Retrospective of the Future
The SCAD Museum of Art will be hosting an exhibition of Dakota Jackson in the fall of 2015. Within this gallery space will be a plethora of furniture pieces which both express Dakota Jackson's pronounced design capabilities along with his desire to create innovative yet emotional furniture pieces. Along with furniture throughout the space, the visitor will be presented displays with instances of how a design transforms and progresses through a series of sketches and conceptual models. This exhibition will also offer great opportunity to peer into the life of Dakota Jackson and observe the settings in which he designs for. A centrally located pavilion will display settings of a grand room as well as a private room; all arranged with inspirational and personal belongings that portray how he lives and designs.

Transformational Diagrams The design process started with analysis of the gallery space; the dimensional values, existing structural columns, along with museum requirements. A rectilinear geometry was then established through studies of visitor circulation, proportional values of the space, and the needs of the exhibition. The devoted spaces then were addressed as an exterior patio space, a great room, and a private room.
This transformation to a gallery pavilion then required further attention to the interior layout, visitor circulation, as well as materiality. The entry sequence and transition from the great room to the private room evolved with the creation of an opening; which also allowed for fusion of different materials within each space. An overhang was also extended out over the exterior patio space; this allowed for the main entry to be more pronounced.

Structure
Following this development was the designation of certain spaces within the geometry; dimensions were then determined through the pieces being displayed in each space. With the designation of spaces within this geometry, a platform developed and was elevated. With the establishment of a roof, each space was then enclosed; the private room walls consisted of a solid material while the great room was enclosed with glass panels.
An additional exterior patio space was then formed to develop a more fluid movement throughout the pavilion. Assisting this movement is the extension of the roof. A cut into the roof slab soon followed at the end of the pavilion; this element denotes an additional entrance onto the pavilion patio. The final transformation was the creation of fenestrations within the solid walls; which allows for the transmittal of light to the space, along with interior organizational opportunities.

Translating History
The proposal collaboratively designed by UNIS and SCAD, consists of a cultural center that will be constructed adjacent to La Recoleccion ruins; more specifically a Museum of the City of Antigua along with an Archaeological Research Center. These two structures will prove significant to the city which has been deemed a World Heritage Site, and will further provide connection between the local community and the rest of the world; all while protecting the integrity of the city and the historical compositions.

Site Analysis In order to develop a cohesive master plan and building plan, a cohesive analysis of the site needed to take place, analysis that determined the existing conditions, defined certain attributes, and most importantly pronouncer historical value. Better understanding the organization of the ruins and the specifications of the site further allowed the group to advance to the schematic design phase.

Due to this museum being located in a World Herratige Site, there are numerous specifications and restrictions regarding zoning, construction methods, dimensions of certain widths and heights, materiality, and color. Designing with these attributes in mind, along with tradition and context, the studio has developed and open-air concept, allowing for the entire building to receive natural ventilation, except for storage and employee areas. Key sections were assembled, detailing unique architectural elements through the museum, clearly demonstrate the construction methods that will be used and how this open air system works and capabilities of altering museum settings. This includes the use of large pivoting doors, adjustable louver systems, along with details set in place for the rainy season.

Museum Concept To represent the history of the city and the highlight the strength of the Antigua community, there has been a large concentration on how this city came to be and the persistence of the indigenous. The concept of this museum highlights five main events in the life span of the city that have transformed the area.
1523 Antigua founded.
1717 Earthquake hit Antigua, destroying over 3,000 buildings.
1773 Earthquake hit Antigua, ultimately turning La Recoleccion to ruins.
Antigua named World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
1979
1776 Capital relocated to Guatemala City.
Five main events have been represented with large gallery spaces and supporting exhibits. As the viewer makes their way through this time line, one will encounter a preserved artifact from the adjacent church ruins; this further signifies that the viewer has reached one of the five significant dates. The gallery located across the corridor then informs one on why this date is significant and how a major event has changes history. After continuing through this museum and witnessing the persistence of the indigenous and their ability to continually transform the city after devastating events, the viewer exits and has the ability to explore one of the most historic ruins in Antigua.

Reviving the Edge
The proposal of this new master plan establishes an entertainment district through downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The intent of the design is to create a stronger connection through both the existing and proposed entertainment destinations with a denser permeable urban edge, along with a prominent interaction with the coast line and river walk. As Jacksonville strives to develop an entertainment district, it is important to establish destinations throughout the city. The organization of entertainment includes: bars, restaurants, performance centers, along with places of social interaction. The creation of these public realms is extremely important for the development of communal life and will expectantly draw a plethora of individuals to the city.

Reviving the Urban Condition To provoke a stronger association with the business men and women of the surrounding corporations, there needs to be a stronger sense of connectivity through Bay Street. This sense of connection is achieved by adopting the concept of density and applying it through the creation of addition structures throughout the city plats, in conjunction with modifying building heights. This alteration also creates a stronger urban edge condition; producing a distinct corridor down Bay Street. Natural elements were also added though Bay Street to better reinforce the pathway and denote the pedestrian realms, acting as nodes at the beginning and end of the entertain district. The proposed design rescales many variables of the city for sustainability by creating more entertainment destinations, retail opportunities, along with residential areas for future growth.
Jacksonville Figure Ground The analysis expresses the abundance of parking space, in which most is neglected, in comparison to green space all throughout the district. There is a disconnection between building heights as one travels from the dense inner city to the outskirts. The diagrams also provide instances of dense urban areas, which increase connectivity throughout. The escalation of destinations will also provide for a stronger connective arrangement. Also with the creation of a unique interactive coastline, a desired area is established and will promote a higher level of communal activity.

Density Throughout the city of Jacksonville, there is a lack of density. The diagram below demonstrates this absence of density and highlights the voids within the city parcels that can be utilized in order to form a more dense urban condition.

Connectivity By creating a more dense permeable urban edge condition, pedestrian passageways will become more clear throughout the city. With this stronger sense of connectivity and direction down Bay Street, there is a greater opportunity for commercial interaction.

Entertainment A precedent that influenced the development of Bay Street was M. Street, which is located in Washington D.C. M. Street has created a continuity and strong urban edge condition that keeps the pedestrians moving through the city and provides numerous entertainment opportunities.

Water Interaction A precedent that influenced the alteration of the coast line was the actions of Toronto, Canada. Toronto has created several iterations in which the coastline is interacting with the city. This dynamic interaction creates a unique pattern that intrigues the pedestrians: creating destinations and spaces that could be utilized for communal congregation.

To create a more active urban condition along Bay Street, the existing five lane road was converted to a boulevard. The proposed master plan suggests Bay Street consists of a driving lane along with street parking. Street parking allows for a strong barrier between the pedestrian and moving traffic. It also forces traffic to reduce its speeds, allowing for the end user to be captivated by surroundings destinations.

By creating this type of circulation system, more space is also available for sidewalk expansion, where most of the activity will be taking place. The sidewalks and roads are both eighteen feet wide on both sides of the median. This creates an ample amount of space for restaurants or cafes to have outdoor seating areas and for shops to engage with the public. There is also more room for greenery which in turn enforces the proposed passageway down Bay Street and further more protects the pedestrian from street traffic.

A Weaving Journey
The proposal located in strip district of Pittsburgh, portrays and investigates the Appalachian Mountain Range and the development within. The intent is for the design to express the geography and topographic formations of the mountain range. As the glaciers engraved the elegant topography, the continuous run of water weaving through the mountain range further shaped the landscape. With the different topographic features created by water, development was able to occur and civilization weaved throughout. The composition of the structure imitates the surrounding topographical features and is framing the capital of the Appalachian Mountain Range with parallel visuals directing ones movement through the site.

The analytical diagrams demonstrate the investigation of the Appalachian Mountain Range movement throughout the United States and more specifically the city of Pittsburgh. The figures demonstrate the topographical features that influence the concept of weaving, which is further implied in building form. The diagrams also portray how the glaciers once carved this beautiful landscape thousands of years ago, and how the element of water continues to weave throughout, further promoting developed.

Building Functionality The program for the Contemporary Craft and Entrepreneurship Museum consists of spaces that both showcase and assist in the growth of craftsman and entrepreneurs. Throughout the structure there are several designated exhibit spaces. The facade mainly consists of glass to expose the spaces to different types of light. Depending on the time of day, the art may become more intriguing and evoke influential thoughts. Amongst these exhibits are a bookstore, a cafe, a screening room, bathrooms, mechanical rooms, offices, along with studio space and class rooms underground.

The organization of the structure suggests a direct correlation to the Appalachian Mountain Ranges with the development of ridges which transform to organic formations. The proposal consists of several infusing factors that strongly represent the concept of weaving. There is a strong relationship to contemporary craft with the infusion of different concepts; such as weaving, layering, and transformation. The craftsman journey though the profession is much like the weaving of water and civilization through the Appalachian Mountain; one will develop as movement continues.
