HOW CAN TECTONICS EXPRESS THE PRODUCTION OF TEXTILES? THE WOVEN SHOWROOM

SoHo, NYC / 2012 / CRITIC: ALFONSO PEREZ

The showroom is designed to house textile design and clothing in the middle of So Ho, a world-famous shopping district. Through the methodical analysis of a pattern/ system of patterns, discoveries are made for efficient systems of structure, entry, openings for light, and environmental conditions, as well as responses to programmatic needs. These patterns are reminiscent of the patterns created through the weaving of textiles.

The enclosing structure elevates the pavilion of the ground, leaving a minimal impression on the existing building below. The structure contains the space inside like a box within a box. The skin membrane is then able to operate independently.

The enclosure system is designed to invoke the lightweight, translucent nature of fabric. A steel structure provides support to hold translucent panels, much like a loom is designed to hold a lightweight pattern of thread.

The enclosure membrane is designed with lights that illuminate the translucent panels from the inside, making the pavilion glow during the night. It also illuminates exhibition items.

HOW THIN CAN A STRUCTURE BE? THE ELEVATED DWELLING

CENTRAL FLORIDA / 2010 / CRITIC: STEPHEN BELTON

The landscape of central Florida is characterized by its many springs. Vast forests are carved away by these springs and the rivers they feed. The spring is experienced as a pause in the landscape, a moment of stark horizontality within the vertical nature of the trees. In the heat of a Florida day, the area surrounding the spring is without shade or cover. The qualities of light that are created from the canopy overhead on the journey to the spring are gone once the destination is made. Concept sketches- grid, fold, elevate

THE ELEVATED DWELLING / FLORIDA

The goal of the competition is to challenge students to engage with the space and activity surrounding the University of Florida campus by offering the unique opportunity to design, develop, fabricate, manage and build their design under the supervision of an architect. Our goal is to re-imagine this building as an icon for the city of Gainesville, the University of Florida, and the many students, professionals, and visitors who will use this building. To create an icon that is recognized by residents as well as projected visitors, this proposal imagines the new space as a pavilion for public engagement. By using materials that respect and engage the existing building, while simultaneously creating innovative systems of construction, an interesting and unique architectural juxtaposition is created, which inspires those from near and far to visit the building and enjoy the qualities it creates.

HOW DO YOU CREATE RHYTHM FROM NOTHING? INVESTIGATIONS IN MEASURE AND OCCUPATION PLACELESS / 2010 / CRITIC: LEVENT KARA

Space is defined by the horizon, the meeting of ground and sky. Without the faint glow of the horizon, a view of the desert renders an image of endless and indistinguishable surfaces (scalelessness, convergence of plan, section, perspective). With the aid of the horizon, the ground and sky create the vast and simple spatiality that is the desert. Beneath, above. Any break in the monotonous spatiality of desertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground/sky diagram is harsh and strange, but at the same time welcoming. Any vertical shifts are measured against this extreme condition.

HOW CAN SOCIAL BEHAVIOR SHAPE A BUILDING? THE URBAN LIVING ROOM

GAINESVILLE, FL / 2010 / CRITIC: LISA HUANG

This project explores how to create public space within an urban context. To engage the public on the human scale, a relationship is made between how people gather together in the urban context and at what scales this happens. This relationship is studied in the broader context and then focused to the actualities of site and program. By creating a series of gathering spaces or “pauses” in the urban fabric, people are encouraged to stop and meet with one another. Public space is created as a pause- a counterpoint to the usual fast pace of the downtown experience.

THE URBAN LIVING ROOM / FLORIDA

section/inhabitation studies

After understanding scales of gathering and points of meeting in the downtown setting, a strategy is used to help promote pause and gathering. The urban living room is organized around several lightwells, which use filtered light to promote gathering on the ground floor. Light falls into the main courtyards, which are the largest scale gathering places in the building. Smaller-scale spaces overlap with these courtyards and are arranged to the exterior of the building to promote a human scale from the street. Section studies were done to create this variety of scale.

