ICE_CUBE:Integrated College Experience_Collectively Unifying the Built Environment Prof. Edgar Stach (15 week project) ICE_CUBE is the newest addition to Philadelphia University’s College of Architecture and the Built Environment’s educational facilities which houses all the studios of every year and major in the undergraduate program. Through simplification of studio design, a single prototype studio is able to serve architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture students. This studio module allows for all years and majors to combine into one area that allows for interaction and collaboration amongst students with different areas of concentrations. Subterranean Level

The studio walls are glass for views through all of the spaces. In order to create pin up space a select portion of each students clear glass walls are replaced with magnetic frosted glass. The heights of the frosted glass are based on the ergonomics of students. Sitting, standing, and slouching view points supply three different areas in which the frosted glass can be placed while still supplying views through multiple studios. The randomization of assigning frosted glass segments forms a unique interior elevation in each studio.

The existing ruin that is located in the center of the newly formed quad between DEC and the existing townhouses acts as blockade to anyone that wishes to easily walk from one side of the quad to the other. The new landscape utilizes the ruin while eliminating the blockade. The wall that separates the quad is demolished and replaced with a stair case so that the quad opens up and flows with the landscape. The demolished stone work is then incorporated into the bearing walls of the terracing that are located throughout the secondary quad that is formed by DEC, ICE_CUBE and Kanbar Campus Center.
5 oz. Installation Prof. Jason Cole (1 week project)
This installation was created to explore generic systems that can be mass produced and still provide spatial experiences by utilizing light and shadow. The entire composition consists of five ounce plastic cups. To create the form, concave and convex units were created and assembled into approximately 5 foot sections. After the sections were hung, more cups were added to connect the units.
The structure of the installation is in tension and is suspended from the beams of the studio space that it is located. The entire composition spans 15 feet in width and 30 feet in length.
MACA: Mt. Airy Center for the Arts Prof. Chris Kircher (11 week project)
MACA is a conceptual study of how the site can interact with the architecture at numerous scales. The project is located at the bottom of Cresheim Park, before Cresheim Creek. The runoff of the site is used to create a project that continuously changes over time. The water from the site is collected and utilized to direct circulation flow. Depending on the season and the amount of rainfall, visitors may only be able to interact with certain parts of the program during certain seasons. The water also affects the materials of the center causing continuous change to the architecture.

MACA not only utilizes the runoff from the site, but also incorporates adaptive reuse into the project. In ruins, lays the remains of a horse stable from the Buttercup Cottage, which no longer exists. The stable is transformed into a classroom for education of the arts and history.

Conceptual Site Model
Ladder 15 Prof. Jim Cassidy (6 week project) This project takes an elongated site and applies the program of a fire station to it whose first priority is function. There is one cut from a solid mass that wraps around the tightly bound facade. This void creates the glazing of the project. The cut’s placement is defined by the functional needs of the program it crosses over. There is a circulation core on the one side of the station to allow easy access to the parking apparatus from anywhere in the station. The skin lifts up creating ventilation ducts where they are needed in the program.
Aerial: Model and Photoshop
The facade panels and structure act as the skin and bones of the project. The facade consists of a series of zinc panels that produce an air tight feel to the exterior. The structure is pulled away from the facade to further emphasize the bones of the system. Along with the structural members, the mechanical systems are also exposed to create another layer, or veins, of complexity to the station. Together the structure and the facade work together to create two completely different experiences depending g viewed. on where Ladder 15 is being

This study was supplied with a unique program where the facade needed to adapt to each function. The first floor consisted of a main lobby and information center, while the second was a computer lab for research and displays. The third floor is a gallery space for the computer lab. Along with each program there is a vertical circulation tower that penetrates each floor. The facade is comprised of glazing and poured bronze panels that blend into the historic site but still offer a contemporary feel.
MASC: Manayunk Athletic and Social Center Prof. Chrisite Tyreus (10 week project) MASC merges the dynamics of Main Street Manayunk and the peaceful nature of the Wissahickon Bike Trail. The project takes these two notions and applies a different style to each. These styles are then combined to create the form. Nature drapes up and over the more anchored industry of Main Street Manayunk. The program applied to the center becomes a sports complex. The third floor is mostly exterior and incorporates batting cages and speed pitch stations. The ribs that wrap over the “industrial� portion of the project also act as the structure for the netting systems that are needed for the batting cages and speed pitch stations. Third Floor/Roof

12_11 Hotel Prof. Jim Cassidy (8 week project) The city center of Philadelphia has set up boundaries between itself and the surrounding neighborhoods. The 12_11 Hotel dissolves these boundaries by taking the scale of the Callowhill neighborhood and combining it with the motel program, which appeals to the visitors of the Convention Center. This combination spans over the Vine Street Expressway boundary. The structure of the motel is an abstract interpretation of the electrical supports of the Reading Viaduct. The supports of the circulation path are in tension and the units of the motel act as the counter-balance. The units are a modular design to fit within the structural supports. 12th Street and Vine Street: Revit Architecture and Photoshop

