CENTER FOR WELLNESS + DISABILITY
SECTION B 1’16” = 1’0
Based on the appreciation of the site and its landscape along with the exterior connection to its interior elements, the project’s circulatory mezzanine serves as a guide through a journey accessing the programmatic spaces and ultimately towards a series of meditational platforms. The double height central space in conjunction with the platforms and the filtrating facade folds blur the line between exterior and interior elements.
MEDITATION PATH
Intended to be a walkway through nature, the path is elevated from the ground up to the mid height of the grove. This upward build leaves the terrain unaffected while also allowing the public to maintain leisure activities on the ground. The path’s ascension enables the visitors to experience the site with new eyes. Formed by the connection of revealing spots, the path is composed by two main routes which are sewed with subsidiary ones in between.
SUBSIDIARY PATHS THE MAIN PATH IS DIVIDED INTO SUBSIDIARY ONES TO CREATE SECONDARY CONNECTIONS
ENDING POINT PLATFORM POINTING TOWARDS THE POND (CANTILEVERED)
GROUP GATHERING SURROUNDED BY TREES CREATING A MORE PRIVATE SPACE SEPARATE FROM THE SITE
STARTING POINT RAMP SLOWLY PROGRESSING TO THE TREE WALK PLATFORMS
INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION CANTILEVERED PLATFORM THAT DIRECTS THE VISITOR’S VIEW TOWARDS THE STEEPEST AREA OF THE SITE
URBAN SANCTUARY
Characterized by light ridges entering through the apertures in between the overlaps of the exterior shell, the sanctuary’s hollow interior is solemnly lit. As the program of the building is that of a columbarium, a series of waiting rooms and offices function at the opposite side. By contrasting these programmatic uses, each acquiring different formal languages and lighting qualities, the experiential impact of going in and out of the sanctuary is amplified.
FRIEDRICH BERGIUS SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
Sunken into the ground, the court is surrounded by a circulatory mezzanine which is enclosed by a double glass facade bringing sunlight and ventilation into the arena. The program is divided by a set of ramps, which either take the visitors to the stadium seatings in the mezzanine level or the locker rooms below. This programmatic organization permits the building to function properly for both players and spectators.

BOSTON OLYMPICS COMMUNITY DESIGN
Rising from the street level, this Boston 2024 master plan transforms the Industrial District by creating new mixed-use typologies next to the Olympic Complex while still maintaining the existing transportation infrastucture. It connects Boston’s major developments and green spaces turning them into one continuous path with the use of pedestrian and cycling bridges, while also creating a new promenade with the extension of Fort Point Channel.
