FLEXIBLE HOUSINGThe typical urban housing typology of Berlin consists of the Mietskaserne, a series of tight, dark courtyards and dense tenement style housing. This project seeks to counter the affect of the mietskaserne by providing light and air to every apartment.

The site is the central part of a city block located in Mitte, a neighborhood in the heart of Berlin. The three corners of the block have already been constructed in the Mietskaserne style while the proposed site is empty as a result of destruction left over from WWII.

Each apartment unit in the building focuses on air and light access regulated by a unique facade strategy. A system of sliding panels on the furthest exterior layer control light while a retractable curtain wall on the interior controls access to fresh air. When fully folded back, the entire room transforms into a balcony. Additionally, whenever possible, apartment units were designed to span the width of the building allowing light and air to penetrate from both sides as well as allowing the creation of crossbreezes.

The facade consists of two layers: an outer layer of sliding panels and a inner, retractable curtain wall. The multicolor panels slide back and forth on an inset track and serve to provide privacy and sun protection. Depending on their position, panels can cover anywhere from a 33%-100% of exposed glass. The retractable curtain wall can also slide entirely open, creating a balcony out of the living room space behind.

The reinforced concrete structure with heavy timber divisions allows the potential for walls to be removed between apartments. This creates the chance for occupants to expand their apartment as their family or means grow and makes a variety of future re-use opportunities beyond apartments possible.

PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOLThe project began with an in depth analysis of the surrounding site where the visual boundaries of the site, the urban fabric of the immediate area as well as the general zoning districts in the neighborhood were all examined. These analyses were then used to construct a general site plan for the block which included commercial and residential zones as well as the Performing Arts School.

The school contains four disciplines: theater, music, dance, and visual art in addition to the regular school program. The disciplines are arranged by floor with important public spaces (i.e. the

auditorium, commons, library, and flexible space) are spread out between the floors.

The circulation sequence follows a corkscrew pattern up through an irregular multiple height space that morphs as one goes up. The sequence passes all public spaces and terminates at the library and double height flex space.

The flex space is intended to be occupied by students practicing their art form and is therefore surrounded by circulation spaces so that students can experience what students in other disciplines are working on throughout the day.

SITE ANALYSIS: VIEWSThis diagram shows buildings that can be viewed from the site in nolli. The orange line depicts the general view boundaries of the site while the green view cones show view corridors which were to be capitalized on in the master plan. The cones show the longest approach pattern to each building.

LIBRARY BRANCH PROPOSALNortheastern University | Prof. Sam Choi | Fall 2012

This proposal called for a new community library on a uniquely situated site. The building is located on top of Route 93 which is part of the “Big Dig” in Boston. Rising through the center of the site is a 15’x61’x75’ tall brick vent for the highway underneath which the proposed library wraps around. The site is also at the border of Chinatown and the Leather District which encompasses a unique economic spectrum. Additionally, Chinatown presents a local context whereas the Leather District presents a more urban context.

The library is organized between two volumes. The first and more closed off contains stacks while the second, more open, is filled with reading and computer spaces. There are two entrances to the library, one opening to each district. This side is raised on a plinth to separate it from the busy city. The ground floor contains a classroom, local history and children’s stacks, a circulation desk and catalog workstations. From there, the library user can use the elevator to arrive in a sequestered world of stacks and reading spaces.the floors.

VISUAL PROXIMITYNortheastern University | Prof. Michael Smith | Summer 2014

This abbreviated semester long course asked us to create a series of drawings revolving around the Back Bay Fens. I chose to examine views between the Fens and several prominent surrounding buildings including the Prudential Tower, West Village H on Northeastern’s campus, and the Center for Life Science Boston in the Longwood Medical Area.

The drawings focused on the juxtaposition of the technology of modern buildings with one of the largest natural spaces in Boston. Furthermore, I looked at how locals and tourists could use the three previously mentioned buildings as navigation tools while exploring the city.

[22]

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOThis project was planned in two phases. The first phase involved renovating a 100,770 SF existing building to create Saieh Hall for U of C’s economics program and occured before I arrived at the office. Phase two involved creating a new 48,920 SF research pavilion off the existing building. This pavilion also connected to two existing houses, 5750 and 5740 South Woodlawn Ave. which were also renovated. ----------------------These renders began as a slightly outdated sketchup model. I was given updated construction documents and was told to correct the model with the new changes. From there, I exported a linework JPEG to Photoshop and added all textures and materials.

The two renders shown here are of the same classroom. The view on the right shows the room divided by a central partition.

Kitchenette and Door OptionsThese three views depict three door options and two kitchenette options for a planned conference room in a newly renovated historic house on University of Chicago’s campus located at 5750 South Woodlawn Ave. The project architect planned on showing these options to the client and needed an easy visualization to do

so. I built these in sketchup using plans and elevations exported from Revit. The base model for this part of the project was done in Revit and then imported into Sketchup where I cleaned it up and essentially made it usable.

Planting Sketch

[28]

Late one Friday afternoon, the ABA project manager for the University of Chicago project came up to me with an issue. The landscape architect was having trouble buying some of the plants called for in the existing landscape drawings. He had therefore decided to switch some of the existing plants with substitutes he deemed reasonable. With little experience in horticulture, the project manager wasn’t satisfied with just the landscape architect’s word. Furthermore, she wasn’t sure exactly where on the plan each affected plant was located or in what quantity and so came to me for help.

I took the email naming the proposed substitutions and outlined where the affected plants were located in the existing plans. I then went online and found photos of both the existing plants and the proposed substi-tutions to see how visually comparable they actually were. Finally, I did a little further research to discover any potential negative characteristics of the new plants and found some negative smells and unwanted autumn color changes. This was all done under a time crunch so the project manager could gain a scope of the issue and reply to the landscape architect before the weekend began.

CORNELL LAW SCHOOL

This sketch shows the proportions and locations of two sign plaques located at the Cornell Law School. ABA had recently finished a large addition to the school but these signs representing major donors still needed to be installed. I was given the actual sign design and a hand drawing of the base. I as-signed actual dimensions and helped decide the location of each plaque at the site.
