ProgramMixed Use Residential Tower

[ AT M O S P H E R I C C O N V E N T I O N ]

The Detroit Convention Center, known as the Cobo Center, exists as a formal and spatial exclusion from the city. The massive structure consumes multiple city blocks removing the user from any sense of their surroundings. However, the Cobo Center has an intricate relationship with the automo-tive industry in Detroit, an industry that provides economic support to the city and building alike. The failure of the automo-tive industry and its resulting evacuation of the city left behind a series of vacancies within the urban fabric. The cities economic decline and the collapse of industry leave the Cobo Center unoccupied and underused. As a standing reserve of unused space, the convention center holds similar atmospheric qualities to the other vacancies within the city. This thesis asserts atmospheric control as a means to renegotiate the boundary be-tween the Cobo Center and the city. Inherent

relationships are established between the spectacle of the auto show and atmospheric qualities used to showcase cars. The spec-tacle is made apparent through the varying control of atmospheres with distinctive re-lationships established between vacancies of the city fabric and the convention center, through atmospheric mappings. Further ex-amination of mediation takes place through the manipulation of enclosure on both inte-rior and exterior space allowing atmospheric qualities permeate the site, generating complex spatial relationships. Programmatic relationships are shaped by these conditions and form spatial intricacies through uncon-ventional means and atmospheric control. The programmatic shifts provide a mix of use and conditioning to allow for the continu-ous programming of the site. The boundary between building and city are blurred by the dispersion of the building’s enclosure and its

extension outward. Through these spatial suggestions the building becomes program-matically integrated to the urban fabric, while formally remaining an exception from the city through its perceived enclosure.

ProgramMixed Use Residential Tower

[ S PAT I A L PA C K I N G ]

Spatial Packing was undertaken as a gradu-ate comprehensive studio focused on mid-rise, mixed use housing in downtown Ann Arbor. The requirements were to provide varying sizes of units for mixed income fami-lies. The design addresses multiple site con-ditions and the demands and requirements of downtown conditions. The site was split into two buildings. A smaller low rise build-ing faced the adjacent library and residential housing with live work studios on the ground floor as well as other public amenities. The roof slopes to respond to sun angles, ideal views, and the change in surrounding build-ing elevations. The corner was emphasized by a large community space that connects the corridors and lobby space. The second of the buildings is a taller mid-rise tower that seeks to be a landmark building and place of destination. The floors are broken up into a series of community nodes providing double

height community spaces which vary in func-tion every four stories. The tower responds to the surrounding context in a similar way as the lower bar building, with regards to sun angles, views, and neighboring context. Connecting the two buildings is an exterior courtyard that is the main public catalyst for the project. The courtyard connects the pub-lic from the adjoining bus transit center. The courtyard acts to support the influx of people with a array of transit oriented commercial and retail amenities. The facade pushes and pulls of the building creating a dynamic ar-ray of units and balconies while responding to local climate and energy conditions. It em-ploys a series of screens and glazed panels that add to its dynamic nature.

[ Skin ]

Initial research lead to the development of a new building “skin” that responds and adapts to the exterior environment. The responsive factors based on site location and climate are humidity, temperature, percipitation, and wind. The skin will adapt to those exterior factors based on the perception of accept-able environmental quality. The adaptability to these factor results in a limitless number of possible facade conditions. The skin devel-opment also aims to respond to the presence of the interior user.

ProgramAdaptive Facade System

[ Focus ]

Building on the notion that indoor environ-mental quality is one of the most important aspects of design, the research engages cur-rent climate and atmospheric conditions at-tempting to manipulate or enhance how we perceive the indoor environment. Current building techniques are applied in a way that secludes us from experiencing these condi-tions while on the interior. The research and design strategies aim to develop a respon-sive system connecting the end-user with the exterior environment; a system that responds to and changes depending on exte-rior climate factors. The proposal speculates at the possibilities of harnessing climate conditions in a more productive means, go-ing beyond current applications for energy collection and generation.

and the rest of DC. The interior spaces gives way to the form creating the sense of the dy-namic movement present in the systems in-teracting with the building. It allows for the creating of both large open spaces and more enclosed intimate spaces. The design utilizes various sustainable strategies, specifically an operable louver systems, high-efficiency l.e.d. lighting, photovoltaics, integrated in-sulation, and sustainable m/e/p systems.

