Project Brief: This project seeks to serve the community by being a space for creativity, learning, and experimentation, while reflecting the future needs of Detroit. Doing so will result in not only a profound positive impact on the city, but one that will easily endure 50+ years into the future. The LCC is a branch of the Detroit Public Library which also houses a fabrication shop - A Fab-Lab, which works in coalition with the Fab-City Global Initiative. This Fab-Lab along with a network of fabrication spaces throughout the world communicate and promote the local harvesting, manufacturing, and sale of product to remain within the city, thus creating a city that is self sustainable and one that consumes all the goods that it makes. The design of the LCC promotes the collection and management of storm-water on and around the site to respond to the large amount of impervious surface that Eastern Market has. The design allows for rain gardens and natural filtration systems to collect and clean the water and use it for on site irrigation and for other grey-water consumption uses. This water is slowed down which also helps the Detroit Combined Sewer system by preventing backups in times of heavy rainfall.

Site Analysis Y WA EN RE TG CU RE IND QU DE

The site is located at 1825 Division Street in Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Market. The parcel is about 14,000 sq.ft. and is zoned as a general industrial district and slopes on the east side of the site down towards the Dequindre Cut. The goal of the project is to design a 30,000 sq. ft. building consisting of primarily a library and a maker space. The program also allows for community gathering space as well as other additional programs found in traditional libraries. The design must respond to context and climate, both present and future and must align with some select COTE Top Ten Measure of Sustainable Design as provided by the AIA. ION

Exterior Facade: The design of the building consists of three stepping forms, one of which on the corner of Division Street and the Dequindre Cut which acts as a beacon which provides a location for those using the Dequindre Cut to access Division street and proceed to Eastern Market. The facade for two of the masses consists of pre-cast concrete panels, Trespa plank boards, and operable windows to allow for natural ventilation and fresh air. The beacon consists of a Kawneer 7500 Triple Pane Curtain Wall System with a complementary Versoleil SunShade system running vertically on the curtain wall to express the verticality and movement within the glazed mass.

Passive Strategies: 85%

The primary strategies that were implemented were controlled day-lighting and natural ventilation. These strategies were supplemented by a radiant heating floor system and a VAV Fresh-air intake system. The operable windows were able to be synced with a system that monitors interior air qualities such as temperature and humidity. This allows for maximum usage and operates the windows to increase energy efficiency in terms of ventilation. The floor plates as well as a central atrium allowed for natural light to reach to the center of the building without over-lighting the space. The horizontal light shelf system mounted to the exterior of the south and west facade allowed for the low winter sun to reach deeper into the space than the high summer sun.

Water Management: One of the COTE Design Measure that was heavily implemented and focused on was the management of water both on site and in the surrounding context. The design proposes to collect the rain water run-off from the surrounding buildings. This storm-water is then collected in a rain-garden that located between the building on-site and the building to the north of the site. This storm-water is then slowed down which prevents the sewers from overflowing due to a surge of storm-water. The design acts as a precedent for â&#x20AC;&#x153;storm-water stationsâ&#x20AC;? in areas of both high density and high impervious surfaces. These stations can act as buffers between the storm-water and the fragile combined sewer system that Detroit has.

In 2016, Detroit joined over 30 other cities worldwide to commit to the Fab City Global Initiative of creating self sustainable cities. The three main strategies in creating a self sustainable city come in the form of carbon reduction, waste minimization and the relocation of manufacturing and work. With this in mind, this Fab-lab located in Eastern Market has a strong grounding in the city and more specifically in the neighborhood in the near future. Eastern Market is becoming a place for local entrepreneurs, artists and creators to revive the run-down or otherwise under utilized warehouses in the district and are re-purposing them into art galleries, workshops, fabrication centers, and community promoted spaces.

Second Consumption

Some of those materials and used goods can be re-purposed and sold locally.

Knowledge about re-purposing those materials can be stored and shared with other Fab-labs around the world to help promote the movement of data and not goods.

The products are then able to be reused and may have potential to be recycled into other products.

Fab-Lab: This space allows for the youth of Detroit as well as young adults to prepare them for the future of digital fabrication in the city of Detroit and more specifically Eastern Market. This space can be used to host workshops, seminars, and skilled labor certification programs to benefit the majority of the community both present and future. The Fab-lab allows space for both digital fabrication using CNC machines, 3D Printers, and Laser Cutters. It also has conventional tools for traditional wood-working and making. The space has several tables that can be used for community workshops and/or private work spaces.

