chicago children’s hospital
chicago childrens hospital Located at the intersection of Clark and Harrison in downtown Chicago, this proposal for the Children’s Specialty Hospital addresses the idea of “publicness” and visual interaction between the interior enviroment of the building and the exterior public realm of the city. Rather than being and a completely internalized, isolated entity, this proposal addresses the urban fabric of Chicago’s Printer’s Row area with a “public wrapper” that starts at the base of the northern face of the building, wrapping up along the façade, through the large public floor, and up once more along a northern face. The wrapper steps back from the site property line to provide a small northern porch, covered by undulating, faceted glass which visually draws attention to the dietary and community services floor, the main floor of public interaction between users of the hospital. Once on this floor, people have access to an outdoor patio overlooking Clark Street. Once again, the faceted public wrapper reveals itself, climbing on the northern facing façade which encloses one set of family waiting areas. There is also an additional set of family rooms area that sits separately from the wrapper as its own volume. However, its placement allows for a very public visual interaction with the patio area and street below. The patient floor plan reveals it self to be a kinked “z” shape, with a focus on a long axis across the site which conclude in public areas that allow views outward. The kink allows for small reading/play areas to exist on either end, allowing the long corridor to be both a means of circulation and a place of inhabitation.

Patient Privacy with Outward Visual Public Engagement
Visual Connectivity of the Public Realm
The hospital program within an urban context calls for need to address the project at multiple scales. The first two are the scale of the city and the building in regards as to how the building responds to surrounding context. This is addressed primarily through the public wrapper that attempts to visually engage users of the building with the exterior, while also allowing user to not become too isolated within. The third is the scale of the hospital room. While the goal of the public volumes of the building is to be connected and engaged, the hospital room must do just the opposite. It is important that patients within the room maintain a sense of privacy and comfort, leading to the use of vertical fins along the southern and western faces of the building. These fins not only provide shade to the interior, but also enough visual privacy that people from the street and adjacent family rooms have very litte visibility to the interior while still allowing patients and their visitors a view out into the city.

vine city walk
As part of a four person team representing the Auburn University chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architecture student organization, this project was entered into and won the 2011 NOMA student design competition. Situated in the Ashby and Vine City neighborhoods of Atlanta, Georgia, the project called for a sort of business center which would house a sustainble grocery store, retail spaces, a visitor center with gallery space, MARTA station, and a 500 car parking garage. Our team sought a unique approach to the project, seeing the demanding call for the 500 car parking garage as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Rather than hiding the parking underground, we designed the parking area in such a way that it could easily accommodate future programmatic uses.

Summer and Fall 2011
The urban fabric in the Ashby and Vine City neighborhoods has often been punctuated by what Dana Cuff would call “convulsive” change throughout its history. War, weather, and slum clearance have been three factors that have fuelled this discontinuous pattern of development. There was always a shortage of affordable housing in Atlanta – the neighborhood itself was the product of westward expansion. But large events and large projects disproportionally affected African-American communities. Smaller projects do not have enough weight to respond to such larger-scale shifts in community needs; larger developments do. However, the tendency of large-scale developments to move towards functional specialization restricts them from being able to adapt to the neighborhood’s needs in the future. A typical structure for a “big box” supermarket doesn’t easily convert to housing; a typical parking garage layout doesn’t easily convert to local retail. As a result, larger projects fall harder. Often, these large projects are torn down and rebuilt en masse. This causes significant disruptions of the community, and in the end resulted in fewer housing units, retail, and institutions. Each rebuilding cycle actually exacerbates the underlying problems. Even if the individual buildings of a large project are relatively small, the total project degrades uniformly and each building expires at the same time.
Recent Large Scale Changes in Time and Space
A community Village Walk Center hopes to serve as a “community incubator” by providing the best of both worlds – the economic impact of a largescale development plus the adaptability of smaller-scale projects. The superimposition of multiple future building scenarios creates for a project that can be renovated into various functions as the community needs change. Parking for the MARTA station can be renovated into housing, retail, or even offices. In addition to the quantitative issues such as egress and floor plate dimensions, there are qualitative aspects that allow the parking to superimpose functions. The “big box” facing Lena Street and adjacent to the grocery store offers the potential to become a farmer’s market over the weekend. Double-height spaces on upper levels of parking may be partitioned off for private events without disrupting access to parking for the event. In addition to meeting practical needs over time, the facility anticipates the cultural aspirations of a resilient community, educating visitors on where the neighborhood has been and where it might possibly go in the future. The result is a building that reflects the movement of its community at two levels – movement in space as the pleasure of everyday comings and goings, and movement in time as the progress of the community over time.
Incubation Energy generation provides subsidies for fledgling offices and retail. Small businesses are organized into a destination to host markets and festivals, activating the corner park and the Kipp Academy playground. Once established, growing businesses move into the neighborhood.

