[CLE] Transportation Hub

Establishing multiple connections is the goal of the [CLE] Transportation Hub. These connections are meant to be real, physical connections as well as internal, mental relationships within the users of the hub. The physical connection is made through the use of different types of transportation. The [CLE] Transportation Hub is comprised of several programmatic elements, including an Amtrak station, an RTA Rapid stop, bus stops, and bicycle rental and storage. The diverse types of transportation will allow the hub to bring people to the waterfront in several ways, leading to a higher use of the several amenities located in the area. Another physical connection that is established is a direct link from The Mall across the railroad tracks, reducing the barrier effect that the tracks currently create. This means that a person can easily walk from Public Square to The Mall and continue to the waterfront with minimal interruption. The other type of connection that is made has to do with experience. Several light and view studies were done in order to analyze the experience of the actual building. The result is a form that begins to reveal the city skyline and waterfront in unique ways as one navigates through the building, establishing an important impression of what Cleveland has to offer. By establishing these two types of connections, the [CLE] Transportation Hub will provide a new, exciting way to reach the waterfront and experience the best of Cleveland.

LIGHT STUDIES Inspired by a series of studies done by Steven Holl, where he categorized and logged different types of light that would enter a space, my own light studies gave me insight as to what form the building wanted to take. Study models were set up within a larger site model and light was controlled with a lamp to mimic different times of day. Site location began to dictate that the form would open up to the north while shading the southern light. This was also useful for encouraging views towards the water while controlling view towards the city. The result is a building that is dynamic while offering dramatic lighting to enter the spaces.

SYSTEMIC INTERACTIONS MERGING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES WITH HUMAN INTERACTIONS AS A WAY TO LINK HISTORICAL CONTEXT WITH NEW URBAN INTERVENTIONS

The Scranton Peninsula is located within the flats district of Cleveland. It has a rich history involving heavy and light industry, and still to this day largely operates as an industrial material storage space. The inspiration for the design came directly from the material piles located on site, meaning that people should be able to interact with the piles and the industrial processes that bring the piles to the site. A formed structure allows for movement on top of and in between the piles, and it is on this structure that people are encouraged to experience the industrial “grit” that exists in the flats. Multiple times a week material is flung around the site from large ships using conveyer belts. This creates a spectacle that stays true to the historic nature of the site while adding something new, the integration of people and industry.

With Industry in full gear for many hours a week, the amount of safe river usage goes way down due to unpredictable shipping schedules. This poses a challenge to those who wish to take part in water related activities, and thus keeps many people off of the river. For this reason, the structure that has been inserted onto the Scranton Peninsula utilizes ambient informatics to inform rowers and kayakers when they are potentially in danger. The structure is designed to blend into the water, creating pockets located at key safety points around the peninsula. When a large ship is approaching, the pockets glow red [see right image] to inform paddlers that they need to head towards the safety zones, thus providing many more opportunities to utilize the Cuyahoga River.

OHIO CITY ]RECREATION CENTER[

Key Plan ]ohio city[ th 25 W. St.

Ohio City is well-known for a few things, including its lively public atmosphere as well as the West Side Market, located directly across from the project site. Because of these factors, the site is very active and introducing spaces that create moments of pause is important. Covered and elevated public space is one of the main elements of the project, providing people with a chance to relax and view the events that occur on the street. The facade is composed of two layers of glass that is made to be semi-transparent in certain areas. Interior program was drawn outside and is reďŹ&#x201A;ected in the glazing, providing the glass with rhythm and movement similar to the activities that occur within the recreation center.

CLEVELAND

FERRY TERMINAL

Key Plan As a tourist destination, Cleveland has seen incredible growth in the last few years. The waterfront in particular is home to several amenities such as the Great Lakes Science Center, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, First Energy Stadium, and proposed development that will include mixed-use residential and office space. The design for the Cleveland Ferry Terminal was inspired by these developments, utilizing a vectoral approach that links users of the site with the different destinations available on the waterfront. This allows those who are new to Cleveland an opportunity to experience the best of downtown, while those who are familiar with Cleveland will be treated to a different type of waterfront experience. Overall, the terminal will rely on constant flows of people in and out of the city, with the hopes that a lasting positive impression of Cleveland is firmly established by those who use the space.

Process [Solid/Void Studies]

Surface lifted to create void space

The public piazza is a space where public and private functions come together. These spaces must ultimately ďŹ t the needs of the people, meaning a strong design is critical to bring existing context and visitors together into one cohesive work of architecture. The goal of this project is to use solid and void relationships to design a gastronomy center with meaningful spaces that interact with the underground parking, the Santâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ambrogio Market, the University of Florence School of Architecture, and the countless other attractions within Florence. By sinking the structure into the parking garage, it is possible to create an experience above and below ground that still maintains the public piazza above. This helps blend the new contemporary gastronomy center into the existing history of Florence.

Located between the precipice of a vibrant downtown and stable urban neighborhoods, the Sulphur Dell neighborhood struggles to retain an identity concomitant with the character and future of the city. Widespread flooding and issues of resilience are being challenged with a new identity for the neighborhood, anchored by a new baseball stadium, museum, and library. Adding to this civic campus is the E.C.H.O. System development plan. Through the introduction of a new ecological system, and development in line with the goals of the city and its people, the Sulphur Dell neighborhood reverberates through the Nashville region as a beacon for modern urban living in terms of environment, community, health, and outreach. Through the introduction of resilient sustainable strategies at the building, block, and neighborhood scales, E.C.H.O. will lead Nashville as a relevant model for development. Encouraging biodiversity and a sound ecosystem through a series of neighborhood green “spillways,” bioswales, pervious materials, and water collection and detention strategies creates a cornerstone for the creation of a diverse community. Standing as both an ecologically and economically sustainable model for development--investors, financiers, and the public can confidently build a diverse program adjacent to the Cumberland River while providing numerous public amenities. As a whole, The E.C.H.O. neighborhood development serves as a resilient 21st century model for a sustainable neighborhood, providing for a variety of lifestyles through the building of relationships with the river, the environment, the neighborhood, and the city of Nashville.

MOBILE MIAMI 2nd Place

Mobile Miami stresses the importance of intermodal transportation as a growing urban trend in the city. The concept projects real-time digital information to communicate the availability of all modes of on-site transportation. This allows for absolute freedom of choice on how to better connect with Miami.
