Project Description: The client, Bill Tedoldi, invited us to investigate the feasibility of a phased 30,000+ sf “Life Center” for the town of Needham, MA. This new facility was to include provisions for town residents of all age groups. The facility would be adjacent to a popular athletic playing field and a local YMCA. His intention was for us to think about linking these and other needed town functions to this facility. He also wanted us to provide additional parking, both on and off site. Herb served as
‘local
historian’
and assisted us in developing a workable building and site program. Multiple field visits were required in order to ascertain site conditions.
Analysis / Conclusions: Existing Building is sheltered and closed off from the town. Open it up more (landscape) Poor maintanence all over site. New exterior facing Landscape work Building function poor? Rework building with new program Limited space expand with design intent to remodel/redesign existing building in 2027 Program MUST be
flexible to work for several years and
need minimal change when expansion to existing building is being done.
Precedents
These are not precedents of existing community centers but it’s the look and feel on the community center that is to be created. It must appeal to all ages and genres of people. It will have private and social areas; the design is to be similar to the images above. While being more modern and using more sustainable design examples are images below.

Schematic Design
The
existing building can not be touched
until at least
2027,
which made the design
more interesting. The community center
needs to grow as the community grows; the Palmer building proved the opportunity
to do just that. The design will take
on phases, expanding into what already exists, reducing cost, and reusing material.
Materials
would work as a merger, the
new building will be constructed of glass, and modern materials.
In
the future, the
next phase would use a combination of both to merge to two buildings together, old meeting young. Growth was used metaphorically. Trees grow mushrooms off
its side when they are old; a building form was derived from this idea.

Green Field was a challenging site to use for a Life Center because the land couldn’t be completely used for the building or parking. it was completely flat and rectangular, and has the existing Steven Palmer building on it that can’t be touched till at least the year 2027, to name a few difficulties. My design is to be taken in phases. Phase I is to build a structure that will fulfill most of what the Town of Needham desires in a Life Center.

With
the church being a landmark for the city, it’s
important to keep as many elements of the original church as possible. With that in mind, the exterior form is to remain as much its old self as possible while the interior gets the further upgrades.
This church being on the corner
of the new development makes it the threshold between old traditional, and new innovative. The three exposed sides
will begin to read as that transition from one to the next.

Project Description: This will be a glass artist’s exhibition and workspace-“Chihuly Gallery and Workshop”. Dale Chihuly has always been interested in architecture, landscape, and glassworks of mega scale. His works range from small objects to environmental scale. I explored the possibility of transforming of glass art into the real inhabitable space through reinterpretation of this specific artist’s work; creating interface where urban, architecture, landscape, and art intersect. The deliberate consideration of how the blurred boundaries between these interfaces can purpose new kinds of exhibition and workshop space that encourage diverse sociocultural interaction in an urban setting.

Programming
The
program layout is intended to
set up several tiers high up. The gallery space would be seperated into seven spaces. These spaces connect to create a single circular motion
throughout
the
entire
building. This multi level structure would allow ‘flux’ to transform the
space in different ways. Hot and
Cold
shops are located at the core
but seperated to allow all levels to be able to view into the shops and see how glass is created while being able to view the glass in the gallery spaces. The mulitple levels and circular motion allows
‘flux’
to travel through the building in both views, and water. Views will change throughout the building by hiding/revealing moments, city life/ harbor life, shadows and shades of
things to come, and obscuring views through glass, or materials that
limit viewability. Water has seven
states of movement, these gallery spaces are to be used as nods for water to ‘flux’. At each one of these galleries the water will travel from one to the next, and as it does it will change into a different state of movement, this will be used to celebrate display it.

multiple levels would relate to

was pushed to a more orthogonal
design to relate better with what exists on the site. With
the canal being very rigid, and bridges for crossing over, this design influence was brought into the building.
From
that very rigid form it starts to break by angling the
walls at a
45
degree to slowly bring that flux into the
building. These angled walls start to push and pull into the
other spaces, breaking the wall up from the flat plane, to a more expressive plane.
As
the angled walls get up to the second level they begin
to change degrees, and later begin to tilt--
making the
space you enter always changing, but building on what has already come before.

