Building Section A B

Page 16: Thesis Book_Mark Riemitis_Part Two

Community Circulation Avenue Museums are designed to invite the public in to view art, allowing an intimate connection to the artist’s work and ideas. The public has a clear path to travel through as they pass from one exhibition and gallery space to another. Within the building I design, the public will view the design process by traveling through an avenue that slices into the studios and exhibition spaces. Having a straight path through will invite the community to experience the works of the MassArt students. Providing a vertical circulation node piercing the core of the building will engage the interest of the public as it is offered a unique and dynamic view of designers at work. The community avenue will act as access the makings of art, but also functions as structural reinforcement braced to hold the hanging studio spaces projecting out from the central artery of the building. As the public and community pass through the circulation core, they ultimately reach the peak of the tower, landing at a café and lounge overlooking the urban neighborhood. Despite the transparency of the spaces along the walkway, the public will flow past the activity of the studios without disturbing the users. When the function within the studio requires privacy, visibility and noise from the circulation avenue can be blocked temporarily by means of moveable walls. The flexibility of the studio and transparency of the circulation walk will bring benefit to the students as well as to the public and community. The central artery will provide way-finding through the building as the spaces branch off the avenue. The main circulation core will be equipped with a grand stair elevating to each level while overlooking the double-elevation spaces, as well as into the studios. Notched into one side of the grand stair is a high speed elevator wrapped in glazing, opening views

into the mechanical systems, structural components, and multiple angles of the surrounding spaces. The avenue will have a surrounding arrangement of circulation, gathering, and rest areas created to provide a flow of pedestrians through the graduate studios.

Adaptable Studio

Each artist has a preference as to how his or her own workspace is arranged. When space limits layout possibilities, it also hinders the potential flexibility to adapt to different tasks. Having a studio space that adapts to multiple functions will make working fluent and instill efficient work habits. Instead of wasting time traveling to another area, the space could transform to fulfill the needs of the artist and designer. Within an open space, the student will be given a set of parts that can be installed in workspace so that it can be arranged exact. The parts will consist of sections of desk, slatted wall for hanging extensions, shelving, chairs, and toolbox. The desk will build into a number of formations to tailor to the artist’s needs. The wooden slatted wall would be framed within the column grid. Locking the walls in place, or removing them, could create larger space for presentations or smaller intimate space for desk critiques. The hanging extensions will consist of pin-up walls, lighting fixtures, bookshelves, tool supplies, computer stands, model displays, material storage, and other hanging objects. Shelving can be placed in between the slatted walls, hung from wall, or latched onto the desk. The chairs will be adjustable to fit different heights and comfort levels. The toolbox will fit in between the dividers of space or underneath the desk. The toolbox will be set on wheels for easy movement and rearrangement. Within the designated gathering/presentation space, the walls will have separations so that the space will appear more open. Within the separations, a temporary wall will slide from the ceiling to close off the space from sound and direct views. The ability to alter the layout and dimension of the studios to accommodate different functions and occupancies will assure that space is not being wasted.

1. Personal workspace

104

The personal workspace can be transformed into different configurations based on the desired function of the student. The tables, shelving, and pin-up walls can be re-arranged for different layouts appropriate to the program.

The Gallery space can be constructed by clearing the floor and hanging the moveable partition walls on the horizontal slats. Track lighting and art work will be hung on the walls creating a functioning exhibition space.

The Lounge space can be constructed by clearing the floor and replace the desks and studio materials with couches, chairs, coffee tables, and entertainment systems. This space will be a great way for the students and faculty to gather and interact within the studios in a comfortbale atmosphere. 105

