The competition called for a theater to be developed for student use. This theater reforms traditional teaching theaters because it is situated on a satellite campus and will provide a place for students to live in the building, work and study for school, and preform within one building. The site is located in Downtown Greenville in South Carolina. The building also hosts additional residential units and retail space.

The theater is sited on a dynamic corner condition along Main Street and becomes a focal point on Main Street.

It extrudes from a glass box and responds to an axis formulated from the surrounding site to segment its function as a school, dormitory, retail, residential units, and a theater. The exaggerated structure axis also separates public and private functions of the building.

Access to the site in Greenville is from I-85 (upper corner) and HWY 123 (lower corner.) Because the theater will be accessed by students coming from other schools this is an important component. Greenville as a location for this theater is also central to schools that could potentially be involved in addition to Clemson theater students.

The southern facing student portion of the unit has a courtyard set back from Washington Street. Classrooms and offices are on the first floor and dorms are on the second and third floor.

Design the replacement school for Buist Academy, an academic magnet K-8 school.

The current school is slated for replacement because the unreinforced masonry structure poses a threat in the high risk seismic area of Charleston, South Carolina. Other key issues are the FEMA flood zone requirements that require the building be five and a half feet above ground level while complying with building codes for a school with small children.

The inspiration for the redesign began with a series of case studies. The most influential examples were schools that had flexible learning areas and adaptable hallways to promote intermingling between all year levels. The design for Buist Academy creates open hallways and spaces for students to interact and display their work in. The circulation extrudes from the shell of the building so that its presence is exclaimed.

We tracked how the movement through the site changes by which parts of the market were open or closed. The block is different from all other surrounding blocks in the eixample district with a diagonal pathway. This fostered pedestrian movement, something desirable for the program in the two blocks assigned to redesign.

The word “Barbecue” has several roots. In Western Indian it means “the method by which one slow cooks meat over hot coals.” In the Guyna tribe it is defined as “cheerfully spit roasting captured enemies.” The French translates “from head to toe.” What does Barbecue stand for in South Carolina? Barbecue is a deep rooted southern tradition that has become a ritual in different areas, given people a sense of community, and of course has become a tradition for many families. Picked and Pulled BBQ, sited between Exxon and Bloom grocery in Seneca, South Carolina is a prime site for this retro throwback to a great historic dining method. The restaurant will bring diners back to the roadside culture of BBQ and provide a place to sit back, eat up, and enjoy.

REDISCOVERING GOWANUS

Summer 2010‌I D. Lee‌I Satellite Campus: Manhattan, New York]] 4 Weeks Research | 1 Week Design

The Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York has been in a state of contamination and decay and recently declared a superfund site by the EPA. This two part project began with a group of seventeen students developing a rezoning proposal for the area. The second part of the project was an independent assignment to design a community park, provide new office space for the GCCDC, create a science education center for students, and a museum. This project was completed in collaboration with the client GCCDC, Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation.

For many years, the Gowanus canal gave access to the busy manufacturing and industrial district of Gowanus. With the decrease of maritime shipping in the 1960’s the Gowanus transitioned into a period of decline. Industries began moving out of the Gowanus, while industrial waste continued to collect in the canal.

However, manufacturing, zoning, brown fields, a toxic canal, and general pollution create obstacles for change. In order to alleviate these problems, other incentives will be created to turn the Gowanus region into a model of good sustainable practice measures and prevent further pollution.

__ The Gowanus Canal was constructed

__ The flushing tunnel was constructed __ Maritime shipping decline

In 2005, New York City integrates incentives for incorporating affordable housing within redeveloping neighborhoods for developers. This activates the strength of the city’s housing market to create a mix of units for low- and moderate-income families alongside market-rate apartments.

REDISCOVERING GOWANUS

Recently developers have begun showing an interest in the Gowanus neighborhood, and a concerted effort is being made to clean up and re-purpose the area. In March 2010, the EPA designated Gowanus Canal a Superfund site which has put a hold on construction, but given architects and developers more time to produce new methods for revitalizing the disintegrating condition of the canal.