Thesis Preparation Prof. Susan Frosten (16 week research project)
Restoring Authenticity through Adaptive Reuse //Abstract: Architecture is designed off the basis of a life cycle. Each building designed, is created with intent of fulfilling a required service for a specified period of time, but what happens when that time period has expired? There are a mass of buildings that lay dormant after their life cycle has been fulfilled. Historic buildings hold the true heritage of place; without a sense of purpose in their community, these buildings will slowly diminish into extinction. The reuse of historic buildings, to incorporate new programs and contemporary materials, can highlight and restore the authentic values that they possess. Through specific understandings of site history and current context, a program can be applied to illustrate the needs of the present and future while illustrating the past. Utilizing three different typologies that explore program implementation, material reuse and design strategies create an extensive set of procedures that the new design of the building will follow. The exterior shall incorporate stitching and interlocking of new and historic construction. The interior will utilize weaving and framing of new construction to emphasize and complement the historic structure. This exploration clarifies the differences between new construction and historic structures. Each has meaning in society. The combination of both types of design, in which all values are applied, can create projects with extensive memory and purpose while still having economic benefits. The City of Philadelphia provides a prime opportunity to study these methods because of its historic building stock, it postindustrial context, and its current economic status. Micro breweries are currently evolving to appeal to a wider audience and Philadelphia is at the forefront. Where the demand is higher than the supply, breweries have the potential to expand and create a production industry like the past while still appealing to the current service sector of industry through taste rooms and restaurants.
//Design Typology: Urban Integration: Stitching & Weaving Exterior: Stitching (Voids) & Interlocking (Solids) Interior: Framing (Static) & Weaving (Active)
//Investigative Methods: Adaptive reuse is the combination of new construction and utilizing historic structures within one design project. Both have different values that when combined create a more significant project to the community that neither alone could accomplish. New constructions values appeal to the current desires of a community. Values like program, energy efficiency, and technological advancements continuously change throughout time and new construction stays with the current time to facilitate these needs. Historic structures on the other hand are based off of experiences which are achieved through time and use. These values are through memories, architectural relevance, and representation of site and place.

Material use plays a key role when combing new construction with an existing building. The new must not over power the old but it must not fall back in the distance either. The two types of materials must work harmoniously to create a comprehensive picture. The old should compliment the new, and the new should compliment the old. Historic structures have notable material characteristics that most contemporary materials do not posses. Historic elements utilize depth and provide a timeless appearance, and new materials are often thin and maximize usable space. The combination of both types allows for dynamic exteriors and spatial interiors.
//Site & Context: Philadelphia’s reputation as a city is directly related to the revolutionary movement of the United States. While Philadelphia served an extremely large role in gaining our nation’s independence, there is much more depth to the city that is not being utilized. Tourists come to Philadelphia for historical references but again they only see the revolutionary sector. If Philadelphia is to be known as a historical city the entire history of the city should be illustrated for those who seek it. Philadelphia’s industrial history has a more significant impact to the present day representation of the city than the revolutionary history of the city. Philadelphia was once known as “the workshop of the world.” Anyone could start a small to middle size business and be successful. The business created varied in type. Instead of focusing on one industry like New E ngland’ l d’s ttextile extil tile iindustry nd dustry t or Pi Pitt ttsbur b gh’ h’s st teell iindustry, ndust d try, P hillad hi dellphi hia h ad d a wid ide range off industries ind dusttries i that thatt could could ld then th sustain susttaiin England’s Pittsburgh’s steel Philadelphia had wide each others needs.

Delaware Generating g Station
Demolition: In August 2009 the 1954 addition of the Delaware Generating Station was taken down by Associated Special Contracting. The demolition of the 2 ten story boilers and associated components was in preparation of the decommissioning of the station. There has not been any movement to complete the demolition of the station, but Exelon has the necessary documents to commence with the process.
Before 2009
August 2009
Current State
A half demolished building is appealing to an adaptive reuse project because of the combination of historic structure and new construction. If the historic building is complete then the new construction portion of the project may feel foreign, but with a half complete or half demolished building the new construction can combine with the existing and formulate one comprehensive project.
//Program:
To be successful in representing Philadelphia’s authenticity, the program must illustrate what the city has, not what it needs. Philadelphia has a vast variety of museums and educational buildings at the collegiate level, but both of these programs appeal to a specific demographic and not possibly to the entire city and surrounding context. Also neither of these represent the industrial past that Philadelphia was once known. Is there a program that represents the heart of Philadelphia, appeals to the surrounding community, and highlights the industrial past of the city? What did Philadelphia have during the industrial movement and still have today? Does it appeal to the community of the site? Philadelphia has micro breweries, well established in reputation not only in the nation but internationally. Philadelphia had breweries during the industrial movement as well. With the creation of Brewerytown in the 1880s there were over 190 breweries in and around Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th century.