Anticipation of Future Use To reinforce the idea of movement in time and potential reuse, details must be considered to anticipate adaptation to future uses. The present proposal displays a second floor parking area above retail spaces. However, the edge of this parking slab is detailed to accomodate drainage for future outdoor patios coupled with future housing.

recrafting interiors and social space
recrafting interiors and social space
This design proposal was for the existing industrial building located at 2405 First Avenue South, Birmingham, AL. The building, constructed in 1910, was originally used as a flourmill and seed shop, later used by a glass company to construct and stock custom windows and doors. The hypothetical client, new owner of the 2405 First Avenue South loft, was a designer and business entrepreneur with expertise in contemporary craft culture who founded the Utilitarian Craft Lab. The Lab, located at 2405 First Avenue South combined with the adjacent empty lot, houses workshop/lecture/meeting spaces, gallery/retail space, studios for craftsmen, artists, and designers to work and collaborate, shared workshop/equipment spaces, office to facilitate social network partnerships, outdoor studio/meeting/gathering spaces with a sheltered market space for community members to sell utilitarian craft works. The relationship of this proposal with nearby Railroad Park, due to its proximity and the possible expansion of the park in the northeastern direction, as shown to the far left, is also essential.

Summer 2011
Manifold Operation Prior to the recrafting interiors project, the studio was assigned the Manifold Operations project. This premise of this project was to redesign the interior of what was formerly a factory building to accomodate three different program types: a restaurant, a metal fabrication shop, and a live/work facility. These program types were to be thought of independently yet simultaneously: that is to say that the building envelope would house each of these programs in different “lives� yet should be capable of adapting to house each of the program types with minimal change to the interior. Considerations that contribute to the universal adaptation of the proposal between the program was addressed not only through spatial sequence and qualitative experience, but also practical issues such as plumbing, circulation, and exit locations. With a primary focus on the restaurant, this proposal implements a set of courtyards that was intended to reduce the vast open space of the warehouse to smaller, intimate dining areas that were directly adjacent to the exterior. Increasing natural daylight to the interior, these court yards also have the capacity to grow food for use by the restaurant, so a person may experience the process of food preparation from the field to the plate.

Street Edge with outdoo market under outdoor installation gallery Building on the previous iteration, the recrafting interiors and social space project implements the much of the same interior spatial organization. However, with the adjacent exterior lot now a factor, this proposal attempts to blur the boundary between the interior and exterior. Given the program of this proposal and the previously mentioned possible Railroad Park expansion, there was was an attempt to create as much social interaction at the street edge of the site as possible in order to engage possible users of the park with the social interaction of the park. Therefore, an outdoor market space supporting an installation gallery as well as the indoor retail space are placed as the edge to attract users to the site.

In order to help develop the project to become more specific and realistic, the studio was encouraged to select specfici crafts. Designer Stephen Burks was selected for this proposal. His design philosophy of developing local craft to become something of worldwide quailty is something that would contribute well to the overall creative environment of the craft lab. The studio was designed in particular for the craft of Senegalese basket weaving, which helped to inform storage and furniture needs. The Joyn tables of the Bouroullec brother were selected due to the durability of the aluminum and te flexibility of partions. The Osso chair was also selected from these designers due to the high level of craftsmanship. Furthermore, hydraulic equipment of Schweiss Inc was selected for the opening door between the studio space and outdoor work space.

Adjacent to Piazza Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, this ludoteca or “place of play” sits on a long, narrow site sandwich between the church of Santa Cecilia and and elementary school. The program, intended to also be and children’s educational center, includes a visitor’s desk, gymnasium. outdoor play area, library, classrooms. small cafeteria, and infant care. Given the historic nature of the site, there was a special emphasis on the idea of the “piano nobile” that is so prevalent in Roman archicture. The piano nobile, or main floor, is where the outdoor play area occurs, intending to be an open, free flowing space that breaks through the free standing screen of the facade to allow views out into the street and piazza.
trastevere ludoteca 37
The projcet was conceived as three programmatic volumes with an inserted organic plane, enclosed by a facade that addresses thmajor site conditions
The proposal for the ludoteca resonds to two major site conditions: the Via del Porto and the corner facing Piazza Santa Cecilia. its is at these places that the two point of entry are placed in order to give some natural sense of an entry sequence. It is here that the facade of the project, perceived as a free standing veneer, steps back and punctures to mark these entries. the facade is also pierced to allow natural light to enter into the piano nobile of outdoor play area. Behind the facade sits three volumes of program connected by a vertical circulation anda bridge, which all define the free flowing, organic geometry of the outdoor play area. The free form plane also begins to spill out through the punctures of the facade to create balcony conditons that overlook the street and piazza.

