amazing years of sponsorship! For 10 years, Pella Windows and Doors has been the program sponsor for the Design Showcase at NJIT’s College of Architecture and Design. We realize that Pella has the opportunity to support a variety of schools and a variety of initiatives, and we are grateful that they continue to choose our event. The many years of continued support demonstrate not just their dedication to the College, but also their relationships and support for our alumni. We truly appreciate their continued involvement in this event and look forward to seeing Pella in our Gallery in future years.

DESIGN SHOWCASE

2016

WELCOME TO CoAD Since 1973, the College of Architecture and Design (CoAD) has led almost 40 classes of bright and ambitious students toward intellectual growth, creative achievement, and professional success. The New Jersey School of Architecture, directed by Professor Richard Garber, offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture, a Masters Degree in Infrastructure Planning and the Urban Systems Ph.D program (in conjunction with Rutgers University). The School or Art + Design, directed by Professor Glenn Goldman, offers undergraduate degrees in Digital Design, Interior Design, and Industrial Design. Under the direction of Dean Urs Gauchat since 1991, the school has developed a national reputation for excellence. By offering outstanding educational initiatives and instituting technology enabled design, we provide our students the equivalent of a private school education at a public university. This has been an exciting year for our school as we have implemented initiatives and celebrated achievement. Here is a glimpse of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been happening in the College: Built a student-run 3D print lab which provides a 3D printing resource to all students in all disciplines for model making and prototyping. With more than a dozen printers and a dedicated group of student volunteers, we have been able to incorporate 3D prints into class curriculum as well as outside presentations to groups like NJ Transit. Expanded our summer program offerings for high school students to include Industrial Design and Video Game Design. With manufacturing returning to Newark and incoming students so in-tune with video games and apps, this was a natural area of growth and has already shown to be the right move for CoAD in attracting future students. Added Digital Fabrication to our architecture curriculum. This includes a future dedicated space and the purchase of two new CNC machines with more advanced technology and capability than we currently have. Continued in our tradition of award winning students from the School of Art + Design with more than 45 students participating in national design competitions in 2015. We are constantly looking to grow, improve, innovate and provide the best opportunities for our students. Design weaves its way through every discipline we teach and is the core of our environment. Thank you for being here to see and celebrate our incredible student and alumni work. We are excited for the next 10 years of Design Showcase and the next 40 years of graduates.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF CoAD This year is our 10th Design Showcase. It is a major fundraising event for the College of Architecture & Design, and was originally conceived as an event which would strengthen the bond between our students and our alumni. Given the fact that we have had nearly 3500 graduates since the first graduating class in 1977, our alumni are dispersed across the globe. Many have chosen to stay within traditional professional fields, whereas others have used their CoAD education as a springboard into a plethora of career paths. Design Showcase is an annual event at which our graduates meet the next generation of talent. It provides an opportunity for our students to interact with some of our successful graduates who can act as potential role models or mentors. They meet our present students who are full of ambition and idealism, and have the wish to turn dreams into reality. We see ourselves as a place where students obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to become successful. Above all though, it is the attitude of our students which sets them apart from their contemporaries at other universities. They have a can-do attitude, they are willing to work hard, they are creative and they believe that they can make a difference. Most of our students are not only superbly competent, but they are remarkable human beings who want to have a positive impact on the world around them. It seems that a hallmark of our graduates is the commitment to make a contribution to society as professionals and also as engaged and civically-minded individuals. The college exists to open doors and to provide opportunities for our students. Design Showcase is the one event per year that allows our students to network with our alumni. Most importantly, this event provides an opportunity to hire future collaborators, partners or owners of their companies. Particularly at a time of rapid technological advances, it is important to be exposed to what our students are capable of and to speculate how that could be of use to you.

A MESSAGE FROM THE SHOWCASE CO-CHAIRS Welcome! We are very pleased that you have chosen to take part in our tenth annual gala celebration highlighting the design excellence of current and former College of Architecture and Design students. Thank you for joining us. The talented work of our students and alumni gives shape to our world every day. They contribute specialized skills and knowledge to our region’s economic development. Our graduates also create new intellectual property and serve as indispensable advisors to industry and government. As you can see from the exhibited designs, our graduates and students shape and help build appealing, state-of-the-art schools and healthcare facilities, houses, museums, libraries, commercial properties and entire communities. They are designing innovative new products, games and interiors. Under the direction of Dean Urs Gauchat, and Directors Glenn Goldman and Richard Garber, our students are taught to invent, to take risks and to reexamine the design process. They are taught business and presentation skills useful to employers, as well as the best in technical and design skills. They learn an attitute as well - the importance of contributing to the civic good. Many people have labored to make this exhibit a success. Our Alumni have given their time and their efforts. The staff have worked diligently. Our sponsors generously contriubted funds to support the program, and to support scholarships at the school - funds that enable ambitious, talented young people to develop their design skills. Thank you for taking part in this event. We hope that you will be inspired by the work of our alumni and students, and will benefit from strengthening your relationships with them. Enjoy the showcase!

