PENN MARKET SQUARE in collaboration with MOISES VILLANUEVA FALL 2020 - professor NANCY CLARK 32nd - 33rd street & 6th - 7th avenue, MANHATTAN *some abbreviated and modified text from “OWNERSHIP & IDENTITY OF SPACE” by EDUARDO VILLAMOR
In the case of Midtown Manhattan near Chelsea and Hudson yards, a number of contextual considerations are required to create a productive and hospitable civic space: zoning and demographic data, scales of existing and timeline of completion of nearby projects, the precedent of nearby POPs, and the relationship between street and subway levels. The essence of the proposed Penn Market Square was to properly compose a civic program to intersect with a private (residential) component and existing site conditions. The largest examined scale for this site is the strip of Manhattan cutting from the entire width of the island from the Hudson to the East River, bounded by 36th street to the North and 27th street to the South. The
current zoning reveals a domination of commercial and manufacturing activity over residential allotment. As it stands, only about 25% of this area is zoned for residents. While this distribution is not the only reason for a lack of community distinctiveness, it is a driving factor. To instill an effective and pragmatic public space apart from a state of commercial activity, Penn Market Square introduces a residential program. A programmatic study of the strip indicates inadequate food resources, yet a variety of transportation methods. To best utilize the potential of Penn Market Square, consider the possibility (and evident responsbility) to provide a necessary food resource while employing the apparently ample transportation resources.

It would be unwise to anticipate architectural intention to absolutely define actual use in any project, particularly those in an urban setting. Michel de Certeau contrasts the Cartographer and the Walker. The designer, in this instance, corresponds to the Cartographer as someone who works “from above.” The Walker, however, is immersed into the urban environment, making before they necessarily think. The number of human factors in these cases are dynamic, plentiful, and unpredictable. This is not an excuse for inadequate or imprecise design but a charge for considered design that manages both precision and a degree of flexibility. As midtown Manhattan changes, it is appropriate for its spaces to adapt.
Lebbeus Woods discusses the role of architecture to mediate between art and life: “[they] flow together, inseparable.” Architecture is concerned with both “dynamic structures” and “social structures.” This sentiment is especially evident in shared urban spaces. Architecture can sometimes be evaluated similarly to visual effects: they are best when they go unnoticed. Is it the responsibility of architecture to absolutely frame the human experience, even in the built environment? An important component of Penn Market Square is the notion of allowing its inhabitants to create personal traveled paths. Walking paths are indications of people’s unique relationship with a space, and therefore symptomatic of taking a personal stake in those spaces.

All architecture has the capacity and responsibility to be simultaneously reactionary and proactive, particularly in those instances open to the collective. It is as essential to remedy as it is to refine. The addition of a permanent residential community was introduced to instill an identity apart from strict commerce; the scarcity of food resources indicated a need for a reliable and sustainable food source; the proximity and overall importance of Penn Station suggested it was most appropriate for the program to integrate with the Station on multiple levels. Achieving a resolute porosity was a powerful strategy and language for the horizontal component of Penn Market Square. It is laterally and vertically porous. This combination permitted pedestrians on the street
to enter the spatial domain of the project. Vertical apertures to the subway level encouraged multi-directional interaction with the market, street, subway. The street level is almost completely unenclosed except for circulation to the massing above, holding hydroponics harvesting and research, and portable, moveable vendors. These vendors are a reflection and manifestation of the movement and activity of the site near Penn Station. As people move and as needs arise, these vendors are oriented in various schemes. They are a testament to the notion of flexibility over stubbornness.

It was essential to create a number of relationships to existing resources as a strategy to ensure maximum utility from Penn Market Square. These relationships were spatial and programmatic. For example, an axis was formed from the Square in the east to Penn 2 to MSG to, eventually, Moynihan Station in the West. This spatial axis emphasizes the importance and integration of existing transportation resources. It also creates a steady supply of users to the program of Penn Market Square.