For the past 20 years, the Rural Studio has helped develop Newbern, Greensboro, and sourround areas of Hale County. Now it is time that the Rural Studio help itself. As part of the Rural Studio Revolution, our twelve person team developed a strategic masterplan to utilize our resources to become self-sufficient in food, energy and material production. After evaluating our resoruces, we determined the first course of action was development of food production. Looking to local experts and drawing on professional consultation, the first step was the establishment of a greenhouse structure that would allow for longterm, yearround food production.
rural studio strategic masterplan 45
The first step in beginning the Rural Studio Revolution was to evaluate our resources in order to maximize their potential. Production of food, energy, and building materials can potential occur on all properties, both owned and rented. Assuming that future acquisiton of rented properties, we diagrammed which properties would best be utilized as centers of production. Once determining this, we outlined possible production schedules over the next five years.

Determining that food production would be the first step in the journey toward self-sufficiency, Morrisette House was chosen as the center of food production. In order to expand upon an already existing kitchen garden, we redeisgned the campus by moving vehicular circlation to allow space for more planting space and placement of the greenhouse. After multiple iterations, we determined the optimal sectional profile to maximize efficiency. In order to prevent waste, the greenhouse and accompanying seedhouse are modular and capable of being duplicated to increase the overall size of the structure.

auburn recrafting universtity interiors arboretum and social space
auburn university arboretum
Located on the southeastern edge of Auburn University’s campus, the arboretum acts a place of natural preservation to hundreds of species of plants native to Alabama. This beautiful yet fairly unknown part of the campus also acts as an educational center to visiting elementary, middle, and high school kids, while also being a vast testing ground for the agricultural and associated departments. However, the current office/educational facility is failing to properly meet the needs of the managers of the arboretum, lacking sufficient classroom and laboratory space for visitors. Therefore, our studio was asked to each develop a proposal for a 5,000 square foot facility that would house two large classrooms, office space, laboratory space, and an outdoor classroom/event space. Given the site of the arboreturm, the idea of creating a biomimetic structure seemed appropriate.

This proposal’s roof and ceiling composition performs similiarly to that of a tree canopy. Primary structural columns support secondary girders, which then support tertiary structural members. The beams overlap each other in such a way to create natural shading, yet still allow light to pass through. In between these layers, photovoltaic glazing is inserted to not only harvest solar energy, similar to the photosynthetic process of the leaves of a tree, but to create a translucent shading effect.

Located on steeply sloping site along the edges of Lake Martin, Alabama, this 2,500 square foot house responds to the site by both working with and against the slope in section. The as one enters the house, the options are presented to either move up the stairs to the master bedroom suite, or down the stairs to the main level or interaction. Perceiving each piece of program as a volume, the house was also organized to create blocks and voids of inhabitable outdoor space. Furthermore based on a structural and construction idea of four loadbearing walls, the house is spatially organized to act within these constraints while some volumes break through the rigidity of the walls as necessary.

Fall 2010 In continuing the idea of handcraft, our Rural Studio Revolution team was also the first to establish a now ongoing tradition of the exploration and understanding of famous furniture pieces. Similar to drawing in Rome, by attempting to reproduce these pieces, we began to truly understand issues of proportional relationships and construction techniques. Attempting to reproduce these industrially made pieces with basic woodshop tools presented an interesting yet engaging challenge.

concrete facade panels Fall 2011
Given a hypothecitcal site in Auburn, AL, this project consisted of the design of prefabricated concrete panels to compose the facade of a bare, five story concrete structure. As leader of a team of four, the intention was to use maximize prefabrication methods by using only two types of panels, while allowing depth and undulation in the overall design of the elevation. In order to allow for ease of installation, each panel is approximately 8 feet in length and width, with 2 feet depth. Two panels cover the 16 foot floor to floor height. Each panel is connected as three corners, allowing the fourth corner to have a floating effect inspired by Tadao Ando’s Church of Light.
