MARTIAL ARTS CENTER Acknowledging the extreme rigidity of the site and the conceptual fluidity of the program, the center intends to break this rigidity. Through the breaking process, cracks appear, which is used to conceptualize the project as the cracks connect the diverse program. The building negotiates between two levels, one being Summer Street, the other West Service Road, 24â&#x20AC;&#x2122;-0â&#x20AC;? below Summer Street. Due to this the buildings program is organized to optimize usage on both streets and to provide the residences a private entrance on the lower half. The cafe is situated below in response to the cafe centric Congress Street. A notch is cut into the facade to further emphasize the diversity in the program unified by a a singular plane. The stepping gesture on the front facade accentuates the ramp within, foreshadowing the journey ahead. This also furthers to goals of depicting the diversity in the program. These long uninterrupted singular planes that make up the facade are in response the strong horizontal language present on Summer Street.

To mitigate between such a dichotomy of programs, one being martial arts and the other being yoga, a stepping gesture is given connected by a ramp, accentuated on the facade, leading up to the arena on the top floor.

This in turn leads to a journey one takes throughout the building. As one enters, the whole building doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t present itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self, immidetiley, the building becomes a heroic journey about discovery and the unfolding of layers.

MIT

NEXUS

The Volpe site is situated within Kendall Square, an up and coming part of Cambridge. My mas-

ter plan for the site enables it to act as the nexus of MIT and the city, sparking interaction and engagement, and helping to build connections between the public and the MIT community. This plan focuses on the design of a laboratory building adjacent to Binney Street and Loughrey Walk-

way, a very important edge on the north side of the site that provides a direct connection back to MIT, as well as being an active pathway within Kendall Square.

There is a permeation of public into private spaces in this building, making the private accessible without barriers to the flow of foot traffic in the space. The atrium fosters interaction and engage-

ment between workers and the public through a series of wide stairs with nooks where people may sit and talk. The labs are designed to be generic, because research is always changing, and

I expect flexibility to be vital to the success of the building. To this end, I investigated loose fit architecture and the separation of systems during the course of this design.

CULINARY

ARTS

The Culinary Arts School in Hingham, MA is a bold proposal as it floats over the wetlands with the help of space frame technology. My design studies for this building involved modeling the planes formed by the canopies of the trees on site, and using the voids between them to guide the placement of floors in the buildingwhich are not uniformly spaced, as is usual practice. One of the major voids was through the teaching labs module, where I placed a vertically-structured hydroponic farm. This placement allows students to easily step out of the kitchen and pick fresh produce at any time of the year. Lacking a roof, it also teaches the students what produce can be grown during different seasons. The organization of program was based on a narrative I developed for a day in the life of an average student at the school, and through a series of perspectives and models. I investigated the sequences between program and asked myself how to showcase the activity of what happens within the school and how that could influence the architecture, as in Bernard Tschumi’s philosophy. Drawing from Le Corbusier’s Carpenter Center at Harvard, I designed an orange path running through the first floor from the parking lot back to the main road, guiding the user seamlessly through. I extended this path through the other levels to serve the same function there.

RESEARCH AND DISPLAY CENTER

FOR EMERGING TECHNOLGIES

Wentworth has asked us to design a building that exhibits and exemplifies new advances in archi¬tectural technology and represents and showcases the school. The program calls for an auditori¬um, labs, leasable office spaces, and a cafe. The site for this building is located next to the Massachusetts Turnpike and the intersection of Boylston Street and Massachu¬setts Avenue. It was originally just a parking lot, but my design takes over Parcel 12 which has air rights that I employed to enable me to design a building spanning the highway. Because of this, it is technically a bridge, and so I designed it to take the form of one. Positioned here, this monolithic building makes a grand gesture and statement about Wentworth for those entering, exiting, or merely passing through Boston. While on site during analysis I noticed a lot of prevailing winds coming from all directions, and thought about what happens when wind hits a physical object. Inspired by the forms that rocks eroded by winds make in the desert, I metaphorically massed my building based on them. I also applied the concept of the wind revolving around a central object to the circulation, which wraps around and flows through the atrium. After laying out the spaces, I applied new technologies to en¬hance the design, an example of which is the custom shaped fins located to the right of this rendering, which not only shade the users from the sun, but also utilize turbine technology to generate electricity when wind hits them. This further enhances my concept by showcasing wind in a physical way.

URBAN HOUSING

FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS Building upon the idea of micro housing, this project focuses on small apartments to accommodate Millennial living on a minimal salary. Situated at the intersection of Ruggles and Parker Streets in Boston, the design process consisted of examining site forces and massing the building to respond to them. Thus, the building adds a Z component to the X, Y of the intersection and provides aggregated living units. Raising the building up from the ground also allowed for direct views to the Museum of Fine Arts from the street level, and created public space. This gesture also addressed the problem of high traffic noise. The units stagger diagonally and are offset from each other to create an outdoor space for each resident. The building appears to be lightweight and floats seamlessly due to the complex structural truss system which is aggregated at the back of the building. Two towers are strategically placed rising from street level to bring each resident up to his respective unit. These towers also hold laundry and mechanical rooms.

The Tiny house makes the most out of less with fold away tables and beds, and pitching the roof up creates an opportunity for a double height space. This allowed for the illusion of a bigger space. Utilizing the latest in technology the house can be utilized off grid with solar panels on top and water collection system.

BAMBOO BALI STUDIO FOR MY M. Arch Travel Studio, I had an opportunity to go to Bali, Indonesia to learn about Bamboo and the culture there and bring back lessons learned to fully assembly a bamboo pavilion on campus to promote the material in the States. Working with the bamboo helped understand the material properties of Bamboo and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capabilities as well as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flaws. The project was a success overall and the pavilions were built off-site and brought to the site. This was key to the overall project as I specified that our built project be re-deployable and can be taken down and put back up anywhere. This project would not be possible without: + FreddyPendleton, + Aline Antunes, + Kylie Barnes, + Ben Lauzier, + Kyle Ozycz, + Vrajesh Patel, + Kevin Roche, + Collin Sabin, + Danielle Sukovich

My task included creating a digital model and to simulate a sushi mat folding within Rhino and using the plugin, Grasshopper 3D. The goal of the digital model was to simulate the twisting and folding of the physical sushi mat in begging design testing and form finding. Then needed to be advanced to be able to use in conjunction with the final physical model, to interpret, analyze and anticipate failures and the maximum amount of twisting when working in the field. Material properties and structural physics needed to be integrated to provide limits and boundaries for the model to simulate actual field conditions, real world properties, and applications for analysis. Each iteration of attempting to replicate the twisting and folding sushi mat was developed with McNeelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rhinoceros 3DÂŽ software and their extension, Grasshopper 3D used for parametric scripting, To advance the model, Kangaroo was used as an add on for Grashopper to simulate physics of the mat.