Louver House Project Locations:

Project Size:

Downtown Detroit, MI

200000 ft2

Studio Information: ARCH 2200, Vertical Design Studio, Winter 2019 Professor James Leach

Project Brief: Located adjacent from the Detroit Opera House, the Louver House is designed to house retail space on the ground floor and office space in the tower above. The project is commissioned by the Detroit Opera House as a way to provide a constant income and provide entertainment for those attending shows at the Opera House or those traveling to and from work. The Louver House responds to several environmental problems which became apparent overtime in the Lever House designed by SOM and completed in 1952. One of the main problems that the proposed design addresses is a disconnect between the ground level retail space and the office tower above. The design addresses this problem by allowing for stepped courtyard in the center of the site which brings the public from Broadway street up to the sky-lobby of the tower. This design allows for not only retail on the ground floor but for the base of the tower to house retail as well.

The project consists of a pattern of precast panels and curtain wall systems. This system helps limit the over lit conditions that the Lever house faced as well as makes space for the office space to have 2 story entry spaces and allows for light to flood deeper into the floor plates.

This series of massing studies focuses on mass and void for a podium and tower design. By incorporating the idea of a sky lobby for a more private entrance to the offices and an open ground floor to allow for retail and creates a sense of invitation into the space. The two models to the left were combined to create the general mass of the building.

23 23

Stepping the central courtyard towards the pedestrian side of the site allows for an invitation up and into the retail and office space above.

The tower is placed on the side of the site with heavier vehicle traffic while the base is on the side with more pedestrian friendly traffic.

The bottom of the base and bottom of the tower are cut out to create openings that allow for daylight in the retail and sky lobby space.

Studio Information: ARCH 2100, Vertical Design Studio, Fall 2018 Professor Judyta Wesolowska

Project Brief: The Poletown East Redevelopment project is located north of Eastern Market in Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Historic Pole-town East Neighborhood which currently houses the Detroit Renewable Energy Plant. This project calls for a redevelopment of the site to consist of a new environmentally friendly waste management plant as well as retail, residential, educational, and ample green space in the surrounding context. The proposed design weaves bike and walking paths through a traditional city block grid which promotes the walk-ability in the neighborhood. This interwoven bike and walking path connects residential with retail as well as uniting green space with the built environment. One of the main goals of the project is for the project to act as a catalyst for environmentally friendly urban design in the city of Detroit.

The site is located in Poletown East which is in Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 5. The site has been home to the Detroit Renewable Power Station for over 30 years. The creation of the incinerator has drove those in the surrounding communities out of the area due to both noise and air pollution. Although both citizens and activists have confronted the City with complaints, the City still allows the station to function despite economic and environmental problems. The facility processes up to 3,300 tons of municipal solid waste per day into refuse-derived fuel that is burned to create 720,000 pounds of steam per hour. A portion of the resulting steam is directed through turbines to generate up to 68 megawatts of electricity.

Capitol Park Co-Spaces Design Excellence Honorable Mention

Project Locations:

Project Size:

Downtown Detroit, MI

30000 ft2

Studio Information: ARCH 1400, Second Year Foundation Studio, Winter 2018 Professor Emily Kutil

Project Brief: The site is located on one of the parcels surrounding Capitol Park. The current surface parking lot is adjacent to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Albertâ&#x20AC;?, formally known as the Griswold Building. The project calls for mid-rise building consisting of co-living units as well as co-working office space. The co-working and living spaces are intended for local entrepreneurs who would be able to live and work in the same building which allows for greater collaboration of the entrepreneurial creative mind.

The living and working programs of the building are divided by a central atrium which acts as a divide between private living space and public working space. The courtyard also connects Capital park to a proposed activated alley condition behind the site. The two halves of the building are curved with the closest parts being in the center of the atrium. This design choice is to create a compression and release while inside the space while pedestrians are moving from capitol park to the activated alley. The ground level of the atrium is able to be used for markets, public gatherings, and other medium scale events. This atrium is then interwoven with a system of cables in varying densities to create private and public spaces.

Cultural District, Detroit, MI

~150 ft2 each

Competition Information: 1st Midtown Cultural Connections Student Design Summit

Project Brief: As part of the DIA Plaza & Midtown Cultural Connections International Design Competition, student design teams were tasked to envision the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future through the lens of connectivity. The aim of this competition is to address the opportunity of connectivity that the DIA and the surrounding cultural district have with each other and with other areas and neighborhoods.

This design shows a practical application to connect people with the history and culture of the area through the social and physical interaction of the design. Our team focused to emphasize the historical significance of not only the district but several other neighborhoods throughout the City. The historical pop-ups would first be implemented in the cultural center and will be proposed in other historic neighborhoods around the city including Corktown, Downtown, and Jefferson Chalmers. The intent of these displays is to show appreciation for not only the grown and expansion of these areas but the rich history that they have grown from. The design consists of a vision glass wall with a historical image overlaid on the glass which reflects that which was previously beyond the glass and allows for the user to see through the past into the ever changing present and future. This design ties together the community through reflection on the past as well as a vision for the future. 43

The historical looking glasses will be constructed strategically throughout the area in spots that mimic where historical pictures were taken. Implementing them in this area is a first step for these to be set up throughout the city.

