The Student Community Center project was a student-based initiative that called for recasting the existing facilities at Lower Sproul Plaza into a revitalized and state-of-the-art facility combining both new construction and adaptive reuse strategies. The project design is rooted in sustainable practices and is expected to achieve LEED Gold certiication. The project encompasses a site area of approximately 184,000 sf and includes a replacement to the existing Eshleman Hall, renovations and additions to the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union, the plaza deck itself, and minor renovations to Cesar Chavez Student Center and Anthony Hall. The proposed scheme called for a series of careful interventions combined with the adaptive reuse of approximately 200,000 sf of existing buildings and approximately 90,000 sf of new construction. The existing 8-story Eshleman

Hall was in poor seismic condition and was replaced with a lower, more porous and transparent 6-story building that has built-in lexibility for the sharing of spaces between various student organizations. The MLK Student Union was transformed on its west and south sides from a solid mass to a series of semi-transparent glass additions housing retail and dining spaces, presenting an active and open public face to Lower Sproul Plaza and the adjacent urban streetscape of Bancroft Way. Project responsibilities involved collaboration with the project team on the architectural design of Eshleman Hall, and assistance with Revit modeling, renderings, client presentations, the 100% Design Development package, and the 50% Construction Documents package.

STUDIOS Architecture 2014 - 2015 Client The Sapir Organization / Sony USA Project Principal David Burns Project Manager David Must

In 2013, Sony USA sold their iconic Midtown headquarters building and leased approximately 300,000 square feet of space in a historic art deco skyscraper overlooking Madison Square Park. In addition to tenant improvement work on the top twelve loors of the building, base building improvements for Sony included the creation of a new dedicated lobby for Sony on a mezzanine level above street-level loading docks, renewal of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elevators and MEP systems, and creation of new windows and a roof terrace at the top of the building. Project responsibilities included construction administration for the base building improvements, review of submittals and RFIs, representing STUDIOS Architecture at client meetings, coordination of consultants, and resolution of discrepencies between the design intent and existing ield conditions discovered during construction.

ST. THOMAS OF VILLANOVA MONASTERY Villanova University, Pennsylvania

Kitchen and Associates 2002 - 2003 Client Trammell Crow Company Project Principal Gene Schiavo Photography Jonathan Liffgens

The Brothers of the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine is a Roman Catholic religious order that founded Villanova University, and still has a monastery located within a historic building in the heart of the campus. The client selected Kitchen & Associates to upgrade living quarters, common areas, and mechanical systems to modern standards. As the two sections of the monastery had differing loor levels, the construction of a new elevator and addition was required to provide wheelchair accessibility for both wings. A new chapel is located on the ground loor of the addition. Project responsibilities included conceptual design of the addition and interior renovations (79,400 sf total) and guiding the design through construction documents. This involved working closely with the client, the monastic community, and various consultants and vendors.

The Cranbrook Wellness Center was a year-long project that involved the design of a spa, wellness facilities, and guest rooms on the campus of the architecturally-renown Cranbrook Educational Community. The project program included pools and spa areas, a yoga studio, lobby and communal kitchen, facilities for overnight guests, and related ancillary spaces. Components of the studio throughout the year included an overnight ield trip to the Cranbrook campus, a critical examination of the historical context of Cranbrook and its structures, research into materials and precedents related to spa facilities, and the design of passive and active environmental strategies and systems. A site was selected north of the Eliel Saarinen-designed Boys School, adjacent to a wooded ravine near the 2001 natatorium designed by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The design solution responds to the site and program by placing the most publicly-accessible functions at the main ground level. The more private spa areas are on the level below, located in a portion of the building that cuts into the hillside. The guest rooms are on a bar that is lifted one story above ground level, allowing views into the forest canopy from the rooms and from the adjacent athletic ield into the ravine. The palette of materials was kept simple, with a strong emphasis on structural honesty and the experience of the facility as a warm, welcome place of relaxation and refuge.

ARRIVAL: NEW YORK PENN STATION New York City

M.Arch. Thesis 2013 - 2014 University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning Thesis Chair Udo Greinacher Research Chair John Hancock

This project was inspired by and is partially based upon the May 2013 Penn Station Design Challenge, in which the Municipal Art Society of New York invited four of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading architecture irms to submit proposals regarding the future of Penn Station and its environs. The subsequent discussion about the future of the station has highlighted a divide between the design community and many transportation advocates. Some celebrity architects see an opportunity for another formalistic architectural icon, while many transit advocates are focused purely on the utilitarian aspects of the station and prefer piecemeal improvements to its capacity. This represents a false choice; both sides ignore the human needs of the travelers and commuters who use the station, and the complex web of meanings and relationships inherent to the site. To address this, research focused on the idea of arrival: what it means to arrive someplace in both the metaphorical sense and the literal sense. Precedents included a number of notable arrival sequences, such as the Wawona

Tunnel entrance to Yosemite Valley and examples from ilm, as well as a critical examination of the current facility, the historic McKim Mead and White structure, and the four proposals submitted to the Municipal Art Society. The design solution focused on the idea of architecture as an experience, rather than as merely an object or a piece of infrastructure. Particular attention focused on the sequence of arrival moments and the spaces they occur in -- the central station concourse and the ascent to street level -- as well as the threshold spaces between them: a sequence of spaces that convey ideas of compression and release. In addition, the memory of the original Penn Station and its related railroad infrastructure were invoked in a number of ways, particularly the colonnades along Seventh and Eighth Avenues, and the long-span trusses that evoke the Pennsylvania Railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hell Gate Bridge and the great railway stations of Europe.
