DESIGNCENTER

JOHNSON

parsons the new school for design, new york, ny

The Sheila C. Johnson Design Center is a new 32,800sf campus nexus for Parsons The New School for Design by uniting and re-organizing the street-level spaces of the Schools four buildings around a new urban quad. New Fifth Avenue and West 13th Street entries connect internally for the first time in the glazed-roof quad and provide access to new state-of-the-art galleries, archives, auditorium, orientation center, student critique zone, and seminar spaces. A continuous thin win-dow lounge encourages students and faculty to occupy the complexs perimeter in a series of deep frames that open up views out to the city and in to student work displayed internally at a monu-mental scale.

Universities are typically organized around a open green area or 'quad'. At the SJDC LRA provided an improvised urban variation between the existing four buildings. Where previously there was a maintenance shed and trash alley is now a light-fi lled 1,600 sq ft open 'quad' with a glazed roof. (Demolishing the shed also allowed for insertion of a new basement for HVAC equipment and circulation connections to be made at the basement level). The quad also allows direct circulation to the various elevator cores and provides a new converted freight elevator. The quad also has an expansive ramp that allows for handicap access as well as a sloped corridor where circulation and conversation can happen simultaneously. The space is also dominated by a yellow poplar bark wall on the back of 68 fi fth which is the only building with wood framing.

The Kellens Archives Cener provides Parsons the New School for Design with a more central and accessible location for their extensive archives. The room has UV protected fl uorescent lighting, archival-quality air distribution and a felt liner attached to the brick walls to a height of approximately eight feet that helps keep noise levels down.

The Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium is a bamboo shell within an exposed brick structure that has been painted dark grey. A large opening in the ceiling accomodates AV, lighting and HVAC.. Slotted perforations in the side panels and the back walls aid in acoustics. The front wall is enitrely made of slate which refl ects the speaker's voice outward as well as acts as an oversized chalkboard.

The Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Gallery is a refi ned container within the stripped shell of the 2 West 13th street building. The gallery opens to the street admitting north light and exposing the gallery to the street. At the back of the gallery the ceiling lifts to visually reconnect with the building shell and allow natural light to enter. All the wall outlets are located on the back of the gallery walls and are accessed through a trench at the base of the gallery wall. The slots in the ceiling allow access to the maze of ducts, sprinklers, and conduit that provide museum quality light, air and fi re protection while also maintaining a strict order and visual calm.

rose residence, belmont,ma

This project involved an addition onto an existing colonial home. The original house was also reclad in a cedar scrim wall hiding the traditional home behind. The new addition was clad in copper panels and large full-height windows. The addition approximately doubled the square footage of the house and added a new kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom and office space.

The original house was wrapped in a monolithic, neutral cedar scrim to contrast with the angles and acid-washed copper of the new addition. It also hides the vinyl siding and traditional form of the original typical New England house. The main entry is transferred from the center of the existing home to the three story atrium that seperates and joins the two parts of the home.

SHAPIROCAMPUS CENTER

brandeis university, waltham, ma

Brandeis new campus center sits at a major campus crossroad at the center of campus. Its program includes the university bookstore, an electronic library, a 250-seat theater, the school radio station, the school newspaper, administrative offices that oversee student life, a number of student organizations, a cafe and exhibition space. The diverse program that had previously been spread out throughout the campus is now brought together into one centralized location. This allows for better communication and interactivity.

BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY-SHAPIRO CAMPUS CENTER

south elevation from campus center lawn

Brandeis University offered no obvious site for a campus center. We sited the building at the university's heart, acknowledging the administration's goal of heightening the quality of student life and symbolically placing student spaces at the center of the campus. The location marks the intersection of east-west and north-south primary pedestrian paths and creates a more focused central, expansive and typical college green

The center is really two connected buildings. The overall mass of the building is separated into south and north wings connected by a three-story atrium that not only cre-ates distinctive parts for the building's many functions but also offers a means for the majority of rooms to receive ample natural light. The atrium is crossed via catwalks that connect the building's upper levels.

Ever since I can remember I've been drawing. When I left college I decided to take up painting as a hobby at night. Over the next few years I'd paint 6 hours a night. Over the years my style has changed and I have less time to paint, but I have had the opportunity to sell many paintings and continue to produce work. Because it's been a hobby the work has remained uncompromised in vision and focus and has remained completely self taught.