To keep middle class families working in NYC and allow the city’s economy to grow, Mayor Bloomberg expanded the affordable housing plan to build or rehabilitate 165,000 units by 2013.

The maximum building height canvas created a neighborhood texture that responds to the context of the Gowanus Canal by incorporating surrounding neighborhoods as reference points. Buildings can be taller in areas with a lower topography, specifically within the center of the canal “valley,” and on sites surrounded by tall buildings. This maintains the skyline while allowing economic growth and development.

Mapping Studies/Graphic Experimentation

Architecture is not meant to be learned from books and pictures. The way to understand architecture is to inhabit the space in which it resides. I spent four months living in the heart of the old city of Barcelona, Spain and was able to see an inspiring mixture of an ancient city and cutting edge modern architecture being erected. While abroad I had the privilege to travel through most of Europe and see my textbooks come to life, from seeing Michelangelo’s drawings in Rome, to touring Renzo Piano’s studio in Paris, my eyes were opened to the world of great architecture. These photographs represent the architecture that defined each city for me.

By examining the little details we were able to a much better grasp on the

cultures of New York City and feel more like a local than a visitor in our six weeks here. The texture of each neighboorhood was noted as a way to document and identify experiences.

The lines on the map document the touring routes while in the city.

Make a statement, was the task at hand for this design build project to renovate the secretary’s office in the Clemson Architecture Center in Charleston. A group of

nine by six room. Student J. Jager and I drafted the final design which maximized desk area by spanning the whole nine feet of the long wall and curving up the wall an additional nine feet. Three cube units attach to the wall piece and appear to float on the wall. A file cabinet is at desk nine students collaborated to re-purpose the

level to provide easy access with top opening doors. All pieces were milled to custom thickness from rough cut local maple.

Architecture is a process that requires patience.

A successful design cannot appear out of thin air. A design must be relevant to surroundings, reiterated until most possible solutions have been worked out and then tweaked to near perfection. I love that architecture does not end at dusk and that every day and in any place I can be involved with my career. Studio projects, travelling, intensive team work, and interning have confirmed my desire to become an architect.

An architect appreciates and understands how and why people enjoy the environments that are built around them. Clemson University gave me the opportunity to study in three satellite locations, which

opened my eyes to the world of architecture. First, I spent four months living in the heart of the old city of Barcelona, Spain and was able to see an inspiring mixture of an ancient city and cutting edge modern architecture being erected. While abroad, I had the privilege to travel through much of Europe and see my textbooks come to life. The second satellite location was Charleston a dynamic switch from Europeans trying to escape their past through the ultra modern, to a City that revered its past and buttressed it with a set of strict architectural standards. A historic preservation class through the College of Charleston in addition to Clemson coursework influenced my decision to pursue historic preservation in addition to architecture. The third location was a summer studio in New York City. A team of us lived in lower Manhattan and worked on a master planning project in Brooklyn with several local groups on a design proposal for a community center and a local developer incentive program. Our project was displayed in the fall at the “New New York Street Fair” in Brooklyn.

skills of drafting, model making, creativeness and teamwork makes architecture an exciting field with which I want to be a part of.

Columbia University, with New York as a backdrop, a relevant and thoughtful curriculum, a handpicked top notch faculty, and the ability to collaborate with students who have a passion for architecture, is the place I choose to further my studies in architecture.

The opportunity to have the interaction with architects in the city is a beneficial one. I learned at an exponential rate during my internship with the firm CMPS Architect. The small size of the firm allowed for involvement in every stage of the process and a direct relationship with the lead architect. My employer focused on collaboration; as a small firm she would sub contract out many parts of the process and it gave me the chance to work with many different people in the design and building fields. I learned how many professions work together to make a building.