Lecture Series/Visiting Artists/After School Programs

MassArt has active programs for lecture series, visiting artists, and after school programs for the local youth. Within the new graduate studio building there will be an assembly space large enough for large venues and designed to engage the public to bring in more guests. Having a connection to the street edge will promote interest within the general public and neighboring design schools. As at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, the lectures will be an event shared with the people of Boston in addition the MassArt community. The Art Education and Continuing Education programs that work with the local children, will have a large, functioning classrooms to facilitate diverse activities. Providing these kind of spaces for those programs is important in order to create opportunity for less privileged and under-served children to learn and make art. The new space aims to involve graduate students as volunteers who would share and teach their skills to local children and other members of the community. Creative engagement and the exchange of ideas do not have an age limit. A broader approach to the teaching of art and design, as well as learning, follows MassArt’s original vision. Developing a relationship between the graduate students and younger art students is critical to the public mission of this building. The Studios at MassArt building has these elements to invite the public and to adapt to the visiting artist’s needs such as: 1. Large Assembly space open to ground level 2. Views from the street edge 3. Advertisement for lectures to bring in local institutes 4. Views from upper studios 5. Proper seating, lighting, and audio equipment 6. Gallery space adjacent to lecture hall 7. Cafe for intermission and time between events

Main Entry

The entrance to a civic building should display a clear but intriguing gesture in order to invite its users and welcome the community. Sweeping across a high pedestrian path beside Huntington Avenue, the front entry can act as a meeting place as well as direct the lane of circulation. To create place, the entry will provide shelter from weather and drape shade. Overhangs, awnings, and cantilevers construct enclosure blocking from sun, wind, rain, and snow, dropping at any moment within the northeastern climate. Being protected will give an area for people to gather, smoke, or relax without blocking entry into the building. Seating will also draw in crowds of college students to hang out along the pedestrian’s route. Within my building design, the elevated metal shop hangs over the tucked entryway. The extruded volume containing the architecture studios will showcase students busy constructing models and producing drawings. Creating action as well as shelter will attract the public and students to fill up the street corner. Suspended along the perimeter of the studios is the circulation avenue. Overlooking the shops and the entrance, the space will showcase students’ work from the viewpoints of ground level or up close along the avenue. This way-finding is an important factor in the success of the entry and lobby. Adjacent to the front door, signage indicating building type and purpose should be revealed in the architecture. For this new graduate building for MassArt, prominent banners with the school emblems will claim territory in the dense college neighborhood, boosting the recognition of the college and offering guidance to its guests encountering the building. As users move confidentially through the entry, the public will be intrigued to follow. When entering the graduate studios, the user will pour into a larger open lobby space. Within this space,

views of the sunken wood shop, lofted studio spaces, and suspended gallery spaces appear. The internal spectacle of the movement of students and visitors will illuminate the lobby, penetrating to the outside. Large events such as the thesis show can be advertised all over the lobby and displayed within the shifted gallery spaces. Layering these frames of space will open up the curtain of the design process and participants of the school.

Natural Light

The presence of abundant natural light in most of the spaces will bring energy to the students, faculty, and visitors. When surrounded by a multi-story building on all sides, absorbing natural light becomes challenging. Sun studies will dictate the orientation of the glazing and placement of shading devices. Elements that control solar heat gain are overhangs, horizontal/vertical louvers, fenestration, trees, screens, and tinted glass. Bringing streams of light into the exhibition spaces, gathering areas, studios, and green spaces attracts people but also save on energy consumption. Having an open plan will allow the sunlight to travel further into the structure. Orienting the spaces toward the south will bring in beneficial sunlight during the summer and warmth during the winter months. The use of color has an effect on how the sun penetrates the envelope of a building. To absorb and distract the sun from the building, the designer will use black and dark colors on materials. The application of white and light colors helps reflect the light. The use of materials will also be a factor in the direction of the natural light. Certain materials such as metal retain heat and reflect light. Overuse of metal could create a glare into the building or refracted to an adjacent building. Concrete acts as a thermal mass so it absorbs the heat but does not bounce the light to the spaces within. Spaces can become dark and dreary with the overuse of concrete and masonry. Wood does not retain heat and also does not reflect light. When wood is used properly, it can control light nicely without creating glares and blocking all the light. When combining these materials, the building can work to benefit from the properties and neutralize their flaws.

