | Spring 2021 | Florida International University Students: DhaRheanne Sanders, John Correa, & Kathryn LeBlanc The Hexapod Satellite Preschools are constituted of modular, seismically-resistant, hexagonal pods. These Hexapods are constructed from locally available materials built literally from the surrounding soils primarily utilizing Compressed Earth Block. The Hexapods are passively engineered to heat and cool themselves in the temperate climate of the Ethiopian Highlands. In the face of climate change, water efficiency is maximized to sustain the school in times of drought and famine – sustaining the numerous crops within the vegetable garden. Aside from the small garden plots, the only vegetation on site is native - drastically reducing water consumption and attracting an array of native fauna. The native vegetation also assists in sustaining thermal comfort with as windbreaks against the chilly northern winds during the cool season and as a security measure with thorn In terms of spatial organization, the Hexapods are arranged in a manner that permits uninterrupted views of all courtyard spaces for the safety of the children. The spatial arrangement and orientation of the Hexapods permits maximum radiation the hit the trombe walls heating the spaces. Socially, the arrangement of the Hexapods also functions as an act of play for the students as they wind throughout the project encountering various hidden courtyards as they progress throughout the site. This act of ‘play’ has been actively incorporated in numerous other features throughout the site. The sites ‘play’ is intentioned to introduce recreation and sensorial discovery as a mean of curbing dropout rates. ‘Play’ can be observed in the way the winds move through site, the sounds produced by the surrounding gutter system, the fireplace, the seasonal blooming and fruiting of the multitude of the native vegetation, among many other features.

Port of Miami Cruise Ship Terminal Academic Project | Fall 2021 | Florida International University Instructor: Claudia Busch | Students: DhaRheanne Sanders & JoNae Cromartie The design of the Port of Miami Cruise Ship Terminal was greatly inspired by the idea of making the terminal feel more like a park than a dull concrete port. Many of the areas on the site were empty unused concrete areas in which we converted into open green areas and in some cases parks. There are a total of three different park that surround the cruise ship terminal which allow for individuals to enjoy both the movement of the massive ships at the port and the views of the city of Miami. Our design was also influenced by creating an easy and simple means of accessing the terminal from the main road. We went with the use of a simple transportation loop that includes a car drop off area right at the entry of our terminal. There is also a parking lot just to the right of the transportation loop that allows buses and other means of ride share such as Uber, Lyft and taxi drivers to help with the transportation of people to and from the terminal. Once inside the terminal individuals move through the flow of going through TSA and heading to their designated waiting areas until it is time for them to board the ship. The terminal is designed to feel light and to emphasize the amazing views of the port. Through the use of glass the terminal has a sense of openness which allows you to have a nice view of the outside from almost every part of the terminal. There are also two roof garden terraces that can be accessed from the waiting areas of the terminal. These garden terraces act as an additional waiting areas to allow people to have a much greater experience while they are waiting for boarding to start.

Savanah Infill Housing Academic Project | Spring 2020 | Florida International University Instructor: Giselle Couljil | Students: DhaRheanne Sanders The Savanah Infill Housing project draws most of its inspiration from the local building style found in Savanah. In Savanah there are a lot of buildings that have some form of intricately designed metal iron work on them in at least one or more areas of the buildings ranging from balconies to stair railings. I decided to use that element of iron work in my design of the Savanah Infill Housing to keep the same language of the local context. Since the site is located on the corner of the street, I decided to create a unique cast iron design that mimics the movement of the building itself. I used the metal iron work to act as the enclosure for the main egress stair that sits on the side of the building. The openness created by the iron work of the stair allows for interactions with those who live in the building while also providing a view of the park that is nearby.

Urban Playground Academic Project | Fall 2020 | Florida International University Instructor: Eric Goldemberg | Students: DhaRheanne Sanders & JoNae Cromartie The urban Playground was designed with the sole purpose of transforming Ocean Ct. into an exciting and lively area to attract visitors of South Beach. Ocean Ct. is the alleyway between Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach which are both popular hot spots for Miami Beach during the day and evening. The Urban Playground acts as a series of connected pavilions that host different attractions for those who come to visit the area. The project consists of a walkable mesh, metal pipes and a solid concrete surface. The materials and the shape of the pavilion both weave and move in and out of the alley to represent how people navigate through the existing site. As you move through the project silk dancers twirl and dance to music hanging at various different heights. The color changing lights in the alley guide you through the various parts of the pavilion to make it easier for visitors to navigate and enjoy the pavilion as night begins to fall.

Site Locations: Ocean Ct & 10th St to Ocean Ct & 9th St Miami Beach, FL 33139

Being apart of the FIU NOMAS chapter allowed me to network and get involed with many different amazing organizations and opportunities. I hope to continue being apart of NOMA & further participate in opportunities that aim towads generating a positive impact on the influence of minority students becoming interested in architecture.
