This prize was established in memory of Michael Pearson, a 1988 graduate of the Drexel Architecture Program.

His life, so full of promise, was tragically cut short in 1989. Prizes are awarded each year to the architecture students who produce the best Thesis Projects, and who, in the course of the Thesis year, show exceptional spirit in pursuing the work. The winner receives a gold medal and a generous stipend for extended travel in the study of architecture. Second and Third Prize winners receive medals. The Pearson Prizes are award at the Final Thesis Reviews by the vote of the faculty.

TRANSFORMAL

Creating a Community/Recycling Center for an Informal Settlement Medéllin, Colombia | Julie Morningstar | Advisor: Natalie Malawey-Ednie

Formerly the “murder capital of the world,” Medellín was recently named “Innovative City of the Year” by Urban Land Institute, Citibank, & Wall Street Journal. The city’s fast transformation has been in large part due to the number of projects completed in the poorest neighborhoods.

However, like many large cities, Medellín is running out of landfill space and has not fully implemented a recycling plan. Learning from the city’s “library parks” and its mission of social urbanism, this recycling center, located in an informal settlement, will include its residents by offering community space as well. Visitors will have a place to learn about the recycling process and their role in it, and the informal waste picker community will be supported and connected here. This recycling/community center typology will be an icon for the neighborhood and set an example for the rest of city.

Medellín – and Latin America as a whole – has an uncanny ability to dislocate typologies.

First cable cars are transplanted from ski resorts to tropical slums, and now the escalator is plucked from its rightful place in airports and department stores to the urban mountainside.

THE INFORMAL RECYCLING SYSTEM 1) Recognise the economic, social, and environmental benefits that result from informal recycling.

- Includes shifting perceptions of government oďŹƒcials and the general public towards informal waste pickers 2) Alternative Systems Approach: Positive Interventions - Support pickers to enter new service roles & niches in separate collection and recycling - Give pickers access to sorting space at transfer stations and landfills - Support better market leverage/diversification of activities - Opening communication with formal stakeholders, decision makers and the planning process -â€?Role of informal sector recycling in waste management in developing countriesâ€? & “Building recycling rates through the informal sectorâ€?

Summary: “In its simplest form the recycling station is a way to start thinking about our cities as integrated man-made ecosystems, where we don’t distinguish between the front and back of house. But rather orchestrate all aspects of daily life, from consumption to recycling, from infrastructureto education, from practical to the playful into a single integrated urban landscape of work and play” -BIG, Arch Daily 20 Feb. 2015

Summary: “The project foregrounds the value of water as an important resource of urban life, celebrating a piece of infrastructure as a civic work of collective pride and beauty – another step in the transformation of Medellín from a troubled city a decade ago into a city with a high quality of life, from a place of neglect to a place of hope.”

-Global Jury, Holcim Foundation

Summary: I choose this project because of its extensive site work and mixed use program. Also, it’s strategy of stacking the program in order to minimize relocation of residents and allowing for open space around. There is both covered and open outdoor public space, as well as improved accessibility and site circulation.

Inspiration: Landscaping/stepping the site, stacking program, ventilation, added housing along the edge of the site, stormwater management Criticism: Use of different materials

BUILDING SYSTEMS 1. natural ventilation chimney combination of stack, solar and wind supported ventilated system 2. hybrid photovoltaic panels electricity during the day IR-Emission of water during the night 3. air conditioner 4. shading protects against solar exposure along the east and west facade 5. slab cooling tempering the concrete structure with embedded hydronic piping 6. hybrid ventilation natural ventilation in should seasons AC operation in humid season 7. cross ventilation wind from south direction provides fresh air, warm winds coming from north direction are blocked by the hill cooling water cycle 8. heat rejection from air conditioner 9. heat sink during the day 10. heat emission during night by lunar collector on roof 11. chilled water to air conditioner

CONCRETE WITH WASTE GLASS AS AGGREGATE

LEVEL 4 CALLE 55G

In the past the fear of ASR (alkali-silica reaction) prevented the use of glass aggregate in concrete. Now to avoid ASR: glass can be grinded down smaller, mineral admixtures can be added to suppress the reaction, glass can be coated to make it alkali-resistant, or the concrete can be sealed afterwards.