CAN YOU EXPERIENCE A THEATRE THROUGH WHAT HAPPENS BACKSTAGE? MASK AND SCENE INSTITUTE OF THEATRE

CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA / 2010 / CRITIC: LISA HUANG

The space of the theatre is more complex than the audience can see. Preparation spaces for the performance surround the theatre, and traditional theatres tend to mask these collections of spaces. To enhance the experience of the theatre as a social event, the Institute confronts these relationships of what is hidden from the viewer and what is revealed. By selectively creating a sense of openness to the “behind-the-scenes” part of the production, a connection between the public to the institute can be made.

Urban analysis of the surrounding area of the site helped determine spatial configuration and form.

MASK AND SCENE / SOUTH CAROLINA

plan diagrams of program

If the theatre is about telling a story, then the architecture of a theatre institute must be about the sequencing of spaces to tell this story. This sequencing begins to happen in the theatre itself- there are the spaces above, behind, and below the theatre that are strung together to create the stage itself. If the theatre is to act as a place for public gathering and reception, then the sequencing of the theatre production spaces must relate to the viewing by the audience member. In the Institute, the sequencing of views is defined by the journey from the public exterior through the semi-private studio spaces to the ultimate destination, the theatre itself.

HOW DO YOU CREATE A CONNECTION BETWEEN OLD AND NEW? THE URBAN PLINTH

ROME, ITALY / 2011 / CRITIC: DONNA COHEN COLLABORATORS: DERRICK ARCHER, TRENT MCGUGIN, STACY WITSCHEN The neighborhood of Flaminia in Rome, Italy has recently become a neighborhood for developing new architectures such as the Parca della Musica and the Maxxi Museum. The site, near the new Ponte della Musica, is at a juncture of potential future growth of the city of Rome. This bridge connects the neighborhoods across the river to the historic city. We propose to celebrate this new connection by framing the bridge with new developments that encourage further growth in the area. The residential buildings frame the bridge and create space between and around them for further program to develop.

The site was divided into four zones to be developed by different designers who connected their proposed program with a plinth that extends from street level. The concept of spectacle and reflection has been applied- spectacle resulting from the Flaminia neighborhood as a place of new experiences in Rome, and reflection resulting from the historic significance of the city. Five basic spatial principles are acknowledged, and each zone presents different interpretations of these principles. The plinth contains programs of housing, library, school, pool complex, boat house, and gallery. It is manipulated in different ways related to program- fold, perforate, carve, and assemble.

CAN A TYPICAL CURTAIN WALL CREATE MUSICALITY? ARTICULATED CHROMATICS

PLACELESS / 2012 / CRITIC: ALFONSO PEREZ The translucency and movement of the insect wing alludes to the flickering, intangible qualities of light. The interactions of translucent surfaces create a variety of subtle plays between light, shadow, and color. Reflection and projection of color throughout multiple translucent surfaces create a sense of musicality. This construct is an investigation in creating beauty and musicality of light and surface through tectonic architectural systems.

The installation is made of many elements that depend on each other for systematic construction. They are the Primary diagrid structure, colored panels, light vessel, secondary structure, and light reflectors.

Light enters through the back of the surface, where it is reflected from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wings.â&#x20AC;? This reflection illuminates the entire module with color.

HOW CAN COLUMNS EXPRESS FLUIDITY?

SEMPERIAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAVILION PLACELESS / 2012 / CRITIC: ALFONSO PEREZ

The Semperian anthropological pavilion interprets the 4 elements of architecture by theorist Gottfried Semper into modern elements. They are hearth, earthwork/ground, framework/roof, and enclosing membrane. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pavilion interprets these elements for modern use. In this case, the pavilion is meant to collect and store water. Where the columns meet the roof, a connection is made for the collection of water, as the roof slopes towards the column opening. The water runs through the columns, where it is stored below ground. The columns have a dual purpose of supporting the pavilion structurally and being a transporting element for water. Because of the fluid nature of water versus the steady nature of structure, the curving form of the columns create a sense of visual irony and interest. Below are photographs of the model, which was made using a laser cutter and 3D printer.

