Similar to an organism, CELL CYCLE functions as a system, responding to the site holistically. The pedon-like cells compose stage areas, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy. These cells compose a a skin, making reference to biological anatomy. Molded into amorphous, wave-like volumes, the large volumes make direct reference to maritime heritage settled in the port of Oslo and Northern Europe alike. The organic nature of CELL CYCLE’s forms provoke a graphic character of sustainability. Both the cells and the large, mycelia-encasing volumes are composed of, high performance biodegradable thermoplastic. Such material was chosen for its translucency, moldability, and biodegrading properties. Come the festival’s end, CELL CYCLE will return to the earth

Street Harmonics Semester

Life is moving. Pedestrians in cities are readily in movement. Whether walking to work, to school, to anywhere - play is rarely a commodity experienced for those on-the-go. But no longer. Through manipulative play and melodies, Street Harmonics incorporates play on-the-go and activates fun within dense urban centers. Located on the street-scape, a place rarely recognized for play, Street Harmonics allows for musical play along sidewalks.
Play On The Go Americans use walking as a regular mode of transportation on average of 3 days a week.
= 51%
of the travelling public.
Play Together
25%
of these walking trips are used for recreational and social purposes, not work.

Rain Garden Demonstration As users play with the musical harp, it’s almost impossible not to notice the luxurious rain garden that the harp inhabits. With the rain garden, Street Harmonics not only improves aesthetics to city streets, but also promotes sustainable storm water management. Rain gardens allows for the infiltration of water from street into the soil. Trees and native plants add greenery and aesthetics which contrast with the hardscape of the urban environment.

After the Korean War ended in 1953, thousands of families were separated by the Demilitarized Zone. This zone which seperates North and South Korea stretches many hundreds of miles and is laden with mines, making it impossible to cross. Over 40,000 families sign up each each year in hopes to be reunitied with their families, while 3,000 family members pass away each year. Between the towns of Daesong-dong (South Korea) and Kijong-dong (North Korea) is the place where the Unbroken Circle lies. This location is one of the last beacons of hope for Koreans as each town has a view of the other. This area between these towns is one of the only places along the DMZ where this is possible. The Unbroken Circle evokes memories of those missed, lost, and no longer in our lives. Through a contrast of unity and separation, the absence of human presence in this site helps remember those missing and why they were special.

Solar movement does not distract from the contemplative experience but enhances the figure of the inaccessible space.
The native soil and weather conditions at this site are ideal for growing native plants. Nearby are farming communities that have existed for numerous decades indicating that the soil at this site is fertile.

What Defines Memories? Are they events, activities, or places we have gone? Or are they dominated by something else? Countless memories are shaped by the people with whom we’ve experienced these moments. Spending time with friends, traveling with family, or letting someone you love go; people define our memories—people that we have met, that we have loved, that we have lost. It is their absence which evokes their memory. Their departure from our lives conjures an absence within us, reminding us how special they were.

The Bellefonte Masterplan Semester
Spring 2014
Location
Bellefonte, Pennsylvania
Type
Academic
Between the layers of Commercial and Residential Development, there lay a dilapidated parcel of land. It functions to bring a single opportunity to the landscape – the opportunity for a park. In order to bring new opportunities to the Bellefonte core, and in order to create land for a vibrant community, there needs to be a greater division among the landscape resulting in various programs. Frames between new roads, bridges, and paths act to encapsulate plazas, parks, and agricultural zones. This moment of “breaking up� the landscape is reflected not only in the landscape, where floating wetlands and an expanded waterfront enhance the recreational opportunities in the area, but within the architecture as well. It becomes a reflection of a community that engages itself between the architectural boundaries. The space between buildings is a landscape for those who just want to step outside to have a coffee and greet their neighbor. The Bellefonte Masterplan is what happens when you create opportunities in the landscape.

Energizing Philadelphia Semester
Fall 2014
Location
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia is a city of opportunities and energy. Before human settlement, The Delaware River Provided this energy in terms of ecology, and during the industrial revolution, it provided social and economic energy in terms of work. However, after barriers such as I-95 and the Northern Liberties superblocks were constructed, Philadelphia became fragmented. It lost the energy to have a powerful waterfront, as well as interconnected city. Energizing Philadelphia provides the solution. By reinvigorating the waterfront, we can start a chain reaction that sparks development throughout the rest of the city. After this, we can establish neighborhood identities through recreation and art. The final step is to bridge these elements together in the form of enhanced streetscapes. Philadelphia once drew energy from the mighty Delaware River, and it can do so again.

According to the Baltimore’s Green Pattern Book, the proposed site can be classified as a community managed open space, mixed greens area, and a neighborhood park, with various features that function as stormwater management. As part of our design, we have committed a significant portion of the site to an urban flower farm. As the plans show, this section of the park will be comprised of various plots where seasonal blooms will be harvested. The flowers grown in this section of the site will be sold to area florists for profit. It also includes additional plots that can serve as a place for various educational opportunities. Here there can be demonstrations and lessons given to community members and students who are interested in learning more about the process of urban farming.
