The new College of Architecture and the Built Environment (C_ABE) building will provide Philadelphia University with a new College of Architecture building that is not only on the cutting edge of technology but also acts as a connective tissue between the campus and the surrounding communities, the old and the new, and the past and the future. With the addition of the new C_ABE building we hope to incorporate and focus on integrating the school of architecture into one centralized location, while encouraging a collaborative studio work and learning environment. This building will not only ref lect the sustainability aspects so heavily incorporated into our learning system but will show the spirit of Philadelphia University and its ongoing relationship with the nearby neighborhoods. The C_ABE building will become the newest architecture studio building in Philadelphia, and with that it is our responsibility to show how the future of architecture is unfolding. Philadelphia University will be pioneering the way for the future.

Belvedere noun \ˈbel-və-ˌdir\
An architectural structure, designed to command a view. Built in an elevated position to provide a view and capture daylight and fresh air, it has been used in Italy since the Renaissance, and often assumes the form of a loggia.

Existing Conditions
The total square feet of existing C_ABE spaces are 47,557 sq ft
C_ABE is currently occupying f ive of Philadelphia University’s campus buildings. Two are on main campus, the rest are on the Ravenhill side of campus. The buildings the College currently occupies were all conver ted from varying programs including a house, a library, and a gym. The new building will seek to unify all undergraduates and faculty members as well as give the College a central location on campus.

programming document
After considering the projected enrollment as well as the types of spaces required, a programming document was created totaling over 100,000 sf. This includes studios separated by year, faculty off ices, a cafe, model shop, classrooms, computer labs, critique spaces, photo lab and storage for students and faculty.

SITE ANALYSIS

Campus AnalysisIn order to determine an appropriate location for the new College, extensive analysis of the campus was conducted which looked at environmental, social and physical conditions. In the research, we discovered a need for a more succinct master plan of the campus buildings,’ functions which we decided to propose for the future.Ultimately, the underused area next to the Paley Design Center at the intersection of Philadelphia University drive and Henry Avenue was chosen as the site for the new College of Architecture. The site allows for the University to have a prominent urban street presence. Fur thermore, the users of the building will be oppor tune to the vast amounts of vegetation while still being connected to main campus

The placement of the building on an ar terial street like Henry Avenue meant that the impact of the street could not be ignored. Fur ther study was done to understand the impact the building would have on this segment of the Avenue and vice versa

Plan Developmenthotdesk studiofour joined studiosthree joined studios
In developing the plan, we decided that creating standard modules for the studio bar would be best. As we evolved the plan, we wouldn’t have to redesign the studio components, we could just modify the arrangements.

Facade + ElevationEach elevation presented a unique challenge. The south had to address the various interior program as well as the views to the site. the nor th had to activate the street as well as respond to the interior conditions.

Studio + Faculty ElevationThe facades of the studio and faculty were primarily on the east and west facade so sun shading was the largest concern. We decided to use a double skin system with wood louvers on the east and west facade.

Systems + Structural ExpressionThe resolution for the structure was inspired by the abundance of trees on the site. The cantilever is suppor ted by tree like columns that are bundled in groups of three to f ive and extend as the go past the f loor plates. At each f loor plate, they are connected to the secondary structure. This structural system allowed for large open spaces, a necessity in the studios.

Systems + Sensoral ExperienceAs we were designing the facade, we also had to consider the impact our choices would have on the building’s system. We made decisions that would not compromise the design integrity but were also environmentally responsible.

Given the scale of the project, we focused on three impor tant moments in the design and decided to explore them fur ther. The f irst was the studio, then the classroom and lecture halls facing henry avenue. We felt it was important to resolve our street presence as well as the student experience.
