.
At the beginning of the Fall 2018 semester, my partner, Evan Scaria, and I decided to challenge a large, simple surface parking lot as our stake of territory that embodies a great amount of potential for continuing the growth and development of Chattanooga’s waterfront, considering the site is directly adjacent to the Tennessee River, AT&T Field, the Tennessee Aquariums, and the existing riverfront amenities. The major goals of our vision include: connectivity, river engagement, accessibility, wellness, and recreation.

Green Pier: At the northern edge of The Ramble, this green pier seeks to dissociate users from the downtown context to a more sublime connection with the Tennessee River. The top surface of this pier consists of soft scape in the form of grass, plants, flowers, and trees that provide an abundance of shade.

Aquatic Ramble Alcove: As The Ramble crosses into the site, an unique experience awaits wandering pedestrians. Burrowing out an intimate cave-like environment, users can engage with the newly created recreational facility without having to enter the building. Locker rooms and weight training facilities are also immediately adjacent to The Ramble.

Pedestrian Pool Promenade: As one of the main drivers of our program, recreation had to be further emphasized within the site. embedding an Olympic size pool provides a positive environment that promotes longevity and wellness. To supplement the competition pool, a strand of trees buffer the northern pathway from Riverfront Pkwy.

The Via Papalis is the ceremonial procession, beginning inside the Vatican and ending at St. John Lateran, that a newly crowned pope would journey to show his control and reign over all the land; a symbolic act of power of the Catholic Church over all people. This remapping of the Via Papalis analyzes the spatial similarities and differences along the path, from large, popular piazzas to tight alleyways, representing the route straightened out for easier visualization.

Archive of Air Conditions 3 rd Yr | Fall 2016 | Pier 58, NYC, New York Professor Mark Stanley Tasked on creating an archive through the psyche of a meteorologist: one who studies intricate, overlapping sequences and patterns occurring all around us, especially of our atmosphere. The territory is Pier 58, a vacant area of water on the west edge of the Chelsea neighborhood. The archive was model heavy, presenting almost exclusively the project with just the model shown: a 4’ x 10’ poplar plank, 1/16” = 1’ scale cantilevering off a custom welded frame. The archive catalogs and disperses CAC. CAC = Concentrated Air Conditions The archive is designed with 9 program elements that all work in unison to collect, research, display and disperse CAC.
3D Section: View into the space of where the Deep Variable Route System transition into Parabolic Diffusers (74 routes, transporting gaseous and digital information).

Air Conditions Process
Duties throughout semester: • Research, author and design full program book during first quarter for design guidance in the second quarter • Schematic design and refinement • Draw all raw lines in Rhino for all model geometry • Designed and constructed all study models and final model • Constructed full model + metal frame system Skills utilized: • Communication • Organization • AutoCAD • Rhino • Illustrator • CNC Wood Milling • 3D Printing • Wood Shop • Metal Shop (Welding) Materials: • Poplar • 3D PLA Filament (Clear + White) • Copper, Aluminum + Brass Hollow Tubes • Plastic Cord • Steel: Angle Iron, Rod

3D Section: View into the space, descending down at a 1:20 slope, with system and archivist space adjacent to Parabolic Diffusion.

Curator HQ Assigned control space of high altitude to oversee whole operation of archive. Fitted with the best weather observation and conditions of air gathering equipment.
Fabricated Extracts Condensed, “enlarged to show detail� version of concentrated air conditions (CAC). Available to the public and to entertain and inform both their curiosity and pleasure. Accessible to only the first several stories of existing built structure.
Sheer Essence Storage system of CAC. CAC are stored in gallon size, pill shaped containers. Miniature versions of atmospheric storage tanks stored in a way similar to a test tube rack. Space would act like a container itself, sitting on top of a trench whose pit is deep into ground.
Fallout Shelter An airtight oxygen tank supplied space to wait out the procedure of neutralizing the air of the fallout. The vacuum sealed space is designed with the ability to withstand excruciating forces of the earth, atmosphere or malfunction of archive.
Parabolic Diffusion Paramount of the operation. At the smallest section of the conical shaped structure, the CAC is fused with water molecules, then distributed into the air like a pressure washer, moved by turbines to propel the now air condition throughout the atmosphere. Businesses will use system to train and simulate extreme air conditions in the highly-concentrated CAC areas.
Deep Variable Route System This will be a space dedicated to the striation of conduit connected from the tip of the conical structure to each container of CAC. Since the CAC stabilizes once mixed with water, the main inhibited space of the route system will be under the surface of the water, in case of leakage or emission of CAC.
Analysis + Composition Used by almost all the archivists, this will be a space for the research of new air conditions, conceiving of new, man made air conditions, and the testing and purification of all air conditions to be converted into a CAC, located adjacent to Gigantic Data Capacity Station.
[Gig]antic Data Capacity Station The Gigantic Data Capacity Station is a space similar to the storage space of the CAC; however, this is for storage of digital data of CAC, algorithms to create artificial, natural, extraterrestrial CACs, etc. This space will not be inhabited much as it is simply a secluded space for the servers, coded, artificial CAC, and out-of-date machinery. This will also be out of the sight of the public.
Aerial Transit When discovering new/unarchived air conditions, one of two routes can be taken to achieve this: Drone - Used to travel with haste to capture air conditions anywhere around the world where it may fly. Human - Operate in a similar way as the drone, but humans can go where a drone cannot.

The Dwelling Integral Process
As we worked together throughout the semester to integrate the many systems that make a building work, we implemented a point load and shear wall structural system. This allows for large and modular open spaces, as well as creating strong lateral resistance. As we did not want larger components of the systems in play to drive the design, we consulted with a mechanical engineer on how to incorporate an HVAC system that is incognito on the facade, extremely energy efficient, and exclusive to each dweller’s unit. We decided to use an exhaust air heat pump unit for the smaller units on the west side of the building and a geothermal loop for the larger units, amenity spaces, and the mercantile, assembly, and lobby space on the ground floor.
