Boston Children’s Specialty Hospital

Fall 2012Boston, MAStudio: Paul Zorr
Invite / Interact / InspireThe design for the Boston Children’s Specialty Hospital creates an inspiring environment that enhances one’s experience and stay. Located along the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway, the site presents an opportunity to interact with the greenway and bring part of the natural landscape into the hospital. The gardens, located throughout the hospital, provide a place for healing and relaxation as well as an opportunity to promote social interaction between patients, families, employees, and the community.
The design concept stemmed from an analysis of Boston and its overlapping neighborhoods and districts. This overlaying of diverse and vibrant neighborhoods inspired the multiple elevations of the hospital. Entering from the south east corner at the intersection of Cross St. and Fulton St., the hospital becomes a threshold, inviting people to the North End.My design proposal was awarded Honorable Mention.

Rural Studio Farm Master Plan
Spring 2012Newbern, ALStudio: Elena Barthel and John Marusich
Established in 1993, the Auburn University’s Rural Studio was conceived as a method to improve the living conditions in rural Alabama and to include hands-on experience in an architectural pedagogy. As part of a group of eleven students in the Third Year Design Studio, we were asked to examine the multi-phase project that focused on the re-design of the Rural Studio campus as an opportunity to build the Rural Studio Farm. We were challenged to use the land creatively as a precious resource. We experimented with the production of food, energy, and building materials.
The design consisted of three main production systems: the raised beds, the water tower, and the food forest. This section of the portfolio will focus on the design of the food forest which is a low maintenance system that will produce food and lumber. The food forest was designed to be planted in phases, which we called nuclei. The phases of planting will give us time to learn which trees grow best and which trees should be replaced. Each nuclei consisted of nine species of trees and several shrubs and ground coverage. The trees were selected based on height, canopy spread, ability to grow and live in west Alabama, and the fruit produced. The shrubs and ground coverage were selected based on production, the use of the plant, and the ability to provide nutrients to the trees. The food forest will eventually become its own ecosystem, allowing it to grow and produce with little to no maintenance.

The Alabama Impact Crater and Science Center
Spring 2011Wetumpka, ALStudio: Robert Sproull
The Elmore County Economic Development Authority partnered with the Alabama Forestry Wood Design Competition and the students of Auburn University School of Architecture to design a center which would focus on the Wetumpka meteor impact crater site. My design proposal was awarded third place prize.
My proposal for The Alabama Impact Crater and Science Center is to take advantage of the large site and the changes in the condition of the land. The proposal captures views to the wetlands and nearby Montgomery from several places on the site and the tower gives a 360 degree view of the site and the rim of the crater. To take advantage of such a large space, a datum was designed through the site that defines the program. The program is seperated into five buildings based on function and use of the spaces, and each building interacts with the path differently. The path never changes elevations and creates an uninterrupted view from the entry to the tower at the end of the path. The outdoor circulation allows visitors to experience all possible views and interact with the site as they progress down the path.

Lake House
Fall 2010Lake Martin, ALStudio: Justin Miller
The program for this project asked for a 2,000 square foot lake house located along Lake Martin in Alabama. The site we were given for our design was a limited lot size measuring 30 feet wide by 70 feet deep with a drastic slope towards the lake. This limitation inspired me to include multiple levels and floors within the house. My client for this project was a novelist, so I incorporated a space condusive to reading and writing. The concept of my design was to take advantage of the views to the lake by creating an open floor plan on the first floor. The facade is made of vertical wood pieces that allow light into the house while still creating privacy. The first floor contains the foyer, kitchen, great room, patio, and a reading and writing room with access to the lake. The second floor contains 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a master bedroom and bathroom.

New York Facade
Fall 2010New York, NYStudio: Justin Miller
For this project we were asked to design a facade for a mixed-use building along the New York High Line on West 23rd Street. The High Line is an abandoned elevated railway which has been converted to an urban park and pedestrian walkway. My design proposal is an all glass facade for a residential and commerical building with access to the High Line. The glass facade incorporates two layers of opaque glass, off set from each other, and built in translucent windows with the same grid pattern as the layered glass. This allows views outside but blocks direct sunlight. This system also acts as a trombe wall by storing the heat from the daytime between the layers of glass and then releasing the heat at night.

Inventory of Parts
When assigned this project, all we were given was the name of the chair and the architect. It was our responsibility to research as much information on the chair that would help us recreate it. With access to the woodshop, we spent the semester building mock-ups and eventually the final product.

Blocks and Strips Work-Clothes Quilt (1935)by Lucy Mooney
Vertical Stitching Analysis Individual Stitching Analysis
This quilt analysis is an early study leading up to a larger project. For this smaller study model we were each assigned a different quilt made by the women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, the location of the larger design project. We were asked to analyze the quilt and create a 3-D representation of it. The size was limited to 1’ x 1’ x 1’.
