Project_01 Ashby MARTA Station and Visitor Center: 2011 NOMA National Design Competition

Design Team: Kevin Nyguyen, Kim Nyguyen, Ivan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;garro, Elizabeth Galan, Erica Geromini, and LaQuinton Nimox Location: Vine City Community, Atlanta, Georgia The success of the Civil Rights Movement stems from the emergence of multiple leaders, some less recognized than others, working in concert to attain equality for all. The design draws upon the ideas of multiplicity and aggregation as the impetus to social gathering, pedestrian circulation, programmatic arrangement, and architectural form. As the main transportation hub of the area, the proposed project encourages pedestrian traffic on multiple levels on the site. The ground level hosts a variety of open and intimate public spaces for neighborhood residents and visitors to gather. This serves as a destination for visitors in the greater Atlanta region, while simultaneously providing public areas and green spaces for residents of Vine City. The ground level also engages the lower subterranean, as well as the upper visitor center level through a series of vertically oriented circulatory, spatial and visual connections.

The existing MARTA entrance brings the user through a modest building down to the platform below. Our design proposal draws commuters and visitors up from the MARTA platform to engage with the plaza level and retail spaces. The proposed design seeks to strengthen this connection between spaces on multiple levels by opening the ground level to below, resulting in a design solution that blurs the boundaries between the various elevations, promoting and encouraging the use of public transportation. In addition, the gallery floors of the Visitors Center intend to reveal and visually connect the pedestrians and activities occurring outdoors with the visitors in the galleries. and vice versa.

Project_02 Chapel to Nature: Place for Memory + Loss Design Studio IV, Fall 2009

Location: LUMCON, 8124 Highway 56, Chauvin, Louisiana

The challenge of this project was to create a non-denominational space that serves as a space for Memory and Loss. It required spaces that helped the user remember the environment, the wetlands, and the past. A space for memory and loss focuses on the environment and welcomes visitors while being a reminder of the natural beauty that is, that was, and that may or may not be. To respond to the challenge set forth for a Chapel to Nature, the notion of what makes a sacred space was kept in mind. By making the Chapel an integral part of the LUMCON experience, interaction between the water and chapel was clearly encouraged. This interaction is aimed at seclusion from the manmade and intimacy with nature on a personal and spiritual level.

This structure is designed as a landscape focusing device--a mechanism through which the experience of this coastal area, from the reconstruction of the canal to the catastrophic loss of the wetlands is made manifest. The design of the Memory and Loss spaces are informed by the idea of transition from mass to void; this reflects the connection of the coast where the structure resides. The construction is made in a way that shows our transition from a closed minded society who ignore the issue of coastal wetland loss to one that is openminded and embraces the idea of protecting this priceless resource.

The One Day Poem Pavilion by Jiyeon Song was an important precedent for how the individual reflection space would operate. Its perforated skin allows light to penetrate the ground at precise angles that result in the illumination 03 of a poem over the course of a day. This idea of using light and shadow in the individual reflection space was important to tell the story of the wetlands through facts and figures. 04

Project_03 Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center: 2011 Virginia Tech Student Design Competition Design Team: Maragaret Morrison, Wei Cao, and LaQuinton Nimox Location: Marlin Bay Drive, Norfolk, Virginia DIDACTIC LANDSCAPE: DESIGN: The design intent of our project was to create The design strategy took the form of point, a didactic landscape by providing tangible line and plane. Initially developed as a way to connections to the ecology of the site. Two work on a team of 3. types of ecologies are revealed: hydraulic cycles and wildlife habitation. Hydraulic cycles revealed in the site include stormwater filtration and sedimentation, both of which are indicative of processes occurring throughout the larger Chesapeake Bay region. Our proposed design demonstrates potential strategies which can be implemented in other areas throughout the bay. These hydraulic cycles reveal the similarities between our site and many others within the region, highlighting the wildlife situates this site as unique from many others within the Chesapeake Bay in general and the Chesapeake Bay watershed in particular.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is a group dedicated to saving the bay. Currently, on a scale of 1 to 100, the CBF rates the Bay’s health at a 31 out of 100; for context, a pristine bay from the 17th Century rates 100—and at the lowest point in the 1980s, the bay scored a 23. A “Saved Bay” would score a 70. Some years ago, the CBF and others opposed development on a prime piece of bay front land. When the economy faltered, the developer went bankrupt, and the CBF, the Trust for Public Land, and the City of Virginia Beach offered to purchase the land from the bank. This pristine site, adjacent to a densely developed part of Virginia Beach, is to be the site of your project, an environmental

