9th Oistat Theatre Architecture Competition The Holzmarkt, 10243 Berlin, Germany Stanley Russel 07 Weeks
During the first half of the semester we were presented with a design competition based off of Berlin, Germany. Located in a growing art district, the site was to be transformed into a floating performing arts theater. This project had to be designed flexible enough in order to have certain components of it move along with the floating theater to other locations on the river. The requirements were a space for a live performance of 200 to 300 people, facilities for the audience like toilets, ticket booth and concession stands, space for technical and mechanical support, backstage accommodations for 20 performers and additional facilities or workshops, rehearsal spaces, offices and storage. My approach to this design was to base it off of temporary art installations, creating a series of permanent and not so permanent structures using very lightweight materials such as wood and fogged plexi glass. The intentions behind using wood posts and panels along with the plexi glass were that these temporary walkways and small buildings could be unassembled, stored in the floating structure and be relocated onto the next site. The site will house the permamet structures like workshops, rehearsal spaces, offices and storage. At the same time, the walkways, ticket booth and concession stand can be disassembled, loaded into the theater and relocated onto different locations down the river. My design also offers a restaurant on site so that when the theater is offering performances elsewhere, the site stays active for locals as well as for the employees who work at the shops and offices.

ABSTRACT PROCESS MODEL | NOT TO SCALE This is an initial abstract study of the site. In the beginning I thought of exploring above ground as well as underground. This model also represent different types of connections between land and water. From this model I gathered the idea of making all the components from my scheme lighter and less permanent. Just like artists come and go, this pieces allow the installation to remain on site as long as they need to.

FINAL PHYSICAL MODEL | NOT TO SCALE This is the final design for the theater. The wooden walkways along with the fogged plexi glass give a very lightweight look and feeling. One can observe how the light glows through but at the same time protects from the weather. Also, one can appreciate here how the structures resemble more of an installation rather than permanent structures, which is the idea behind the entire design.

Chicago’s Museum of Amalgamated Art 814 N. Franklin St., Chicago, Illinois Mark Weston 07 Weeks
The second half of the spring semester was catered to designing a museum of amalgamated art and school of art for the city of Chicago. The structure was to contain four different types of spaces; instructional, a faculty wing, galleries and shared spaces. The instructional and faculty portion of the structure needed a student lounge, studios, shops, an auditorium, offices for the faculty and director of the school and a conference room. In the gallery category we needed to include a permanent exhibition space, student gallery, vault/prep/storage, curators’ office and a loading area. Finally, the shared spaces included a bookstore, cafe, mechanical rooms and lobby. My vision for this structure was to have spaces that were interconnected by either double height-ed spaces or stairs. I wanted to have all the public spaces talking to one another. The lower half portion of the building is entirely public and contains the cafe and gift shop. The top portion of the structure houses the private spaces which are the instructional and the faculty wings. The way I connected both halves was by placing the student gallery right in between the two. The student gallery is the last floor that the public can access but it also symbolized the beginning of new creations and the beginning of the school of art. The inspiration came from a piece by David Mach called “Fuel for the Fire”. He is a Scottish sculpture and installation artist who made pieces out of recycled magazines that take over a space or multiple spaces and their contents. I wanted the atmosphere from each floor in the structure to spill into one another connecting them all.

SACD & Student Living - Downtown Tampa 1110 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, Florida Daniel Powers 16 Weeks
The program for this semester was to create a new and enlarged USF School of Architecture and Community Design with student housing in downtown Tampa. The project required two sets of program, one for the school and a separate one for the housing units. Both sides had to contain a lobby, trash rooms, mail rooms and janitor rooms. The housing section also required a laundry room, game room and quiet room. For the school, we had to provide an administration suite, loading dock, display gallery, classrooms, seminar rooms, a library, material laboratories, computer lab, jury rooms, studios, shops, electrical and mechanical rooms. The way I approached this design was by placing the student housing on top of the school. I wanted the school to be the main focus of the block on the ground floor and at the same time, I wanted to create a very light and thin stacked structure for the student living units, making them look almost floating above the surrounding buildings. This project was a definite challenge and pushed me to other length in order to compose the following floor plans. Each living space and office had to have a view out and the circulation for both programs had to be independent of one another in order to keep a safe and secure environment on both ends of the building.

A Neighborhood Design For Havana, Cuba Centro Havana, Havana, Cuba Jan Wampler 16 Weeks
A Neighborhood Design for Havana, Cuba consists of an intervention in Centro Havana. As you might have heard, Cuba is a land frozen in time and with the new Cuban / American Ties the opportunity to jump in and create a solid design for a neighborhood that benefits the people is big. This project aims to address sustainability and at the same time explores ways in which the culture can be saved and remain intact in a sea of upcoming socioeconomic changes. Team five, the team I was a part of, decided that the best way to tackle this large scale design was to cater to the people of the neighborhood. By applying sustainable designs such as solar and water collection, rooftop and vertical gardens, as well as community gardens we are able to provide people with necessities such as fresh produce for daily consumption and clean water. Also, the larger scale community gardens are able to produce enough produce for the possibility of having a farmers market. The main drive for our entire concept was the fact that Havana lacks green outdoor spaces. We decided to create a large scale park right in the heart of our neighborhood and from there, branch out into the extents of the neighborhood by spilling pockets of green spaces, places to gather and community gardens throughout these branches.

