S TAT I C A N D A L I V E The intent is to design a building that is alive, one that regenerates social and ecological spheres. The building is present on Burnside and NE 14th Street and interacts with energy, water, wind, produces waste, and houses varying occupants and programs. We desire the building assist the flourishing of ecological, social and economic spheres through these interactions. The building site greets an abandoned portion of Sandy Boulevard. By creating a pathway connecting the greenscape on SE12th and Stark with Buckman Field Park, it rebuilds the strong emphasis of Sandy Boulevard which intersects the urban grid. Wetlands are created using nutritious dredged sediments from Coos Bay, Oregon that emphasizes the renewed Boulevard.
The building grows as concrete beams come together in modules of 30’x30’x20’ in a flat plate configuration. Local cedar was used to frame intermediate floors. The lower embodied energy and ease of constructing wood structures equips the building for adaptive reuse by future occupants. The building continually interacts with the sun as its primary source of light and energy. Its thin profile allows daylight to enter deep into its interiors. To maintain a healthy balance of heat-gain and lighting, its apertures were limited to 40% on Energy the South façade. The occupants assist the Revenue building in heat and light regulation by using interior blinds and operable windows. To get the most energy from the sun, all building Beaut y glazing is transparent PV glass. Connectio n The south façade is also terraced with environment EQUITY to increase horizontal surface area of exposure. The building helps Place fo r adjacent power companies generate community power for the city in days when it produces too much electricity.

Current technology allows the glazing within the building to take the form of PV glazing. This allows electricity generation without the expense of light loss or views. In order to increase horizontal generation, we terraced the south facade. The total area for PV is 31740ft 2. This allows us to create a building that is significantly net positive.
NATURAL VENTILATION The double height spaces and thin blocks allow air to ventilate through the spaces. During summer, fans are used to increase cooling of the building.

During days when heating is required, it uses an electrically powered boiler to heat the radiant floor system present in the building. The concrete structure and phase change flooring effectively stores heat received by the sun and the building heating system. Since it purely runs on electricity, the building emits no carbon waste. During days when cooling is required, the building ventilates using the stack effect aided by electric powered fans. The design of each loft, with a double height space allows air to naturally rise and vent from the building. The regularity of the building’s interior can be seen by the zigzag pattern on its façade. The zigzag creates various viewing angles that highlight Burnside Street and NE 14th Street. Its occupants may interact with the exterior environment further through balconies on the upper floor and patios on the lower level.

T R A N S I T I O N S The largo is currently not a destination but transitioning point. The site does not only transition people from one place to another, but other things as well: Architectural typology shifts as people move from the market to the East of the Largo. The brouhaha of the market shifts to become the honks and vrooms of passing vehicles. The mild aroma of leather and food slowly becomes the smoke and dust as one approaches the highway behind Nazione. In the largo we find unity amidst diversity in the site as a “transitioning entity,� creating an informal community, far more complex than we can ever analyze. Then, a question arises: how does the existence of a new architectural type both retain and accentuate the identity of the site? The approach should be tackled twofold: First new designs have to highlight the role of the site as a catalyst for movement along the largo. This would allow the identity of the site to be retained and upgraded. The diagram to the right would represent a parti for the fore mentioned idea. The main circulation through the site should be celebrated by the building.

Site Plan
The iconic Millennium Force of Cedar Point has a curve similar to that of a story arc. It’s sharp incline and dramatic downslope has given many thrills and stories to remember. In a similar way, Sandusky is made up of various stories and narratives. Whenever we engage shops, people and activity, we create stories. The activity in downtown Sandusky can be represented in a similar way. Nodes of activity and program create moments where stories climax, and empty spaces create places of transition, or change awaiting for the next story to begin. If we look at Sandusky, we would be able to create a simple diagram showing programmatic activity throughout downtown.The location of the university intersects the rhythm of narratives that exist within the city. How should the university respond to this rhythm? The university intends to weave with this rhythm. This weave represents the activity that takes place within the university and student living block.

Design + Research As architecture became apparently more complex,
so did the prominence of research in design projects. The Allegheny Publishing Collective demonstrates the integration of research on building facades and its integration with the building system to create a
building that is both performative and conceptually holistic.

T H E
The cultural district, at its very core, intends to contain all of Pittsburgh’s life. There are many buildings, from business to theater to stadium, that give identity to the vibrant city. Can all that culture come together further, in a single building? The creation of culture is always followed by the task of preserving culture. The question then is, how can we crystallize and preserve Pittsburgh’s culture, and continue the celebration through remembrance? “When I open them, most of the books have the smell of an earlier time leaking out between the pages - a special odor of the knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers. Breathing it in, I glance through a few pages before returning each book to its shelf.” -Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
C I T Y
There is, something about words on a page, or pictures on paper that carry the “odor of . . . knowledge and emotions that for ages have been calmly resting between the covers [of books].” Our efforts to preserve culture starts by bringing all of Pittsburgh’s local publication into a central location; books that carry nostalgia and celebratory sentiments of the great women and men that once traversed the city. Hence, the peace and serenity we intend to create not only lie in the physical absence of noise, or the lack of busyness, but to be able to let our weary souls rest and be comforted by finding solace in all the arts, humanities, creativity and life that was gifted to the city.

