DRY DOCK #4 HOUSING /PUBLIC SPACE BOSTON, MA

This new innovation district is targeted towards young males and / or females. Whether fresh out of college, starting a family, or starting a new job, this is the place that these people desire to be. This district needs to have a life style where they can meet people, network, and make good friends. Work requires many of these young professionals to sometimes work late hours. At home, a place where they can do work is important. Dry dock #4 has been transformed into housing which accommodates the needs of these individuals, as well as, acting as a public space that gives back to Boston.

The design of the building started with taking the dock and pulling it off the water. Creating a rise in elevation provides views and a change in topography. This pull created a dock roughly five stories above sea level. This dock starts at ground level on the south end of the site and climbs up five stories at a 1 to 12 slope. It creates a great place for people to walk, run, and / or relax. The top of the dock has both a boardwalk and grassy area to accommodate these activities. It is a continuous loop around the whole top of both buildings on the site and creates a nice path of circulation.

It has housing nicely tucked underneath allowing that the pedestrian path to also be the roof of the housing. Each housing bar is broken by segments which creates a "knuckle" moment in the bars. This "knuckle" is where the vertical circulation

is located for the residents. The movements of the bar, each differing by floor, create a movement of the building which symbolizes the water and its movement. The units are broken up due to differing clientele . There is a

single bedroom unit, a double bedroom unit, and the 3 bedroom unit. These can accommodate either a single person a couple, friends, or a small starting family. Other rooms found scattered throughout the

buildings are work rooms that residence are able to access and use for work. These spaces also allow for areas in which business meetings can be held. The ground level has a few commercial spaces

that benefit the young worker. These places include a gym, a grocery story, a post office, a pharmacy, and cafe.

This building is for the young worker who wants to be in Boston but doesn't have the finances at the time. This building is a live / work building creating an environment

for young people.

HARKIN BOATING COMPANYINDUSTRIALDESIGN &BUILDING SYSTEMS BRISTOL, RI

This speculative assembly/office building is located on Ballou street and is in the industrial part of Bristol , RI.

This building's main program is to be home to the Harkin Boating Company who plans on running an office here, assembling parts, and shipping them out to clients. Due to the ever changing economy, the future of this building is never for sure. It is able to be changed and manipulated so that it can handle both expansion and program change. The areas in which it finds itself flexible to be able to accommodate these changes is in the structure, plan, section and the HVAC.

The building also accommodates to the workers providing views when necessary and a circulation which is most accommodating to them. It is purposely oriented to let in the best day lighting into the factory spaces. Harkin is top of the line when it comes to the boating industry. The aesthetic of the building must hold a high mark just as its owner does. The front of the building is purposelyeye catching, enticing and provides natural light throughtout the building.

The main intent of this building is to create an aesthetically pleasing, efficient,flexible, and reliable, building that can live up to the Harkin name.

URBAN DESIGN:THE SHAPING OFURBAN SPACES FLORENCE, ITALY

Urban design imposes new challenges of scale, site, and circulation.

The site was located in Florence Italy on the outskirts of the city center in the Sant Ambrogio area. The program was targeted to the locals, as it is a common area in their day to day use.

The new urban space created is composed of five differing programs all having to relate to one another. Each building created has the same language carried throughout. One specific building on this site was the antique market along the northern most edge of the site. The market being a place for both outdoor and indoor activity, it provides shel-ter to the people who occupy it while also providing an open market feel which is seen throughout Florence.

The market is to have operable doors so that they can move with air flow and circulation. It is a two story building with balconies and overhangs to provide an open feel.

The market is only one part of the five entities that "shape" this urban space. The market had to respond to each of the other building while also thinking about the urban qualities of the site.

The market creates an edge to the site and gives the piazza more of a defined space. Because of the defined edges, the circulation suggests that one would move towards the other newly constructed buildings. This provides the visitor with a complete experience of the space and not any individual building with different languages.

