Sustainable Lab: Marine Research and Education CenterLocatedona96-acresiteonthenorthcentralcoastofSt.Croix,theMarineResearchandEducationCenterprovidesauniqueopportunityforbothscientistsand the local community to engage in the natural habitat around them. The Center is designed with a small footprint to aid in preserving both the ecological and cultural history of the site. This small footprint also allows for minimal fossil energy consumption.

The Center utilizes many technologies that help to make it sustainable. SolaTubes allowtheuserstoadjusttheamountofdaylightenteringthespace.Araisedfloorsystem allows for adaptability and easy maintenance. The insulated metal panels also allow the building envelope to evolve as rapidly as the function does.

TheMarineResearchandEducationCenterenablesscientiststoeasilyconductexperiments. They can do so with great control over the building features. The center also invites the local community in and welcomes them with numerous educational opportunities.

Insulated Metal PanelsTheSustainableLabutilizesInsulatedMetalPanelsinits

construction. These panels provide the building with a very high R-value along with an air-tight construction. Panels can be easily removedandreconfiguredasneeded.Thisconceptallowsthebuilding to adapt and evolve over time as the needs within the

building change.

LouverSystemPlaced on the outside of the Insulated Metal Panels is a

dual-function louver system. This system allows the occupants inside to adjust the amount of daylight entering the rooms.

The louvers can also be fully closed to provide hurricane wind protection for the building.

Rainwater CollectionTheSustainableLabcollectsallroofrainwater runoff. Water is either stored in collection devices like these where people canseethem,orinlargecisternsbelowthe structure.

the TOYPLAYSAM shop

Daniel PotashCraig Genet

Sleek, bright, and minimalisticdescribe the very essence of Playsam toys. These ideas can also describe the essence of a pieceofarchitecture,theexactobjective in the design of the Toy Shop. The metaphor of the toy is visuallyexpressed in form,butis also expressed in principal. The showroom should not be overcrowded with toys, butinstead maintain plenty of space between toys allowing each toy tostanduniquefromits’peers.Customers and employees alike should also have plenty ofspacetocirculate,work,andof course play with the toys. Finally,theenvironmentisalsoaresponsetothetoy,conveyingbrightness and warmth through light and materials, just asSwedish architecture achieves.
