VENICE

ZÜRICH

[ IMPROVISATIONAL ARCHITECTURE ]

Venice has long been the home to the Biennale, beginning with the first art exhibition dating back to 1895, and growing from there to encompass many other media. The Venice Biennale site is home to twenty nine pavilions built by various nations over the years, and designed by various architects including Aalto, Hoffmann, Rietveld, Scarpa and Striling. The intention of this studio was to design a gallery pavilion for the Biennale to accommodate the abundance of art on display. The pavilion could be either a temporary structure on the site or a permanent fixture added to the Biennale’s collection of buildings.

This studio was transient in nature, making its way though eight different European countries within a span of eight weeks. While along this journey, two more sites were selected to be home to a pavilion, of either temporary or permanent construction. The nature of this studio lead to a unique creative process due to constant stimulation from the ever changing environment around us as we moved around Europe. Conceptual drawings were formed on the media at hand, whether that be a sketchbook, napkin or hostel stationary. Final drawings were composed in a Beaux Arts analytique style consisting of plans, sections, elevations, perspectives.

[ VENICE ]

For my design I began by choosing a site within the Arsenale. The Arsenale was not originally part of the Biennale, it was home to those without a national pavilion, it was not officially incorporated until 1980. Due to the nature of Venice I felt it was appropriate to have a site along the water, since water permeates the entire island and is what brings life to the city of Venice making it unique from any other. The site is an corner along the water in the Arsenale. Not only did I want this pavilion to be along the water, I wanted it to interact with the water. The design hugs the corner, descending down over the edge. During high tide, water flows into the building, creating a separation between art and patron. The pavilion is isolated from the rest, creating a promenade to the entrance. I wanted to provide natural diffused light throughout the pavilion, so a louver system is utilized on the roof to light the space. This pavilion, as well as the others each have forced procession, making you flow through the space a certain way.

[ VENICE ]

On top of using water to separate patron from art, this pavilion has a small amphitheater space that overlooks the water, this space would also flood during high tide, giving patrons a chance to interact with the water as it spashes up onto the theater, simliarly to how water flows into Scarpa’s Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice.

[ AMSTERDAM ]

When selecting the second site, I felt it was important to select another city that had a unique attribute. The intention for the rest of the pavilions was not to simply place the same pavilion in three different sites, but to study each city and create three different designs that speak the same language, while also relate to their unique context. I decided upon Amsterdam due to its immense bicycle culture. Amsterdam has more bicycles than residents, with well over 881,000 bicycles in the city. Amsterdam is also home to Vondelpark, one of the larges parks in Amsterdam. Within Vondelpark there is a space where a bridge passes over the park, I felt this was a suitable location for the second site because it serves as an intersection between every mode of transportation in the city, bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists, both within the park as well as the road above.

[ AMSTERDAM ]

This pavilion serves not only as a gallery space, but also as a pathway from the bridge above to the park below. With the path leading you through all of the gallery spaces. The structure descends from the bridge above and wraps beneath, similarly to ow the Venice pavilion rested on the corner of the Arsenale. With this design louvers are still unitized, except this time they extend past the edge of the roof and shade the bridge.

A multiplicity of spaces are created within the concrete sell that encases the structure. From the bridge above, one can see the louvers extending off of the roof to shade them, as well as a view of one of the gallery spaces, The view is obscured though through the use of opaque glass. There is a cafe in the part of the intervention that exists beneath the bridge, providing a place for rest for cyclists and pedestrians as they make their way into the park.

[ AMSTERDAM ]

[ ZĂœRICH ]

Switzerland is know for it pure drinking water. The city has large public drinking fountains scattered throughout it. Because the water is so pure, the price of bottle drinking water is exorbitant, so encourage the use of the fountains. The final pavilion is seated on a cliff in a park in ZĂźrich, overlooking the river that flows through the city. A public drinking fountain sits on the site. The intention with this pavillion was to frame the fountain, while also giving the gallery spectacular views of the city. Lindenhof park is historic within the city, with many events and gatherings being held there each year. Lindenhof is a Swiss heritage site of national significance, because of this, this pavilion unlike the other two is a temporary installation.

