THADDEUS ZARSE

1454 Randolph

Designer, Thaddeus Zarse, has worked for many nationally and internationally renowned architecture firms including offices in Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. His experiences allowed him to work in all phases of design at a wide variety of scales, ranging from skyscapers in Paris to furniture in French Quarter courtyards. He has mostly recently worked as a project architect from initial sketch to final constuction on a 240 unit mixed use project in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. His work over his career investigates several interests inclucing design as social activism, finding novelty in local typologies, investigating program as a means to create spatial complexity, and increasingly the documentation, coordination, and construction process. Merging the ideals from the institutions where he has studied, worked, and taught his work seeks to pragmatically investigate new formal ideas within a social and cultural context.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Eskew+Dumez+Ripple completed 2012 adaptive reuse

This new corporate headquarters for a national outdoor advertising agency is a reaction against the standard issue oﬃce environment. People require interaction in today’s workplace. They go to work to collaborate, to brainstorm, to do research, to “work” in the nontraditional sense of the word. Much of what we observe in creative environments involves informal interaction in atypical settings, such as chance meetings in corridors or conversations around the coﬀee pot. Our design is structured to reinforce that culture of openness. At its core, the design is informed by these basic tenets: people like variety; they need

places to congregate; casual interaction fosters teamwork and creativity; natural light is a good thing; and a little visual excitement can’t hurt. To accomplish this, we radically altered the internal conﬁguration of a 115,000 square foot 1970’s era data center while leaving the exterior almost entirely unchanged. In addition to the insertion of a large, interior light court dropped into the building, further structure was removed to connect the space between ﬂoors into one communicating whole – reinforcing the culture and identity of the company as a single creative community.

Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Chicago, Illinois, USA Brininstool+Lynch projected March 2022 new construction

This mixed use 242 unit multi-family project newly defines an urban edge to Union Park and a creates a node at the end of the West Loop’s prominent Randolph Street. While the ground floor fills the extents of the site, the tower portion comprises of two offset wings with the elevator/stair core at the central connection between the two. The offset allows for a pool deck facing Union Park while the northern residual roof top allows for units to be positioned away from the “EL” tracks. Each wing of the building is designed differently responding to varying site conditions. The east wing provides unit wide balconies on the front and back

of the building defined by concrete columns that overlook the pool deck and Union Park and has views over the alley on the back. The west wing abuts the property line and “EL” tracks where balconies are less desirable. The building is concrete construction rising eleven floors, nine of which are residential apartment units. The ground floor is comprised of brick and glass creating a solid base relating to the existing predominantly brick context of the West Loop. The tower portion is split between two types of corrugated metal panel helping to differentiate between the two wings.

Cultivating (agri)Cultures Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Cleveland, Ohio, USA TZCO designed 2010 design competition

In the process of re-imaging Cleveland, “Cultivate agriCultures” proposes an opportunistic and achievable future based in both pragmatic realities and utopian dreams. With a goal of architectural instrumentality the design strives to cultivate new educational goals through programmatic innovations, such as the Wellness Center, integrated Community Center, and edible schoolyard, which are organized to optimize connectivity internally between seemingly disparate programs and people, but also

externally with the neighboring university and the surrounding community and city. Utilizing three techniques, “Aggregated Assimilation,” “Networked Urbanism,” and “Generic Speciﬁcity,” the project cultivates new ways integrating architectural work into its context, urbanistically repositions agriculture and sustainability in a city historically known for its industry, and develops new strategies of form making.

Renderings L) Interior view of student dining showing the stair that leads over the street R) Exterior dining courtyard with garden Diagram_ Aggregated Assimilation In the steady decline of the population of Cleveland over the past 60 years the city’s ﬁgure ground has gradually developed an increasing number of voids. The technique of “Aggregated Assimilation” takes this seemingly negative urban issue as an opportunity to develop a massing

strategy that borrows this figure ground to create programmatically charged voids associated with neighboring interior programs. Avoiding both a suburban proposal of undifferentiated openness or an overly deterministic urban proposal of hard street edges and privatized courtyards, the porosity of the scheme allows for water gardens, edible schoolyards, playgrounds, courtyards, and entry plazas with spatial definition and a blurred distinction between public and private the openly invites the community in.

Night Render_ Generic Specificity This strategy rejects Internationalism’s sterilization of local context and subverts Globalism’s colonization through hyperspecificity. Beginning with primitive volumes, the technique “Generic Specificity” is used to apply performative sustainable strategies creating a shape that is both familiar and foreign. Large scale

roof subtractions create nodal points of water runoff into specifically placed water gardens throughout the project while also unifying the aggregated agglomeration of generic boxes. The resulting plan arrangement creates a messy vitality that requires figuring out through a process of discovery and participation rather than a reading of applied signs.

