ARCHITECTURE TO PROMOTE ANIMAL HABITAT / FALL 2016 The project began with research and field work on the topic of urban bird habits in East Boston. It ended as a master plan designed to support bird habitats. In this case, birds are an indicator of conditions suitable to support an ecosystem. Birds are the optimal indicator because their presence is relatively easy to detect.
11
ARCHITECTURE TO PROMOTE ANIMAL HABITAT
The above map represents three walks through East Boston. Noted are bird sightings, their species, and a rough estimate of how many birds there were. From this, I postulate some reasons for the location of clusters and the diversity of species. My hypotheses are based on my readings of Richard Forman and others, as well as my own deductive reasoning. For example, where there is bread there will be birds.

These plants were chosen for their resilience. They thrive in dry and wet conditions, and will adapt to change in tidal cycles. Additionally, all of the species are native to New England.

Beyond being resilient, these plants provide fundamental support to indigenous animal species and add interest to the architecture. For example, covering a building facade in Porcelain Vines (#20) provides small birds with shelter for nesting in the spring and summer. In the late fall and winter, the vines produce vibrant blue-purple berries, changing the facade’s color from green to a fantastic shade of blue and providing a food source for small animals.

The master plan organizes small townhouses along the southern edge of the site and taller buildings along the north to avoid shading the landscape. Additionally, the tallest buildings are set at the western edge, to block some of the noise from Route 1A. A boardwalk connects all of the buildings.

WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES CENTER
URBANISM STUDIO / FALL 2016
Architecture can act as scaffolding to support wildlife ecosystems by incorporating birdhouses, nesting platforms, and structures to buttress plant growth. In the process, it could sequester CO2, filter water, and improve an individual’s overall health. Additionally, living within these systems could be a learning opportunity for the residents.

NMAH MASTER PLAN
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY During my eight month co-op at Ann Beha Architects, I spent the majority of my time working on a master plan project for the Smithsonian. The focus of the master plan was to improve collection storage, the workplace, and public amenities. Since the master plan is a federal project, I am not permitted to show any of the design work until the project is complete and published.

SPECULATIVE INNOVATION BUILDING / FALL 2017 The following project began with an investigation of the logic behind Juniya Ishigami’s Kanagawa workshop project. In the pages that follow, his strategies are altered and applied to a speculative innovation building designed for a lot in Cambridge, MA. The goals of the project are to define the innovation building typology and to devise a system that achieves flexibility within the building.

FORT POINT NODE / SPRING 2018 The next pages include representation of the studio project completed during my final semester. The project aims to provide the Seaport with new public amenities while also developing strategies to “live with water” as sea levels rise and the neighborhood begins to flood at regular intervals. Additionally, the building will provide much needed resources for the neighborhood’s existing artist community. With my studio partner, Katie Reilly.

FORT POINT NODE
The strategy aims to ceremonially connect the elevated Summer St. to Congress St., and to provide a purposeful pedestrian path to and across the site by adapting the historic back of house typology into a mixed-use public space. In this case, when the back alley is not used for loading, it becomes a beer garden.
62
SECTION PERSPECTIVE THROUGH COURTYARD (B-B)
SPRING 2018 / COMPREHENSIVE STUDIO
The project integrates amphitheater seating to physically and visually connect Summer St. to Boston Wharf Rd. Additionally, an exterior passage cuts through the ground level of the building, linking the front and back ends of the site and establishing a secondary pedestriam route between Congress St. and Boston Wharf Rd. This passage is also a setting for exhibting the work produced by the building’s users.

The maps use data collected via the scorecard developed by The Playground Project: INDIGO and are processed using ArcMap. The map on the left describes an individual’s accessibility to audible play elements. The map on the right describes the percentage of shaded play equipment. The circles delineates a 10 minute walking radius. Maps built in collaboration with TPPI colleague, Monisha Reginald, graphics done independently.

BSA SYRIA INITIATIVE This documentation was completed for a playground that was built at a Syrian refugee camp in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. The intention of this documentation is to show the relationship of the camp to the surrounding area and to highlight how the surrounding settlements could benefit from this new civic space. These maps were made in collaboration with my BSA Syria Initiative colleague, Noora Aljabi.
