BUILDING BOK Bok is a large-scale adaptive reuse project in the heart of South Philadelphia. Built in 1936, the 340,000 sq ft building served as a vocational high school until it was shuttered in 2013 and sat vacant for two years. The building has since been converted into a space for for creatives, makers, and small businesses. Today it is a constantly evolving space that has become a hub in the community, offering affordable work space to over 160 tenants ranging from glassblowers, to hair salons, daycare centers, and woodworkers. Bok is owned and operated by Scout Urban Design and Development, a multi-disciplinary design and development firm with a background in transforming vacant and underutilized spaces in creative ways. Scout’s light-touch approach to renovation aims to respect and repair the building’s found condition and reuse as much as possible.

2016 Young Friends of the Preservation Alliance Award for the project’s approach to adaptive re-use of a historic building

2020 Charter Award from the Congress of the New Urbanism

recognizing exemplary work by those who design and build places people love

Vacant classrooms converted into affordable workspace.

45%

of Bok businesses have never rented space before = there is high demand for affordable workspace

Large-scale spaces such as the rooftop, gym, and autidorium are now used for community gathering and events.

73%

of owners live in the zip code = this project builds on the strengths of the local people

There is potential in even the most unlikely spaces. As owners and operators of the Bok building, our team, Scout Urban Design and Development, grew as the building grew. I was the project manager for the design of our new office. We converted a space that many would see as unleasable: the original exhaust and engine room (which once housed equipment used for heating and cooling the school auditorium).

PIER 26 Located in the Hudson River Park near the Tribeca neighborhood, Pier 26 reaches out and over the Hudson River with striking views to the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center. The 2.5 acre pier is located within the Hudson River Estuary, a highly sensitive and ecologically productive body of water that contains a hybrid of freshwater runoff and ocean saltwater. The pier has a unique mission, providing a physical and virtual space that brings to life the invisible dynamics of the Hudson River Estuary, reflecting the current technologies and scientific understanding regarding its health, ecological successes, and challenges.

SCHOOL-FOR-ALL

Toyo Ito Tokyo Studio Abroad, Fall 2016 Site: Omishima, Japan Critics: Toyo Ito, Jun Yanagisawa, Julia Li Context: The Miyaura-sando was once the heart and soul of Omishima Island, busteling with the culture and activity of locals and visitors moving between the Miyaura Port and the Oyamazumi Shrine. A significant population decline, brought on by urbanization and aging, has caused the port to close, deminishing all vitality of the main street (Miyaura Sando). School-For-All transforms a vacant public bathhouse into an educational and cultural hub.

HISTORICAL RESEARCH Scale Comparison of Property Over Time 1760

102 acres

18 acres

A In 1760 John Righter purchased 102 acres on Mill Creek to construct a dam and build a stone grist and saw mill. The mill operated into the nineteenth century.

The 100 acre estate was subdivided in the 1930s after wealthy owner, James Crosby Brown, lost much of his wealth in the stock market crash. The estate was subdivided and sold separately, at which time the barn most likely saw its first residential addition.

In order to make some income for his family, Crosby made arrangements to hire the firm, Durham & Irving to develop a residential subdivision plan. The residence is part of the Mill Creek Increase National Register Historic District because of the famed architect and its location near the Mill Creek.

WAYFINDING + NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE CHALLENGE: Lost neighborhood identity in Geneva, NY SOLUTION: Rebrand neighborhoods with logos to create a more defined sense of community and enhance pride of place. The goal was to restore each neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity and give residents a more focused sense of place. Through community engagement and on-the-ground research I led the design of a wayfinding and neighborhood identity system. The project was presented to city officials and has been implenmented into several Geneva neighborhoods. The implemented system, signs, and streetsign-toppers have begun to rekindle the unity and pride that had been lost in Geneva.

Geneva Neighborhood Resource Center, Geneva, NY Team: Sage Gerling, Claire Levengoode-Boxer

SURVEY + ANALYSIS

On-site research was the first step in developing a wayfinding and neighborhood identity system. We began by suveying existing signage, nodes, and neighborhood landmarks in several neighborhoods.

In addition to bringing community voices to the table for input in the planning process, we also met people at their tables. An annual community picnic was a great opportunity to learn from neighbors and hear their wants and needs.

ACADEMIC WORK • Franklin Park Thresholds • ULI Hines Competition • The Just City • School-For-All

THRESHOLDS

Franklin Park is the largest space within Olmstedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emerald Necklace but it is unfortunately overlooked and underused. This project creates three different entrances that invite pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists into the park. At each entrance the planting strategy enhances the types and speed of movement, respectively. The visual and bodily experience vary based on a userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s velocity from the ribbed and rhythmic Quaking Aspens at the vehicular entrance, to the under-story bike experience of the Red Twig Dogwood and American Beech combination.

ULI HINES COMPETITION The Midtown Quilt stitches together existing cultural assets while addressing the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban design challenges through a bold public realm plan. Recalling Old Downtown Atlanta, the project creates a street network framing smaller blocks. Rotating the grid creates unique block shapes, which in turn adds texture and color to the neighborhood. Parks, plazas, and shared streets build a pedestrianoriented atmosphere, connect beloved institutions, and stage new civic amenities.

THE JUST CITY A combination of in depth research and community input guided us to propose a design strategy to achieve social and spatial justice in Harvard Square. We had to figure out WHO we were designing for and WHAT was VALUABLE to them in their community. Value-based engagement and design leads to accepting differences and allowing voices to be heard, creating a more just city.

BATHING ROOM The bath once served as a place where people gathered together in one space. A similar function remains in the original bath structure where a new communal table hosts classes, meetings, and gatherings. The original Karan (wash area) becomes a gallery space for Omishima locals to share their history, traditions, and knowlege with eachother and locals, strenghtening their pride of place. Men’s Bathing Room - The bath is repurposed to become a Ashiyu (public foot bath) for a similar gathering behavior as the original onsen.