Benefits of Using Glass Aggregates: -Zero water absorption, very durable -Adds abrasion resistance to concrete -Aesthetic Potential (using colored glass)

THESIS

GOAL

PROGRAM

SITE

WELCOME! SOCIAL THRESHOLD

FREE AND HANSEATIC CITY OF HAMBURG

EMBRACING (IM)MIGRATION responds to recent trends in global migration by utilizing urban planning and architecture to support the needs of growing dynamic populations and create healthy multicultural communities. The project site is located in Hamburg, Germany along the Elbe River. As the second highest destination for immigrants after the United States, Germany is politically divided over the topic of immigration and refugees. In reality, Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapid decrease in population relies on migrants taking root in their country. I believe that in order for migrants to become invested in a country their cultures must also be embraced within society. Sites which promote acceptance and identity of cultures are the social thresholds that will foster multiculturalism. The architectural design takes the approach that the intersection of cultures creates a place of connections through a site comprised of Transitional Housing, a Migrant Welcome Center, and a Market.

The recent influx of migration is a global occurrence which requires sensitive planning and building to meet the needs of growing dynamic populations and create healthy multicultural communities. Because cities and their countries are increasing more from immigrant populations than from native born populations, demographics are becoming more diverse and neighborhoods are changing as a result of different cultural influences. How should architecture encourage integration and cultural understanding but also retain cultural identity?

Over the past few years Germany’s foreign-born population has rapidly increased, and the country is now the top second destination for immigrants after the United States. In contrast, its overall population has been shrinking. How can migrants start to evolve their identity to their new home in Germany; specifically within the selected city of Hamburg?

Form + Connections: The formal expression of the communal floor and vertical rift bridges connections between the young workers and immigrants and the community. It provides a subtle form of communication and awareness as well as a symbol of connection between the Parisian and Asian communities. The bridging of different cultures will also be essential for Embracing (Im)migration.

Public vs. Private: The Santa Caterina Market incorporates housing for senior citizens at the rear of the site. The form of the housing makes formal and aesthetic connection to the market while also providing a public social space between the two programs.

Gates close off this area during off-hours to provide residents a private space.

Unity: This unique program brings together the three religious groups; Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, into one spiritual center. The goal of the project is to create a “house of dialogue, understanding and peace”. The spiritual center appeals to the multicultural city and encourages religious understanding. Each religious sector is given a separate space within the floor plan that is linked to a communal room in the center of the building.

Thesis Travels

09.23.2014-10.07.2014

My travels started in the culturally rich city of Istanbul, where I spent four days studying the city has a cultural exploration. It was important for me to travel to turkey because its long migration history with Germany has cultivated a predominate culture within Germany.

After Istanbul, I traveled to Hamburg to study the city and three selected sites. After spending three days in hamburg, I took a three day trip to Berlin. While I was in Berlin, I studied larger developed immigrant communities like Kruetzberg and got a feel for the communities, people, and tensions. When I returned to Hamburg, I spent another three days focusing on immigrant neighborhoods.

While I was traveling within Germany, I took notice to how significant the topic of immigrants and refugees is to many living in the country. One can feel the level of passion in the Hamburg districts of Sternschanze and St. Pauli but not within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more public facing neighborhoods. I enjoyed speaking to a few locals who gave me their perspective and ultimately influenced the outcome of my thesis.

ABOVE: Image taken by Author in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg. The sentiment of the graffiti became the passion for the project.

It states: “Eine Stadt zeight ihre wurde im umgang mit neu ankommlingen, Sie fragt nicht: “Woher kommst du? Sie Sagt: “Gut dass du da bist.”

“A city shouldn’t ask its newcomers, “Where do you come from?” It should greet them by saying, “Glad you are here.”

Site Location + Analysis Hamburg, Germany SITE LOCATION

PROXIMITY TO MIGRANT NEIGHBORHOODS

THE FREE AND HANSEATIC CITY OF HAMBURG Area: 291.5 SQ MILES Population: 1.799 Million Foreign Population: 235,669

CONTEXT The selected site is located within the Hafencity District, a new modern neighborhood developed on previous port land. Between Hafencity and Hamburg’s City Center, the Speicherstadt district is the oldest portion of the port and architectural reflects a significant part of Hamburg’s identity and history. The character of the Speicherstadt incorporates neo-gothic, red brick exteriors with patina copper roofs. The structures, which rest on timber-pile foundations, are separated by the port and connected by bridges. See image 1.

The chosen site is included within the Baakenhöft neighborhood of the HafenCity master plan.

The site’s proximity to the master plan’s largest residential community was a strategic placement for developing the site as a community anchor.

CLIMATE Hamburg has an oceanic climate and at 53.6 N Latitude it is fairly wet and windy with minimal temperature differentials throughout the year.

As the selected site was located along the Elbe River, a tidal river, flood protection was provided 8.3m above sea level.

The intersection of cultures creates a place of connections.

