Dr. KennedyHomes
Design XThe project was to design a low-income housing complex inthe heart of Fort Lauderdale. The site’s surroundings and it’shistoric background provided for a great starting point.The challenge was to take advantage of all the alreadypublic amenities around, while at the same time give thefuture residents a sense of belonging.

Site plan
The idea behind the design was to create a project which would reflect the history of the site. By mixingboth, the natural history; the everglades, and the man-made history; the old Dr. Kennedy Homes, thedesign started to unfold. The vistas that cut through the site, and the clustering of the units, are derived bythe previous architecture, while the movement, transition and connections are inspired by the everglades.
The design is intended to improve the connection between the neighborhood and Broward Boulevard,which is the gateway into the city. The paths of the site are designed in order to create a pleasant andbeautiful transition, just as the everglades flows from Lake Okeechobee to the Miami Bay, the peoplepassing through the site will go from a small neighborhood to a big city.

Las Olas BlvdMaster Plan +
Mix-Use Building
Design IXA 3 people project which had as an objective to improvethe whole corridor of Las Olas Bvld. from the heart ofdowntown to the beach front. After doing so, we had topick a lot within the master plan and design a structureresponding to the site and the master plan. Before weembarked on this project, we did a lot of field researchof what was and was not working on the corridor, pluswe looked at future issues that could affect the area.

Master plan: beach area and mix-use building site
Our objective was to provide every different sector of the corridor with useful and well though outamenities, connections, parks, among others, that would be consistent giving it a unique atmosphere.One of the main things we worried about, was to make it walkable, so small urban pockets were providedat approximately 5 minutes walks apart. Another big change was to make the area of “Las Olas Blvd.Shops” totally pedestrian by closing the flow of automotive traffic.
The idea behind the tall mix-use building on the beach front was to give an end to the corridor. The groundprovides public areas related to the beach, while hiding the parking on top. Residences were designed onthe top floors in order to locate the rapidly growing population of Las Olas Blvd.

Tater TownMaster Plan +
Mix-Use Building
Design IXFor this project we worked in groups of 3, and we had the taskof designing a master plan for Boulevard Gardens; referred asTater Town by the locals, and to re-imagine and expand on anexisting farmers market within the master plan, while followingthe codes and regulations for the area. This low incomeneighborhood had no identity plus the public amenities withinand around it felt disconnected.

Master plan and site for mix-use building
The driving force for the design was to reconnect and emphasise the important amenities available in thearea. Interconnecting linear parks allowed us to redefine how people would move through thecommunity, while providing them with easier and faster access to important areas. These large green andmuch needed areas would not only serve as circulation, but would be useful space for many activities.
The owner of the existing farmers market, wanted a multi-storey mix-use building to be design on his site.The “L” shaped lot allowed us to give emphasis to the market area which would welcome the pedestrians.Skinny duplexes were designed with the intention to provide a more playful view which could potentiallyhelp give a sense of place not only to the market, but to the whole community.

Ft. LauderdaleDrama Theater
Design VIIIThe project was to design a drama theater rightnext to a historic house (Stranahan House) in FortLauderdale. The program required seating for atleast 500 people. The site was located in front of theNew River, which gave a beautiful backdrop. Theinspiration for the project had to be taken from anyecosystem present in Florida.

Abstract representation of a “Gator Hole (Dry season)”. Ink on mylar
Taking the everglades and the alligators as inspiration, helped me obtain at the end of the semester thestrongest concept of the class. “Gator Hole (Dry season)” depicts an alligator hole/pool full of life, while it’ssurroundings are bare. “Alligator Vertebrae” shows the contrast of the strong vertebrae, yet fragileappearance, of the animal’s rib cage.
In order to represent this fragile ecosystem through architecture, folding planes and skinny fracturedcolumns were used. The ground level of the site, is public and open to the air, except for the entranceswhich lead to the Main (2nd) floor. The enclosed theater area is surrounded with open air terraces roofedwith dramatic falling and folding planes. These create various spaces with different perspectives to the city.

Student Union3rd Iteration
Design VIIThroughout the whole semester we did 5 differentiterations of a student union building for FAU. The lotwas between a 12 story building (FAU) and a 7 storyparking garage. The program for this project wasvery broad, including retail, dinning, classrooms,offices, a gallery, and even some living areas for thestudents of the University.

Looking up in the main atrium
For the 3rd iteration of this project the intention was to create a strong connection between the differentlayers of uses that were required by the program. The structure was designed in order to follow the rigidurban grid present in Fort Lauderdale, but the “box” will be carved out towards the front (East side facesother FAU buildings) so that the internal layers of the building could be revealed.
The big atrium, which created the main space of the strucuture, allowed for people to be connected andhave cross-views of all the floors. Therefore, during class time or high traffic hours the building public areaswould come alive with people talking from one floor to another, or just watching the flow of students. Moreprivate terraces, were also provided on the back and sides of the building for activities such as studing.

Glavovic StudioDrawings for an art project called FLOW, which is to beincorporated into the new Fort Lauderdale CountyCourthouse breezeway, were done and developed byme. I was also involved in the making of someschematic 3D images. These conceptual images werepresented to the city of Fort Lauderdale for revisionand approval of the project.

Sign
Glavovic StudioFor this project I had a small task, it was to develop a3D model of the sign, in order to study and find the bestangle for the leave. The importance of this angle wasbecause of the shadow that the sign will cast, while atthe same time having the letters be legible for thepedestrians. There are currently 3 signs at the Museumof Art Fort Lauderdale.

Plastic MomentFAU Charette
2011This was a group project which was designed inand presented in 5 days. The idea was to createan intervention on the FAU plaza which usedrecyclable materials and represented the wholeuniversity. Our project won the charette and hasbeen built twice since, once for a fundraiser andonce for Artwalk.

Color, material, space classThe inspiration for this contruct was “dripping paint” (which was myprevious project for the class). The idea was to create a 3D spacefollowing the same principle. The “paint”, in this case the strips, startto twist and turn while creating the space to then, at the end stopjust as paint on a canvas.
