2 INTRO + TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION +TABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome to my design portfolio. This is to be a place where the creative projects completed during my undergraduate studies at Kent State University may be displayed as a single body of work.

The first set of projects from Fourth Year Design Studio 1 represent my contributions in a studio-wide focus on the city of Sandusky, Ohio. The semester culminated in an exhibition at the Sandusky State Theater, where our ideas were presented to the people of the city. It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to interact with community members, and be able to share my ideas as part of this greater effort to inspire hope for the future of Sandusky.

The rest of the portfolio is filled a wide range of projects. Each one shows a constant effort to maintain top quality work, as well as to learn something new. Projects completed have allowed me to design in a diverse number of locations including the historic center of Florence; the remote barrier island of Ocracoke; a dense residential neighborhood in Philadelphia; a site right next to the famous Akron Art Museum; and the familiar college town of Kent. Each location offered its own unique challenges and learning opportunities.

Included at the end of the portfolio are sketches done on-site in Florence, Italy, as well as other locations around Europe. Although not an architectural design studio project, these sketches are of a quality worth being shared. They bring the portfolio to a proper conclusion. The semester abroad in Florence, Italy was an incredible learning experience. Living in a different part of the world was an amazing way to gain new understanding about history, architecture, culture, and urban design ideas. The opportunity to gain that new knowledge, and allow it to shape my future as a designer was an incredible blessing.

As I move on in my architecture career, towards graduate school and a career, I hope to continue to look at each new task as a learning opportunity. Knowledge and experience gained throughout my undergraduate education at Kent State will continue to shape my future endeavors.

SANDUSKY, OH ADAPTIVE REUSE

DESIGN CONCEPT The vision of this project is to establish a new central downtown food market that will provide healthy and fresh foods to the people of downtown Sandusky. The service it provides will further encourage more development in the downtown area. Many buildings downtown have thriving businesses on the lower level, but are unoccupied on the upper levels. The long term goal of this project is to create something that will make Sandusky’s downtown more livable, and to encourage permanent residents to move in to the upper levels of buildings. Most of the large box stores are located in Perkins Township, far away from downtown. There is a grocery store right outside of the downtown area, but it seems to attract customers from the neighborhood and does not encourage the future development of downtown. This store has a little bit of everything, but does not have a particular specialization. Along with that grocery store, there is a farmers market that occupies an empty parking lot. It does not offer full time service, therefore it does not promote significant long term growth. The goal of this new central market is to be a market that has specializations in certain real and fresh foods. The market will give the residents of downtown Sandusky the opportunity to acquire quality foods to sustain a healthy life. The availability of such a service will serve as a catalyst to more people continuing to move into downtown. Access to this kind of food is key to sustaining a population of people who actively live and function within the downtown limits.

4 4YDS1: ADAPTIVE REUSE MARKET

1. The current configuration of this site has two old and historic buildings that are distinctly different from one another.

2. The building on Columbus Ave has a brick facade on the upper levels, and the building on E Washington Row was a neoclassical banking hall. Besides their adjacency, the only thing linking them is their inclusion of four stories.

3. In order to take these two different buildings, and to unite them into one cohesive structure that houses a multi-level market, certain changes would need to be made to each building.

E. WASHINGTON ROW & COLUMBUS AVE.

4. On the Columbus building, the lower floor was expanded to keep the amount of retail space on the floor, while also adding additional back room service spaces. The E.Washington building was of an ‘L’ shape, and the foot of that ‘L’ has been removed, which will allow for a more cohesive floor plan.

5. The upper levels of the Columbus building form another ‘L’ shape that creates an open air void for natural light for the once existing apartments. A new atrium will enclose that space. This atrium will link with one of the key features of the E.Washington building, a double height banking hall/ worship hall. These two grand spaces will unite the two buildings into one.

6. These two monumental spaces link the two different buildings and offer multi-sensory connections between different levels of the grocery market. One floor does not hide from another, but wants to be seen. This encourages people to move up and down between the various areas with ease. That experience makes this grocery market a unique destination for locals and visitors.

SANDUSKY, OH NEW MARKET

DESIGN CONCEPTThis new building, to be built on a current vacant site, is an alternative to the Sandusky adaptive reuse grocery market. The vision of this project is still to establish a new central downtown food market that will provide healthy and fresh foods to the people of downtown Sandusky. The service it provides will further encourage more development into the downtown area. The goal of this new central market is to be a market that has specializations in certain real and fresh foods. This goal will give the residents of downtown Sandusky the opportunity to acquire quality foods to sustain a healthy life.

