Brake Apart is a bicycle transit center which begins to connect Philadelphia cyclists with the city’s public transportation by activating unutilized spaces in the Market East train station. As part of the sustainable design Brake Aparts program is a series of installations inserted into unengaged spaces found along the train station. Using this approach allows the valuable gray space found in Philadelphia to remain open for other recreational uses. It also allows the installations to becomedependent on the utilities of the train station, propelling its overall design to become part of Market East while remaining its own organic form. The ve installations are located throughout the building with the main access originating from three locations on Filbert Street or from the stations platforms.

his o par pro ec as to study a famous house from the 1920’s exploring concepts, and design implementations, The pro ect to the right is Lovell Beach house in California by Rudolph Schindler The pro ect to the left is the second part of the pro ect, designing a visitors center for the original house. The visitors center is located across the beach, a few feet into the ocean. It is raised on stilts and moves up and down with the tides. It follows the same grid system as the Lovell Beach house allowing for eqaul organization.

in Buenos Aires. The existing neighborhood consists mainly of industrial buildings and large truc traf c. This articular ro ect ex lodres re location of traf c and edestrian routes. It also creates a central civic square in the center of the site that connects directly with the main congressional square in Buenos Aires. This central square would contain a library, museum and theater which is placed in the center of the square and lifted off the gruound to keep a direct line of site to the river open. This was also done to create a gate way into the town. The desgin also considers the reuse of many

DVGBC competition

Brake Apart was for the DVGBC bike project. This project chose the market east trains station and used parasitic architecture to place the program throughout the station. The shape of these objects comes from the study shown below of transforming simple bike storage into a closed form housing the different programatic requirements.

The Museum of Digital Art, MODA, was to combine a unique use of steel while creating a space for digital art. The site was located at Walnut and 30th street and proposed the challenge of two street levels, upper and lower 30th. The pro ect was for a steel competition and the requirements along with program was to show case steel throughout the pro ect. The concept of this pro ect was in nit , replicating the in nite possiblities of the digital realm. The circulation followed a winding path contained within bridges which opened to similar 4 similar pods that housed different types of artwork. The steel consisted of a vertical truss connecting to a horizontal truss and an Ibeam on the other side. All the steel was exposed allong for the understanding of the structure while in the buillding.
