The 322,996sm courthouse is designed as a simple cube based on an 1.8 meter grid. The grid originates in plan, but is most evident on the building’s exterior where aluminum fins are placed at 300mm modules. The fin profiles vary in size and shape and are articulated to recognize the sun’s interaction with different facades. The screen covers the building as a Japanese screen that subtly displaying the interior functions to the exterior. Private areas read with more opacity and open to more public/transparent areas.

The building’s entry is on an asymmetrical east-west axis through a large stainless steel and glass clad portal. This portal leads to a triple height lobby where the occupant is introduced to a material palette of wood, glass and steel. A wood wall to the north and a cylindrical ceremonial stair to the west lock into their intended positions in the grid and inform occupants of the four square plan.

The courtrooms are placed at each corner of the four square plan and are composed of wood and glass walls. Transparency and security were of great concern to the client; however, the design intent was to break from the standard courtroom typology and allow light to penetrate into the space. This move not only involved a lengthy process of client education, but also required engineering studies with acoustics and day lighting.

This office complex for an undisclosed client houses a 22,405sm office building, 13,845sm parking structure, a 1368sm daycare facility as well as on-site surface parking in the Hato Rey district of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The building’s overall appearance and form is derived from various studies and client requirements. The shrouded appearance of the cantilevered structure is a product of the client’s necessity to remain anonymous to the surrounding community. The screened facade also provides an opportunity to address the environmental issues that tend to affect a large glass facade in the Caribbean.
15
The building’s plan configuration pays homage to Old San Juan’s density and its utilization of interior courtyards to provide appropriate day lighting and natural ventilation for the hot and humid climate. Since the building program primarily looks inward, we saw these courtyards as an opportunity to connect the occupant to nature with varying types of gardens that would reflect the variety of natural landscapes found in Puerto Rico.

site plan proposed schematic design layout
The program of the site and office building requires a unique entry sequence, which is atypical of most office buildings. The employee entrance is to be obscured from the public, allowing the workers to maintain their desired level of privacy from pedestrians and building visitors. The public enters the site through a large grove of existing mahogany trees to the north. The building’s low profile slowly appears, hovering over a large pool of water. Occupants enter the building’s interior through a small lobby flanked to the west by a courtyard that penetrates through the building, framing the sky.

The views to the outside of the building are skewed by an undulated screen composed of weaving perforated aluminum strips. This exterior treatment was necessary to blur the vision of the building’s interior, allowing the building’s inner workings to remain anonymous to the general public. We worked closely with our environmental engineers on the proportions of the space between the screen and the glass curtain wall, and on the rhythm of the weaving pattern for maximum benefits.

Designed with Tishman Speyer, this 430,500sf tower is to be located in a transitional area of San Francisco. The main design challenge was overcoming the traditional tiered tower model required by the city planners. Stretching the limits at hand, we reinterpreted the tiered tower as an asymmetric stacking of volumes. Sizes and shifts required a careful analysis of portion, while maintaining a mathematical balance of floor square footage set by city code and the developer. To create visual appeal to the exterior skin, various options were studied of modest shifts similar to the overall massing studies. The final outcome is a simple read of a building that skews the reflection of its context in hopes to minimize the overbearing mass of its body. The tower’s fine texture of glass and stainless steel diminishes its brutal mass to an intricately

This 190,062sf addition of New York Law School was completed in 2009 and is located adjacent to the existing facility in Tribeca. The building is comprised of a three level library, seminar classrooms, and an interior and exterior rooftop lounge complimented by a student and faculty cafeteria. This highly activated facade not only provides a space for communication within the building, but also communicates the internal program of a law school to the surrounding urban context. The building radiates through the community as it never did before.

The main focus of the design team was to create a building where the design of collaborative space was just as critical as the design of classroom space. A constant discourse is part of the foundation of a law student’s education and success. The architecture of a law school should anticipate for this discourse with the design communal areas outside the classroom. Wide public corridors adjacent a large floating glass wall, house circulation and informal lounge spaces for such activities to occur.

Marvel Architects was awarded the contract to design and construct a 400,000gsf residential condo tower with Hudson Companies in September 2014. The RFP included the design of the core and shell of the luxury residential tower in addition to the shell of the Brooklyn Heights Public Library housed on the ground floor of the building. The design of the exterior of the building is a study of classical portions of the golden triangle that form a simplistic grid of limestone and bronze panels. The vertical rhythm of the 2, 3 and 4 floor stacking plays with the over all scale of the building and how it relates to surrounding downtown Brooklyn towers and the small residential scale of Brooklyn Heights. The triangular site allows for various readings of the grid and it's shifting portions.

The design of the library facade breaks down the scale of the tower grid to a finer grain composed of transparent and opaque panels. The existing mid-century designed library, known for it's dark spaces, will be replaced with a light-filled library that interacts with the surrounding street life of Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn.

In partnership with Arup, Marvel Architects' approach to the design of two residential towers on Pier Six in Brooklyn Bridge Park explores the concept of the 'living building' for multi-family residential design. Mechanical systems and engineered facades respond to climatic shifts from day to night or season to season. The market rate and affordable towers actively engage with the landscape, while programmatically connecting the park to surrounding neighborhoods. The design and engineering of the buildings strive to connect the occupant to the growing ecological landscape of the 21st century city.

