Samuel Englehart Architecture Portfolio Master of Architecture 2016
Introduction Master of Architecture Candidate | Spring 2016 | Samuel Englehart
I am a designer particularly intrigued with the potential for architecture to act as a social catalyst within communities. I earned my B.S. of Architecture at the Ohio State U n i v e r s i t y, h i g h l i g h t e d b y a s t u d y abroad in 2010. This opportunity inspired me to pursue a minor in U r b a n G e o g r a p h y, d e e p e n i n g m y interest in the potential for design t o i m p r o v e o u r c u l t u r e . M y M a s t e r ’s Thesis at the University of Mar yland School of Architecture engages t h e u r b a n l a n g u a g e o f Wa s h i n g t o n , DC and the cultural implications of political divisions along the A n a c o s t i a R i v e r.

O u r b u i l d i n g ’s r e l a t i o n s h i p w i t h t h e site is influenced by the shifting grids of Baltimore. The two forms of the cantilevered truss and the solid volume are one structure, yet they evoke the dichotomous relationship b e t w e e n t h e s i t e’s E a s t a n d We s t . The shifting of grids allows the truss to read as an extension of Jonestown while the volume reads as a continuation of the massing of the Central Business District.

The Baltimore Harbor is home to a dynamic cultural landscape; the built environment speaks to cultural, social, and historical events. This led to a design that was both a work of art and a space that could be used as more than just a cinema. The additional program consists of a flexible exhibit space, and a ferr y t e r m i n a l f o r b o a t t o u r s o f t h e h a r b o r. The excavated spaces of the pavilion f r a m e v i e w s o f t h e p r o m i n e n t Fe d e r a l Hill and the National Aquarium, locating itself within the present cultural hub of Baltimore.

AP Media Forum Semester: Spring 2015 | Professor: Michael Ambrose | Designers: Sam Englehar t
This project engaged the disparity between news and media through the formal juxtaposition of an office t ypology and broadcasting studio. Process was key in this project as iterative investigations of form and function led to the understanding of space as a social incubator for the consumption of media. The building became a confluence of projection, curation, and observation spaces r o s e f r o m a s i t e i n Wa s h i n g t o n , D C .

Engineering Museum Semester: Winter 2011 | Professor: Zachar y Snyder | Designer: Sam Englehar t
The Kaskaskia River Museum creates a venue for the display of ar tifacts presenting the histor y of civil engineering along the Mississippi. The site is an island in Illinois, but o n t h e M i s s o u r i s i d e o f t h e r i v e r, comprising just under seven miles of coast. Due to the physical division of t h e M i s s i s s i p p i R i v e r, a b r i d g e w o u l d span its width. This idea developed into a multifaceted ferr y terminal that would allow visitors to engage with the river rather than drive above it. This terminal also reigned in the scale of the program, packing all of the decentralized galleries and amenities into a smaller site.

Travel Sketches Semester: Summer 2010 | Professor: Jack ie Gargus | Designer: Sam Englehar t
During the Summer of 2010, I traveled to Europe to study architecture with the Ohio State U n i v e r s i t y ’s K n o w l t o n S c h o o l o f Architecture. The trip took our class to six different countries, dozens of cities, and most impor tantly hundreds of buildings that I studied through sketches done on location.