This project was proposed to this graduate studio by the town of Woonsocket. With support from the Roger Williams Community Partnership Center we were able to provide a realistic plan for the future of the town of Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

In small groups we were faced with the challenge of a historic river town in Rhode Island that has seen economic and social hardship. We were addressed with the task to revitalize the main street, provided that 6 existing sites be infilled with buildings that will promote change and make for an exciting place to be.

After extensive site analysis and precedent work we created a sustainable and green masterplan for Woonsocket.

Masterplan goals Create three distinct districts:• Arts district - north main street, engaging stadium theater & charter school• Commercial district - central main street• Historical district - south, engaging market square & museum of work and

culture

Create a pedestrian friendly environment:• Connect main street to river as well as higher elevations• Plant trees along main street & revitalize the green spaces• Widen the sidewalks in specific areas to generate exterior activity• Eliminate portions of on street parking

Infill vacant store fronts:• Programs more specifically for residents i.E. Small grocery store generating

economy for the main street area

Sufficient parking space:• Aim to add parking which has been removed through the design of new

infill sites• Create clear signage to inform visitors where parking is• Design vertical circulation from main street to parking on higher elevations

Create a sustainable main street:• Pv panels• Recycles building materials• Permeable surfaces (courtyards & parking)• Green roofs• Storm water runoff management - rain gardens

PARKING LOTS WILL BE DESIGNATED BY A SIGN THAT IS SHOWN ABOVE. THE UNIVERSAL PARKING SIGN WILL MAKE A CLEAR DISTINCTION OF WHAT LOTS ARE TO BE PARKED IN AND WHICH ARE PRI-VATE. IT WILL BE A SIGN PEOPLE KNOW TO LOOK FOR.

THE SIGN CAN ALSO BE USED ON THE SIDE OF BUILDING ALONG WITH AN ARROW TO BE ABLE TO POINT PEOPLE INT HE DIRECTION OF PARKING.

THE SIDE WALK WILL BE HAVE LEAFS PAINTED ON THE GROUND FROM THE STECIL WE HAVE PRO-VIDED. IT WILL LEAD PEOPLE ON MAIN STREET IN THE DIRECTION OF PARKING OR FROM PARKING TO MAIN STREET.

WOONSOCKET MASTERPLAN - PHASING

Prior to constructing new interventions on the six sites along Main Street, it is important to first occupy the store fronts which are currently vacant. We propose that these empty spaces be filled with program which includes storage space and rehearsal space for both the Stadium Theater and The Beacon Charter School, a homeless shelter, restaurants, and a more adequate grocery store. These functions will begin to better serve the people who live on or in close proximity to Main Street as well as people who are active in the arts. This phase will also begin to introduce green space onto Main St by planting trees that line each side of the road; this will create a green link that will connect the northern and southern portions of Main St through green space.

Source: Cecil Group Main Street Livability Study

The second part of the revitalization process will aim to make Main Street more easily accessible and welcoming in terms of exterior spaces. The green link connecting the north and south ends of Main Street will be completed through the planting of additional trees, landscaping major public nodes, and introducing green connections down to Truman Drive. Existing green spaces will be redesigned and proposed green spaces will be implemented in order to create welcoming and pleasant gathering spaces for pedestrians. Because parking in the area is an issue, signs indicating parking lot locations will be added to the area. The proposed bus stops will also be added along the street, giving visitors more flexibility in where they are picked up or dropped off.

This phase also includes the construction of the Woonsocket Information Center to provide residents and visitors insight into the changes happening on Main Street as well as begin to engage visitors into the life of Main Street, making them aware of activities and events in the area. This building will also act as a link from the large parking lots above, down to Main Street.

When we began to conceptualize our masterplan we thought to organize programatic intevention into three zones, moving from north to south, the arts, the informational and the historical. We believe that new interventions of these natures would compliment the existing fabric of Woonsocket’s Main Street. In phasing the project we first wanted to work “from the top down,“ beginning with the arts related buildings, then the informational, and finally the historic and cultural. Upon further investigation we devise the phasing plan below.

INFILL PROJECT: CENTERFOR INFORMATION & TOURISM WOONSOCKET,RI

The goal of the infill project was to find a program that will benefit the historic town of Woonsocket in both a respectful and inviting way.