[ ZĂœRICH ]

This pavilion, like the others, is composed of two stacked volumes. These volumes cantilever over the edge of the cliff. On top of the gallery spaces, this gallery features an observation space, to take in the spectacular views of the city and the river below. The public drinking fountain exists just to the left of the front of the structure, forcing patrons to flow past it to enter the pavilion. Due to the abundance of tress and the shady nature of the park, this pavilion unlike the other does not feature a louver system. This pavilion instead features clerestory windows to still allow natural light to penetrate the space. This pavilion, like the others features a roof top garden. When visiting this site many people were relaxing at the park, sitting along the cliff egde enjoying a picnic and after work drinks. The roof top garden space would provide another space for patrons of the gallery to congrigate after flowing through the gallery.

HMS Addition fall 2015

[ HMS ADDITION ]

With the growing nature of the architecture program, the objective of this design studio was to design an addition to the architecture building. This addition also included the renovation of the existing building. Each proposal was to include studio spaces, and auditorium, jury spaces, exhinition gallery, a lounge, classrooms, computer lab, workshop, digital lab, administration and faculty offices, as well as the Florida center and a library. The existing tress on the site provide a great amount of shade, because of this the design worked around the tress, as to not disturb them, leading to a irregular shape. Connection to the existing building is provided through a small bridge on the north east side of the addition. Due to the face that the existing architecute building is quite dark, with few windows and very little natural light, the goal was to design a building that utilized as much natual light a possible. Currently the work produced in the architecture building is little know my a large portion of the University of South Florida student body. The Sessums Mall runs directly in front of the site and it a major east - west axis though campus.

Placing the exhibition gallery along this axis serves to give much needed exposure to the architecute students.

Adjacent to the gallery space is also a cafe and lounge area, that would bring non-architecture students into the building, giving more opputunities for exposure to the work displayed.

relation between existing and addition

The height of the auditorium serves to not only anchor the building, but also to relate to the existing architecture building. From there the form of the building steps down to relate to the surrounding buildings. The studio bar rests upon the library and gallery spaces wile notcing into the auditorium. It is in contrast with visual heaviness of the auditorium, being mostly glass, with a shading device wrapped around the east, west, and south sides. In contrast with the layout of the existing architecute building the studio is an open floor plan free of dividers, facilitating communication between students. Continuting with the open floor plan, the graduate studios are connected to the auditorium spaces, allowing students to easily attend lectures, as well as hear them from their studios. Overlooking the studios is a mezzanine space, this spaces serves as both a gathering space, as well as jury rooms for presentations. The studios are open to below, with a direct connection to the library, cafe and lounge area. The interior of the existing architecture building was renovated to provided the needed spaces, as well as create a better studio enviornment. Instead of the old divided studios, now the undergraduate studios have a mostly open floor plan, with only a single wall dividing each studio space, with a coommunial area connecting the studios allowing students to have a gahtering area for discussions. The undergraduate studios are also on the third floor of the building allowing them to also easily access the graduate studios.

Sarasota Housing Tower fall 2015

[ SARASOTA HOUSING TOWER ]

The intent of this project was to create a mixed income living environment for the bayfront area in Sarasota, Florida. The site located between South Palm Ave and Gulf Stream is in a large shopping district, so the project encompasses commercial and residential spaces.

The site is in the Downtown Bayfront zone district, the current code in the are limits buildings to fifty dwelling units per acre, which would only allow for a maximum of fifty four units in the tower. The building height limit for this zone is eightteen stories. Intstructions for this assignment were to ignore the current code and instead max out the possible building size, with the potential for this to be used to establish a new code.

The project features primarily exterior circulation. The design provides a sense of community, with plenty of chances for interaction. At the core of the project are the elevator towers, the express elevator deposits residents, every four floors in a large courtyard space, allowing them to either take the secondary elevator to their exact floor, or take the stairs.

