BOSTON STREET LIGHTING DIVISION FACILITY MILLER DYER SPEARS INC. (2014-2015) Client: City of Boston Project Manager: Paul Farrell Team members: Danyul Cho, Meg Bertini
The site is located at 300 Canterbury St. Boston, MA. The most challenging part of this project was its site. It was steep with lots of outcrops and limited surface area suitable for runoff infiltration. Therefore, proper site arrangement was a key factor in this project. Project’s particular program resulted in adjacency of two completely different types of buildings; a high-bay storage and an office building. As the job captain and part of the design team, I was involved with providing design options, schematic drawings, and site solutions.

SCIENCE This thesis will study how scientific research environments should be designed, specifically addressing the issues beyond mere needs of research scientists. Assuming that the purpose of research is to create new knowledge and foster discoveries, as well as positively influence the community in its processes and results, this thesis will explore the potential of the influence of this building typology that has been previously neglected. The objectives of the thesis are on one hand, the changes in science disciplines and their reflections in the evolution among this building type, on the other hand, the impacts of research environment on scientific evolution. The question is, beyond support, can Architecture promote and nurture science and enlighten scientists toward a new understanding of scientific activities that can result in new views of human life? It is assumed that good science happens in spaces that are transparent and dynamically communicative. The methodologies, which will be used to address these objectives, include literature review, exploration of case studies, surveys and interviews with scientists about their use of the laboratory buildings, and the design of a prototype building for scientific research. By the end of this study, the results will be used to develop new guidelines for the design of scientific research facilities.

THIS THESIS STUDIES THE POTENTIAL OF INFLUENCE THAT THIS BUILDING TYPOLOGY HAS. THE QUESTION IS HOW CAN ARCHITECTURE PROMOTE SCIENCE AND AID ITS EVOLUTION?
At the moment, the project is at the schematic design phase. The site is on the UMass campus next to an existing physical science facility, which is in a poor condition. The plan is a complete renovation of the existing facility in addition to design a new facility. The renovation includes of removing the link between two wings of the building and replacing it by a collaborative common area which, is one of the main parts of interactive circulation among existing and new buildings. The site pros and cons are that it is accessed by several pedestrian and vehicular ways including Elise Way and North Pleasant Street. It is placed at the center of the campus, which makes it work as a gateway between campus's science core and its student life. It also benefits from being next to the bus stop. There are, however, a number of possible infrastructural access difficulties and the possibility of cutting few trees, also there is a vehicular access way next to the existing building that has to be considered as one of the constants of the project.

END USER ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO CONSIDER END-USER PREFERENCES DURING DESIGN PHASE. THEREFORE, A SURVEY WAS DESIGNED AND CONDUCTED OF ALL GRADUATE SCIENCE STUDENTS ON THE UMASS CAMPUS.

SKYSCRAPER COMPETITION -HOW TO COMPOST WITHIN THE URBAN CONTEXT? The most recent estimates (2012) show the city of Chicago has a population of 2,714,856 making it the largest in Illinois and the third largest in the Unites States. Comparing to 1910 (2,062,882) population size has slightly grown but the amount of garbage produced per person in a year has dramatically changed based on DSS-Department of Streets and Sanitation (96.5 lbs in 1910 vs. 657.2 lbs in 2012). DSS has also reported that 29% of this amount belongs to organics and 29.5% to paper waste.

COMPOST IN CHACAGO The Compost in Chicago project suggests a new way of composting within the urban context. Currently, public opposition, environmental and economic concern make it difficult to build or expand waste disposal facilities in the city and most of dumping sites are located well outside the city limits. At the same time, in addition to the cost of collection and preparation in such a large scale and transporting large quantities garbage to remote landfills has a huge environmental impact. Placing neighborhood size composting plants within a city eliminates the collecting, preparation and transportation costs. Approximated time for organic compounds to biodegrade is 1 to 2 months and for general paper is 1 to 3 months. Therefore, the rich dirt produced as the result of composting process can be collected on a monthly basis. Taking advantage of the location, the compost tank can be easily accessed and loaded by other neighborhoods. To be able to work effectively, most microorganisms that assist the biodegradation need water and Oxygen. Direction and speed of the wind is going to help exhausting as well as composting process itself. Humid air captured by wind catchers will be accelerated toward the tank.

