tampa boathouse/natatorium Along the Hillsborough River, the boathouse creates a moment of pause within a big, forceful city. The project brings people onto the site, and closes off the idea of routine and business the city and urban environments encourage. As the structure rises from the earth, two circulation possibilities are available. The first leads to a group of pools that are integrated into a constructed hillside. These pools form an organizational arrangement that mimics the blocks of the city, but break down into their own entity as they sink closer to the water’s edge. The structure encloses the river in the manner of which a wave would splash over land. It starts from the surface of the water, curves up the hillside and crashes over the hillside. It cuts through the pools representing the urban order and cups over the site to provide a serene, massive outdoor public space and boathouse.
new york highline annex Located on the highline in New York City, this annex of the Morgan Library mimics the language of the highline itself with the views it creates. On the site, a place of gathering is created on the highline, and focuses a view through a metal frame that looks out to the street intersection at ground level. The annex creates the same type of framed views at a much larger scale. Massive frames focus views out to the park in front of the annex, down the south end of the highline, and out above the skyline towards the river. Just as the framed section of the highline is constructed, a moment of pause is created within the annex’s design. A bar is located in front of the annex across the pedestrian path etched into the highline, and looks over the park and out into the city. Public spaces including the reading rooms, lobby, and gallery are wrapped around the highline for easy community access. These open spaces also provide a barrier for more private spaces. Vaults are located underground underneath the highline for documents that cannot withstand exposure to light. Above the lobby, private reading rooms and conference rooms are available for the librarians and researchers. The higher the building stretches, the more secluded it becomes. The open vertical stretch within the interior reaches up to the topmost floor to reflect the height and powerful feeling of the city’s many streets. The skin that wraps around the building contains habitable scaffolding spaces where books and documents can be stored for the librarians private use.

brunelleschi’s center for the arts, sciences, and faiths In the heart of Florence Italy, the Piazza della Signoria houses the opportunity for a place of learning and social interaction. The design goal for this specific project was to create a place that promoted innovative thinking by integrating the arts, sciences, and faiths within a common place in an urban setting. The idea is to create both private and public realms with a semi permeable border between the two. Reseachers would study, create, and live in the private spaces within the building, but then allow for other researchers and students to come in to see the work being done. Galleries and a lecture hall would allow for the sharing of the knowledge gained to connect the puiblic to new information. A chapel would welcome people in for services and provide a place of worship for any faiths. The main purpose is to be able to have these different areas of studies come together and promote the theory of sharing and using any ideas from any subject to better their own studies and give it to the world to use.
Key goals of the center included integrating the arts, sciences, and faiths, providing an adequate live/work setting for researchers, and creating a connection to the urban setting of the piazza with the work occurring within the center. Closer to the Neptune fountain on the corner of the palazzo Vecchio, a lobby open to the public would pour into a intimate lecture hall where researchers, students, and anyone from the public could come in to hear about studies going on within the center. A chapel would also be open to the public for sermons and prayer from various religions. An art gallery would be open to the public during certain hours of the day, as well as a rooftop cafe for visitors of the center. The cafe would be semi public and provide a place for discussion for residents and outside guests. As the building grows vertically, places become less public with spaces for labs and offices. Outside researchers and students would have access to labs during certain hours in order to promote a place of study. In order to keep residents secure in a place of study, private work/live spaces would be available to reside in. The lofts would be tucked back on the top floors farthest away from the public spaces of the center, and pushed back from the piazza.
piazza della signoria florence, italy
Just south of Brunelleschi’s Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria rests slightly north of the Arno River. This piazza houses the famous Palazzo Vecchio and Uffici, along with various street cafes and restaurants. It is a busy public space that allows for tourists and locals to gather together to experience the rich Italian culture the city of Florence has to offer.
The first two level of the Brunelleschi center revolve mainly around the public. It is the realm between the public and private that is used to inform and inspire. Visitors are encouraged to enter the center and learn about the research occurring. 1. Lobby: Used to draw the public in to the center. Promotes research and work occurring within the center. 2. Chapel: Open to various religious groups to provide a place of worship within a peaceful and harmonious space. 3. Lecture Hall: A space in the core of the center that gives outside researchers, students, and people of the community an opportunity to hear about studies going on within the facilities. 4. Private Residential Entrance: A secluded entrance for residents of the center to enter that is separated from the public realm. 5. Service Space 6. Art Gallery: Public gallery to show artwork and projects done by artists residing within the center. Influences from areas of faiths and sciences are encouraged within the artist’s work. 7.