The 20 degrees northeast tilt of the building results in maximum solar irradiation on the south wall allowing for natural lighting and passive solar heating through direct sunlight during the winter; however, solar irradiation must be controlled during the summer in order to reduce the solar heat gain and cooling load.
Operable window
The following key factors have been developed with respect to thermal control, solar gain control, weather resistance, building energy use, daylighting performance, and occupants’ comfort, which consequently have influenced the design of the project:
Trombe wall
South, East, West Facades: •
Absorbs sunlight all day Radiates heat all night
Trombe walls throughout the facade decrease the glazing to opaque ratio and therefore yields a better performing envelope as well as supporting the passive heating strategies
•
6’-0” deep balconies act as overhanging geometry providing window shading in order to block the relatively higher summer sunlight from entering the building
•
A further level of performance has been added to the facade design by employing an operable vertical exterior shading system that can fold to allow maximum direct solar radiation during the winter and unfold to completely block direct solar radiation from occupied space during peak summer conditions

A new social media campus forms in a linear east-west direction, anchored by the NY Times building. The campus is composed of a mixture public and private program with campus program highlighted within a composition of community amenities and reconfigured mass transit nodes. The existing ramps of the Port Authority Terminal remain as site relics and alternative public green space. Using the campus as a programmatic device, the project investigates the role of large scale transportation infrastructure within today's urban context and adaptability to the metropolitan grid of New York City. By the re scaling of infrastructure, the campus rethinks the role of the city block as a spine of integrated public and private function - building and open space that recreates an entry point to Manhattan.

milan | italy urban grafting design studio instructor cino zucchi harvard university graduate school of design spring 2013
Every urban age produces artifacts obeying to the culture of their time. In other fields this generates what we call a “material culture” composed by objects connected by more than one formal resemblance, but still capable of being isolated from their context and exposed in a museum glass vitrine once functionally obsolete. But city parts are forced to coexist and function together with other previous ones, designed on the base of different needs, with different technologies, by people with different values, ideals, desire, aesthetics. In this sense, the word “grafting” is more than just a slogan: it rather describes the necessary condition of growth of every urban settlement. This growth has never been “organic” in time. No general city master plan ever manage to govern the expansion of a city for a long lapse of it, even if often the morphology traced by it survived well the change of the buildings over the years.
The city of Milan, heavily bombed during WWII, was reconstructed and expanded upon in the sixties and seventies following specific methods, where the needs of modern living were fully responded to with close attention paid to existing urban morphologies. In many cases, the potential conflict between the permanence of urban form and the evolving patterns of building types was solved by a “double strategy” capable of dealing with each of them individually and then merging their features into a new organism. - Cino Zucchi 2013

The site is a former army base located in an out lying neighborhood of Milan. Midcentury housing complexes and a mix of small commericial areas make up the urban fabric. One building along the southwest edge of the site remains, to be incorporated in the site development. By extending the commericial street to the southeast through the site, a large public space is formed that separates housing from student residences/academic program along the southwest edge. The individual housing blocks gradually break apart creating openings into their interior courts. The Milanese urban block is primarily composed of smaller, private courtyards. The Caserma Montebello development would push these conventions by exposing the interior courtyards to the public.

view into the courtyard
Architectural theorist Marc-Antoine Laugier wrote that the basis for all architectural forms are in nature. The primitive hut, the most basic shelter fashioned out of tree and branches, was the ideal manifestation of architectural form. In the project site, existing columns line the edge of the courtyard space and define its perimeter. The Traced Column imagines a new skin for one of these structural members, referencing its origin in the tree while proposing a new performative and playful role for the column to play in the space. Through the intervention, the column appears to unwrap, like bark falling from a tree. The shells of the bark unravel and fall away, revealing the original column and creating a small canopy inside the courtyard.

The miLES Storefront Transformer is a versatile set of furnishings and amenities to program any storefront - essentially a 6 foot cube that can be easily transported and subdivided to roll through any storefront door. When unfolded, the Transformer provides functional elements such as shelving, partitions, tables, seats, stage, as well as lighting, WIFI, power hookups and speakers for all your basic ingredients to get your pop-up shop underway. Imagine a shape-shifting storefront, one space, many possibilities - independent art space one week to designer fashion boutiques the next. One kit with endless possibilities.

The goal for this project is to create an object that can transform in form and function through simple human manipulation. The project, whether in isolation or aggregation has the potential for a range of programmatic uses. The piece is to act as a piece of transformable urban furniture that has the ability to create and reinterpret public space. The idea of ‘bench to exhibition’ evolved after observing how cumbersome and aesthetically unpleasing the mobile presentation boards are scattered throughout the GSD. The existing boards serve only one function and when not in use are stored in any available corner of the building. With the transformation of the scissor linkage in the horizontal and vertical directions, we saw an opportunity to create a compact seat that could unfold into a larger presentation wall. With an intended compacted height of 22" and an overall foot print of 20”x30” these modules could be used as roving classrooms or presentation seating. Its expanded height of six feet with an overall footprint of ten feet would serve as adequate exhibition space.
