Performance Spring 2015 This city block redevelopment aims to provide Boston’s South End with a performance arts center and school and to integrate more commercial, residential and office program within the neighborhood.

The performance program consists of an arrangement of buildings loosely following the courtyard typology of the surrounding context. Yet, the topography is modified to designate a zone that is primarily for student use, this also allows for program to be wedged bellow the raised ground. From a distant vantage point, or from a bird’s-eye-view, the building appears as a number of pure volumes within a landscape. However, it can be entered from below, above, and at street level; the main public entrance is at level with the street. This change in topography also forms outdoor seating areas for performance outside the conventional theatre. The theatre volume is pulled back from the street corner. In this way it does not compete with the other important landmark of the neighborhood, the cathedral on the opposite corner. 4 site plan

The master plan adopts the existing block structure with groupings of 2-4 story residential buildings around courtyards. These face other residences along the northwestern edge of the site. Commercial and institutional program is arranged along the more lively Washington Street. The site is divided in half by a pedestrian walkway with commercial program on the ground level of the buildings that face it. This is meant to strengthen the link between the residential and public quarters of the South End. Then the walkway transforms into a drive to serve the performance center and school.

Scope Spring 2014 This project situated two residences on the same lot within an already developed neighborhood set in a valley. The site is located in the center of the neighborhood, in the middle of the incline. With immediate neighbors on all four sides of the site and the opportunity for those higher up to look in, it seemed essential to develop a strategy that respected the privacy of the site’s inhabitants. The service-served (thick-thin) typology creates the needed barrier between the public and private spheres by wrapping the main living spaces in a ribbon composed of the service program (bathrooms, storage, stairways etc.). Although this ribbon essentially runs uninterrupted through out both houses, the two are divided by a public walkway, which connects to the sidewalk above and below the site. One of the homes was required to have a commercial component, which has been modeled as an art gallery. This volume exists outside the ‘thick’ ribbon and is glazed in to put art on display for those outside.

Pavilion Fall 2014 The pavilion sits in the plaza of the Christian Science Center, on the edge of Boston’s downtown. Walking through the pavilion, the pedestrian experiences fragmented views back towards the city. These glimpses change with the pedestrian’s movement. The pavilion is placed along one of the plaza’s major circulation paths. The intent is for pedestrian traffic to weave through as they continue along their regular route. The arrangement of piers makes sure not to compromise these major circulation vectors.

Daily Bread Project The Daily Bread Project teaches basic nutrition and Project Coordinator Facilitation Guide cooking-related skills to school-age children and their families. The goal of working with the program was to improve branding and accessibility for those unfamiliar with the program. This included updating the logo and color scheme for all platforms, improving the facilitation guide by creating a consistent format and adding useful supplementary materials and rebuilding the program’s website.

Gabion Spring 2015 Group project This facade design, aimed at a hypothetical residence, takes advantage of the warm climate it is intended for. The rocks of the gabion wall function as a passive heating system. Their high thermal capacity absorbs heat from the sun during the day and slowly releases it during the night, heating the interior space as a result. By morning, the rocks have cooled and keep the interior cool through the day as they heat up again. The gabion modules also work to filter the light, creating unique lighting conditions on the interior. The scale of the stones is consistent and fairly large to allow a significant amount of light to enter the space. This also provides an individual in the space opportunities to peer out.

A steel frame is used as the primary structural system, its inherent strength allows for large opening with relatively slender members. Vierendeel trusses were chosen, rather than triangulated ones, to keep with the rectilinear modules of the gabions within the frame. As well, the weight of the gabions works to mitigate any lateral force placed on the wall.

Several of the modules have been left empty to illuminate the space more fully, as well as to emphasize the thickness of the wall. The glazing system is placed on the interior and slightly set away from the frame. The position of the glazing varies to emphasize the openings that have not been filled in, where the openings exist the glass is flush with the exterior steel frame and where the gabions exist the glass is pushed back to the interior.

Context Fall 2014 This community pool is, at its most essential, a bar with two large volumes set within it. The bar contains all of the service program and molds to accommodate large amenities, like the change rooms. The two rectilinear volumes are the swimming pools. The pools are lifted above street level to create a covered pedestrian walkway, which connects the two streets bordering the site. Additionally, the pools are raised above ground level to give the center prominence within the urban context. The large sections of glazing make the pool activities visible to pedestrians. This functions as a sort of advertising for the building by identifying the buildings program from the exterior.
