Drip Line Lounge Tulane All-School Design Charrette | Fall 2010
The Drip Line Lounge draws inspiration from the ecology of the Live Oak trees found on Tulane’s campus. The pavilion seeks to create a symbiotic relationship between form, structure, and ecology. Hexagonal openings allow users to experience the dappled light from the canopy above while respecting the tree’s drip line: allowing water to percolate through the oak’s irrigation zone to its roots.

CULTIVATING agriCULTURES Competition entry with Thaddeus Zarse | July 2011
Cleveland, Ohio. USA In the process of re-imaging Cleveland, “Cultivate agriCultures� proposes an opportunistic and achievable future based in both pragmatic realities and visionary possibilites. With a goal of architectural instrumentality the design strives to cultivate new educational goals through programmatic innovations, such as the Wellness Center, integrated Community Center, and edible schoolyard, which are organized to optimize connectivity internally between seemingly disparate programs and people. The school proposes a ground-up urbanism within the neighboring university and the surrounding community by developing agricultural programs at school bus pick-up locations.

Beyond the immediate site, the project addresses 3,300 acres of vacant land within city limits of Cleveland in a strategy of “Networked Urbanism”. The school repurposes some of these abandoned lots to create bus stop nodes throughout Cleveland’s neighborhoods for CIS students. The lots will be equipped with a covered shelter made from the former shipping containers of Cleveland’s once vibrant port along with recycling drop-off for the neighborhood. The sites, frequently brownfields, will be planted with plants such as sunflowers which are known for their bio-remediation capabilities.

LOWER NINE PASSIVE HOUSE
BIM 3100 | Spring 2011 | Prof. David Merlin
New Orleans, LA. USA This passive standard housing prototype is designed to meet the needs New Orleanians displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Consistent with the layout of a typical New Orleans shotgun house, living spaces are located closest to the street. A central service core links the living area with private spaces at the back. Consistency with the New Orleans shotgun plan is efficient and restores a semblance of familiarity to displaced families. A tesselated roof funnels rainfall to a central zone along the building periphery before distributing the collected water into a gravel filtration system. The filtration system percolates into a raingarden located at the back of the house. The prototype is elevated to 9’-0� to mitigate flood risk and assist in passive cooling. The sheltered space serves as parking and outdoor recreation space.

FED 2.0: Remediating the Federal Presence DSGN 5100 | Spring 2013 | Prof. Judith Kinnard
New Orleans, LA. USA The network society has reconstituted context. No longer purely defined by the physical spaces that border a property’s parcel, the notion of “site” has appropriated social, political, and ecological dimensions; each of these an uncertain variable. A multidimensional understanding of context has thus prompted a variety of projects primarily determined by their capacity to withstand change. The result is a fugitive state of architecture: one confronted with fleeting content and rapidly changing circumstances. This thesis explores the architectural envelope a medium for negotiating architecture’s fugitive dilemma. The design combines envelope strategies with ephemeral electronic media to synthesize an architectural response to the instability of social and political context.
2 4
Remediating the Federal Presence The U.S. Government’s Design Excellence Program stipulates that courthouse architecture must serve as a visual testimony to the stability and of the judicial system. This thesis integrates social and electronic media as means for public re-appropriation of government symbolism. The design proposes a public media library attached to an existing courthouse. This program is wrapped in an envelope that acts as a low-resolution screen for crowd-sourced content.

ST. ROCH AQUATIC CENTER DSGN 5100 | Fall 2012 | Prof. Ammar Eloueni
New Orleans, LA. USA This is a proposal for an aquatic center and boutique hotel in New Orleans’ St. Roch neighborhood. The center contains competition pools for athletic events, a boutique hotel for travelers, and recreational pools and spas for all visitors. The center is adjacent to New Orleans’ industrial canal. Inspired by the emergent properties of water, the center cultivates a non-linear sequence of space that explores the supposed separation between the project’s three programs. Contained a single volume, the center draws unexpected acoustic and visual connections between programs. The result seeks to establish an elastic sense of space. Elasticity is registered through the density of apertures in the building skin.

The Aqueous Center applies the principle of elasticity to the spatial arrangement of its program. The Center is sheathed in cohesive envelope, yet hosts an array overlapping access zones, program requirements, and ambient qualities. Stretched across the site, the building’s functions percolate from end to end. Spaces drift in scale, intimacy and light exposure as one program flows to another.
AQUATIC
The center’s many programs are stretched in both plan and section. Deformations in plan optimize program adjacency, while section relationships direct views both within the building and to the surrounding context. The Center’s primary aquatic functions are located on a canted surface of terraced pools. Water emerges as the horizontal datum against which the Center’s deformation is read.
Site Plan The center is located along the city’s industrial canal, adjacent to highway overpasses, rail lines, and industrial docks.
