My design solution for revitalizing the Leegate center and the surrounding community began by defining and developing a healthy configuration of residential units. The residential units had to promote an inviting atmosphere for communal interaction and also create a sensory stimulating environment. The overall structure of the towers had to be permeable in order to allow light and air through the buildings, this would allow plants to grow in the incorporated green walls between each building and also the imbedded planters. Integrating green and communal spaces in between the buildings would promote a new healthy living experience for the resident and community.

The collaging process is a useful technique as a generative device for form and program. Several conceptual drawings by dan slavinsky [an artist and distinguished student of the bartlett school of architecture] were compiled as a way to begin the distribution of programic elements within a vertical condition [a tower]. Later, in the process of this studio, the development of
the vertical transitioned into the horizontal.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL
How do you distribute communial spaces within a vertical context? the concrete, steel,and plexi-glass concept model was the physical exploration in the application of communical intergration with a vertical structure. The model also served as an exercize in welding techniques and steel to concrete joinery.

The graphic design implementaion of this project was heavily inspired by J,P:A instrumental form, and their second book specifically El Segundo. Being intersted in their work for quite some time, in this project I attempt adopting certain techniques that resonate with me that I found in these books. Ultimatley this influenced not only the graphic nature of the portfolio, but the language of the work as well. changing the original design strategy of the project.

The inital strategy for the development of the residential units was to implement a lost cost plan for low income residents. To merge into developing areas, instead of being pushed to the outskirts.

There’s a strong sense of community in Leegate, london. It was imperative that in constucting healthier urbanism this was the forfront of the my proposal for the new leegate city center, and will revolve around the principal of intergrating people of various economic statuses in a environmentally concious construction typology.

Communal artwalls have the capacity to bring people together, as it defines a place and establishes itself as an iconic element within its context. It serves as a place to assemble and dicuss ideas, trade and barter in periodic farmers markets or “charity stores�, but mostly to share. Graffiti is a democratic art form that gives back to the people and roots the place within its community at its core.

Thinking & Making The process of making; to me, is often misconstruded as the product of thought. We make assumptions. We make time. We make products. Intially this was my theory going into the project, however, this project developed in a way that showed it’s true narrative only until after stages were set, the lights went out and the play took form. It was the making that influenced the thinking, a loose and fluid process that was open ended, no intended direction. The work began with an investigation of an object I hold close to me with sentimental value. A golden brass fishing reel that served many hours in the open ocean under the brutal floridian sun I call home. During my investigating and disection of the reel, I found various narratives it posessed that were much richer stories than the ones I projected initially. You see, my projections were blinding the true narrative of the work that lied deep withing its core, begging to tell its painful story.

3 The beginning of the creative process for this model was focused on created a device that leaked ink into a plate of plexi glass. It was important that it leaked onto a filter that seemed to be it’s opposite in nature. This dicotomy interested me, and later became a stong narrative for me to experiment with.

It was a Tuesday I don’t know how many ducks there were, Maybe 20? 25? I’m too impatient to count. Besides, the view was too beautiful and stole my attention. I wonder how many people were also watching. The wind gently swayed the trees and rippled the surface of the pond. A few leaves gave way to join the others that were colorfully scattered across the grass. Films of light laid quietly across the water. I knew my time there was drawing near by the dwindling sunset. There were few people there that day. A man and a woman standing on bridge watching the Two girls in conversation, sitting across the bank of the pond. Bushes became coverage from the outside world and the sound of fountains masking confessions, or whatever it was. The street lamps turned on. I am curious though, what could possibly be so important? What topic could be more captivating than this scene before me? They’re leaving now. I’ll never know. I hope it was important.

DESIGNING FOR YARUQUI A CITY WITHIN A PARK The goal of our project is to develop a plan for the city of Yaruqui, Ecuador that provides a sustainable way of living and higher quality of life for the residents. Our intention is to blur the lines between nature and the built enviroment while defining a clear and organized pattern for ubran growth. This will ultimately be why Yaruqui will become a special place for locals and vistors alike. We see Yaruqui becoming a city with in a park, emphasizing the relationship between the people and the land they reside in. Our design process relies heavily on understanding citizens wants and needs, the realtionship between public and private spaces, all while working at varying scales.

The Nodes. The “nodes” found in our salvaged mechanics model represent a loose idea of where our initial concepts of transforming Yaruqui would take place. These became primary places of interest for various reasons, but mainly that our team felt there was an already establish connection from the people that live there to the programtic function of the location. Certain zones made sense to be placed where they were and we felt it was important to revitalize certain areas raher than begin a completely new development.

WAT E R F R O N T D I S T R I CT This district is the gateway between city and nature. Outdoor ammenities offered by the natural preserve are complimented by activities held in the waterfront plaza. This area serves both retail shoppers as well as hikers and bicyclists. Multiple activities are offered in the same location, from meeting friends for brunch, to kayaking the local reservoir. This district serves as a scenic backdrop to the local community while generating value to the surrounding real-estate, and a higher quality of life for the residents.
This model is an excercise to articulate the scale of the city blocks in relation to the scale of the buildings and the public spaces between. The waterfront retail space becomes and important emphasis seen in this itteration.

