Architectue StudioProf. Clark + Prof. MezzantiEducational Facility

The site is located along Miami River in Little Havana, Miami. From the site, looking east, the tops of the downtown buildings can be seen in the distance and to the southwest is the newly built stadium. A new public space at the waters edge is created by the boardwalk that is connected to the City of Miami’s proposed Riverwalk. The public buildings on the site are located surrounding the central plaza and the kindergarten is in the northwest section of the site, secluded for security and privacy for the young children. The overall design promotes fl exibility and social interaction by use of the modular system of the cube and the site organization. The former alienated site is brought into the public realm with a daily infl ux of people daily activating the place in new ways.

STANDARD MODULE1,800 sq ft interior space900 sq ft exterior spaceTOTAL : 2,700 SQ FT

The standard module is created by placing two solids around a void. In the kindergarten spaces, the solids become interior space and the void becomes the courtyard between.

RESTAURANT4,500 sq ft interior space900 sq ft exterior spaceTOTAL : 5,400 SQ FT

The standard module is added onto to harness more horizontal space. Solid cubes can be combined to create more indoor space like in the restaurant where more conditioned adjacent space is required.

BUTTERFLY RAINFOREST6,300 sq ft interior space900 sq ft exterior spaceTOTAL : 7,200 SQ FT

The standard module is added onto to create a large volume to house the butterfl ies. Here, the solid cubes are stacked on top of each other to create additional vertical space.

PURE ORIGINS - PREMIER JEWELERInterior Design StudioProf. MenelyPrototype Jewelry Store3,500 sq ft

Pure Origins was designed to fi t the parameters set forth by the Institute of Store Planners in their 2007 ISP Student Design Competition.

The resulting design is a retrofi t of an existing vacant tenant soace located in a typical mall. The program called for development of a prototype retail jewelry store. As an industry leader, the jewelry company commits to serving the fi nest modern designs, adorning the buyer with style and luxury, always with an environmental conscience. Pure Origins houses an exhibit space to showcase a select array of clean jewels from a pure source.

Raw materials are subtly integrated into the sleek interior to create interest. This contrast delicately reminds the client of the source of the precious stones. Pure Origins is committed to supplying from the cleanest sources.

14

The exhibit space is centrally located within the store since it is an essential element of the design. This space contains educational information regarding where Pure Origins retrieves its products and a select array of special jewels. Educational information included in the exhibit space includes maps of where each jewel is originally from, ensuring the buyer is not receiving any confl ict pieces of jewelry.

All materials and lighting used in the space are environmentally friendly and energy effi cient, Pure Origins is dedicated to honesty in both their jewels and their stores.

Portions of the city grid can slide to alter the visual and spatial continuity. The grid pattern can be interrupted to defi ne major spaces or to accomodate natural features of the site. The lines of the grid can be made irregular in one or two directions in size, proportion and location. The idea of a grid, its organizational properties

and orthagonal nature, are implemented in the organization of the spaces along the main circulation path. Elements in healthcare are often very standardized, and these are located here. The main circulation path is a curve, encouraging interaction. The connector addition brings in the outdoors with large windows.

Beijing International AirportBeijing, China

Interior Design StudioProf. TorresAviation250,000 sq ft

Team: Katie Chapman, Danielle King, Ashley Moore, Jimmy Wall

An airport is the gateway to a city, a country, and a culture. In order to attract more visitors and transfer travelers, the airport has to be of ultimate functionality and a place where people enjoy spending time. The airport character is infused with local fl avor and unique distinctive attributes from its location to give the traveler a taste of the place they fi nd themselves. It is also the beginning of a journey or the end of it.

Current efforts in China to remain a world superpower lend to new design and construction, for example the structures designed and built for the 2007 Olympics, to be innovative and boast in originality, both advancing technologically and structurally.

A Walk in the ParkWinter Park, Florida

Architectue StudioProf. Lee-Su HuangTransit Station and Park Addition

Flanked on the east side by a hard edge of chic boutiques, cafés, and coffee shops, the park is a breath of fresh air in the otherwise small scale urban setting of downtown Winter Park.

The pavilion Is the main entrance of the new addition to the park. Inside is an acoustically controlled, enclosed space from the surrounding area used for performances or as a gallery. The raised boardwalk feeds from the existing meandering sidewalks of the east side of the park connecting lines of transportation. The main plaza, created by the circling of the boardwalk, is an open space and public square for circulation of pedestrians to and from the train stop. It is a destination point within the site, a place to meet up with a friend or sit for a cup of coffee. Sitting between the plaza and train tracks is the tranit station. There is a covered waiting space and public restrooms here, open 24 hours a day. Linked with the station and plaza is Austin’s Coffee Shop, located within the north edge of the pavilion. Relocated from a few blocks away, Austin’s system of operation works well with the program of its new setting. The coffee shop is open 24/7 and offers entertainment such as spoken word and small scale music performances which will further activate the plaza defi ning it as a place of destination.

BreakwaterSt. Mark’s Basin Venice, Italy

Architectue StudioProf. HaileyPermanent Intervention

San Marco Piazza has intimately been connected to the water throughout its entire history. A landmark in the city and also the world, the piazza fl oods several times a year from water from the basin as the tide raises and bubbles up through the drains. The Piazzeta, smaller piazza, opens directly into the basin on the south of the island giving a panoramic view of the water and across to Chiesa Di San Giorgio Maggiore, Rendentore, and Santa Maris Della Salute. This view is congested not only by the number of tourists but also because the main gondola service area lies directly on the edge of the water.

Pilings stick into the sky higher than eye level, the gondola hut where the gondoliers congregate is directly between the two monumental granite columns carrying symbols of the two patron saints of Venice and there are over 15 million tourists who fl ood Venice each year. With all this commotion, it is diffi cult to have a quiet moment to take in a clear view. This intervention provides that quiet moment.

46

From the location of the intervention, site lines to the three historical churches have been mapped out and the feild of vision has been highlighted back to the intervention. Also, a feild of vision has been highlighted from the interior of St.Mark’s Piazza.

WATER CONTOUR EDGES

The existing breakwater is separated from the shore by a measure of 70 feet. This contour line has been repeated at this measure from every shore in the basin to give a scale to the basin and illuminate ideas of other locations for breakwaters.

TERRITORIES

Within the area of St.Mark’s Piazza and Basin are two primary territories: the water and the land. Within the territory of the land are two sub categories: the pedestrian walkways and the buildings. Little public green space or interstitial space is left over.

FIELD OF VISION

Near St.Mark’s Piazza are three historial church landmarks. From the front steps a fi eld of vision, 45 degrees to each side, is highlighted, showing the overlap in the center and the edges where sightlines may eventually become obstructed.
