The Jazz at the Park proposed a new jazz conservatory within the “scar” left by the fallen highway in Hayes Valley. Patricia’s Green park and the surrounding mixed use housing influence the building size and orientation to create more impromptu as well as formal stages which are typical in jazz performance. The building will feature a 450 seat formal concert hall, a smaller secondary hall, supporting areas, as well as residences.

The steel frame construction allows for smaller columns and girders that hold up the truss system. It consists of 3 bays that span 45’. The trusses are 24” deep with 2” steel decking with a 4.5” poured concrete slab. Each truss rests on a 1’6” deep girder that runs the length of the museum. The girders rest on 2’ wide concrete encased steel columns that occur every 30’. The use of a steel frame allows for the utilization of spread footings considering the museum only has 2 floors and is “lighter” then concrete construction. The steel frame also allows for easy attachment of the granite clad panels and the curtain wall system on the exterior of the museum. Bay Size 30’

ROME STUDY ABROAD
402 STUDIO
SPRING 2013
The Rome studio was made up of three separate projects. Each site was found PROFESSOR throughout the dense city of Rome and consisted of both designing new and Karen Berman redesigning old sites and buildings. Mark Engelbrecht Francesco Mancini For our first project, we were asked to make a series of maps of the city of Rome, consisting of diminishing scales of both Nolli and current maps. These maps SITE allowed us to become familiar with the city itself, as well as where our sites were Rome, Italy located in regards to the Tiber river and the ancient walls of Rome.

CRYPTA BALBI The Crypta Balbi was a complex comprising of a theatre and gathering area enclosed by a portico built in 14th BCE. This site, like many places in Rome, has had many lives after the initial intended one ended. Now there is a museum in a set of renovated rooms within the large complex, which today is only partially excavated. Our design was asked to link the existing museum with the newly excavated area, design a new exhibition space hosting 5-20 artifacts, provide a permanent roof structure over the exedra and southeast quarters, and design a public cafe that can be used as a public gathering space as well. Our design chose to use existing spaces not used between existing buildings for the exhibition space as well as raise the gathering space and cafe over the old portico and exedra to emphasize the old layout as well as provide a viewing space of the ruins.

VICOLO DELLA MORETTA Vicolo della Moretta was apart of the Campus Martius used for military exercises during Roman times. Now it is currently an excavation site for Julius Cesear’s horse stables, surrounded by a school, church and residential. The goal of this project is to activate the currently dormant urban space and create a strong synthesis between urban life and architecture. The program required a public library, a study space for scholars, exhibition space and commercial retail space.We our design allowed for a large amount of sunlight within the buildings as well as separate courtyards for different uses and people.
17
VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI Via dei Fori Imperiali was built in 1931-33 under Fascist rule to connect the Palazzo Venezia and the Roman Forum and Colosseum, and to provide a space for parades and marches. This program explores the possibilities if Via dei Fori was a public space, removing traffic, and introducing an oral history project, endorsing live speech, dialogue and assembly, as well as associated services with these programs. Our project allowed for many plazas along the road as well as a central pedestrian area for speeches, carts and performers. This minimizes traffic and creates a more pedestrian friendly space.

NEW YORK CITY MIXEDUSE HOUSING
302 STUDIO This project integrates a mix of housing, retail, and gallery space in the
SPRING 2012 culturally and historically sensitive SOHO neighborhood of New York City. The 7 story apartment complex was positioned and stacked to allow the greatest PROFESSOR amount of natural daylight into the spaces, while taking note of the surrounding THOMAS LESLIE buildings and building codes. The horizontal and vertical sunshades protect and reflect direct sunlight to allow a soft light into the spaces.

Sun Angle Study
Winte Months 24.8 degrees Summer Months- 64.8 degrees The horizontal sunshades are set 2’ below the floor slabs to allow the low angled winter light in and to passively heat the space. They also reflect the direct summer light and reducing summer cooling loads. The vertical sun shades reduce direct morning and evening light to further reduce cooling loads.

Structure Analysis This building is a mixture of a bay and a core structural planning system. The circulation cores are located on the outer edges of the Northeast and Northwest walls, to counter winds from all directions. The bay and core systems provide lateral stability through structural diaphragms and continuous shear walls. The 40’ by 40’ wide bay walls act as shear walls where as the walls perpendicular to them create structural diaphragms providing lateral stability and resist the wind loads of New York City.

KANSAS CITY SITE ANALYSIS
The Kansas City Site Analysis project was a study performed during the fall semester of my 3rd year. This site was situated between the Missouri River and the Riverfront Market area. The influence of the river and water became an integral part of my site mapping analysis. Upon further research, the idea of water, along with the perception of space and the topography of the site became the primary influences of my analysis. These led to the examination of how a volume of space and its perception changes when something is added, taken away or changed.

Upon furthering my analysis, I was able to divide the site into 4 areas; the river, the railroad, the green space, and the industrial/residential space. I then examined the thresholds between the areas and how they interact with each other.

with the ability to easily pull them out from either end.
New York City, NY Kitchen: The kitchen was designed to allow seating to pull out around the peninsula allowing for it to be a preparation space as well as a dining and social space.
Bathroom: The bathroom was designed to allow a soft light in each space, creating a peaceful and rejuvenating space

STRUCTURES LAB ARCHITECTURE 343 Our structures, materials, and environmental forces class required a lab portion,
FALL 2012 in which we would design, build and test the theories and methods that we learned about. The requirements for this assignment were; a slab with the dimensions of PROFESSOR 24”x24”, a maximum of 1/5”deep, 3-6 4” columns, and 24sq ins of openings in the slab. Rob Whitehead We decided the slab would be .75” deep with .75” cross bracing across the sides and through the middle of the slab to help support the center of the slab. We chose to have 4 columns at each corner to hold the load. The openings are centered between the bracings to allow smaller bracings and be placed equally within the slab. This project was able to hold up over 30lbs.
43
This assignment required us to create a structure that included a base and 3 footings that did not deflect more then 1�, could hold 15lbs, was 70’ tall (at 1/4� scale), and had 2 openings that were 80-100sf. We chose to use thick vertical columns that were connected to the cross bracing on the slabs. We added string as tension members to stabilize the platform as it tried to bend and twist under the added weight. We also chose to have a layer of plaster at the base to stabilize the structure.

GHOSTLANDS STUDIO DSN S 546: Ghost lands studio was a summer studio in which we traveled for two weeks GHOST LANDS STUDIO across the American west aiming to observe, document and respond
SUMMER 2013 architecturally to abandoned sites and settlements. After researching and experiencing modern ‘ghost’ towns of the western United States, we worked PROFESSOR within a community of a dying town in Iowa to measure and mark the spaces of our memories. Since this was the second year of this studio, we built James Spiller upon the previous constructions, adding stained glass to the outhouse Patrick Rhodes museum, planting wild flowers near the school house, and building a pavilion for the community to cook and share meals at.