1”=100’ Site Model This model is a first pass at articulating all of the key concepts of our design; Green Corridors, Public Plazas, and Pedestrian Promenad. The Green Corridor wraps around the city, including a reservoir providing hydroelectric power, clean drinking water, and recreational ammenities. The public Plazas become nuclei for high density urban growth to occur. The Pedestrian Promenad acts as an armature connecting the Public Plazas with the Green Corridor

The intention behind this model is to further develop the architectural language established in the Elevation Relief Studies. This model brings a greater sense of detail to the block organization, and the relationship between the streets, buildings, and varying levels of living spaces. The main purpose of this excercise is to express the intended texture of the architecture to be established in Yaruqui. They allow us to understand how our design would be implemented along a major street in our development. We’ve created a light mass transit system to facilitate commuters from neighboring towns and cities. We’ve also focused on creating lively communal places in between our new design and important existing buildings in order to promote a fluid architectural integration.

This is a new plaza that will be located just off the main boulevard which was once the E-35 highway route. This plaza sits adjacent to the new transportation hub, which is serviced by local trolleys, and a regional monorail. Street life includes ground level cafes and retail, while the upper levels consist of high density housing. Currently this area is undeveloped, which means it offers the most opportunity for new development without displacing current residents.

3”/16’ Elevation Relief Study This excercise allowed us to develop an architectural language creating zones of tansition from life on the street to life in the buildings. A key element of the excersie was to express how the architecture relates the ground, mid-building, and sky. Each zone maintains uniqe characteristics in the way they relate to each other as well as their relation to the street. The elevation models are showing three different densities that we developed in our previous models and they allow us to translate our architectural designs into an urban fabric. We captured elements of Yaruqui that was already present and felt was important to preserve as well as implement new designs to promote a healthier city.

MARIA The design of Marias house is what we are proposing as a new standard for housing in Yaruqui. The new fundamental principles for Marias house prioritize green space integration, fluid transitional spaces, infrastructural storage, energy efficient systems, and maximizing open spaces. These conditions will welcome many people from various economic standings that seek sustainable living.

TOKYO DESGNING AN INTERSTICE As the population increases exponentially, Japan is faced with the difficult challenge of creating new and inventive ways of occupying limited space. Consequently, Japanese architecture is unique in its unprecedented approach to accommodate large populations and make use of marginalized spaces that are often rejected by western culture. Interstices then become opportunities to define and layer space with multiple levels of functionality as opposed to ignoring crevices such as alleys and leaving it to its demise. One could say that modern day Japanese culture is due, in part, to the innovative multifaceted use of limited space as a solution to overpopulation.
01 The various objects thrown onto the table were used as a way to generate interstices, or the spaces between. We were instructed to diagram the spaces we found and began to extract all information that we found relevant.

As a generative device, I was assigned to lay out found objects and stage them intentionally on a flat surface. I then photographed the objects in plan-view and traced over the photograph to create an abstracted diagram based on the linear and spatial qualities of the found objects.

These negative spaces or interstices then translated into a series of section studies that further explored intervals of space and how these pauses between forms serve as platforms to forge new narratives. I then layered the individual section studies vertically on plexi-glass and studied how the arrangement of each section created new fragmented skeletal sectional qualities.

06 Each time I arranged the sections differently, the composition changed drastically, allowing me to examine how the different layers of the city affect real life sectional qualities. Layers such as underground transportation, street level automotive and pedestrian traffic, and buildings all influence what happens at the interstices when people come together.

MAPPING TOKYO The site chosen for this project was in the heart of Ebisu, a few blocks away from the train station. The surrouinding buildings of the developing area where my building would sit, tower over the space casting large shadows down into the space. There is something pleasant about the area being so closed in by tall building on the outskirts.

CONCEPT MODEL The concept model was a tool to establish a building language for my design proposal. I explored the ways program could be seperated and conected through wires, and thin structural elements. This building method evolved later in the process of with the comination of more diagrammatic exersices.

SECTION|PLAN The final diagram of the Ebisu area explores the proximity of main pedestrian routes and the empty lots that are nearby. This exploration helped me understand how people move throughout the spaces in the site, and how i could focus on capturing that movement in section form, similar to the previous exersizes. The section drawing was then fragmented nto program where each space was seperated by layers of transitions.

BOSTON HARBBOR The project is located on the boston harbor, off of Seaport Bboulevard and Atlantic Avenue. The existing site is currently home to the Boston Harbor hotel and several dining services on ground level that lookout to the connecting shipyard. The project for our advanced design course asked for us to build a series of towers that respected existing building heights and architectural typologies while also providing a new sense of place within our chosen site. Our team decided to design a complex of building that contained; a school, residential units, an office tower with a gallery and dining below, and a concert hall with a coroprate office above.

PROGRAMMATIC ANALYSIS The conceptual diagram is used as a method of inscribing program to a form and allow transitional zones to generate fuildly between spaces. the diagramatic collage illustrates the spatial qualities used in the featured boston located project. Some take inspiration from local programs we found to be popular within the city, and others developed ourselves as something new to bring to the table.

01 Merging residential program with an extention of the berkley school of music, our team aims at creating oppurtunites to allow residents to become engaged in the development of new music, and vise versa, allow music to touch the lives of the residents of the propsed building.

15 Iteration #2 is a reimagination of the office tower originally proposed for the advanced [B] summer studio. The new design engages the interior office spaces more thoughtfully in applying a more experiential sectional quality by allowing each office to aquire two floors of rental space.

Designing the building envelope became and outlet of form experimentation. Conceptually, the building was visualized as a glass pearl layered within an alumimnum paneled shell. Openings within the “shell� would become lightwells for the multi-story office building, allowing a dynamic range of light to produce a pleasurable working environment The building serves as a mixed use program for the first 3 levels, including; a gallery, cafe, restaurants, shops, and the office lobby.