SITE STUDIES During this semester we were lucky enough to be able to actually travel to our site in Havana, Cuba. The class was split into 5 teams and so was the neighborhood. Each team was in charge of recording about 20 - 25 blocks from Zanja Street all the way to the Malecon. The information gathered included building uses, building deterioration, open spaces, empty lots, fallen structures and more. Also, we were to record the way people used the streets, sidewalks and their homes. We recorded traffic patterns, types of vehicles used and the feel of the neighborhood.

JUNK MODEL | DRAFT One of the study models for the project was to create a model out of found objects. This model was the initial phase to beginning the physical models for the course. Mix-matching pieces of computer and type writer parts, the first concepts of the scheme start to arise. With this junk model we were able to determine which connections in the neighborhood were most important to us and which spaces where the ones that we wanted to highlight the most. At this point we decided that we wanted to the neighborhood to engage more with the Malecon which is an essential part of their culture. Just like people hang out and interact on the Malecon, we wanted to translate that interaction to the heart of the neighborhood and to the outskirts of it as well. Green spaces became extremely important to our scheme and pretty much the entire drive for this project.

JUNK MODEL | FINAL This is the final design for the junk model. The red piece in the middle represents the heart of our design. This piece is a large scale park surrounded by civic, public and educational buildings. We also created a series of spiders that branch off of the center of the park. The white pieces along the spiders represent open spaces, recreational spaces or community gardens. In this scheme you are also able to see our beginning idea of connecting the neighborhood to the bay.

THE SPACE BETWEEN | FINAL This is a space in between model. This model is an abstract representation of what happens in between buildings and on public paths of travel. The darker the color blue gets, the more concentrated activity is in that spot. This is how you record where people transit the most, what places they gather in the most and which areas are kept the busiest. In our scheme, the darker blue represents an open green space and the lighter blue represents the path of travel.

Spring Boils Trail Tea House Silver Glen Springs, Salt Springs, Florida Stanley Russel 16 Weeks
The Japanese Architecture course consisted of weekly class presentations and readings in order to better understand the contemporary Japanese built environment, which is a mixture of local, regional and global influences. The course required us to design a screen out of a found object. This screen was the first piece to a larger compomponent that would later be designed, the tea house. Just like the Japanese, we had to design our own Kiwari system, a system of measurements, and we had to incorporate our screen system into the tea house in order to create enclosures, separations or visual effects. The Spring Boils Trail Tea House is modeled after the standard sizes of a news paper. Depending on how the newspaper was folded, the sizes for walking, seating, and eating spaces were created. For example, two full size open newspapers are the model for the walkway and a full newspaper folded into 1/4 is the size for a seat. The concept was to dtermine the minimal space needed for each person to enjoy tea determined by the size of a newspaper, which is an item we see every day but are quick to toss away. Apart from creating the module for the tea house, the newspaper is also converted into 6� to 12� rolls which are weather treated and stacked as partial height walls along the seating area. The walls only go up to 2 .5 feet which is enough for a person to have a view of the surrounding environment once they are seated. Along the walkway that runs by the tea house, additional seating is provided under the shade for those who await their turn.

Sarasota House Washington Drive, Sarasota, Florida Michael Halfants 16 Weeks
For Tropical Architecture, we had to design a house for a typical family of four. The location of the site, in Sarasota, had to abide by the St. Armands Building Code. The code left us with quite a small site due to the set backs and also a very elevated home, due to the flood zone requirements. Our design had to include a garage or carport, a pool, storage, a guestroom, master suite with master bath and a space for the children to do homework. As one walks into the home, one is greeted by a facade of sliding-folding doors that if weather permits, open up entirely to the outside. This doors reveal the swimming pool that sits alongside the house. When the doors are open, the breeze from the bay swips up air and cools it off as it passes over the pool and into the house. Once one is past the narrow hallway, the house opens up into a three story space. This is where the kitchen and dining area are located. The atmosphere of the house allows you to host your guest and make them feel right at home. Also, the east facade is made entirely out of glass and the bottom portion opens up completely to the outdoors. The house is meant to be opened up and let people enjoy the outside indoors. The common areas such as the family room, homework room and kitchen have a very open floor plan giving the house and its guest the feeling of connection with one another no matter where one is inside the home. Finally half of the third floor becomes a green terrace, once more incorporting plants and fresh air into the design.
