Carter G. Woodson Museum Jason Barker Design Development - Summer 2020
Parti. The basic concept of the Woodson museum is of a multi volume museum campus along 22nd street in St. PEtersburg, that transforms the existing site by means of extended landscaping that exist with the museum, while interacting witht he community via multiple paths and public spaces that connected it to existing areas, and encourgage circulation between the museum and the larger community.
This parti sketch emphasizes the existing area, with the intersection of 22nd and 9th being the focal point, and the museum site circled. Building Site Bus Stop Overpas intervention 9th and 22nd intersection
This early sketch began to explore the general form of the museum, with the three gallery volumes, and the separate childrens wing. As well as the enveloping circulation around all of these elements. The circulation/main lobby would later be extended south, and the childrens wing refined further with its own gallery spaces in addition to classrooms and workshops.

Site. The site is an existing empty lot near the 27th overpass, north of the 9th and 22nd intersection. It is west of the street and there are plans for a mixed us development immediately to the north, across the street from the site we were assigned. It was meant to interact with another intervention unrelated to this document. This early parti diagram analyzes the overall region, with the site indicated by the circle.

Site Diagram. This diagram explores the relationship between the museum, the other intervention, and the existing context. This was an earlier step, and the form of the museum evolved considerably from this analysis.

Circulation. An elevated platofmr with a transparent glass envelop circles the interior volumes and spaces, with entrances on either side of the structure. All circulation consists of wide, open corridors that double as public gatheric spaes due to their size, and are outfitted with mechanical features that allow fresh air circulation in each segment.
N
Entrance. There are three entrances to the museum. Two primary entrances along 22nd street, at the north and south ends, and a secondary entrance on the western side of the museum that accesses the childrens wing. The primary entrances connect to large outdoor spaces that interact heavily with the street and transit stops, while the secondary entrace connects to outdoor landscaping, park, and public space on the museum grounds.

Curtain wall details. This 2-1/2″ sightline outside glazed curtain wall system utilizes MegaTherm® technology with structural polyamide struts (in 3 widths) that accommodate standard 1″ glazing units as well as advanced glazing options such as triple glazing and suspended film technology.To ensure long-term structural integrity, the dead load of the insulating glass rests on integrated structural supports, diverting this load away from the thermal barriers.
Features Advanced Thermal / Thermally Broken Benefits Outstanding Thermal Performance – three MegaTherm strut widths allow Glazing infills of 1″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ and overall U-factors as low as 0.17 Warmer interior surfaces – Increased resistance to condensation, with a CRFf up to 82 Optional integral sill flashing Ability to integrate with building’s air-vapor barrier Data Construction Use: New / Retrofit Sightline: 2-1/2” Mullion Depth: 1” Glazing Infill: 6”, 7-1/2” │ 1-1/2” Glazing Infill: 8”, 9” │ 1-3/4” Glazing Infill: 6-3/4”, 8-1/4”, 9-3/4” │ 2” Glazing Infill: 8-1/2”, 10” Framing Installation Method: Shear Block Glazing Installation: Outside Glass Type: Monolithic / Insulating Glass Configuration: Front Thermal Method: Iso Struts
Curtain wall overhand/shading. The expanded line allows designers to maintain the functional benefit of the legacy system while offering a new, industrial, design option. All systems are available in all YKK AP standard and premium finishes. When integrated with YKK AP’s thermally broken systems, our innovative anchoring methods ensure that the thermal performances of the host systems are maintained. The ThermaShade system features a thermal barrier within the attachment anchor. Pre-engineered solutions provide extensive flexibility for design freedom, speed of delivery, and installation.

Door sketches and details. The galleries have a sliding, vertical door system that smoothly snaps in to place, making the door almost vanish in to the wall, in addition to trapdoors in the floor allowing for access to interstitial space containing storage and mechanical elements.
Entrance/exit doors. Basic YKK thermal doors made to work with the previouslt documented curtain wall system. Benefits Accepts standard 1″ insulating glazing units as well as advanced glazing, including suspended film, up to 1-1/2″ Foam polymer inserts in the horizontal members to reduce convection Dual perimeter air seals Doors designed to allow many hardware options without bridging the thermal break – our doors have additional space so that hinges don’t bridge the break.

Sections. The structure is defined by a great deal of transparency, which has the practical effect of blurring the line between sections and elevations. The entire envelope is primarily made up of glass, and much of the interstitial space is visible as opposed to being concealed by an opaque envelope.

Sections. Most of the structure is elevated above the ground, to give a feeling of celebration and uplift. This, combined with the mostly transparent envelope creates a sense of lightness and celebration.

This side of the museum is adjacent to 22nd street, and has access to a transit hub on the opposite side of the street. It sits back from the sidewalk, with an open pavilion area in front of the building, with seating and light public gathering space decorated with greenery and water elements. From here the three gallery spaces are visible through the glass walls of the lobby, and the view of them from outside invites people to enter the museum and explore.

¼ of the area is, on the south end, the cafe and community library, while the remainder is an enclosed semi-outdoor terrace, with the only other structure being a second floor mechanical room. The L-frame supports the canopy system that forms the “roof” of the second level, as well as the structural members having LED lights attached to provide primary outdoor illumination. The galleries protrude up into the terrace, coming about 4 feet from the ground.

Eletrical-Lighting Systems Two separate mechanical rooms for each wing of the museum, with the transformer, switches, distro panels, etc. all located in or near them. Recessed LED lights provide the primary source of lighting in the entire building, with some fluorescent lights in mechanical and storage spaces.
Overhead Flourescent Primrarily used in storage and mechanical rooms Not used in public areas with the exception of restrooms
Modular track lighting is found in the galleries to illuminate specific works when needed. There is recessed LED lighting in the space between the compound L-Frame structural members, which provides both aesthetic effect and additional lighting for the main lobby areas.