The infill project sits in the middle of main street facing an existing green park. The site was originally a municipal parking lot as it is surrounded by commercial buildings. Located in the middle of the main street the site calls for a center for information and tourism. The current issue that Woonsocket faces is the lack of availability of knowledge about current activities in Woonsocket. This center will provide the location for visitors and residence to get informed.

The site currently has a "Keep Woonsocket Beautiful" mural. The center will integrate the mural into the exterior space. There will be both greenery and water in the exterior space to provide a peaceful environment off the street. This outdoor space will have tables and spaces to sit. It will be an enjoyable site for the main street and hopefully pull visitors into the building.

The center itself will house a cafe and reading space on the ground floor for people to come and enjoy. The second level will have exhibit space to serve the revitalization plan. It will be a place where people will be able to obtain knowledge of what is going on along main street and what phasing projects are being implemented. It can also provide a display for visiting artist, performer, and researchers along with other informative and exciting exhibitions.

The third floor will provide conference rooms and other community rooms which organizations will be able to rent out and have functions and/or meetings. It will provide a computer lab for public use.

The buildings facade wants to be modern as it should relate to the program that it houses. The building should respectfully celebrate main street’s historical neighboring buildings. The facade pulls the old brick into the new building and the new material compliments it.

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN: CENTER FOR ARCHEOLOGY MURCIA, SPAIN

Comprehensive design provides an opportunity to incorporate all of the material we have learned in our undergraduate into one design studio. This work intensive project allowed for extensive site research, conceptual framework, technical solutions, and schematic design.

Located in Murcia, Spain, the proposed building shares its site with San Esteban Iglesia, an old church that has been there for centuries. This site once a parking lot for the city, but has recently been uncovered to find ruins dating back to the islamic influence in Murcia. The site holds the challenge of having exposed ruins that cover the entire site. The design approach became an idea of leaving the ruins exposed and framing them to create an exhibit of their own.

The major feature of the building would be a pragmatic wall that would surround and enclose the site. This wall would be punctured with picture frame windows that looked only onto the ruins. The wall would house an open air ramp that varied in heights allowing the visitor to view the ruins at different levels. It will lead the visitor into the main entrance of the building where they would have the opportunity to explore the exhibit space along the ground level or descend a level into the semi private educational spaces.

The building would be constructed in a cortijo style which caters to the spanish feel that fits in the landscape. The facade would be a white azuljo material that resembled the ruins and allows for a sustainable cooling approach for this very hot climate. The building proposed questions whether the building was meant to be built upon ruins or if it was once a ruin itself. The two center courtyards provide for natural light along with the European feel. The idea of the wall is continued throughout the whole building raising the question of whether the wall is the building or the building was built into the wall.

The center for archeology has kept the historical past of the site in mind while creating a temporary feel. It provides a place for the ruin architecture to be displayed, along with exhibits in which the archeologist have created.

GRADUATE THESISRESEARCH

As the culmination project of the Masters of Architecture design studio sequence, the Graduate Thesis Research Seminar and Graduate Thesis Studio provide the framework for students to contemplate, research, develop and state a theoretical proposition of their own choosing, and to demonstrate their ability to translate this proposition into an architectural project by means of an in-depth architectural response to the set of ideas and concepts underlying their proposition. This thesis is an arena for exploring, testing and summing up ideals and skills developed through earlier coursework in architecture and the liberal arts. The Thesis sequence will en-compass multiple levels of exploration. As the first part of this two-part sequence, in the Seminar each student will investigate a number of practical, cultural, theoreti-cal and philosophical issues related to the making of architecture, and its placement within its contextual milieu.

What makes a table a table? The table is a surface, it is a plane. With this very thought, the options are endless. The table is about the solid vs. The void. Just because there is a void doesn't mean that the plane is no longer there.

The variations of wood type and grain enhance the long voids. This gives the illusion that the void could just be another piece of wood. These planes are three dimensional giving the legs of the table the same language as the table top.

With this design, the table of modernity is made.
