Sarah Q. Meyer is a student currently studying architecture at Jefferson University’s East Falls Campus in Philadelphia, PA. She also holds a Associates Degree in Liberal Arts with Honors and has taken Architecture courses at the Community College of Philadelphia. She has a variety of work experience from 6 years of working in a Financial Aid office as a Office assistant and Summer internships at NCB Management. When not spending her life focused on school and architecture she enjoys reading a copious amount of books, painting, and indulging in various television exploits. She reads a lot, mostly things that are not structured in this reality. In her mind she reads and creates places that as of yet, do not exist. She enjoys the creative aspect of design. Researching a concept or goal and being able to create something from that is what she enjoys most. Providing a design that stimulates the imagination and encourages fantasy and whimsy is her architectural goal.

Art Foundation Atelier Community
Design Challenge: This project was to create an Art Foundation Atelier Community. It includes six row homes with a museum building. My design concept for this project was a castle and its rising form. A castles fantastic sight has always prompted people to greater heights, whether it was for story writing, painting, or crafting. Using materials that were used in castles originally and using them in a modern way helps create the Ateliers design. For the Row-home on the inside there are small windows around the turret and some in the back of the row-home. In the turret is a winding staircase and at the bottom is a reflecting pool. The roof is accessible so that people can see everything, because to be creating things a place where you can get perspective in good. The Common building mirrors the row-home in that I added a cylindrical space. The gallery space is the tallest space in the common building it is twice the size of the rest of the building. There are light wells in the galleries cylindrical space and an oculus at the top cut at an angle. The wall is thick at the top of the gallery space creating different space in height.

Blue Bell Children’s Environmental Education Center
6
Design Challenge: The Blue Bell Children’s Environmental Education Center is a Community Building located in Blue Bell Park in East Falls. It strives to teach children about the nature that surrounds them. We as a class picked a site situated between all of our playscapes so that it was easy to reach from all of them. From the front the vestibule is small and it goes out into the lobby which is essentially the tower complex. The view goes all the way up to the top of the tower from the lobby. The stairs wined around the tower with large windows. The light and shadow from the trees adding to the view up. Next you descend down the steps to the exhibit space that is at the center of the main building. It is a double floor height with a full wall window to the outdoors. On either side of the space is a cafe, multipurpose room, and classroom. The multipurpose space has a retracting wall so that at times people can see into the room and let it create a bigger space. On the upper level the last classroom and the conference room, as well as the offices. Following the stairs up will lead to the rooftop which has the playspace and areas for sitting and watching the world around them. The tower has one more flight of stairs so that you can go as high as possible and see as far as possible. The Amphitheater is in the back which moves down the inclining topography that you can see from the exhibit space.

Mural Arts Philadelphia
Design Challenge: The new Mural Arts Headquarters will be a collaborative expansion of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Free Library, and Mural Arts. This will provide an educational space for Environmental Art Installations for the city of Philadelphia. The design is created with these historic structures in mind so it takes on the likeness of the neo-classic style that the buildings on the Parkway are styled after. On the Ground Floor is where the collaboration between these three organizations will for the most part occur. The exterior stairs and the outdoor space is for Exhibition as well. Going up from there to the second floor is the office space for Mural Arts. From the second floor and up the building is pushed back. The Second and Fifth Floor has access to the exterior balcony areas. The top three floors are Educational/Studio spaces. Each floor is its own type of art form; The Third floor is the physical/tactile with the Wood shop and Foundry, the Fourth floor is the digital/electrical with the Digital Studio, Tech Lab and Cutting Lab, and the Fifth floor is the clay/sculpture with the Clay Room, Sculpture Room and a Kiln Room. On each floor is a classroom for lecturing about the subjects and required materials, with little Site lab work done in these spaces.

Cherry Pop
Design Challenge: Located on the corner of 19th and Cherry Street in Center City Philadelphia. This Pop-up would enhance the area by supplying a visually interesting evening display to attract people who would otherwise leave the area after working hours, give space to local food vendors to sell, and supply a space for relaxing and interaction between commutes, local residents, and tourists that frequent the area. To better interact with the daily shifts in the usage of the area, the modular seating booths are designed to be movable as will as color customized.

Plan
Design Challenge: In Blue Bell park along a trail we were to design a children’s playscape that could not be mas manufactured. Knowing the following design I created a playscape that could be a learning experience. The playscape is based off of a spider web with the trees being the anchor points, a structural netting, a climbing net, and a system of bells underneath. Each layer is how a spiders web works; first, the anchor points, then the base structure, then the netting, and last when prey lands on it the web vibrates letting the spider know something is on its web. 20

Hybrid Project Ritson Apartments
Design Challenge: We took two objects; organic and inorganic, and create 3D models of them. From these objects we were to create a building based off of the features of our two parent objects. These elements can utilize the forms/structure, color/material, and/or function/essence of the objects. From these two objects I created a apartment building.

Depth of East Falls
Design Challenge: The new development “1 Kelly Drive� is in need of a privacy wall to separate its parking area from the view of passer-byers on Kelly Drive and the buildings green space. With all the athletics that go on in this area around the River and as the river is the most prominent feature in the area the walls design represents the Schuylkill River. To bring people to the wall there are challenge boards at either end of the wall so that athletes can post their times and compete with others.

Layers of Cement
- Topographic layers on the Schuylkill river that are precast cement and than laid on top of one another and glued together by Quikrete.
Glass to Cement
- Alcolin Waterproof Glue is used to connect the glass to the cement. It is great for outdoor use and is industrial strength to hold the weight of the wall.

Electronic Board to Wall
- Anchor a meal grid to the cement part of the Wall and anchor that to the back of the electronic board.

Layers of Glass
- Layers of the depth of the water in the Schuylkill river carved from glass. The glass is layered and are held together with a resin which has the same refractive properties as glass.

Up-sorption
Design Challenge: This project was a total tectonic project. The city of Philadelphia utilizes a very outdated sewage system that can’t control heavy loads of water from rain storms. The purpose of the project is to reduce the amount of storm-water runoff that reaches the sewers at Park Towne Place Towers located in the projected flooding area. Our proposal is to attach approximately 9,940 three dimensional tiles made out of a recently discovered desiccant called Upsalite. The module was designed to create a seamless flow from one module to the next. There are different related modules that connect throughout the facade. This creates a snowflake-like aesthetic on the buildings facades. This is designed with the accumulation of water from a 3in rainstorm, how the modules catch the water is through pipes that run the interior of the modules. These pipes have holes and the water flows out of them on to the Upsalite. The Upsalite is adhered to the pipe by a wire mess around each one, then the Upsalite is placed over it to form around each one. Then the outer layer is a water barrier that helps the Upsalite keep and absorb the water as it trickles down through the modules. With these Up-sorption modules, we will be able to keep the water from overflowing the permeable ground.
