SUPERMARKET, Chicago, IL Concept Statement The focus of the Comprehensive Architectural Studio was to bring a greater degree of technical clarity to a design studio project than in previous semesters. The project was completed with a partner to accomodate the greater scope of work. The program for this studio was a supermarket located on Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, IL. Preliminary analysis including sun studies, climate and transportation research led to the placement of the building on the site. The project was conceived as two intersecting structures supported and bound together by glazed verendeel trusses. The trusses act simultaneously as structure, skylight, window and entrance and they vary in width according to their respective role. The roofs of the two structures are pitched to the north and to the south to accomodate indirect sunlight in the one and direct sunlight in the other. The organization of the products within reflects the need for each type of light. On the eastern, lakeside face of the building is a stepped, outdoor terrace for a farmer s market. Parking for the supermarket is provided beneath the site. The project proposes geothermal wells for heating and cooling and an underfloor ventilation system. Mechanical equipment and ducts were sized according to an analysis of the supermarket s needs. The building s structure was designed, typical steel members were sized and typical construction details were drawn. Spring 2006 CAP Studio Critic - Stephanie Bayard

CULTURAL COLLISION NODE, Los Angeles, CA Concept Statement The primary goal of this project is the realization of a centralized node of cultural activity in an otherwise linear commercial organization - Wilshire Boulevard. An additional consideration is the general lack of public green space in the city. The various programs are organized about the site as autonomous encapsulated spaces and pedestrian circulation in the remaining space is unrestricted. This encapsulation is evidenced in the materiality of the buildings as well as in the distribution of program in the spaces. The roof is conceptualized as a new datum - a continuous form that covers every building below - and is treated as a second if not primary public space, linked to the ground-level public space by two grand staircases and both residential and public elevator and stairway cores. A bridge over Wilshire Blvd which joins with the northern staircase to the roof provides a physical connection between the public space of Hancock Park and the new public-private space of the roofscape. In terms of program, the project is both dense and diverse: 80 residential units, 150 hotel rooms, a film center, a bookstore, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, a rooftop miniature golf course and gardens, retail space and underground parking.

CULTURAL COLLISION NODE, Los Angeles, CA Public Parking Hotel Parking Residential Parking Roof Scheme A collection of encapsulated activities are organized about the roof - seating beneath shade trees, a cafe, an open-air cinema affilliated with the film center, and semi-private gardens for residents and community members. A miniature golf course is also distributed throughout the space, providing a narrative path through the otherwise scattered activities. Sub-Level Plan Parking is accessible by vehicle through entrances on the east and west sides of the site. Hotel guests and residents are accomodated and there is some additional public parking for visitors to the site or to LACMA. Circulation cores bring residents, guests and visitors to the upper levels. A subterranean passage on the northwestern corner of the site provides additional access to LACMA.

The ground level pedestrian space is primarily given over to the commercial activities contained therein. Planters, seating, water features and sculptural works are distributed throughout.

CULTURAL COLLISION NODE, Los Angeles, CA Each group of residential units has access to a private rooftop courtyard below the fabric of the public roofscape. The bookstore and gallery also have similar rooftop spaces. The film center - in addition to its two interior screens - has an open-air theatre on the roof and an additional screening room in the interstitial zone between the roof superstructure above and the roof of the film center itself.

NEW URBAN LANDSCAPE, Brooklyn, NY Multiple Urban Dwelling The site to be chosen by each student should be an integral part of the contemporary urban fabric of NYC. It should present itself as a challenge for intervention and invention relating ot the Theme because it has resulted and therefore become available because of abandonment, conflict or degradation. The proposed site should exist within a clearly defined context. The context could be described as being part of a historic neighborhood block, having a socio-cultural history or specific architectural character, adjoining a significant urban open space or adjacent to an element of urban infrastructure. Program 4 dwelling units: single occupant two person (couple) occupant three person occupant four person (family) occupant To accomodate the following needs and spaces: Solitude, Preparation of food, Social Interaction, Rest and Intimacy, Care of the body, Access and archiving of information, knowledge and family/personal history, Threshold between the internal and external Spring 2005 Design Studio - Context Critic - Theo David
NEW URBAN LANDSCAPE, Brooklyn, NY Site The site chosen for the final project was a 200 by 300 foot lot in Brookln, Adjacent to McCarren Park in Williamsburg. Because of the lot s size, the project exceeded the original program, ultimately accomodating five sets of the original four-unit combination. One fortuitous and important feature of the site was its essentially unobstructed view of the Manhattan Skyline. The project attempts to capitalize on this view and make it accessible to every dwelling through the use of roof terraces on a tilted roof. Spring 2005 Design Studio - Context Critic - Theo David
NEW URBAN LANDSCAPE, Brooklyn, NY The site also served as a transitional point between historic neighborhoods - Williamsburg and Greenpoint - comprised primarily of four to five story residential buildings and was adjacent to a large public park. Thus the height of the project was constrained to 60 feet at its highest point so that the character of the neighborhood would be preserved, and also so that the new building would not obstruct the street-level view of Manhattan.

