Located behind the Chart House and Boston Marriott Long Wharf Hotel, the new transportation hub catches the eye and invites the commuter with repetitive structural columns. Similar to Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, the columns create a beautiful movement that starts by the Chart House and continues into the water. The user will find ramps, stairs, and slides that make an infinite loop inside the structure. The second floor, dedicated to families with kids, has a slide with a transparent ceiling above and water views to the left. The translucent stairs on the structure's west side are dedicated to resting and sightseeing. Lastly, long ramps on the ground floor connect the Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park and Long Wharf, a popular tourist attraction. Overall, this new structure can be described as a linking pavilion between two popular Boston destinations - Quincy Market and Long Wharf.
Generating a design response to a site analysis using the kit of parts.
Exploring an idea of the continuous promenade.
Testing ideas found in precedent. This exercise elevated the understanding of the precedent and the site itself.
The design precedent is MÉCA Cultural Center by BIG. The core idea of MÉCA is to unite three regional arts agencies and create a visual loop that may encourage circulation within the building.
The main ideas influencing the design are natural circulation, inspired by MÉCA Cultural Center, maximizing the natural sunlight exposure, and prioritizing harbor and city views. The columns catch the eye and invite the user despite the buffers of the Chart House and Boston Marriott Long Wharf Hotel. The infinite natural loop allows a user to walk inside the structure or go through and continue to Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. The pavilion is built as a line perpendicular to the sun's path, simultaneously maximizing light exposure and providing a comfortable shade. Lastly, the observation decks and a pier show the site's most beautiful views.
As a Commercial Real Estate Agent, I assisted with interior and exterior renovations and design. Coordinated projects with Architects, Engineers, General Contractors, and City Halls, ensuring the project meets the client's standards, guidelines, and deadlines. In addition, aerial pictures and 3D scans of the commercial and residential spaces were done as well.
As a Small Business Owner, I manage eight vacation properties and perform renovations and upgrades. I have created an effective design brief for interior, exterior, and landscape improvements. Obtained all required licenses and permits and managed the inspections.
Being a part of the Gateway Office of the BAC and Youthbuild Boston, together with our team, we helped to build a community garden for Roxbury residents.
The first project of the Foundation Studio introduced us to the spacial tension. We learned to design a series of connected and continuous spaces.
All drawings were done by hand, and no software programs were used.
We learned to avoid the stacking of the floors and created spaces that shift from each other.
First introduction to the freehand architectural drawing.
I learned how to draw 3-Dimensional drawings: One Point Perspective, Two Point Perspective, and Plan Oblique.
Different Angles of the Final Model (for comparison to Plan Oblique).
Using the kit of parts to create a retreat house for an artist and learn to use the ordering principles, such as axis, hierarchy, datum, rhythm, symmetry, and transformation. I designed my retreat using architectural assemblies such as a cartesian cross, cube, L- shape, and stick as defying objects.
Section cut through private spaces (freehand).
Section cut through public and semi-private spaces (freehand).
This project taught me how to design series of spaces for two people and create a visual composition between the assemblies.
Design a Park Pavilion adjacent to a mountain. Create a unique mountain surface by combining 3D shapes (hexagons).
All drawings must be done freehand without a ruler.
Define space, volume, and form with basic architectural elements and use principles of design, such as reverberation, adjacency, and hinging.
Free-hand drawing: One Point Perspective, Sections, and Floor Plans.
