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 journy 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

SAN DIEGO MARKET & RESTAURANT

SECTION THROUGH RESTAURANT
The San Diego Market and Restaurant stretches diagonally across a large lot at the termination of park blvd. The south/west north/east axis is a continuation of the main pedestrian walkways creating a cohesive datum. Using the maximum cross dimensional area, the site is divided up into eight grid regimented cells flowing with the datum of the walkway. Allowing for these cells to slide 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 roof-plane of glu lam shading louvers creating a comfortable sense of enclosure. Pulling one edge of each cells plane creates three main zones. Splitting apart the main programmatic elements, the market and restaurant, and placing them on either side of the datum establishes a pedestrian mall while enveloping the site in positive partially enclosed exterior space and establishing view ports to the surrounding context. The functions flow in and out through quad fold doors, clear story curtain walls and wood louvers, while allowing for natural ventilation and light. The warm natural enclosed atmosphere is finished with the development of a double polycarbonate roof system blocking moisture and diffusing natural light.

SECTION B
The Dallas Library is 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 aspects. The surrounding context allows for openings on the north and south side. 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.

BOWERY BAY FERRY TERMINAL

A
FLOOR PLAN
The Bowery Bay Ferry Terminal is located in north Queens, and 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. Earthy 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.
