The concept for the arts and community

campus addition is to respect context.Derived by projecting the existing ordering

system onto a grid in plan and section, the

additions columns, glazing, & changes

in materials take shape while playful

manipulations in form and claddingsystems add daylighting and scalefullness

and suggest activity within.

The proposed design creates a campus

quad that focuses activity inward to the

courtyard while attracting pedestrians and

nearby residents with multiple indoor and

outdoor circulation paths.

proposed

solid circulation tower

glazed circulation corridor

public green/open space

The central library embraces Talbott Street,

an historic residential district, and faces the

courtyard to provide a transparency to the

interior activity as well as its accessibility to

the public.

The theater angles down toward the

smaller houses providing indirect north

light. A pronounced entrance into the

theater also funnels people into the social

gallery and caf.

Bordering the busier Pennsylvania Avenue

leading to downtown, the tallerrecreation

center features industrial sawtooth skylights

with exposed trusses and concrete panel

walls.

The gallery walk links all the spaces

together. Its semi-transparency draws

people through the spaces with views to

the street, courtyard and second oor

showing the inter-connectivity of the uses

and architectural character of each

building.

Art panels strung between angledcolumns are backlit by ambient daylighting

and face the coffee lounge area.

Intended to showcase student work,they bring down the scale of the double

height space and add interaction to the

circulation path.

daylighting:Clerestory windows and a skylightprovide diffuse light through a horizontalfrosted glass panel, similar to the (e)museum skylights. Elsewhere, glazing,angled roofs, and louvers bring ambientlighting to studios and larger spaces.

irrigation:Troughs carry water from rooftops tobe ltered & inltrated into terracedsite vegetation. They separate groundmaterials and are bridged by insetfrosted panels to bring awareness andexcitement to the irrigation process.

The rigid structural organization of the

library and quad is broken up with

an organic patterned facadecomposed of glass panels wrapped in a

perforated metal screen and patina metal

panels for shading. The tree symbolizes

the knowledge within the library and the

Because of little planning and denition

of public space, the orientation and

sponteneaity of growth of a favela form

an organic and irregular organizational

mesh with narrow, winding paths. The

solution required an idea that would bring

the community together to generateincome to maintain the roads, publicspaces, and city services while integrating

the villa into the formal city economically

and socially.

In the conceptual diagram nodes at

intersections of paths connect public

amenities and provide pointsof interest to encourage residents tointeract and discover other areas of their

community.

Dening spaces and experiences that

would improve the quality of life and

educate the people about the importance

of community space, sustainable methods

of construction, and sustainable strategies

will lead to greater responsibility and pride

for their buildings and integrated systems

as well as their greater role in society.

For a live/work studio in a space asconned as this street legal 8.5 wide x14 tall trailer, privacy with the ability toutilize nature as a living room will allowthe greatest exibility of use and comfort.Claiming outdoor space is vital for bothfunctionality and inspiration for the artistin addition to its mobility for tours or livingsimply off-the-grid.

The operability of the facade gives theartist control over daylighting, ventilation,and security. Double wooden slatted

screens are offset to allow diffuse lightwithout compromising privacy. The exteriorscreen also folds up as an awning andshading device while the interior screenand enclosure can remain open orclosed to the elements. The screens formoutdoor spaces for art displays when open,providing a transition between the smallinterior and vast landscape.

Oftentimes a picture exposes too

many details and loses the emotion

a sketch can portray. When you

sit to do a sketch, you take in the

people, the time lapse, and all the

dynamic elements that a camera

loses. Sketching is important to any

designer in order to communicate

a concept and truly capture the

essence of the place.