We use these spaces as a place of recollection and remembrance. These spaces include a glass panel with a translucent historic image which allows us to look into the past. Other historical information is to be shown and displayed on the walls within.

Beyond the historical overlay layy la is the current conditions that hat re ea remains fluid as the area develops, grows, and changes. es.. es The history of the area is encapsulated in the images and nd experiences while everything ng g outside of the box continues to to change as life goes on.

Bagley Community Park Collaborative Service Project, Lead by Juan Arias and in collaboration with NOMAS-UDM

Project Locations:

Project Size:

Bagley Neighborhood, Detroit, MI

8000 ft2

Project Information: A pocket park commissioned by the Bagley Community Council.

Project Brief: In the winter of 2017, members of the Bagley Community reached out to Juan Arias and requested help designing a community gathering space on a corner lot that the neighborhood came together and purchased. Starting that winter and leading into early spring, the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students at the University of Detroit Mercy worked on the design of this space with the community. This included community meetings and small workshops all the way up to the construction of the park being a joint effort of the community and NOMAS.

The design consisted of a pavilion towards the back of the lot with a fire pit and a walkway dividing the site. Planters and seats were built and placed around the boundary of the site that was on the street to provide a buffer for children to be able to play in the green space without parents having a fear of the children running into the street. The site required a lot of design consideration that would be low maintenance because the community members would not be able to consistently maintain the park.

Northlawn St

Santa Maria Ave.

One with the Community: Interacting with the community throughout this project allowed for a sense of family to form between my fellow class-mates and those in the Bagley Community. Normally college groups and service organizations tend to â&#x20AC;&#x153;invadeâ&#x20AC;? neighborhoods and push an agenda that the community does not support but are rather just a back drop for a service project. Being invited by the community to work on this project exceeded my expectation when it came to the amount of the involvement from the community. 48

The major construction of the park took place over a series of weekends in May and early June. Each weekend our students went out to work on the project, we were greeted by community members waiting with snack and refreshments for breakfast as well as tools and smiles on their faces. What makes this project memorable to be is not the fantastic design but the emotion and attitude that I had throughout the process. Normal studio projects have no deeper connection and emotion because we are simply designing a space for people who we do not know. Getting to know the elders as well as the children in the community allowed for me to not only work to create a nice space but work for the community so that I know that they are getting the best out of us as an organization and as students who love to community around us. 49

Foldable Architecture: ARCH 1100, First Year Foundation Studio, Fall 2016 Professor Allegra Pitera

Project Brief: The foldable architecture project is one of the first larger projects that are assigned in the first year of architecture school. The project is to use 1 to 2 pieces of 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;x8â&#x20AC;&#x2122; sheets of corrugated cardboard to create a shelter that can be carried either by hand or as a backpack. One of the harder challenges of this project is to make it portable but also large enough to house an adult human. This design allows for the user to lay inside for sleeping or to sit partially in for eating or sitting against a wall. The design also remains portable and easy to assemble due to its symmetry and material quality.

Sketch Models: ARCH 1100, First Year Foundation Studio, Fall 2016 ARCH 1200, First Year Foundation Studio, Winter 2017 Professor Allegra Pitera

Project Brief: The models made for this exercise were to study the relationship between void, plane, and mass. To study the effect that light had on these models, they were then drawn to highlight the contrast of the light and shadow created by the folding, creasing, and combination of these planes and shapes.

Visual Communications: ARCH 1110, Visual Communications I, Fall 2016 Sister Marie Henderson, 2nd half

Section Brief: This course took the skills of drawing that were learned in the first half and started to apply them to more complex shapes. The section also starts to implement color while still emphasizing the fundamental ideas of perspective, contrast, scale and spacial relationship.

Visual Communications: ARCH 1110, Visual Communications II, Winter 2017 Professor Wladek Fuchs, 1st half

Section Brief: This course was the first Visual Communications class that started to integrate technology and digital representation as a way to communicate ideas. The course was an introduction into 3D modeling software in which 3DS Max was taught. Using this program couples with V-Ray we were able to produce renderings and learn how the software is able to render light bouncing, reflection, as well as motion and videos.

Visual Communications: ARCH 1110, Visual Communications IV, Winter 2018 Professor Erika Lindsay

Section Brief: This course is intended to teach different ways of visualizing and communicating design ideas through the use of digital programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. The projects assigned during the course were intended to help us as students develop our story telling ability through graphics, renderings, Photoshop colleagues, and other forms of digital representation.
