PORT TAMPA CITY LIBRARY EXTENSION Fall 2016 | Core Design 3 | Professor Michael Halflants
For this project, I was to renovate and design an extension to the Port Tampa City Library, a neo-classical building constructed in 1926. The concept for my design was to create something that would contrast with the heavy masonry walls and columns of the existing structure. The delicate columns of the extension follow the spacing of the original and the new is wrapped by an airy, folding roof that provides plenty of light to the spaces below through numerous cuts. This allows both the old and the new to have its own identity without overwhelming the other.

HIGH LINE ANNEX OF THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM Fall 2016 | Core Design 3 | Professor Michael Halflants
For this project, I was to design an annex for the Morgan Library & Museum located on the High Line Elevated Park. The annex was to provide additional archive / exhibit space for the library’s collection. A large plaza leads you into the building from the street and the entrance on the High Line is marked by a large, slanting glass mass, in which are located various office and meeting spaces. The library occupies the top three floors of the building, allowing visitors extensive views of the High Line and the city.

COLLABORATIVE URBAN PATH STATION GATEWAY Summer 2017 | Urban Regeneration Workshop / Advanced Design Studio | Professor Josue Robles Caraballo
As part of a workshop sponsored by the Aberdeen City Council, this project asked my colleagues and I to propose a scheme that would enhance the pedestrian experience of the Station Gateway area of the Aberdeen City Centre. Key components of our proposal which I was in charge of included the exterior renovation of the Aberdeen Market and creation of The Deck, an exterior intervention that connects the market to a plaza known as The Green, and a network of street coverings that serve as a wayfinding system and connect pedestrians to the many attractions of the Gateway area.

The purpose of these photographs was to study the movement patterns of the pedestrian. Where do the people go? Where do they linger? This was to determine which spaces were used for gathering and which were used for passing through. It also allowed us to analyze which spaces are in need of an intervention. The Green was used primarly as an occassional transition space and the plaza was rarely used. St. Nicholas Street and Belmont Street are both nearby but experience far more activity. This study allowed us to examine ways that could be used in order to make The Green more like these active spaces, and how to make The Green a place that people would want to go to. Netherkirkgate experiences a lot of foot traffic, so converting Carnegies Brae into a pedestrian corridor would lead many people into The Green. However, an intervention would need to be designed that

NEW COLLEGE OF FLORIDA’S BAYFRONT CAMPUS Spring 2018 | Advanced Design Studio | Professor Michael Halflants
For this project, we were to propose a new master plan for the New College of Florida’s Bayfront Campus in Sarasota. The proposal includes new event spaces, classrooms / lecture spaces, and student housing facilities that can accomodate 800 additional students. These components are linked by a network of plazas and green spaces connected by pedestrian paths that extend from the at the eastern edge of the campus along Bay Shore Road to the events pavilion along the bay.

Bay
The most desirable feature of the New College of Florida Campus is its waterfront along Sarasota Bay. However, we feel that the campus as it exists today is not making the most of this significant asset. Our goal in proposing this master plan is to create a connection between the campus core, located along Bay Shore Road, and the waterfront. To achieve this, we organized our proposed academic buildings along the north side of the campus, stretching from Bay Shore Road to the Keating Center. The connecting feature of our proposal is to design our proposed buildings around exterior courtyard. We feel that this feature will encourage students, faculty, and visitors to connect, be and stay active, and enjoy the beautiful landscape that this campus offers. This idea of the courtyard as a source of connection and activity is also incorporated in our design of the residential village, located toward the south side of the campus. The campus will also be connected through a network of pedestrian paths and bicycle paths, further encouraging activity. Anchoring the connection between the campus core and the waterfront is the Pavilion, a large, multi-use event space, whose amphitheatre and pier will lead people right to waterfront and allow this area to be used often and enjoyed by all on campus.

TRACINGS + THICKNESS FLORIDA’S WETLANDS Fall 2018 | Landscape Urbanism | Professor Brian Cook
For this project, I was to study the function and process of Florida’s interior wetlands and create a graphic report of the different ecological zones. As the name suggests, wetlands are areas whose soils are relatively wet, either permanently or at intervals for significant periods. These areas support a predominance of plants that are adapted for life in water-saturated soils that are low in oxygen. Interior wetlands include marshes, bogs, and swamps with standing or flowing water.

URBAN GROWTH 1938-2018 The urban growth in this portion of Hillsborough County was exponential between 1938 and 2018. The following diagrams highlight different elements that may have contributed to the “shape” of this growth. These elements include a canal, a railroad line, and an electrical line.

LANDSCAPE CHANGE 1938-2018 With urban growth comes change in landscape. The following diagrams highlight different changes to the landscape that may have been caused by the urban growth in this area. These changes include sea level rise as well as the expansion and loss of mangroves.

Wetlands are areas whose soils are relatively wet, either permanently or at intervals for significant periods. They are saturted or inundated by surface water or ground water frequently enough, or for long enough, to support a predominance of plants that are adapted for life in water-saturated soils that are low in oxygen.

OPEN WATER
EDGES : Upland & Open Water
Wetlands are typically located between upland ecosystems and open water bodies, acting as a buffer zone between the two.
ZONE 1 : Marsh
A marsh is a wetland dominated by herbs that are rooted in saturated soil on which water stands for much of the year.

A bog is any site where the ground is wet and spongy. Wetlands known as bogs may have predominately herbs or shrubs.
Pond pine
A swamp is a forested wetland, that is, wetlands with trees. They can be either standing or flowing-water wetlands.

BELOW THE SURFACE
ZONE 1 : Marsh
Water flows across surface
Water moves down slope toward depression, collects there
Dry Sand (Above Waterline) Wet Sand (Surfacial Aquifer)
Limestone
Aquatic organisms will burrow underground during dry season, reemerge when water levels rise again
Clay or Gummy Sand (Impermeable to Water)
Water flows laterally within the ground because the underlying aquaclude blocks its downward percolation. At some point along the slope, the flowing water emerges onto the surface of the ground and flows across it. This is where the wetland begins.
Water from the aquifer moves laterally through the sand, emerges onto the surface, and flows across the slope until it reaches a depression where the water can collect.
64/65
ZONE 2 : Bog
Water move slowly down gradual slope of bog toward swamp
ZONE 3 : Swamp
The cypress trees thick canopy prevents sunlight from making its way to the ground of the swamp
Accidic soil caused by the decomposition of plants in the shaded areas at the base of the trees
Herb Bog Shrub Bog
Because of the aquaclude, water moves slowly across the surface of the bog. Dead plants decompose slowly in the water, making it accidic. This makes it hard for plants to live, other than those that flourish in these conditions.
The cypress trees thick canopy prevents sunlight from making its way to the ground of the swamp. This prevents smaller shrubs and grasses from growing.