The Square simply harnessed a programmatic vacuum or missed opportunity in this radius: food resources and residential identity. Tectonic decisions were to promote inclusivity at the pedestrian scale: a porous street level, largely translucent cladding, and convenience to the subway level necessities below.

The assembly and language of the Tower component reflects the intention of inclusivity of its interior spaces and the Market levels below. A layered, transparent cladding reveals its frame and, by extension, its logic of assembly. Breaks in the cladding indicate terraces of intersection where many of the residential amenities are permitted to look out to the aforementioned axis, to the occupied roof, and to the entering passersby on the street level below. Its central position to residences gear it to congregation by said residents. There is also the prospect of a degree of iconography with the apertures: Penn Market Square may come to be known by nicknames. to main structure fasteners cladding frame cladding

LEVERAGE CENTER SPRING 2020 - professor MICHAEL MONTOYA BAY & JULIA, DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE
The notion of rule and exception were instrumental in the formal inception and societal intentions of this project: a mental health and community center in Jacksonville, Florida. A seam through a mass, considered through a material study and later translated into building form, has the opportunity to facilitate social intersection between the traditionally expected patrons and the homeless - another manifestation of rule and exception. The challenge was to charge the program to encourage a conversation. The relationship between formal and informal education incited this charge, but specifically with the assumption that one did not hold any more value than the other. Suspended above the atrium seam is an au-
ditorium space for the use of TED talks for their propensity to introduce topics conducive of a later dialogue (an essential informal education opportunity) and for the accessibility by free attendance. A procession beginning from the Skyway station along the South side of the site, of which homeless people are frequent users, to the open atrium at the base of the project (from where conversations can start or be overheard), then through a series of sitting stairs, leads to the apex of the program: the TED talk auditorium.

Following the TED talk, participants are encouraged to process downwards and hold conversation simultaneously. A specific relationship is drawn between the formal education space (the auditorium) and secondary discussion spaces (the atrium and three distinct sitting stairs). Considering the relationship between homelessness and mental health, corresponding mental health offices are also on the ground floor. In a discourse of these sentiments, each stakeholder should stand on equal ground with the leverage of a unique and personal perspective of the issues that affect them. A particularly insightful TED talk may be given by a homeless person. To create this opportunity, the gesture from the atrium folds into the building mass, broken only by the balcony

The Leverage Center is a practice in harnessing spatial relationships to transform and enhance social ones. As mentioned, a material study suggested the use of a “seam,” as both an organizer and social intersection. Apertures across the Center invoke the language of “folding” from the street to the interior planes of the atrium.

SUBVERSIVE SHELTER FALL 2019 - professor BRADLEY WALTERS LONGLEAF FLATWOODS RESERVE
A study of Longleaf Flatbush Reserve’s spatial sequences and characteristics revealed a dichotomy of nature’s sanctity and malleability. Trail making and controlled burning demonstrate the human capacity to manipulate nature to create conditions for direct interaction and appreciation. The Subversive Shelter facilitates this contrast through threshold, expansion, transformation and discovery. Residing at the split of the trail, two passive education centers encourage visitors to understand their surrounding nature in framed and rationalized enclosures, including an underground meditative space. An unrealized relationship between the ground and below ground systems is amplified by spatial experiences occuring directly below the
normally experienced. Light tunnels mediate between the sky and underground - an often overlooked relationship. The ritual of descending from a mostly flat landscape is distinct; it draws attention to itself. The spatial sequence and tectonic logic of the interventions were largely reactionary in context of the reserve. A layering of vegetation and other ground level conditions architecturally represented by expanding spaces that build over the top of each other. The space dilates by progressively ascending ceilings and descending floor planes.
SUBVERSIVE SHELTER FALL 2019 ACADEMIC The relationship between the two interventions simultaneously frame the path and invite visitors from the clearing in the trail.