tampa international airport international terminal The key design goal for this international terminal is to incorporate qualities of Florida that could be celebrated while welcoming in new guests to the country. This terminal should be designed to also remind people departing from the terminal about Florida’s characteristics that its residents and visitors have come to love. For many people, Florida is known for the tropical atmosphere and beaches that line its coasts. The international terminal should celebrate the sunshine state by having an open design that allows for natural light to illuminate different moments of the building. The form of building was intended to mimic the movement of the tides pulling out to sea and having waves form and crash over the sand.
tampa international airport tampa, florida
Within the city limits of Tampa, Florida, Tampa International Airport resides just east of the Tampa Bay. Almost 17 million enplanements occur annually through these gates, creating a need for an expansion of its international terminal. The design goal was to create a master plan of a newly proposed international terminal, with the driving focus to be creating a landside facility with design characteristics that reflect the Floridian landscape and culture.

shinkjuku tower Within the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, Japan, a large commercial block with multiple shopping malls brings an incredible amount of shoppers from around the world. The block contains three different malls known as Lumine 1, Lumine 2, and Lumine Est that are adjacent to Shinjuku’s train station, which transports an average of 3.6 million people per day. The program of this assignment was to create a new mall in the spirit of the existing shopping centers that linked directly to Lumine Est. Due to the high volume of people moving through the district, there is a tremendous need for hotel space within close proximity of the station and shopping centers. Design requirements included multiple levels of commercial shopping, restaurants, a biergarten, a tea garden, and a hotel that included single rooms, double rooms, Japanese style rooms, and numerous capsule rooms.
The first 10 floors of the mixed use tower are designated as commercial space and include one direct connection to the east side of Lumine Est. The remaining floors up to the top 26th floor are dedicated for designing a hotel with various room sizes. A rotenburo for both sexes and a open air, rooftop tea garden are available for use by hotel guests.
shinjuku station shinjuku, tokyo, japan
Shinjuku is known as one of the most important commercial, administrative, and entertainment districts in Tokyo. Millions of people transfer through the district in a single day for commutes, shopping, business, and entertainment. The streets are constantly full of pedestrians walking about the Lumine center during all hours of the day and night.

green walls The green walls being advocated today are designed and engineered with a support structure. Based on current applications and data from the experience of green roofs, green walls can offer considerable cost savings to both the public and private sectors. For example, the reintroduction of vegetation into cities has been correlated with the reduction of the urban heat island effect, and therefore will reduce energy consumption. Cities are cooler and quieter through shading, evaporative transpiration, and the absorption of sound by green walls. There are two major categories: green façades and living walls . Green façades are wall systems where climbing plants or cascading groundcovers are trained to cover specially designed supporting structures. Plant materials can be rooted at the base of the structures, in intermediate planters, or on rooftops. Green façades can be attached to existing walls or built as freestanding structures. Living walls (also called biowalls, “mur” vegetal, or vertical gardens) are composed of pre-vegetated panels or integrated fabric systems that are affixed to a structural wall or frame. Modular panels can be comprised of polypropylene plastic containers, geotextiles, irrigation, a growing medium, and vegetation. This system supports a great diversity of plant species, including a mixture of groundcovers, ferns, low shrubs, perennial flowers, and edible plants. Living walls perform well in full sun, shade, and interior applications, and can be used in both tropical and temperate locations. Due to the diversity and density of plant life, living walls require more intensive maintenance (regular water, nutrients, fertilizer) than green façades.

