MARITIME CENTER Pier’s Park, in East Boston, featrues a very strong separation from its neighboring industrial area, which created a barrier from the recreational side. The site calls for revitalizing it and creating a hub served for the community and as a ship building center. As my urban strategy my architecture serves as a bridge and becomes a transitional zone for the recreational and industrial programs. The design features recreational spaces that circulate around the main ship building space, in which there are moments of intersection. There is an acoustical separation between many of these spaces until one crosses over, in which they become fully exposed to the ship building core. The Maritime Center caters to East Boston’s water front and the people, creating a space that would bring the two into a unified space.

PLUS/MINUS Plus/Minus lies adjacent to DeFilippo Park, and climbs the tallest of the hills in the North End. This site serves as common area for the surrounding residential buildings, but lacks the characteristics of a successful square. Plus/Minus is rooted in the act of peeling positives to create negatives, the public space interprets the dualistic relationship of form and space through gestures of enclosure and binding circulation. Built mound-like landscape rises to be served as inhabitable spaces as well as activating the streetscape. The raised land-scape creates bordered semi-open space, which serve as performance and public greenery spaces.

THEODORE HEUSS LIBRARY EXTENSION In Berlin, Germany we visited a local library where it lacked activity with its surroundings. Our goal was to create a new addition that would serve as new library space for the citizens of Schoneberg. I pulled forms towards the park and the street to allow strong visual connections and to encourage circulation into the library. The two extensions would serve as public spaces that would allow for more activity along the main circulation paths. These two extensions have a more symbolic gesture as you ascend the library. At the ground floor the two extensions are separate programs that could eventually be accessed within the existing library. As you go to the highest level these two extensions join together to create a new library addition that extends above the existing library. This new addition serves as a new space for the kids and allows for panoramic view towards the park and the street.

BOSTON GOVERNMENT SERVICE CENTER The Boston Government Center, by Paul Rudolph, can be perceived as very impenetrable and a heavy building. This project was the first phase of a semester long project to redevelop the Boston Government Center, proposed to us by DCAM. As a group we were given a master plan, which we were tasked to create a mix-used building that would include; residential housing, office spaces, community spaces, and retail. This would allow for a much higher FAR that it currently has now. The first phase of the redevelopment was to understand the Government Service Center and its complexities. We were to create a threshold which would activate the building, allowing for more activity. We desired to contrast the concrete with a warmer material to emphasize the new entrance. Creating this threshold would allow for more activity but also create a stronger transition zone into the Government Service Center..

NEW ACROPOLIS MUSEUM As a precedent and program study I decided to study the New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece as my topic. The New Acropolis museum accomplishes in creating a phenomenal space to house the ruins from the Acropolis, but simultaneously not overpowering the amazing ruins that already exist. This precedent study was mainly done through Revit which was intended not only for me to learn more about the museum but to get a better understanding of the software. The outcome of this study was to increase my knowledge of the software and to understand the details of the design.

ROCKPORT INSTALLATION Every year in Rockport, MA the citizens hold an event called Illumination Night is held in celebration for Fourth of July. Working in collaboration with Robert Trumbour and other Wentworth students, together we created an installation for the citizens of Rockport to utilize during the fireworks. We were commissioned to create 3 of these pavilions in Rockport for the town to have different vantage points for the firework show. We began by analyzing the site and from that we created a form that merged with the landscape. This temporary pavilion was designed and built in a week, to be showcased on Rockport’s Illumination Night.
