Center of Foreign Art, Florence Italy This community space was designed to redefine the relationship between locals and foreigners in an urban setting. It uses dual circulation systems that at times separate and unify the different user groups and set up moments of visual dialogue. The given program has been split into the celebrated and everyday promenades and intersects PAGE 7
throughout the building. Using folding planes, these two different spaces begin to relate to each other. A series of circulation and mechanical volumes and voids unify these separate spaces into a single composition.

MOLLY POES | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Camouflage House, Syracuse New York This house is an exploration into architecture acting as an apparatus. Set in a suburban neighborhood the idea of [house] was rethought as a productive domicile. Using a series of rings as a kit of parts to build the house, it becomes a shadow producing apparatus utilizing the sun to camouflage itself into its environment. PAGE 17
It features an angled roof for the climate, as well as programmatic volumes that begin to pop out of the walls for views into the landscape. This alternative style of housing is purposefully anti-contextual and creates an architecture influenced by Reyner Banham’s machinery based architecture.

Contextual Rendering
MOLLY POES | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Suzuki School of Music, Hamburg Germany This project was produced in collaboration with Hilary Barlow as a renovation of an existing building to convert it into a school of music for young children. Utilizing the principles of the Suzuki Method, students were encouraged to play in different sized groups while receiving private instruction, providing multiple levels of interaction. To do PAGE 25
this we designed three different sized rehearsal spaces: the concert hall, the rehearsal rooms, and the practice rooms. The practice rooms became the most vital part of the design as one-on-one learning is the most important to the suzuki learning process. Walls of practice rooms weave through an existing villa to directly interact with the existing architecture.

Study Model Development
MOLLY POES | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Antique Boat Museum, Clayton New York This museum provides spaces for the museum to hold events throughout the entire year. Given the climate, this existing museum is only open during the spring and summer months. Utilizing the rooftops of these buildings as occupiable spaces the museum can hold a multitude of events in the off season. The gentle ramping towards the PAGE 33
water gives users many places to view ice boating, the popular winter sport of the area. This allows the museum to become a cultural artifact of the city, providing large enough event spaces that do not exist elsewhere in the city, due to its small size. The program is split three ways on the site with the museum grounds to the far left,
the water exhibits in the middle, and a public community center in the far right to remain open all year. The water is brought into the site to provide direct engagement with the exhibits. The circulation creates a promenade through the multiple boating exhibits.

Williamsburg Waterfront, Brooklyn New York Developed in Collaboration with Greg Bencivengo, this was a partner competition entry to the Williamsburg Waterfront Competition by suckerPUNCH. The required program was a 2 stage concert festival grounds with sporting and eating areas. We developed a dual-level promenade to provide access to primary and secondary programs. On the PAGE 43
lower level you can access the main amenities of the park and achieve direct access to the waterfront and view of Manhattan. The upper level consists of folding ground planes that encourage the territorialization of all spaces within the park by festival-goers. The ground plane folds up to create 2 band shells, vendor stands, and seating for the concerts.

Conceptual Rendering and Floor Plan
MOLLY POES | ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Magic Johnson Sports, Detroit Michigan This store design was developed for TranSystems Corporation as a retail unit in the Detroit International Airport. The design featured many localized elements such as a Comerica scoreboard shelving unit, and large Michigan sports graphics. I developed an abstract flooring pattern that reflected multiple sports, a two register octagonal cashwrap, and PAGE 47
floor fixtures layed out to promote circulation throughout the store. This was used as part of an RFP presentation in which I designed the store and drew the plan. The rendering was outsourced to another firm and serves to reflect the design of the space.

Bus Terminal, Provincetown Massachusetts Produced for TranSystems Corporation this terminal was developed to bring a more efficient transportation center into Provincetown while keeping with the local aesthetic of the area. Fitting the project into the context as well as keeping an aesthetic continuity was vital, so the design was based on local housing developements in the area. I PAGE 49
created a few diagrams and a sketch-up model as graphic representations of the project.

Storefront for Syracuse, Syracuse New York In a collaborative effort between Elizabeth Mikula, James Conley, Chris DePalma, Steve Klimek and I, we were able to activate a construction wall with new life. We worked alongside a local architect to find a client who wanted to give a typical construction wall more vibrancy while an old construction garage was being renovated into retail space. PAGE 53
The image was designed by Steve Klimek and used bright colors with pixelated storefront images and a large “Coming Soon� titleblock. After a few meetings we developed a design to the satisfaction of the client. I developed multiple pricing strategies, was the point of contact between all parties, and then helped install the vinyl graphic.
