Aging Gardens - Community Building Instructor: Michael Ferrara Brookline, MA Imagine a building where people go to live and not only cultivate their lives but fruits and vegetables. This project proposes to make that a reality by bringing together people of all ages to a shared garden in the middle of an elderly residence. The garden is a core to this project in the literal sense helping to improve the life of the elderly in the neighborhood.

Mattapan Community Wellness Center Mattapan, MA Instructors: Ellen Merritt and Erik Dalen A community wellness center is a much needed resource in areas where there isn’t much health equity. This project not only seeked to fill that gap but also integrate itself into the site’s natural environment, by re-using the rain and run-off water.

Organic Design for Growing Minds Cambridge, MA Instructor: Tyler Hinckley The Montessori classroom is not your traditional classroom. Each space within the classroom is carefully designed to nurture the each individual students’ needs.

Biomimicry + Transportation Student Design Challenge Boston, MA (Downtown) Instructor: Kristen Fritsch The project for this studio was in response to a design challenge competition where qualities were adapted through biomimicry in order to find solutions to problems in transportation. This project takes on the challenge of redesigning Boston’s oldest T station.

Building Envelope Improvements This project consists of designing repair solutions to improve the exterior masonry facade of 14 public housing buildings from the 40’s. This project is currently ongoing.

Harvard Measuring Project The Harvard Measuring Project consisted of capturing existing conditions for over 2,100 housing units belonging to Harvard University Housing. Project is soon to be closed out.

Renovation of Student Health Services A small project for Boston University’s student Health Services. This project consisted of redesigning a set of exam rooms to provide better use of the space currently there. Project is currently in construction.

Aging Gardens - Community Building Brookline, MA

The goal of this project was to create an assisted living facility that would integrate a public engagement component. In the case of the Aging Gardens the facility integrates a community garden in order to not only provide the neighboring community a needed resource but, also create opportunities for meaningful social interaction for the residents of the assisted living facility.

Mattapan Community Wellness Center Mattapan, MA

The Mattapan Wellness Center A.K.A Permeable Landscape consisted of both an architectural and a landscape intervention. An in depth analysis of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural and environmental contextual factors informed the design for a community wellness center. The goal of this project was to create a building/ground relationship that would incorporate a hydrologic system that would both inform the building design and function in service of the fitness and farm activities. The building design would in turn engage the natural systems and operate as a sustainable physical and social intervention.

Site Slope Analysis

ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

An important factor that needed to be considered for this project was the existing and post occupancy movement of water through the site. The analysis above guided the building placement in order to capitalize on water movement on site to capture and re-use rain and runoff water.

Parti Diagram 18

ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

The existing site already had some deep-rooted access points which made the site a very transitory space for the local neighbors. Along with those access points and paths additional analysis of water movement on the site further informed the building placement to capture runoff water for use within the building.

The overall design shown here is a combination of responses to the site and the given program. The building place on the site halfway down a slope where water will be captured and reused in the natural pool where filtering plants will clean the water. Extreme consideration was taken to ensure that all grading would result in ADA accessible slopes to not only provide access to the all parts of building but, also the site.

Organic Design for Growing Minds Cambridge, MA The design challenge for this studio was focused on first creating a definition for Organicism, then designing a classroom that would be incorporated into a larger scheme to create a school. The first few pages will focus on the development of the classroom, and then a site will be introduced and an overall scheme for the school will be developed.

Organic Design for a Montessori School Organic Design for the purpose of this project follow four points of organization/ modes of thinking: Self-Growth: A design begins with a primary program elements that itself is derived from a multitude of elements to accommodate the user. Responsive/Adaptive: A design must be responsive to its users and its social, natural and built environment in order to create development opportunities for its users. Interconnected: A design must consist of a system of relationships that create an ecosystem within each space as well as in relation to its natural context. 1) Daily living exercises 2) Sensorial Materials 3) Academic Materials 4) Cultural and Artistic materials South W E North

The sections on this page capture the initial design of the classroom. The layout of the space was designed around the ideas of the Montessori curriculum while using gestures of the compression and decompression through the use of ceiling heights. The higher a ceiling the more social the use of the space is while the lower the ceiling the more private the space is.

Group of Classrooms in Program Layout

The prepared environment diagram was a guiding factor throughout the design of this classroom space. The diagram itself is a representation of the core principles of the Montessori school. The diagram is simple at the core you have the distinct areas of learning: Daily living exercises, Sensorial Materials, Academic Materials, Cultural & Artistic materials. Surrounding the core is nature, a learning tool in itself that all areas must have access to. Finally on the outer rim you have the â&#x20AC;&#x153;adultâ&#x20AC;? who prepares the environment but is not the driver for learning.

+ This model represents a precedent study that used compression and decompression of spaces through varying ceiling heights as a tool to guide a person towards that best space based on what they intend to do. In my design I used this to give the children spaces for both social activities and areas for individual growth and mindfulness.

This initial design for the classroom help formalize the relationship between the two ideas above into a space that could be then reiterated into the final design on the pages that follow.

Biomimicry + Transportation Student Design Challenge Boston, MA

This project was developed as a team submission for the Biomicry Student Design Challenge. All BAC teams focused on addressing at least three of a list previously identified problems at Park Street Station in Boston, MA. These issues are lack of natural light, poor indoor environmental quality, overly congested platforms and train cars, and the inefficiencies of speed and service in subway stations.

ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

CHALLENGES & DESIGN STRATEGY In our design strategy we sought to improve the overall quality, efficiency and experience in Park Street station by addressing a lack of natural light, poor indoor environmental quality, overly congested platforms and train cars due the inefficiencies of speed and service. Collaboratively we researched natural models with features that maximized the reach of daylight in darker spaces, inform way finding efficiently, and decrease congestion. SITE Our site was Park Street Station in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. It is one of the oldest stations and was part of the initial rush to be the first city with a metro system. At the time of construction the quickest build was to dig as shallow as possible however, the station itself is completely underground so it requires a lot of artificial light. Additionally the station started out with a small number of stops, but since then has expanded its service, but the original design was just not meant to handle current service needs. It also creates a confusing and inefficient circulation which requires the user to go inside before being able to clearly identify where you are supposed to go creating congested entry points and circulation.

Site Plan 39

Part of the challenge requirements were to select a natural model that would inspire a design solution. The focus of this project for me was solving the problem of lack of natural light. My biomimetic model was the Begonia Leaf.

Lack of Natural Light

BEGONIA LEAF EPIDERMAL CELL Clear and lens shape outer surface bring in natural diffused light

The Begonia Leafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epidermal cells have the ability to focus and capture light. They are clear to allow more light to pass through and have a concave shape that disperses the light within it to maximize the small amounts of light it receives.

Enlarged Begonia Leaf Epidermal Cells

Example of light being dispersed by concave lens

Conclusion: Using the dispersing light effect of the begonia leaf. I proposed to use concave sheets of glass to create a facade that would look opaque from the outside but at the same time would disperse the outside light deep into the underground station. Proposed Adaptation showing the d iffused light effect 40

Building Envelope Improvements Boston, MA Firm: The Galante Architecture Studio Client: Boston Housing Authority Project Type: Facade Restoration/Repairs Location/Scale: Boston, MA (14 Buildings) Role: Project Staff Duration: March 2017 to Approx. Fall 2018 For the last 3 to 4 months this project has been my primary focus at the office. The client is unique in a sense because it is my previous employer, the Boston Housing Authority. This has allowed me to use my experience as a housing interpreter to not only facilitate communication with the tenants that reside in the buildings but, it also facilitates project management by already knowing the client, their staff, and general goals. The is at its early and at the moment will be moving from Schematic Design into Construction Documents and then Bidding. Thus far I have gone on site visits to analyze the building envelopes for any exterior damage to the masonry, as well as, the interior of a number of housing units to understand the implications that the exterior damage observed has, if any, on the interior spaces.

ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

This project consists of 14 masonry buildings from the 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that need facade improvements. The initial schematic design phase of this project has consisted of conducting an investigation of existing conditions with a report and set of schematic design drawings as a deliverable. Design problems for this project have been minimal and have included things like deciding on a format for the report and creating working drawings based on old archival drawings to facilitate the investigation process and the deliverables.

This project is pushing me further into understanding that collaboration is not just required between project staff but, also with the client. There is a certain level of mutual accountability that resides in each project and I feel this project will teach me more about this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also learning more about the distinct forms of collaboration between myself and other TGAS project team staff. It is one thing to receive tasks to perform and another to work with someone to drive a project forward. Further understanding these dynamics will help me grow greatly as a design professional, and as a team/ project leader. Bath

The images below are of a sample sheet of elevations from the investigation report drawing set and the corresponding first floor plan extracted from the floor plans sheet. The creation of this drawings has required a keen attention to detail and knowledge of all the buildings. The elevations also use a keynotes system to notate all the damage observed on the exterior of the building to help in determining the scope of work to be performed when the project moves forward into bidding and then construction.

The Harvard Measuring Project was the first project I worked on while at The Galante Architecture Studio (TGAS). This project had already started and had an establish system in which the work was performed. I had to quickly learn the processes in place as well as merge myself into an already existing team of interns. Needless to say collaboration was a huge part of this project as it took major coordination efforts to measure and document over 2,100 housing units. There werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any design opportunities to this project as my role was solely to document existing conditions.

This project definitely enhanced my growth as a designer in the sense that I before it I had not worked in architecture . This was a highly collaborative project and in my previous work about 90% was collaborative. However, I had not been part of an architectural team yet. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t differ much in the sense that you are part of a team and have to appear to be a team to the clients you are serving. This was particularly true when we got to measuring the large (490+ units) housing site. I took on the role of coordinating our team of interns to make sure that we were on schedule to complete a set number of units each measuring day.

Sample Unit Plan

For this, I had to familiarize myself if not only the unit layouts but also the site layout horizontally and vertically to understand the floor breakdowns in the three high-rise buildings housed about half of the units on the property. Since we did not have building sections I had to examine the floor plans for all 22 floors to see where elevators landed and where stairs could be used.

Prior to working on this project, I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any experience in making product selections let alone specifying them for a project. I was provided with a degree of design freedom to make selections for products that would comply with the project requirements and with the aesthetic qualities of the design.

Firm: The Galante Architecture Studio, Inc. Client: TGAS Project Type: Product Design Role: Collaborating Designer Duration: November 2016 to December 2016 This was a small office project that came up to create a transporting box for the Statement of Qualification Books that we submit when responding to an RFP. I worked with other staff at the firm to come up with a design that represented the firm well. I submitted an initial sketch and from it derived a CAD drawing to cut on the laser cutter. Following that, I worked with another intern to provide feedback on the cut and assembled results from her mock ups. The following was the final product.

In my initial sketch, I proposed a magnetic latch which took some trial and error before we found a magnet and metal that would work to keep the latch closed.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Identify Your Spaceâ&#x20AC;? A study of form in relation to its surroundings. Initially its surrounding was a gallery space with points of interest near it, which influenced some of the design. Our hope is to give this project new life through Figment Boston. We would like to explore how people would interact with this design. Simply seeing how this form can influence a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of space would be a great opportunity for us as students. The overall form is low to the ground and has a different profile from all angles providing various interactions for both adults and children, and there is also a large fin that rises and creates an opportunity for a number of different interactions depending on the user.
