BARCZAK HOUSE DESIGN The assignment was to interview a client and design their dream home. The site was selected, and the home was orientated with regard to solar considerations. The house was designed, interior specifications done, and special attention was given to the ADA kitchen, the master bedroom and bathroom. Plans were hand rendered and drawn in AutoCAD. Design boards show the overall house finishes, furniture and the master bedroom selections. The bathroom elevations display ceiling and window styles reminiscent of the homes done by architect Robert Venturi. The scene of the master bedroom is hand rendered in pen.

BROOKLYN-CURTIS BAY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR Research was performed on the two commercial corridors - Hanover Street and E. Patapsco Avenue. The streets were divided into sections and assigned to teams of three students each. My team focused on East Patapsco Avenue between 4th Street and 6th Street. The section is a well defined community business and residential area. It is heavily trafficked by both pedestrians and motorists. It lacks pedestrian friendly elements such as benches, street trees and lighting. It has a variety of different kinds of architectural materials from brick and form stone to vinyl and stucco. The buildings are roughly half residential dwellings and half commercial. The existing issues were researched graphically by surveying the site, creating diagrams of everything and by sketching every existing structure along both sides of the block. Design goals were established, and after researching, design guidelines were written for the site. Using the guidelines new facades and streetscapes were sketched that introduced the elements desired to enrich the human experience. The final phase of the project was to use the design guidelines to infill the empty lots in the area with building types needed by the community. The new buildings keep with the architectural styles of the adjacent structures. The elements mentioned in the design guidelines were added: pedestrian lighting, hanging baskets, street trees, window sizes appropriate to the area, outdoor seating, public art, planter boxes and street furniture. Hand sketching, hand rendering, photoshop, power point, word and publisher were used during the project.

CASE STUDY - Casa del Fascio The building is located in Como, Italy, and it was designed by architect Giuseppe Terragni. Commissioned for the Fascist party, it was constructed from 1932 to 1936. It was completed under the regime of Benito Mussolini to function as a home for their militia. The building represents the party’s ideas about transparency in government. The entrance and other areas are pulled back or have double walls which break up the form and add to the building’s sense of transparency. The lines of the facades maintain the human scale and strong horizontal movements. The building is four stories high with an atrium space in the middle. The atrium is enclosed over the first two floors, but it is open to the air on the second two levels. Plans were drawn and two models were hand cut and built.

FEDERAL HILL TOWNHALL Federal Hill needs a townhall that can be the identity for a diverse area. The design calls for public representative offices, a conference area, townhall director and staff offices, a voting hall, a meeting theatre and storage. The design takes its material choices from the history of Federal Hill by using timbering reministent of old ships. The wavy roof gives the building a unique identity and collects water for stormwater management and recycling. The main voting hall is flooded with natural light and allows for multiple uses.

HIGH DENSITY MIXED USE The site address is 1950 & 1951 E. Fayette St., Baltimore, MD. The site was divided into three areas of different density, and three students each chose one of the densities to work with. I chose the high density area shown here. The high density site became the northern most parcel with 2.34 acres of land. An analysis of the property and the building codes was performed. The high density objective was to provide 400 units of housing in one, two, and three bedroom apartments, and it was required to provide 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. The final design has commercial space on the first two levels and 408 units of residential on the 3rd through 16th levels. Major consideration was given to circulation and outdoor accessible spaces. The precedent used was Arquitectonica. There are many green features including rain water collection, water retention systems, solar panels, shade screens, photovoltaic panels, recycled materials, green roofs and native plants. Programs used include Revit, Sketch Up, Photoshop, Powerpoint and Word.

CROSS STREET MARKET The Cross Street Market in Federal Hill was established in 1846. The current building is from 1951, and it was intended to be a temporary structure. The redesign should make the north and south sides of the market more pedestrian friendly, introduce light into the market, allow for a meeting spot and be more memorable. The program for the project is large with 43,000 sf of retail space, including the 31,000 sf of already existing space, 20,000 sf of community workspace, and 50,000 sf of education and workshop units. The final design uses recognizable geometry to break up the program and bring light into the different spaces. The buildings themselves become the signs and symbols for the market. The pyramid becomes the central meeting point for visitors, and it brings light down into the food court below it. The two towers have supergraphics promoting the market. All drawings were done by hand.

BALTIMORE ROW HOUSE The assignment was to design a row house for a given couple on an empty lot in the Butcher Hill area of Baltimore. Zoning and building codes, site analysis and material data were all collected. The back of the lot faces south and the idea of solar windows was researched. The clients wanted to maximize natural light in their inner city row house, and from precedents, the idea of a circulation light well developed. The light well seperates the spaces into different volumes and zones. It can be used as a thermal mass and for ventilation. Programs used include Revit, Sketch Up, Photoshop, Powerpoint and Word.

STADIUM PLACE URBAN DESIGN The three phased project began with studying Stadium Place, Baltimore, MD. Using the site of the old stadium, which is now partly filled with assistant living apartments, three scales of figure grounds from low to moderately high where created. Then for the second phase, three case studies were created documenting the patterns of residential and commercial types in Baltimore. The final phase proposes what could be built at the Stadium Place site. A final figure ground, a parking plan, section key plan and five sections are created explaining the layout. The sections are cut both north-south and east-west, and they show the topography, parking and residential over commercial along 33rd Street. Photoshop, Illustator, AutoCad, Google Earth, and hand drawing were used for the project.