SOCIAL THRESHOLD The site serves as a social threshold which bridges the native-born residents, identified by the Hamburg city-center, and the immigrant communities. It is an educational experience whereby culture can be learned and experienced through interaction of program. An enhanced cultural appreciation allows individuals to discover the value of multiculturalism.

PROGRAM The program of the site was an important consideration between supporting and protecting the needs of the migrants, and providing community activation. The design ultimately comprised of Transitional Housing (200,000 SF - 250 Residents), Migrant Welcome Center (125,000 SF), and Market Forum (30,000 SF).

INTERSECTION A strong axial intersection cuts through the site by the use of stepped water features and manipulated water front tiers. The site intersection reminds its users of the relationship of immigrant communities to Hamburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city center; whereas the site is the social threshold between.

CONNECTION Following the site intersection, a perforated copper canopy structure visually connects the Welcome Center to the Market Forum. The roof symbolizes the importance of connection and is visually prominent from within the site.

The copper roof and bridges are abstractions of Hamburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s context to represent a new idea of what makes a Hamburger.

SchoolHouse

An Educational-Residential Co-op and Community Center for Pennsport Architectural Thesis 2014-2015 By: David Golden Advisor: John Defazio Pennsport, located in south Philadelphia, lost its neighborhood elementary school in the 2013 round of Philadelphia school closings. As the building undergoes privatization, its role within the community changes. SchoolHouse seeks to provide a new model of education in Philadelphia, while allowing a privatized building to serve its neighborhood. The project introduces five different residential developments, phased to not displace current residents. Four of the five are market-rate and low-income units, whose children have reserved space in a new k-12 school, located in the adapted Abigail Vare School.

The remaining space in the school is open to the neighborhood. The fifth residential development is reserved for senior citizens, who pay a reduced rate in exchange for volunteering their time at the new Pennsport community center, also located in the adapted Abigail Vare School. The new school and community center share resources with each other, and allow the building to serve the community throughout the year.

Site Pennsport is a predominantly residential neighborhood located in South Philadelphia that is notable for being home to the various Mummers groups.

The Abigail Vare School sits prominently on Dickinson Square, the largest park in Pennsport.

Pennsport Statistics: • 2010 Population: 11,200 • 70% white, 17% black, 8% Asian, 5% Latino • Median Household Income: $45,000 • Homeownership rate: 62% • Population below poverty level: 23.6% • 31.9% without a high school degree • Average age: 35 • Average Household size: 2.4 • About 2,200 k-12 students • Percentage of students K-12 enrolled in private schools: 53.4%

CATALYST Encouraging responsible growth of dense urban cores in rural settings A mixed-used development project designed to catalyze growth.

Waterfont District, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania Dominic Anthony Lacivita, Jr. Bachelor of Architecture, Thesis Project Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design Drexel University / Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Class of 2015 Thesis Advisor: Robert Nalls Thesis The new mixed-use development for the small town of Bellefonte is intended to support dense urban development while protecting local culture and mitigating impending sprawl. This master plan is meant to provide an exemplary option for smart growth of small towns by providing a scheme specific to the town of Bellefonte that explores the potential of developing the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central waterfront district as the core for the future evolution of rural density. By building upon regional institutions, existing tourism, local entrepreneurship, and a goal to retain the younger generation in the area, this plan supports residences, a boutique hotel, and office space, in addition to hosting a series of amenities including retail shopping and restaurants, a small business incubator, and recreational and fitness supported program, all centered around public space, including a meeting center, park spaces, and a continuous waterfront promenade.

Eagle Silk Mill Eagle Textile Company purchased land here to build a mill for the production and cultivation of silk. As a result of difficulties during the Great Depression, the plant closed in 1938. The Titan Metal Company purchased the property in 1939. The company started in the region after it bought the former McCoy Linn Iron Company between Bellefonte and Milesburg. Due to eventual inefficiencies of the the outdated plant, they established a new facitily on the site of the former Valentine Iron Works along the Logan Branch. Business boomed in the late 1920s and they expanded into the Eagle Silk Mill a decade later, which housed their shipping and receiving department. Cerro Copper and Brass Company, which had taken over Titan, purchased additional land adjecent to the former silk mill and expanded it in 1964 and in 1968. The business continues to boom, employing over 1,300 people and in 1976 merges to become the Cerro Marmon Corporation (later to be the Marmon Group and the Marmon Corporation). The Company of the Eagle Silk Mill property in 1997. Bellefonte is still the headquarters of the Cerro division of the Marmon Corporation. The building is currently used for material storage, but much of the property is currently vacant.
