As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be an architect. Being a BAC student has been a dream that at times has been a hard reality.... Thought i was going to write a lengthy letter with a well thought out plot with complex subjects and elegant words... but as I think on the past two years the only words that come to mind is a simple but meaningful Thank you. Those who walked this road understand that these words are just enough. I digested and reflected for years on the moment of me writing this portion of this book, but as I put words on paper The only things that come to mind are the battles, frustration, joys, disappointments and long nights that led me here. To my family I cant put into words my gratitude toward them. My mother, Father, siblings, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nephews, friends, to those that are here and that are not here any longer I hope that these words reach you when I say Thank You. I am forever in debt with you.

01. Thesis Summary The Boston Marathon Museum physically connects the North end to the celebration of the Marathon in the city of Boston at all times of the year.
The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester One
Book: A primer of the Small Stars For the begining of the degree project we (the class) were given the task of having a book assigned as the reference for building an designing a museum in an specific site. first from a site location reserach, code, precednets and schematic design by a series of iterations. I was given the book of a primer of the small stars. The book outline reads as follows: “This is a small, black, leather covered navigational aid. It is full of folded maps of the night skies that tumble out, belying the modest size of the book. It is a depiction of the sky reflected in the seas of the world when they are still, for it is complete with blanks where the land masses of the globe have interrupted the oceanic mirror. This, to Prospero, was its greatest usage, for in steering his leaky vessel to such a small blank space in a sea of stars, he found his island. When opened, the primer’s pages twinkle with travelling planets, flashing meteors and spinning comets. The black skies pulsate with red numbers. New constellations are repeatedly joined together by fast moving, dotted lines.” The following series of images illustrates my attempt at best representing my thought process up to this point.

Boston then and now Maritime commerce through Boston Harbor was the lifeblood of early New England. Goods and services change with each century, yet the port’s economic vitality endures. By 1900, Boston had successfully transformed from a deep-water ship owning port to a major center of integrated ship trail transportation systems. Today the convergence of interstate highways, rail lines, airport facilities, and shipping, sustains Boston as a hub for imports and exports.

STUDY MODELS After the study of precedents, we as class moved into the phase of creating form for a possible museum. During this stage, I was not sure as to where things where going.
First Iteration of study models. I attempted to illustrate the “form” of a possible Museum. Boston Architectural College

The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester One BOOK MODEL STUDY MODELS
After the form studies I focused on the description of the book that was given to me. To me the idea of celestial bodies stuck in my mind. I came across the idea of a parallax, which is the unit of measurement between two stars..... From there I proceded to make models of a “celestial body”.
22 Degree Project Book
The moment where the space or distance between two stars intrigued me. i went with a series of models that had still figures that had a string that unified all elements as a whole, with a string

23
The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester One BOOK MODEL
I created a book that derived from the description that was given to me.
“A black leather book that serve as a navigational aid.”
The book is inside a clear case.
The case serves as a protectice case but the book can be seen from the exterior.

The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester One STUDY MODELS
I used materials that will serve as a way that will made a literal iteration during this assignment. I ussed a piece of film that reflects all uses of the book. You must use the book in top of this material in order to make this reference possible.
26 Degree Project Book
I think that during this process a lost track of being as abstract as possible. The book seems dull and “too literal” and I think (personally), that more investigation is necessary.
EXPRESSION MODELS

The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester One EXPRESSION MODELS
I used materials that I thought will serve me best to represent celestial bodies. I went with mesh, wire and reflective film, tin order to no deviate far from my original idea....
this iteration was an exploration of makingsculptural form with a intended purpose. I wanted to stray away from the rigidity of other materials. Can’t deny that I used “the bean” in the city of Chicago as a form of inspiration
28 Degree Project Book
This model was an attemp to create a more rigid form of points back into the idea. You can see two forms in the model however i did not wanted to define whaich point is which. Boston Architectural College

The Boston Marathon Museum - Semester Two
CONCEPT PARTI (Pathways give form) As a building, this project creates the opportunity for users (runners) to be on display as they make the way thru the building. By the program the project is organized to create interaction between runners, users and the building in all main levels. runners, former/current participants and the public. Each of these relationsships are essential part of the users experiance as well as for the exhibits. the main component of the building is a pathway tha pierces through the building that is accesible by two entry points from the outside of the building, but interaction is not interrupted due to the glazing walss that encase the pathway within the interior of the main structure. This pathway reaches a high point that puts at the same elevation as the second story, then makes its way back to the ground level all while comformiting ADA standards. Staff will have access to designated spaces, located at the top and second level. Public will move freely throughout exhibition spaces, theather and cafe areas. Through pathway interaction and bringin these features to the forefron, the project aims to fully embrace the marathon event not as yearly event but it can be celebrated thoughout the year. 58 Degree Project Book

Codes & Regulations: (h) New construction should reflect the traditional location and relationship of buildings on their sites. This includes setback from streets, spacing among buildings, and orientation of openings to the street and neighboring structures. In addition, the location of buildings should respect significant landscape features on the site. (i) New construction should respect the standards of scale of existing building patterns in order to maintain the neighborhood’s special qualities. Overall building massing, relationships of primary buildings to secondary buildings, and landscape elements all should be consistent with the surrounding architecture and environment. (j) Open spaces, building entrances, shop fronts, shop windows, shop entrances, terraces, gardens, arcades, and similar elements should be designed to enhance pedestrian activity and should encourage an active street life. Blank walls, without windows or entrances facing onto pedestrian areas, should be avoided to the extent practicable in building designs. The standards of Section 54-19.2 relating to display window area should be observed where practicable and appropriate. (k) Storefronts should be open and welcoming to the shopper and stroller. Facade treatments, building materials, and design details should be in keeping with the North End’s finest commercial architecture. Street Wall continuity should be maintained. (l) Setbacks, corner treatments, and other design details should be used to minimize the sense of bulk of structures, and ornamental and decorative elements appropriate to the urban context are encouraged.
(m) Roofs of buildings should be designed to minimize the visibility of roof structures and penthouses normally built above the roof and not designed to be used for human occupancy. Specific roof structure restrictions are contained in Section 54-18. (n) When appropriate, mechanical equipment should be sound insulated to minimize impacts on adjacent Lots. (o) A clearly defined zone for signs on the building facade should be established, defined by a change in facade color and/or materials, or by an articulation of the facade, and all permanent signs mounted on the building facade should be located within such sign band. In buildings with multiple stores, the sign band should be subdivided so that each section clearly relates to an individual store. Signs should be designed and located so as not to obscure architectural elements or ornamental details of the building facade. Internally lit signs should be designed so as not to create a hazard or nuisance through excessive brightness, and such signs should be constructed so that bulbs, wires, and other lighting equipment located inside the sign are not visible through the face of the sign. (p) In addition to the foregoing, design features of a Proposed Project should take into consideration any special characteristics of the site and its location, and should enhance and reinforce any historic qualities of existing structures.

Sustainable design initiatives include a public garden for user education purposes, Solar panels which collect sunlight to power the building in order to offset high energy cost during cold months, and a double skin Glass facade in the south wall, which provides a sustainable method for temperature control solutions. Placing the building closer to the harbor walk locates the most frequently used public areas, in a place where interaction with sunlight is at best for natural sunlight throughout most times of the day.

Structural Systems Structure = Steel - The type of structure I choose responds to the program elements. The shape of the structure is a direct response to the pathway cutting through the building. A steel structure will be use since is lighter, meaning a less expensive foundation. The site has ground water and not so kind soil which is typical In the city of Boston. This explain the the use of piles shown on details. Concrete decking will be use for the ramp and floor slabs.
