College of Mt. St. Vincent The Dormitory at the College of Mt. St. Vincent in Riverdale, Bronx, explores the relationship between student and faculty housing and the impact of the architecture to the rest of the campus. The exercise began with a series of site analyses in which the flow of movement and centers of activities were observed. The building acts as a threshold between the academic and the residential and reinforces social hubs formed by existing residential buildings.

JMB center

spring 2012 · adam hayes ccny spitzer school of Architecture

location: HAMILTON HEIGHTS, NYC

The J. Max Bond Center at the CCNY Spitzer School of Architecture practices interdisciplinary designs and interventions that focus on urban reformations in American cities.

Founded in 2011, the center has lived to the vision of J. Max Bond on the Just City in its dialogues. Toni Griffin, professor of architecture and director of the JMB Center, had asked students to develop schematic designs for the new center. Our team focused on versatile spaces with sliding panels, and explored the possibilities of various functions of spaces to encompass the center’s needs. team members: cindy diaz jasmine ibrahim sue liu caroll patino melinda siew william tran jessica tseng

“Create the intervention of a new

identity.

Allow this identity to hold the community together, reaching balance in the end.

[The identity is the] relationship to the school and the community.

[The] legacy left behind inspires and educates our rapid evolution.

Unifying a diverse population, a whole as well as individual.

The Just City is our goal.

The advocate of diversity resonates throughout.

Intertwine and synthesize two spaces in one.

Balance between communities pervades through the design of the space.

Just Diversity manifests its intentions rough sight and access.

Establishing the J. Max Bond Center exists by identifying the presence.�

name: Sway House architect: Atelier Bow-wow location: Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan year: 2006-2008

precedent study:

Atelier Bow-Wow’s Sway House led the way to a series of investigation for a single family residential unit. The architects redefined the hierarchy of spaces through the vigorous use of split levels. Atelier Bow-Wow explored their ideology of “lively space” in this project: a space that willingly endures and molds to a site’s fws rather than denying or attempting to restrain them. team members: paige rittenhouse jessica tseng 1 floor plans 2 interior photo collage 3 program diagram model

winter garden

fall 2011 · elisabetta terragni ccny spitzer school of Architecture

It all begins with a

love story...

“Winter garden for an entomologist� was the given program for this design exercise. A series of sliver sections displays the morphing process of the winter garden space through the telling of a complicated love story, in which the main protagonist, Mister Entomologist, mediates between his passion for entomological research and his first lady, Miss I-don’t-reallylike-bugs. team members: melinda siew jessica tseng

architectural intervention: location: Chelsea, NYC

Located in Chelsea, NYC, the Highline serves as a backdrop for this exercise of architectural intervention.

The neighborhood offers a rich culture and history of the industrial scene, from which this project was conceived.

An elevated, hung walkway connecting to the Highline redirects the flow of public into the experience of the intervention. A rectangular volume of live-work spaces seemingly floats above a sea of trees, which mediates between the architectural volume and the Highline.

threshold

fall 2009 · johanna dickson ccny spitzer school of Architecture

“THRESHOLD”,

is an introductory project that all first-year students must tackle when they first set foot in the Spitzer School of Architecture. We must define threshold and explore ways to spatially and graphically represnt our ideas.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.”

I defined threshold as a process of growth. Each frame, varying in size and orientation, represents a decision of action that one undertakes. The movement through these frames then marks the overall experience of growth.

Our team

aims to reactivate the rooftop space by redesigning its spatial experience. The installation attempts to instigate curiosity of occupants in the building, students and faculty alike, and to draw people to the rooftop in an upward movement. We make our intervention in the built environment by installing a canopy resembling clouds over the amphitheatre. The installation is metaphorical of bringing the sky down to human scale. It gives an ephemeral sense with its airy translucency and its constant swaying in the wind.

The Event of a Thread “No two voices are alike. No event is ever the same. Each intersection in this project is both made and found.

All making is an act of attention and attention is an act of recognition and recognition is the something happening that is thought itself.�
