a public library

Concrete Competition opelika, al

The approach to this project involved evaluating the role of the Public Library in the 21st Century and in the particular context of a small downtown. This library strives to be a catalyst, helping to reactivate and revitalize downtown Opelika. The library is seen as a place to bring people together to utilize technology, exchange ideas, and for encouraging literacy and a love of reading in future generations. This project seeks to accomplish these things by both respecting its context while striving to stand out as a building of its time, providing communal reading and discussion spaces, active and exciting children’s spaces, and engaging with the street in a transparent, pedestrian friendly way. The building accomplishes this while trying to reduce its enviromental impact by utilizing natural lighting and some solar power, and also providing outdoor reading spaces. The 21st Century Library is not merely a repository for books, but rather a focal point for the community, dynamic with ideas, interaction, and communication

Arts Center and Depot Park Proposal to adaptively reuse an abandoned warehouse complex adjacent to the existing historic downtown. The new uses would include galleries, classrooms, event/conference spaces, and a new theater. The complex, along with a redesigned park/festival ground would invigorate and complement the historic downtown.

One week study to create an entrance/meeting point for the proposed Railroad Park in downtown Birmingham. The project uses playful kite-like forms to bring the diverse parts of the city into the new park and create a landmark anchor for the west entrance. Main features include the solar panel roof and bicycle racks with changing facilities.

mixed-use housing

Big Dig Living

boston, ma

Creating community through architecture. The design is an exploration of making a building that can respond to and encourage the mixing of cummunity and personal life that characterizes living in the city. To accomplish this the building’s residential units are positioned around the borders of the site to take advantage of the views and lighting while much of the middle of the site is carved out into a public/ commmunity space. The project takes advantage of its unique siting by responding to both the characted of Boston’s Historic North End and the new urban corrodor of the Big Dig. The residential units are clad in an elemental brick facade with punched openings, an aesthetic that is both undeniably modern but still connects with the character of the North End. The public space, however, seeks iconic static with its collapsing glass atrium anouncing itself to the Big Dig and Boston skyline beyond. This atrium serves as a space to see and be seen while enjoying views of new parks and the skyline year round. It is the atrium where the greatest interplay of community occurs with space for the general public, the building community, and even personal space.

a multiplex cinema

Mixed-Use Movies auburn, al

Project to reinvision the existing cinema site as a mixed use, though still suburban site. The concept was to create a courtyard where public interaction, dining, and shopping could take palce away from the noise and sight pollution of the parking and surrounding landscape. This open air court would serve as a staging area for the theater and would contain ticketing, as well as coffee shops and snacks for those waiting for a feature. The cinema itself consists of theaters arranged around the central service and circulation zones where celestory openings provide both light and glimpses of the night sky. The cinema of today must deal with the realities of multiplexs and blockbusters while still creating spaces to see and be seen.