PIER 46, New York, NY Project Brief In the Final Design Project, I continued my exploration of the Adobe Illustrator Blend tool, adapting it to a new context - Pier 46 on Manhattan s West Side. The project was primarily concerned with engaging the computer as a tool to describe and define existing and projected site conditions. At Pier 46, I sought to reconcile the abstract, computational matrix of blended forms with a public promenade. The end product was a hybrid field of sculptural and potentially architectural forms overlayed on a boardwalk whose form was distorted by my conceptions of the site context. Though not the primary focus of the project, some thought was given to potential programmatic applicability of the matrix forms. Fall 2004 Design Studio Fundamentals Critic - Jason Vigneri-Beane

Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, NY Project Brief This initial design project was in part a tutorial on the Adobe Illustrator program and specifically an investigation of the representational and creative applications of the Blend tool. The site was a section - roughly 400 x 225 ft - of Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn. The computer software was used first as a representational tool to describe existing site conditions and then as a design tool to project changes to the site. I used the Blend tool to generate a Matrix of Spatial Potentialities - a field of spatial organizations arising from basic initial states. I then attempted to reconcile the abstract computer field with the pre-existing (though not naturally occuring) landscape of the park.

SOHO BOOKSTORE, New York, NY Undergraduate Project Overview This project is a design for a bookstore on LaGuardia Place just south of Washington Square Park in New York City. The store is intended to serve NYU and area design schools. The bookstore is on street level and had to accomodate display areas, an information desk, an employee breakroom, a small office for meetings, a cashier counter and a storage area. The design seeks to maximize display area, and to provide a variety of display types - wall shelving, low shelves and tables, and standing screens. The space is organized to orient the visitor towards the cashier and information desk. Some seating has also been provided for visitors. Spring 2004 Urban Environment Critic - Donna Goodman

SOHO RESIDENTIAL LOFT, New York, NY Undergraduate Program A large living and dining area A kitchen An artist's studio A master bedroom Two bathrooms A small office or guest bedroom Closets and storage space Client A young couple has decided to purchase and renovate a loft in Soho. The space that they have chosen is completely open, except for the basic elements of columns, windows and architectural details. The couple envisaged for this design project was a graphic designer who works from home and an architect who occasionally brings projects home from work. Thus, on the first floor a studio space was provided which doubled as a guest bedroom through the inclusion of a pullout couch. A small upstairs office for the architect was also included in the design. Parti The library represents the design concept of this space. The openness of the loft is exploited by the inclusion of two walls of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. In addition, shelves are included in the entrance area, opposite the large closet, and in the upstairs office space. The upstairs library is linked to the lower floor via the office window. The long wall of shelves in punctuated by windows, beneath which are window seats in four locations. The inherent openness of the loft space was preserved by using no more than 40% of the overall floor space for the second floor. Fall 2002 Architectural Design Critic - Donna Goodman

WARD WILLITS HOUSE ANALYSIS Undergraduate Parti Prairie Pinwheel / Cruciform Plane Emphasis on the Horizontal Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day s work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain. Frank Lloyd Wright Fall 2002 Architectural Design Critic - Donna Goodman
WARD WILLITS HOUSE ANALYSIS Undergraduate Movement circulates about the central fireplace, which has openings in the three major downstairs rooms: the livingroom, diningroom and the kitchen. Servants quarters are located in the back of the residence by the kitchen and pantry. A series of turns, staircases, and wooden screens leads along the major circulation line of sight into the next room, encouraging movement in that direction. The public/served portion of the Willits residence is located in the front half of the ground floor. The pantry and the kitchen serve as intermediary between the servant quarters and the public sphere of the house. Public Space Outdoor Space Major Circulation Path The second floor follows a similar zoning pattern. The childrens bedrooms are located at the rear of the house above the servants quarters. The remaining three large rooms on the second floor are adult bedrooms. The master bedroom is located directly above the livingroom, farthest from the childrens bedrooms.