ProgramTransit Oriented DevelopmentMixed Use

UbranHUB involves the design and develop-ment of a transit oriented, mixed use center located in the Capitol Hill district of Wash-ington, DC. The hub is to support multiple modes of public transportation and the new-ly proposed street car network. The design aims to solve several architectural issues in a rundown neighborhood with emphasis being placed on the connection of the surrounding neighborhoods and the design of a strong public integration. Formally the building represents the multiple modes of transpor-tation while also using structural concrete to allow for less interior columns. The form sup-ports the concept of creating connections to the community, specifically Eastern Market and Barrack’s row. The building acts as a guiding force across Eastern Market allowing the axis of the building to draw people to the Transit Center, providing them with a means to connect to the neighboring communities

ProgramOpen Gallery Kindergarten

The project consisted of designing a small art kindergarten for approximately 20 children. The site was located in northwest Wash-ington, DC in a residential neighborhood. The design solution focused on the use of color and the relationship to its meaning and learning as well as the buildings inte-gration within the surrounding context. The form of the building was two-fold. I looked to mirror the form of the existing houses on the block, and use the function of space to create division; student classrooms and fac-ulty space. I utilized a strong central axis to create separation allowing for student class-rooms on one side with faculty spaces on the other, connected by an outdoor playground space and the lobby / display gallery. The outdoor playground space is centrally posi-tioned at the interior of the site to keep the school activity away from the edges of the site which had a high volume of street traf-

[ A R T I S T I C K I N D E R G A R T E N ]

fic. The playground space helped strengthen the formal division between “learning” space and “administration” space. On each side of playground there is an inner corridor with glass panels that have the ability to open to the outside allowing for the passage of air. The corridor acts to let indirect light into the working spaces. The colored glass panels on both sides of the corridor provide a contrast reaction of the senses while entering into the corridor and classroom at certain times, while at others reflecting into the exterior playground.

Proposed ClientNational Portrait Gallery

ProgramArtist Gallery + Exhibition Center

The project called for the design of an art-ist gallery acting as an extension of the National Gallery of Art. Located on Hain’s point peninsula in Washington, DC, the ex-tension consisted of the main gallery space, a bookstore, a cafe, a lobby, and various support spaces. The implemented design aims to take advantage of certain site con-ditions, most notebly, the views across the river, sun angles, and wind directions on the elongated site. The proposal accentu-ates the elongation of the site was through a continuing path that doubles as the corridor and circulation once it enters the building. The corridor also serves as athe connection point for the different programmatic func-tions of the gallery. The gallery, exhbition space, and private gardens are divided into both exterior and interior, branching off from the main circulation corridor. The corridor controls the outward views with the use of

[ E X H I B I T I O N PAV I L I O N ]

a wooden rain screen focusing the users at-tention on the artwork. The endpoint of the corridor opens up to a panoramic view look-ing back at Washington, DC and revealing the exterior. The corridor also serves as a division point, separating the gallery to the north for more ambient light, and the bookstore and cafe to the south for more direct light. The large solid, rain screen covered volume of the gallery acts to balance the adjacent cor-ridor and opposing glass facade of the lobby, bookstore, and cafe. Within the solid volume are narrow openings under the wooden skin, diffusing the light into the display space for the required ambient light needed to effec-tively display artwork.

ProgramPrefabricated Modular Dwelling Unit

EnviroNODE is the research + design of a 400sf sustainable, digitally prefabricated modular house. The project utilized digital design technologies, simulation and fabrica-tion technologies in its conception, analysis and construction. Central to the project is the concept of four investigative nodes; mass customization, compact/ hybrid space, sustainable technology, and innovative con-struction strategies. The concept of the node carried into the physical structure of the de-sign. The design used a prefabricated meth-od of assembly allowing for the creation of a set of components and program modules that can be plugged in and arranged in ac-cordance with certain site characteristics. The nodes translate into the interior func-tions of the space - kitchen, bath, sleeping, utility. Any given node can be activated at any time allowing for the user to define the allocation of a specific space or program. This

[ E N V I R O N O D E ]

allows for the maximization of space within the overall living space. The final design in-corporated all of the systems into the prefab-ricated assembly, generating an “off the grid” adaptable space.
