Daniel Corn | Nicholas Gascon |Leah Crowe Bahia de Caraquez is a coastal city in Equador with a strong Latin influence that has recently been devasted by earthquakes. The city gains most of its income from tourism, fishing, and agriculture but has lost a lot of its infrastructure and community by recent natural disaters. A vacant hilltop will be used to create a place for Bahia’s people through sustainable and vernacular design.
Bahía de Caráquez es una ciudad costera de Ecuador con una fuerte influencia latina que recientemente ha sido devastada por terremotos. La ciudad obtiene la mayor parte de sus ingresos del turismo, la pesca y la agricultura, pero ha perdido gran parte de su infraestructura y comunidad por los recientes desastres naturales. Se utilizará la cima de una colina vacante para crear un lugar para la gente de Bahía a través de un diseño sostenible y vernáculo.

Nuestro objetivo es realzar la belleza natural de bahia y crear un sentido profundo de lugar en la colina. Queremos crear un pueblo sostenible que trabaje con, en lugar de en contra de las limitaciones naturales, y aborde los problemas de accesibilidad al agua. Cada miembro de nuestro pueblo merece acceso a espacios públicos recreativos para la interacción y el disfrute personal. Nuestros diseños se esfuerzan por ser multiusos, funcionales y estéticamente armoniosos con el paisaje. También deberían ser alcanzables para que cualquiera construya en la colina.

The first drawings and junk model show a dense settlement at the top of the hill with water being pumped up from the sea and to the top of the hill with pedestrian only walkways. Air gondolas take you over agriculture fields on either side of the hill that are fed from the river. Plazas are scattered throughout with the largest being at the church to the North-East. The center of economic activity is at the very top with residential houses sloping down the hill and connecting back to Bahia.
Los primeros dibujos y el modelo de chatarra muestran un asentamiento denso en la cima de la colina con agua que se bombea desde el mar y hasta la cima de la colina con pasarelas peatonales. Las góndolas aéreas lo llevan por los campos agrícolas a ambos lados de la colina que se alimentan del río. Las plazas están dispersas por todas partes y la más grande está en la iglesia al noreste. El centro de la actividad económica está en la parte superior con casas residenciales que descienden por la colina y se conectan con Bahía.

The “SeaRaser” developed by Ecotricity, a UK based green energy company, can pump 137,000 cubic meters of water uphill a day. This technology is relatively cheap costing an estimated $0.02 per kWh to produce and will be used to pump water to shore where it is desalinated. After the water is desalinated at the shore it is sent further up the hill to be recycled between the two ponds.
The system is relatively cheap and efficient and the energy obtained in the solar panels is used to power compact desalination machines stored in shipping containers.

The Tampa Greenway Advanced Design B | Halfants | Fall 2021 Nicholas Gascon | Bobby Jiang | Enrique Barnett The Selmon Expressway has been removed and the space left in its wake provides opportunity to reinvigorate Tampa’s downtown area. A greenway of interconnecting public parks and plazas with a Gondola system overhead will connect Western Ybor to Hyde Park with mixed use highrises along its edges. This urban valley will create a stronger sense of place in Tampa’s downtown and knit together the city once separated by the Selmon Express highway.

Advanced Design B | Powers | Spring 2022 Florida’s everglades are in decline with water qualities worsening from human pollution.
The Ecological Science Research Center for Everglades National Park sits on the edge of the marsh closely monitoring the water while providing a place for its inhabitants to live harmoniously with their surroundings. Moments along the main circulation branch off into the river for recreation, exploration, and reflection. Residents sleep amongst the Everglade’s vast avian wildlife fifteen to twenty-five foot above grade with views of the vast pine to the North and communal spaces facing the water. Early Seminole inhabitants of the Everglades gathered near the waters edge around a campfire to eat and share stories. The lodge at the center of the village acts as a focal gathering point with a watchtower at the end overwatching the wildlife and the research center’s inhabitants.
Everglades Research Center
Everglades National Park is a 1.5-million-acre wetlands preserve located in Southern Florida. Often compared to a grassy, slow-moving river, the Everglades is made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes and pine flatwoods that are home to hundreds of animal species.

