STEPHEN EGAN Architecture Portfolio
TABLE OF CON TENTS ABOUT ME I grew up surrounded by the construction industry and developed a fascination with building technologies ever since. Through this I have become captivated by the way buildings are put together and how they coincide with the built and natural world around them. I am a life-long learner, a self-starter, and a firm believer in collaborative design. I thrive from engaging a project through all phases and seeing how all parties can contribute.

project description:
PARK
U
IND
The studio has several scheduled opportunities for us to meet with practicing structural, MEP, and civil engineers as well as landscape architects as we developed our projects out from the initial detail. Emphasis was put on holistic design as well as traditional drivers such as sustainability, resiliency, programming, and site strategies. In the end this project focused on the development of a rigid, exterior, structural system that could prove as adaptable for light manufacturing as the former mill structures that this industry segment currently occupies. The idea being that when a hypothetical 3D printing start-up out grows the mill it resides in how can it design a new form of architecture as resilient as older manufacturing typologies.
RIVER
RIVER PARK
The Comprehensive Design Studio is designed to invert the usual studio design process from massing down to detail. Instead we started with a structural system of interest and iterated on creative ways to aggregate said system into a structural bay. From there the bay was assembled into a massing strategy on the given site - East Boston in conjunction with an Eversource redevelopment plan on a waterfront parcel.

UNION SQUARE HOUSING Housing + Aggregation | Spring 2016 AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign
project description: The project was situated within the context of the Somerville redevelopement plan centered around the extension of the Green Line into Union Square. The studio had adjoing sites within the redevelopement overlay district and were taksed with designing multi-use housing projects while tracking developer driven statistics such as FAR, dwelling units per acre, floor efficiencies, and lot coverage. Personally I was working on an almost 50,000 sf site with an FAR just under 3.3. Additionally, we were challenged to respond to the designs of our adjacent classmates as necessary while designing for a given area of research. My research focussed on co-housing as an affordable solution to the displaced residents currently occupying the area.

EAST BOSTON REDEVELOPEMENT PROJECT
Architecture, Infrastructure, & the City | Fall 2015 AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop project description: The project was based in the center of East Boston at a narrow point between the Chelsea River and Independence Beach. The program was an urban design proposal consisting of 1.1 - 3 million square feet of mixed use program on 12.6 acres. By far the largest of the projects I have worked on it measures 2.3 Manhattan city blocks. The challenge here was designing across multiple scales in a way that was coherent at every scale. The additional challenge was that of resiliency, since the site was infill, at low grade, and located so close to tidal waters the management of that water had to be considered carefully.

N Through the identification of various street patterns in East Boston, certain intersection points and zones become clear. Pairing this analysis with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-sidedâ&#x20AC;? nature observed within the individual zones my design strategies could easily be expanded into a phasing strategy that would revitalize East Boston, strengthen its connections with both Chelsea and Boston Proper and protect against the ecological threats of flood levels and storm surges.

BAUGRUPPEN PROJECT
Studio Abroad - Berlin | Spring 2015 AutoCAD, Revit, Illustrator, Photoshop
project description: This project was based in the Pankow neighborhood of Northern Berlin. Like much of Berlin it is still in a rebuilding phase more than 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, providing our site with access off of two streets as well as multiple existing party walls. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baugruppenâ&#x20AC;? program literally translates to group-build and is meant to solve the disconnect between developer and future residents of housing projects. The funding comes from residents who then have all the say in what they want their building to be. It creates a very close, and sometimes contentious, group environment but it is very popular and common in Berlin, as well as other German cities. The square footage and unit requirements were more relaxed but a list of clients and their demands were given to us. We were also encouraged to come up with our own clients as well based on our research of local demographic information.

ARCHITECT + DEVELOPER INFOGRAPHIC
Design + Graphics was a representational course offered in conjunxion between the School of Architecture and the School of Journalism. The class focussed on the basics of design from both an aesthetic and a psychological stand point and then moved into implementing these principals in design projects. The design projects ranged from a two-letter logo-type that was then implemented on a business card, a study of the effects of black and white lines which grew in complexity with every itteration, this infographic, and a bus stop ad. The bus stop ad was meant to work in conjunxtion with the infographic as a sort-of amrketign campaign.

For my infographic I focussed on the growing professional trend of architect as developer and analyzed the barriers to entry as well as the possible benefits. The language is meant to be sleek and eye catching with a pallette pulled from the architecture proffession. This combination creates a familiarity for the architect while instantly creating a feeling of professionalism. The bus stop ad then took this message and translated it into an eye catching display which manifested itself as portraits of famous architects standign in front of their works edited onto business-clad bodies with the simple call to action, “Architects Get to Business”

The purpose of this summer studio was not the design of an architectural project but rather the design of an architectural presentation. The site was Dewey Square in Boston’s South End and the goal was to create a single cohesive board to present a variety of information. This information included a perspectival site map from an angle of our choosing, a rendered perspective analyzing a system on the site, a data map visually displaying our research on the site, and demographic information. The final portion of the project was placing all of the components on a single board in a way where it read as one presentation and not multiple drawings.

DEWEY SQUARE INFOGRAPHIC
Once across the tracks and through the doors of South Station the population disperses in all directions. Dewey Square acts as the key stone of the Leather District, Chinatown, Downtown Crossing, the Financial District, the Seaport District and the South End. With six major boston Neighborhoods within walkig distance, and all of the transportation options South Station and Dewey Square are clearly the pumping Heart of Boston.
South Station, and Dewey Square act as a funnel and a gateway to boston for the majority of the Eastern Coast of the United States. With the addition of the Silver Line access to Logan Airport thispoint on the map now becomes the entry way to city for most of the world. A buisnessman from Nashua, New Hampshire can come via commuter rail and red line; a political advisor can come from Washington DC via Amtrak; and a college studentcan come from his suburban home via the bus. Three people, three walks of life, three modes of transportation, and one building, South Station.
DEWEY SQUARE INFORAPHIC
72
My rendered perspective of the underground network of Dewey Square is meant to show how much is happening beneath people’s feet without them ever thinking about it. Because of this my perspectival base map became a worm’s eye view that orients the perspective to the heart of Dewey Square, and the heart of the underground network, South Station. My data map then focusses on the commuters coming into South Station with a careful analysis of who they are, where they’re coming from, and where they are going. More data collected on the site is presented in the form of pie graphs emerging like pipes from the ground that was cut from the perspective.
MODEL HOME 2018
project description: This project was for a model home in Abington, Massachusetts which added an interesting dynamic of not having a defined client beyond the developer. The house was to be part of a partially sold subdivision and would be used to show potential clients the possibilities of the lots before eventually being sold off itself. The house has a two-car garage oriented away from the front of the house as well as a partially finished basement. There is a front farmer’s porch as well as a rear deck off of the kitchen. The house has 3.5 baths including the master, as well as a mudroom, laundry hook up on the second floor, and a gas fireplace. There are three standard bedrooms as well as master suite over the garage. The attic is fully accessible. The style and massing is a highly unique craftsman style colonial that mediated the developers goal of an easily constructable “model” to go off of with perspective buyers desire for destinctiveness.