8 4YDS1: NEW MARKET

This design intends to follow basic grocery store formula, but adding new levels of delight to the shopping experience by introducing daylight into the space. Each section of roof is lifted above the previous, creating a clerestory that allows daylight to penetrate areas of a store usually entirely dependent on artificial light. This strategy greatly reduces the need to use energy on lighting during the daytime.

The orientation of the building on the site is based on two different wind conditions and how the building’s shape affects exterior spaces that need to be comfortable. There is a plaza that is located at the end of an existing alley that is designed to be a major entry point to the site from Market Street and Columbus Avenue. This space is one that people may occupy during all times of the year. The open end of the plaza should be able to capture summer winds, allowing for comfort during hot weather. The plaza is also shielded by the building from the harsh winter winds, avoiding severe wind chills.

One additional advantage to the clerestory window system is that there is a possibility for it to be opened up during certain times of the year. Natural ventilation may occur as warm air passes through the clerestory and to the outside. During these times, the grocery store would have a feeling similar to the covered open air markets of Europe. Also during these times, there would be substantially less reliance on active conditioning systems.

The store hopes to raise awareness of how food is processed and transported. On the second floor, the area above the two small retail shops, is dedicated to urban farming. Herbs, mushrooms, and other produce may be grown there on vertical panels year round. This will greatly minimize the stores’ impact of bringing in produce from outside sources, as well as inform customers about more sustainable food.

A basic floor plan was generated which would have a main entry hall on axis with the alley to Columbus Ave. To the north would be the main store, with a restaurant overlooking the grocery hall. To the south side would be two new businesses, with the urban farm above. Overall the building was quite large, but in scale with the massing of the rest of downtown Sandusky. The task was to develop iterations of a building envelope that would respond well to the downtown condition. The large mass of a grocery market would be broken into multiple similar, yet different sections that work in their context.

FLORENCE, ITALY VISITOR CENTER

DESIGN CONCEPTThe concept of this building is to draw inspiration from historical buildings, taking elements from them and expressing them in a 21st century language. This concept was derived from the adjacent Sant’Ambrogio market. Initially opened in 1873, it was a super modern building of its time and used the newest construction techniques, but it also still held true to old architectural ideas. The visitor center does the same thing, holding on to history but in a language relevant to its current age. The ground plan and facade are inspired by historical architecture but are expressed in a contemporary fashion.

PROJECT INFORMATION:Location:Piazza AnnigoniFirenze, ItaliaDate Completed:Fall 2013Class:Third Year Design Studio 2,Professor:Andrea Ponsi, ArchitectPeter Forbes, FAIA

12 3YDS2: VISITOR CENTER

The facade of the visitor center is inspired by historical work in the city by Filippo Brunelleschi. A proportional system squares and ‘X’s were derived from the facade of Ospedale degli Innocenti. That system expresses itself through the columns and variations in the glass pattern. This takes the old historical building and expresses it in a new way.

For a ground plan, a ‘U’ shape of similar idea to the Galleria Degli Uffizi was chosen. This plan allows it to be open toward the Mercato Sant’Ambrogio on the west side, and enclosed on others, creating a new smaller version of Piazza Annigoni. Like the outside of the Uffizi, this space is wider than a typical street in the city, yet much more compact than a typical piazza. It takes on qualities of a cloister, with its central open space flanked by loggias, yet it still has the open end like a piazza.

Page 13: Design Portfolio of Walter Haim

13DESIGN PORTFOLIO: WALTER HAIM

One of the arms of the visitor center lines up directly with the market’s outdoor canopy, reaching out to its neighbor. This creates a progression back and forth from the market to the visitor center. The progression starts at the market and passes through the covered loggia, where there is new seating for existing restaurants, as well as additional market space. The progression continues to a grand staircase that ushers people to the central entry space. Once inside, all the other program areas branch off from that central space. Inside the building, the circulation halls are positioned as to look inwards into the new, more enclosed piazza.

