THE ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL OF CATASTROPHE “Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning Architecture” Boston, MA 2019 Collaboration with Madeline Bany & Hannah Underwood Assuming the issue of climate change remains neglected by 2045, catastrophic results will become the new norm in the US and around the world. Subsequently, an increase in the amount of natural disasters and their degree of intensity will threaten metropolitan areas and a majority of the US population. The mission will no longer be to prevent climate change, but to adapt to it in preparation for future survival. FEMA’s new sector, The Architecture School of Catastrophe, reteaches professional architects to propose immediate solutions for resolving damage from catastrophic natural disasters and assessing opportunities for reuse. In preparation for disaster events, the so called “Crisis Architects” must consider both short and long-term solutions for the reconstruction, retrofit, and adaptation of existing buildings to create resilient, sustainable communities. For this new school typology, architecture will no longer be a celebration of design for the sake of aesthetics; the future of architecture must primarily be resilient, efficient, defensive, and adaptable in a rapidly changing climate. 4
BECOME A CRISIS ARCHITECT AT THE
ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL OF CATASTROPHE Concept Poster
Professional architects are admitted into a four-month long educational retraining program. In a given semester, 100 architects from each of the 10 regions are drafted into the post-professional program, for a total of 1000 students attending the school at a time. Once students graduate from the School, they return to their regions to continue working as full-time architects. During catastrophic natural disasters, they act as Crisis Architects to propose immediate solutions for resolving damage. In preparation for catastrophic events, Crisis Architects must also consider long-term solutions for the reconstruction, retrofit, and adaptation of existing buildings to create resilient, sustainable communities.

First Floor Plan
The ASC is located in a tangle of infrastructure and overpasses next to the Charles River, making it vulnerable to flooding. To curb environmental impact, the building’s main floor sits 25’ above ground level, and allows the site to flood. As such, the School is divided into two sections: the living quarters and the education studios, and utilizes the overpass that bisects the ASC as a pedestrian corridor. This provides access to School while allowing the public to engage with the Danger Lab, a customizable simulation space able to produce every climate and disaster condition. Surrounding the Danger Lab are spaces for viewing, building, and smaller simulation environments. A crane runs the length of the ASC’s interior and allows for efficient transportation of materials and models.

In recent years, the video game industry has boomed globally with millions of online players and thousands of spectators. The E-Sports industry, consequently, has produced competitive recreational teams and college leagues. Marquette University is jumping on this trend by being the first major conference Division I institution to add varsity E-Sports to its athletics. The one-thousand square-foot renovation includes spaces for twenty E-Sport gamers, and additional space for group and spectator use.

Dichroic glass separates the E-Sports Suite from the remaining lounge, with a backlit metal panel featuring the Marquette logo welcoming students into the suite. The interior features individual gaming stations for up to twenty students, as well as a casual console area for group use. In addition, a feature wall acts as a dedicated broadcast and production space for students to review game strategies and live stream. A hightop counter along the back wall provides additional storage and space for students to work. While the primary use of E-sports Suite is reserved for Marquette’s varsity team, the suite is otherwise open to student groups and activites.

SHIFT Student-Led Design Build Ames, Iowa 2017 Photographer: Chris Gannon Designed for Reliable Street Ames in the spring of 2017, SHIFT is a collaboration between 87 secondyear architecture students. Located at the site of the historic Doboy Mill, the project is an inclusive outdoor space for adults and children alike to rest, play, and interact with the structure. Through expressive form, layered spaces, and solar lighting, SHIFT sparks engagement from the surrounding community. The project consists of cedar planks and was designed and fabricated over the span of two months.

All logistics, physical models, digital models, construction documents, were led and completed byt sudents, along with the fabrication and assembly of the structure. Students were divided into several groups to create an even work load while being introduced to different elements of the design-build process. In addition, students learned multiple aspects of firm business by collaborating with real clients and experiencing aspects of presenting, communicating, budgeting. My primary duties were coordinating logistics (budgeting, schedules), safety (managing safety certifications and proper PPE), assembly of the scale model, and the fabrication and assembly of the structure.

Library Reading Space
“THE ANCIENT LAND” EDUCATIONAL CAMPUS “Sky High Learning: Interdisciplinary Studio” New Mexico 2020 Confidential Client Collaboration with Landscape Architecture students, Mackenzie Foldes, Halley Kenney, & Abby Shafer The desert does not always come to mind when thinking of a habitable environment. Adaptability and ingenuity is key for survival when living with such conditions, and the community has mastered using the land for farming, housing, water management, and pottery-making dating back to the 12th century. The community elementary school is an opportunity for its youth to learn and celebrate these traditional practices and apply them to the present and future times. The educational campus features spaces and programming that renew the community’s traditions and equip future generations with the knowledge of their ancestors to revive, connect, and cultivate with their culture. For confidentiality purposes, only the library will be shown. The goal of the proposed designs is to provide intergenerational learning as well as opportunities to learn traditional practices. It is a celebration of the land that gave the people of the community life from the beginning and continues to do so today.

Entry and Indoor Storytelling Space
The educational campus proposes a five phase plan to be implemented over 20 years. As part of Phase III, the school administration and the Department of Education buildings will be moved on site. The building, which consists of both open and private offices, conferences rooms, a school nurse, and an employee lounge, is an extension of the proposed library. The proposed site of both buildings sits between both existing school buildings, making it accessible for students and teachers. Phase III also proposes the construction of a new library and media center, just south of the proposed admin building. Constructed of traditional adobe methods, the West wing features a new library for the existing elementary school, while the East wing holds a large classroom for continuing education and a cowork for community members.

Outdoor Storytelling
West Section
Storytelling is a central part to the community. Central to the library space is an indoor / outdoor storytelling circle, complete with outdoor hearth and built-in seating that includes ADA accessibility. A glass bi-fold allows the entire entry space to open to the elements and provides significant views to the North and South. A central arbor, flanked on either side by portales and vegetation gardens, line the South facade and provide shading from the harsh New Mexico sun.