Gathering Stair Landing

The main stair will be the center gathering area for the building. It is a place where small groups to larger shows can take place viewed from the upper and lower levels. The stair landing is extended out to create a space designed to hold presentations and critiques for all the graduate programs at MassArt. Starting at the ground level of the first flight of stairs, the landing projects out thirty feet, overlooking the lobby and hovering over the gallery space below. The two longer ends of the landing will have partition walls positioned for pin-up space and a place for people to congregate around the presenters. The end of the landing faces the open glazed curtain wall, to bring natural light into the open space. As the stair rises to the second level, the landing steps back ten feet to create views to the lower gallery spaces. As the stairs move up to the third floor, the landings become smaller and more intimate. The landing then acts as a observing balcony and hang out spot, inviting a glimpse of the open core and framed studio spaces. The gathering stair will be used by MassArt students and faculty as a functioning presentation space, but can also be an access path for the community to move through the building. The studios, shops, and classrooms overlook the gathering landing, acting as a centerpiece for users and visitors moving along. The stair acts as a main circulation path, where people will unexpectedly bump

into each other as they gather and interact. The structure will be comprised of concrete slabs and thin concrete columns reinforced with haunches to make the stair rigid. The treads will be made of sheet metal ribboned to eliminate the need for stringers. This allows for the treads and risers to appear weightless. On the surface of the treads will be wood to add softness to each step. The railings will be constructed of terra-cotta aluminum slats. The material is also used as louvers along the exterior envelope of the building. The light tone of brown in the wood and aluminum louvers is also expressed on the other details within the structure. The central stair will be a conduit for the community to pass through the building, as well as a space for students and faculty to gather as they discuss art and design. As the user moves vertically up the gathering stair, the circulation avenue shifts towards the front of the building and the dramatic view looking out over Huntington Avenue. The stairs climbing to the upper levels float over the street edge and open views of the urban skyline of the Fenway area. As the users experience the building and its form, they can also see the students’ work displayed along the walls and ceiling of the space. Galleries and common areas are hard to come by, and the gathering stair landing provides these important programmatic elements for the school. The students and faculty will have more options for space selection when the school becomes busy during final week.

Connecting to the rest of MassArt

Designing a separate graduate building potentially creates a break with the college as a whole if there is no coherent connection to it. Currently, the graduate studios are located on a different level than those of the undergraduates, though the two groups still share the same building and most of the facilities. In their first year, graduate students take introductory courses with undergraduates becoming part of the larger studio community at the college. This set-up allows for a broader range of feedback and constructive criticism during presentations and class time. This also opens up the opportunity for collaborative projects and interaction between the undergraduate and graduate programs. As graduate students continue into their second year, they do not have class with the undergraduates and interact solely their classmates. As time passes, connection and interaction with the undergraduates slowly diminishes. For the most part, graduate students would not interact with MassArt undergraduates in other majors. Sharing a building does not always encourage communication because most students stay within their own studio and never cross paths with other programs and undergraduates. Constructing a building for graduate studios will open up the possibility for creative interaction between graduate students and undergraduates, as well as the rest of the school, filling the major void existing now. MassArt is currently missing specific community spaces that bring students together on a regular basis. A student center will provide a hub for all MassArt students and faculty. To join together and share ideas as they formulate relationships would most likely not occur in the existing buildings at MassArt. Currently there is a student center, but it is

not utilized in any great measure and does not give students a reason to leave their work spaces. The student center now feels like an enlarged hallway with some couches and chairs. To draw students away from their studios and collect within a community lounge, there must be adjacent spaces around the student center to keep people from leaving. The student center must be in the middle of all the action and should feel lively at all times. The student center should be near a café, library, or studios to give quick access to these spaces, where students can take a break from their work and relax, but not waste time traveling across campus. An assembly space is also a community space that brings the school together for events and lectures. The existing assembly hall at MassArt is outdated and most lectures are held in other spaces that may be too small for larger venues. To overcome the constraints of the old assembly space the school has tried to adapt other spaces on campus to replace the dysfunctional available area. Currently, these spaces are not big enough, which leads to crowding and discomfort for the users and presenters. A successful assembly space should provide enough room for large and small groups, fitted with the latest visual and audio equipment, and possesses good acoustics, comfortable seating, and multiple views for the audience and passing public.
