ENTRANCE

Developed for a HfH site in Springfield, Ohio, this project is a prototype for affordable housing. Shipping containers have been utilized as a compressive element, into which necessary systems and circulation have been packed. Boxes, their elemental counterparts, are flexible expansive spaces into which the containers open.

We propose that an international graffiti and mural arts competition be held in conjuction with the construction of a series of bendBOX homes throughout Springfield. Not only would each home be enriched this public art project would act as a catalyst in Springfield, bringing positive regional and international attention to this rust belt city.

CHILDREN’S ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITY CENTERSYRACUSE NY 2011

This project explores the relationship between the larger community and a subset of it in order to addesses their differing needs.

This is done by three primary means:

APPROACH FROM BUS STOP

Location of site

The site was chosen to maximize access from the surrounding community. Analysis revealed a convergence of bus routes in proximity to the site (further analysis revealed that a new bus terminal was soon to begin construction). The further presence of the train line provides opportunity for expansion of access.

Creation of program on the ground plane

The center is a place to go, not just to go through. This encour-ages further activity surrounding the site.

Interiority of the daycare

A daycare creates a smaller community out of the larger. This project creates an environment for that community to inhabit. The inward focus and variation of indoor/outdoor and compres-sion/release both nurtures and encourages exploration. The designed programmatic flexibilty of the environment allows for and encourages change and development.

PRIVATE

PUBLIC

OCCUPIABLEOUTDOOR SPACE

The project lays claim to the axial lot that runs from the new bus terminal to the rail line and creek. The project advocates the creation of a light rail/amtrak stop to the west of the site, connecting local and regional transportation.

The raised bar that contains the bulk of the program maintains the ground plane and con-nection between the bus station rail center, as well as to local housing and to the Onondaga Creekwalk.

Public programming has been added to the underbelly of the bar, establishing a magnet of activity within the surrounding community. The underbelly provides both fixed programming and flexible community space. The incorporation of a climate controlled farmer’s and art market serves both families of the child care facility, the local community, and the greater Syracuse community by way of the transit station. While the underbelly expands to the greater community, the bar above has an inward central focus, to provide a varied environment for children that can establish a sense of commu-nity for the children and families and staff that populate the center.

The overlapping openings in the bar provide both light, air, and inhabitable outdoor space, while serving as a magnet of activity. Flexible activity space surrounds the openings.TRAIN LINE

The project was further explored using Maxscript, wire parameters, and solar analysis in 3DS Max.

The project required contraction in the upper bar and expansion on the ground plane. Openings in the bar provide a central focus as well as serving as a source of light and air into the interior. Shade analysis was used to find the best arrangement of these openings.

I sought to maintain the mass of the exterior of the bar, while allowing light into the far reaches. Wire parameters were used with multiple control points to limit light based on program. Laser cutting was used to test the resutant opening pattern. While developing this patterning a further innovation was to extend the patterning outward. On the side facing the bus station the openings go inward. The other sides extend to the surrounding neighborhoods.

ONONDAGA CONCERT HALLSYRACUSE NY 2011

By engaging the dual barrier condition that exists on the site between Armory Square and the Near Westside this project creates a shared public space that belongs to neither. This is done by bringing the ground plane of the existing “island” of space down to the level of Onondaga Creek, which is currently serving as a barrier. This allows for reformation of the railroad berm, opening up the newly created creek engagement - and the Near Westside - to Armory Square.

The project is anchored into the railroad berm by pulling the structure of the project into the berm. The primary structure houses a concert hall. Spanning from the railroad berm over the creek the concert hall acts as an additional barrier that has been engaged by the site in the form of the extension of the Onandaga Creekwalk and passage to what will remain of the parking on site. The form of the concert hall continues the multiplicity of existing and created ground planes. The plane of the top of the railroad berm is pulled down to hover over the creek, providing an outdoor public concert stage and gathering space.

The Onondaga Concert Hall was projectively developed utilizing topography optimization software of Dr. Jamie Guest of Johns Hopkins University. A section was op-timized based on load and boundary conditions (with member size then computed with SAP2000) to create architecture of a different scale: playground equipment.

SYRACUSE NY 2010

Through material and formal analysis of the existing site condition a framework of delaminated planes was produced. This became a created ruin of the site. Into this ruin boxes of overlapping program areas were placed.

This process built upon a more abstract exploration into the nature of “wall” and “box.” From that exploration a process of deriving a jig with which to design around was devised.

In the Armory Square Artspace the use of the jig partnered with the sentiment of Enric Miralles:

“With respect to the place, one must first discover the lines it contains and make them visible... to produce documents that make the different overlapping periods of a place explicit, by making use of its ruins.”

INDIA 2011

EXTERIOR STEP TYPOLOGIESSURROUNDING THE STEPWELLS OF RAJASTAN AND GUJARAT

This study is a preliminary classification of step typologies in northwestern India in relation to four stepwells. India has been descibed as having the best and most varied resolution of the stair in the world. The stepwells studied, constructed between 1000 and 1700 AD, are excellent examples of this, as are the less monumental instances found in India’s streets. The study investigates the following questions:

Is there a correlation between the step type of a well and those that surround it?

Do the step typologies vary based on proximity to the well?

Are there regional typology variations?

Are variations based on differences in caste/occupation/religion/means of transportation?

Do the step variations have a pragmatic or symbolic basis?

Do the different types create/reflect program in the street? How do the different types affect the character of the street?

Where is the ownership threshold of each type? Does this vary regionally?

Loosely formed streets

Not many people observed on the street. Water gathering was primary purpose of those seen on street.

No markets present surrounding baori.

“Maintained” historic district. Layers of historic habita� on present. Baori appears, by way of construc� on technique and material, to be of same period as fortress walls, which pass ap-proximately 200 yards from the baori.

Buildings have been recently constructed in proximity to baori.

Amer is notable for number of temples present.

Inhabited primarily by government offi cials.

Amer Fort built between 1590 and 1614 by Raja Man Singh I.

Panna Meena Baori built circa 1600
