MARKET VAULTS

Studio Project

Professor Chris Bardt

Project Brief Site: Providence, RI The project emerges as the result of rethinking the market within today’s urbanity. A market can be described using just one action, exchange. As the market has fallen victim to online commerce, the premise of the project seizes to reimagine the market as a place for the exchange of ideas, information, culture, education, and services in order to empower its local context.

The project begins by considering the smallest of the components within the market, the brick. The intention was to take something ordinary, in this case the brick, and by introducing the slightest change to its form test its versatility. Each iteration revealed a different behavior; serving a unique purpose such as ornamental, structural, ventilation, and lighting. As observed in these studies, by introducing this change complexity was achieved through the means of simplicity.

The second portion of the design considers the aggregate of the units as a whole.

The action of tapering the brick is now applied into a vault system both as an assembly process and a spatial condition. The studies resolve into a datum in which program and circulation constantly intersect and generate exchange spaces throughout the market.

The new market embeds itself as a site for exchange in every aspect.

The ground level can perform as a seasonal market, forum space, and an indoor plaza. The shifting partitions enable exchange through temporality, allowing for different types of events, occupants, and spatial configurations.

A continuous ramp guides the occupant throughout the market and at moments frames spaces that encourage impromptu activities to take place as well as balconies that look into the center vault where the forum space is located.

The upper levels offer temporal work spaces for the exchange of services.

In this areas the occupants can work and teach their skills with other individuals as a way to promote local craftsmanship.

FABRICATING URBANITY: PVD Way finding

Studio Project

Professors Karin Hostettler Hannah Winders

Project Brief Site: Providence, RI Located at the old intersection of the Interstate 195 and Interstate 95 that used to divide the downtown area of Providence, the intervention positions itself as a new landmark for the city. Where once a thriving jewelry industry lived, the landmark celebrates the rich history of the district and frames views of the different neighborhoods that represent the future of the city. Through the simple gestures of bend and twist the two planes take on a sculptural form, providing a new visual point of entry and creating a new public space to lead the redevelopment of the district.

MICRO HAUS

Team Project

Professor Jonathan Knowles

Project Brief Site: Olneyville, RI | Race to Zero Competition - Finalist 2018 Micro Haus implements energy efficient practices and strong daylighting strategies to combat the current affordable housing demand in the historic neighborhood of Olneyville in Rhode Island. By occupying un-developed micro lots in the area, the design changes the hesitant preconception of developers towards these lots allowing affordable energy efficient housing for small families.

The 837sq. ft. residence is conformed of two volumes, one that holds the living spaces and the second volume that holds the shared spaces. This arrangement allows the design to establish a hierarchy that sets the organization of the residence as a layout that is simple to navigate and generates flexibility in use, benefiting any type of occupant. The interior design of the residence acknowledges the entities that make up the design. As both the living and shared spaces are represented in the form of the house, they also become evident in the interior layout. The larger of the volumes holds the entrance, the stairs, and the living spaces, while the smaller volume holds the family spaces, such as the dining room and living room.

RECOLLECTION OF MEMORIES

Studio Project

Professor Mike Lindsey

Project Brief Site: Orlando, FL This project is the result of exploring architecture as a consequence of memory. The concept relies on the process that takes place in an individuals brain in order to generate a memory.

This action is broken into three stages; encoding, consolidation, and re-consolidation. The method offered the foundation for the conception of the final design.

31

32

33

The two diagrams to the bottom left show the location of the memories documented which are used to generate a datum for the placement of the small scale intervention located to the South-West corner of Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.

The mapping leads to a form exploration exercise that breaks the 2 dimensional information from the diagrams into a 3 dimensional volume that can then be spatially articulated. The form is inspired by the consolidation stage of memory in which the brain combines the factual information with the emotional information being experienced by the individual. The structure retains a core while the skin reshapes the pavilion resembling the result of emotions reshaping the facts.

Professor Brett Schneider

Team Project

Project Brief Site: Quonset Point, RI | Integrated Building Systems Course Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) | Peripheral Circulation | Green Roof | Cavity Wall This office scheme consolidates critical services in perimeter cores and inverts the conventional use of building materials. Modular GFRC concrete panels clad the exterior, while a robust modular system of Cross Laminated Timber bearing walls act as the primary structure. Given the unfortunate proliferation of suburbarn office parks, the project can still serve the discipline by acting as testing grounds for radical construction techniques.

RECONNECTING THE FRAGMENTS

Studio Project

Professor Renwick Daelo

Project Brief Site: Chicago, IL The project looks into the issues of homelessness, mental health, and drug addiction in the city of Chicago and proposes a health facility to bring help to those in need. The initial mapping and model studies shown, portray the fragmented social and infrastructural systems that lay behind the mirage of an impeccable city. This fragmentation serves as the guide for the project; to fix what is broken rather than replace it, is to embrace change and opportunity. The health facility takes on the form of a tower to represent a body, one that has been put together from broken fragments and stands strong amongst those in the city.

Inspired by Beltran Goldberg’s River City vision of an architecture that creates a city within itself, the tower offers a program that would generate a healing city for the occupants; immediate care, dining, long term care, counseling, education, and living all within the same roof.

PROVIDENCE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Studio Project

Professor Dongwoo Yim

Project Brief Site: Providence, RI Located in downtown Providence, the projects aims to rethink the traditional services of the library in the 21st century in response to the rise of the digital era and the decline of the physical book. It argues that digital information can be lost in an instant without any trace, however the book remains as a physical object and a source of information we may always reference. The design defines 3 entities within this library system; the digital, the book, and the people. The book serves as the anchor for the media and the people. Programs are arranged around the spiral stacks of books that lead to the different services as the occupant travels throughout the library. On the first floor the spiral stacks frame the auditorium with the purpose of bringing people together through lectures, plays, and/or public gatherings. As it continues its way up, it offers reading and study spaces leading to the work area on the top level with the computer lab and event deck.

ORLANDO FLEET WALL

Professional Project

KMF Architects

Project Brief Site: Orlando, FL | AIA Orlando Chapter Award of Honor The Gore Wall synthesizes the processes of handmade textiles, monolithic scales of concrete, and the current typology of the facade on site. Located in the city of Orlando, Florida the Gore Wall’s main goal is to shield the services of the site as a way to establish a connection between the Orlando Fleet Management Facility and its surrounding neighborhoods. We see the design as a opportunity to build a relationship between structure, environment, and community.

The design aims to counteract the negative connotations of separating entities by utilizing the edge as a condition that exemplifies the fabric of the city. Exploring the simple actions of weaving, over and under, a dynamic facade was created with points that extrude and recess 4 inches. This variation allows for the growth of vegetation that creates a secondary surface to the wall. The undulating variations within the panels allows greenery to envelope the surface creating a balance between hard and soft. The creation of a free flowing facade, composed of 5 panel types, was designed and arranged to introduce sequence to the edge addressing both the pedestrian and the vehicle.