COMPOST IN CHACAGO Two exhausting stacks are surrounded by the building inhabitable area. Two layers of ramps give access to parking and retail floors, one for vehicles another for pedestrians. The structural system is a hybrid of concrete slabs and columns in addition to two main steel supports. The faรงade is combined of 3 layers; the store front glazing layer to better fire-isolate the floors, the maintenance walkways layer which, are made of perforated metal slabs, and the ETFE transparent/ semitransparent layers. ETFE cushions will provide flexibility to be used on all sides of the faรงade with the shade changing possibility embedded in their structure.

In an effort to become an inseparable part of the neighborhood as well as have a positive influence on it, this project addressed both the positive and negative Flows affecting the site. I identified different sorts of flows by which each component of the building is affected. The next step was to develop the best solution for each component through a rigorous process of design and examination. The main notion in finding solutions is how different components of the building are responding to extrinsic flows such as sunlight, wind, view, water, transportation, safety, waste, and greenspace. The structural main frames are made of pre-stressed laminated wood beams, which exhibit 31% increase in immediate strength and 50% decrease in variability of strength. This is made possible by clear straight-grained tension lamination composition.
AERODYNAMIC SHAPE AGAINST COLD WIND
VIEWS OF WATERFRONT, MANHATTAN AND GARDEN
The building opens toward southern sun and every prestressed glulam beam is oriented in a way to provide as much sun as possible for solar panels installed on roofs. On the other hand, open floor plans provide the possibility to have deeper balconies responding to sunlight in relation to building orientation. The shape of the building is aerodynamic, buttressed against seasonal cold wind and open toward summer breeze for natural ventilation.

The three convex curve shapes provide generous views of the waterfront, Manhattan and the public garden as well as forming a large interior courtyard for common space and circulation. All residential spaces are at least five feet above the regional floodplain and gutters are provided to catch storm water for vegetation. Parking and pedestrian entrances are placed to support public transportation access and relate to neighborhood dynamics. The wood fabrication loading dock faces IKEA and the main pedestrian entrance faces the public garden. A smooth ramp provides universal access and makes it possible for residents to ride their bikes up to their units. In order to provide safety for common open spaces between the buildings, the interior courtyard is lifted one level above the IKEA parking lot. On the north street places to sit and gather, keep the area from being unsafe by making it pleasant for the whole neighborhood. The construction process occurs in phases to reduce transportation costs by using on-site fabrication strategies. First, the wood and digital fabrication produces structural elements of the project and uses the bike shop area as a storage space for products and wood by-products. Most of the wood waste produced during structural fabrication will go through a simple process to be used in walls and roofs as insulation. The rest of the waste along with future wood waste will be turned into wood-pellet fuel to be used for heating.

THE INTEGRATED DESIGN BUILDING
In this specific studio, the program was to design an Integrated Design Building within an integrated design team; two architecture students and a landscape architecture student. The design process was full of going back and forth, experimenting different environmental factors, and their influence on the building form. The main idea was to consolidate three departments in a collaborative and transparent environment.

This project is to design a steel structure for a Culinary Arts College in Boston. The notion of this project is based Plato's Allegory of the Cave. The concept of the Cave is investigated as a system with two inputs: real things; and sunlight.

Height fields taken from site
Sections taken from the height fields
Bake Shop
The output of the system is a shadow -- the reflection of the interaction between light and real things on the cave’s wall. The prisoners observe this shadow (output) and perceive it as an abstraction of the reality. Four main components of design; context, program, form, and structure of the building are presenting the actual cave components.
The project is an open system with an intertwining effect among its four parts. The inputs of the system are context, and the program. The output is the observer's spatial experience. However, differences between the allegory and this system are the rules through which the shadow is cast. In contrary of Plato's cave, rules are not "unknown", architect defines the rules that actualize the observer's’ spatial experience.

