My main idea is to express the circulation and processing of visual materials, exposed through circulation routes that allow visitors to selectively navigate through these normally off-limit zones. The proposal also incorporates a connection to the Farmington canal greenway, facilitating a connection to temple street and sponsoring a new bike path to the center of the green. In massing, I used two rows of compact storage modules and a central access path stacking these to the six stories to continue the urban edge. Inserting a loading dock along the back edge to sponsor a processing/admin bar to frame a front lawn and respecting the suburban scale. The entry sequence for the public first involves the underground digital interface, a basement level connection with digital display screening the digital storage modules behind. The tunnel and street level paths parallel the processing facilities to the right and converge at the lobby, lodged in plain view of the loading dock. From this point, event and researcher paths break encountering a myriad of connections to the material of the archive and between users.

One of the last works designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1962, these two residential colleges have a rich history and architectural prominence. Built in the style of pre-Gothic Tuscan towers, the rubble masonry and lack of right angles form an amazing shell but with time the inside has worn and become outdated.
Program for the renovation includes an expanded servery, new kitchen, and a considerable amount of additional social and recreational space, now housed in the dark concrete quarters of the basement. As part of this intervention we sought to re-define the identity of the colleges especially in relation to each other. This was achieved in part through establishing a material language for layering new texture and linking to the addition. Part of the challenge was working a new cohesive flow into a very rigid existing structure. For the subterranean addition, we established battered walls and edge skylights within structural boxes aligned to the curving geometry of the two colleges.

INSTRUCTORS Stephen Harby, Alexander PurvesTOPIC analyzing the public space making techniques of Raguzzini and ValadierSITES Santa Maria della Pace, Piazza di St. Ignacio, Piazza del Popolo

11Forming the urban space as a three dimensional scene in relation to its place in the city and the buildings they look to aggrandize, I traced the connections between the reinventions of Santa Maria della Pace (1667), Piazza di St. Ignacio (1727) and Piazza del Popolo (1793). Even though they start with very different needs, all three use transforming ideas of framing and layering to create dynamic urban spaces. I analyzed these strategies of framing and layering in each and project, through approach, urban experience, and strategies of revealing. These projects show the progression of these ideas about urban experience through the Baroque, Roccoco, and Neoclassical periods, how each translated planes to theatricality.
This was a two week independent drawing project generated on site as part of a four week Rome drawing studio exploring continuity and change in the cities major architectural sites, topography, and systems of urban organization.

Santa Maria della Pace
1
In 1656-1667 Pope Alexander VII had the edifice restored by Pietro da Cortona, who also added the famous Baroque façade projecting from its concave wings: this, devised to simulate a theatrical set.
2
Raguzzini’s solution to relieving the small forecourt of St. Ignacio was “turning the visual angle around” transferring the emphasis from the church façade to the entire ensemble of buildings. By using overlapping ovals to create the concave facades and corners, the layering of buildings both extends the depth of the space and provides a layered backdrop for an even greater dramatic realization of the church façade.
3
Valadier’s connection up the hillside, linking with Pincio, the Pincian Hill of ancient Rome also provided a theatrical backdrop, resolving layers of access and views into a new access for the piazza. He also used a framing of palazzi that provide the edges for this scenography.

Making use of the visual and experiential effects of the moiré pattern, this project uses shifted programmatic grids to filter and connect Socrates Sculpture Park, the Long Island City Boathouse, and the greater Long Island City community. Maintaining the outer path following the edge of the East River and creating an urban street edge along Vernon Boulevard, the intervention connects both edges through a network of paths around the overlaps of three misaligned striations. These overlaps are composed according to external influences and become pavilions or enclosed spaces which at the speed of movement across the site create moirés intensified according to a catalog of speeds.

In relation to the constantly changing family size of the immigrants entering the neighborhood and church, this assemblage of units needed to address flexibility and community integration as its core. Through a similar operation of stacking and shifting the main living spaces along the south facade as well as interlocking the utility functions on the north, the units formed a network easily adaptable for hundreds of combinations. Working the assembly at both the urban and unit scale bringing unique intersection into the site and connecting across lots to the sponsoring church.

In our proposal, we developed a coupling mechanism that allows for dynamic cohabitation between the owner and the tenant. The tenant is treated as part of the utility of the house, along with the mechanical systems of the house. The two main construction systems are the SIP panels for the exterior envelope and conventional balloon framing for the inside structure. The SIP panels make up a neutral and systematic enclosure that is efficient in terms of thermal performance, construction labor management, and sequence/ease of assembly. The internal armature is a result of both the needs of the owner and the tenant, shaping spaces as a result of the clustering of program. In this framework, plug-in furniture allows for labor to be distributed across the team of interns for greater detailing through the span of construction. The shell or container system is more static and systematic; it responds to the local context and allows for the house to participate in the local condition or urban fabric. The internal system of construction on the other hand is active, made of multiple layers, adaptable and flexible per site condition and needs of the occupant. Both systems are replicable and have possibilities beyond this site while also interacting on the human scale to sponsor dynamic cohabitation.

