interaction between all students!

program interaction: micro scale

square footage req’d per year

9


a focus on transition spaces between private studios!

layered spaces with common area

transition personal to shared

layered private vs. open common space

open area for interaction

10


SPACES ARE DEVELOPING!

I SEE SOME NICE WORK ALL AROUND ME

TRANSITION THROUGH SPACES

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPACES

INTRODUCING COLLABORATIVE PODS

11


NICE

ta-dah! interactive pod spaces! i like getting to see everyones work

this could work

C_ABE and... coMMUNITY?

WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS TWIST...

14


filtering to a common space mix! students, faculty, community!

where and how will the community blend with c_ABE?

breaching through a barrier

providing program to concept

15


the program is beginning to invite public

color key!

program list: Size proportional to scale of space

16


BOUNDARIES EXPOSED

PUBLIC AROUND PRIVATE

CENTRAL PUBLIC USAGE

TRICKLING THROUGH INCREASINGLY DENSE SPACES

PUBLIC WILL ENCOUNTER PRIVATE ON THEIR JOURNEY THROUGH C_abe!

17


no! not just an interaction between students! an interaction between the university and the community

interaction between all students!

03:

unifying separate campuses

here comes some analysis!

20


where is Philadelphia university?

main campus

philadelphia university campus map THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT SIDES OF CAMPUS!

ravenhill campus

21


There’s a lot of community engagement

campus map

22


too noisy!

close to transportation, community engagement, and a serene backdrop... this site is perfect!

community context to campus

23


this is a steep site!

HERE ARE SOME SEASONAL WIND ROSES!

MAN ITS WINDY!

THE SITE PROOVES TO BE A GREAT PLACE FOR THE COMUNITY AND THE UNIVERSITY TO COEXIST.

04:

spatial concepts of site

what does this site really mean?

30


this looks familiar

initial site reaction

concept reflection in site

areas of focus naturally sheltered with repetitious patterns

site patterns

31


BLURRING THE SITE BOUNDARIES!

I LIKE THIS INSTILLATION

VOLUMES BEHIND A NATURAL BORDER

05:

diagraming site reactions

where will spacial concepts take C_ABE?

38


programing a journey!

not on but within site

quick spatial reactions to the site

39


a new entry to a new campus

diagram of existing borders

several natural borders provide a buffer for c_abe and the existing homes

2 faces to the building

40


the following are several forms C_ABE COuld Have been...

each iteration was tested, studied, and pushed further

i’d Hate to see this path go

A BLURRING WALL System

this is how we blur boundaries!

NICE MATERIALITY!

PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY

how will THIS SCREEN SYSTEM BE BUILT AND ACTUALLY FUNCTION?

Now, will this system work as a shading device? BLOCK THAT SOLAR GAIN!

I wonder if this will actually work as a shade?

07:

from concept to building

now it’s time to make a building!

50


auditorium entrance sketch

early sketches used circulation around program spaces as a key elements.

the wall system was tested inside.

volumes within the boundaries of the site

initial program arrangement

51


massing volume study models in the site

1/16” = 1’-0” section sketch

1/16” = 1’-0” section study model

yeah, this could work

52


did you see that lady walking her dog in the C_abe center?

Base floor

Circulation through site an organizational beginning..

building cross section: 1’16” = 1’-0”

third floor

53


this is getting there!

floor plan sketch

make the circulation exterior!

Cut a path right through the center, creating two buildings and a path.

54


first floor plan: 1/16” 1’-0”

2nd floor plan: 1/16” = 1’-0”

here comes an exterior pathway!

55


4th floor plan: 1/16” = 1’-0”

5th floor plan: 1/16” = 1’-0”

notice how the pods begin to go into the path.

NICE ROOF

THE IDEA’S THERE BUT MAN THAT PATH IS DARK AND BORING!

AHHH! ITS DARK

PATH NEEDS A PROGRAM...

I LIKE THOSE LOUVERS BUT, UM...

so what is actually in the building?

what a great idea!!
