THE NEXT HUB fourth year | 8 weeks | individual | 13,000 sq. ft. Revit - Enscape - Photoshop The Potomac River flows through Washington D.C. as well as directly between the Tidal Basin and the Pentagon Lagoon Yacht Basin, and underneath the 14th street bridges. These two basins contribute differently to the organization and geography of the city as well as their respective landscapes. The Tidal Basin is centrally located to many of the monuments in D.C. and was planned initially as a beach and swimming area. Today, it is a major gathering point for the city. The Pentagon Lagoon Yacht Basin was originally created so that materials could be brought to the Pentagon building site by barge. Its main purpose today is housing the Columbia Island Marina. The organization of these two basins on either side of the river is applied to the parti, where gathering areas flank a major circulation path. Each of these spaces, having distinct programming, also support specific uses. The larger basin is focused around the community gathering points, such as the maker space, large classrooms and labs. These spaces are grouped together in order to create a social setting. The smaller basin includes the faculty hub, offices and private study areas. All of these spaces are support oriented, thus correlating to the history of the Pentagon Lagoon Yacht Basin. These areas comprise a smaller portion of the building and are grouped with the stairwells and rest rooms. The space running between the basin areas is designed to be both a circulation path and respite area, much like the Potomac. A cafe and technology check-out area support users, and a variety of soft seating allows for groups to meet. The stairs, located just outside the elevators on the 10th floor, emulate the bridge, crossing over the Potomac and linking the basins. Its iridescent color pulls from the modern architectural feature on the actual bridge itself. This helps to make the stairs stand out as a key path and a contrasting experience.

ROANOKE RESEARCH VILLAGE third year | 7 weeks | individual | 27,000 sq. ft. Revit - Enscape - Photoshop Roanoke Virginia has long been a nucleus of innovation and knowledge for the Appalachian region, dating back to the railroad station that once brought information and people alike through the valley. With this history, Roanoke has been cognizant of the way they’ve been growing, as outlined in the community development plan the city re-writes every ten years. A goal of this plan from 2000 to 2020 was to develop village centers, which then was carried into the 2020-2040 plan as well. The village centers in Roanoke would each have a particular neighborhood feeling, micro-community and offering to the greater city, thus bringing people to each village for a specific purpose. This idea translates into the space planning of this building, creating distinguished destinations within the space, for various purposed. Grouped into sectors such as research, making and learning, the zones rely heavily on the generous circulation to ensure the flow of people as well as knowledge. Given that this concept is best translated into space planning, zoning and adjacencies, the finished and feel of the space relate back to Roanoke’s deep history in Industrial manufacturing.

The maker space and prototyping lab serves as place for students and community members to collaborate and showcase their work, as it also serves as a main entry to the building.
The community space serves as a space to gather as it is populated by the community kitchen and garden access. This place fosters relationships between students, staff and visitors.
The research corridor of the building is focused with faculty offices and meeting spaces where students and visitors can collaborate with faculty members and their ongoing research.
The learning area of this building is centralized and on both the first and second floors. Both large classrooms and small study areas populate this space.

DENSITY DIAGRAM In aiming to organize such a large space, this diagram aided in gauging sizes and types of spaces that may go in the building. Colors, frequency and size of each circle offer different organizing factors.
The maker space is equipped with machinery and tools to promote creation and hands on learning. Located adjacent to the exhibition space, creations can be put on display for the local community to view. Glazing along one wall allows for spectators to watch as students and locals to collaborate and refine ideas while creating physical products. Lounge seating between faculty offices allows for casual meetings amongst staff, students and visitors to occur and flow.

C A N VA S COWORKING third year | 7 weeks | individual | 12,000 sq. ft. Revit - Enscape - Photoshop Mount Rainier is responsible for the continental US's most significant glaciers. Each summer, the melting ice runs down the mountain into the glacier meadows, sprouting wildflowers far and wide. Wildflowers come in a broad variety. They bloom in different times of the season and for different lengths of time. Some pop up in bunches of many while others appear alone. The varied lives of the high alpine meadow flowers resembles the lives of coworkers and their varying habits of work. Canvas is a coworking center designed to allow each coworker to operate in their most comfortable ways. Private and public offices across the first floor and mezzanine offer users a variety of options to accomplish their tasks. Each working station is equipped with an ergonomic sit to stand desk and height adjustable chair to promote healthy postures and focused work. The tech employees have their own work space beneath the mezzanine which offers them a space to utilize their company's culture + work flow to their liking. Copper Hopps Brewery, which also sits on the first floor of the building, is a space for coworkers and the Seattle community to gather and enjoy locally brewed craft beer. Outdoor seating is emphasized for the days without rain.

C A M P G E N E VA fourth year | 6 weeks | individual | 3,600 sq. ft. Revit - Enscape - Photoshop Camp Geneva was initially inspired by a small outcropping of Swiss design, urban planning and culture located in the Pocono Mountains. The programming of the camp relates to this satellite assembly in the United States. Geneva is the as think-tank center of Switzerland and is regarded as such for all of Europe, as it hosts a variety of integral international conferences each year. Camp Geneva is inspired by the intellectual magnetism and world-view of Geneva Switzerland. The city of Geneva is comprised of streets on shifted axes, some of which converge at the University campus. Within the camp space, shifted axes come together at the stage in the activity area, which will foster growth and exchange of knowledge - similarly to the way ideas and intellect converge on a school campus. The orderly and neutral backdrop allows the campers to engage in curriculum in a creative way, while expressing their individual understandings. It is the aim that the space will not distract, but rather support and encourage. Clear layout of spaces allows for simple way finding throughout the space. On the second floor, the forum-like space is centralized in the dining room, championing discussion, debate and exchange in the home oriented around the comfort and camaraderie of a meal. With Swiss culture in mind, Camp Geneva fosters critical thinking with a global mindset while balancing challenge and play for campers and staff.

Downtown Geneva is comprised of shifted street grids which converge in a variety of neighborhoods and areas. Two of the grids, which are angled, meet at the university campus. The idea of shifted axes is translated into the plan, with the convergence point focused into the stage on the first floor and the dining room in the apartment on the second floor. The stage and dining area were selected to best translate the idea of an intellectual forum from the university in the city of Geneva to the camp. SHIFTING AXES