The notion of Subversion is also indicated in the tectonic language of the heavy interventions shyly hovering over the ground. This detail indicates a degree of lightness to otherwise bulky constructs. It is symptomatic of the appropriately delicate approach when constructing on fragile and ecologically significant sites: an architectural tip-toe. Light is a primary condition and tool in the Subversive tactics of these shelters. As travelers exit the natural canopy of the trail into a clearing, they are most immediately met by sunlight (or precipitation). The shelters provide a most basic human want: shade. As they enter into the underground spaces, surrounded by darkness except by sunlight from the light tunnels, their appraisal of radiant light is reversed.

Contrast of appraisal of light. This section examines the tectonic nature of the above-ground portion of the intervention and the stereotomy of its buried half.
Subversive Shelter intends to analyze the human appraisal of light: Travelers start the trail in shade, eventually coming to the clearing in the blazing sun. They seek cover, finding the two constructs. Now sheltered from heat, they appreciate the light of the sun. They explore the space as they do the preserve, descending to the dark. Now blinded, they yearn for light; the grass is always greener elsewhere as light is most valued when it is absent. They reach the light tunnels and pause as if they escaped the desert into an oasis, or the trees into a clearing. The sun now means different. I dreamt I was on the moon and what I missed most was the rain.

LOOPS & GRAINS in collaboration with JARED COOK and SAFIA BOUSTIQUE SPRING 2021 - professor MARTIN GOLD with RYAN SHARSTON EAST GAINESVILLE
Loops and Grains, in the most formal sense, is a method of organization for this sprawling, complex, and diverse community. Grains, specifically, is an homage to the amount of land allotted to agriculture and the overall sentiment of sustainability in this site, but also “figure” to the “ground” of the Loops. This site in East Gainesville has a few resources in surplus: religious institutions, grade schools, and sheer land volume. Infrastructure on the site is non-existent; sustainable and healthy food resources are not in close proximity. The majority of the people here live in “commuter” neighborhoods and often don’t hold jobs that directly service that side of Gainesville.
Loops and Grains aims to address these shortcomings in a sustainable community marked by intuitive infrastructure, job opportunities, and implemented biophilic elements. It also examines the notion of the ecology of the street. Loops, in this sense, are simultaneously an organizational tool and a strategy to activate the space of streets beyond transportation. To a child in the Philippines, streets were a bustling maze. They were places of their own hierarchical organization: ill-defined driving lanes, vendors, the sliver between the vendors and homes, the drainage canals, the space in front of homes too modest to be called porches.

This density and activity was in severe (but expected) contrast to my later experience in the suburbs of Florida. From the perspective of a child, the streets transformed from a space to explore to a space to invent. Shaping our street was less akin to painting on a blank canvas, but more like covering a tattoo with a new ink. It was largely up to children to determine the purpose of this domain. Our aim was to charge the Loops with the same activity in urban streets and the energetic flexibility and youthful attitude that we had of neighborhood streets. The basis for these strategies was the concept of assembly: of humans,
of parts, and of activities. Modular construction of living units, for example, would be uniform in language, and of similar scales depending on the needs of tenants. All units would have similar access to commodities, including a gym, stores, essential services, and more. The ecology of the streets refers not just to those that host cars, but those that weave between units and built space. The essential provision of these structures were not just living, but definition and safety for central paved passes. The passes introduce a middle scale to the system of the street: the largest being on the scale of the neighborhood, and the smallest being the gardens or porches leading to a unit’s entrance. The paved pass is essentially a unifying ribbon.

Assembly is the root of Loops and Grains - it happens at several scales with different sentiments. It is the eventual aggregate of this notion put into practice that allows this community to be self-sustaining, healthy, and aspirational.