PHILADELPHIA, PA ROWHOUSE INFILL

PROJECT INFORMATION:Location:2107 Lombard Street,Philadelphia PennsylvaniaDate Completed:Fall 2013Class:Third Year Design Studio 1,Professor:Daniel Vieyra, Ph.D., AIA

DESIGN CONCEPTThis infill house connects with the adjacent rowhouses while also standing on its own as an architectural piece. The initial design idea involved a series of voids that alternated on the facade, and carried through to influence the layout of the plan. Zones were created that bridged the public exterior and the private interior. The next step happened when site forces were introduced. On one side was a shorter three story house and on the other, a taller two story configuration. The solution to that condition involved using the void/zone concept to bridge the two together in a unique way.

ELEVATION CONCEPT

PLAN CONCEPT

ELEVATION DEVELOPMENT

16 3YDS1: ROWHOUSE INFILL

The existing condition is a large two story rowhouse to the left, and several smaller three story rowhouses to the right.

Zones were drawn across the gap from the windows of the houses on the other side. The important observation was conditions where they do or do not overlap.

The elevation concept of alternating elements on each level of the façade was applied in accordance with the zones from each side house.

The alternating façade elements now serve as a way filling the gap, while also serving as a transition from the two different houses on each side.

At this point, the architecture can be actualized as a rowhouse infill that bridges the gap while also standing on its own.

On each floor, a void space will express itself on the façade, alternating on each side. Elements from both houses to the side will influence their specific placement and shape, and continue to develop to the actual design.

Rather than simply being an external expression on the façade, the plan is significantly influenced by what is happening on the outside.

PHILADELPHIA, PA BLOCK MASTERPLAN

DESIGN CONCEPTThe main issue the team wanted to address was the sheer scale of Philadelphia’s urban grid, and how to make this new block work within that system, yet create a unique identity for this individual block. The plan intends to allow residents to feel like a part of the larger community, but also develop a sense of community within this individual block. The main way of achieving this was to create various spaces that relate from large and public to small and private.

PROJECT INFORMATION:Location:Lombard Street, Waverly St,19th Street, 20th StreetPhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaDate Completed:Fall 2013Class:Third Year Design Studio 1,Professor:Daniel Vieyra, Ph.D., AIACollaborators:Aaron Kanapesky & Christian Ford

20 3YDS1: BLOCK MASTERPLAN

The first step was to isolate the block we were working with from the much larger city. This allows for a designed and focused way that this block will connect to the city around it.

Near the middle of the site is a church that has a significant presence on Lombard Street. Highlighting this church, and celebrating its prominence is a key piece in how the block presents itself to the rest of the city.

Behind the church, there will be a new community park that can be an enjoyable place to relax, or to hold small community events. Within a dense city, such as Philadelphia, the intention is to provide people comfortable open space.

Page 21: Design Portfolio of Walter Haim

21DESIGN PORTFOLIO: WALTER HAIM

The combination of the restored church, as well as the new adjacent park form a new social core for the block, anchoring it and connecting it to the rest of the city.

Leading from the park, are ‘green alleyways’ which are private access paths that run in between rowhouses. These offer residents a non-street access to their houses, and provide urban greenspace on a more private scale than the new park.

New rowhouses would fill in the remainder of the site. Four typologies of rowhouses in the city are incorporated into the master plan.

Another issue that the team addressed was parking for residents. It was decided that there would be a private underground parking garage, accessed from 19th Street, and the exit being on Lombard Street. Each house would have direct access to the parking. On top of the below grade parking would be a green roof system called a ‘green alleyway’ which provides pedestrian access from the street level to each house.

DESIGN CONCEPTThe property in Ocracoke will be a shared ownership group between multiple parties in a large extended family. The site is intended to be a reunion spot where individual parts of the family or families and friends, or the entire family can gather to experience a camp-like feeling on the island.Goals are to 1) design spaces which accommodate each family individually, while offering gathering various gathering spaces for the entire collective group. 2) maximize the barrier island experience by designing for associated views and activities.

22 3YDS1: FAMILY RETREAT

SITE ‘FLIP BOOK’ ANALYSIS

One of the first steps in organizing the design was to perform a site analysis in plan and section, based on several factors including code and zoning issues for Ocracoke, climate conditions, and other features. Each piece of information was then overlaid on top of another in the form of a ‘flip book’. Individual pages would be compared with one another, and this book as a whole informed the overall design of the site.

Different typologies of cabins, retreats, cohousing, and tiny houses were studied and inspired the design. These include Siasconset Cottages on Nantucket Island, Kamp Kippy, various A-frame cabins, as well as other small cabin types.