THE CHALLENGE

To update and increase capacity of an already cherished, highly utilized and well maintained 24/7 home for long term care residents. Set gently atop a hill on its six-acre campus, the Lillian Booth Actors’ Home had been operating at full capacity due to the excellent care it provided its residents. However, its physical plant was dated, unable to support the standard of care expectations and unable to meet new demand for beds. The existing building configuration was disjointed and did not allow for optimal socialization or efficiency in staffing. A series of 4 existing wings connected by a linear corridor left residents traveling long distances with dead ends that isolated them from one another. A lower level wing that was completely abandoned proved to be a catalyst for the project as it provided the swing space necessary to initiate a multi-phase movement of residents.

THE SOLUTION

DISCONNECTED MASSING

7 8

The strongest aspect of the original layout was the clear central spine connecting the primary resident areas. This is maintained in the new design parti and further enhanced to highlight its importance to the vitality of the facility. A new secure memory care unit and a new sub-acute rehab unit anchor the corridor on each end. Both include fully accessible outdoor courtyards for recreation and therapy. In total, this project adds 45 new beds and supports a full continuum of care. This renovation presents an updated face to the campus, while paying homage to the former bungalow styled structures of the outdated facility. A crucial improvement within the new design is the inter-connection of the dead end corridors found in the original disparate 4 wings of the building. The connection now allows for greater resident socialization and better staff flow. Spaces are designed to maximize natural lighting through expansive windows with views of the courtyards, gardens and the great lawn. The new facility will create a resident-centered, home-like setting uniquely poised to transform care. It will help to enhance independence, encourage participation and preserve dignity, all in a modern, supportive environment. At the entrance of the facility, an entirely new stage is set. A previous patio and garden, loved by the Home’s residents, is reimagined within an inviting garden entrance featuring a weathering (CorTen) steel trellis/shade structure, a larger more protective porte-cochere, and water feature. The backdrop to this patio is now a dramatic curving, faceted glass façade which encloses expanded program space to be used as both a warm, sun filled resident space or alternatively as a welcoming lobby for larger events and functions that the Home may hold. The glazing allows open views to the activity of the main entrance and the gardens beyond, bringing nature visually into the space.

Museum Structure Art Gallery & Eateries Structure Office Structure Exterior Structure Hallway Structure

Concept summary The design faces a challenge with the existing structure, solving this obstacle by exploring alternative ideas and techniques within the field of adaptive reuse. The proposal for the site involves demolishing parts of the existing building and reusing the material in order to construct an adaptive structure. This allows for clear access into and circulation within the building. This new network would be guiding the visitors and the structure will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;adaptingâ&#x20AC;? whenever the program or location changes.

GROUND PLAN / PARK LANDSCAPE DIAGRAM

By placing the public functions of the boutique hotel underground , the latent historic below ground level of Prague is once again reactivated. The hotel lobby is located at the northeast corner of the site. It is the located neartest main / only intersection of vehicular access; this provides convenience to arriving guests and convenience to practical realities such as maintenance and repairs, deliveries, etc. The majority of the below ground level is open space for vendors, performances and art exhibitions.

All of the vegetation planted in the landscape / hotel gardens are very shade tolerant. Plants and trees that are more sensitive to consistent sun exposure are planted on the periphery of the site. The chart above diagrammatically represents each type of vegetation’s bloom / active color across the four seasons. The sun symbols represent necessary sun exposure, and the numbers represent the vegetations mature height and root or growth spread respectively.

LONG SECTION PERSPECTIVE

The design of the boutique hotel aims to sensitively integrate a contemporary structure into a collaged context of baroque, gothic and medieval architecture. Historically, the open site of Old Town Square has been waiting to be reinstated, but the void is a condition of contemporary Prague. The design of the new boutique hotel considers both of these realities. One can traverse the site as a public park as the landscape of the ground floor allows for visual and pedestrian access across the site in all directions, or decend underground to the latent below grade level of historic Prague where one can access the hotel, restaurant, exhibition space and vendors. The site will be illuminated by sunlight that slices through the elevated geometries of the rooms raised far above the ground plane, creating a built canopy above the public realm. The balanced distribution of rooms allows for each unit to have uniqueness, and similarity. Continuous transparency through the roof and floors of the rooms will allow sun to pierce through and generate further interest in the shapes of light and shadow that reach the ground. The lightweight structure and doubled up contextual planes become the forum that bridges landscape from the ground up to the canopy.

Concept summary Through the initial research into mediatation and yoga as well as the practice of Zen the idea of a private or sacred space existing within the public and hectic outside world was found. All of the research material dealt with this space on the personal level, how to feel secure in ones self and connect with nature, for its healing properties, within ones own sacred space, allowing a person to find peace. Wooded Court evolved from the intial idea of sacred space with a close connection to nature. The building exists as a barrier between two distinct spaces; the outside grove, which is planted to appear natural and uncontrolled, and the interior courtyard which houses one large oak, a statement of serenity and control. Wooded grove not only serves as a barrier between these two experiential spaces but serves as a place to experience both exterior spaces simialtaneously, a buffer or transition zone between the “in” and the “out”. Wooded Court exists as a place for physical healing and medicine with a serene attachment to the mental and spiritual healing of nature and mediation.