BALTIMORE FLOW Baltimore has many historically significant sites and attractions. It has areas of interest or nodes connected by a path or flow. The flow is strong in parts and less distinct in other parts. The objective was to distinguish all the important nodes and to propose design elements that will positively impact the environment. Maps were created using the techniques of Kevin Lynch and the nodes were analyzed. Ideas to improve the flow was found by studying precedents. They were digitally imposed to analyze their impact. Site visits, photos, maps and sketches were done to analyze and evaluate the existing conditions. A book was created of the research and proposals.. The hand drawn sketches help give focus to the different nodes along the path. The maps were hand drawn and made in photoshop. Many precedents were located, studied and adapted into the flow using photoshop to display their effectiveness. Thought was given throughout about ways to stengthen the flow in keeping with the character of the different disrticts researched. The impact of each change and its affect on the individual parts of the path was looked at. The book was put together in Indesign.

PLACE & HOMELESSNESS RESEARCH I worked as a research assistant for the School of Architecture and Planning on the 2011 Biennial census report on Baltimore’s homeless population. Counts were done on Janurary 25th to determine the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals in the city. After those counts, teams went out to further investigate the urban spaces where homeless were seen. The study included the often neglected spatial factors involved in homelessness. It highlighted some of the conflicts between the homeless and the desire to control public spaces. Local governements make regulations that often cause futher hardships for the homeless. The issues of urban spaces and homeless visibility must be appreciated by policy makers to solve the problem of homelessness. The sites where homeless were seen were mapped and photographed. Any trace evidences of homeless being in the area were noted and photographed. Photographs were taken to record how exposed the sites were to the weather and pedestrians. Notes were taken on any possible sources of heat from heating vents, retaining walls, or lights. It addressed the environmental components of physical space and how the need for controlling personal territory can help someone achieve psychological wellbeing. Some of the sites were very exposed to the elements and others were well hidden for an urban location. The photographs show how exposed the homeless areas are to the elements and the city. 18

HARRIET TUBMAN BYWAY MASTER PLAN I worked for the School of Architecture and Planning on the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway (HTURB) Master Plan. The general purpose of the report was to provide Caroline County with an integrated heritage tourism approach to guide its protection, enhancement and promotion of the Poplar Neck region as a high-quality, world-class destination for Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad-related experiences. The team for the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Preston/Poplar Neck project consisted of a cross-disciplinary group of architects, landscape architects, community planners and historic preservationists. We established values and five case studies in the area. Each of the case studies included master plans and recommendations to depict visitor experiences for optimal interpretive, recreational and economic impacts. During many site visits to the area, Witness trees were identified to act as symbolic interpreters of the Tubman history. The trees could be white washed to act as both signs and stories for visitors. These trees also act as way points along the walking routes. Different ways of experiencing the history was selected for each of the different case studies, from water taxi tours to night walks retracing the path to freedom.

COLLEGE PARK AIRPORT MASTER PLAN & OBSERVATION TOWER The focus for the new College Park Airport Master Plan is inspired by the innovation and drive behind flight design. There are three main components: a learning laboratory, with an academic connection to the University of Maryland College Park and a focus upon sustainability; a 4D I-MAX experience; and an indoor sky diving area. In both the educational and recreational buildings there will be a balance between the technological and the natural. The learning laboratory will include student housing and a stormwater management experimentation zone. Visitor experience of what it feels like to fly and be in nature is a priority. The Tower has a funicular movement through space design. The Operations Building has gallery corridors with views into the hangar and a terrace with views to the runway.

GUGGENHIEM HELSINKI MUSEUM In reference to Finland’s culture and the desire for openness, the design has sweeping views of the city, park and the harbor to allow experiencing the weather and changing seasonal conditions. It is about having a sense of place while in the museum. The design has internally focused art galleries and open ones where the art is seen in relation to the harbor and city. The main entrance directs visitors to the view of the harbor and has an iceberg sculptural skylight structure coming down into and over the lobby. The flexible circulation art galleries open to the views of the park and harbor with internal galleries in the center. The galleries stack with the upper level having skylights offering indirect natural light. The circulation allows for double height balcony spaces around the gallery. Sustainability is a critical part of the concept with materials sourced locally from within Finland. Just one example, the Aurora Granite facade material comes from a local quarry. The sunlight is controlled with vertical wooden fins along the gallery corridors and with double curtain wall treatments on the iceberg feature. The wooden fins are tucked into the building to protect them from the elements. The building uses geothermal and biomass energy for climate control to keep it at the 50% humidity and 72 degrees Fahrenheit recommended for art museums. The site has permeable paving finishes, bio swales, native plantings, recycled materials and furniture to encourage social interactions. There is LED lighting for the long winter nights and covered bicycle parking for visitors and employees of the museum. The upper level garden terrace uses native plants as does the green roof which captures rain water for reuse in the graywater system.

I-LIBRARY THESIS PROJECT
Final Design How can public libraries enhance and support the self-directed learning process for students using mobile technologies? The project is about reinventing the library to promote mobile based learning and social collaborations. The library needs to be: inviting, energetic, relaxing, com¬forting, inspiring, a machine for creating, a warehouse for knowledge, a bridge between the physical and the virtual modes of our existence, and economically sustainable. The technology labs promote group participation between the tech savvy and the tech challenged. The building has sustainable features including a double skin e-coated curtain wall with interior shades, living green walls, storm water collection on the roof, and silk screened skylights to optimize day lighting. In the median is the library

vending kiosk for 24 hour service, and it has a large green roof for users hang out under and work. The main atrium is a great meeting point for the groups of visitors the library will have. The event room can expand into the atrium space for larger parties. There is plenty of work space for groups or individuals throughout the levels especially the top floor reading room. There are many economic revenue amenity possibilities including the E-cafe, rentable lecture room, classroom, Theatre, outdoor terraces, and play zone. The green tube is a symbol inside the library of all that can be discovered both virtually and in the physical library. The mission is “go green at the library”, and the features showcase technological possibilities making a memorable neighborhood landmark.