chaudiere islands ottawa, canada
This design class required groups to study the areas around Chaudiere Island and it’s neighboring islands, Victoria Island and Albert Island, as well as both of the French and British sides of the Ottawa River that runs through the capital of Canada. While developing mixed use districts within the designated sites, keeping in mind what different local groups desired for the site was highly encouraged. The natives of Canada preferred to rejuvenate the natural state of the islands and leave them completely undeveloped. The National Capital Commission of Canada pushed to have it be a mix of commercial spaces, residential districts, and community recreational parks. The developer wanted to take any advantage to create revenue from the site and cover the islands in businesses. Our job was to find a happy medium within our group designs that benefited everyone involved in the process.
mappings fluvial systems and topography
The intersection of several waterways splits the existing area into different sections. After coming in contact with the center node (known as Ottawa), the waterways change in size dramatically.
urban sprawl
The growth of population within Ottawa’s proximity between the years of 1810 and 2014 has spread throughout the region drastically. Settlements originated on the north side of the Ottawa river in hull, then proceeded to span out past the Chaudiere islands through the mainland of present day Ottawa, and have continued to spread further south.
greenbelt Area of protected, continuous natural environment and zones designated for various land uses such as assigned natural reserves, and areas designated as institutional, agricultural, recreational, commercial, and residential. This greenbelt was originally used to prevent the growth of urban sprawl towards the south, however it failed as populations began to “leap frog� across the belt and continue to spread out across the countryside south of the capital. More recently, this green belt has been repurposed for multiple uses such as the ones listed above. The belt is taking on the role of being an ecological, sustainable, rejuvenating system for the region while being functional and multi-purposeful. The idea of the new Chaudiere Islands development is to connect green spaces and the separated recreational paths of the French and the British side to create a green belt at a much smaller scale that is mainly used for recreational and land rejuvenation purposes. These spaces will allow for brown-fields on the islands to heal and for the community to be able to use these paths to get from one side of the river to the other without any breakage of pedestrian or natural flow.
composite research Using existing elevation studies and sectional research available on the Ottawa River, multiple sections through the site were derived to show the variations of land elevation levels around the islands between the French and British side of the capital. The islands rested closer to the water’s surface. The land on the British side of the Ottawa River increases in elevation height and reaches its peak at the point where the capital sits. Various view corridors were examined from different parts of Chaudiere Island, Victoria Island, Albert Island, and the south riverside of Hull. These two studies were then merged with a palimpsest study of the existing structures to determine what pieces of the present day site would be beneficial to keep and designate as a cultural piece. With these studies of the existing finished, a master plan was then created respecting each piece of research that was completed. Connecting the green spaces together and respecting certain view corridors, layouts for different areas around the islands were created while respecting zone requirements and multiple ownerships of various chunks of land within the build-able site. The main design goal was to be able to connect the French and the British side together not only in a physical manner, but in a social and cultural manner as well
master plan While having two different districts within the site designated mixed use, a need to connect the green spaces on either side of the river is satisfied. Each trail running along the riversides are connected at various moments throughout the site, while allowing for pubic parks and remediation fields to dominate parts of the islands. The new Confederation Boulevard extends to Chaudiere Island and runs by the Canadian War Museum.
land use The Hull side of the Ottawa River will remain mostly of residential buildings, Chaudiere Island will also house some residential spaces for residents. Opportunities for retail and commercial spaces would exist on both sides along with social and civic buildings.

aguadilla puerto rico
On the northwestern tip of Puerto Rico, Aguadilla sits along the shores of the Atlantic ocean. The site of the project sits across the street from the beach, and connects to a public plaza located across a street intersection on the south east side of the site. The goal was to create an residential block with multiple types of apartments for residents to live in. An open space for dominoes tables for the community was required, with additional park space for any activities put together by the residents. Direct view corridors allow for view to the beach from public spaces, with some apartments facing directly to the water.
floor plans ground level and second level
studio 1 590 sq. ft
studio 2 915 sq. ft
two bedroom 1,800 sq. ft
three bedroom 1,815 sq. ft
These floor plans all interlock together to make one organized group of various apartments for residents. Each apartment includes spacious rooms, and porches on either side to encourage interaction with neighbors and the surrounding community. All but one studio has a main room with doubleheighted ceilings with at least one halfbath on the first floor. Each kitchen is built on the ground floor with view corridors to the community park to connect residents with the publics spaces outside.
The design on this residential block is to give various styles of apartments to accommodate multiple family sizes, while giving a sense of style and place throughout each building. Though some apartments are smaller than others, double-heighted main spaces are designed to create a spacious living room for anyone. Allowing for view corridors throughout the less private spaces of each apartment creates a sense of community as residents can watch over children playing outside, or activities going on within the residential community. An assortment of apartments have direct views to the beach, and the entire complex is built on an axis that is directly to the water.
care of making spring 2013. steve cooke.
For the Care of Making assignment I chose to construct a stereo from scratch to use around my apartment. I designed the box to hold the speakers out of wood and used various stains to create the final product. The speakers were taken from a car sound system and wired with a amplifier kit. The wiring is all contained within the box and has a on/off switch, a audio output, a power in, a volume control and base control.