Client Background: A couple in their 30’s has expanded their home by tearing down their shed, extending their home to the right, redesigning their kitchen layout, and adding a second floor. There are often wine tasting events in their home and view the primary expansion as a good opportunity to create a better working space.

Project Description: Through lectures, readings, lab assignments, and field trips, students will learn the basics of Lighting Design for interior architectural spaces, be introduced to AGi32 software and it’s basic tools, and have a better understanding of the relationship between lighting and the effets on human beings and the integration with architecture.
Concept: Create nods of congregational spaces, a pause within the circulation, but easy to move around. The focus is on food and wine, with easy travel from inside to outside. Conversations must be easy to pick up and to move away from.
The aforementioned events typically take place at night and weather-permitting, will hold these events on the new exterior deck. At these events wine and small h’orderves would be served from both the kitchen area and the dining room table. The secondary lighting area to be worked is the main living room area. The area will be more private, but may be used from time to time if the event should get large enough to need the space.

main wine tasting space will consist of several types of
lighting to create different
‘nodes’ --
pauses within the space-- for
conversation to open up or a moment to reflect upon something.
Recessed
lights will be used for lighting artwork within the space and
to highlight the entry to the outdoor deck. These lights also provide
visual connection between the artwork, the deck, and the family room.
Wall
mounted, defused lighting will be used around the fireplace to
highlight that element; and if it should be lit, can be toned down for a more intimate moment.
Cove
lighting will be used in two places. The first will be above the
window in the family room space- to give a slight glow of light and still be able to view outside at night. The second will be a square above
the dining table to give a defused light around the space for a casual dining experience, with a pendant fixture to light up the table. Kitchen lighting will have both recessed lights and task lights for cooking, food
preparation, and for presentation. The secondary private space will have similar fixtures and layout as the wine tasting are will have in case the event should need more space. In the center of the room will be a light
‘box’
with a warmer color tone for a more private, comfortable feel and
is to be controlled by a grid of LED’s.

Ongoing
Responsibilities: Develop standards for the firm to use, includes; titleblocks, templates, keynotes, sheet standard, components, and develop folder/file organization. Train principles in Revit best practices, and overall basic to advanced commands of Revit. On call availability to answer questions when needed, within reasonable expectations. This
standard was created from ground up, each peice and
smart component created by myself. The standard was taken from a set of documents that were given to me by the principles so that what they produce looks similar to what
Revit became their standard. Template adjustments included item such as: dimension style, text style, tags, and keynotes. was produced before
Titleblocks,
and coversheet were created in a unique way
so that when the consultant names were written in the cover sheet it coordinated with the corrisponding sheets, so that information only need one entry. Zoning and code summary was developed in a way so that entry of information was easy and fixed, without using text. With the standard being complete the construction documents were reproduced within
Revit
to ensure that all standards
were implantmented and coordinate correctly.

project was an
existing building, the client was updating the ventialtion in
the school. The budget for the project primary went to this updating ventalation system, with very little to new architectural elements.
Challenges encountered were updating bathrooms up to code; new handrail and gaurdrail for the existing staircase; locating new louvers so that new HVAC units could be placed within the building; and design options for location of new chiller unit.

Pepper Hamilton project was an existing building, the client was leasing half the 8th floor, and all of the 9th. It was for a lawyer firm, and needed to have a high end look about it.
Challenges
encountered were producing the construction
documents as fast as possible. I came on board with the firm to work on this project alone, and get it to completion with a month deadline.
My
role in the project consisted of, coming on board the
project with design development being just completed, I
needed to take every piece of the project up to construction documents level. Floor plans,
RCP’s, Sections, Elevations,
and Details, all worked on by myself.
