The site strategy is to provide a connection between the Troy campus and the river front. Located on the river front and next to the historic train station, the Montgomery Children’s Science Center has the potential to be a vibrant center for culture and the arts. The idea of spliting up the buiding helps emphasize the act of movement and allows for better flow throughout the site. Each part of the building has multiple functions in serving the public and students and thus will provide benefits to the community as a whole.

Right : Mezzanine floorplan of the science center. The mezzanine level accomodates three main points of egress, classroom space, overlooking walkways and decks to provide an interactive environment with the levels. Oveleaf : (Left) Longitudinal section paints a vivid picture of how pedestrian movement throughout the building engages the patrons with multiple experiences and views through the progression from the entrance to the final showroom level overlooking the river. (Right) Elevation looking west shows the two different zones within the building. The front portion addresses the public while the second half is more inclosed and provides a private intimate feeling.

Children’s Cardiac Hospital South Loop, Chicago, Illinois
Drawing inspiration from the rich, urban context of the Printer’s Row district in Chicago, the Cardiac Hospital is designed as a facility to meet the needs of modern medical practices while accommodating the patients, hospital staff and public visitors in a meaningful way. This proposal utilizes an efficient floor plate design in order to create both a fully functioning hospital and build multiple communal/family zones throughout the building. An inter woven ground and second floor provide large communal gathering spaces for patients visitors and staff. The openess continues on the cafeteria floor with the connections to the outside, admin floor and atrium. The spaces are not only experiential but are space that provide discovery and re-discovery for all going through taxing times. The patient care unit floors are capped with family spaces for the loved ones. Finally the hospital is capped by the roof garden and playground space to allow for those that cannot leave to experience the outdoors.

The hospital reacts to the existing spatial conditions and urban context of the city. The lower band relates to the street, while the upper bands, set back and open up to allow for sunlight and the vistas of the cityscape to interact with each guest’s experience during their stay.

The site strategy is to create public and private zones thus providing a connection between the Civil Rights park and the middle school. Formally the location of the civil rights movement the building has to address the image of the movement as well as the program of the building itself. This proposal utilizes the park to provide a public buffer zone between the classrooms and the park. In order to create a flow between the two sections the library, cafe and auditorium form the public zone. This in turn provides a very private feel the rest of the school and provides a moment of celebration to the park by having a multifunction facae that can be used to provide shows to the public.

Inspired by cubical forms and building blocks, the lake adapts to the landscape and appears to stack and interconnect within itself. The orthogonal form allows for a smaller building footprint and better connection to the surrounding context. The interior of the home is based on a sequencing of spaces. One enters the house, and slowly progresses from the ground level to the public space on the lower tier of the building. Nestled spaces, overhanging decks and dynamic volumes create interactive forms within the building. The home shelters its inhabitants while engaging the surrounding hillside and lakefront in order to create a close connection with the house and nature.
