THESIS MENDING THE FRAGMENTED CITY: Linking Formal and Informal Networks Through Civic Architecture in Informal Settlements

Quito, Ecuador August 2011-May 2012 Professors Cordula Roser-Gray and Carol Reese Program: Library/Mediatheque, Market, Daycare, City Offices, Auditorium, Multi-Use Classrooms
Opportunities for growth and prosperity abound in informal settlements. However they continue to be excluded from the “formal� city networks in terms of infrastructural services, social interaction, the formal economic system, and access to educational and cultural institutions. The exclusionary dynamic can be remediated through a comprehensive architectural intervention that brings attention to the settlement and serves as a connecting point for formal and informal networks, making the fragmented city more inclusive socially and economically.

Quito was founded in 1534 but only began to grow exponentially in the 1970’s due to rural immigration. The unprecedented influx of people combined with poor urban planning created informal settlements along the peripheral areas. The site is located in one of these settlements to the northwest of the city. The settlement Jaime Roldos Aguilera has developed significantly but despite its recent “legal” status is still marginalized from economic, social, and cultural networks. The site chosen for the intervention is currently the main market area, which ideally will become the new civic center for the neighborhood and its surrounding areas.

The program consists mainly of a library/mediatheque and classrooms. This creates a cultural center for the settlement providing the residents with educational activities for children, adults, and the elderly, something the residents of the area expressed was needed. These main components were placed on the second floor of the building, creating an urban edge along the south side of the site. The ground floor holds the supporting program including the relocated market, a daycare, an office for city services, an auditorium and an entrance to the library. This floor was broken up, making the scale of the building more congruent with the rest of the neighborhood.

FINAL BUILDING MODEL
The presence of the building as a landmark of the neighborhood was an important component of the design. Through a bold statement that would contrast against the fabric of the settlement, the rest of the city will be informed of its presence and importance within the city as a whole. The height of the library component as well as its occupiable roof also provides the settlement of a lookout point to appreciate the city that the residents of the settlement are also a part of.

Published in the Tulane School of Architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biannual publication The Review 2009-11 The Louisiana Civil Rights Museum project was envisioned as an opportunity for the once thriving Oretha Castle-Haley corridor to resurface as an important historical and cultural area of the city. The building itself was envisioned as a new landmark for the neighborhood as well as a node for residents to meet, interact, and learn. The parti of the building consists of a fluid circulation path that serves as an interior street. The path culminates in a central atrium space where the exhibition space is located. The shifting form of the atrium provides an enticing space, promoting curiosity in the visitors and leading them up to the various exhibitions. The ground floor itself contains community-oriented program which consists of a library, a meeting room, a cafĂŠ, and in the exterior, a community garden. These areas are located towards the more private northwest corner of the site, while the main entrance to the museum opens up to the boulevard.

The Moulin Rouge Dance School is located beside the current Moulin Rouge building in the Pigalle district of Paris. This urban site presented various limitations in terms of codes and restrictions. Apart from the dance school, the program included a museum and an auditorium for visitors. A welcoming and grand gesture was necessary for the building to represent the icon that is the Moulin Rouge and it had to be accomplished within the small space provided. Consequently, a tall atrium at the entrance with views to the practice rooms and with a red carpet directing visitors to the auditorium and along the museum on the first floor, was devised. The floor heights correspond to those of the surrounding buildings, while the façade represents an opening curtain at a theater, differentiating and highlighting the structure as an entertainment venue, much like the windmill at the Moulin Rouge that currently occupies the suggested site.

PERCIVAL STERN HALL FACADE Tulane University, New Orleans, LA Fall 2009 Professor Tiffany Lin Program: Redesign Facade for Stern Hall Building Percival Stern Hall was designed in a time where nuclear warfare was deemed eminent, and consequently its façade reflects this fear, with few small windows scattered along its concrete structure. This project proposes a removal of the current façade replacing it with a more open and functional one. The new metal paneling system would be attached to the existing slabs. The composition consists of “cuts” along the façade plane which are lifted at the top or bottom, and translate either into larger glass curtain wall components (on the north side), or perforated steel shading devices creating a double façade (on the south side). The openings vary depending on the interior program that consists of classrooms and science labs (where small, or no windows are necessary). Exterior gathering spaces are scattered throughout the building and are carved into the facade in order to provide shade, while a larger one is located in the middle of the building, marking the passage underneath the building that connects one side of the campus to the other.