The Wheelhouse Hotel Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Chicago, Illinois, USA NORR partial completion renovation and new construction

ED ELEVATION

RK STREET

This two phased hotel / hostel project utilizes an existing building constructed in 2008 as a hotel which never opened. Phase one consists of renovating the existing structure with phase two as a new construction in the adjoining empty lot. While the original scheme mirrored this structure in the adjoining lot, we took the opportunity to redesign the adjoining lot to meet the client’s desire for a more warehouse industrial aesthetic that meets the brands direction. Precedents for the project consisted of modernist works like Gropius’ ordered exterior of the Bauhaus and Chareax’s atmospheric glass block lighting in Maison de Verre.

The phase two design utilizes several techniques to create a dialogue between the existing building 2016 and the new design. Continuing the horizontal bands was the ﬁrst strategy which helps to allow the windows also to be a similar proportion. The glass block in the new design references the rusticated stone of the existing and the reveals between the windows allow the rooms to feel a sense of the bay window of the existing. Additionally the top signage band and the retail base act to capture and integrate the existing within the new.

The second project with the Holiday Jones hotel / hostel group includes their ﬁrst completely new construction hospitality project which continues the warehouse industrial aesthetic that matches their brand ambitions. The ground level includes parking, retail space, and the hotel lobby followed by three ﬂoors of rooms with just under 100 keys. The project also includes amenities spaces on the roof such as a library, bar, and roof deck.

Hyatt Place Hotel, Milwaukee Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA NORR completed 2018 new construction

This Hyatt Place hotel sits at the edge between the historic Brewery District and the new entertainment district of Milwaukee where a new stadium and adjoining retail is being constructed. The project is conceived as a series of contextual brick sleeves through which a more contemporary glass box is pushing toward the new entertainment district. The Hyatt Place brand stand formal piece, the “EDGE” is modiﬁed and placed at the end clearly visible from the

entertainment district down a slope from the site. The 150 key hotel includes custom designed lobby and amenities spaces including a bar and seating area that leads out to an outdoor landscaped plaza in front of the building. The vehicular drop oﬀ is designed more as an urban plaza than a standard drop oﬀ so that it integrates more into the design of the building and surrounding context.

Photo Prior Project Rendering & Sketch While approved by the client, the design had diﬃculties within the neighborhood groups who found it too contemporary for the context.

1435 North Wells Street Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Chicago, Illinois, USA NORR completed 2019 new construction

This mixed use project located in the retail core of Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood combines contemporary architecture with historical touches that contextualize the design. The building has retail spaces on the ground level with ﬁve ﬂoors of apartment rentals above totaling 50 units. Both the front and the rear of the residential portion of the project are set back to reduce the perceived mass of the project being set within an area accustomed to shorter historic buildings.

The facade at ground relates to the retail at the base while the residential facade includes brick screens that contain balconies and a shifted grid on the facade that activates the plane. The facade is further broken down by a change in material at its ends allowing for breaking down the length of the building into three main sections, a long, medium, and thin, the latter of which acts as a gap or reveal with the neighboring building.

New Orleans East Community Health Clinic Location: Firm: Status: Type:

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA TZCO w/Tulane City Center designed 2009 Adaptive Re-use w/Addition

The design of the project looks to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented by transforming the space of a former post oﬃce into a sustainably minded patient focused health clinic. Vietnamese patterns and landscape are used to add cultural speciﬁcity to the project while staying inclusive to all community members. With the mission to build a neighborhood-based Community Health Center for the medically underserved community of New Orleans East the Mary Queen of Viet Nam Community Development Corporation in partnership with the Tulane School of Medicine are working with the Tulane City Center.

The project entails the design and renovation of an existing former post office building within the neighborhood to be utilized as a comprehensive primary care center for the areas’ largely Vietnamese-American community. The current facility lacks to space to accommodate a community that is gradually returning to the neighborhood and continues to grow, especially with the influx of the Latino workforce. The first phase of the project includes the renovation of the existing building, while strategic visioning foresees a 10,000 square foot addition within three years.

Site Plan The existing former Post Oﬃce building sites along the street edge while an addition to the clinic is situated to the rear.

Rendering This view shows the entry court into the new facility adjacent to parking and the existing facility.

Axonometric Shows proposed addition to the rear of the ﬂat roofed existing building.

Section Centralized entry court ﬂanked by the existing building and the new addition

Rendering Embedded courtyard space allowing natural light and controlled views into patient rooms

Plan / Section These drawings focus on the centralized patient exam rooms surrounded by the clinic’s entry and support spaces

Exam Room Cluster The exam rooms are nested in the center of the space, thus initially perceived to receive no natural light or view to the exterior. To counterbalance this spatial inequality the exam rooms extend to the full height of the center space creating small punctures in the roof that allow patients a small framed view of the sky above

while allowing some indirect natural light into the space. The resulting space creates a visual funnel directing the attention towards nature. The room shape can also be designed to produce ventilation through the rooms through the stack eﬀect pulling hot air to the top of the room releasing it through a small vent near the roof.