OAKLAND CULTURAL BIOME NOMAS Competition Team; TEAM LEADER & CHAIR 2020 73rd avenue, OAKLAND
Oakland’s Cultural Biome fosters community ties and celebrates East Oakland heritage. Through integration of necessary food resources, honoring an extensive and diverse local culture, and sustainable measures, The Biome is a device for social discourse and growth. The Biome is understood as a natural ecosystem. Where an ecosystem can be divided into biotic and abiotic factors, so too does this architecture equally consider the people & culture as it does the structure & space. The primary spatial driver in this project is the Pearl, as it simultaneously attracts visitors and creates space for gathering and dialogue. The building form was guided by the local art of Turf Dancing, as we were inspired by the dynamic forms and vibrant history of this improvi-
sational and expressive dance form. The form, detailing, and translucent quality of the building evoke a sense of transparency from the exterior and safety & inclusion within. The Pearl and occupiable roofs combat exclusivity by their functions as privately owned public spaces. Their adjacencies to all major massing components specifically gears them for intersection between different groups: residents, patrons, and other visitors. The apparent food desert drove the Biome to provide a necessary resource in the form of a food kitchen. Subsequently, visitors would interact with the architecture and the cultural celebration in the rear portion of the Pearl.

The Pearl is powerful in its potential flexibility: it may be a place of rest, of discourse, of performance, or of assembly. Its form is in contrast with the rest of the project, though a language of carving softens the disparity between the Pearl and residential tower . The remaining masses serve more pragmatic purposes of residence, commerce, and retail. The perforated, panelized screen functions as a complement to the gesture of the Pearl, shading for residents, and a solar collection apparatus. The Biome is a mixed-use cultural center that addresses food security, celebrates a rich history, and provides spaces of intersection and discourse. It is simultaneously respectful of the past and forward looking.

BROOKLYN BLOCK NOMAS Competition Team; ACTIVE MEMBER 2019 NOSTRAND avenue, BROOKLYN
The Brooklyn Block is an amalgamation of the extensive history of Flatbush that addresses the need for mixed income housing. Mixed use development created the possibility of a direct and important relationship between residents and the community as a whole. The tie between art and community in Flatbush is a vital generator to the design of the Block. The foremost instances of this artistic influence occurs in the publicly accessible and ever-changing art walls, encouraging community interaction between the residents and the surrounding neighborhood. This influence continues in the gallery and studio spaces for the outside community to come together and celebrate a shared artistic heritage.
The Block celebrates history and provides sanctuary. Through a degree of separation and contrast between public and private spaces, residents gain a sense of ownership of their own space in comparison to the scale of the celebratory public areas. This project is a microcosm of the larger community, providing facilities necessary to mixed income housing. The market space in the atrium is a source of literal nourishment and cultural sustenence. This project harnesses the past as a method to shape the potential of community in Flatbush. These elements provide the framework to shape a mixed use project as a socially proactive center of celebration and progression.

RS&H PROFESSIONAL WORK NATIONAL DESIGN TEAM under PHILIP ROBBIE 2020-2021
My tenure at RS&H was severely affected by the COVID pandemic. I mention this because, as architects, it our responsibility (and within our capabilities) to create humanistic solutions for such events. This obviously does not mean architects developed the cure, but we can aid in improving the world in addressing logistical and even psychological conditions as we entered, endured, and will eventually exit quarantine. Among the issues that most concerned the firm was to find new and hospitable strategies to maintain productivity and client interactions in a time of social distancing. I proposed and implemented a number of these strategies. Our primary tools were initially Mural (essentially a virtual pin-up board), Zoom, and BIM 360. Practices were evidently
more impactful than mere tools, however. With a new world came new concerns and workflows. I was especially involved in modifying design charrettes for airport projects (Melbourne, Reno, and Palm Beach). As with any project, each member of the team had specific and defined roles. Among them were the main presenters, those who created and groomed Mural boards, organized polls and questionnaires in real time, answered client questions as they came. Each subject matter expert had an appropriate time to speak, and summaries were held and recorded for posterity. Perhaps the biggest advantage to these virtual charrettes is that everything could be recorded more thoroughly than before.