The surfaces show horizontal space for activities, with the lines show the high density pedestrian movement, while the points are representing the follies on this point-grid coordinate system. This served as a successful precedent that was implemented in the design of our education center.

Wildlife Observation Structures Concept: ‘stillness’ Built form: structures designed for sitting and viewing wildlife

BALD EAGLE Potential Habitat criteria: - mature shoreline forests with scattered openings - prefers loblolly pine - minimum buffer 100’ from human

DIDACTIC LANDSCAPE: The design intent of our project was to create a didactic landscape by providing tangible connections to the ecology of the site. Two types of ecologies are revealed: hydraulic cycles and wildlife habitation. Hydraulic cycles revealed in the site include stormwater filtration and sedimentation, both of which are indicative of processes occurring throughout the larger Chesapeake Bay region. Our proposed design demonstrates potential strategies which can be implemented in other areas throughout the bay.

OSPREY Potential Habitat criteria: - open water areas - dead snag, utility pole or nest platform - can live in colonies if food is abundant - minimum buffer 100’ from humans

Project_04 Crosby Arboretum: Interpretive Center Design Studio IV, Fall 2009

Location: 370 Ridge Road, Picayune, Mississippi

The Interpretive Center at the Crosby Arboretum will be developed using the various programmatic components to embody and reveal the spirit of the site for visitors. During the visit to the site, many observations were made concerning the plethora of spatial characteristics displayed throughout the different ecosystems and how they respond to each other. These spatial characteristics were the inspiration for the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design to unveil new ideas from the arboretum that the visitor will experience. By using architecture to heighten ones awareness of their surroundings, the center will partner with the Pinecote Pavilion on an endeavor for a much needed balance of attention at the arboretum to create a whole and allow for interpretation of the area.

The program elements of the center will be used to orient, occupy, and arrange. The relationship between the public and private space will be revealed through their separation. This is important because the overall idea of separate pieces to create cohesion brings the concept of parts to whole dynamic to this site. Different types of construction will further develop ideas about the programmatic elements. The spaces will orient the visitors by setting up an experience of the site in a particular manner. Voids and open space will be used to gather and as a sort of meeting area before visitors continue onto the various public spaces. The pieces together will create more architectural moments that build an interpretation of the area. After experiencing, visitors will be launched into the woodland space on a trail to view the Pinecote Pavilion.

01 02 03 04 Crosby Arboretum: Intrepretive Center

The Pinecote Pavilion plays a major role in this undertaking. It serves as a precedent for the Interpretive Center in its service to the landscape, particularly the woodland and wetland, through orchestrated pathways. As a landmark, the pavilion and its relationship to the wetlands orients visitors and utilizes the trails through the woodland as a way of exploring the arboretum. The pavilion uplifts the wetland which has the least acreage to the most dominate standing. With these actions, it lacks in its neglect of the savanna area that is only experienced at the beginning of the arrival journey. The Interpretive Center will pick up where the pavilion left off by setting the savanna on a higher pedestal. The center will engage the site by using the existing conditions strategically with added features that create a coherent composition. Engagement means to bring together or interlock which will be achieved using the pavilion and the center. Although the arrival journey goes through the three ecosystems, the savanna seems to be neglected in this act. This is important because simply having a significant structure in two places doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do justice to the arboretum. The center will draw in visitors with its presence and distribute them on through the woodland area to the trail leading to the overall view of the pavilion.