The Seminoles lived in "Chickee" that were constructed from cypress and palm thatch. These log cabin-type homes were 2 stories tall with sleeping quarters upstairs. The house was relatively fast to construct and also disposable when they had to run.
75
Seminole history begins with bands of Creek Indians from Georgia and Alabama who migrated to Florida in the 1700s. Conflict with other tribes and Europeans made them seek new lands in order to live in peace. In 1821, the lives of many southern indigenous people were changed when U.S. troops under Andrew Jackson pushed them out to the West of the Mississippi river. By 1913 the Seminole in the Everglades were no more than 350 with the people living in relative isolation from the majority culture.
Final BirdseyeDesignofresearch center The ecological science research center is interconnected by walkways elevated 5’ above grade along the edge of the marsh. The lodge is located inbetween the cabins to the West and the science labs to the East acting as a focal gathering place for the facility’s occupants.

Ottawa Research Center
Advanced Design B | Powers | Spring 2022 Standing at the top of a hill, the Ottawa research and education center acts as an inhabitable retreat amongst the trees with paths that slope downwards through the forest until you meet the water’s edge. Story telling was a focal point of Ojibwe tradition which was integrated into the design of the amphitheater that acts as an anchor connecting the separated private and public masses. The main objective of the center is to bring people together to learn, share, and experience nature and the environment around them by forming an experiential and informational threshold to the site. Its transparent façade also allows for maximum solar energy to enter during the winter and be stored with sufficient openings on its backside to allow for ventilation during the summer. Michigan’s copper mining traditions are also reflected in the building’s weathering copper roof that will, like the seasons, eventually change and merge with the tree canopy.

The Ottawa National Forest is located in the upper peninsula of Michigan under the jurisdiction of the U.S Forest Service. The climate consists of mainly boreal forests covered by spruce, pines, and birch that experience the 4 seasons of the year. Area: 1 mil acres Elevation : Up to 1800’ Summer Temps.

Traditionally, the Ojibwe would come together around bonfires to share stories and trade. Recently, there has been a “quest to reconnect to their food traditions” where the Ojibwe have been expanding community gardens and have started mobile kitchens to teach communities about nutritious food preparation.
The Ojibwe are one of the largest tribal populations among Native American peoples. They are respected keepers of detailed and complex scrolls, maps, and stories that record their history. Some of the oldest maps of North America were made by the Ojibwe on birch bark scrolls. They traded across the continent for thousands of years migrating via 95

Modern Housing Design Development| Currea |Summer 2022 The Oasis is a mixed use building on riverfront property located in Tampa, Florida, bewetween W Oask Ave and Market Street. The once vacant two acre lot is scheduled for RMU-100 land use and has been used to build a 7 story mixed use building with public ammenities. Oasis stands 92’ feet tall with the ground floor being used for retail, utilities, and parking, the second for an open public courtyard with ammenities and the rest for residential and offices on it’s South-Eastern corner. Circulation occurs on every other floor with various unit typees and double heighted spaces. The project extends and activates the public space from armature works to further continue the riverwalk West.

The site is in Tampa, Florida, inbetween Market street and W Oak Avenue with a view of the Hillsborough river looking Southwards towards Tampa’s skyline. The chosen lot is currently empty and directly next to a public hotspot that connects back to the city core through a riverwalk. The surrounding lots are vacant and connect to the residential district to the North West. It has an opportunity to be part of a phase of designs that act as the threshold connecting the residential district to an urban village and ultimately downtown Tampa. Tampa

The 2 acre lot has retail and MEP services along the perimeter of the first floor that enclose the parking garage which acts as the floor for the inner courtyard. The entrance to the South-East welcomes the public from Armature works while also connecting to the riverwalk from its Southern opening. Residential units with a run-skip-run form of circulation all look outward with private spaces facing inwards to the courtyard.

Each floor on the perimeter of the building above level 2 is made of beamless 8” post-tensioned concrete systems to achieve 45’ spans. The parking garage uses a two-way flat concrete plate system with drop panels due to the non-uniformity of it’s column grid and to allow more space between vehicular lanes. An adjustable metal louver system wraps around the building from the fourth floor and above to control the heat and sunlight entering units. North-East

Model Making Sarasota Sailing Club | Pirozzi | Winter 2021 This project was also a group project made over the winter break by me, Enrique Barnett and Alan Zreik. The proposed design was done by Derek Pirozzi for the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. The new Sarasota Youth Sailing Eduction building acts as a community oriented place on the edge of the water that functions as an education center and a house for boats. The design gets its character from the vernacular of the place and uses its butterfly roofs to collect water which is then stored in tanks on either side.