Another precedent was the JP Clark House in Palm Springs, CA. Originally a bachelor house isolated on the site, as his family grew, separate yet interconnected sections were added, and the house became an integrated part of the site.

Although made up of five distinct structures, they are connected as one whole that is integrated into the site through a series of elevated and ground level walkways. From the road, the main living cabin is the first large A-frame structure. Moving west, there is an enclosed exterior space in between the walkways, sleeping cabins, and the view tower, that eventually opens up into the sound.

VIEW

A lighthouse is a seaside icon, and the view from the top, a staple of beach vacations. The ‘View Tower’ aims to bring these exciting panoramic experiences to the individual family on vacation.

This typology, based on a pulled apart A-frame, is designed to be a place where people can rest for the night. There are several of these on the site, each providing a place for a different part of the family. Each cabin accommodates five individuals, two on the ground level, and three on the upper level. A full bathroom is also included with each cabin. Entries are on either the ground level, or the upper walkway.

FIGHT SEQUENCE - BRUCE LEE V. THE BIG BOSS

DESIGN CONCEPTThe first part of the design process for this building was to analyze a Bruce Lee fight. The specific one observed was the final fight scene from the movie ‘The Big Boss’. From the entire fight scene, 6 individual frames in a specific sequence that took place over a few seconds were used in the next steps.From this fight, an exchange of forces was observed: 1) Control – the non-movement part of the body, 2) Impact – where someone gets hit, 3&4) Speed and Power – two different kinds of motion, 5) Balance – performs as the regulator between all of the previously listed forces.In all six frames observed, a common relationship was found in the way forces interacted with each other. This was further represented in the form of a 3D diagram, which would become the system of forces that would influence the building. Throughout the 3d diagram, balance is present in every level. Balance moves, and shifts through the entire system as it interacts with the other forces. That flow of balance from the system is the main idea behind this building.

The axonometric diagram shows how the motion and interaction of forces actualizes in the building. Forces present in the building are various program spaces, interior, exterior, and site. The motion visibly starts from the northern approach from the site. The solid mass of the racquetball courts sits delicately over this glass curtain wall. From there the motion shifts down to the entrance. The motion continues around the exterior of the building.Starting at the entrance, the motion also goes inside. There is a stair ramp that takes people to the main program areas. It also offers a view back through the glass wall to the Akron Art Museum. From that point there is immediate access to the program areas. The main program areas relate back to the exterior, completing the flow.

KENT, OH MEDIA HOUSE

DESIGN CONCEPTThis building is an exhibition center for media in the town of Kent, Ohio. It is a place where various forms of media are created and shown to the public community. The curves of the roof and walls form different exhibition areas along the open space overlooking the Cuyahoga River. The main entry hall is formed by the highest point on the curve. At the end of the hall it slopes down toward the theatre exhibition area. A second curve directs people toward the education area. Near the classrooms, the first curve rises up and expands, while the second falls and contracts, creating a large room for exhibition of audio and learning. The interaction of these two curves create openings of glass that looks out towards the trail and river, making the site part of the exhibition.

Community, nourishment, and knowledge are all connected together by a central entry space. One of the main ways that wealth factors are broken down is through a dining area with access to a café for all, and soup kitchen for those in need. Separating these into two different spaces would continue wealth division, but combining them erases it. On the other side, the market unites the community and nourishes it by bringing local farmers in to offer their fresh healthy products to the people of downtown Kent year round. The primary hub for knowledge exists on the upper level of this entry space. The multipurpose auditorium can be open to the food lab and learning classrooms, or each space can be divided off separately. This gives this this space much flexibility that can adapt to fit the learning needs of the community.

KENT, OH FOOD BANK

DESIGN CONCEPTThis project unites community. The primary ways the community unites is through nourishment and knowledge. A united community can be defined as one that can come together and function with traditional dividing factors being ignored. In this case the most common dividing factor is wealth. The way that barrier will be broken is by nourishment and knowledge. Nourishment directly relates to food. But the definition goes beyond simply being fed. Nourishment implies an overall well-being as it relates to food. This well-being offers itself to better improve the community. Knowledge is typically acquired at a young age and is only directly offered by schools. The creation for opportunities to gain knowledge at a later stage in life as well as early greatly helps to unite the community. Opportunities to gain knowledge also go into that well-being aspect of nourishment.