The linearity of the building exterior is brought into the interior. Light fixtures produce shadows that are linear in fashion, similar to railing designs and ceiling patterns.
The building piazza is the result of the building concept. As the visitor passes through, the will interact with the wind and the sun similar to the motives of the endless windgate.*

SYS T E M S
Building systems are integral to the performance of today’s buildings. The selection of building systems need to work harmoniously with one another. Mechanical, Structural, Electrical and Plumbing systems were carefully chosen to best represent the context and program of the building. In tackling building sustainability, the facade needs to be considered as a principal consumer of energy. Building facades exist as the interface between the exterior climate and interior environment within the building. It has become an integral component of building designs given the terminology “skin” to emphasize its role in the integration of building systems.
I N T EG R AT I O N
Our project draws inspiration from biological systems to respond to the climate of Pittsburgh. The facade translates natural responses into architectural design of the building facade using appropriate mechanical systems and materials. The façade integrates building structure and mechanical systems for the purposes of thermoregulation, hydroregulation, communication and protection of the building interior.

FAC ADE
To mitigate cooling loads, we look at the biggest heating factor for the peak cooling days for three sides of the facade. The question we asked: how can we (1) redirect heat from the facade to prevent heating within the building and at the same time, (2) use the heat gain on the facade to mitigate building heat loads?

The 94’ genocide in Rwanda has left a mark in history for being the 6th most horrific genocide in the history of mankind. At least 500,000 ethnic Tutsis were murdered, along with thousands of Tutsi sympathizers, moderate Hutus, and other victims of atrocity. Some estimates claim anywhere between 800,000- 1,000,000 killed. This horror story still stains the minds of people today. Since 94, Rwanda is slowly healing. Tremendous amounts of efforts have been poured into the redevelopment of Rwanda for the betterment of the generation to come. From women empowerment, to education to city development to architecture. Many have taken strides to get Rwanda running on two feet again. So we asked ourselves, how does architecture play a role in the restoration of a nation? How do we use the physical to cure the metaphysical? What does it take to bring about reconciliation of a people? Can something broken be once again fixed?
4/5
of Rwanda is involved in Agriculture
90%
Masterplan
of Rwanda’s Economy is generated by Agriculture
Despite the horrors of the 94’ genocide, Rwanda still thrives on. Agriculture in Rwanda is still a large part of society and culture in Rwanda. Coffee and Tea are amongst the countries largest exports generating large portions of its economy. Four out of 5 Rwandans work in the agricultural sector. Beyond economy, Agriculture was once done harmoniously between the Tutsis and the Hutus and echoes peace in the land. We saw that farming was extravagantly more than just the economic booster in Rwanda. It was a place of redignification and social reconciliation. As the Tutsis and the Hutus once were--farmers--then again they shall be as a symbol of unity in the land.

The housing facade is faced to the streets in order for people to see the beauty that each residents of accomplished. This move is to drive the resident’s motivation to work on the roof farms in order to maintain the view of the community.
The housing design attempts to maximize the effect of experiencing greenery into daily lives of the people. This will not only advocate sustainable living, it will also bring as much fresh air into the living space as much as possible. The solar roof also functions as a air gathering mechanism.

E X P LO R I N G VAC A N C I E S Besides strategically introducing landscapes into the framework connecting Galludet and H-Street through vacancies, a tactical option was explored. We asked questions: Can these vacant locations grow organically if we introduced a variety of nodes to activate the site? And if so, how will these vacancies grow over time? We projected scenarios for possible tactical growth throughout the site, over a period of time:
t=10
G ROW T H t = 1 Different types of nodes are located at each vacant point. This intends to create different kinds of activity throughout the vacant sites. Five different categories / types of nodes are chosen: (1)(v) Vendor and Sales, (2)(a) Art and visual nodes, (3) (p) Recreation and play, (4) (g) Green nodes, (5)(e) Energy Generation points.

Now that you know is the story of a boy and his T-square friend. He chooses daily to use the T-square for work, bringing it everywhere he goes. However, the T-square becomes more burdensome to him than a help for work, presenting him daunting tasks that require immense energy and time. It seems to the boy that he is now a small shadow, in comparison to the T-square. “Do you still love me, now that you know me?” asks the T-square. The boy ponders, “Why is it that I care? Why is it that I see myself implicated to you despite all I dread about you?” The answer lies in a voice outside his own. He looks around and sees the words, “I know you, and I love you.” “Lets get to work,” the boy responds.
