360 Architecture provided an energetic working and high-learning environment through many aspects of the architectural practice. I was involved in a variety tasks including National Broadcast Package, Sponsor Zones, Seating Manifests, Concession Comparisons, Security Package, Retail Package, ADA Presentation, 100% DD sets, redlines and a few design efforts. I was tasked with different management responsibilities when updating, developing, and organizing packages as I talked to colleagues, clients and consultants on a regular basis. I attending project meetings, financial meetings and a marketing meeting throughout my internship and had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta for additional meetings; specifically a public outreach meeting for which I put together the ADA presentation.

TIMBER IN THE CITY The manufacturing sector of Red Hook in Brooklyn, New York, is in need of revitalization to help expand the borough’s image. The timber tower in the city will create a community by providing personal, professional, and historical connections. Connections are made through spatial organization, views to thriving communities that surround the site and building construction.

RELATIONSHIP TO IKEA (left) The wood fabrication shop is placed on the southwest corner of the site relating the manufacturing sector visually to that of IKEA. In addition residents of the tower will have close access to community green spaces. RELATIONSHIP TO COMMUNITY (below) Community amenities such as restaurants, bars, shopping and public transit reside north of the site, many of which are within a 10 minute walk. Therefore, the entrance into the residential portion of the tower is located at the most northern tip of the site.

DIAGRID TRUSS
CONNECTIONS
The permeability of the truss system allows for visual connections to surrounding areas. The permeability is kept by a tension cable, strategically holding the diagrid truss together and creating railings for roof terraces.
TRUSS DETAIL Steel plates are pocketed in the cross section of two Glulam truss members creating a diagrid structure. Bolts hold wooden members in place.

Views from the residential tower and terraces are directed to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Manhattan, creating a sense of history and connecting you to the larger community of New York.

BARBERINI GALLERY
As a design charette in Italy a Gallery located in Rome represents the four elements: earth, fire, water and wind. My partner and I choose Piazza Barberini to revitalize. All drawings were done in pen and water color. The Barberini Gallery, in Rome Italy, will regain the importance of Piazza Barberini by framing important features and creating a more welcoming community space. The gallery attracts users into the once dead piazza not only because of the gallery’s elements but
CONCEPT DIAGRAM
20 | STUDIO WORK
also because of the building form. The form directs views towards important features such as Palazzo Barberini to the southeast and the Triton Fountain to the northwest. Outdoor spaces are created by the building intersection which provide community gathering points and draw people into the central core and entrance into the gallery. Inside the gallery the user is guided southeast and northwest towards the narrower side of the
building by the angular shape of the walls. The solid walls in the north and northeast corners of the building guide you to the more slender part of the form to a large window framing Palazzo Barberini and Triton fountain. Natural light is carefully dispersed through the space in the form of light wells and window slits to highlight sculptures, provide diffused light throughout the building and invite people to different spaces within the gallery.

RESULT
Done as part of research in the operative strategies of Man Made Landscapes and synthetic terrains, Prospect Park in New York shows signs of Interlacing. Interlacing is a verb defined as joining together (narrow things, such as strings or branches) by crossing them over and under each other. Interlacing is fluid, like a thread, stitching natural movements together until the thread is pulled taut by other forces. Norms, coded notation, and surface development are all a part of discovering this system of development. All images and diagrams represented on this page are a small portion of the processes representing the beginning, intermediate and speculative approaches to integrating Interlacing into Man Made Landscapes. The entire research process and findings are compiled into a 90-page book located at http:// issuu.com/reneepetty/docs/interlacing/0.

WHOLEBODY WORKOUT
The WholeBody Workout facility in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, exploits the connections of the surrounding site, the construction and program of the building and the desired user interactions of the facility. WholeBody Workout facility works to merge both the modern surroundings with the historic surroundings to create an iconic building which people will want to visit. The facility keeps in mind both historic aspects of the city, the changing future and the community’s needs.

NATURAL LIGHTING
INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR VIEWS
A lightwell directs light down three stories to the pool below. The lightwell gives off a natural glow to the rooms nearby. The south glazing is minimized to cut down on heat gain but allow enough natural light inside to minimize the use of electrical lighting.
The building is set at a 12 degree angle to maximize visibility of the cityscape. Inside, user interaction is important therefore users are always able to see what is happening on another floor.

ABIQUIU PAVILION
I had the opportunity to work with an actual client and businessman, Colin Noble, to design a pavilion for Abiquiu Inn in New Mexico. My partner and I worked for five weeks to compose a final design and ultimately create a master plan for future developments based off of Colin’s needs and wants. The pavilion will
38 | STUDIO WORK
host a variety of activities including weddings, workshops and lectures. During our research trip to Abiquiu, New Mexico, we toured the site, became accustomed to the culture and attended meetings given by local businesses informing
us about the climate and surroundings. Colin’s hope was for the pavilion to be so magnificent it could end up on a magazine cover. The winner of the ‘competition’ would ultimately have their design built. Our efforts in the invaluable experience earned us third place and taught us how to interact with a client.
SITE ANALYSIS Within the buildable area we had restrictions of which we needed to be aware of such as driveway widths for access of cars and firetrucks. In addition there are three important surrounding views we wanted to hone in on as the design developed.

MULTIMEDIA
I love art and architecture in every form from creation to details. In my free time I like to produce both analog and digital media. Painting, watercoloring, ceramics, photography and sketching are things I enjoy dabbling in. Clay is one of my favorite mediums. It a is a great way to express my artistic skill and is a very relaxing hobby. From organic sculptures to bowls, vases and saucers I love hand building pottery and using the pottery wheel. I enjoy taking pictures and sketching when I travel, documenting my memories as I find them some of the best souvenirs.
