Bowery Bay Ferry Terminal New York City ADS 4 Spring 2015

The Bowery Bay Ferry Terminal located in north Queens, NYC, will serve as the missing transportation link for the greater Manhattan area. Situated directly adjacent to Laguardia airport, with a direct connection to all major bus and tram lines. The nearby residents of East Elmhurst have a direct link, bypassing the industry sector, along a green bridge spanning from the northeast edge of the sector. The terminal is split into three programmatic bars placed on the north axis, framing view ports to the verdant edge of rikers island and to the activity of East Elmhurst coastline and flourishing park. These conceptual bars slide past each other on a geometric grid placed on a elongated pier, pushing towards the deepest point of the bay. The stitch spaces connecting each bar are multipurpose spaces adding the ability for recreation, philanthropy, and educational program. Concrete columns rise out of the ground splitting into stark white steel holding a roof spanning the entirety of the pier, creating positive exterior space to both private stitch spaces and public areas. Extensive skylights draw natural light into the complex, while feeding the thermal mass surrounding interior services space during the cold seasons, and allows for natural ventilation and night flushing abilities during the warm seasons. Concrete walls boast deep form lines, mimicked by the mullion pattern of the wrapping curtain wall. 6

The Sol Artist Museum New York City ADS 4 Spring 2015

The Sol Lewitt Museum located in New York City is inspired by the minimalistic, geometric, process driven art that is housed within its walls. Using Lewitt’s mathematical approach, a grid regimented system became the underlaying programmatic structure of the spaces. After careful analysis and an intensive light study, it was determined that Sol’s three main types of pieces deserved to be showcased in varying levels of illumination. A series of aggregates, using the artists portfolio of sculptures as geometric inspiration, create the space and light needed. Allowing these spaces to overlap and intertwine fully encompasses the process driven mentality of Sol Lewitt. While creating a journey through color rich paintings soaked with natural light, stark white cube structures showcasing their depth by shadows cast from a diffused source, and the contrasting black and white brush strokes hiding from the natural light. 14

“If the artist carried through his idea and makes it into visible form, then all the steps in the process are of importance. The idea itself, even if not made visual, is as much a work of art as any fished product. All intervening steps, scribbles, sketches, drawings, failed work modes, studies, thoughts, conversations, are of interest. Those that show the thought process of the artist are sometimes more interesting than the final product. - Sol Lewitt 1971 Vertical Circulation Concept Process

DCC Public Library Dallas, Texas ADS 2 Spring 2014

The Dallas Library is a modified set piece design. Three symmetrical floors wrap around a central atrium and through a series of massive piers. The concrete Piers are the primary structure and also house all service components. The surrounding context allows for openings on the north and south facade. A slanted curtain wall placed between the piers on these faces allow for maximum natural daylighting as well as sightlines into the library and out onto the busy streets and nearby golf course. The roof plan extends a louvered system over these faces both protecting the building from solar gain and reflecting broken light into the spaces. These overhangs create positive outdoor space engaging the public street, and allowing for a more private area facing the golf course. The same louver system is used in a skylight opening up to the central atrium.

Farm to Table Resturaunt and Market San Deigo, California ADS 5 Fall 2016

The San Diego Market and resturant stretches across a large lot at teh terminus of Park blvd. The cross axis is a continuation of the main pedestrian walkways, elongating the datum. Using the maximum cross dimensional area, the site is divided into eight grid regimented cells flowing with the datum of the walkway. Sliding these cells past each other along the geometric grid establishes abundant positive space. Given the climate of the area these cells consist of clean steel columns rising to a cohesive roofplane of glu-lam shading louvers creating a comfortable sense of encolusre. Pulling one edge of each cells roof plane creates three main zones splitting apart the main programatic elements, the market and resaraunt, and placing them on either side of the datum. This establishes a pedestrian mall, enveloping the site in positive partially enclosed exterior space while developing viewports to the surrounding context. The programatic functions flow in and out through quad fold doors, clear story curtain walls, and wood louvers allowing for natural venilation and light. The warm natural enclosed atmosphere is finished with the development of a dual layer polycarbonate roof system, blocking moisture and diffusing natural light.

Brew Pub Visitor Center Orvieto, Italy Study Abroad Spring 2016

The Brew Pub and Visitor Center is a an important way finding device for the city of Orvieto, Italy. This historic cliff top city has a massive flux of travelers everyday, who need help navagating its organic street grid. Elevating a tower to allow for site lines over the city creates an understanding of the complex features of Orvieto. Wrapping the tower in a terricotta screen makes modern use of a contextual material, while allowing for designation of viewports to certain elements throughout the city. The main structure of the building attaches to an extisting pier, that also supports the cliff edge of the site. This pier is shelled out, and is also used as a climate and light controlled enviroment for the brewery function below grade.

AD Cultural Innovation Center Los Angeles, California ADS 7 & 8 Current

The benefits of education, knowledge, and craft dispersed throughout a community, are instrumental in the preservation of a culture. Although the rezoning and visionary rule implementation will allow for the correct spaces to emerge, both preserving and bolstering the distinct Arts District culture, a precedent must be set. The Cultural Collaboration Campus is an exciting partnership of technology, digital craft, creative arts,industry professionals, and community. The Campus will mix uses of occupation, education, community, culture, and life through the sharing of curriculum and space. The aspiration is to preserve the artistic culture of the arts district through expansion of the arts, offering apprenticeships to visiting professionals in visual, physical and auditory disciplines. Student life and connection with community are vital to the success of the campus. The application of community-student-professional shared learning, exhibit, and recreational spaces will add to the preservation and expansion of the arts. Support facilities within the campus (ie cafe, ect.) will be run as community business incubators. Housing for students and professionals will be resolved on site.