The circulation in the building serves as as shading device for the dwellings. Each unit has a terrace that connects to the circulation. To still allow enough light to penetrate, the terraces are the only part of the walkway to touch the units, with a large space being provided between the two. The terraces on each floor are also staggered, creating a unique spatial condition. In order to create a community space on the gournd, there is a lack of podium in the design, with the parking structure being the only large mass to interact with the ground. The south corner of the building lightly touches the gournd to provide a maximum of community space. The unusual form was derived from the desire to create as many ocean views as possible, as well as creating more gathering spaces for the residents. The units range in size from single bedroom to four bedroom, with six different types of units. Along palm drive there are live|work units bringing both more commerce into the area, as well as more housing. The first four floor are dedicated to retail spaces as well as amenities for the residents.

Faith House Florida spring 2015

[ FAITH HOUSE FLORIDA ] in collaboration with jesse eliassen

Faith House Florida is an organization based in St. Petersburg, Florida that specializes in community reintergration. For over forty years they have been working with individuals who chronically abuse drugs and alcohol, and those who have recently been released from prison to help them transition back into the community.

Faith House Florida provides residents with a place to live, balanced meals, and a structured supervised environment. Residents are taught to be self-sufficient to aid in their road to recovery. Faith House is limited though due to their existing buildings, to continue to help the community grow, they themselve must grow.

Currently on the campus there are four buildings, one serves as the kitchen, administration, and male dorms, another as a female dorm, the last two are currently empty. Faith House currently lacks the facilities to accept those suffering from disiblities, as well as transgender individuals. Not only does Faith House want to develop their campus, they also want to incorperate veterans into their center, providing specialized treatment for those that have served their country. The intent of this studio course was to envision the future of Faith House Florida and design the campus master plan, as well as address the existing underdeveloped community. Unity park, which is just down the street from Faith House is a area that is known for its high level of drug use, creating a source of tempation for those residing at Faith House. The design process began by creating a series of conceptual section drawings of a utopian faith house. These sections drawing served to aid in the visulization of the character of the spaces, as well as the form the future Faith House might take.

Conceptual sections and master plans served as a generator for ideas for the future of Faith House Florida. The campus program included sleeping quaters to accomodate thirty males, thirty females, and ten transgender residents, bathroom facilities, residents livingroom, kitchen and dining, veterans therapy center, a small chapel, urban farming, one retail space, two multipurpose spaces for classes and meeting, and four seperate ourdoor spaces. This project began as an individaul process, to facilitate the generation of of many solutions to the design problem. After producing plans, sections, and a master plan model, each team memebers designs were presented and the strongest attributes from each project were combined to further the project. The design incopeoratedd the use of many green elments and urban farming. The Faith House Florida campus master plan includes seven buildings, administration, transgender dorms, male dorms, female dorms, veterans center, kitchen and a retail space. The campus features all exterior circulation, with most of the campus buildings being shaded by a inhabitable green roof. Porgramatically the campus is centered around the kitchen/dining, with the dorms lining the west side of the campus. Gardens line the east side of the campus and serve as a spatial barrier betweeen Faith House and the street. On the north end of the campus sits the administration building, from here the faculty can monitor those entering the campus from the bus stop, which serves as the main mode of transportation for most residents. The south end of the campus is enclosed with the veterans therapy center.

The proposal for Faith House Florida campus incorporates many learning spaces so that those that are residents there can learn a trade that they can then take out into the real world with them. This ties in with the retail space. Residents have the opportunity to create something that then can be sold to produce revenue for Faith House, while also giving the residents experience they can take out into the real world as a marketable skill. This idea was then expounded upon to become part of Unity park. Within Unity park there are a series of live|works that would be in collaboration with Faith House. These live|works would serve as a way to slowly integrate the Faith House residents back into the community. A member of the community would employ the Faith House resident for their business who would live and work their, with them using the skills they learned in a class at the Faith House. This would bring local businesses into the area while creating connections for the residents. When addressing the solution to Unity park, it was decided upon that the easiest way to deter crime was to have people watching. On top of the live|works many amenities were placed into unity park to generate public interest in the space. The park features a small amphitheater, and artists residence wall, retail spaces, a crossfit gym, yoga studio, dog park, a coffee shop, a small restaurant, as well as a large portion of public allotments. The surrounding neighborhoods are filled with apartment complexes, which are not condusive for those who would like to have garden. the public allotments would bring people into the area as well as provide more fresh food for neighboring restaurants.