The inputs including the context and the program are given. There are three types of observers: 1)staff and students; 2)visitors, and 3)pedestrians. The program is divided into three categories in order of privacy: 1)private; 2)semi-private/public; and 3)public. Pedestrians represent the prisoners of the cave who can only see the building's skin. The visitors have a slightly better understanding by having access to the public spaces, and staff and students correspond to the people who can be in the cave or outside. Inside the building is where the real things happen. On the other hand, outsiders see a reflection of the events and activities that are happening inside.

B.A STUDIO PROJECTS
MEDIA PARK BACHELOR STUDIO #5 + FINAL PROJECT CULTURAL CENTER AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN Studio IV was to design a cultural center, and it was followed by my final project. The idea was to create a space for collaboration between different generations. Mediateque is a center equipped with a variety of SITE TE NATURAL CONTOUR LINES LIN I ES means of mass communication to be used by the visitors. The entirely open environment is encouraging users to communicate by making them share the devices. Studio IV was to design a cultural center, and it was followed by my final project.

The form concept is taken from the natural contour lines of the site in both the building and the sculpture COMPLEXITY GENERATION OMPLEXITY IN CULTURE AND GENERATI T ON GABS park. In mediateque the gap between contour lines, which are representing the gap between generations,, are lifted off the ground to generate space underneath. The idea is to bold out the differences between generations and confront them. A better understanding of those differences and their reasons will help to come up with better solutions to fill them.

MEDIA PARK Using a variety of media from the most ancient to the most modern devises is in fact to lure all types of users to visit the place and to meet with each other. Classrooms and auditoriums are provided in the building but the actual learning space is the lobby and the park where people have the chance to be self educated. The entire sculpture park is following the same notion and in fact, every single sculpture is a devise to gather people around to communicate and cross the boarders in between elderly and youth. Landscape components are gateways to a new typology of community. There is no entrance or exit to the media park; it is left for the users to pick. Most of the sculptures are visible from the street and routs to each of them are sculptures by them self and small gathering points are provided everywhere. The sense of space can be different according to the observers distance to a component; first, it is an abstract shape and then it turns into a shelter, a pathway or an observation platform. The site is in North West area of Tehran, a developing area with several high raised residential complexes under construction and newly completed. The area seriously lacks a public garden that can operate more than just a garden. This project is providing a multi cultural space including libraries, art exhibitions, studyy rooms, and meeting g points p that serve all generations.

REALISTIC DESIGN PRACTICE BACHELOR STUDIO #4 RESIDENTIAL VILA+ PUBLIC GARDEN
Studio IV had to parts; designing a residential villa for an imaginary client with specific needs and demands, and a public garden on a particularly steep landscape. The imaginary clients were two strict religious brothers who were married and had children. They shared a piece of land that was big enough for two individual houses. They wanted to be neighbors at the same time each of them wants his own private area. They also demanded two completely private, outdoor swimming pools. The final product was a pair of similar "L" shape duplex houses mir mirrored rro ore r d next to o each other.
41
The shapes of the houses provide private areas for swimming pools. There are no major windows on the side that houses face each other. Staircases are receiving natural light through glass brick while not being visible from outside. Balconies are not directly toward the twin building and the act as privacy filters between outside and inside of bedrooms. In part two, the public garden is in fact a spiry pathway following the natural contour lines of the 25% steep site. A pergola, a coffee shop and, a public rest room along with several picnic spaces and fountains are placed at the corner of each curve. Drawings 100% match the existing condition of the site. All slopes and stairs, universal accessibility and radiuses are accurately calculated for this project.

The program was to fit a primary school, a middle school, and a high school in an odd foot shape site extended from north to south. Each school has the capacity of at least 250 students, a dining hall, study rooms, and a school shop. The high school also includes an amphitheatre and a library. Buildings are separated by common spaces such as courtyards and playing grounds so that all students can use facilities in other buildings. For students security and safety courtyards are higher than street level, also some mechanical spaces along with small shops are places in between yards and streets.
