Hi, my name’s Joe Avellino. I’m an architecture student that is always ready to learn, and so am eager to get familiar in a professional setting.

To compliment my undergraduate studies, I’m seeking a part-time position as an Architectural Intern for at least 6 months.

I’m very engaged in my work and constantly asking questions, so I’m excited to not only contribute my own knowledge to the development of my future team, but also to learn lots from them. I hope to play a big role in the projects that my team takes part in.

The Rewarding Waters Design Fundamentals 2 - Spring 2022

The Rewarding Waters is a bathhouse carved into the side of a cliff along the Hudson River. It’s a spa spot for travelers to unwind in various temperatures: hot, warm, and cold. You arrive at the entrance via ferry and ascend to each level of the bathhouse through flights of stairs, thus being “rewarded” with a new section at each level to relax in and enjoy.

Rendered Painting (Rhino 7)

To summarize this semester’s studio project, we extracted a variety of shapes from an old painting made by French architect/ artist Le Corbusier. These shapes essentially became the rooms that we would use for the bathhouse. The main rooms range in temperature, and so the water programs within them range in function.

Colors directly relate to the function of each space. Yellow (The warm color) represents the Steam Room, the hottest room. Gray (The cold color) represents the Frozen Observatory, the coldest room. Red (the color in-between) represents the Cozy Holder, the warm room.

The site is located on a cliff alongside the Hudson River near Palisades, NJ. The rule for this bathouse was that it needed to be at least mostly submerged underground. Each room was to be excavated from the ground to make one giant, continuous hole.

The WeDesign Un-House Architectural Design 1 - Fall 2022

The “Un-House” is the advanced elaboration of the typical house for the typical family. It is much bigger in size (108’ x 108’) and is much more exposed to natural elements. It generally serves a purpose beyond giving clients a place to eat and sleep, so it can’t just be called a house or even a residential structure. The concept of the “house” is technically deconstructed and tampered with, thus it earns the title of the “Un-House.”

The WeDesign Un-House is the house of remote workers. This building would be available for workers to rent as a place to not only work, share ideas, and professionally converse, but also to casually hang out, dine, and sleep.

This semester’s project started from two pre-picked precedents for me to research and explore: The Goldenberg House and the Maison Des Gardes Agricoles. After researching the architects and their philosphies, I began to draw “inferences” and “assumptions” of the buildings’ patterns and geometry via a series of sequences. From here, I formed an official concept, called a matrix, to base the Un-House around.

This sequence came after dozens of others that led to failed concepts.

Main Types: Central Corners Rotation

The site is a 108’ x 108’ box. The goal was to blend the matrix into the boxed site as smoothly as possible.

Type refers to the main theme of the Un-house. In my case, there are 3 main types.

Visualization 3 - Fall 2022

The Gear Pavilion is a continuous pattern pavilion made of enneagonal prisms. It’s a steel structure surrounded by strategically placed trees in an open field. The shape of the prism makes it look like a pavilion made out of gears/bolts.

The Avellino’s Dream Residence Winter 2023

The Avellino’s Dream Residence is a visualization of the type of house that my family has always dreamed of living in. It’s a one-story house that adheres to our imagination.

The main goal of this side project was to introduce myself to drafting in AutoCAD, and to refine my modeling/texturing skills in Rhino.

Living/Dining Room / Kitchen View

As I talked with my family about what our dream home would look like, we decided to draw out a floor plan. After a few iterations, this is what we started to agree on.

MOST IMPORTANT INCLUSIONS

-SITE: Lindenhurst, Long Island, NY

- One floor

- 4 Bedrooms with their own Ensuites

- Merged Living Room/Dining Room/Kitchen (no dividing walls)

- 2-Car Garage

- Music Room

- Office

After drawing it out, I moved to AutoCAD to recreate the floor plan, making adjustments wherever I saw necessary.

The House of Drawings

Winter 2023

The House of Drawings is an apartment complex that I designed to challenge my ability to make something out of premade samples.

The main goal of this side project was to further develop my AutoCAD drafting skills, as well as familiarize myself with Revit.

Exterior View 1

I started with a simple shape elaboration, using dimensions based off typical measurements of actual apartment units, namely one-bedroom units and studios. The end result becomes the foundation of one apartment unit in the building.

20’ x 20’ box = 400 sq ft

Two 20’ x 20’ boxes 400 sq ft + 400 sq ft = 800 sq ft (Typical 2-Bedroom Apartment size)

Initial Interior Variations (to be copied along each floor in certain patterns)

One 15’ x 15’ box (Typical Studio Apartment Size) = 225 sq ft

800 sq ft + 225 sq ft = 1025 sq ft (2-Bedroom Suite + Studio Suite)

I then proceed to draw floor plans of the lobby and of the floors above, where the units are located (The floors above the lobby will be identical to each other.)

I then moved to Revit and modeled based off the floor plan. I changed the design of the actual building while keeping the concept the same. I believe this shape feels a little more natural, and even provides slightly more variety for each unit in a floor.