Community tool would be stored in tool sheds spaced throughout the gardens

The Faith House Florida campus and Unity park interventions have a strong language that tie them all together. The Faith House campus is shaded by a large roof that is broken into two segments. One that runs north|south shading the dorms, which is overlapped by a secondary roof running east|west that shades the kitchen rooftop terrace. This roof then folds on the south end of the campus becoming a large terrace that food can be grown on before touching the ground. This trellising is also repeated in the live|works as well as the bus stop, cafe, restaurant, and tool sheds located in Unity park. The design also features other green elements. Along the exterior walls of the dorms is a green wall that facilitates the growing of spices. Because the gardens are sure a prominent part of the Faith House, the goal was to provide them with more potential gardening space than before the project began. Many of teh surfaces on the Faith House campus can be used for the growth of plants, the dorm wall, the railings on the stairs, the roof, as well as the railings on the dorm balconies.

The kitchen area povides a space not only for cooking and dining, but also for instruction so that residence that have an interest can learn how to cook. The doors on the west side of the kitchen fully open to allow for one to seamlessly transition from interior to exterior. This also allows for larger gatherings to be held in the communal space. Much of the construction of Faith House is intended to be concrete and steel, to soften this mant wood elements have been designed to make the space feel warmer. The ceiling in the kithcen is composed to dropped finished plywood panels. The interior of the dorms has the same ceiling trealment.

Casa Dwell spring 2016

[ CASA DWELL ] in collaboration with Yesenia Vega

Partering with Celebrate Outreach based in St. Petersburg, Florida the intention with this course was to create residences for homeless veterans. The homes aimed to be under 500 square feet while still providing a comfotable dwelling, intergrate easily into the landscape of St. Petersburg, as well as staying under a budget of $20,000. The 20k Homes designed by Rural Studio in Alabama were studied as precedent. This course challeged our design skills in thinking outside of the American standard of living, by creating versatile spaces within our homes and maximizing every space. Each hoem was required to have a maximum area of 500 square feet, a sleeping area, bathroom, desk area, cooking station, entertainment wall, exterior seating and storage space. The studio began as an individaul process, with each student creating a unique design. After the midterm presentation, the best seven designs were selected to be further developed.

PRELIMINARY MATERIALS

standing seam metal roofing

lumber

polycarbonate sheets

The basis of design for Casa Dwell is a solid wrapping shell, which holds a transparent interior. To achieve this standind seam metal roofing was selected to encase the exterior facades. This standing seam would then transition into a perforated metal to give the porch privacy, while stil letting in light. Due to the high cost of glass, polycarbonate panels were selected as a cost effective alternative to create the desired transpacy, while still giving privacy to the occupant. The design is an extruded volume, that contains another volume. This interior volume is home to closet spaces, as well as the HVAC and plumbing, while encasing the bathroom and providing extra storage above. The preliminary design featured a sliding screen system that seperated the public and private realms of the home.

Being that Casa Dwell was the smallest proposed design, with having a total footprint of only 20ft x 25ft there were concerns that the spaces were too small to be a comfortable dwelling. To ensure that the home would be suitable for a single occupant, Yesenia Vega and I drew out 1:1 scale floor plans on the concrete pad outside of the architecture building to get a feel for the size of the home. The design proved to be more than enough for one person.

1/2’ scale final model

final floor plans

The final design utilizes a sliding barn door instead of the original custom screen door. There is one large door that slides between the two openings, closing off either the bathroom, or the bedroom. The floor of the design is a polised concrete finish, which the in the bathroom slopes down to the drain.