MAKE IT RIGH T PROTOT YPE HOUSE Location: Firm: Status: Type:

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Eskew+Dumez+Ripple constructed single family residential

The design of this prototype house developed out of the need to provide residents of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward affordable and sustainable housing options. While the first generation of homes will likely be constructed on-site using SIP construction, this prototype is designed to anticipate furture off-site, pre-fabricated construciton allowing for increased quality and affordability while decreasing material waste and on-site labor. From a sustainable perspective, the design minimizes the use of nonrenewable sources of both energy and materials. A

highly eﬃcient envelope is designed to maximize natural ventilation while providing window protection with an operable shutter system. The slope of the roof integrates both ﬂows of air and water by directing water to the rear cistern while allowing hot inside air to rise and be exhausted out the front.

Diagrams This series of diagrams begins with the typological New Orleans house and proceed through both programmatic and environmental operations resulting in a more performative architecture.

Elevations 1) Front Elevation 2) Rear Elevation

Diagrams These series of diagrams speak to the sustainability of the project. From the top: rainwater harvesting, solar power collection, solar water heating, natural ventilation, and passive survivability.

The house is raised 8’ from the ground to prevent future ﬂooding. This situation then presents a new dilema of how to ground the design in a city so occustomed to front porch culture. Our response was to create a front stoop at ground level before

reaching the raised porch and front door. The stoop and stair are wrapped in a louvered screen blocking views of the rear yard while creating privitized spaces beneath the home.

Prospect 1 Welcome Center Location: Firm: Status: Type:

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Eskew+Dumez+Ripple completed 2008 temporary pavilion

Prospect.1 New Orleans [P.1], the largest biennial of international contemporary art ever organized in New Orleans, exhibited 81 artists in museums, historic buildings, and found sites throughout the city. The Welcome Center for P.1 was housed in one of these found spaces – the historic Heﬂer Warehouse – and served to orient visitors and the press to the city and the biennial. The design was inspired by the shape and scale of shipping containers, a nod to the signiﬁcance of the port to the city’s economy and a reference to the nature

of delivery for much of the art exhibited for the biennial. Due to constraints of time and budget – the entire project was designed and constructed in 6 weeks at a total cost of $28,000 – a single construction material was selected that was both inexpensive and readily available. Utilizing construction-grade plywood as ﬂoor, wall, ceiling and structure, the internal form was manipulated to provide a hospitality desk, display counter, refreshment center and seating bench for visitors.

St. Claude Pocket Park Location: Firm: Status: Type:

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA TZCO w/Tulane City Center completed 2014 landscape

In support of the burgeoning arts and cultural community in a particular neighborhood, St. Claude Main Street (SCMS) applied for and received a major grant from ArtPlace, a national foundation whose mission is to support “creative place making” initiatives that increase community vibrancy. The Tulane City Center gathered community input about the desired uses and ideas for the space over the spring and summer of 2013. The team then used that community input to design a pocket park at the corner of St. Claude and Independence that will

double as a space for the monthly SCMS night market. The pocket park is along a major commercial corridor in the city, one of several projects SCMS has initiated to improve the streetscape. The park includes spaces for relaxing, gathering, gardening, and playing horseshoes and deﬁnes these through a series of low decks and earthen mounds. The park also includes infrastructure for the night market and is ﬂexible enough to accommodate other activities.

Site Plan Edged by two streets and by a row of growing bamboo, the park includes several seating decks and earthen mounds scattered throughout the site. Concrete strips cast into the ground allow for poles to be placed to hold overheard lighting during the night markets.

The Union Location: Firm: Status: Type:

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA TZCO completed 2010 temporary installation

The Union creates combinations and hybridizations between systems often separated in architecture. While pattern is used as an application to the surface is also produces spatial eﬀects through its perspectival blurring created by the gradual curvature of the geometry. In addition to assisting the production of spatial

eﬀects the hyperbolic paraboloid geometry, most frequently seen in thin shell concrete structures, allows for thinness in the material allowing for the patterned panelization to work simultaneously as a structural strategy. Originally designed as a wedding arch, the name The Union also speaks to the event for which it was initially created.

Photos 1) My brother’s wedding! 2) Detail showing binder clip attachment method for partial easy disassembly 3) Installation in an abandoned building in New Orleans’ French Quarter

1) Geometry - The Union’s geometry is based on a front and rear parabolic arch way that is lofted along hyperbolic curves on the ground plane. 2) Structure - The structural logic of the arch follows the traditions and logic of traditional arches in that each panelis a separate unit that is structurally reliant on its neighboring units for support. The Union like an ancient Roman arch is built from the ground up using jigs to hold the

piece in place until the keystone is adhered and gravitional forces take hold. 3) Panelization - A pattern was created that was able to be tiled across the overall piece blurring the distinction between each panel and the overall eﬀect. The pattern was able to be stretched and manipulated in Grasshopper allowing it to adapt to diﬀering panel sizes and shapes. 4) Composite

After the wedding ceremony in Indianapolis, The Union was transported back to New Orleans, where is was initially fabricated, to be displayed in the arts and architecture exhibition, DesCours, organized by the AIA New Orleans oﬃce. Housed in an abandoned drug store, the site also included several other installations creating the primary hub for that year’s event.