HAND DRAWINGS IN ROME ITALY Fall 2010 Professor Tiffany Lin Throughout my semester abroad in Rome, the program had a strong emphasis on recording architectural details and observations through freehand drawings. These exercises resulted in a better understanding of the composition and structure of every building as well as proportions and details, important especially in renaissance buildings of the area. Drawings not only consisted of perspectival views, but also of plans, sections and aerial depictions derived from observations of the space. Many drawings were also composed to emphasize a particular characteristic of the buildings, producing a more detailed study of a cupola of a church, or the skyline of contrasting structures. My final project consisted of analyzing medieval towers throughout the city, and the detail of the border junction shared with the relatively newer adjacent buildings, as well as how they sit within the block they occupy. This project explored the layering of architectural history that is characteristic of Rome. SANTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;AGNESE CHURCH AT PIAZZA NAVONAROME

CLAIBORNE AV. AS PUBLIC SPACE New Orleans, LA Fall 2011 Professor Johnathan Tate Program: Public space along Claiborne Ave Claiborne Av used to be a thriving commercial, cultural and social corridor, crossing through the traditional neighborhood of Treme. In the early 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extension of the I-10 highway was constructed directly on the neutral ground, which was used as a linear park. The structure contributed to the decline of the traditional neighborhood, but recently its removal has become part of the Master Plan for the City of New Orleans. This project explores a possible urban design intervention once the highway is removed which consists of reimagining the entire corridor as a large public space connected through a paving pattern that serves as a new symbol for the area. The longitudinal public space serves as a park once more, with specialized areas such as a covered market or basketball courts, branching out of the middle ground on to the adjacent blocks and connected by pedestrian walkways identified by the similar pattern. The pattern is derived from traditional mosaic signs for streets or businesses on New Orleans sidewalks, and the colors are associated with Mardi Gras Indians who already occupy this space for parades and exhibitions.

POINT CADET WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT Biloxi, MS Spring 2011 Professor Grover Mouton Program: Park and commercial areas in Point Cadet Point Cadet is located at the eastern entrance to the city of Biloxi, which was vastly destroyed during hurricane Katrina. The city wants to redevelop this area which serves as a site for the marina and for fishing competitions and, prior to Katrina, housed a seafood museum and a hangar which served as an event venue. My proposal re-envisions this area as a larger entertainment node consisting of park space, which would bring back vegetation lost in the hurricane, a commercial area located near the middle, a new building for the marina and a housing proposal to the north of the site. The seafood museum and the hangar would also be reintroduced. A boardwalk would connect the site and serve as a running and walking route, as well as a viewing platform for boat shows and fishing competitions. The buildings proposed would have to be elevated at least 8 feet to avoid any possible flood damage.

Recieved New Orleans AIA Honor Award for Design in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbuilt Architectureâ&#x20AC;? Category and the SEED Award for Excellence in Public Interest Design Grow Dat is a project developed by the Tulane City Center in collaboration with the New Orleans Food and Farm Network and City Park. This urban farm aims to teach local high school students about community, sustainability and healthy dietary and recreational alternatives through their work of growing and selling produce. The program consists of a classroom and administration area built out of shipping containers, and the landscape design of the farm area. The design was developed between two studios, one that focused on the architecture and the other, which I was part of, focused on the landscape architecture portion.*

I participated in the landscape design portion the process, which involved talking to our client, (the director of the program) and farmers in order to arrive at a functional site plan. I contributed by drawing the base plan for the master plan as well as researching and designing irrigation systems, analyzing water drainage around the site, designing a rain garden at the front of the site, analyzing the relationships between the site and its surroundings, and brainstorming ways in which shipping containers could be transformed into water cisterns for irrigation.

FILM FESTIVAL VIEWING WITH PERMANENT THEATER BELOW
This park located in Colli Albani, a neighborhood in the outskirts of Rome, explores the horizontal relationship between the public space and its visitors and surroundings. The concept began as a design for a venue that would host a film festival. The rich cinematographic history of Rome, and the relative proximity of the site to Cinecitta film studios, provided an excellent opportunity for cinema to be used as a catalyst for social interaction. To serve as a permanent economic generator, a small movie theater was designed underground. For film screenings during the festival, several viewing areas were introduced along the long, narrow middle ground in the form of artificial hills, or carved niches in the ground. These areas can also be used as discussion forums following the films. As a park during the day, the design incorporates seating in the form of benches as well as larger grass covered mounds that could also be used in a variety of ways. The park would also promote community interaction.

Built in the summer of 2014. In the process of being turned into a capital project with expected construction in 2017. The intersection of Greenpoint Ave, 48th Ave, and 47th St. was known for being a dangerous threeway intersection for pedestrians. The Pedestrian Projects Group at the NYC Department of Transportation was in charge of making the crossing points shorter and more direct. Cross walks were moved to make crossing points shorter, and pedestrian plazas were added to increase visibility of both pedestrians and cars. New signage was added, and crossing signals were also modified to give pedestrians more time to cross.
