INGRAINED FALL 2016 I ARCH_601 I P. NOONAN 8 WEEKS I TEAM MEMBER: GREGORY GOLDSTEIN
Derived from local lack of community connection in Edgewood, Washington DC, [Ingrained] seeks to serve as an architectural intervention in order to connect the fast paced, Michigan Ave. and 4th st NE, creating a new site for a community assembly building extending the fabric of the existing "Three Part Harmony" urban farm. Integration of nature is seen in various scales of the design from landscape to the structural parti of the building. Utilizing a continuous cross laminated timber frame, communal spaces are open plan allowing poche to be adjusted for a variety of functions. The breakage of communal spaces from the regulated structure directly correlates to the building's position within the site, allowing public spaces to overflow into landscape. Sustainable design is integrated within the built and natural elements to educate and inspire the occupants while harboring an accessible and nourishing environment for the community. Site Strategy

The community space in presents itself in a manner where occupants experience the structure much like one experiences a tree, from its roots to its canopy. Foundations are constructed of board formed concrete and raised above ground plane to emphasize the connection to CLT members. Broad steps extend from the foundation allowing the occupant to come to a holistic understanding of the foundation's nature as they ascend.

PURPLE LINE FALL 2017 I ARCH_700 I C. DUPUY 8 WEEKS I TEAM MEMBERS: WADIAH AKBAR & JIAYU LIN
This project explored the urban development of the Glenridge neighborhood that will soon become a stop along the incoming Purple Line. The proposal seeks to create a new transit oriented development and bring density to the neighborhood. Documentation of the site led to the goal of revitalizing some of the automotive focused businesses to create a well defined edge to Annapolis Rd. Introduction of a grid system allowed each neighborhood quadrant to be linked. The streets were designed to be pedestrian friendly through the intersections of crosswalks and vegetation buffers. A "greenway" was created based on the footprint of the existing Gallatin Street to link the existing communities to the new public gathering plaza and developments created as a result of the Purple Line. The station itself is buried underneath Annapolis road leading to a sunken plaza that provides a space for exhibits as well as an outdoor amphitheater. The masterplan was derived of two different mixed use block types that inspire to accommodate the increasing density and add character and create a sense of imageability for the neighborhood.

THESIS I DISPLACEMENT : placemaking for the uprooted FALL 2017 I CHAIR: J. VANDERGOOT COMMITTEE: B. KELLY, R. EISENBACH This thesis analyzes how architecture can mediate the process of assimilation into a new geography by creating a sense of place. The proposal does not intend to solve the problem of displacement, but rather open a conversation about belonging, memory, and hybridity as it applies to the migrant and the built environment. When architecture is discussed in relation to migration, it is likely to carry a negative connotation with regards to border walls and barriers. There is a lack of architectural precedent successfully accommodating migrating populations and creating a sense of welcome. To fill this gap, this thesis will propose the design of a dwelling for the displaced. The concept of displacement will be further explored through the design of a museum which will memorialize the remaining fragments of homelands and construe immigrants feelings of deracination to evoke a sense of empathy. The concept of dwelling will be studied programmatically and theoretically. The proposal will be situated in Washington, D.C. so that it may serve as a model for creating similar communities in this age of mass migration.

Home to a large migrant population, D.C. was chosen as the site for this thesis due to its population makeup and because it will elevate the issue of migration by becoming an apporpriate stage for this dialogue to take place. Although several sites in D.C. were orginally analyzed, Blagden Alley was chosen as the site due to its integrated nature within the urban fabric. It is also easily accessible by mass transit coming in and going out of the city. Blagden alley has a rich history of migration with lower income African American populations residing in and being displaced as the block added more commercial landuse. Migration is explored through the creation of the dwelling "sense of place" and the break in urban fabric to displace the dwellers and question the noticn of place.

The site of this mixed-use development is directly off the historic Logan Circle neighborhood. Unlike the other circles in D.C., Logan Circle is the only remaining circle that is surrounded by residential instead of commercial development. Through the use of regulating lines derived from the site located on 14th St Northwest, apartment units were placed within the grid created through the clash of the diagonal and the orthogonal which results in the central gathering space. This gathering space corresponds to how Logan Circle acts as an area of rest and retreat.

Each unit in the development is designed to have natural light, an exterior space, a flexible floor plan, and privacy. The atrium allows all of the units to experience some form of each of these elements and forms the most visible space of the building, a space of activity which mirrors the motion of the ever-changing street and neighborhood.

Each individual unit has access to an exterior space, natural light, and a flexible floor plan. Wood and concrete are used to link the facade with the interior. Wooden louvers wrap the facade to form shade from the sun and act as partitions for privacy for each apartment. Because it is used in a majority of small-scale residential projects, wood creates a more "home-like" feel within the dense urban context. North

Situated in Lahore, Pakistan, the Anguri Bagh housing project designed by architect Yasmeen Lari in 1975 proposes a solution to the problem of adaption of unfit western models in developing countries. The objective of this analysis was to examine how the project was the initial step in Lari's "unlearning" phase. Being both a woman and an insider-outsider due to her ethnicity and religion influenced many of the decisions made during the design process. The utilization of materiality, social use and configuration of outdoor/indoor space, and traditional passive systems allowed the Anguri Bagh housing to be both culturally and physically appropriate to its context. The series of diagrams exemplifies Yasmeen Lari's approach to architecture as at once anthropological and experiential[1], and emphasizes the need for reinterpreting traditional building practices to be appropriately utilized in contemporary design practice. 1.

FACETED LUMINANCE SPRING 2016 I ARCH_403 I M. EZBAN 1 WEEK I MIXED MEDIA I RHINO I PHOTOSHOP
This one week project's aim was to create a light tower in the historical site of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. The design was based on the form of the bastions in the fort, providing protection while allowing views to the outside. Originally, the pentagon plan of the fort was employed to form the essential layout of structure alluding to the past and the traditional nature of the fort. The distortion of the geometry of the pentagon results in the creation of the observation decks which recall the design of the bows of ships in the harbor as well as the bastions in the fort. In this case, visitors are able to occupy these bastions that read as fragments coming out of a strong central core, representative of the Baltimore community and the many issues it has overcome. The tower is meant to make its presence felt as a beacon of light representative of how Baltimore's tumultuous history has shaped a unique image of the city.
