ANCHORAGE, DESPITE BEING A WATERFRONT CITY, LACKS A WATERFRONT. PRIMARILY DUE TO THE RAILROAD OWNING MOST OF THE WATERFRONT PROPERTIES AND THE MUDFLATS THAT SEPARATE ANCHROAGE FROM THE KNIK ARM. THE NEW MASTERPLAN DEVELOPMENT CREATES A VIBRANT AND ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE DESIGNED SPACES ARE FUNCTIONAL IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE AMPHITHEATER, PARKING GARAGE AND BRIDGES IN WINTER BECOME HOST TO DIVERSE RECREATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS SNOWBOARDING COURSES AND ICE CLIMBING WALLS.

The building (190,000 GSF) is organized across four levels with a rooftop greenhouse. From the Oval Drive entrance, users will enter at the 2nd Level and will have immediate access to a Flexible Conferencing area as well as Corporate and Research Laboratories. The lower level daylights to the south of the site and will contain Labs, Growth Chambers, Loading, and Mechanical Spaces. Levels 3 & 4 are occupied with Labs, both Corporate and Research. The Roof houses the Greenhouses, as well as Process Labs, Head Houses, and Mechanical areas. The planning diagram is comprised of two L-Shaped Laboratory & Office wings, wrapped around a central atrium space. the Atrium will serve as both a circulation and collaboration zone. Labs and Offices are arranged to maximize interaction both between the wing and between levels and allowing for maximum daylighting opportunities. Pedestrian movement through the building is encouraged at the 2nd Level, in keeping with the Master Plan Concepts.

RESEARCHER’S RESIDENCE
RECYCLING & SOLID WASTE CONVENIENCE CENTER SITE 1 HUT, 10505 Old Stage Rd., RALEIGH NC
SITE PLAN
The Wake County Recycling and Solid Waste Convenience Centers are trash and recycling drop off stations scattered throughout Wake County and are used every day by thousands of county residents. Typically, 1 to 3 county workers operate each station at a given time and their responsibilities include directing people to the proper waste bins and watching over the grounds so that no one is hurt or removes any of the recycling from the collection area. 0007
The Convenience Center Huts (CCHs) are shelters that provide the workers with protection from the elements, a small workspace and an area to prepare and store food. Most of the county’s 11 current CCHs are dilapidated and use large amounts of energy for heating and cooling despite their small size. The goal of the Summer 2010 design-build studio at North Carolina State University was to replace the buildings in 3 of the sites.

APP SCREENSHOTS (IN PROGRESS)
RGREENWAY APP DEVELOPMENT
The app currently displays the closest trail, parking AND information about the trail you are in. it also has a work out mode that allows you to track time and distance traveled in the greenway; displays the weather, current location in the greenway, social media “check in” and a link to SeeClickFix (IN THE EVENT A PROBLEM IS DETECTED ON THE GREENWAY THAT WARRNTS REPORTING).
CityCamp winner 2012
RGreenway began as a summer school project. I conceived an app that would function as an interactive guide to the Greenways OF Raleigh. This idea was pitched TO CityCamp 2012 and was developed after it was awarded 1st PLACE.