METROPOLIS MAGAZINE BLOG POST, WEEK 11:A TAXONOMY OF DECISIONS...To me, the most interesting parts of the Yale Vlock Building Project are the interpersonal dynamics and the group process of determination. As one of two project managers, my role is to be a peer-organizing element and a conduit to Adam, our project coordinator. Conflict is inevitable when the varying passions and perspectives of 49 classmates intersect. Keeping a hand on the pulse of the class is essential to maintaining a positive and cohesive flow forward. ...Collaboration in this context isn’t cut-and-dry. An evolving part of the Building Project course is learning about team dynamics and project delivery. In my mind, this is crucial and a much under-engaged part of architecture: how the many parts of the process work together to achieve the best possible result. Compared to the typical scenario, the building project throws 90 percent out the window, because we all have to agree on what that window is—type, size, exterior color, and interior finish (and then agree on how to install it correctly)....Since the beginning of the project, people have been asking me, What makes your house unique? I struggle to answer them in one sentence, because it is both the concept and the people—and both are constantly evolving. It is the SIPs, the interior/exterior “Jimmy” concept, and the site responses from solar to programmatic organization. But more importantly it is the people and the process; that is what really makes this house unique. Decades of team training and group analysis could not solve the intricacies of this dynamic, but that is the fun of it. Collaborative design is an uneven process of decision making and discovery.

The Dequindre Cut is an abandoned rail line that was constructed below street level, becoming overgrown and derelict since its last train run in 1960. Running from the Eastern Market to the Detroit River, this one mile stretch is a neglected but vital space to the City of Detroit and has the potential to initiate and merge with a larger system of greenways.
This project addresses how architecture can engage and compose the temporal; how it can become a scape in itself, an experiential progression that links the city and the cut. It addresses the blurring distinction between nature and artifice, especially how human and artificial cycles interact, converge, and conflate natural cycles for a better understanding of the other.
Working in a cross-grain motion to connect the current figures and voids, the project became a projective urbanism. It is a context sensitive yet flexible typology that can continue beyond the limits of the site, accommodating the growth and needs of the Greening of Detroit. Three main building/bridges and three land transformations were defined. This typology mixes and changes size to fit the context, growing and reshaping with time, developing and integrating across, along, and around.

A major competition win for the firm, this massive building required a rigorous study involving the program, site, and sustainability. The floor area of four standard big box stores, the building has potential to redefine the University of Calgary campus. The main design concept was to use the building as landscape in shaping new interdisciplinary connections and a strong campus grain.
I was an integral part of shaping the contextual strategy and building massing working directly with James Timberlake to create massing proposals, reshaping, refining, and re-rendering in a continuous iterative process. The site that I studied had two main proposals, the early version bridging across 32nd Avenue toward the research campus, and a later version defining a new edge along the road and connections into campus.

MEDIAN COMPOSTINGFifth Semester Graduate Elective, Fall 2010
West Campus’s business park roots from Pfizer Pharmaceutical leave it with an abundance of parking spaces, intensive landscaping, and oversized loading docks. Under Yale University’s ownership and growing population there is a growing amount of horticultural waste from landscape maintenance, paper waste from office buildings, and vegetable waste from conference events and the cafeteria. To address this demand, our proposal is to reconfigure the flows internally and use existing parking lot medians as sheet composting sites and constructed wetlands. The system is a mix of waste management and water quality management through a designed experiment. With a potential for 21 cells utilizing existing gradation we plan to test the impact of composting mix on water quality and balance this by treating the nutrient rich water. The entire system will function to process the waste streams of West Campus on-site with little environmental impact while producing compost for use on-site or sale. It will also serve as an adaptive management tool that will help manage waste streams on West Campus.

ASSIMILATINGCONSUMPTION
Through hybridizing formal and informal activities based around infrastructure, this project cultivates locally based production and consumption patterns. Reacting to the upward trend of the savings percentage, the shift from rural to urban, and the explosive increase in connectivity, the proposal boosts assimilation through business development and uses embedded and interactive technologies to support access and collaboration. The imperfect intersection of Shanghai’s new Line 10 subway provides an opportunity to link the Baoshan Road station with its used/fake electronics market with the North Sichuan Road station and its growing podium blocks. Through a new “superstructure” of bike and walking paths, branches activate the street edges, occupy the vacant upper podium spaces through open-air markets, and connect to a series of modified lilong blocks. These blocks consist of pass-through commercial spaces on the ground level with anchor stores defining end points. A ramp leads to the second level of shophouses which provide adaptable live/work space. Informal stalls are encouraged through street and ramp edge frameworks which unfold for shade and provide electricity and water connections. The steel structure of the prefabricated construction buildings remains under the elevated rail and along the subway line to provide adaptable communal spaces and daylight infrastructure in an engaging and productive means.