The exterior of the porch is finished with treated plywood, this serves to soften the appearence of the home, given that the exterior is completely metal.

Three glulam beams are used as collar in the structure as well as an arcitectural detail.

Florida Landscape nancy sanders

Through a New Lense summer 2016

[ LOXAHATCHEE RIVER ] “Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?” That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.”

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

The Loxahatchee River is a place I know well. I know the winds, turns and challenges around each corner. The alligators that live on the river, and their manatee friends.

My first trip on the river was in 2013 and I have gone at least once a year ever since. I have seen the river at its highest and lowest, and watched it change over the years.

Every time is a slightly different experience even though it is the same stretch of river.

masten dam

The river begins as a narrow fresh water creek that is lined with cypress trees which through the course of the river transitions to brackish water and finally salt water lined with mangroves, and when it reaches Jonathan Dickinson it is flanked by pine scrub forests. The river can give an individual a glimpse into many different landscapes of Florida. The name of the Loxahatchee River gets its origins from the Seminole Indians which translates to “Lowchow for turtle and “Hatchee” for river. The Loxahatchee river was the first river in Florida to be federally designated as a “wild and scenic” river on May 17, 1985. This makes it one of the best glimpses into what the natural landscape in this area once looked like. The river is fairly popular, but only with locals, tourists come to Florida for the beaches, but the natives love it for a whole different reason.

Besides other people kayaking and canoeing on the river there is not much of the outside world visible from the river. Two major roads cross over it but when on those roads you have no idea of the gorgeous natural landscape you are passing right over. The only other sign of human intervention along the river are two dams that were constructed for irrigation purposes in the 1930s. These two dams are frequent stopping points along the river for many kayakers including myself. They also provide a bit of a challenge when kayaking back up the river because of the velocity at which the water flows over it. There was also once an old bridge that spanned the river near the beginning, that created a bit of an obstacle because if the river was too high you aren’t able to flow under it, but it has since fallen down leaving behind only the remnants of the supports of the bridge.

Trapper Nelson played a leading role in preserving a large portion of the Loxahatchee River. He moved out on the river in 1934 and at one point he owned upward of 1000 acres of mush coveted land along the river on which he housed many wild animals. He lived off the land, eating fish he caught on the river and supported himself by running a zoo out on his property. Once he passed away the land was taken over by the state of Florida which added 850 acres to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

His property has become a popular stop along the river, whether one is coming from Jonathan Dickinson or Riverbend park.

I have kayaked on the river a total of 6 times, and every time is different. The landscape is in a constant state of change. This last trip was different from all the others in which that I was alone on my journey as well as I did the entire 8.5 mile stretch of river instead of just going to Masten dam and back. I was out on the river earlier than normal which meant that most of the wildlife was not yet making an appearance along the river side. I have seen upward of seven alligators in one trip along this river, this time I only encountered four. The river was the highest I have ever seen it which made the journey different. There were passageways open that I would normally not be able to paddle through because the water level did not permit it. During the dry season one must be most skilled to navigate the river because some portions are a challenge with narrow passages. My latest trip I encountered a newly fallen tree which made for a drastic change in the landscape, one that may impassable once the water level recedes.

With my mappings I wanted to explore many aspects of the river both from my personal experience over the years as well as from my research. I have taken many photographs on my many adventures on the river, when I went back and reviewed them I noticed that they was a very distinct difference in my photographs from when I was with my friends to when I kayaked the river alone. I wanted to compare these photos, and the dichotomy between my experiential photos and my documentation photos. They create and interesting relationship, showcasing both the pristine landscape and the activity that occupies it. As I was kayaking I noticed many things I did not normally notice on my other treks, partially because of the distraction of my friends, but also because I went farther down the river than I ever have before. One of the things I noticed was the change within the tree canopy from the tall shading cypress tress to the dense mangroves along the shore, and the subtle changes in the water through the course of my journey.