B’NAI JESHURUN RENOVATION MITCHELL GIURGOLA ARCHITECTS MANHATTAN / 2013 Mitchell Giurgola Architects have been hired to design a renovation of the B’nai Jeshurun community center. This 6 story historic building includes a Gathering Space Design Development lobby/meeting space on the first floor, a school, and offices for the rabbi and staff. The renderings and plans seen here were made as part of the design | Giurgola Architects effort, and additionally, meant to aid in fund-raising effort for B’nai Jeshurun. The integration of a space meant forMitchell lectures and religious processions, called a Beit Midrash, is located on the 1st floor and was the main focus of the design. The offices on the 5th floor were designed around a truss, COMMUNITY HOUSE which will be exposed. I created these perspectives, elevations, and helped with the plans and presentations. The partner-in-charge is Paul Broches. Team members include myself, Valerie DeLoach, and Natalie Kasper. This project is ongoing.

PRZEWESKI & STELLA LABS, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER MITCHELL GIURGOLA ARCHITECTS MANHATTAN/ 2013 I helped create presentation drawings for the Przewski and Stella Labs at Columbia University Medical Center. These drawings include axonometric analysis that show two different options for plan layout, and the material palette that goes along with each. I helped draw elevations and prepare them for presentation by integrating the proposed material palette. I worked on this project under the supervision of partner-in-charge Jim Braddock, and architect Jill Wendorf. In addition to this lab project, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved in multiple other laboratory renovations for Columbia University Medical Center. This includes a renovation of the William Black Building on 168th St in Manhattan. For this particular project, I was involved from the pre-design phase all the way through construction bulletins. I met with the client and prepared presentation drawings, helped survey the space, and worked on schematic design and the drawing set all the way through the construction documents phase. I worked on details, plans, elevations, sections, and renders for this project under the supervision of partner-in-charge Jim Braddock and architect Sang Lee.

NYU JAY STREET METROTECH MITCHELL GIURGOLA ARCHITECTS BROOKLYN / 2013 Mitchell Giurgola Architects won a competition to renovate New York University’s newly acquired Jay Street Metrotech campus, which is housed in the old MTA headquarters on top of the Jay Street Subway stop. The project is part of the Bloomberg Administration’s initiative to create a “tech triangle” in downtown Brooklyn. I contributed to the pre-design of this project by creating CAD drawings of the existing building from surveys and original drawings of the 1960’s building. I also created program diagrams that analyze how much space the different users will need in their new building. Additionally, I helped with analysis of existing mechanical systems and created diagrams for new systems. I helped with plan proposals and presentations for the client as well.

RAMAPO COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION MITCHELL GIURGOLA ARCHITECTS NEW JERSEY / 2013-14 A renovation and addition to Ramapo College of New Jersey was designed by Mitchell Giurgola Architects, and is currently under construction. For the past few months, I have contributed to the Construction Administration process of this building by working on submittals, sketches, bulletins, sample reviews, and Architectural Supplemental Information, such as new details. All of my work has been under the direction of Carl Gruswitz, an associate at Mitchell Giurgola Architects. While under his supervision, I have learned a lot about the process of construction from the perspective of an architectural office. My work has included review from the architectural perspective of fire alarm and other electrical systems, HVAC systems, piping systems, material samples and specifications, to name a few. I’ve also produced sketches and supplemental information as directed by Carl Gruswitz.

I performed a plan analysis of each building, which included photographing existing conditions, compiling existing plan information, and coding plans by current use and projected use. In addition to that analysis, I came up with material and color identities for each campus, and chose furniture options for the lounge and study spaces within the building. I created presentations that showed the finishes and furniture we suggested by campus and program.
