A weave of fabric was analyzed and translated into a facade construction that works with the relationships and construction methods found within the original pattern.
These constructions were then adapted to address solar and programmatic considerations. The project became a hybrid office building and market space.
The building is sited in a parking lot adjacent to the historic Produce Terminal Building. Currently home to the Pittsburgh Public Market, the area around the site features shops, restaurants, bars, and streetside vendors. The project intensifies this accumulation of history and economic vitality by conceiving of the design as a series of undulating floor plates. This feature revives and augments existing site conditions and interweaves the open air market on the ground floor with the office spaces above. The design will also open up the roof through a vertical circulation system, allowing patrons from the market to enjoy views of downtown Pittsburgh, and establish the buildings presence in the district as an economic engine.

Facade Wall
The curtain wall facade works on the premise of dynamic porosity. As an individual walks along the length of the facade, sight lines open up through certain spheres while others are blocked, creating distorted reflections off their metallic coating.
The system also helps passively condition interior spaces. The circumference of the openings within the spheres are optimized to block summer sun, while allowing direct light to enter in winter. Thereby reducing heating and cooling loads.
The use of the double skin also has the added benefit of creating balcony areas around the perimeter of the building, eliminating the cloistered feeling that is prevalent in large office buildings and allowing tenants to have access to the strip, both visual and auditory.

Rock Landscape A ream of paper was utilized to orient and erect a 50-75 pound rock for a spiritual or cosmic ambition.
Group Members: kristen Gabriel, Edward Schelling
The form of the model was then transformed into a monolithic object to address programmatic requirements. Subtractive processes were employed to create one large and one small space to host a cinema and film archive.
Auxiliary programs include cafe and office space.

02 ROCk/PAPER/SCISSORSFall 2009
Instructor: E. Landry SmithRock/Paper/Scissors
The column as a structural form is used as a precedent to inform the project. Individual sheets of paper are rolled into tubes and grouped together to form a structural network on which the rock rests. Each tube is placed in accordance with the contours of the rock to create a paper landscape that reflects the importance of the monolith as an artifact. This relationship is further emphasized by creating a passageway underneath the rock. Light and air filters through the paper tubes that make up the landscape until it meets the rock itself, creating an awareness of the monolith above you.

Cinema The concept of the hovering mass is adapted to create an outdoor cinema.
The cinema becomes part of the landscape while the archives are situated between the tubes that contain the structure.
The structure is based on the concept of counter weighing the variable mass of the building through a tension system that runs through the tubes. This allows the cinema itself to be free of structural members, thereby creating the sense that the building is supported by the movie being projected onto its surface.

03 NEIGHBORHOOD MOSQUESpring 2010
Instructor: Dennis MaherNeighborhood Mosque
A mosque was to be designed that addressed the changing demographics of the East Side of Buffalo. The spacial sequencing present within islamic architecture became the primary focus.
A relationship between spacial sequencing and the existing site was explored.
The final design of the mosque incorporates textural cues from the site to create a series of spatial effects as one leaves the material world to enter into a spiritual and introspective state of mind.
The Analysis of voids on the site resulted in the delineation of a grid based on the orthogonal axis generated by the relationship of the voids to the buildings that flank them. The introduction of a new diagonal axis which combined the two directionalities present within the grid resulted in the form of the mosque.

Fin like members were derived from the texture of neighboring houses to emphasize the paths. Certain fins were then morphed into seating to create a welcoming atmosphere while others became skylights for natural lighting.
The diagonal pathways delineated on the roof of the mosque were projected into the prayer hall in order to act as archways that separate the genders in accordance with traditional Islamic customs.

05 POLONIA HOSPICE AND BIRTHING CENTERSpring 2011
Polonia is a historic neighborhood in the East Side of Buffalo. Primarily settled by Polish immigrants in the 19th century, the area has experienced rapid decline as their descendents began to move out leaving behind a surplus of abandoned housing. The Polonia Hospice and Birthing Center is meant to revitalize the neighborhood by creating a space for the community to come together and recapture the vitality of historic Polonia.

Community(social)
The purpose behind the design was to rethink the typical cold hospital architecture by creating a social core within the residential section of the building. These areas would host socially oriented programs, thereby causing patients to intermingle and educate each other rather than stay isolated in their rooms.

The social cores are identified by designing systematic surface intrusions. Developed via Grasshopper, these surface intrusions form seating and screen assemblies to blur the lines between private and public spaces by allowing sound and light to pass through its membrane.
The surface is also used to clad the building, allowing for increased visual interaction with the street.

06 SOCIAL BRIDGE: MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCES Fall 2011- Spring 2012
“An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” - Plutarch
The rift between the rich and the poor exist not only economically but also socially. The design attempts to create mutual awareness among these groups by providing a mixed income apartment complex containing rent controlled and luxury units. Complementing the adjacent streets of Chippewa St. and Delaware Ave., the building is intended to incorporate the suburbanites who drive through Delaware Ave. on their way to work in the Central Business District with the current residents comprised of establishments catering to Buffalo’s local night life.
By incorporating these two groups, the design seeks to create a modern community that is inclusive rather than exclusive.

Proposed
In order to bridge the gap between the two user groups the public program combines a gym and a restaurant by linking them through the circulation towers. This allows tenants to intermingle while simultaneously providing amenities which these groups might not otherwise enjoy.
Luxury units receive a place to eat that’s close by.Rent-controlled units receive access to a free gym.

Spatially the duality between the two unit types is emphasized through the shifting of the private spaces in relation to the public spaces.
In rent controlled units the bedrooms and bathrooms shift to accommodate a centralized shared kitchen and living area. Thereby blurring the line between domestic and social space.
In luxury units the same system of shifting is used to create smaller living spaces at either end of the apartment. Thereby creating a clear separation between the domestic area of the kitchen and the social area of the living room

double glazed low-e aluminum frame window :prevents heat from escaping through least insulated part of building.
wood screenbreaks up direct light in summer when excess heat is not desirable.
The facade is composed of a screen assembly that wraps the entirety of the building. This helps to visually unify the luxury and rent controlled apartments.At the same time, the screen is also utilized to mediate between the exterior and interior environments through rain screen, canopy and privacy screen assemblies.

The privacy screen serves to mediate between the central courtyard and the apartments that surround it.
The rain screen assembly allows air to pass behind the facade thereby preventing condensation from forming.
The canopy screen allows for solar shading in the summer months while the point loaded glass ensures that it is occupiable in winter.

Servicing Public and residential spaces are conditioned through a forced air system that utilizes a central boiler and chiller.The air supply and return are located along the walls of the apartments creating a thermal film around each unit.In fall and spring the heat rejected by the restaurant and the cool air rejected by the gym could be diverted to supplement apartment conditioning.
Structure The structure is comprised of a recycled steel frame with precast hollowcore concrete planks 10’ x 25’. This 10’ increment is used to form the basis for the spatial organization of each unit.
Egress The two egress towers are rated for 3 hours and uses natural ventilation in accordance with IBC standards for residential construction.
Sustainability The project utilizes sustainable strategies throughout the design and construction phase to meet the AIA standards of sustainability.
