2 Voxel Center

Voxel CenterSpring 2015Site: Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPartner: Kirk NewtonThe Voxel Center is a reinterpretation of a traditional Maker Center. Located in the Garfield arts district in Pittsburgh, the aspired Net Zero building embraces flexibility through kinetic design and sustainability strategies. By virtue of open floorplates, the Voxels, or modular units containing various programmatic spaces and equipment, are able to move freely and deliberately. Users may reserve Vox-elpads and, rather than travel to a specific workspace, they can call upon various Voxels to their station containing their desired equipment. In addition, the building is divided into novice and expert zones to enhance circulation ease. Classrooms, cafe spaces, a library, and other static programmatic zones are located in the buildings central core for communal use. Lastly, the exterior of the building is adorned with deployable shading structures that reinforce the kinetic qualities of the building while providing intimate gathering spaces for collaboration.

01.04 Site Sectional Condition

01.04 Site Analysis

Garfield is nestled between Bloomfield and Friendship to the South, East Liberty to the East, Lawrenceville to the West, and Stanton Heights to the North. Located at the confluence of these neighborhoods, Garfield is a hub of cultures and people. Garfield is composed mostly of residential streets running North-South from Penn Av-enue at the South to Mossfield Street at the North. Within the Pittsburgh lot and block grid, Garfield encompasses

portions of two zones, 50 and 83. As you can see in the map above, since the site is on the Southeast section of Garfield, close to East Liberty, it is within the 83 zone; thus, the site shares zoning re-strictions with both Garfield and East Liberty. The site is slightly more than a block away from the key intersection of Penn Ave and N Negley Ave. It is located across the street from a public housing complex and comprises one parcel, 83 - J - 247. The site is trapezoidal, compen-

sating for the shifted street grid of the rear neighborhood. The site itself has a complicated topography. Denoted in or-ange in the section, it has a slight grade of only 7.8%, across from public hous-ing. The rear portion, however, has a dramatic slope with a 41.1% grade. This sloped zone of the site is heavily wooded and difficult to build upon. Above this zone, the slope decreases significantly to a grade of 9.8%. Here, most of the land is dedicated to residential building.

Despite being surrounded by residential houses, the sites close proximity to Penn Ave, and the Glass Center, various galleries, and other amenities lining it, makes it optimal for a Makercenter. Garfield is already an up-and-coming neighborhood for mak-ers and artists, so the site is definitely appropriate for such an interesting and ever-changing program.

10 Nested Baths

Nested BathsSpring 2014Site: Saco Lake, New HampshirePartner: Jenny WongLocated in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire, this bath house challenges the role of material and elevation as definitions of space. As with tradition Roman bath houses, there are three baths (the Caldarium, the Tepidarium, and the Frigidarium), and, in an attempt to accomodate hikers and travelers in the area, there is a separate lodge component in the center. The zones of the pro-gram are divided based on temperature and necessary level of enclosure such that, as one descends into the bath house, additional wood frame thresholds signify the change in thermal qualities of the spaces, with the caldarium and the hearth at the innermost layer. The exteriormost layer of the structure is composed of concrete masonry units that emerge from the montainside only to be chipped away to allow moments of clarity and views from within the layers.

Filter + ReuseFall 2014Site: Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPartner: Jenny WongThis commuter housing project, located along the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, span five blocks from the 16th Street Bridge to 21st Street. The project attempts to merge ecologically-innovative bioswales and wetlands with community farming and gathering. This portion of the Strip District is known to heavily pollute the river as a result of poor irrigation and sewer systems, so by using the housing units as eco-machines, the project simultaneously pro-vides intimate spaces for occupants as well as large open spaces for the com-munity. The design of both the housing units as well as the landscape blur to reinforce the unifying filtration system embedded within. In order to visualize and realize the project, sectional drawings, diagrams, and models were used to parametrically modify the qualities of spaces throughout the site.

16 Cascading Ribs

Cascading RibsFall 2013Site: Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPartners: Gary Li, Jenny Wong, Eugene Jahng, Madhura Kharche, Keith YoungThis full-scale design-build project attempts to push the boundaries of the tra-ditional hoop house for growing and sheltering plants. In conjunction with five of my classmates, the design was catered specifically for the Healcrest Urban Farm in Pittsburgh. Our design was centered on a rotating rib structural pattern composed of steel square tubes and wooden panels linked by aluminum con-duit. Different levels of opaque eco-plastic were draped over the ribs to allow sunlight to pass through to the plants while preventing rain and other weather hazards. By also using mesh, we created hangable and growable spaces, and enabled air passage from underneath to ventilate the growing process. If de-sired, compost can be placed under the structure for thermal insulation.

18 Bifurcated Boathouse

Bifurcated BoathouseFall 2015Site: Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPartner: Alyssa HamiltonThis redesign of the Three Rivers Rowing facility in Millvale creates an experi-ence of compression and expansion through a branching structural forest, in-terrupting the dense forest existing on the site. The spaces within embrace all aspects of boating while facilitating discussion and learning. Situated close to the rivers edge, the users can connect with the water through various senses - vision, sound, and touch. The intricate roof element acts as a water collec-tor/director and plays off of the rib triangulation. Finally, the slatted enclosure reinforces the linearity of the design while framing particular views.
